The drums of war sound, and the battle is about to begin.
Archers line up on the city wall and shoot arrows at the Western Region Army below the city.
At the same time, You Xuanyao rides out with a group of soldiers through the city gate and launches an attack on the enemy.
For now, let's not discuss the strength of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Forest Army. Just the Tiger Flame Army alone, every soldier is an elite trained personally by You Xuanyao. They have followed You Xuanyao through life and death, and have fought on the battlefield for many years. To them, the tens of thousands of soldiers in the Western Region Army are truly not enough to contend with. Soon, the soldiers led by You Xuanyao gained the upper hand, gradually establishing an unstoppable trend.
You Xuanyao Bathed in blood, the silver armor was covered in bloodstains. His attention never wavered from Xiao Zheng. Whether it was for his father or for Yang Qingge, he was determined to claim Xiao Zheng's head.
However, at that moment, the soldiers behind him suddenly let out a scream. You Xuanyao turned around and saw a large group of poisonous insects running out from somewhere. They crawled onto the horses and onto the people, biting and injecting venom into their flesh. In a daze, several centipedes also crawled onto You Xuanyao's legs. He quickly reacted, killing them and shaking off those disgusting creatures.
The ground is covered with these poisonous insects, and no matter how much I kill, I can't finish them off.
You Xuanyao instantly locks onto Xiao Zheng sitting at the back of the enemy, watching the show.
No wonder he's so confident with just a few tens of thousands of troops. It must be because of these disgusting things!
Perhaps his father, You Yan, also died at his hands in this way.
You Xuanyao once again hacked away the poisonous insects crawling on him and shouted to Cang Shen, "Kill Xiao Zheng first. He's controlling these things. If we don't kill him, everyone will die here!"
Cang Shen immediately killed several soldiers from the Western Region Army and rushed to his side, saying, "General, I'll cover you!"
Two people, one in front and one behind, back to back, advancing towards Xiao Zheng while killing the Western Region Army along the way. The soldiers behind them quickly overcame their initial panic, regrouped, and while shaking off the venomous insects, they fought and killed the enemy. You Xuanyao and Cang Shen had no time to worry about the venomous insects on their bodies, as they were covered in several wounds.
The blood on the armor had long been indistinguishable, they only knew they had to kill Xiao Zheng and protect Chang'an. With the perseverance built from years of fighting, the two were soon to face Xiao Zheng. And Xiao Zheng finally sensed that something was wrong, losing the calmness he had at the beginning.
As You Xuanyao lunged with his sword, he immediately got up to dodge, pulling the prince in front of him as a shield. The prince couldn't be killed, so You Xuanyao quickly pulled back, only slicing through the prince's clothes in front of his chest. It was at this moment that You Xuanyao noticed something was wrong with the prince.
The crown prince's eyes were hollow, and he hadn't said a word from the beginning until now when he was being pulled around by Xiao Zheng. He didn't react at all, as if...
You Xuanyao furrowed his brow: "Did you poison the crown prince?"
Xiao Zheng shrugged indifferently: "He's not very obedient, I just wanted to make him a little more compliant, isn't that excessive?"
With the crown prince as a shield, You Xuanyao and Cang Shen can no longer attack freely.
Seeing several swords about to stab the crown prince, You Xuanyao's eyes turned cold.
"Xiao Zheng, you are despicable and shameless!"
"Vile and shameless, so what? As long as I can achieve my goal, the lives of these soldiers in front of me are not worth sparing." Xiao Zheng stood behind the crown prince, provoking with a smile, "How do you think You Yan died? He was entangled by these venomous insects, unable to fight back, and was pierced by ten thousand arrows."
You Xuanyao suddenly erupted in anger, "Xiao Zheng, I want your life!"
He stepped on the edge of Xiao Zheng's carriage, leaped into the air, then spun around in mid-air, landing directly behind Xiao Zheng.
A cold light flashed, and You Xuanyao swiftly chopped off Xiao Zheng's arm holding the venomous insect. The arm thudded to the ground, causing Xiao Zheng's face to pale instantly. He released the prince and knelt on the ground. You Xuanyao's sword blade rested at his neck, a cold light flashing in her eyes. "Go die, Xiao Zheng."
