King of Nine Skies-Chapter 209 - :Plan within a plan

Outside of Dianliang City, in all directions, the Red Blood Iron Cavalry saw the flickering firelight within the city. At the command of those generals, all the soldiers galloped forward without hesitation, heading straight for Dianliang City.

In an instant, the Crimson Blood Cavalry arrived outside the city of Broken Blade. With their hands behind their backs, they took down the bows from their backs and suddenly, a burst of firelight appeared. All the soldiers in the Crimson Blood Cavalry had prepared fire sources.

The arrow suddenly burst into flames. The burning arrow was placed on the bowstring and then shot out of the bow, soaring towards the sky.

Countless rockets streaked across the sky, igniting the darkness and creating an extremely magnificent spectacle.

Immediately afterwards, under the astonished gazes of the Mo Yi soldiers in Dian Jian City, these endless rockets descended from the sky, as if they had come from beyond the heavens.

After shooting out their fiery arrows, the crimson-blooded cavalrymen outside the city galloped away, changing their positions, and then all fired their arrows at once. Rockets of successive rounds illuminated the sky completely, making it as bright as day.

In just a short while, the city of Jianlei was reduced to a sea of flames, with flames blazing everywhere. The soldiers within the city were all in a state of chaos. This sudden scene threw them into confusion all at once.

Meanwhile, within the city, Lin Feng and others led the elite soldiers of the Broken Blade City in carrying out the assassination operation in an orderly manner.

If they were well-prepared, these rockets raining down from the sky would not even be able to do any damage to the elite troops of the Lingwu Realm at the third level and above, let alone the elite troops of the Moei Kingdom. However, they would be enough to wipe out many ordinary soldiers of the Moei Kingdom and completely disrupt the deployment of the Moei Kingdom.

The fierce and blazing fire made it impossible for the armies of Mo Yue Kingdom to gather together. Their warhorses were also running wildly and chaotically.

At this moment, on a loft, Capricorn was wearing a long robe and standing with his hands folded.

A rocket streaked past him, illuminating his face with its glow, deep and serene.

"Even as the city was burning down, Liang Canglan proved to be a true master of the bow and arrow."

Capricorn said indifferently, then whispered softly, "Issue my order. All the soldiers retreat towards the North Gate. Do not put out the fire. Do not pursue and kill those Snow Moon soldiers who have entered the city. Everyone gather at the North Gate and prepare to meet the enemy."

After Marcy's words were spoken, his orders were instantly conveyed. The sounds of the orders spread throughout the burning city of Broken Blade, illuminated by the flames.

Suddenly, all the soldiers of the Mo Yue Army stopped trying to extinguish the flames and ceased engaging with the elite troops of the City of Snow and Moon. Instead, they all rushed towards the northern city gate.

At this moment, in a certain place within the city of Jianle, a flash of swordlight appeared, and immediately one person was killed on the spot. Meanwhile, through the shouts, Marcellus' order was conveyed. The other soldiers actually gave up killing Lin Feng and ignored him, heading northward.

Not only these sergeants but also all the Mo Yue soldiers who heard this order followed it without any doubt or hesitation.

"Capricorn, he has a strong influence in the military."

Lin Feng was startled by what he saw. In the Mo Yue Kingdom, they intended to make the Mo Yue God the symbol of Mo Yue and the embodiment of the Mo Yue God. But now, the Mo Yue God does indeed enjoy an unparalleled prestige among the Mo Yue army.

Surely, Capricorn's abilities are beyond doubt.

If the soldiers of the Mo Yue army continue to act recklessly and lose their heads due to rage, the number of casualties will keep increasing. Gathering together, they will concentrate their strength and then break through from one place. This is the best way to deal with the situation.

"Now, it's only left to Uncle Liu to do the job."

Lin Feng inwardly murmured a word of encouragement. Then he swiftly withdrew his long sword and his figure shimmered as he blended into the throng of soldiers running wildly in the firelight. He ran alongside them, heading towards the northern city gate.

Nowadays, even if the Mo Yue army could gather a large force together, they would surely all be in disarray. Wearing the armor of Mo Yue soldiers, he would never be recognized by anyone.

Even if tens of thousands of troops were involved, it would be impossible for all of them to know each other.

In the direction of the North Gate, rockets kept falling from the sky as well. However, here, the strongest warriors of Mo Yue gathered. Among them were many who possessed the Ice-type Soul Reaper. They could control the icy water and extinguish the burning flames. In the entire Broken Blade City, this place was the safest and also the most desolate.

However, there were still people constantly coming this way. In just a short while, nearly one hundred thousand troops gathered here, and the number was still on the rise.

However, all these people remained silent and could clearly hear the distant chaotic roars as well as the nearby footsteps.

At this moment, Ma Gai stood at the very front of the crowd, his gaze fixed on the city gate ahead. He said calmly, "Open the city gate."

"Open the Kaesong Gate."

The messenger shouted suddenly, and immediately a rumbling sound was heard. The northern city gate swung wide open.

"Five thousand vanguard cavalrymen will be leading the way and waiting five li away."

Capricorn shouted again, the command sounded out. Cavalrymen came forward in formation, gathered together, and then galloped off towards the city gate.

In the darkness, it is impossible to tell whether there are ambushes in the distance or not. The vanguard troops scout the way ahead. Even if there are ambushes, the entire army will not be annihilated.

Among the crowd, Lin Feng's eyes were shining. Such a calm person, such a terrifying Capricorn.

Even at this moment, his orders can still be so well-organized and orderly. This is the true demeanor of a general. He remains calm and composed even when facing unexpected situations. Nothing can shake his composure.

Otherwise, if the generals are all in disarray, how could the morale of the troops remain undisturbed? Such a legion, even if it has a large number of troops, would be no match for a strong opponent.

The North Gate is the one located far away from the place where the Broken Blade is. Capricorn believes that if he were Liu Canglan, he would have set up an ambush in the middle area between the Broken Blade and the Broken Blade City, that is, outside the West Gate. There he would have waited for the opportunity to strike and cut off the retreat route of the Mo Yue army, trapping the Mo Yue people inside the city. Therefore, he did not choose the West Gate but the North Gate.

Five thousand vanguard cavalry charged into the darkness. Ahead, there was utter silence. There was no sound at all. Only the continuous reverberation of the horse hooves' stomping on the ground could be heard echoing through the space.

At this very moment, a few hoarse neighs of warhorses rang out abruptly. The sergeant who was galloping ahead felt the ground suddenly give way and he and the warhorse fell together into the collapsing area.

And the warhorses that followed arrived at this moment as well. Together with the advance troops, they rushed into the collapsed ground. For a time, the vanguard troops became extremely disordered again.

"There are ambushes."

A loud cry of command resounded. The vanguard of the Mo Yue army would stop advancing, but many warhorses still got stuck in the collapsed yellow soil ahead and were buried there. Many people were also unable to stop their advance and crashed into the warhorses in front, tumbling over and over. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The vanguard corps of the Mo Yue army that had halted their advance immediately turned their horses around and retreated. However, they had not gone far when they were once again thrown off their horses and overturned. On their way back, there suddenly appeared a tripwire trap in front of them. Then, arrows came flying towards them from the air, whistling through the night air and vanishing without a trace.

The shrill cries of pain kept rising and falling, reverberating continuously throughout the space.

The Mo Yue troops in the city heard the mournful cries coming from afar. Their faces turned slightly pale. They had fallen into a trap. Those vanguard troops were doomed to die.

"Let's move out and head for the West City Gate." Capricorn's expression remained calm. He merely said it in a faint tone and then the entire army set off again towards the West City Gate.

Although there were powerful martial artists with ice-element spirit souls leading the way, on the way to the West City Gate, many soldiers still perished in the inferno. Especially, the rockets that sometimes fell from the sky would also kill some people.

However, the troops that converged at the Western City Gate did not decrease in number but rather increased. This was because when they passed through the Broken Blade City, countless Mo Yue soldiers returned to their ranks.

At this moment, the troops gathered at the West City Gate numbered no less than twenty thousand. But Marcy's heart felt a slight chill. Burning the city with fire was a cruel method. However, one had to admit that this unprecedented tactic had achieved remarkable results. It made his fifty-thousand-strong army seem like a trapped beast, trapped in the Broken Blade City.

"Open the Kaicheng Gate. Three thousand vanguard cavalrymen are leading the way. They are cutting through the enemy lines and stopping at the horizon."

Capricorn said again in a cold tone, "This time, I won't have the five thousand cavalry lead the way. Instead, I'll have three thousand."

The city gate was wide open, yet still there were cavalrymen converging towards the front, preparing to clear the way.

However, when the city gate opened wide, the eyes of the Mongol army focused all at once. What they saw before them was countless Snow Moon soldiers, their eyes cold and solemn, as if they were ghosts from the underworld, illuminated by the firelight.

The leader was dressed in military uniform, and it was clearly the Snow Moon General, Liu Canglan.

Caught in a trap.

The soldiers of the Mo Yue Army all understood instantly that Mo Jia's choice just now was correct. This west city gate was where Xue Yue's large army was lying in wait. The north city gate just now might not have had many ambushes, just traps. This was a stratagem within a stratagem, a very perfect stratagem within a stratagem.

"General Liu is a master of strategy and tactics. In this battle, Marcellus was completely convinced by his wisdom and prowess."

Looking at Liu Canglan, Ma Gai said indifferently.

At this moment, the soldiers of Snow Moon Regiment were all in perfect unison in their movements. Their bows and arrows were drawn, and the firelight flickered. The endless flames illuminated this entire space.

Because the sight was blocked by the city tower, the soldiers of Mo Yue couldn't see how many people there were outside. They could only see the red-flaming fire.

"This victory is not due to my efforts."

Liu Canglan said softly, raising her hand slowly.

"Without General's prowess, who could have planned this battle?"

Capricorn looked puzzled and asked.

"Lin Feng."

Liu Canglan's palm was raised and waved down. Instantly, the endless arrows of flames turned into a torrent of fire rain, descending from the sky and landing upon the tens of thousands of troops of Mo Yue.

With each shot of this round of arrows, it is unknown how many people lost their lives instantly. Meanwhile, the flames not only spread but also spread through human beings as a medium.

Seeing the flames of the Fire Arrows of the Snow Moon Army being raised again, Capricorn knew that there was no way out anymore. This battle was inevitable.

"Kill!"

A resounding sound rang out. It was the voice of the Capricorn. The Mo Yue Army, transformed into a fearless force, charged towards the city gate, defiantly facing yet another round of flaming arrows.

At this moment, everyone wrote down a name - Lin Feng!

After this battle, Lin Feng will surely become famous throughout the two countries of Snow Moon and Mo Yue.
