320 Turning the Tide
"You…" before Ye Jiu could say anything else, he could see more arrows directed towards him from Jun Hua. Because their distance was not that far, the arrow became extremely heavy, a weight that reach even bigger compare with the soldiers. Although there were soldiers between them, somehow the arrow could pass through the small gaps and reached him.
Due to him falling back because of the arrow, his elite soldiers came forward and protected him in that critical moment, losing their life in his stead.
"Prince, please fall back."
Ye Jiu looked to the girl several dozen meters in front of him. She was standing on her horse as she aimed the arrows towards him, three at once. Her speed and accuracy caused him to lose even more soldiers who tried to protect him from the arrow.
The visage of a young general overlapped with the girl in front of him. Ye Jiu's face contorted for he finally understood the mystery of how the Jun family could stay strong, despite losing the young general. In fact, they never lost the person because 'he' was still alive with a different identity.
"Move back!" he bellowed angrily.
"Not so fast, Prince Ye Jiu," Jun Hua smirked and fired another round of arrows towards him. She had vowed to live a life as a girl and no longer held the sword. If not because of him, she would never reveal her real identity.
Switching the bow to a sword, Jun Hua sat down on the horse once again and paced it forward.
"Attack!" her yelling could be heard loud and crisp. The sound of their former young general of the battlefield resounded on the battlefield once again. Many people felt that they were inside a dream. The view they had longed to see has returned. With a renewed vigor, they moved forward and charged towards the Pan Kingdom's army relentlessly.
Fighting on the frontline once again, Jun Hua broke through the enemy formation and dyed the ground red with blood. None of their commanders have the chance to counter attack as they were being pushed back and killed one by one.
To Ye Jiu horror, he found a different army coming from behind. It seemed Jun Hua already predicted that he would come here and laid an ambush from behind. The rear soldiers were being slaughtered as the battle went on and it took them a long time to regroup themselves.
"Yabei, are you alright?" Yamin moved to Yabei side.
Yabei nodded, "You should protect Young Miss."
Yamin looked towards the distance where Jun Hua already charged forward. From the way she saw it, her Young Miss was venting her rage and feeling with her blade, making her advance unstoppable. With her as the lead, their force was unstoppable.
"I'm afraid that she doesn't require us," Yamin wore a wry yet proud smile.
Yabei had to admit that too. Seemed like the angry Jun Hua was far scarier than the usual Jun Hua as the way she charged forward and fought was extremely ruthless and efficient. In the end, the worry they had was her condition because they knew full well that Jun Hua's physical condition didn't allow the girl to fight in the battlefield anymore. At least, for the time being, she was not allowed to fight on the frontline.
Pushing their worry to the back, they continued their advance towards Pan Kingdom's soldier. "With this battle, the number of soldiers of Pan Kingdom would reduce significantly."
By the night that day, the number of soldiers Jun Hua killed by herself far surpassed the usual amount when she fought in the past. The total number of soldiers from the Pan Kingdom who passed away that day amounted thousands of soldiers and that too without counting those who were wounded.
The sight of Jun Hua being bathed in the blood of the enemies and charging towards the enemy's soldiers reminded them of the figure they loved so much.
"Lieutenant, we have to move forward!"
The lieutenant looked towards the figure at the very front as a smile formed on his lips. How long has it been that he wished to see their general again? He had long wished that the news was only a bad dream, and their general was still alive. Seeing her moving at the rapid speed and cut down the enemies, he felt at ease.
"Our general has returned. The fight is ours."
The soldier on the side nodded his head strongly. They believed that the appearance of Jun Hua was all they needed for them to win. The small back of their general has always led them to the victory and this time, they believed it would be the same.
"He –no she is our beloved leader and she will bring us to the victory like she always did in the past."
"She's genuinely the flower of the battlefield."
Dyeing the ground red with the enemies' blood, Jun Hua moved forward to charge towards the enemies. Her clothes were drenched with their blood. Not even her face was spared from the red color that seemed to fill the entire place.
Yet, she still moved forward and led the soldiers. Moving her sword, she was too fast for the enemy's soldiers to reach. The only thing they could see was her afterimage as she crossed the field and battled. Her sword danced through the enemies defense without any restraint. They could not contend against her at all.
"This fight is ours."
"We will win the one tomorrow too."
The soldiers looked towards their leader who has stopped the fight for today. Their eyes held deep pride and admiration alongside the strong belief that she would never lose.
"Yabei, Yamin, tomorrow are going to be a harsh battle. I need your help," Jun Hua said as she wiped her face.
The two of them nodded their head. "Rest assured general. We will always accompany you."
"That's good," Jun Hua said calmly as she gazed towards the sky. Since she had shown him her real identity, she would not let him go.
