Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Bang!

Several soldiers were sent flying with just one strike from General Chi’s swords. Without any mercy, his horse kept on charging forward and countless soldiers died under his blade. It was so violent that blood splattered everywhere.

General Shang watched the scene coldly and spat out,” Staying with those barbarians, you only learn how to use your muscles rather than your brain.”

“At least, it’s better than you who had become a coward.” General Chi sneered and kept on charging in General Shang’s direction. “Do you think such a coward like you would be able to withstand my blade?”

“Heh, you’re the one who wouldn’t be able to withstand it!”

Bang! CLANG!

The sound of metal clashing reverberated. The two of generals clashed with each other and repelled each other. Stepping back due to the impact, General Chi still kept the same sneer on his face.

Right now, he just wished to fight and fight more to make sure that he didn’t think of anything else aside from battle.

“Damn! You did get stronger, huh?” General Shang cursed and looked at his old friend. “But that’s not enough!”

“You’re the one who’s not a match against me!”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing reverberated. The other soldiers consciously kept their distance to make sure they would not be implicated and hurt because of the after effect. Still, they were all also busy fighting against the other people who were in front of them.

The battle was getting more intense.

Not far from General Shang, Sheng Shan Lang was busy ordering his soldiers to attack and retreat again.

Clang! Clang! Slash!

Sheng Shan Lang looked at the incoming commanders and waved his hand. “Everyone, follow me to the back!”

“UOooooooooo!”

“Damn it! He’s running away again!” The commander from Zhang Xu Kingdom couldn’t help but curse when he saw this. The soldiers whom Sheng Shan Lang brought with him were all cavalry.

They were chipping Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers little by little.

It was not like Sheng Shan Lang didn’t want to fight head on, but in this battlefield, it was more advantageous for him to fight while maintaining his distance. This way, he would be able to create the greatest effect with the smallest effort.

Clang! Clang!

With Sheng Shan Lang chipping the soldiers little by little from one side, Feng Ao Si was doing the same on the other side. He honestly didn’t want to do this, but Dai told him that for today, he had to follow this arrangement to create the greatest benefit for Fei Yang Kingdom.

And Feng Ao Si…

He didn’t understand.

But knowing that Dai would not hurt him, he chose to follow Dai’s arrangement and used the horse to kept on killing the soldiers and moved from one place to another swiftly and quickly.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

“Dai, you’re too slow!” Feng Ao Si yelled when he saw that Dai was lagging behind again. With him opening the road with his insane strength and stamina, it should have been easy for the others to follow him.

Dai rolled his eyes. “Wait a bit, Young Master.”

Did he think Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers wouldn’t respond when they saw we’re going away?

The soldiers’ reaction was also quite fast, so they couldn’t follow Feng Ao Si so quickly. But this also made Dai think that the soldiers who followed Feng Ao Si had to be trained again. They were not performing as well as he thought they would.

Tsk, how troublesome.

Clang! Slash! Slash!

Feng Ao Si ignored Dai and kept on circling around his location, killing the Zhang Xu Kingdom’s soldiers he could spot. His eyes were calm as if he was not killing people but insects. For a person who had been at the battlefield for such a long period of time, he had long been numb with this situation.

He might look like an idiot most of the time, but he also understood the importance of having the correct attitude in war.

He didn’t want to be a cold blooded killing machine.

He just wanted to win.

That’s all.

“Young Master, let’s go.” Dai looked at Feng Ao Si and reported.

“Let’s go.”

Feng Ao Si raised his sword and continued to make his killing towards the other direction.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

<The opposite side, Nan Luo and Nan Hua’s side along with Long Qian Xing>

“Enter the forest.” Nan Hua looked at Nan Luo, who was trying his best to walk quietly in the forest and shook her head.

Nan Luo might have trained his martial arts, but this forest had too many things on the ground. Without proper and sufficient training, it would be hard for Nan Luo not make any noise at all when they were going at fast pace like this.

“What tactic are we going to use?” Nan Luo asked in a low voice.

“Guerilla.”

“What?” Nan Luo looked at Nan Hua in confusion. This was the first time he ever heard of something like that. While he knew that he was not at advantage in the forest, but he never purposely trained through some kind of warfare tactic.

“We’re going to ambush them.” Nan Hua glanced at Nan Luo. “And then we’ll run away.”

Nan Luo: “…”

For some reason, he began to think that their opponents would be miserable.

Sora’s Corner: Guerilla Warfare

Guerrilla warfare is a form of irregular warfare in which small groups of combatants, such as paramilitary personnel, armed civilians, or irregulars, use military tactics including ambushes, sabotage, raids, petty warfare, hit-and-run tactics, and mobility, to fight a larger and less-mobile traditional military.𝒪𝗏𝓁xt.𝓬𝒪𝕞

^ The definition from Wiki

My personal explanation for this story: a type of warfare that usually used by a smaller group of soldiers to fight against bigger army through various ‘sneaky’ methods. It’s usually more useful when the terrains are not completely open field such as forest, cliffs, and so on. I will use several types of them in the later part of the story.
