Seeing the actions of the Xia Army, Li Xuanling was not only surprised but even had a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Of course, none of this affected her swordplay.
At the critical moment, from the rear of the Xia Army, suddenly flew out a massive figure three meters tall. A giant sword abruptly blocked the front, intercepting Li Xuanling’s sword.
It intercepted only for a moment.
The right arm blade of the three-meter-high Sword Puppet was directly severed.
"Sword Puppet, Xia Chuan!"
Looking at the golden puppet that suddenly appeared before her, Li Xuanling showed no surprise on her face. The soldiers who fled back from the battle at Changbai Gully had already told her about Xia Chuan’s Sword Puppet.
Xia Chuan stood behind the Sword Puppet, his expression extremely heavy, seeing the right arm blade of the Sword Puppet severed with just one sword. Li Xuanling’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
But still, he did not hesitate. His hands moved swiftly to control the Sword Puppet to continue charging towards Li Xuanling while quickly giving orders:
"Yuan Cheng, take people to block them, Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, Zhao Bao, keep an eye on them. Don’t let the rear Longyou Army continue to advance!"
Li Xuanling’s expression tensed. While resisting the Sword Puppet, she sensed a spear thrust coming from behind and immediately turned to parry.
Chen Yingyuan had arrived!
Not only Chen Yingyuan, but Yuan Cheng, Qiu Peng, Yue Feng, and Lin Kai... over twenty Cold Resistance Level members of Great Xia all rushed out from the main building.
Seeing this, Long Mountain was unrelenting. More than fifty Cold Resistance Level members rapidly charged up from behind the Longyou Army and began attacking the Great Xia’s front line.
Under the pressure of the massive number of Cold Resistance Level, Great Xia immediately began to retreat step by step.
It wasn’t just a simple retreat. The lives of the front-line defenders were being continuously harvested by these Cold Resistance Level members of Long Mountain. The arrow formation just now took at most a few hundred lives, but as soon as these fifty-some Cold Resistance Level members charged up, the casualties instantly multiplied.
Seeing soldiers continuously fall, Xia Chuan, who was struggling in Li Xuanling’s hands, finally couldn’t bear it any longer. He shouted angrily towards the main building:
"Zhao Long, what are you waiting for? Hurry!"
Clack, clack, clack, clack...
The planks above the main building were pushed open, revealing countless strong bows, and the cold, dark arrows were aimed at the Longyou soldiers below.
"Release the arrows!"
At Zhao Long’s command, a rain of arrows shot from above the main building, descending towards the rear Longyou Army.
Li Xuanling and the fifty-two Cold Resistance Level members were indeed very strong, and they had indeed engaged the Xia Army with the front-line Longyou Army.
But because they were too strong and charged too fast, it caused a disconnect with the massive Longyou Army at the rear.
The more than three thousand soldiers led by Zhao Long had been hidden above the main building for a long time. At this moment, shooting down from above, the lethality of the arrow rain immediately became apparent.
The front-line Longyou Army had already engaged with the defenders and naturally couldn’t be targeted with bows and arrows, but the rear had no such issue.
Thud... thud... thud...
Finally, the Longyou Army at the rear began to fall in batches. Googlᴇ search novᴇlfire.net
Although the number was not very large, it was the best result Great Xia had achieved since the start of the war.
"Keep holding on, even with your lives, hold on! As long as the rear Longyou soldiers don’t come through, once we exhaust this wave at the front, we have a chance!"
Xia Chuan’s roar reinvigorated the retreating Xia soldiers, and everyone suddenly made a reckless charge back.
"Hahaha, I can take on three by myself, dying is worth it."
Although Yuan Cheng was being besieged by three Cold Resistance Level members, full of danger, he jokingly claimed he could take on three, uplifting the morale instantly.
"Brothers, don’t retreat, Long Mountain is bound to lose!"
