Standing on the towering Hewu Mountains, overlooking the vast western plains, the vast land is connected with the blue sky, the green grass can be seen to the edge, and the breeze blows, making people unconsciously want to close their eyes and feel this rare experience.
Beautiful view.
But the strong smell of murder destroyed all these illusions. Cries of killing... explosions... screams... sounded continuously, and bright red blood fell on the green grass, dotted with red flowers.
The north-south Hewu Mountains separated the Shenwu Empire and the Lieyang Empire very well. The Great Wall stretching for thousands of miles on the mountains of Hewu Mountains was the best defense method for the Shenwu Empire to block the Lieyang Empire.
Relying on the natural danger of Hewu Mountain, the Lieyang Empire's two-year offensive ended in failure.
Qianxue stood next to Leng Yan and looked at the soldiers from both countries who were killing each other in the distance. Her face turned pale and her slender hands clenched into small fists.
It has been a few days since she arrived in the Western Territory. Currently, the newcomers can only stand on Hewu Mountain and watch. The brave soldiers of the Shenwu Empire successfully resisted several attacks from the Lieyang Empire, which also allowed these chicks from the imperial capital to see the battlefield.
of cruelty.
But the Lieyang Empire was like crazy, sending troops to harass the people at the foot of the mountain every day. When Leng Yan was in a good mood, he would send troops out to confront the other side. If he was in a bad mood, he would just send flint, rolling wood and arrows to greet him.
"This is the cruelty of the front line, can you feel it?" Leng Yan glanced at Qian Xue and asked.
"Why is there a war?" Qianxue asked with a frown.
"Because the Lieyang Empire and the Scarlet Moon Empire are despicable. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. They are barbaric at heart. All they want to do is invade."
"So we have to resist! For the tens of millions of Shenwu people behind us, we must hold on." Leng Yan said with an angry snort.
Qianxue nodded in agreement.
"Give these guys more strength." Leng Yan picked up a big bow from the side. One look at this bow showed that it was powerful and heavy.
"Here comes a ringing arrow!"
The soldiers on the side quickly carried a cloud-piercing arrow over. Judging from the soldier's effort, the cloud-piercing arrow must have weighed several dozen kilograms.
Leng Yan easily took the cloud-piercing arrow with one hand, drew the bow and nocked the arrow, straightened the bowstring to the full moon, pointed the arrow at the sky, released his right hand, and with a roar, the cloud-piercing arrow flew directly into the clouds with a harsh sound of breaking through the air and disappeared.
.
"General, let go of the cloud-piercing arrow!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
A cloud-piercing arrow completely inspired the Shenwu Empire soldiers fighting below. For them, Lengyan's order was their mission.
Suddenly, the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and the cloud-piercing arrow that soared into the sky fell down at an extremely fast speed. It was inserted into the head of a Sun Empire warrior with great precision, and the powerful arrow directly hit this man.
The warrior shot into a mist of blood.
"I got the arrow!" The Shenwu Empire warrior who was fighting with this Lieyang Empire warrior shouted excitedly.
The soldiers of the Shenwu Empire looked at the warrior holding the cloud-piercing arrow high with envy.
But an accident happened suddenly. The cheering warrior fell straight forward, and behind him was a Lieyang Empire warrior whose blade was stained with blood.
"Kill!" The soldiers of the Lieyang Empire also went crazy. This was a battle that was either your death or mine. The number of participants was not large, but it was still a matter of life and death.
As the Lieyang Empire went crazy, the Shenwu Empire was also furious.
The general's cloud-penetrating arrow fell to the ground, which was a shame for the Shenwu Empire.
"Kill them all and use their blood to cleanse the Cloud Piercer Arrows!"
"Kill them all and use their blood to cleanse the Cloud Piercer Arrows!"
"Kill them all and use their blood to cleanse the Cloud Piercer Arrows!"
The Shenwu Empire screamed and rushed forward. They rushed forward like mad dogs, slashing with their knives. When the knife curled up, they used their fists. When their fists were broken, they used their heads. When their heads failed, they used their teeth.
Until the sound of ringing gold was heard in the distance, the soldiers of the Lieyang Empire, who had no intention of resisting, felt relieved and broke away from the battle and retreated to the west.
The arrogant figures covered in blood stood on the spot and did not pursue them. They watched the enemy leave without cheers or waves, just like sending away a group of naughty children, with only peace in their hearts.
A bright red hand picked up the cloud-piercing arrow from a pile of flesh and blood. At this time, the cloud-piercing arrow was stained red with blood, and blood dripped down the tip of the arrow.
"Shenwu!" The bloody hand raised the cloud-piercing arrow.
"Shenwu! Shenwu!" The surrounding soldiers cheered loudly at this time.
"Shenwu! Shenwu!" The soldiers who were waiting in formation on Hewu Mountain also cheered, and their voices were like dragons and tigers, shaking the sky.
Climb up Hewu Mountain and hold up the red cloud-penetrating arrow with both hands.
Leng Yan didn't care about the blood on the arrow and directly reached out to take it.
"What's your name? What's your position?" Leng Yan asked in a deep voice.
"General, my name is Zhang Liang, tenth commander of the 42nd Battalion of the Third Corps." The visitor bowed and replied.
Leng Yan nodded. He saw Zhang Liang's performance clearly just now. He had ruthlessness in his bones. He was not merciless in killing enemies and did not panic when encountering difficulties. He was a ruthless person.
"Transcript Officer!" Leng Yan shouted.
A gentle young man ran over holding a notebook and a pen.
"Remember!" Leng Yan said only one word.
The transcriber quickly got ready.
"In the 372nd year of Shenwu Calendar, on May 13th, Zhang Liang, the tenth commander of the 42nd Battalion of the Third Army Corps, fought bravely and skillfully, killed fifteen enemies, and recovered the cloud-penetrating arrow that was lost by the general. He is specially mentioned as
Centurion of the 42nd Battalion of the Third Corps." Leng Yan said loudly.

Centurion of the 42nd Battalion of the Third Corps." After the scribe finished recording, he read it again.
"Thank you so much, General, Zhang Liang will serve the General well in his lifetime!" Zhang Liang clasped his fists and knelt down and shouted.
"Wait!" Just when everyone was happy, an inappropriate voice sounded.
A supervisor in a long gown came over swaying.
"General Leng, is this inappropriate for your promotion?" Supervisor asked.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Leng Yan glanced at him and asked.
"The empire has always stipulated that military merit is determined by the enemy's ears. Now he has not brought back a single enemy ear, but he is promoted based on one of your arrows. Is it possible that you think your own arrows are higher than the emperor's regulations?" Supervisor?
Jun clasped his fists on the side of his head, which was in the direction of the imperial capital.
"Supervisor, please don't put too much blame on me. This soldier's bravery is seen by everyone. It's reasonable for me to be promoted." Leng Yan said with his head held high.
"I think this promotion is not in compliance with the rules, and now I request that the promotion be withdrawn immediately." Supervisor Jun walked up to Leng Yan and stared into his eyes.
"Transcript Officer!" Leng Yan said in a deep voice.
"My subordinate is here!" The transcriber opened the record book again and waited for the record.
