Chapter 88

While Lǐ Rūfēng and his men were engaged in a fierce battle with the barbarian reinforcements, the battle on the side of General Li, Lǐ Yì, was also drawing to a close. Seated atop a tall steed and clad in black armor, Lǐ Yì looked like a descending God of War. With a wave of his long saber, he roared, "Lads, the enemy is showing signs of defeat! Follow me to press the attack and wipe them out completely!" Instantly, our soldiers surged forward toward the barbarian positions like tigers rushing down a mountain. Battle cries shook the heavens, seeming to tear the autumn sky apart. The frontline shield-bearers locked together tightly, forming an unbreakable wall of shields like a massive iron beast that advanced steadily, sending resisting barbarian soldiers flying in all directions. Closely following them, the pikemen thrust their pikes through the gaps in the shield wall, piercing accurately into the throats and chests of the barbarian soldiers. Spotting an opening, one pikeman let out a shout as his pike struck like a venomous snake emerging from its cave, instantly piercing the enemy's neck. A fountain of blood gushed out, splashing against the adjacent shield and leaving a shocking streak of crimson.
