Chapter 505: Chapter 267 Three Days Without Removing Armor! (8300 words)_2

Responsible for covering the rear was Wanyan Xian, who was also one of Wanyan Sheng’s trusted generals and would later be titled "Great King of the Sky."

He had clashed with the Qi Army countless times before, and almost every battle had ended in a sweeping victory for the Jin.

But this time, the situation was somewhat different.

He found that the combat power of these Qi soldiers was simply outrageous; each one charged forward as if their lives meant nothing, undeterred even as casualties piled up before them!

Soon, Wanyan Xian found the reason.

Because that mighty warrior, clad in golden armor, who had consecutively challenged several Jin cavalrymen at the front, was none other than the current Emperor of the Qi Dynasty, the former Prince Yun!

Wanyan Xian’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.

"The Emperor of Qi ... has he really taken to the battlefield himself?!"

Actually, prior to this, there had already been various signs indicating that someone with a higher status than Liu Fa was in command at the Western Army’s camp.

But the Jin had always been unwilling to believe that it was the Emperor of the Qi Dynasty.

Because in their view, there was no reason for the Emperor of Qi to personally come to the front lines, nor for him to possess such brilliant military talent.

But now, having witnessed the Emperor of Qi donning his armor and taking to the battlefield, demonstrating a terrifying combat power that made him equal to a thousand men, the Jin finally had to believe it.

The fear that had accumulated from consecutive setbacks over the past few days hit all the Jin soldiers like a hammer blow.

With morale shifting so dramatically, how could the Qi Army not fight to the death?

After all, the Emperor was here!

Liu Fa was not to be outdone, his body nearly turning into a porcupine from the Jin arrows, but clad in heavy armor, he remained mostly unharmed and was still desperately charging forward.

If his horse was killed, he would simply seize another.

In short, these elite soldiers of the Western Army were rushing recklessly forward, caring little for how many enemies still lay ahead!

This surge was not only due to the Emperor leading them personally, and not just the increase in fighting spirit brought on by clear rewards and punishments, but more importantly, it was because they were martial men of the Qi Dynasty, desperate for a breath of relief.

Oppressed by the Emperor, stifled by civil officials, slaughtered by the Jin ...

And now, they wanted to throw off the three mountains weighing upon them, to take their revenge on the Jin under the leadership of this new Emperor!

"Wanyan Xian! Your life is forfeit!"

Liu Fa roared as he spurred his horse forward, brandishing his spear straight at Wanyan Xian.

At his side, his personal guards also fought desperately to push forward, squeezing their way into the Jin ranks.

Spears and curved sabers came slashing in, but Liu Fa merely used his spear to fend off the most threatening attacks, then continued to charge forward relentlessly, thrusting his spear at Wanyan Xian!

Wanyan Xian parried Liu Fa’s spear with his own and shouted loudly, "Surround him! Kill him!"

In fact, as a general of the Jin, Wanyan Xian’s spearmanship and horsemanship were very strong. Under other circumstances, he might have gone forward to face Liu Fa in a fair duel, aiming to defeat him.

But now, he was intimidated.

The imbalance of morale between the two sides and the doubt in Wanyan Xian’s heart made him unwilling to take the risk. A single slip could lead to an instant collapse of his forces, so he dared not gamble.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a disturbance at his flank.

When he barely managed to deflect Liu Fa’s spear and turned his head to look, he was only met with a gleam of golden armor shining in the sunlight, nearly blinding him.

Then, a long spear thrust unexpectedly, piercing through the gaps in the armor at his ribs!

The powerful impact transmitted through the spear tip, knocking him off his horse!

Fan Cun bellowed, "Charge in! Leave none of the Jin in one piece!"

...

Even the most ordinary footsoldiers in the Western Army had blood in their eyes.

After Wanyan Xian, the commander of the Jin’s rear guard, was unhorsed by the Emperor, the soldiers’ morale soared to an unparalleled height.

The Jin troops responsible for covering the retreat could no longer hold out.

Amidst the chaos, defeat, and slaughter, the Western Army’s vanguard broke into Moutuo Ridge.

A lowly footsoldier glanced down and noticed several slashes and deformations where his armor had been hacked and split, with traces of blood seeping through.

Yet he felt no pain at all; instead, his hand clutching the knife was engorged, filled with a slightly numb, swollen excitement.

The tip of his blade continued to drip with blood.

In this battle alone, he had killed more Jin than in his entire life!

"Is this the Jin camp?

"Is this where the Jin hoarded the gold, silver, treasures, and women they plundered from the capital city?"

The Jin camp stretched out across Moutuo Ridge.

This was the first time the soldiers of the Qi Dynasty had entered the interior of a Jin camp.

In the past, they hadn’t even been entitled to look at it from a distance.

But while traversing the Jin camp, the footsoldier suddenly caught sight of something.

Something that made him momentarily forget about the Jin soldiers, something he couldn’t take his eyes off of.

Several large chests had been piled to one side, with their lids open and their contents scattered all over the ground.

Clearly, these were items the Jin had not had the time to take away.

Among them were plenty of gold, silver, jewels, and paintings—it was quite clear that compared to the military rations and even more valuable goods that had to be taken, these were the parts forced to be abandoned.

The small soldier’s eyes reddened slightly.

He knew that grabbing just a handful from here was enough to cover his military pay for over a decade.

He stepped quickly toward the chests, wanting to rummage through them.

But just then, a long spear swept in from the side, striking heavily against his body!
