Chapter 449: Entering the Battle Alone
Seeing Duan Tianyang fall to the ground, Qiu Tieyi and others behind him were extremely anxious. They shouted in unison: "Brothers, save Brother Tian quickly and fight the enemy!"
Imagine if Duan Tianyang had not risked his life and led the entire army to evacuate immediately, how could the Hongxing Army dare to disobey his iron order? Or, if the Hongxing Army had known the power of muskets earlier, they would have retreated wisely.
However, Duan Tianyang did not retreat, but stepped forward and was willing to provide support.
At this moment, the only thought in everyone's mind was rescue, and they completely ignored Duan Tianyang's order just now, because he usually treated everyone like his own family and truly regarded every soldier as a brother.
At the call of Qiu Tieyi and others, the retreating Hongxing Army resolutely changed direction, raised their weapons high, and fearlessly rushed towards the enemy camp.
Duan Tianyang was lying on the ground, with deafening shouts in his ears. He turned back suddenly and saw that his own soldiers had not retreated, but were charging forward even more bravely. Every step was accompanied by the roar of Jin army's muskets and the figures of their comrades falling down.
This scene made Duan Tianyang's eyes widen with anger. He gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up from the ground...
He couldn't care less at this moment. He used instant slash again and rushed straight towards the enemy formation with lightning speed.
The Jin army's volleys followed him closely, but this time, he was prepared. In the hail of bullets, he lowered his body, stretched out his hands, and the Myriad Rings emerged from the gaps in his armor, instantly condensing into a huge rectangular shield.
He gripped the shield tightly and stuck it deep into the soil, hiding himself completely behind it and using it as a bulletproof shield.
Ding, ding, dang, dense steel bullets poured down like a rainstorm, violently hitting the shield formed by the Universal Ring, sparks flying, but failing to leave the slightest trace on it.
Taking advantage of the brief pause in the enemy's shooting, Duan Tianyang flashed and continued to charge towards the Jin army.
In the Jin army camp, a general waved his saber and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop him! Quick! Concentrate all firepower!"
At this time, the distance between the two sides had shortened to seven or eight meters. Duan Tianyang shouted suddenly, and the shield in his hand instantly deformed, turning into an extremely sharp long sword.
He held the knife in one hand and swung it outward. The wind blade whistled out like a violent storm and swept towards the Jin army camp.
Screams and exclamations were intertwined, and at least a dozen Jin soldiers fell in this storm of sharp blades.
At the same time as Duan Tianyang released the Blade Storm, the roar of a musket was heard from his side.
A steel bullet pierced through the air and hit his shoulder accurately, with armor fragments scattering and embedding deeply into his shoulder blade.
But Duan Tianyang's body only swayed slightly. He clenched his teeth and endured the severe pain without making any sound.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on the Jin army general who was still shouting loudly.
The instant slash skill was activated again, and Duan Tianyang's figure flashed in front of the Jin army general like a ghost.
The general's eyes blurred and he felt a powerful force strangling his neck.
He struggled to escape, but found that he could not move even a step.
Duan Tianyang grinned grimly: "Give it to you!" Then, the Devouring Ring on his hand burst into a dazzling red light, frantically sucking the true energy from the Jin army general's body.
The Jin soldiers around roared, raised their muskets, and started shooting at Duan Tianyang at close range.
Duan Tianyang flashed and threw the captured Jin army general to the side. Then, with a series of crisp "bang bang bang" sounds, the steel bullets spewed out by the musket poured down on the general. He died before he could even utter a scream, and his back was covered with dense bullet holes.
Duan Tianyang did not hesitate, threw away the heavy corpse in his hand, waved his long sword, and instantly killed into the dense crowd of Jin army.
Every time he swung his sword, it was accompanied by a long, narrow silver lightning. The heads of the three Jin soldiers rolled and fell in the lightning, blood splattered, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Just as Duan Tianyang rushed forward bravely, with his chest almost touching the muzzle of a musket, the Jin soldier holding the gun showed fear on his face, and his fingers trembled as he tried to pull the trigger.
Duan Tianyang was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed the gun barrel and raised it up with force. There was a loud "bang" and the bullet missed the target and shot into the sky.
Before the other party could come to his senses, Duan Tianyang's long sword had pierced into his chest like lightning, ending his life.
Duan Tianyang rushed left and right in the Jin army camp as if he was in an empty space, killing dozens of people in a row and shattering the Jin army's defense line in this area.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Tieyi and others led the Hongxing Army to rush in like a tide and engaged in close combat with the Jin Army.
Although the musket is extremely powerful, it is ineffective in close combat. Once the enemy gets close, it becomes useless.
Upon seeing this, the Jin army quickly formed a barrel formation, using heavy shield soldiers as the outer barrier and firearms soldiers inside continuously firing outward.
Across the battlefield, the Jin army was organized into independent cylindrical formations, with wide gaps between them, like a carefully laid trap.
Every influx and every charge of the Hongxing Army was accompanied by merciless shooting from the enemy, and the wails of those who were shot echoed over the battlefield.
At this time, Duan Tianyang's eyes were red, and he was waving a long sword, rushing towards a barrel formation with unstoppable force.
With a "crack" sound, the heavy shield in front of him broke apart. Then, a knife flashed, and the Jin soldier behind the shield was cut in half, with blood splattering everywhere.
With his own strength, he tore a crack in the barrel formation.
At the same time, three steel bullets shot out from the formation. He dodged and two steel bullets passed by him, but the third one unfortunately hit his lower abdomen. The armor at his lower abdomen was shattered, and the steel bullets were deeply embedded in the flesh, and blood dyed his undershirt red.
Duan Tianyang did not retreat because of this. Instead, he roared, tightly grasped the long sword with both hands, and chopped down with all his strength, unleashing the ultimate blade violence.
For a moment, a strong wind blew up, and the screams of the Jin soldiers in the barrel formation came one after another. Dozens of enemies were cut into several pieces by the invisible wind blades, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
When the Extreme Blade's fury subsided, the scene in front of Duan Tianyang was a mess. There were no intact corpses within a few meters. Only broken armor, scattered weapons, and pieces of flesh were left on the ground.
This scene deeply hurt the hearts of the surrounding Jin soldiers.
They witnessed the tragic death of their comrades, and anger and hatred surged in their hearts, and their eyes turned red.
Six Jin soldiers quickly gathered together, holding muskets loaded with ammunition and aimed at Duan Tianyang.
Just as they pulled the trigger, Duan Tianyang had already started to move quickly and appeared on their flank.
Gunfire roared, and six steel bullets missed their targets and all hit their companions.
The six people who fired the gun were shocked and turned their heads. They saw Duan Tianyang, covered in blood, holding a long knife, standing quietly beside them like a Shura who had returned from hell...
