Chapter 2696 Women Join Forces to Defeat Qian Meng, Zhao Hai's Fighting Spirit Ignites

As an infantry general, Lei Zhaohai could only unleash his full combat power when fighting on foot, which is why he had always been in foot combat mode before this.

Upon receiving the order to retreat, his first action was to recall his warhorse and prepare to mount it and leave. Only by riding a warhorse would he have a chance to escape the battlefield.

But at that very moment, a beam of multicolored light flew in from the side.

"Ding! Deng Chanyu's Five-Colored Flying Stone skill effect two activated. When using the unique hidden weapon Five-Colored Flying Stone, it reduces the opponent's attack power by 4 to 10 points depending on the opponent's level of defense. Currently, it reduces Lei Zhaohai's attack power by 4 points. Lei Zhaohai..."

"Ding! Deng Chanyu's Five-Light Flying Stone skill effect five activated. When using the unique hidden weapon Five-Light Flying Stone, the effects two and four will affect the opponent's martial power, temporarily increase her own martial power, and her current martial power..."

"Ding! Deng Chanyu's Five-Colored Flying Stone skill effect is activated. When using the unique hidden weapon Five-Colored Flying Stone, all of her amplification skills are activated at once. Once the target is locked, if the opponent fails to break free from her aura lock, she will hit the opponent with 100% certainty."

Deng Chanyu's Martial King stat +3, Flying Slash stat +5, current martial prowess increased to…

Having already suffered a loss on the Five-Colored Flying Stone, Lei Zhaohai was always on guard against Deng Chanyu, who was likely hiding nearby.

When the multicolored light suddenly appeared again, Lei Zhaohai did not try to track its trajectory as he had done before. Instead, he turned his body and used his helmet to take the hit.

After that, Lei Zhaohai suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing like lightning, and looked in the direction the flying stones had come from. Sure enough, he saw a female general standing on her horse more than ten feet away, holding a second flying stone in her hand.

"Little girl, I won't hold this against you this time!" Lei Zhaohai snorted coldly, ignoring Deng Chanyu, and prepared to mount his horse again and leave the battlefield.

Having witnessed his brother's death in battle, Yu Da knew it was time to retreat. If he stayed, he would likely face certain death and might not even be able to leave, let alone someone as experienced as Lei Zhaohai.

It can be said that Deng Chanyu's flying stone had absolutely no psychological impact on Lei Zhaohai.

Deng Chanyu clearly didn't want him to leave so easily. With a flick of her wrist, she launched a second flying stone, aiming straight for Lei Zhaohai's face. Lei Zhaohai turned his head again, his movement of mounting his horse forced to slow down.

But in that brief moment of respite, a cold light flew silently from another direction.

The cold light was extremely thin and fast, without a sound, but it was not aimed at Lei Zhaohai himself, but at the warhorse beside him.

Furthermore, because Lei Zhaohai was on one side of the warhorse at that moment, while the throwing knife was launched from the other side of the warhorse, Lei Zhaohai did not notice the sudden attack in time.

The tall warhorse that had been Lei Zhaohai's lifeline now ironically blocked his only chance of survival.

"Ding! Once the skill effect of the Slaughtering Furnace Dark Soldier is activated, when using a hidden weapon to attack, all of your own martial power will be activated instantly, and depending on the opponent's level of defense, the opponent's martial power will be reduced by 3 to 6 points. After the attack ends, this skill effect will be invalid."

Tu Lu's base martial strength is 103, with +2 from equipment, +3 from Martial King, +4 from Valor, and +4 from Spirit Phoenix, bringing his current martial strength to 116.

"Thud!" The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was dull yet clear. The horse neighed, its forelegs rearing up high. A three-inch-long throwing knife was embedded in its neck, blood gushing from the hilt. It staggered only two steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lei Zhaohai's pupils suddenly contracted. He knew what this meant. On this chaotic battlefield, a foot soldier who lost his warhorse was as good as a man who lost both legs.

No matter how brave he was, it was impossible for him to catch up with the cavalry on foot, let alone escape the battlefield alive while surrounded by the Han army.

Lei Zhaohai turned his head sharply, looking in the direction the throwing knife had come from. On the other side, Tu Lu was putting away his throwing stance, looking at him expressionlessly, with another throwing knife twirling between his fingers.

The two guards beside him were about to give their warhorses to Lei Zhaohai, but before they could get within three steps of Lei Zhaohai, a flying knife flashed by, or a flying stone landed on the horse's eye.

Lei Zhaohai stood still, with Deng Chanyu and Tu Lu blocking most of his path on either side. In the distance, more Han cavalry were surging towards them, their black banners fluttering in the twilight.

Lei Zhaohai took a deep breath, held the iron whip horizontally in front of him, bent his legs slightly, and assumed a steady horse stance.

He didn't look back at the direction Ji Chengfu had retreated, nor did he utter any grand words. He simply stood there alone, facing the thousands of troops that were about to surge in.

The situation is now quite clear. With these two men blocking his way on either side, even if his personal guards risked their lives, they would not be able to hand him their warhorses.

Moreover, his personal guards were not only these two, but also included the Han cavalry under Cheng Yaojin's command.

It was precisely because Cheng Yaojin led the Han cavalry to filter through the area that very few of his personal guards could get close to him. Even if they managed to get past Cheng Yaojin, they would still be unable to get past Tu Lu and Deng Chanyu.

As for the other soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty besides his personal guards, how could they possibly be willing to give up their warhorses to Lei Zhaohai and their chance of survival to Lei Zhaohai when they were fleeing for their lives?

For these soldiers, when it comes to life and death, they don't care whether you're a general or not.

On the battlefield, a general can only entrust his life and death to his most trusted personal guards, not to ordinary soldiers.

In fact, people who have lived to his age have already experienced the highs and lows of life, and have long since come to terms with many issues.

Many generals, when they grow old and frail, even seek to die on the battlefield.

Lei Zhaohai also showed this tendency. After all, although he was not old enough to be considered that old, he had already entered a period of decline and was now barely maintaining the level of a beginner-level Divine General.

To be honest, Lei Zhaohai was just a competent general, not a die-hard loyalist.

But it's also because he's no longer young. At his age, not everyone would be willing to ruin their reputation for the sake of life and death.
