Shield men would hack away while using their shields to fend off attacks while spearmen stabbed their spears into the corpses and pushed them back.
Lu Xun and Sun Ce joined the battle and quickly made their way toward Zhang. Lu Xun showed that he was extremely skilled in combat when he incapacitated the corpses with a few simple swings of his sword. Whereas Sun Ce overwhelmed the corpses with his powerful strikes. These two mowed down all in their path just like Zhang.
“My lord fall back let us handle this.” Lu Xun beaconed for Zhang.
But Zhang completely ignores him and continues hacking away at the corpses.
Although they were able to change the flow of the battle into their favor there was no end to the sea of corpses that kept coming in through the fallen section of the walls.
That was when Ai yelled, “Everyone get back!”
Ai could be seen ascending into the sky using the Black Thorn whip to propel herself up. Then with a somersault she whipped downward while increasing the size of the whip.
BOOOM!!!
She had increased the whip to its maximum size and used its weight to crush a large portion of the corpses inside the fort.
“Move the lines forward!!” Zhang ordered.
“If possible we just leave the fort and break out of the encirclement.” Zhang thought. Although they could hold back the army of corpses now soon his soldiers will start feeling the fatigue of fighting an extended battle.
“Those in the back row begin readying the horses we will break out of the encirclement when a chance appears!” Zhang yelled.
Zhang’s soldiers pressed on and hacked away at the corpses they managed to push all the way back to the opening in the wall. During the course of the battle the clouds had parted and the rays from the moon once more shone down. Thanks to this visibility was greatly increased.
“Lu Xun have our men in the front lines swap with those in the middle.” Zhang ordered. He could see some of his men growing tired from the battle.
As Zhang looked around he could see one soldier had gone too far out and was surrounded. If he did not do anything, then most likely the man would be mauled to death so Zhang sprang into action. Skillfully weaving his way through the sea of corpses Zhang made his way to the isolated soldier.
The isolated soldier despite trying very hard to fall back was not able to. The corpses clawed away at his shiny black armor leaving numerous scratch marks on the armor.
“Stay back! Stay back!” The soldier screamed as he swung his sword wildly trying to break free. While swinging wildly the soldier could feel his sword strike into a hard object. When he tried to pull his sword back it did not budge and was stuck. The sword had hit bone and was caught.
“Fuck! Come loose!” The soldier cursed as he tried to free his blade before the corpses swarmed him.
That was when something pulled his leg and caused him to lose his balance and fall onto the hard ground. The soldier watched with panic stricken eyes the dead began clawing at him and tried to rip him apart.
On particular corpse had a large odd looking worm sticking out of its eye socket. This particular corpse moved closer and closer toward the fallen soldier.
But before it could do anything a shining blade could be seen swinging upward cleaving the thing’s head and sending it flying into the distance. As the blade struck the soldier could see the odd looking worm retract inside.
“Are you alright!!?” A voice rang out as a hand appeared pulling the soldier to his feet.
“Ye-yes my lord. Thank you for saving me.” The soldier said gratefully.
“Fallback to the rear line and get some rest!” Zhang yelled as he opened a path.
That was when a voice could be heard in the distance. “My lord!!! The horses are ready!!”
Zhang’s plan was to get all of the corpses to concentrate in one location and then he could light the fort on fire and have his soldiers retreat by knocking down the wall on the opposite end of the fort.
But this was easier said than done. if they left up the offensive for even a moment then they would be overrun. And Zhang definitely did not was to sacrifice any of his men to secure an escape route for himself.
“It’s time for me to show you I can be of use.” Ling murmured as she climbed up the walls and began conjuring her essence.
Soon small blobs of water began appearing around her and the clouds above began spiraling downward. Ling was channeling water from the clouds and the air for her use. Soon a huge pool of water could be seen levitating above her head.
“Water Dragon’s Fury!” Ling yelled as the huge pool of water began turning into the shape of a long serpentine dragon. Under Ling’s control this dragon made of water.
Since there were not enough horses Zhang’s soldiers had to travel with two or three men on a horse. Their added weight had made the horse’s speed drop.
As they rode away from the fort, Zhang turned back as Ling held onto the reigns. In his hand he had a bow and arrow. On the tip of the arrow there was a flickering flame and once Zhang released it, the arrow plunged into the wooden log wall of the fort.
