“Eat us?” Pei Ku’s eyes glared, although he did not want to believe that someone would dare to do this, but after carefully analysing the situation at this moment, he had to believe that Han Qianqian was indeed intending to do so.
“Order the troops to return fire with all their might.” Hei Yu bellowed coldly.
“Yes!”
“Tell everyone that this battle is the final battle, either we will sing and dance in Cailuo City after victory, or we will go back and thank the Holy Lord with our heads after defeat.”
“Yes!”
As his subordinates led the way, Pei Ku nodded to his attendant, signalling that he should immediately order his troops to join in the counter-attack.
“Whoo!”
The trumpet sounded loudly.
Along with the sound of killing, the general attack of the Hei Yu army was launched at the same time.
All at once, the fire became more fierce, the earth shook more, and all the fighting became more ferocious.
Countless men fell, and countless others came to replace them.
Shouts of blood and limbs followed the shouting, and the charge followed the fall of the soldiers.
The battle was fierce and gruesome.
When the moon was high in the sky and the battle had been raging for several hours, the situation began to become clearer.
The left flank was still intact, but the right flank had almost been cut open by a huge gap in the sharp-sworded detachment.
The small detachment of forty-four men still had difficulty in resisting.
Still, the strong and constant strength of the opposing side took a heavy toll on the forty-four men, with almost everyone dying, and several falling to the ground for good.
In contrast, the situation on the left and right flanks was already extremely good, after all, the opponent’s main force was not here, the front line was the main target of their attack, and naturally, the casualties of Han’s three thousand men were truly heavy.
“Of the 13,000-odd men in the northern gate’s men, there are already only 3,700 left.”
“The ten thousand men of the South Gate’s congregation are also reduced to over eight thousand at this point.”
“The West Gate’s congregation of fourteen thousand men, with seven thousand left, has suffered more than half of the casualties.”
Hearing the report of the three gate commanders, Han Qianqian’s face showed sadness, that is to say, the brothers who rushed out with him were nearly 40,000 men, but now there were only about 10,000 left.
Nodding heavily, Han Qianqian gritted his teeth, “I’m sorry for them.”
“Lord, from the first day we became soldiers, we have already predicted what we will see today.
“Yes, we still have ten thousand brothers, we can’t even defend the city now, let’s fight with them.”
Fight?
Han Qianqian swept a glance at the enemy army in front of him. Although they had lost a lot of men and horses, their overall superiority in numbers still made them look strong and black at the moment.
With a bitter smile, “Are you all really not afraid of death?”
“If you were afraid of death, you wouldn’t be standing here.”
“That’s right.”
“Good!” Han Qianqian nodded, his jade sword clenched in his hand, his eyes bloodthirsty, hardening his heart as he looked across at the Underworld Rain army, “Then let’s fight them to the end.”
“Commander of the three gates!”
“My subordinates are here!” The three men answered in unison.
“Gather all the brothers and retreat fifty metres to the rear.” Han Qianqian said.
When they heard this, the Three Sect Commanders were stunned. They were all ready to charge to their deaths, but Han Qianqian suddenly gave this order, so much so that the men were dumbfounded on the spot.
“Fall back?” The three gate commanders said in almost unison.
“That’s right, fall back!” Han Qianqian said indifferently.
“Allied Lord, aren’t we …… going to attack?”
“Yes, you are telling us to fall back, what is …… this about?”
“Allied Lord, such an order, we forgive difficult to obey, now fighting to this point, we have no other choice, either charge or die, retreat, is impossible.”
“That’s right, we will never retreat half a metre! Allied Lord, the general is out there, the military orders are not accepted!”
Looking at a group of people who were all as determined to die as they were to die, Han Qianqian was crying and laughing, full of helplessness.
It wasn’t like he was really telling them to just retreat, it was just ……
“Don’t worry!” Han Qianqian looked at the three helplessly and laughed bitterly, “I’m just telling you to retreat a little first. I …… I ……”
“Allied Lord, what’s wrong with you?”
“Allied Lord, please say something.”
Han Qianqian sighed, “You guys get out of the way, I …… am going to pretend!”
