Wen Yuesheng’s actions were too swift and ruthless, so much so that even those around her didn’t react in time before Feng Xi had already fallen.

In the vast battlefield, a moment of silence suddenly descended.

Whether from Haozhou or Da Hui, all the soldiers were in a state of immense shock.

The soldiers of Haozhou had never imagined that Feng Xi would die, and die so quickly.

As for Da Hui…

Liu Yi, who had been guarding the frontier for a long time, was not very familiar with the happenings in the capital.

He knew of Wen Yuesheng, but he didn’t expect her to perform like this on the battlefield.

It must be noted that before Wen Yuesheng and the others arrived, Liu Yi and his men had already resigned themselves to death.

Yet, in such a short time, they were now told that Feng Xi had died!?

Liu Yi and the generals around him were stunned.

Those soldiers, like him, who woke up every day to face the incursions of Haozhou’s forces, constantly being pushed back by them on the battlefield, were witnessing such a scene for the first time.

They had never imagined that one day they would be able to directly kill an enemy general in the midst of a million-strong army!

Once they regained their senses, countless soldiers, whether they knew Wen Yuesheng or not, all had flushed faces, and they shouted in high spirits:

“Long live the general!”

“Long live the general!”

The voices were loud and resounding, spreading in all directions like a wave, energizing all the soldiers present.

In contrast to Da Hui’s rising morale, Haozhou’s ranks were already in disarray.

Feng Xi was known for his cruelty, but he was also a skilled martial artist, a famous general in Haozhou who had rarely lost in border battles.

The few times he had been defeated had been against the three generals of the Lu family.

Even in those rare defeats, they had never reached the level of death.

He was Feng Xi!

In Haozhou, every member of the Feng family was known for their prowess in battle.

How could he die so quickly at the hands of a woman?

When the Haozhou soldiers regained their senses and looked at Wen Yuesheng and the long knife in her hand, fear began to creep into their eyes.

In battle, individual skill alone was far from enough to shake the entire army.

After all, two fists could never defeat four hands.

As humans, everyone had limits—they could get tired, make mistakes, or even falter in the heat of battle.

So no matter how skilled one was, in the face of a powerful army, they were no more than fragile paper.

But this woman was different.

Despite being surrounded by many Haozhou soldiers, she had still managed to strike from a distance and kill Feng Xi.

Such strength was beyond ordinary understanding.

Moreover, in every army, the commander was the core, the heart of the force.

Wen Yuesheng had shown up without uttering a word and directly killed the commander—this alone would break the morale of the troops.

The deputy commander of Haozhou, who had previously warned Feng Xi about this woman, now snapped back to reality, his face turning extremely ugly.

Since they had come to the battlefield, they had fought many times against Da Hui.

This was the first time, just after the two armies had met, that they had lost an important general.

Tai Lan had warned them to watch out for this woman, but he hadn’t expected her to possess such abilities.

It seemed that even Tai Lan himself did not know the true strength of the woman before them.

And Feng Xi had paid for his arrogance with his life.

Amid the chaos of the battlefield, there was no time for them to regroup.

With Feng Xi dead, the deputy commander had to stabilize the morale of his troops.

The deputy commander shouted, “Form up! Where are the archers? Get into position quickly!”

“Change formations! Bring in the cavalry, everyone, follow me to kill the enemy!”

Seeing the soldiers around them losing morale due to their commander’s death, the deputy commander had no other option. He gritted his teeth and said:

“Anyone who kills Da Hui’s commander today will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!”

On the battlefield, even though he knew the woman’s abilities were terrifying, he couldn’t let his soldiers fall into fear.

He couldn’t let them show any sign of fear to the enemy.

The soldiers of Haozhou were certainly not like those Wen Yuesheng had faced in Fuzhou.

Back then, the soldiers under Han Ke were even weaker than any random army from the capital.

But the soldiers of Haozhou were well-trained and powerful.

They quickly adjusted their formation, putting heavy infantry at the front and light cavalry at the rear.

The cavalry took position behind the heavy infantry, holding bows and arrows, aimed at every Da Hui soldier armed with a long knife.

Compared to Haozhou, Da Hui’s response was much slower.

Liu Yi and the border soldiers under his command were struggling to keep up with the swift movements of the Haozhou generals.

The plan was to flank Haozhou from the side, so they didn’t have crossbows with them.

Breaking through the enemy’s heavy shields wasn’t going to be easy.

His martial arts skills weren’t particularly high, but he was obedient.

After witnessing Wen Yuesheng’s methods, he quickly organized the soldiers below and approached her.

As soon as he got closer, Liu Yi’s first sight was Wen Yuesheng’s blood-stained long knife.

He whispered, “Princess, are you injured?”

Wen Yuesheng lightly shook her head, her gaze falling on the swift rearrangements made by Hao Zhou, then paused for a moment before asking, “Do you have archers?”

Liu Yi hurriedly responded, “Yes, there are about five hundred archers in the team.”

The crossbows were too large to move, but for convenience in battle, he had still brought some archers along.

Liu Yi asked, “Should we replace the archers?”

But Wen Yuesheng replied, “Not yet.”

Before Liu Yi could react, he heard Wen Yuesheng coldly say, “All commanders of the Sword Camp.”

The fierce and intimidating commanders of the Sword Camp, who didn’t seem like soldiers of the Great Hui, called out, “Here!”

Wen Yuesheng’s eyes were cold and sharp, landing on the large, heavy shields before her, and she ordered coldly, “Change to chopping knives.”

Chopping knives!?

Liu Yi was immediately stunned.

This was the first time he had heard of using chopping knives on the battlefield.

Before this, the soldiers who came with Wen Yuesheng had used ordinary knives, while Wen Yuesheng herself wielded a special long knife.

After her command, Liu Yi looked closely and saw those commanders immediately put away their knives and, from their backs, drew out large knives wrapped in black linen cloth.

The large knives were about the same length as regular knives, but they were much heavier, with extremely wide blades that looked like the huge knives used in slaughterhouses to kill pigs.

These knives were all made of special fine iron and were very heavy.

But because the soldiers of the Sword Camp were all incredibly agile, and because they were all wearing black clothing and black armor, their dark appearance made it hard for anyone to notice they were carrying such weapons.

When Wen Yuesheng issued her command, and they simultaneously revealed their large knives, it wasn’t just the soldiers of the Great Hui who were shocked.

Even the people of Hao Zhou were startled.

Under the sunlight, the large knives glinted coldly, their wide blades exuding a strong sense of intimidation.

Anyone who had fought on the battlefield would know just how heavy these weapons were.

When the soldiers of the Guard Camp appeared with their fierce and ruthless demeanor, no one expected they were hiding such weapons.

Unbeknownst to others, the weight training for these weapons was just a daily routine for the Guard Camp.

The thousand elite soldiers following Wen Yuesheng were selected from various armies for their extraordinary abilities.

After undergoing special training with Wen Yuesheng for some time, they were now like sharpened long knives—unstoppable!

“All commanders of the Guard Camp, listen to my orders,” Wen Yuesheng commanded from her horse, her voice cold. “Cut through the shields and launch a direct assault!”

Faced with the threat of enemy archers, she was ordering them to directly charge.

The soldiers of the Sword Camp were different from others.

They had absolute trust in Wen Yuesheng’s commands, so when she spoke, they moved without question.

Liu Yi watched as the black-clad soldiers surged forward like a storm, immediately cutting the heavy shields before them into pieces.

The specially made fine iron chopping knives were nearly unstoppable—they could cut through people and easily slay them!

“Don’t be dazed,” Wen Yuesheng’s voice rang out, and Liu Yi suddenly snapped back to attention.

He heard her calmly say, “Organize the archers to cover the Sword Camp soldiers and eliminate all the enemy archers.”

“Yes!” Liu Yi responded without hesitation.

The soldiers of Hao Zhou, too, were seeing these chopping knives, capable of cutting through heavy shields, for the first time.

A deputy general beside his commander, his face grim, muttered, “This army is too strange, and their weapons are extremely vicious. General, what should we do now?”

Having fought against the Great Hui for many years, they were very familiar with the abilities of their generals.

The soldiers of Luo City were not great in direct combat but were no less powerful than them when it came to light cavalry.

Hao Zhou still had heavy cavalry and axe-wielding soldiers to deploy.

But as the general glanced at the battlefield, where the Sword Camp soldiers were cutting mercilessly, and their well-trained troops surrounded the enemy, the frontline shield bearers were already on the verge of collapse, about to be overwhelmed.

This sudden appearance of such an army, even though small in number, demonstrated such exaggerated capabilities that it was almost impossible to ignore.

Moreover…

From the right front came continuous screams of agony, and the general suddenly turned around.

He immediately saw the Great Hui princess, Wen Yuesheng, wielding a long knife, cutting down countless of Hao Zhou’s brave generals in her path.

Wen Yuesheng was unstoppable, cutting down commanders as easily as slicing through melons and vegetables.
