As the army marched on, the earth seemed to tremble.
The sounds of horses' hooves and footsteps converged into a powerful force, surging towards Longmen Pass.
Elite cavalry from the Jingwang Mansion in Lingzhou - the Splendid Phoenix Cavalry
They were dressed in brocade robes, their armor inlaid with exquisite phoenix patterns, gleaming brightly.
The movements were swift and elegant, like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring through the air.
Like a sharp sword blade, it pierces straight into the enemy's heart.
Within this mysterious army, the Splendid Phoenix Riders are undoubtedly the elite of the elite, and their presence greatly enhances the overall combat effectiveness.
At this moment, they were like phoenixes spreading their wings, tearing through the enemy lines with unparalleled speed and impact.
Each charge was like a wildfire spreading, chilling the enemy to the bone.
In addition to the Magnificent Phoenix Cavalry, several other elite units together constitute this powerful army.
One of these cavalry units, known as the "Broken Army Iron Cavalry," was heavily armored and wielded long spears. When they charged, they were like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
Swift and highly penetrating, it can often quickly tear through the enemy's defenses.
Another archer unit called the "Divine Arrow Battalion" was responsible for the long-range strike force of this army.
Wielding powerful bows and crossbows, their arrows never missed, and each volley inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
Like a messenger of death, they weave a deadly net with a rain of arrows, leaving the enemy nowhere to escape.
These elite troops, cherished by various vassal kings, formed the raiding army.
On the battlefield, each person performed their duties and cooperated seamlessly.
The Magnificent Phoenix Cavalry, as the vanguard, led the army to break through the enemy lines; the Breaking Army Iron Cavalry followed closely behind, expanding the gains; the Divine Arrow Battalion provided long-range support from the rear, suppressing the enemy.
When this allied army appeared like a ghost behind the Sparrow King's army, Long Junzuo's face turned green.
He never expected that such a powerful enemy force would appear behind him.
At this moment, the Sparrow King's army was launching a full-scale attack on Longmen Pass and was unable to send reinforcements.
The splendid phoenix riders at the forefront took the lead and launched a fierce charge.
Their warhorses neighed, their iron hooves pounding the earth, and their spears, like a forest, pierced straight into the enemy ranks.
The Iron Cavalry followed closely behind, advancing steadily with an impenetrable defense and a powerful offensive.
The archer battalion drew their bows and nocked their arrows in the rear, unleashing a dense rain of arrows that resembled a web of death.
The rear of the Sparrow King's army was shrouded in a hail of arrows.
Under the fierce attack of this allied force, the rear positions of the Sparrow King's army were quickly lost.
Outside Longmen Pass, war raged and smoke filled the air.
Elite units such as the Splendid Phoenix Cavalry, the Breaking Army Iron Cavalry, and the Divine Arrow Battalion performed their respective duties on the battlefield with excellent teamwork, demonstrating astonishing combat power.
...
Meanwhile, on the edge of Wenzhou, dust billowed as the allied forces of the vassal kings, clad in various colored armor, slowly made their way into the heart of Wenzhou like a colorful dragon.
This refers to the rear movement of the Dragon King's army and the Sparrow King's army.
The sunlight slanted down, illuminating the various types of armor and weapons, as if even heaven and earth were awestruck by the imposing presence of this army.
At the very front of the procession, Shangguan Lie, now the Prince of Jing, rode a tall warhorse, his eyes piercing and his expression cold.
Beside him, the brilliant strategist Li He rode alongside.
With a face as smooth as jade and a calm demeanor, she was like a gentle breeze in the mountains or a bright moon on the river, pure and detached.
"Yunyi, what's your view on the current situation?"
Shangguan Lie turned his head to look at Li He, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"Your Highness, although Long Junzuo's Sparrow King Army is renowned, it is exhausted after days of fighting."
"At this moment, they must be off guard. If our allied forces launch an attack with lightning speed, we will surely achieve unexpected results."
Li He smiled slightly, a smile that revealed the composure and calmness of a wise man.
"That makes a lot of sense."
"So... what are Yunyi's thoughts on Lie's next strategy?"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lie nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"Your Highness, we can split into two groups. One group can be led by you personally, following behind the elite cavalry such as the Embroidered Phoenix Cavalry."
"Strike straight towards Long Junzuo's Sparrow King Army in the direction of Longmen Pass and disrupt their formation."
"The other route was led by General Lü Guyun, who used the terrain and strategy to deliver a fatal blow to the Sparrow King's army at a critical moment."
Li He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Lü Guyun was Shangguan Lie's childhood friend. He had just returned to the fold and was immediately appointed as a general by Shangguan Lie.
They are currently the strongest fighting force in Prince Jing's mansion.
During a sparring session with Lang Fanyun, the master guard who was by Su Qin's side.
They even suppressed Lang Fanyun at one point.
Their strength is so great that it can now be said to be unmatched in the entire alliance of feudal lords.
"Hahaha! Great!"
"Then we shall do as Yunyi says!"
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lie couldn't help but clap his hands and burst into laughter:
The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes sparkling with a desire for victory and a vision for the future.
"Yun Yi, if we achieve a great victory in this battle, your contribution will be indispensable."
"After the war is over, I will put in a good word for you with my sister."
Shangguan Lie laughed loudly, then teased Li He.
No one expected that Mr. Yunyi, who had always been so refined and elegant, would...
He actually fell for a rich girl who had absolutely no outstanding qualities.
Even if this rich young lady is the daughter of a royal family.
However, compared to Li He's talent, which is enough to overturn the world.
There's nothing particularly noteworthy about her being the daughter of King Jing.
only...
The glint in Li He's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Many years ago, in that spring, peach blossoms bloomed like clouds, their petals fluttering gently in the breeze.
In that ancient Taoist temple, there was a young, inexperienced Taoist priest.
He silently recited scriptures and meditated every day, living a life free from worldly strife.
At that time, Princess Jing often brought her children to the Taoist temple to pray for Prince Jing's well-being.
At that time, she was dressed in brocade and finery, adorned with jewels, yet her lively spirit remained undiminished.
The young Taoist priest looked up unintentionally and met those watery eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to see the stars and the sea, and was also drawn in by the profound emotions.
The girl was also quite active at that time.
Over time, the two became acquainted.
But later, in the final period of time...
Princess Jing had not visited for many years.
After the young lady finished praying, she got up to leave, but stumbled slightly at the threshold.
The young Taoist priest felt pity and instinctively reached out to help her up.
The moment their eyes met.
At that moment, ripples spread through his heart.
After years of quiet contemplation, my heart was finally stirred.
From that day on, the rich young lady never came to the Taoist temple again.
The young Taoist priest also felt a new concern in his heart.
He often recalled those eyes, clear and bright, like a mountain spring cleansing his soul.
He knew he had fallen in love with the mortal world, yet he couldn't let go of his attachment to it.
As time went by, the young Taoist priest gradually grew up. He became one of the most outstanding figures in the Taoist temple.
However, his heart could never find peace.
Whenever the night was quiet, he would always play that jade flute.
The flute music was melodious and lingering, as if it were telling him his innermost thoughts.
Later, an old Taoist priest who had come down from the mountain to buy supplies talked about the current situation in Dayong.
And... the one from Prince Jing's mansion is about to marry another prince, making this a grand occasion together.
He said nothing, but carrying the jade flute that symbolized his connection with the mortal world, he embarked on an unknown journey.
He left the Taoist temple that had occupied his entire life.
Subsequently, he orchestrated the Jingwang Mansion Incident.
King Jing was unaware of this matter, nor was the wealthy young lady.
She might even have forgotten the young Taoist priest she had inadvertently helped when she was young.
