Chapter 896: Chapter 241: Fan Wu’s Terrifying Aura! Tens of Thousands of Troops Are Merely So!_5

Every single steel spearhead was gleaming with a chilling light. At this moment, spear formations to the front and rear had created pincers, closing in on them.

Spears arrayed like a forest.

There was no surpassing this.

"... Brother, I think I misspoke. They don’t just have a few hundred men; now... there are at least two or three thousand blocking the way ahead, and probably the same number behind us. Of course, that’s both front and back combined, which I estimate comes close to six thousand people." Yan Dahu’s expression looked rather grim because the number was a bit excessive: "Plus the sides... there might be even more." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Yan Dahu had already seen on the slopes to the left and right densely packed men who had raised their strong bows, and all of them had already nocked arrows to their bowstrings.

The moment someone gave the order, they would unleash a volley of arrows, with at least ten thousand arrow shafts shooting westward toward them!

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be that bunch from the port— the naval forces... We’ve miscalculated, not expecting them to have laid an ambush here already," Yan Dalong also said, "If it’s the navy taking action, chances are they have come out in full force, and I estimate that their numbers won’t be under thirty to forty thousand."

"Damn it... they really think highly of us! A few years ago it was five or six thousand surrounding us, half a month ago it was over a thousand, and now it’s thirty to forty thousand." Even Yan Dalong, the elder brother, couldn’t help but curse.

Yan Dalong spoke coldly, "It seems that old geezer named Tuoba Jundu has definitely set his mind on taking us down. What we can do now is break through the encirclement, either burst forth from the front or the back. As for the sides, we don’t have the advantage of terrain, trying to break through there would be somewhat difficult."

After saying this, he suddenly turned to look at Fan Wu, Yun Jiuqing, and Xing Fengzi. It might have been Yan Dalong’s misconception or for some reason, but he noticed that these three people seemed relatively calm.

It was alright for Yun Jiuqing and Xing Fengzi; he could tell that they were somewhat nervous. But that Fan Wu seemed too calm.

To have that kind of serene expression on my face, as if he already knew there would be an ambush here.

Or it could be said, he simply did not take these ambushes seriously at all.

Such composure baffled Yan Dalong.

Could this be a confidence in his own strength?

Yan Dalong knew that Fan Wu was formidable; after all, if he weren’t, he wouldn’t have been able to take down his foolish younger brother in just two moves. But the problem was... they might be facing an army of the navy with a baseline of thirty to forty thousand! These naval forces might not be particularly good at fighting on land, but they should not be underestimated.

...

"Father, these guys look completely panicked already," gazing down at Fan Wu and the others not far below, the young general in silver armor wore a scornful expression, "Just these few people, and yet they’ve stirred up such trouble? I’ve heard that a few years ago, the Imperial Court sent out sixty thousand troops, and they couldn’t capture those two brothers, allowing them to escape."

"Now with fewer than forty thousand troops, we can take them all down. It looks like our navy is a bit more capable than those infantry soldiers, each one of them is rubbish." As he said this, the scorn and ridicule on the young general’s face intensified, "Those few are now caught like fishes in a net, even with wings they wouldn’t be able to escape."

Tuoba Jundu furrowed his brows; compared to his frivolous son, he, as the father, was very composed and did not underestimate Fan Wu and the others just because of their numerical superiority.

The one clad in a dazzling Golden Armor, Tuoba Jundu, spoke, "Still, we should not underestimate them... Especially those two crazy brothers. They come from the Imperial City, and it is said that their family once counted among the Great Clans, though now it’s in decline. But the Cultivation Methods passed down to them should not be taken lightly. Who can guarantee they don’t have an ace up their sleeve?"

"And that one... the one they say beat Yan Dahu, shouldn’t be underestimated either. If the rumors in the square aren’t false, then it means that out of this group of people, at least three are formidable, each capable of fighting a hundred."

After these words, Tuoba Jundu, the commanding general, immediately gave an order, "Aim at those two brothers... Fire! As for those three foreigners... Capture them alive if possible, and if not, then let it be."

With his order, the navy soldiers who had already nocked their arrows to their bowstrings, immediately aimed their longbows at Fan Wu and the others.

In an instant!!

A humming "bzzz" filled the air, the sound of bowstrings vibrating fiercely! What followed was the sound of arrows slicing through the air! Looking up, arrows flew from both sides, dense like rain!

It was another kind of darkening of the skies!

"Damn it... That old Tuoba doesn’t want to take my brother and me alive; he wants us wiped out!" Seeing this, Yan Dahu’s expression turned particularly ugly. He let out a roar like that of a tiger, and the surface of his skin began to glow with a bloody light.
