Even so, none of the soldiers cowered and faced death unflinchingly.

“Kill them.”

Ji Shuisheng shouted for Zhong Yong to charge forward together. Without any weapons, he picked up a machete that had fallen from the ground and charged into the Tartan team to kill them.

Ji Shuisheng was very brave. He raised his hand and slashed down like he was chopping vegetables. The Tartan soldiers facing him were afraid of him and wanted to avoid him and not confront Ji Shuisheng head-on. However, they did not expect to collide with the charging soldiers behind them and become ghosts under their swords.

Ji Shuisheng’s killing intent shocked the morale of the enemy. He fought ten against a hundred and immediately turned the situation on the battlefield.

The more he fought, the braver Ji Shuisheng became. He felt as if he was fighting alongside his father on the land where his father had fought. His emotions surged, and his passion turned into strength to kill the enemy even more bravely.

Zhong Yong had been eager to try it for a long time. He widened his eyes and waited for his big brother to speak. When he heard his big brother’s order, he rushed to the target he had aimed at earlier. This person used the same weapon as him, a pair of hammers.

When the other party saw him coming menacingly, he raised his hammer to smash him. He originally wanted to use the strength of the twin hammers to take his life.

Who would have thought that Zhong Yong would charge straight at him without dodging? When the hammer fell, Zhong Yong turned sideways and grabbed the other party’s wrist that was holding the hammer handle. He used too much force and forcefully broke the kid’s arm, causing him to fall off the horse.

The Tartan soldier screamed, “All….”

Puff!

Before he could finish shouting, Zhong Yong smashed his head with his hammer. Instantly, white brain matter and red blood splattered everywhere. The Tartan soldier fell limply to the ground. He probably never dreamed that he would die under his twin hammers.

Zhong Yong had learned Mount Tai Crushing from Su Qing and practiced it to perfection. This time, he felt that this move was even more effective. With a suitable weapon, Zhong Yong was like a god of death descending to the lower realm. He rushed into the ranks of the Tartan soldiers and looked for a skull to smash.

Even the Tartans, who had always been savage, feared him. He was too savage, too terrifying. His height and strength determined everything. Zhong Yong seemed to have entered a no man’s land. With a series of beatings, no one dared to get close to him.

The addition of the two of them significantly reduced the pressure on the city guards, and their morale immediately soared. The old general took advantage of the situation and ordered,

“Kill them, make sure they never return.”

For a time, the morale of Mo City’s defenders was greatly boosted, and their shouts were like thunder. The Xiao family’s army used the pocket formation to wrap these Tartan soldiers up like dumplings.

Those who were hit died, and those who charged at the front did not survive. Their lives were more important as they turned around and ran back. The Tartan soldiers realized in horror that these people were like wolves and tigers.

As the saying goes, a defeated army is like a collapsing mountain. If you charged forward with all your might, you might not die. Without the will to fight, you would be easily killed if you ran away in fear of death. This was how war was.

Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong’s faces and bodies were splashed with blood. The old general and the other soldiers were also stained with blood. After killing all these Tartan soldiers, the general finally had the time to thank Ji Shuisheng.

Ji Shuisheng only experienced what the battlefield was like after this battle. It was not just talking about being wrapped in a horse’s leather and stained with blood.

The old general got off his horse and threw away the reins. He cupped his fists at Ji Shuisheng and said,

“Little brother, thank you for your help.”

“You protect our country, so we should help you resist the foreign invaders.”

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly returned the greeting. This was once his father’s old subordinate. Now that he was old, he was still protecting the people.

“Brother, what’s your name? Are you willing to serve the country in the army?”

The old general wanted to recruit Ji Shuisheng and Zhong Yong into the army.

Ji Shuisheng looked at his tattered military uniform, the shabby clothes of the soldiers, and the chipped steel knives. Ji Shuisheng smiled at the old general’s thin and tired face. He asked in a low voice,

“May 1 ask if you think protecting such an imperial court is necessary?”

The old general was shocked by Ji Shuisheng’s rebellious words. He stroked his beard and stared at Ji Shuisheng.

“Little brother, do you know that your words are treasonous?”

Ji Shuisheng deliberately provoked the old general. His sharp eyes looked into his eyes and sneered,

“Ha, then, Old General, capture me and buy some merit points!”

The old general sized up Ji Shuisheng for a long time and saw a familiar feeling in his eyes. He was determined, courageous, and fearless.

“Little brother, can you tell me your name?”

The old general asked Ji Shuisheng in a gentle voice.

“My surname is Xiao, and my name is Zeyu.”

Ji Shuisheng looked into the old general’s eyes and slowly said his name word by word. This name that he had not used for 16 years, once he said it, his heart surged with emotion. He could finally use his real name again.

The old general’s body trembled when he heard Ji Shuisheng’s name. He looked at Ji Shuisheng anxiously. No wonder he felt that his gaze was so familiar.

“Young master, accept this old man’s bow.”

The old general knelt on one knee; his hands cupped with tears in his eyes. His expression was like a lost child who had found his family. They were not fighting alone. General Xiao’s descendants had come, and the young master could revive the Xiao Family Army.

“Uncle, please rise.”

Ji Shuisheng quickly helped the old general up with both hands.

“What’s your name, uncle?”

“This old man is Cheng Yu, serving as the right vanguard under General Xiao.”

Cheng Yu hurriedly reported his name. He was not a high-ranking official in the Xiao family’s army, but he had always taken the lead in charging into battle. When Xiao Heng was alive, he thought highly of him.

“Uncle Cheng.”

Ji Shuisheng hurriedly held Cheng Yu up with both hands. The old man should have been enjoying his life but still sacrificing himself.

Those who forgot to die guarded the border to protect the people.

Cheng Yu invited Ji Shuisheng to his camp with tears in his eyes.

“Young Master, please come to the camp for a chat.”

“I still have two companions. I will go and call them first.”

Ji Shuisheng also wanted to understand the situation here. Why was Mo City so desolate? Did the Tartan soldiers attack by chance or harass them often?

Cheng Yu cupped his fists.

“Alright, this old man will return to the camp to prepare to welcome the young lord.”

They still had to clean up the corpses of these hundreds of Tartan soldiers. Their army was too poor. The imperial court did not pay them or replenish their weapons. They had to fight against the Tartan soldiers and seize their weapons and money to survive.

Thinking about it, Cheng Yu was also filled with grief and anger. He was protecting the country, but the Emperor’s Wan family was pulling out the ladder behind him and stabbing him in the back.

Ji Shuisheng saw these soldiers rummaging through the corpses of the Tartan soldiers for money. This action was inexplicably familiar. What master led what soldiers? Although they did not do it together, it was precisely the same.

They had relied on the money and valuables they had obtained from the Wan Family Army, bandits, and bailiffs who had been killed to survive.

Ji Shuisheng returned to the courtyard where Su Qing and Xiaoying were hiding, only to find that they were not there.

The horse was tied up in the house, the carriage was hidden behind the house, and the persons were gone.

“Su Qing, Xiaoying? Where are you?”

Ji Shuisheng was anxious. He turned the house upside down, not letting go of the cellar, but he still could not find any traces of these three people..
