He felt the tension in Xia Yuhan's heart up close. Her outward calmness and composure were evident. He enjoyed every moment spent with her.
He never expected that he, Cang Yile, would be so protected by a woman. And he felt incredibly happy about it.
They were getting closer. Closer. The group of assassins was about to strike.
Xia Yuhan's grip on Cang Yile's arm tightened more and more. She was completely unaware of this.
"Yu Han. Don't worry. I’ve got this."
Cang Yile whispered softly in Xia Yuhan's ear. At that moment, he felt an immense sense of honor and happiness. After all, he had shared a life-and-death experience with her.
Hearing Cang Yile's gentle reassurance, Xia Yuhan relaxed a bit. But this was not the time for idle chatter.
A great battle was imminent, and there could be no mistakes.
At that moment, Xia Yuhan suddenly furrowed her brows and shouted, "Maintain formation and break out to the southeast!"
"Yes. Charge!"
With Xia Yuhan's command, they quickly rushed toward the enemy camp in the southeast direction.
The enemy camp had support from all directions, with an equal number of assassins at each position. However, the southeast direction was an exception; there were twice as many assassins there compared to the other directions.
Nevertheless, from their movements, it was clear that their side was weaker than the assassins in other positions. Although they had a large number of people, compared to the skilled fighters, they were merely a disorganized mob. Breaking through was relatively smooth.
At this moment...
As the two factions were about to collide, Xia Yuhan hesitated to give the order to attack. Fortunately, Jiang Tingyu's guards were well-trained and obedient. Otherwise, even with Xia Yuhan's excellent formation, success would be difficult.
"Listen to my command. Slow down. Flying Eagle, soar into the enemy ranks and try to take down as many horses as possible before returning using Lightness Technique."
"Understood." With the order given, two figures leaped into the air. The attention of the enemy camp was instantly drawn to the two guards who could use Lightness Technique.
At this moment, Xia Yuhan seized the opportunity to raise her right hand holding a Hidden Weapon and released dozens of Silver Needles in quick succession, instantly killing several assassins on the spot.
"Prince, keep an eye on my flanks. Cover me."
"Okay." Cang Yile finally had his chance to shine and wasted no time in eliminating a dozen assassins on Xia Yuhan's flanks.
The two guards who could use Lightness Technique took advantage of the distraction in the enemy camp. They swiftly drew their short blades and struck at the legs of several horses. In an instant, chaos ensued as horses reared up and threw their riders off. The assassins in the southeastern direction became disorganized due to the out-of-control horses.
After completing this series of actions, the two guards returned to their formation using Lightness Technique with lightning speed.
"Hurry. Their forces are about to regroup. Listen to my command. Number One, abandon your horse and leap onto Number Two's horse. And Number One must hold tightly onto the reins."
"Understood." With that command, everyone followed suit without hesitation. Although it would take a long time to break through the encirclement, under Xia Yuhan's leadership, they easily dealt with forty or fifty enemies. At this moment, they all had confidence in Xia Yuhan.
"Remember to maintain the formation from southeast to northwest."
If just moments ago it was a clash between two forces, now it was a demonstration of Xia Yuhan's faction breaking through the enemy lines.
Indeed, she intended to take advantage of the chaos and break through the southeastern corner before the assassins from the other three directions arrived.
"Relay my command. Number One, stab the horse with your dagger and make it go wild towards the enemy. Go!"
Four guards skilled in close combat immediately released the rampaging Horses after receiving the order...
"Before they assassinate you with the Horses, more and faster chapters can be found. Team Two, move out. Team One, provide cover. Teams One and Two, cooperate with each other."
"Understood." After releasing the four rampaging Horses, the crowd saw many enemy assassins retreating without a fight. In an instant, countless casualties occurred.
Fearing the rampaging Horses, they all dodged, naturally opening a bloody path for them.
"Charge!" Xia Yuhan seized the moment and shouted the command.
"Everyone, listen up. Reinforcements are pursuing from behind. We need to accelerate our breakout. We'll soon be able to escape. Team Two will remain the main force, while Team One will flank Team Two. Lastly, we must prevent enemy ambushes. Teams One and Two, back to back. Move quickly."
At that moment, it felt as if the entire world had quieted down. The only sounds were Xia Yuhan's heart-wrenching shouts and their cheers as they swiftly cut down enemies.
Long-range attacks with spears and close-range attacks with daggers complemented each other perfectly, resulting in countless kills and alleviating their previous concerns.
The long-range fighters focused solely on their attacks while those engaged in close combat dealt with the assassins approaching them, providing timely protection for their blood-soaked comrades.
At this moment, Xia Yuhan suddenly turned around on horseback, his entire soft body falling into Cang Yile's embrace, which brought her a sense of relief.
However, just as he was blissfully happy a moment ago, he was about to be infuriated.
Because this woman didn’t see him as a man at all; in her eyes, there was only the battlefield.
"Your Highness," she said. "I will attack from behind while you attack from the front. We must break through."
Completely oblivious to his feelings, she leaned into him and then turned to the two guards riding swift horses beside her. "You two, ride ahead and break through first. Wait for us up front. Remember what I whispered to you at the beginning."
"Yes."
The two received their orders and quickly charged out from the formation on horseback. Ahead, fast horses cleared the way. They soon broke through the encirclement at the southeast corner.
Now, only eleven of them remained. Assassins were rushing in from all directions behind them, pursuing them relentlessly. How could these eleven fend off the attacks from the assassins behind?
Poison needles were fired repeatedly. Wherever the needles landed, the assassins would fall to the ground immediately. Although they had killed quite a few assassins while breaking through, their numbers were ultimately limited. Faced with an overwhelming enemy force, they were not gaining any advantage.
Xia Yuhan saw that the opportunity to break through was approaching and issued another command: "Protect the lord and move forward quickly. The two in front will charge ahead while the flanks and rear provide cover. Prince, we will break formation and engage in battle to hold them off and buy time."
"Alright." Cang Yile was incredibly excited.
He rarely collaborated with others on the battlefield so pleasantly, and the two had a remarkable synergy. To be honest, aside from his master, Xia Yuhan was the only one he could work with like this.
This action further solidified Cang Yile's belief that Xia Yuhan was someone he needed to cherish and pamper for a lifetime.
Cang Yile reined in his horse, quickly turned around, and charged fiercely toward the group of assassins behind them...
"Prince, cover me. I'll attack from a distance."
"This King is more than willing."
Cang Yile was completely satisfied with Xia Yuhan's shooting skills. He believed that when it came to using hidden weapons, she could claim second place; he doubted anyone would dare claim first. Even he wouldn't dare to say so. In fact, when it came to using hidden weapons, he truly couldn't compare to Xia Yuhan.
Hidden weapons were originally a means of assassination, but she utilized her advantageous surroundings and manpower perfectly to launch her hidden weapons.
Initially, he thought that compared to other young ladies, Xia Yuhan was merely intelligent or had a mind that matched his status as an Evil Master Zhangmen. However, after witnessing her every move today, he felt that this Xia Yuhan was becoming increasingly difficult to fathom.
He was even doubting how much more there was about Xia Yuhan that he did not know.
After all, how much had this woman hidden from him?
However, he believed that there would come a time when he would make Xia Yuhan willingly reveal everything about herself.
With the powerful support of Cang Yile and Xia Yuhan, Jiang Tingyu and his group successfully broke through and left their enemies far behind.
"Prince, it's time for us to break out."
Before Cang Yile could respond, Xia Yuhan first used a Silver Needle to stab the horse's belly. The horse beneath her went wild, galloping forward at full speed.
"You reckless woman! Couldn't you have told This King beforehand?"
"Prince, Yu Han was going to say it, but it might have already been exposed by them. At that point, none of us would be able to escape."
The horses they were riding were spirited and fierce, not inferior to Jiang Tingyu's Thousand Li Horse. Because of this, they quickly shook off the pursuing enemy soldiers.
"Quickly, Prince! We need to meet up with them ahead at that fork in the road."
"Woman, this horse is in a frenzy! How can This King stop it?"
"Prince, it's an emergency. It's already good enough that we can escape."
"…"
Worried that the assassins would chase after them again, Xia Yuhan resolutely decided to jump off the horse after passing through her allies' ambush.
Fortunately, Cang Yile realized Xia Yuhan's intentions in time and quickly ordered the horse to stop, thus avoiding a tragedy. Otherwise, it was hard to predict what consequences might have occurred: "Woman, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
However, at that moment, Xia Yuhan couldn't care less about such things. Her eyes were fixed on the pursuing enemies behind her. As they drew closer, she commanded the experts hiding on either side of the large tree ahead, "Pull the rope."
With a single command, the long rope was revealed, tripping the horse that had suddenly entered the area ahead.
The enemy's horses behind did not have time to stop and crashed into the fallen horse, causing a chaotic tumble.
"Quickly, retreat! Use Lightness Technique to climb the trees and fall back."
Two guards received Xia Yuhan's orders and began to retreat. Meanwhile, Xia Yuhan suddenly seemed to go mad, grabbing the horse beside her and charging straight toward the approaching assassins.
At that moment, even Xia Yuhan herself felt it was a miracle because she had never ridden a horse before nor had she ever learned how. Yet now she was riding so well.
"Xia Yuhan, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Cang Yile was frightened by Xia Yuhan's actions. Just as he was about to use Lightness Technique to chase after her, he was coldly reprimanded by Xia Yuhan: "Don't come any closer."
