Chapter 49: First battle

Guang Fai sighed and replied "Well both of you don't know the nature of Sir ling tian. He is a battle-hungry person who desires war more than women and I am very sure Sir ling tian is angry with lord's decision more than you"

Guang Jian asked, "Well why him then??"

Guang Fai replied "Well we are currently low in soldiers and we can't afford to operate our soldiers at a huge distance as such leaving Sir ling tian is the only option"

Guang Jian and Chen An finally understood the Lord's decision and left to prepare for battle.

Yang Feng went to meet Geng Fang and when he reached Geng Fang was still working.

Yang Feng asked, "Is the task still going on??"

Geng Fang nodded his head and replied "Yes, I have only made 21 swords. There is still a long way to make 200 swords you ordered"

Yang Feng was surprised to hear he was able to make 21 swords just in three days all alone. Yang Feng sighed and said "You can rest if you want"

Geng Fang continued his sword and said "I will rest if I am tired"

Yang Feng tried to persuade him to rest but he rejected every time.

Yang Feng grabbed one of the swords and checked it's quality "Fine sword"

Geng Fang merely replied "I would have made even better sword than this if you gave me more time"

Yang Feng transported all of the twenty-one swords in his inventory and said "I will come to visit you"

Geng Fang said nothing and continued his work.

After an hour,

As Yang Feng was heading towards his manor a soldier immediately came running towards him and half kneeled"Our soldiers are ready for battle my lord"

Yang Feng nodded and went to meet his soldiers and marched towards the battle.

Yang Feng troops to scout the area for any dangers or any enemy soldiers. After the scouts examined the area they found no dangers and so they continued their march.

Even though the scouts had reported no danger he still ordered his soldiers to keep their guards up.

As they were marching towards one of the villages they spotted the enemies.

The enemies too spotted them but they didn't immediately charge. They just stayed in their position watching them. Yang Feng ordered soldiers not to charge thinking it may be a trap.

Yang Feng started to analyse the enemies number.

The enemies numbered up to more than 120 soldiers which outnumbered Yang Feng's force. Yang Feng may have been outnumbered but Yang Feng's troop were well-trained soldiers compared to them. Yang Feng was trying to figure out their strategies and realised something. He immediately ordered the archers to fire arrows.

When the archers fired arrows the enemies tried to block them using shields. Yang Feng then ordered his soldiers to charge. The enemy soldiers formed a wall and used the shields to defend against the charge and the soldiers behind their back attacked using spears.

Yang Feng also charged towards the enemies riding the Xun Jun. As the battle went Yang Feng realised only the well-equipped soldiers were at the front while the less equipped soldiers were standing behind their back supporting the front line.

Yang Feng and his soldiers still couldn't break through their line so they had to retreat. His soldiers were heavily injured while the enemies didn't suffer too much.

Yang Feng again ordered his soldiers to charge against them. The soldiers clashed with each other again but still, they were pushed back yet Yang Feng ordered his soldiers to charge again. The soldiers' morale started to decrease while the enemies' morale continued to increase. This was looking bad for Yang Feng but still, he remained calm.

The soldiers were suffering heavily but Yang Feng didn't allow them to retreat and still continued to charge.

In a nearby hill,

There were three men watching as the battle went on.

A shiny armoured man said with disdain "I can't believe this is the person who was able to conquer those three villages knew their leader was like this then I would have attacked without hesitation"

Another man, who seems to be the youngest than others said with a smile "It is no time to regret but I don't think it was necessary for us to form an alliance anymore"

In the lead was an old aged man who watching Yang Feng fighting, "*sigh* kids these days always acts so rashly"

The armoured man asked "Should I call them??, I don't think it is necessary any more"

The old aged man coughed and said "Leave them, if we were to call them it would only delay us in conquering them"
