The cold and heat were mixed into one, as the sharp arrow broke through the steel shield protecting it. A sweet liquid started filling his throat, General Huaihuang tried hard to swallow the liquid back but every time there was a mouthful he managed to swallow, an amount that was many times more surged from his stomach, and the amount of it surged from his stomach, forcing General Huaihuang to spit it out.
"urr!"
The spirit surge that radiated on General Huaihuang's face was slightly covered by the pale hue that started to appear.
Liu Qing swung his sword many times, slashing down at any enemy soldier who was blocking his steps. After three breaths passed, Liu Qing managed to arrive at where General Huaihuang was.
"General!"
Liu Qing frantically charged General Huaihuang to cover from the battlefield, each step followed by drops of blood from the back of General Huaihuang as well as splashes of the blood of the opposing soldiers.
General Huaihuang stopped his steps and looked at Liu Qing with a glare. Liu Qing also looked at him questioningly, General Huaihuang took a deep breath before explaining everything.
"We can't go back, Qing. Opposing soldiers are too many, Ji Fengs forces cannot survive without our presence."
Liu Qing shook his head softly, his eyes staring inside General Huaihuang. "I'll have some soldiers take you to the barracks. Don't worry, I can handle it."
General Huaihuang shook his head violently, his hand rejecting the hand of Liu Qing who was wiping it. Although he was wounded, General Huaihuang was still General Huaihuang. His abilities cannot be underestimated.
when Liu Qing tried to grab General Huaihuang again, General Huaihuang looked at him intently, "Don't think he can get me off the battlefield!"
General Huaihuang revealed his determination from the light of his burning eyes. He had already faced hundreds of battles, several defeats and hundreds of wins. If today he must die, then he must not die without a fight.
The wound on his back was hot and he felt flames as if running down his back. These are signs of poison. If he leaves now, then he never gets a chance to come back and win.
The iron spear in the hands of general Huaihuang who had been red by the blood of the enemy never tired to attack ferociously.
Liu Qing who saw the ferocity of his General, returned excited. Unknowingly Liu Qing continued to fight near General Huaihuang, making General Huaihuang feel suspicious. "Why are you always here? Go and help others!"
"I'm guarding my general. Besides I'm also guarding this country from these scum."
Right now, General Huaihuang was standing right in front of the collapsed wall. In other words, General Huaihuang used himself to hinder the enemy soldiers who wanted to break through. Liu Qing who fought near General Huaihuang certainly made a great contribution.
Liu Qing did not hesitate to slit his opponent's neck until it was almost broken, his iron armor was red with blood, both blood from him and the enemy soldiers who died in his hands. Two small hills created from the piles of bodies of soldiers both from Song and Yin closed the gap of the collapsed wall.
Upon seeing the large number of dead soldiers at the hands of General Huaihuang and Liu Qing, the frontline soldiers of the Northern Song army began to hesitate to approach.
General Huaihuang stood firmly among the pile of corpses, staring intently at the terrified northern Song warrior.
General Huaihuang stared at his soldiers, almost half of whom were injured, who were killed also not a little, making General Huaihuang's heart ache.
General Huaihuang's rough face was covered with the opponent's blood, leaving many people unaware that the middle-aged man was extremely pale. Although he stood firm and looked unshakable like a mountain, but at the same time Liu Qing realized that his General was trying to keep looking strong.
As Liu Qing was being overwhelmed by confusion as to what he was about to do next, the galloping of horse footsteps followed by the soaring dust was visible from the east of the battleground. The banners of the Qin army were seen fluttering there, making Liu Qing unable to help her smile.
"Why could Qin's army be so fast? besides, why can it be so many?" general Song North. The war strategist on his part had already confirmed that the quickest help would come in three days, but why did the aid come so quickly? In fact, the number is much larger than the initial prediction.
Having no other choice, the northern Song generals immediately withdrew the army and ordered it to retreat.
The cavalry that had emerged from the eastern region immediately entered the battleground and cleared the remaining troops who had fled too late.
General Chen and twin Chen swords led the reinforcements. After there were no more song warriors left, General Chen and his two children approached Liu Qing.
"General Chen," Liu Qing said, bowing respectfully.
General Chen only nodded slowly, his gaze locked on General Huaihuang who was still standing on the hill of corpses even though the war had ended.
As General Chen approached General Huaihuang and patted him on the shoulder, General Huaihuang fell down but General Chen swiftly caught him. The arrow that was still stuck on the back of General Huaihuang immediately he pulled out.
"Ohuk!"
"Chen gege .. thank you," said General Huaihuang who was in General Chen's arms.
"Xiao Xu .. open your eyes!" shouted General Chen. His hand did not stop patting the bloodied Cheek of General Huaihuang while his mouth continued to shout the name of General Huaihuang-Xu Hao.
"Thank you .. Thank you for coming. I am the son of Ji Feng's army. Sacrificing lives for the sake of the country is a worthy thing."
"What did you say?!"
General Chen shook his head loudly, "You're easier than me, you got more from me, you also have to live longer than me!" general Chen shouted in a trembling voice. His command that he had been guarding all this time, disappeared when faced with a situation like this.
"ge ... Wang Gege is lonely in the afterlife. No one was brave enough to accompany him in the afterlife. Don't .. don't worry, I'll give your regards to Wang gege even if you don't.. don't say it."
General Huaihuang breathed his last on General Chen's lap. General Chen sobbed until his body trembled. Liu Qing who saw this, collapsed, never expected that the General he had admired would leave so soon. All of Ji Feng's soldiers kneeled to the body of General Huaihuang, while Private Qin marched on his horse, paying his last respects by bowing his head.
Today the warrior Ji Feng won the battle and managed to preserve the sovereignty of the great Yin country, but this victory felt empty as they paid for it with the life of their general.
General Huaihuang was one of the generals who had noble blood on his body, his uncle was the current prime minister-Xu Shan Shui. General Huaihuang's body will be taken to the capital, where the Xu family's tomb is located.
A week after the death of General Huaihuang, Emperor Yin read a letter that made him cry.
We could not protect our Great General causing this misfortune to happen.
Liu Qing - Field commander Ji Feng's.
Emperor Yin closed the letter and looked at his prime minister with a grim look. "When did General Huaihuang's body arrive at the capital?"
The Prime Minister bowed his body, "Slowly seven days, Your Majesty."
