Exiled to the Frontier, He Became the Empire’s Most Powerful Lord - Chapter 12

At this moment, Ling Wuyai frowned when he saw the large vehicles forming a circle, their defenses resembling tanks!

In particular, the large shields that appeared in the gaps between the carts obscured everything in the center of the circle, making it difficult for him to see what was inside.

“Swish swish!”

The archers began to fire, a hail of arrows raining down, but none could break through the defenses.

“Attack with all your might!”

Ling Wuyai gave the order, and the soldiers began a frenzied charge!

Once you get close to the defensive perimeter and kill the shield bearers inside, you can break through quickly.

“kill!”

The three hundred men of the Wind Battalion quickly approached the shield bearers of the Mountain Battalion!

He stood with his sword drawn!

Each shield bearer was accompanied by a spearman wielding a spear that was several feet long, giving them an astonishing attack range.

“prick!”

The shield bearers held their shields with both hands, their eyes narrowed as they kept a close watch on the gaps in the shields, ready to give orders as soon as any enemy soldiers approached.

“Swish swish!”

The spear made a whistling sound as it pierced the air, and in an instant, one could hear the wonderful sensation of it penetrating flesh.

This is the most beautiful sound on the battlefield.

“How is this possible? Where did such an elite army come from!”

Ling Wuyai discovered that over a hundred soldiers had died in the first wave of attacks, yet they still couldn’t break through the defensive line.

Those spears that pierced through the gaps in the large shields were definitely the work of someone who had reached the highest level of martial arts!

Although they were not high-level martial artists, they were simply no match for ordinary soldiers.

“Fortunately, the general is coming soon. When we surround them with our forces, their tortoise-like defensive formation will be doomed!”

Ling Wuyai sneered and ordered his soldiers to surround the enemy without attacking.

He was only one step away from the third rank. In fact, if he led the charge now, he could break through the defensive formation at all costs!

But he always valued his life, so how could he possibly fight so desperately on the battlefield?

“Hmm? Ling Wuyai has surrounded the Barbarian King and his party!”

Chang Aofeng and his army had already spotted it from afar.

“All troops, charge! Kill the Barbarian King at all costs! Whoever kills the Barbarian King will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted three ranks!”

Chang Aofeng finally gave the order.

Meanwhile, the Northern cavalry, who had been following closely behind, also gave the order to charge!

“kill!”

The peaceful wasteland was suddenly filled with the deafening sounds of battle!

The sound of thousands of soldiers running made the earth tremble.

They were only a hundred meters away from Zhou Lingfeng’s defensive convoy when an even more astonishing tremor came—the sound of horses’ hooves pounding the earth.

“General, behind us…”

A general glanced at the scene and immediately shouted in a trembling voice.

“Damn it! Where did these cavalry come from? There are almost two thousand of them!”

Chang Aofeng turned around and his face immediately turned ashen.

The power of a cavalry charge is unmatched!

At this point, the only hope is to rely on speed and kill the Barbarian King with all our might!

Without hesitation, Chang Aofeng ordered a thousand soldiers to stay behind and hold off the cavalry!

He, on the other hand, took the lead and charged ahead.

Several rank 4 beginner martial artists followed closely behind Chang Aofeng. They all understood that although it was only a hundred meters, the cavalry were faster and could quickly break through the blocking soldiers.

“To catch the thief, first catch the king; I’ll kill the barbarian king before I escape!”

Chang Aofeng said through gritted teeth.

Hong Jiuming’s figure was also running, constantly cutting afterimages in the air, pushing his speed to the limit.

Upon seeing Chang Aofeng’s actions, he knew that the other party intended to behead the Barbarian King!

“Damn it! The barbarian king even has cavalry!”

Ling Wuyai also witnessed this scene and immediately gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

His soldiers also began to charge frantically at this moment. In a life-or-death struggle, any hesitation would mean certain death.

“Brothers, it’s time for us to make our move!”

The Fire Battalion, having endured this long, finally jumped out of their underground bunkers and unleashed a furious barrage of arrows!

They were only tens of meters away from Ling Wuyai’s soldiers; they could take lives even if they fired blindfolded.

“Hiss? When did we get ambushed here, and with archers at that!”

Upon seeing this, Ling Wuyai disregarded everything else and leaped into the air, attempting to rush into the defensive perimeter.

“Kill the Barbarian King!”

Ling Wuyai roared, and several martial artists around him followed closely behind!

“Protect the prince!”

Yang Wufeng’s expression changed slightly at this moment. He did not expect that the other side would have a martial artist close to the third rank in the army!

A hundred bodyguards surrounded Zhou Lingfeng, each with a look of determination to fight to the death on their faces.

As long as Zhou Lingfeng lives, their good days will be endless!

If Zhou Lingfeng dies, they will have no choice but to flee for their lives!

As a guard of a vassal king, if you fail to protect him properly, you will be executed along with him!

Even if it means living a life on the run, constantly hiding and running, it’s better to die a quick and satisfying death in battle.

Moreover, Zhou Lingfeng is generous and worth the brothers’ willingness to risk their lives for him!

He’s much better than those generals who just make empty promises all day long.

“Everyone, don’t be nervous, relax!”

Zhou Lingfeng smiled slightly. He felt that even a third-grade grandmaster might not be able to kill him easily.

Meanwhile, the guards saw that the coachmen, who had been lying on the ground dozing off, had somehow drawn their weapons and started to assemble.

“Your Highness, this is…”

A glint of joy flashed in Yang Wufeng’s eyes. He hadn’t expected that there would be such a hidden martial artist by Zhou Lingfeng’s side.

“Bang bang bang!”

Ling Wuyai and Chang Aofeng charged into the formation from both sides. Several shield bearers and spearmen were swept away by the powerful true energy and fell to the ground, their fates unknown.

“Barbarian King, prepare to die!”

Chang Aofeng’s eyes were filled with madness!

Today, his five thousand soldiers are finished. If Emperor Yuanwu finds out, he will surely die!

But if Zhou Lingfeng can be killed, the Left Prime Minister can definitely save his life!

That damned Tie Xuan actually left two thousand iron cavalry for the barbarian king.

A third-grade grandmaster and a fourth-grade peak warrior attacked from both sides, along with several fourth-grade initial-stage martial artists behind them.

Its momentum was like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.

“Your Highness!”

Mo Li and Qiu Tian, ​​who were standing to the side, were terrified and clutched Zhou Lingfeng’s clothes tightly with both hands.

“It’s fine!”

Zhou Lingfeng smiled slightly. Many of these 108 assassins were rank 4 martial artists, and they had also practiced combined attack formations!

Although a group of eight people cannot defeat a third-grade grandmaster, they can still manage to hold out for a while.

Once Hong Jiuming arrives, everything will be resolved!

Moreover, his biggest trump card is himself, but he just doesn’t want to reveal it yet.

“Clang!”

Chang Aofeng and Ling Wuyai were both entangled by several martial artists. Upon closer inspection, they realized that these people were all dressed as coachmen in coarse cloth clothes.

However, most of them actually possessed the strength of the initial stage of the fourth rank, and several of them joined forces to entangle them!

“Damn it, how come this Barbarian King has so many fourth-rank martial artists under his command! Wasn’t he imprisoned in Xian’an Palace for three years? How does he have such abilities?”

Chang Aofeng was utterly shocked.

“Go all out and surround and kill the enemy ahead!”

Seeing this, Yang Wufeng felt reassured and ordered the three battalions of soldiers to encircle and annihilate the enemy.

At this point, the morale of the Jincheng soldiers had collapsed, and many of them even fled the battlefield, hoping to save their lives!

The soldiers pursued by the Northern cavalry were not so lucky; many were turned into a bloody pulp under their iron hooves.

“I surrender!”

With the first soldier dropping his weapon and kneeling to beg for mercy, the entire battlefield situation was completely settled!

General Lu glanced at Zhou Lingfeng, who was being firmly protected by his personal guards, and instead of rushing over to pay his respects, he began to clean up the battlefield.

“It’s over!”

Chang Aofeng and Ling Wuyai exchanged a glance, realizing in their hearts that they had suffered a crushing defeat today!

This barbarian king is truly remarkable; he is by no means the useless person he was portrayed to be.

“Walk!”

Chang Aofeng and Ling Wuyai exchanged a glance, then joined forces to force back the assassins who were attacking them.

Killing the barbarian king is now a pipe dream; their only thought is to escape!

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

“If you want to leave, then stay here!”

Suddenly, a young eunuch in blue appeared, gave a sinister smile, and then took on two opponents at once, entangled with them.

“Damn it! This little eunuch’s combat strength is so formidable, he’s probably already at the high-level of the third rank!”

Once you reach the third rank or higher, the difference between each minor realm is extremely terrifying.

Even five or six early-stage third-rank cultivators might not be a match for a high-stage third-rank cultivator.

Despair gripped the two, and with the assassins surrounding them, Hong Jiuming quickly broke through their protective aura and punched them in the abdomen.

“Your Highness, what should we do with these two people?”

Hong Jiuming sealed Chang Aofeng and Ling Wuyai’s true essence and threw it in front of Zhou Lingfeng.

“Kill them!”

Zhou Lingfeng said calmly.

These two people are clearly not going to be of any use to me. If I let them go, they might cause trouble in the future!

As for the idea of ​​displaying his domineering aura and heroic spirit to make them bow down in worship, Zhou Lingfeng naturally wouldn’t have that thought.

Even if we defeat Chang Aofeng’s 5,000-strong army today, everyone will still think it was a backup plan laid out by Tie Xuan.

For a very long time, no one will pay attention to the Little Barbarian King on their side!

Of course, this is also the result he wanted.

After all, he is still very weak. Although Tie Xuan possesses the strongest and invincible Northern Army in the world, he is burdened with the feelings of his family and country and can only desperately resist the Turks.

Chang Aofeng and Ling Wuyai were shocked, not expecting Zhou Lingfeng to kill them without saying a word.

Ling Wuyai cried out in terror, “Your Highness, I am willing to surrender!”

With his current strength, given a little more time, he will definitely be able to break through to the third rank, which is already considered an extremely rare martial arts genius.

However, Zhou Lingfeng didn’t even glance at it and directly ordered Hong Jiuming to drag him away and finish the job.

If this person were more assertive and had some martial arts spirit, Zhou Lingfeng might have thought more highly of him!

Such a spineless coward, surrendering to me today, who knows who he’ll side with in the future.
