Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 9 Both sides suffer losses
Masahiro Itadori has a high prestige in the Akaike army, and many officers were trained by him.

But after he rebelled, he could only stabilize the soldiers around him.

Those soldiers who were farther away from him, especially those facing Luo Lang directly, had completely lost their will to fight.

It’s no wonder that the soldiers were cowardly.

A feudal army would collapse if it suffered 10% to 20% casualties. At this time, there were less than 200 people left in the Akagi army, which was more than 30% of the number of people at the start of the expedition.

The nominal leader, the Daimyo of Akaike Province, is dead, and the enemy is as powerful as a monster.

How could a few words from Tiger Stick possibly encourage those poor guys who were almost scared to death?
His promises were worthless in the face of danger.

Noticing that part of the Chichi army had begun to abandon their weapons and flee, Xu Feng knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

He tossed the short spear in his hand and said, "Get ready to pick up some scraps. Although you may not get many reward points, once you enter a place like this, fighting and killing are inevitable. Now is the time to see blood."

He hadn't intended to cause any trouble.

But after realizing that Hanasaka Shoko has extraordinary observation skills, he decided to take a risk.

Hanasaka Shoko's observation ability cannot guarantee an absolute information advantage like turning on a full-map cheat, but in the current environment, it is enough to make them the sixth.

After all, they don't intend to intervene in the frontal battlefield.

The reward points for ambushing and killing those fleeing soldiers will not be many, but even a small mosquito leg is still meat.

Moreover, in a normal infinite world, the main god will often give certain preferential treatment to newcomers, and it will be easier for newcomers to obtain reward points.

Hunting the fleeing soldiers has certain risks, and the difficulty of obtaining reward points in the future will not be lower than ambushing these soldiers.

This low-risk behavior is the perfect exercise for these two novices.

"Hunting down those fleeing soldiers?" Hanasaka Shoko frowned.

She was not worried about any moral issues, nor did she feel that these defeated soldiers were too pitiful or that killing them was too cruel.

In the island country of this era, the boundary between soldiers and bandits is not so clear.

These defeated soldiers will most likely become bandits.

She was worried about her own safety. "The battle hasn't been decided yet. If the winner notices us, won't we be in trouble for nothing?"

The Jinyiwei were very powerful, but the Chichi army still had the advantage of having more people.

Even if some people escaped, there were still more than a hundred people on the battlefield.

If the Akaike army wins and finds out that the two of them are secretly attacking and killing their comrades, it will be troublesome.

"No, the winner has actually been decided. The soldiers of Chichi Kingdom have been defeated!" Xu Feng said decisively.

"Of course, it's impossible to tell how many Jinyiwei will lose. Most likely, Luo Lang is the only one left. But no matter how many Jinyiwei members are left, they are unlikely to pay attention to the defeated soldiers after such a brutal battle. No matter how powerful they are, they still need to rest after such a fierce battle!"

When the defeated soldiers appeared, every additional death in the Chichi Kingdom brought them closer to complete collapse.

Now these people have not been completely defeated, and their morale is entirely supported by the powerful general.

Once the general was killed by Luo Lang.

The Akaike army will be completely defeated!
Hanasaka Shoko seemed to have figured this out as well. She stopped talking and just followed Xu Feng along the mountain road towards the battlefield.

Soon, they encountered the first group of fleeing soldiers.

There were more people than Xu Feng expected, five in total.

But only two of them were armed with swords, and the rest were originally spearmen. In order to escape, they had already thrown away their heavy spears that were three or four meters long.

In mountainous and forested areas, vision is easily restricted.

It was already an hour or two into the night, and the distance these ancient people could observe in the dark was very close.

Xu Feng and Hanasaka Shoko discovered these people, but the defeated soldiers did not notice them at all.

Although he had the initiative, Xu Feng was hesitant about whether to attack these people as the number of targets was a bit too large.

He could only deal with two people at most. If he had to deal with five people at once, there was a high probability that he would be defeated if the enemies cooperated well enough.

Seeing those people getting closer and closer, when they were only about twenty meters away from the two of them, Hanasaka Shoko shot an arrow.

Her archery was extremely accurate... maybe because the distance was not very far, her first shot hit the eye of the knife-wielding man in the front.

Faced with this sudden attack, the fleeing soldiers were like frightened birds. They didn't care where the arrows came from, but just ran down the mountain at a faster speed.

Run for your life!

This was the only remaining thought of these defeated soldiers.

They had already been frightened by Luo Lang. Seeing that the girl had already resolved half of the threat, Xu Feng no longer hesitated and threw the short javelin repeatedly.

He drew his katana and rushed out without caring whether there was any result or not.

After a while.

Xu Feng wiped the blood off the samurai sword with some boredom.

The battle was very boring, and he looked like a villain as he chased after those frightened soldiers who were only concerned with escaping and had no idea how to resist.

The result of the battle made him feel a little ashamed. He only stabbed one of the five fleeing soldiers to death with his sword, and the other four were all shot to death by the girl.

Being carried away by the girl...

The girl took a deep breath, thinking back to what she had just heard, and said softly, "10 bonus points per soldier? I wonder what we can get with these bonus points."

"All this will be revealed after we complete the mission." Xu Feng didn't say much. He couldn't be sure which main god space he had entered.

He and the girl quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

In fact, there was nothing to clean. He exchanged the samurai sword seized from the bandits for those of the two Akaike soldiers. These two swords were better than the bandits'. The blade of the sword was already a little bent after just one kill.

The girl recovered the arrows that were still usable.

She didn't have many arrows, so she had to use them sparingly.

The two men moved a little closer to the battlefield.

Then they continued to ambush and kill the fleeing soldiers.

Before they knew it, the two of them had entered the battlefield circle.

Just as the two men arrived at this area, Hanasaka Shoko had already noticed that the battle was almost over.

Very tragic.

After the daimyo's guards were defeated, Itadori also noticed Luo Lang's bravery. He appointed his deputy Shigetaro to lead the archers and spearmen to surround and kill the four seriously injured Jinyiwei, while he personally led the cavalry to intercept Luo Lang.

This gave the four besieged Jinyiwei an opportunity.

Except for Bai Luan, who was too old, the other three Jinyiwei rushed into the army of Chichi Kingdom with large shields.

Shigetaro led the archers to kill one person and shot two others into hedgehogs, but he was also beheaded by the Jinyiwei who rushed into the formation.

The rest of the officers tried hard to maintain their formation after losing their leader, but their already scattered formation was useless against the powerful Jinyiwei, and they were unable to stop the more than one hundred people from being slaughtered by two Jinyiwei who looked like they were about to die.

Of course, it would take a lot of time to kill even a hundred pigs, let alone more than a hundred soldiers in armor and weapons?

The two Jinyiwei were killing with great enthusiasm, but the weapons in their hands could not withstand such a torment.

Soon, the swords in their hands became less useful.

They themselves were bleeding too much from their injuries, and their movements were slower.

Then, the wounds on his body became more...

Under this vicious cycle, the two Jinyiwei were severely injured and killed one after another, but the Jinyiwei who could not feel pain were too efficient in killing.

After the battle, most of the Akaike army had been hacked to death or wounded.

The others were also close to collapse.

There were only a few people gathered around the two reincarnations, the old man and the fat boy. This group of people was in the safest place. They were the fire-fighting team specially prepared by the Daimyo of Akaike Province to deal with the alchemist's powder keg.

The two of them were also frightened. After seeing how ferocious the Jinyiwei were, they didn't want to stay in this world for a moment and just wanted to complete the mission quickly.

They already knew that the man with glasses who was used to test the completion of the task had disappeared at this time.

As long as they stay inside the Lion Sound City for an hour, they can leave this world!

On the other hand, Luo Lang is much stronger than his colleagues.

Mountains are not suitable for cavalry.

After the cavalry led by Tiger Stick approached Luo Lang, they directly turned into mounted infantry.

Luo Lang surrounded a thick tree. The cavalry wanted to form a formation, but they could not find a suitable direction to attack. They were teased by Luo Lang like walking a dog.

In the end, more than thirty people were killed one by one by him.

Yuji, who thought he was an extraordinary martial arts master, was completely manipulated by Luo Lang. After all the soldiers who were protecting Yuji were killed, he was stabbed through the chest by Luo Lang.
