Chapter 107: Rallying the soldiers
107 Rallying the soldiers
As the sun rises the next day, the soldiers are all started to awake. Both sides readied themselves for the battle which is inevitable. Their leaders have already arranged plans and strategies for today battle.
"Yabei, get into your position," Jun Min said lightly.
"General, are you sure that you're going to battle personally?" Yabei prudently ask.
Jun Min nodded. "To ensure victory, we need to eliminate most of their soldiers. Compared with us, the number of soldiers the enemy had is overwhelming which is why we need to play our cards as swift as possible."
"What about your wounds?"
"They have healed and the traces are almost gone," Jun Min answered. There are almost no traces from the wound anymore with the medicine the doctors give him. He can move around freely and there is no restraint on his body. After resting for a good time, he's already spirited enough to start the battle.
Seeing their young general is ready to fight and all, Yabei can only stand back. He returned back to his post while hoping that there will be nothing bad happened to Young General Jun. They can imagine the rage of Jun Qing should he found out that his nephew had gone another round of torment with wounds.
Jun Min didn't bother with his generals having questioned him. He knows that they're only worried about him and even if he chooses to discipline them later, they would still makes the same choice. He feels grateful for having those loyal soldiers.
"You're up?" Soujin is standing on the wall while looking towards the soldiers below the wall.
Jun Min nodded. "You're ready? The battle is about to start."
"Of course."
Jun Min clasped his fist towards Soujin and goes towards his horses. The battle will soon begin and he moved to his position. Looking at the soldiers behind him, Jun Min smiled. Even without him saying anything, they would surely follow him without any question, but this time he will talk.
"The Kai Kingdom and Pan Kingdom had alliances themselves in order to beat us up. They think with greater number, they will have greater changes, which probably goes down to the basic rules where the more the people, the more powerful they are," Jun Min eyes sweep across his soldiers. They are all watching him with heated gaze, waiting for his next words.
"Can the same basic rules applied for us? You have undergone the training which I personally arrange and you overcome it which is why you are all here. Now, it's time to show the result of your training and make them see with their own eyes just how powerful we are!"
With that statement, the soldiers are all riled up even more and they all roared up. Jun Min smiled and looks towards Soujin to begin the battle. His soldiers are all ready and pumped up.
When other people look at those highly spirited soldiers, they feel like they are inside a dream. How could those soldiers moral be so high that it's abnormal? Just how strong is Jun Min to make his soldier willingly following him with such fervor even without him saying anything before the battle and increase even more when he talked? When the battle finally starts, their entire question is answered.
Jun Min battle is like dancing, he will strike every people around him with his swordplay that's quick and decisive. The soldiers in front of him are incapable to stop him at all. From the viewpoint of people on the sidelines, Jun Min is not only a powerful general, that movement of his is beautiful and it's hard to explain it with words.
"He's like a flower."
"A blooming flower in the battlefield."
Because the one who watches Jun Min battles didn't only come from his soldiers, this is the first time they see such a battle that can be considered art. Accompanied with Jun Min face that is can only be described as flower boy, they come into one conclusion. Thus, the nickname for Jun Min is born. He's the 'flower of the battlefield'.
On the other hand, Soujin is also leading his soldiers and ruthlessly slaying the enemies' soldiers down. His speed is even faster than Jun Min which makes his battle prowess even more terrifying. While Jun Min is focused on attacking the lower-ranked officers, he's heading towards the enemy's headquarters and ruthlessly slaying his way to there.
Facing two great generals like them, the enemies fall into a dilemma, which one should they face off first? Finally, the great general move personally and clashed with Soujin.
"You're not bad, young lad."
Soujin looks towards the man in front of him. He's called Great General Wei from Kai Kingdom and Soujin had heard about him even from his young days. This general is a capable general on the battlefield and exceedingly powerful. His lips smirked.
"Please give me some pointers, General Wei."
General Wei smiled. "If that is your wish, young lad, I will accompany you."
With that, the two of them clashed and the soldiers on their surrounding had to move away to allow this two fight more freely. If they were to stay around these two, they might get killed because of a mistake. Who would want their death to be so vexing?
Soujin's sword aimed towards General Wei shoulder from above, but General Wei blocked it perfectly. He pushed Soujin back and attacked the young general with his enormous strength, nearly sending Soujin back. Soujin eyes narrowed, the fight is not going to end that quickly.
As the two generals are fighting, the soldiers didn't stay idly and they too are fighting will all their power. They clashed with the enemies' soldier and continue their fight ahead. Especially Jun Min's soldiers, they are all fighting with a high battle spirit.
Even Fan Ying is not an exception. He didn't stay idly and ordered the people on his squad to move even further to attack the enemy. The fight has just begun.
