Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 899: Crossing the River

Leading the soldiers, General Chi was staying at the very forefront. He carried a large shield along with a sword while his eyes were staring forward.     

Last night, Old Master Nan had told him about the plan.     

He had to admit that when he first heard it, he thought that Old Master Nan was crazy to ask him crossing the river from this area.     

"I need you to cross the river first."     

"Cross the river?" General Chi had asked in bewildered expression. They were far away from the shallow and narrow area where it was more likeable for them to cross. How could it be possible for them to cross the river in this place?     

"Yes, this place might be a bit wide, but the river is pretty shallow. The depth is at most at your chest." Old Master Nan pointed at the river. "With the bend and battle at the north area ongoing, the water current shouldn't be that high, so it's possible for you to cross the river."     

General Chi was silent for a moment. He did think that this was a good chance for him to prove his capabilities by crossing the river first. But at the same time, he was worried that there would be something wrong during the crossing that would cause him to lose his soldiers.     

It was not a joke to cross the river at such high current.     

However, he also knew that Old Master Nan was not the type of person who would joke around about human's lives.     

At the very least, compared to some others who used to dominate the battlefield, Old Master Nan was considered to be quite humane. He didn't like to cause casualties more than necessary.     

"Alright, I'll do it."     

"Good. Chi Song Lian will also follow you after you had crossed the river along with several other commanders. You need to be able to gain foothold in that area because we're going to charge and conquer the nearest city."     

General Chi nodded.     

Splash!     

And at the present, General Chi was only halfway cross the river with his soldiers when he saw the group of Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers at the other banks. The enemy had noticed their movement before they had arrived.     

"Prepare your shield!"     

"YES!"     

General Chi was holding the shield at the very front as his eyes were staring at the group of Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers in front of him.     

His stance looked as if he was saying, come forward if you dare.     

At the same time, he continued to walk forward in the river. Just like what Old Master Nan said, the river was relatively shallow and their heavy armor allowed them to have more weight.     

This allowed them go against the current.     

However, it wouldn't be so easy when they were under the arrows from the soldiers of Wei Da Kingdom.     

"Charge!"     

Swish! Swish! Dong! Dong!     

The arrows were flying towards them as General Chi held his shield at the front and continued to charge forward. No matter what, he would prove himself that he was worthy to become one of the generals in Fei Yang Kingdom.         

He will fulfill his mission!     

"Aaaa!"     

The occasionally shout from behind him continued to cause General Chi to feel turmoil in his heart. He knew that some of his unfortunate soldiers were killed because of the arrows from the other party.     

But there was nothing that he could do.     

All he could do was for them to continue charging forward and reached the other banks as fast as possible before Wei Da Kingdom could gather more soldiers.     

"Faster! We're almost here!"     

As General Chi noticed that the water only reached his thighs, he knew that he was close. The Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers who focused on melee had formed a line in front of him.     

General Chi snorted.     

Despite the water wearing him down, he suddenly sped up and used his shield to bash against the Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers.     

BANG!     

Several soldiers were sent flying as the path opened.     

The soldiers from Wei Da Kingdom was stunned, but General Chi didn't let them catch their breath as he swung his sword and began to kill the solders around him. He was on the ground, so the best weapon for him would be a sword.     

He was proficient in several weapons and usually used them in accordance to his position and terrain.     

Now that he was on the ground, he naturally chose to fight with swords.     

Slash! Slash! Slash!     

Splash!      

"UOooooooooooooo!"     

The soldiers behind General Chi was not slow as they also charged forward the moment they realized that the water reached either their thighs or their knee. Some of them could charge fast while the others could only charge slowly.     

Bang!     

The two soldiers crashed against each other.     

The archers could no longer shoot properly as they targeted those at the back in order to avoid hitting their own comrade. Even though they were all nervous, they tried to stay calm and continued their duty.     

Unfortunately, Fei Yang Kingdom was sometimes called barbarians not for nothing.     

Bang!     

General Chi directly caused several soldiers to be flung away. His strength alone was far lesser compared to a few other generals, but it was still considered quite a lot. After staying in Fei Yang Kingdom, he had adapted to their culture and trained his strength like crazy.     

If he didn't the other generals could crush him easily.         

"Retreat!!"     

"General Chi is here!"     

"Ret…GAH!"     

Slash! Slash! Slash!     

General Chi started to continue attacking and turned to look into the distance. He knew that River General Kui must be watching from somewhere, but he was not afraid in the slightest bit.     

Even if River General Kui was watching, he would make sure that he could destroy the other party. River General Kui was just an old general who used to be famous at the battlefield.     

His glorious time would soon be over.     

He snorted and waved his hand. "Let's go and kill them all!"     

"UOOOOOOOOOOO!"
