Chapter 2055 Why should I avoid his sharp edge?
Inside the Vermilion Bird Legion's camp.
Feng Mulan's eyes burned with intensity, as if flames were burning within them: "Since I have chosen to stay and stand guard with the soldiers, I have already disregarded life and death!"
"Today, I am here, right under this banner! I will live and die with you all, and perish with the Vermilion Bird Legion!"
"We will stand here and personally crush Wang Zhongsi's last madness, and usher in our victory!"
"We swear to live and die with Your Majesty!"
"We swear to live and die with the Vermilion Bird Legion!"
Feng Mulan's resounding, tragic, and heroic words were like the most powerful stimulant, instantly injecting the hearts of every soldier in the Vermilion Bird Legion who heard them!
All the fatigue and all the fear seemed to be dispelled at this moment!
The commander-in-chief was willing to risk his life and die with his soldiers. What trust and courage this shows!
A deafening roar erupted from the central army, and then spread like wildfire throughout the entire Vermilion Bird Legion's positions!
The previously low morale instantly soared to its peak!
The soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes once again burning with fierce fighting spirit and fearless light!
They knew that the final, and most brutal, battle was about to begin!
And they will follow their commander and fight to the last moment!
As the last rays of the setting sun were completely swallowed by the inky night, it was as if a giant black pot had been placed over the world.
However, the land on the left flank of the Tang army camp did not fall silent because of the darkness, but was instead ignited by an even more violent fire of slaughter!
"W-W-W-W-!"
The deep and desolate sound of the bull horn, like the final roar of a dying beast, suddenly rang out from the Tang army camp, piercing through the dark night!
This is the signal for a general offensive!
The main force of the Tang army, which had long been assembled, was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time.
Under the command of Wang Zhongsi, like a black tide bursting its banks, they roared and launched their most ferocious and final attack in history against the already broken but still resilient defense line of the Vermilion Bird Legion!
Without any probing or reservations, Wang Zhongsi deployed all the forces at his disposal, including his own personal guard!
"For the Tang Dynasty! Kill—!"
Wang Zhongsi took the lead, removing the ornate armor that symbolized his status as commander-in-chief and wearing only the ordinary iron armor of a general, which was more suitable for fighting.
Gripping a heavy ring-pommel sword tightly in his hand, he roared and charged at the forefront of the entire army, like a tiger driven to the brink of despair!
The fact that the commander-in-chief personally charged into battle undoubtedly instilled the most frenzied courage into the Tang soldiers who were already determined to die!
"Stop them! For His Majesty! For Her Majesty! Kill!"
The generals of the Vermilion Bird Legion roared with all their might, directing their soldiers to form a wall of flesh and blood, relying on the last remaining fortifications and the corpses of their comrades.
In an instant, the two massive armies, like two giant waves filled with deep-seated hatred, collided violently!
"boom--!"
This explosion was far louder than any previous collision!
Immediately following was a commotion as if purgatory had begun!
The ear-piercing metallic clang of weapons clashing wildly, the terrifying thud of blades slicing into flesh and bone, the desperate wails of the dying, and the hysterical, completely irrational roars and shouts of the soldiers on both sides.
All these sounds mixed together, almost tearing one's eardrums apart!
The darkness greatly amplified the brutality and chaos of the battle.
The firelight flickered in the darkness, illuminating distorted and ferocious faces. Swords flashed in the shadows, each movement potentially taking a life.
Soldiers often had to get so close they could feel the heat emanating from their opponents in order to fight using only the dim light and their senses.
Fear, madness, the instinct for survival, and the desire for victory intertwined and fermented in this darkness, turning this place into a true hell on earth!
The Tang soldiers already knew the devastating news that Zhao Yu's cavalry had broken into their central camp. They understood that if they could not quickly defeat the Vermilion Bird Legion, then what awaited them was the annihilation of their entire army and the destruction of their country and home!
This despair, in turn, aroused their most primal ferocity.
With bloodshot eyes, they charged forward like madmen, disregarding their own casualties.
He rammed his body into the Chu army's spear formation and tore at approaching enemies with his teeth, all in an effort to create an opening!
The soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion were also well aware of the critical importance of this battle.
The Empress was right behind them, fighting alongside them. General Zhao Yu was creating miracles in the enemy camp. The longer they held on, the more the scales of victory would tip in favor of the Great Chu!
With strict discipline and unwavering will, they held their ground, using spears, swords, and even their fists and teeth to fiercely resist the Tang army's desperate, tsunami-like assault.
The battle line was violently twisted and deformed, breached in many places, and quickly blocked by the reserve team fighting desperately.
The bodies of soldiers from both sides were piling up at an alarming rate, their blood staining every inch of the ground beneath their feet.
Wang Zhongsi brandished his longsword with the ferocity of a mad tiger. His martial arts were already highly skilled, and now he disregarded life and death, his swordsmanship ruthless and fierce, each strike containing the power to shatter mountains and rivers.
Wherever he went, the soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion fell to the ground, as he actually managed to carve a bloody path through their dense formation!
The elite Tang troops behind him followed closely, driving in like wedges.
"Wang Zhongsi is there! Stop him!"
The Chu general shouted anxiously, and several fierce soldiers charged forward with their spears, only to be cut down by Wang Zhongsi as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!
At this critical moment, a clear and melodious cry, like the cry of a phoenix, suddenly rang out from the direction of the Vermilion Bird Legion's central army!
"Wang Zhongsi! Stop your arrogance!"
A figure flashed by like a startled swan; it was none other than Imperial Noble Consort Feng Mulan!
She had left her command post at some point and personally stepped into the front line of the bloody battlefield!
What she held in her hand was no longer a command flag, but a heavy, unsharpened black iron sword with an ancient design!
Beside her slender waist, the light willow-leaf sword, gleaming with a bluish light, was already half an inch out of its sheath, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Feng Mulan's appearance was like throwing a piece of ice into a boiling pot of oil, or lighting the brightest torch in the darkness!
"Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty!"
"Her Majesty personally led the attack on the enemy!"
The soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion were shocked to see their commander-in-chief personally come to the most dangerous front line and face the enemy commander directly.
The morale, which had been slightly shaken by the heavy casualties, was instantly injected with a violent force and soared to its peak!
It let out an even more frenzied roar and retaliated even more fiercely!
When Wang Zhongsi saw that Feng Mulan had actually taken to the battle herself, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into an even more intense killing intent!
