The situation is critical. Xia Yuhan is completely unaware of the strong smell of gunpowder emanating from Cang Yile. "Please rest assured, my lord. Even if it costs me my life, I will ensure your safety."
Cang Yile almost fell off his warhorse upon hearing this. He was truly exasperated by this woman to the point of feeling like he might spit blood.
A woman. Sooner or later, you will come to like This King.
Cang Yile understood the importance of the overall situation and decided not to argue further with Xia Yuhan and Jiang Tingyu. "If that's the case, then give the order. This King is willing to lend you a helping hand."
"Alright."
At this moment, Jiang Tingyu's forces had already gathered. Xia Yuhan bowed to Jiang Tingyu, saying, "My lord, in order to minimize losses, I hope that this team will be commanded solely by me."
Jiang Tingyu looked solemnly at his subordinates. "Did you all hear that? From now on, follow Yuhan's orders."
"Yes, my lord." Although they had just gone through a fierce battle and were physically exhausted with countless strong enemies around them, their morale remained undeterred.
At this moment, everyone focused their attention on Xia Yuhan. Although they were reluctant to be led by a woman, since their master had spoken, there was no reason not to comply.
Jiang Tingyu's gaze towards Xia Yuhan deepened. Looking at her was like seeing General Xia personally commanding the troops. Truly worthy of being General Xia's daughter. Although she is a woman, Xia Yuhan remains calm and composed, confidently employing tactics that are no less than any man’s. What woman is inferior to a man?
Xia Yuhan is an exception.
In Cang Yile's deep-set eyes, there was nothing but affection for Xia Yuhan: "You go ahead, Yu Han. If there's danger, I, Cang Yile, will shield you."
Although with his true strength it wouldn't be impossible for him to charge through with just Xia Yuhan alone, he couldn't guarantee Jiang Tingyu's life with just his own power. Now that Xia Yuhan had a way to lead everyone through the conflict and encirclement, he was more than willing to support her.
Moreover, he could quietly guard her side and watch closely as she navigated through danger to achieve victory.
On the other hand, if he saves Jiang Tingyu this time, it will definitely only bring him benefits in the future. There will be no drawbacks.
Xia Yuhan knew that the burden on her shoulders was heavy. Seeing that she now had the power to command, she did not hesitate. Before the enemy launched an attack, she immediately ordered, "Listen to my command. Everyone dismount immediately."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone, including Jiang Tingyu and Cang Yile, dismounted without any hesitation.
Although the enemy had a large number of troops, they had also suffered significant losses. Their reinforcements were continuously increasing, and now they had more than two hundred men. Therefore, they still held a strong position in this battle.
However, after just experiencing a fierce fight, they were well aware of Cang Yile and those guards' capabilities. Now seeing them all dismounting together, they feared it might be a trick and hesitated to advance.
"What should we do now?"
"They are already like fish in a barrel, at their wits' end. We should observe for a while longer before taking action."
……
On Xia Yuhan's side...
"The situation is urgent. I'll keep it brief. Previously, the Right Chancellor analyzed that the enemy is likely to be well-trained soldiers. Therefore, every move we make from now on will make them wary, fearing that we might be deceiving them. Since they have no bows and arrows in hand, they certainly won't dare to attack recklessly. We need to take advantage of this psychological state of the enemy to buy ourselves some time."
"We have thirteen people here. The lord does not possess martial skills, so the other twelve will bear the responsibility of protecting the lord. We will ensure the lord's safety at all costs in any situation. To ease everyone's worries about protecting the lord, I will arrange a new formation layout."
"Everyone listen carefully. Now hold onto your horses tightly. When I call your name, follow my direction without making any noise. Of course, this excludes the prince and the lord."
"In the lineup, those skilled in close combat should nod."
Finished. Four guards wearing short swords nodded.
"Good. Let's continue. Those skilled in spear combat, please nod."
Another four guards holding spears stepped forward in response.
"Alright. Now for the remaining two. How about the Lightness Technique? If the Lightness Technique is good, or if it can be improved, just nod."
Then the last two guards simultaneously nodded in response to Xia Yuhan.
After understanding the strengths of the team members, Xia Yuhan scanned the group with a serious expression: "Next, we will set up the formation. You must remember, this will be your first and only time using this formation. If we succeed, we will be able to escape smoothly. If we fail, it will be you who gets hurt. Each of you is dear to your lord, a comrade of your lord, and also my comrade, Xia Yuhan. Therefore, I do not wish for any losses among you."
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuhan felt a surge of blood boiling throughout his body.
"Alright. Now we will begin setting up the formation. Those skilled in using spears, please stand in order around the lord at due south, due east, due west, and due north."
"Next, please have the four skilled in close combat stand in the gaps around them, forming a circle around the lord. The two using Lightness Technique, please lead Horse and stand on either side of the lord within the human circle."
With most personnel arranged properly, Cang Yile couldn't help but frown: "Yu Han, what kind of formation is this? I've never seen it before."
"I haven't seen it either. I don't know how much chance this formation has," Jiang Tingyu expressed concern from the side.
After all, this formation didn't seem particularly special. If it was simply about breaking through, it would require the main support to be protected by those on either side at the center. Such a breakout would be very unfavorable for his subordinates.
He had thought about breaking out before. While he could survive that way, his guards wouldn't have such good luck. They had saved his life back then. He regarded these guards as brothers. It was precisely for this reason that all ten brothers vowed to follow Jiang Tingyu to the death.
However, Xia Yuhan did not provide much explanation. She felt a great deal of pressure as she looked at Lose Ten Pairs, whose hopeful gaze was directed at her.
"Milord, please rest assured. Yu Han will ensure your safety."
"It is best if everyone is safe. Otherwise, we might as well die together."
Xiang Tingyu's deep feelings surprised her. The guards under him were even more inspired by his words.
Having followed Jiang Tingyu for many years, there was no battle they could not win.
Xia Yuhan collected her thoughts and surveyed the enemy's situation. Seeing that they still had some reservations, she let out a slight sigh of relief. "Prince Yile, the hidden weapon in that launcher is fully loaded."
Cang Yile nodded in agreement. "Yes, I have never used it before, but I know how to operate it."
Xia Yuhan shot him a glare. What did he mean by never having used it? The first time he received this item, he had quietly killed several men in black.
However, at this moment, she did not have the time to argue with him. "Alright, I will trouble the prince to ride with Yu Han and stand beside the Right Chancellor."
"This King is more than willing to do so." With that, he took the reins and stood next to Jiang Tingyu.
Now, the formation centered around the three of them was set up. As for its power, they would soon find out.
Xia Yuhan took a deep breath. Success or failure hinged on this moment. Previously, she had only operated such formations theoretically and they were more suited for shooting. This time, she made some adjustments to the formation based on the situation.
Whether they could succeed depended on the performance of these guards next.
Everything was ready. Suddenly, a command rang out: "Mount up."
The crowd did not hesitate. One by one, they swiftly mounted their horses, weapons in hand, always prepared to charge into battle.
Xia Yuhan, Cang Yile, and Jiang Tingyu stood side by side on their horses. Beside them were two guards skilled in Lightness Technique. "Listen up, everyone. I will assign you code names now. Those skilled in close combat will be Code One; those proficient in ranged attacks will be Code Two; and those adept in Lightness Technique will be Code Flying Eagle."
"Do you understand? If you do, shout it out loud."
"We understand!" The ten guards shouted in unison, their voices echoing through the forest for a long time.
Cang Yile and Jiang Tingyu exchanged glances and nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with trust and admiration for Xia Yuhan.
"Today, let This King and the Right Chancellor break through together. Rest assured, if anything goes wrong, This King will protect you."
"Jiang Tingyu has the same intention. Success or failure hinges on this moment. Everyone prepare to charge out."
...
At this moment, in the enemy camp, seeing Xia Yuhan's guards mount their horses one after another, they tightened their reins, ready to strike at any moment.
"Look at them discussing for a while; it's just this formation. Brothers, no matter what today, we must ensure they meet their end. Otherwise, if we let this day pass, it will be our turn to die."
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Over two hundred men shouted in unison, their voices drowning out Jiang Tingyu's ten guards.
"Brothers, charge! Let's catch them off guard!"
"Kill..."
In that moment, over two hundred people surged in from all directions...
Meanwhile, Xia Yuhan's side remained quietly waiting for her command. Although they were all anxious, without orders, they could only wait.
"Yu Han, give the order quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late."
"No. Now is not the time. No one is allowed to act without my command."
At this moment, Xia Yuhan was far from a weak woman. She exuded the aura of a general. Her words were commands and their last lifeline.
She radiated an undeniable presence. Once she spoke, no one dared to express dissatisfaction, let alone resist.
Only Cang Yile knew of her tension.
For some reason, her hand had inadvertently grasped his arm. Whenever she felt nervous or scared, she would grip Cang Yile's arm tightly.
