Book 8 Chapter 44 Stalemate (TEASER)
While the armies of the Yan Clan and the Xiahou Clan had no solution, suddenly—
“Enemy attack!”
“Enemy attack!”
An ear-piercing yell sounded from the west. The Yan Clan army’s morale had reached a low due to their inability to seize control of the Northern Short Mountain. When they heard the shouts of “enemy attack,” they were overwhelmed and each of them firmly gripped the weapons in their hands. They awaited order and prepared for a counterattack. At the same time, battle had already begun between the western troops and the enemy.
As of now, the Yan Clan could no longer bother with attacking the Northern Short Mountain.Yan Baishou, Xiaohou An, and the Steel Sword Martial Saint all gazed westward as a soldier carrying a small flag hurried over.
“Who are the attackers?” Yah Baishou’s expression changed only slightly as he queried the soldier.
“Reporting to Patriarch: It is the army of Duan Clan.” The reporting soldier hastened to add, “The Second General currently has the right flank of the army defending against the Duan Clan’s attacks.”
Yan Baishou responded with a nod.
“Let’s go.” The Steel Sword Martial Saint said in a low voice, “Let’s check on the front ranks.”
Immediately, the Steel Sword Martial Saint, Yan Baishou, and Xiahou An speeded towards the right flank. As they approached the vanguard, they could hear the sounds of clashes coming from the front. After a short while, when Yan Baishou and the others arrived in the midst of the army’s right flank, they could only hear mournful cries. “Run! Quick flee!”
Their banner had fallen and the troops were running about like headless chickens. Facing the attacks of the the Dian Clan’s elite troops had driven the army hysteric, causing their utter defeat.
