Chapter 668 Retreat, Chengdu Makes a Move
"Big brother, we're surrounded!"
Wanyan Yindanzi's expression changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with anxiety as he looked at Wanyan Jindanzi.
"Fear not, we brothers will die on the battlefield!"
Wanyan Jindanzi's eyes were wide open, his roar was deafening, and he gripped the purple-gold drum hammer tightly in his hand, charging left and right among the many Dragon City cavalry.
However, at that moment, countless arrows launched from the "Wind Chaser" pierced the sky above them, heading straight for Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi, encompassing their area along with the many cavalrymen and Longcheng cavalrymen beside them.
Wanyan Jindanzi was terrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
"Pfft!"
Many of the Dragon City cavalry and their mounted riders were hit by arrows and fell from their horses in the face of this sudden, dense rain of arrows.
Although Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi tried their best to resist, one or two arrows still pierced through Wanyan Jindanzi's iron armor and pierced deep into his chest.
Wanyan Jindanzi felt a sharp pain and almost lost his grip on the heavy drum-shaped purple-gold hammer.
"Big brother!"
Wanyan Yindanzi's eyes were bloodshot with rage. He roared and brandished his bright silver hammer, fighting and retreating, leading Wanyan Jindanzi back to the rear where only five or six hundred men remained in the cavalry formation.
However, at that moment, another volley of arrows flew in, killing a large number of the cavalrymen beside them.
Seeing this Jurchen Wanyan clan's carefully trained force suffer heavy losses from the thousand cavalry brought by his two brothers, he was deeply impressed.
Wanyan Yindanzi turned to look in the direction of Murong Chui, his eyes blazing with fury.
"Murong Chui, you despicable scoundrel!"
"Such brutality! You don't even spare your own tribe's cavalry! You're acting like a commander of an army!"
Wanyan Yindanzi roared.
"Kill! All-out attack!"
However, Murong Chui merely smiled coldly and then waved his hand to give the order.
As time went on, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear.
As Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi retreated, their thousand elite cavalry also suffered heavy losses, and the Murong Xianbei cavalry on the main battlefield had firmly gained the upper hand.
Meanwhile, the two Wanyan brothers, who had retreated into the formation, saw that their cavalry had suffered heavy losses and that the number of Wanyan cavalry had also been greatly reduced. Their hearts were filled with raging anger, and they almost lost their minds. Their eyes were bloodshot as they looked at the figure that was slowly appearing in their field of vision. They immediately rushed towards Murong Chui without regard for anything else.
Murong Chui's position was not far from theirs because he was personally commanding the battle and fighting alongside the army.
As a renowned and powerful general, he often personally went to the battlefield, and would even follow the main army to convey new orders and respond accordingly.
Therefore, at this moment, Murong Chui was not far from the Longcheng cavalry when he was directly rushed to his side by the berserk Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi.
However, Murong Chui did not change his mind at all. He had just personally arrived at the very center of the battlefield, so he naturally had something to rely on.
Seeing Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi charging towards him like wild horses, he remained calm and composed, his expression unchanged.
"I've heard that General Yuwen of Cangzhou is exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts, having reached the level of a War God. He is no weakling even among War Gods. I wonder if Daoming (Murong Chui's courtesy name) could witness his prowess today?"
Murong Chui's words carried a hint of indifference.
His gaze did not linger on the charging Wanyan brothers, but instead turned to the golden-faced, long-bearded figure beside him, with tiger-like eyes and thick eyebrows, wearing a golden helmet with two phoenixes on his head, dressed in golden chainmail, and holding a golden phoenix-winged halberd weighing four hundred catties in his hand.
At this moment, Yuwen Chengdu, riding his five-spotted steed Sailong, stood quietly beside Murong Chui, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a god descending to earth.
Upon hearing Murong Chui's words, Yuwen Chengdu glanced sideways, then smiled slightly, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
As far as Yuwen Chengdu was concerned, as long as Murong Chui didn't target his elite Taoist army, the Iron Pagoda, and only allowed him to take action alone, that would be a good outcome.
Since he was acting on his lord's orders, he was willing to take action.
After all, he and Jin Wuzhu had figured it out over this period of time.
The Murong Xianbei are all quite good, especially in terms of leadership. Apart from Murong Chui, who is in no way inferior to the generals in the Cangzhou army in his memory, there are also many other Murong generals who are exceptionally capable commanders.
However, in contrast, they do not have any outstanding martial arts masters in terms of individual combat strength.
"General Murong, you are too kind. Chengdu will do its utmost."
Yuwen Chengdu's voice was deep and resonant. He slowly urged his mount forward a few steps, blocking the path of Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi.
Seeing that a Cheng Yaojin had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Wanyan Jindanzi and Wanyan Yindanzi both roared and swung their hammers at Yuwen Chengdu without hesitation.
When the two brothers joined forces, their power was extraordinary. Their yellowish-brown and silver-gray qi intertwined, as if they were about to tear the air apart.
"Ding! Yuwen Chengdu's skills Tianbao and Hengyong have been activated!"
Currently, Yuwen Chengdu's base martial prowess is 107. His weapon, the Phoenix-Winged Gilded Axe, is +1; his divine steed, the Dragon-Riding Five-Spotted Steed, is +1; the second effect of the Heavenly Treasure skill is activated, increasing his martial prowess by +6; the first effect of the Courageous Warrior skill is activated, increasing his martial prowess by +5; currently engaged in a group battle, his martial prowess increases by +2; and finally, Yuwen Chengdu's martial prowess has risen to 124!
Faced with the two men's aggressive attacks, Yuwen Chengdu snorted coldly, his whole body bursting with golden energy, like an indestructible wall of copper and iron. The four-hundred-pound Phoenix Wing Gold Axe in his hand was wielded with great force, each swing causing the surrounding air to rumble.
As the Phoenix Winged Gilded Axe collided with Wanyan Jindanzi's Golden Hammer, a deafening roar resounded.
"Bang!"
The two enormous forces collided, and Wanyan Jindanzi felt an irresistible force coming from the hammer, which made his hands go numb and his body involuntarily take a few steps back.
Yuwen Chengdu, however, remained as steady as Mount Tai, completely unmoved.
Seeing this, Wanyan Yindanzi roared in anger as well, and his bright silver hammer swept across with silver-gray energy, aiming straight for Yuwen Chengdu's waist.
Yuwen Chengdu slightly shifted his body to the side, skillfully avoiding the attack. At the same time, he swung the Phoenix Wing Gold Axe in his hand upwards at an incredible angle, aiming straight for Wanyan Yindanzi's chest.
Wanyan Yindanzi was shocked and hurriedly withdrew his hammer to defend, but he was still a beat too late.
With a "ripping" sound, the phoenix-winged gilded axe ripped open the armor on his shoulder, revealing the bloody flesh beneath.
"What a formidable fellow!"
Wanyan Yindanzi gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
He and Wanyan Jindanzi exchanged a glance, their minds in sync, and once again swung their hammers, attacking Yuwen Chengdu from the left and right.
We dare not be careless in the slightest.
The two exchanged a glance, nodded, and then simultaneously accelerated, charging towards Yuwen Chengdu.
