Chapter 217: Chapter 60: Husband and Wife Gazing at Each Other Across the River_3

Yin Nanyu observed the army of the Iron Slaughter, which seemed somewhat disheveled. “The oncoming army doesn’t seem to be attacking us; rather, it seems to be… fleeing?” he questioned skeptically.

“No matter what, let’s get into formation for battle first.”

Hu Yunjiao, the leader of the army, was clearly highly experienced.

Under his command, the Dragon Riders of the Yan began to deploy to their flanks.

They took the form of a knife’s edge, defending the sides of the army, their arrows ready on their crossbows, prepared to fire.

The core of the army was upheld by soldiers holding shields, connected layer by layer.

Through the openings between the shields, spears were in place ready to cut the legs of the enemy’s cavalry.

In front, rows of caltrops were laid.

This was the first time Zhao Huai had been at the scene of a battle. An aura of solemnity hit him instantly.

The Yan army was perfectly disciplined, with no superfluous movements, displaying their training with every action.

Soon, another flag appeared in sight.

The words “Changning” were inscribed on it.

Silver armored soldiers emerged before them.

Horses of fire charged forward, their riders carrying sharp black blades that flickered like obsidian. With smooth swipes, the blades cut through the Iron Slaughter’s black armor, spilling a great deal of hot blood everywhere.

The numbers of silver-armored soldiers were multiplying. They outnumbered the Iron Slaughter by several times.

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the sky was filled with the sound of cutting air, as a heavy rain of arrows descended.

Even if the arrows didn’t pierce through the Iron Slaughter’s armor, they slowed them down significantly.

“It’s the divine arm crossbow of the Xia.”

Almost instantly, Hu Yunjiao recognized the material of the arrowheads on the ground in the distance.

With this, Zhao Huai understood that the Xia army was chasing the Northern Wolf, and that’s why the Iron Slaughter were all running away.

“Didn’t the Xia’s New Emperor die? How can they still have the power to chase and attack the Northern Wolf Empire’s army?” Zhao Huai asked, unable to suppress his doubt.

Theoretically, with the new emperor’s death, the Xia should have barely managed to defend their city gates against the overwhelming and unstoppable Northern Wolf Army. How could they manage to chase after the Northern Wolf and attack?

It seemed like they had won the battle, considering their high spirits.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Hu Yunjiao’s eyes flashed with killing intent and he shouted forcefully, “Attack!”

The flag-bearer beside him immediately waved the command flag, issuing orders.

Knowing that the Iron Slaughter were not after the Yan, there was no need for hesitation.

Regardless of whether they were Northern Wolves or the Xia, all were enemies of the Yan.

The Dragon Riders of the Yan on both sides charged at the enemy ahead.

Under the sunlight, the Yan’s Blood-Scale Jade Armor shone brilliantly.

Their spears were capable of directly piercing through humans.

In just a short while, they annihilated the Iron Slaughter before them.

They then faced the silver-armored army waving the “Changning” flag.

Just when Hu Yunjiao planned to take advantage of the situation and continue attacking relentlessly.

“Buddump!”

A dull horn noise came from the other side of the riverbank.

Echoing over the plain.

The silver-armored soldiers immediately halted their charge, turned their horses, and left without looking back.

They were extremely decisive, with no one left behind, or any sign of hesitation. This was comparable to the discipline of the Dragon Riders of the Yan.

Seeing this, Hu Yunjiao ordered his army to stop progressing as well.

He also sensed the unusual atmosphere, and he mused, “Who is commanding this army? They are impressively sharp, definitely not to be underestimated.”

“So many people, is that the Xia’s army?” At the same time, Zhao Huai’s golden dragon carriage had arrived at the front of the army. He squinted at the opposite bank, then asked.

They were covered in silver armor, reflecting the light, and were rather dazzling.

A figure was seen riding a horse, standing with great dignity, was also watching them.

Looking at the silhouette, it seemed to be a woman.

Unfortunately, a large river separated them, and the distance was too far, even using Divine Insight it was impossible to probe, and they could only see a silhouette.

..On the other side of the river.

Yu Qinghan was sat on horseback, surrounded by silver-armored guards.

“Sister, there’s still an army over there.” Pei Xiangyun squinted into the distance with her hand shielding her eyes, but still couldn’t see clearly.

All she could observe was a massive crowd of people.

“That’s the Yan’s army.” Yu Qinghan said indifferently.

With her personal courage, she boosted the morale of the army.

And in advance she made plans, before entering the capital, she borrowed the Imperial Edict from His Majesty, making the Garrison Army in Guanzhong and the border defense army from the Western Edge diverge from their original route and set up an encirclement for the hundred -thousand strong Northern Wolf Army.

But the trap she laid was indeed a little hasty.

She still allowed the Wolf Emperor to escape.

She had been pursuing the surviving remnants of his defeated army all the way to the riverside.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, she ran into the army from Yan country.

“Sister, I think I see a carriage up there, could it be the Crown Prince of Yan who has been much talked about lately?”

“Should we fight them? Or maybe have a meet up, at least make ourselves known to them.”

Pei Xiangyun’s almond eyes sparked of excitement.

Xia had just given the invading army of the Northern Wolf Empire a severe beating.

She believed that no one could be her sister’s match, including the Crown

Prince of Yan.

Yu Qinghan shook her head: “No need, there’s nothing good to see. Right now, the soldiers of Changning have pursued them this far and are already weary, and the soldiers of Yan are well-rested and full of energy. We have no advantage in this, let’s retreat.”

“But, it looks like they want to attack us.” Pei Xiangyun said.

Yu Qinghan said casually: “That was before, now, they wouldn’t dare.”

She took another look at the Yangtze River and seemed quite thoughtful.

“Royal Crown Prince, the situation has changed. Xia’s situation does not seem as harsh as we thought. They have revealed their tracks and it seems difficult for them to fight again.”

Hu Yunjiao reported to Zhao Huai, his expression extremely serious.

This expedition to the north was meant to take advantage of the situation.

We were hoping to recover some lost territories while the Northern Wolf was invading.

If we were to confront Xia’s main army head-on…

That would certainly be unwise.

Zhao Huai understood this too.

Yan had just regained its nation, its army was small in comparison to Xia which had an army of nearly a million men, it was far weaker.

His assets were not plentiful, whatever was spent was gone.

But having set out, we must not return without any gain at all, right?

“General Hu, didn’t you say there were still quite a number of tribes and clans in the Southwest Mountain Ridges that have not yet surrendered? Why not take this opportunity to quell them.”

Hu Yunjiao nodded his head, understanding the intention of the Crown Prince, and gently bowed his hand, saying:

“Yes,indeed.”

He found that the Crown Prince was still observing the other side of the river, and he couldn’t help but to ask curiously: “Your Highness, what are you watching?”

Zhao Huai shook his head, smiling faintly:

“Nothing, it just felt that the woman standing on the other side of the river looked a little familiar, must be my overthinking.”

Yin Nanyu watched, analyzed: “I suspect that someone has steadied the situation, killed the Queen Dowager and the young monarch, and controlled the imperial court situation. Otherwise, Xia could not possibly cope with this overwhelming attack from Northern Wolf.”

“My guess, it is the Xia Princess, who is notoriously murderous and known as the female Demon.”

Zhao Huai’s brows slightly wrinkled, he said: “If it is so, the Princess’s heart is really too ruthless.”

“Human heart is unpredictable, there’s nothing that is impossible.”

At the time when the armies of both Xia and Yan were simultaneously withdrawing…

Snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Soon, it turned into a heavy snowstorm.

“Your Highness, it’s snowing.”

“Unconsciously a year has passed. It’s almost New Year, time really goes by quickly.”

“I’m just wondering, my husband, he should be able to see this snow too.”
