I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 164: Dark clouds gather around the city, and the enemy is at the gate

In the distance, black flags obscured the sky, bearing down on the border like a dark cloud. Marshal Hawke, clad in black armor and mounted on a towering horse, gazed grimly ahead. Behind him lay tens of thousands of the enemy's elite troops, marching in unison, their murderous intent surging like a black torrent, unstoppable.

"Report - the enemy's vanguard has arrived at Black Wind Pass, less than thirty miles away from our position!" A scout came on horseback, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly.

"Pass the order down, the entire army enters combat status!" Ren Xiaoyao's expression was stern, with a firm light flashing in his eyes.

On the border, the Imperial Army stood in battle formation. Battle flags fluttered in the wind, their rustling rustles. The soldiers, clad in armor and weapons in hand, gazed determinedly ahead. They knew this was a battle of life and death, a battle that depended on the survival of the Empire.

"Xiaoyao, the enemy is numerous and we are few, this battle will not be easy to fight." General Sun walked to Ren Xiaoyao, frowned, and said worriedly.

"Don't worry, General Sun. I have a plan." Ren Xiaoyao patted General Sun on the shoulder and said firmly, "I've already made arrangements. The border residents will assist us in the battle and hold back the enemy's main force. We only need to concentrate our forces and defeat their vanguard first to dampen their morale!"

"Okay! I'll go crazy with you! I don't believe these bastards can get past our defense line!" General Sun was infected by Ren Xiaoyao's heroic spirit and laughed heartily.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air was filled with tension.

"Report—the enemy's vanguard has arrived five miles in front of our position!"

"Archers, get ready!" Ren Xiaoyao gave an order, and the archers who had been lying in ambush on both sides of the position drew their bows and arrows, with the arrows pointing directly in the direction of the enemy's attack.

The rumbling sound of war drums rang out, and the enemy's vanguard, led by a heavily armored general, launched a fierce attack on the imperial army's position.

"Fire arrows!"

Following Ren Xiaoyao's command, a rain of arrows poured down on the enemy army like locusts...

"Xiaoyao, the enemy commander's flag has moved!" General Sun pointed to the distance and said to Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of General Sun's finger. He saw a huge battle flag embroidered with a black eagle slowly rising in the enemy's formation...

Under the Black Hawk banner, Marshal Hawke rode a tall horse, like a black god of war. He drew the sword at his waist, pointed it in the direction of the imperial army, and roared: "Kill!"

The enemy's vanguard surged forward like a tide, wielding swords, spears, and halberds, their cries of war shaking the heavens. Undeterred, the imperial army, under the command of Ren Xiaoyao and General Sun, responded calmly.

"Xiaoyao, the enemy's right wing is weak, so you can concentrate your forces to attack!" Xia Lin's voice sounded in Ren Xiaoyao's ears. She used a special method to pass the information she collected to Ren Xiaoyao in a timely manner.

"Pass the order down, archers concentrate their firepower and attack the enemy's right wing! Cavalry, stand by and prepare to attack!" Ren Xiaoyao made a prompt decision and issued a series of orders.

As a dense rain of arrows fell, the enemy's right wing was thrown into chaos. Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and led the cavalry, charging into the enemy formation like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Seeing the situation was bad, the enemy commander, Marshal Hawke, immediately dispatched elite troops to stop them. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing, flashes of swords, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the fighting was extremely brutal.

"General, the enemy's center army has moved. They are about to launch a full-scale attack!" A messenger came on horseback and reported to Ren Xiaoyao.

"Pass the order down, the entire army should prepare for battle!" Ren Xiaoyao looked solemn. He knew that the real decisive battle was about to come.

The enemy's center, led by Marshal Hawke, swept towards the imperial army like a black torrent.

"Xiaoyao, the enemy commander is personally leading the battle, you have to be careful!" There was a hint of anxiety in Xia Lin's voice.

"I understand." Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and looked forward with a determined gaze. He knew that in this battle, he could only win, not lose! He drew the sword from his waist, pointed the blade straight ahead, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy and defend our country!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The imperial soldiers roared loudly. Their morale was high and they rushed towards the enemy without fear.

The two armies collided fiercely like two torrents. Swords clashed, sparks flew, blood stained the ground red, and screams echoed through the sky.

Ren Xiaoyao was in the center of the battlefield. He waved the sword in his hand like a flash of lightning. Wherever he passed, the enemy fell down one after another.

"The enemy commander is right in front, follow me to kill him!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly to boost the morale of the soldiers.

He took the lead and rushed towards the enemy commander, Marshal Hawke...

Ren Xiaoyao led the charge, like a sharp knife, piercing the enemy's heart. The sword in his hand resembled a silver dragon, each swing taking the lives of several enemies. The enemy soldiers retreated under his attack, fear spreading in their eyes.

"Soldiers of the empire, follow me and kill!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly, his voice resounding through the battlefield like thunder, inspiring the morale of the imperial soldiers.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The imperial soldiers were encouraged and their morale was boosted. They raised their weapons high and launched a fierce attack on the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Meanwhile, General Sun commanded his troops, calmly and composedly responding to every enemy attack. He was like an insurmountable mountain, unable to be shaken by the enemy's fierce attacks.

"Archers, shoot!" General Sun gave the order, and a dense rain of arrows flew towards the enemy like locusts. The enemy's formation was immediately in chaos, and there were heavy casualties.

"Cavalry, charge!" General Sun gave the order again, and the cavalry troops swept out like a hurricane, breaking the enemy's formation into pieces.

Marshal Hawke watched his army being defeated, his heart simmering with rage. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it! These Ren Xiaoyao and General Sun are really capable!"

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that now was not the time to despair. As long as he could find an opportunity, he would be able to turn the tide of the battle.

"Pass the order down and let the reserve troops move forward!" Marshal Hawke gave the order.

"Yes!" The messenger took the order and left.

Soon, the enemy's reserves were deployed, and the fighting became fierce again. Although the imperial army fought bravely, they were outnumbered and gradually began to feel some difficulty.

At this moment, Ren Xiaoyao noticed that the enemy commander, Marshal Hawke, was not far away. With a gleam in his eyes, he said to his personal guards, "Hold on here, I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he spurred his horse and rushed towards Marshal Hawke.

"Protect the Marshal!" Marshal Hawke's personal guards saw this and quickly stepped forward to stop them.

However, how could these personal soldiers possibly be a match for Ren Xiaoyao? Ren Xiaoyao swung his sword and killed all of them.

"Marshal Hawke, give me your life!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted and rushed towards Marshal Hawke...

"Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin, who was watching the battle from a distance, suddenly changed her expression and cried out...

Dark clouds loomed over the city. On the battlefield at the empire's border, shouts of killing shook the heavens, and the smell of blood filled the air. Like a tiger descending from the mountains, Ren Xiaoyao charged through the enemy hordes, unstoppable. However, the enemy's numbers were too great, surging like a tide, wave after wave, and the imperial army gradually fell into a passive position.

On the distant hillside, Xia Lin used her magical tool to observe the battlefield situation, her brows furrowed. She noticed that the enemy's rear seemed to be weakly defended. With a sudden thought, she quickly sent a message to Ren Xiaoyao, "Xiaoyao, the enemy's rear is open. We can send a surprise attack!"

Ren Xiaoyao's spirits lifted upon hearing this. He swung his sword fiercely, releasing a stream of sharp energy that forced back the surrounding enemy soldiers. He raised his head and looked in the direction of Xia Lin, shouting, "Lin'er, lead a group of elite cavalrymen, go around to the rear of the enemy, and wait for an opportunity to strike!"

Xia Lin nodded, jumped onto a snow-white warhorse, and her clear voice echoed over the battlefield: "Divine Archery Battalion, follow me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of elite cavalrymen wearing silver armor and holding longbows rushed out from the team and rushed towards the rear of the battlefield like arrows.

"General, a cavalry appeared behind the enemy and is attacking us!" An enemy scout ran to Marshal Hawke in a panic to report.

"What?!" Marshal Hawke's face changed drastically. He never thought that at such a critical moment, the imperial army still had the spare capacity to send a surprise attack on his rear.

"Pass the order down and tell the rear troops to return to defend immediately!" Marshal Hawke made a prompt decision and issued the order.

However, it's too late.

The Divine Archery Battalion led by Xia Lin appeared behind the enemy army like a ghost, and dense rain of arrows poured down like locusts, and the baggage troops behind the enemy army were suddenly in chaos.

"Kill!" Xia Lin shouted and rushed into the enemy camp first. The long sword in her hand flashed with cold light. Wherever she passed, enemy soldiers fell to the ground.

The cavalrymen of the Divine Arrow Battalion were all elite soldiers who could defeat ten enemies with one. Under the leadership of Xia Lin, they were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, killing the enemy soldiers and horses.

"Damn it! Who is this woman? She is so powerful!" Marshal Hawke was shocked and angry when he saw this.

At this moment, a messenger ran to Marshal Hawke in a panic and shouted in fear: "Marshal, it's bad, Ren Xiaoyao..."

"What happened to Ren Xiaoyao? Tell me quickly!" Marshal Hawk grabbed the messenger's collar and roared.

"Ren Xiaoyao he...he..." The messenger was so scared that his face turned pale and he stammered, unable to speak.

"What did he say? Tell me quickly!" Marshal Hawke asked impatiently.

"He... he is leading an army and is charging towards us!" The messenger finally said this and then collapsed to the ground.

"What?!" Marshal Hawke's face turned pale upon hearing this...
