Chapter 901: Battle on the River

Splash! Clang! Clang! Slash!         

    

"ONWARD!"     

General Long's voice boomed on the battlefield, ordering the soldiers to continue moving forward. The soldiers had long followed their general and were all fearless as they charged forward.     

Again and again.     

More and more soldiers fell as the water dyed red in blood.     

Countless bodies were brought by the stream towards the downstream. No one had any time to care for them as they were too busy fighting against the opponent in front of them.     

All that they knew was that if they were not careful enough, they would die.     

That was why they had to continue charge forward.     

Clang! Clang! Splash!     

Slash!     

At the other side of the river, the leading general was General Hou. He was stationed at the river and received order from River General Kui to handle the battle against Fei Yang Kingdom at this river.     

But looking at General Long marching forward with his soldiers… it would be a lie to say that he was not shaken.     

He was not really a general who fought a lot at the frontline because he spent most of his time in the city. His task was mostly to protect the city from the bandits and the invaders and because of his influence, he managed to reach the rank of a general quickly.     

Now that he had to face such a valiant general, General Hou was troubled.

"Send more soldiers." General Hou frowned. "Don't let him cross the river!"     

"Yes, General!"     

There were not many soldiers in this area that could be gathered within such a short period of time. Not to mention, Wei Da Kingdom also had some clashes at the north, which meant that they couldn't get any reinforcement from there.     

Additionally, Zhang Xu Kingdom was also making things a bit difficult at the border.     

Just how could they survive this?     

"Keep sending more!"     

General Hou was frustrated.     

Why did he ask for a post in this area? If he knew that Fei Yang Kingdom would attack Wei Da Kingdom so soon, he would have asked to be transferred to another region altogether so that he didn't have to be the leading general.     

"Where's General Nan? He should be here and helped!"     

"General Nan sent a message not long ago saying that he'll come."     

"Useless!"     

General Hou was really annoyed and frustrated.         

    

General Nan mentioned here was not Old Master Nan and his immediate family. General Nan was a famous general in Wei Da Kingdom and did participate in the joint war before. However, he was part of the backup and not allowed to participate in the main battle as he didn't manage to bring all of his soldiers.     

Half of them were staying behind because they had to protect the city he was designated to guard.     

It was also because of this that River General Kui asked him to be the backup and to help the other soldiers during that joint war. As a result, he also escaped the fate of having to clash directly with those famous generals from Fei Yang Kingdom.     

Clang! Clang! Clang!     

As the sound of battles were getting nearer, General Hou was getting even more nervous. He quickly ordered more soldiers to form formation around him to protect the river banks.     

There was no way he would say to the soldiers to protect him.     

Even though he was so nervous that he felt his legs were weak, he still kept on ordering the soldiers.     

He was not that good at close combat battle.     

Added with his age, he was rather an ordinary general.     

"Hurry!"     

"Yes, General!"     

The soldiers had no other choice but to follow whatever General Hou was ordering them to do.     

Even if they had any question… they had to bury it in their heart.     

While General Long led the soldiers to clash against Wei Da Kingdom soldiers on the river and General Hou was busy ordering the soldiers, Long Qian Xing stayed at the back.     

"They're persistent in the battle." Long Qian Xing thought that they would be able to cross the river after getting the city easily yesterday, but it didn't seem to be the case.     

Wei Da Kingdom was not that strong when it came to city defense.     

But their soldiers were more adept at fighting on the water. He could see that his father was not used with the water while they fought. Yet, they still fought bravely and marched forward.

No matter what the terrain would be, there was no turning back.     

They had to charge forward for victory.     

Long Qian Xing and half of his soldiers were staying at the river banks, watching the battle unfolded in front of him while giving some orders here and there. The soldiers were also not idle as they were maintaining the formation that Long Qian Xing had ordered for them to do from the very beginning.     

They were all waiting.     

Waiting for the right time to join the fray.     

"Young Commander Long, the things you took from the city before are all here."     

"Ah, set them aside for now. The ships hadn't arrived yet."     

Looking towards the upstream, Long Qian Xing could see that the ships were only closing in. The corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk. Now, he could finally test something that he had longed to test from a long time ago.         

    

He watched as the ships were getting closer but they still kept their distances.     

General Long would be in trouble if those ships also attacked with arrows from a distance. After all, they were too far to reach with swords and it was not easy to reach it with arrows when their location was higher than theirs.     

However, Long Qian Xing didn't really worry that much.     

He had already planned for his soldiers to make their moves from the moment the ships were caught on sight.     

"Send signal to Long Xu and Lou."     

"Yes!"     

The two adjutant had been waiting for him to give them order. Now that the ships had come, it was time for his turn.
