The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#81. Frontiers. VI
Chen Khu also did not force himself to continue chasing them up to the opponent's defensive line.. and it could be that among them there are still other high-level warriors and also have the ability to hide the aura of his strength.. Chen Khu did not want to take such a risk because his own strength was also running out. If because it benefits from the darkness of the night, it could be that the condition he is currently experiencing is reversed.
The night went dark, only stars were visible in the sky.The two armies that fought each other also no one dared to light a fire.. they are equally worried that someone will attack silently - silent if they know the position of their enemy.
Chen Khu who returned to the fort found General Chou and Ken and hundreds of other wounded warriors recovering their wounds.. while several thousand other soldiers who were also injured received treatment from their colleagues.
Other soldiers were busy cleaning up the bodies lying almost all over the inside of the fort while others tried to close back the destroyed part of the fort..five other mayors who came with help checked their remaining troops.
The pitch-black night situation gave both troops an opportunity to rest and recover their much drained manpower after fighting all day.
"How are you General..? " ask Chen Khu.
"I only got a few minor injuries.with the help of the healing pills. tomorrow morning I will definitely not feel much pain" replied General Chou who despite the very dark atmosphere of the night, but he could recognize the voice that asked him.
"Thank you for coming to Chen Khu's aid otherwise we might not be able to hold on until help arrives.we didn't expect that they would use the darkness of the night to break down the walls of the fort.. " connect General Chou
"General.on the way here.I saw another group of soldiers heading here.and probably will arrive at the earliest one day trip" said Chen Khu.
"I hope they can arrive sooner so that we can avenge their attacks and force them to leave the border" replied General Chou.
General Chou then asked the situation of his daughter who had been entrusted to the Flying Horse sect. Chen Khu was unable to answer General Chou's question.he said that if he did the exercises with Xie Annchi in a place very far from the Flying Horse sect.
Soon Chen Khu remembered Bao Kung, who had left him in an empty building far from the battle site. He then begged General Chou to go to that place.
"Older..how are the Elders..? " said Chen Khu from the darkness.
Bao Kung could sense that the owner of the voice was Chen Khu who had taken him away from the location of the battle.
"I still have difficulty healing my wounds.not to mention the deep wounds I have not fully recovered.I do not have enough energy to recover them all.. " answer Bao Kung who still looks weak.
Although with the remaining inner power is not too much for the size of the level swordsman.. but the inner strength Chen Khu had was still quite a lot if it was used to help recover the deep wounds experienced by one of the elders of the Flying Horse sect.
It had been nearly ten minutes since Chen Khu had placed both of his palms on Bao Kung's back.. The old man started coughing and spewing fresh blood.. Chen Khu who saw it then raised both hands and took out two golden apples and gave one to Bao Kun and another in his consumption to restore his strength.
After consuming golden apples which are a valuable resource that is very difficult to obtain by other warriors.The two warriors then dissolve in meditation - each of them is trying to recover energy as quickly as possible.. because it will face the battle again tomorrow.
The dawn has dawned.The sun is slowly - the land gives its light.The light also begins to shine on one part of the earth that has now been flushed by blood.
The soldiers of the Ming Empire were still exhausted by the look on their faces. Chen Khu and Bao Kung were also back inside the fort..
A number of soldiers who served to prepare food for other soldiers were already busy distributing bowls of food to each soldier and swordsman who had been in a standby position since dawn began to appear.
Emperor Yong Zheng's army was also not seen preparing for the attack.only General Tian Li and the soldiers preparing food were seen going back and forth. General Tian Li checked the condition of his troops who looked very exhausted.
With the number of more than two hundred and fifty thousand people, the strength of his army is still above the army of General Chou who lives more than one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers. Although still superior the number of soldiers, General Tian Li felt hesitant to return to attack, plus the figure of a high-ability young man who could crush his troops if the three personal guards of Emperor Yong Zheng had not fully recovered.
Chen Khu became a frightening specter for General Tian Li. how not. his troops who originally stayed a little longer won the battle.. he was quickly able to turn things around and could help General Chou to defend their fortress until reinforcements came.
The atmosphere in the fortress suddenly became boisterous when hundreds of warriors who joined the white-flow alliance came with enormous strength.. This swordsman was led directly by Wing Chun the sect head of the Hang Chu Mountain Temple who was also the head of the White Stream Alliance.
This time, the sects sent down their best warriors. Applause and shouting greeted their arrival.
"Your Master Wing Chun, I did not expect that the master teacher would come here" said General Chou as he saluted the arrival of the warriors.
"The emperor asked us here.the beggar sect that brought information from the Emperor who said that the Ming troops who were at the border were pushed by the Qing forces "
