Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 1959: Fighting Alone Against a Group of Warriors, Riding a Horse and Killing a General, the Power of the Southern Palace
After the main battle ended, Zhu Yuanzhang, Gu Yuan and other rebel kings did not forget to continue chasing and killing the small number of troops that escaped.

Compared with the troops of the Great Wu Dynasty, their numbers of troops were already at an advantage. Even if they were allowed to leave, they still arranged many small troops along the way to continuously block the enemy.

Therefore, even if these people broke out, it did not mean that they could easily escape the clutches of the rebel kings.

"The Southern Army's combat power is so strong that it cannot be underestimated!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, why don't we attack them with our cavalry first, tire them out physically and mentally, and then kill them in one fell swoop!" The rebel king Wang Gaizhi said with great satisfaction as he rode on a big black horse.

After two major battles, the demise of the Wu Kingdom was a foregone conclusion.

After this battle, Great Wu will completely belong to them.

Not only him, but which of the five rebel kings present here is not feeling smug and satisfied now?
"The eight thousand Southern Palace troops are indeed invincible!" The other four rebel kings, including Zhu Yuanzhang, nodded in agreement at this time.

The Southern Palace Army is the most elite force of the Great Wu Dynasty. Almost one-third of the generals of the Great Wu Dynasty have served in the Southern Palace Army. The most famous ones are Ye Changqing, the most powerful general of the Great Wu Dynasty, and Gong Qianzhu, the most skilled archer of the Great Wu Dynasty.

This army had 30,000 men in its heyday, but after so many years of continuous battles, it was reduced to only 8,000 men.

Moreover, this group of Southern Mansion troops is a rare comprehensive elite force. The entire force is not composed of a single type of army, but includes both infantry and cavalry. At its peak, the 10,000 Southern Mansion cavalry were divided into 3,000 heavy cavalry and 7,000 light cavalry.

The cost of forming an army of 20,000 Nanfu infantrymen is even higher than that of cavalrymen. After all, every Nanfu tribe member is a generalist, proficient in spears, swords and axes, bows and arrows, crossbows, swords and knives... not to mention being proficient in all of them, but at least being proficient in most of them to be qualified to be selected as Nanfu infantrymen.

The Southern Infantry was also equipped with horses, but not war horses, but camels and horses. On the one hand, this allowed them to maintain a certain degree of mobility, and on the other hand, it helped them transport their respective weapons and equipment.

Each soldier's diverse weapons and equipment also allow them to cope with various complex battlefield situations.

It can be said that it is more difficult to replenish the Nanfu infantry after they are damaged than to replenish the Nanfu cavalry. Even the reserve forces are very limited in number and have long been consumed in several major battles.

These eight thousand people are the last eight thousand of the Southern Palace Army.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Gaizhi, Gu Yuan and other rebel kings continuously sent out light cavalry to harass along the way, not to kill the enemy but simply to tire them out.

The Wu generals knew that this was not a solution, but they could not think of any good countermeasures.

The most crucial thing is that You Yong, as the commander-in-chief, shamelessly used the Southern Palace Army to attract the attention of the pursuers, while he himself took a few trusted men and escaped through a small road.

In fact, what You Yong didn't know was that he didn't need to run away at all. Zhu Yuanzhang would let him go once, and he would let him go a second time. For Zhu Yuanzhang and other rebel kings, You Yong was their lucky general. It was their greatest luck that the Great Wu could employ a talent like You Yong as a general.

Since the launch of this war, You Yong has been their first hero.

The departure of the commander-in-chief cast an even greater shadow over the already exhausted Southern Army.

Ye Changqing also knew that this was not a solution. If they continued to flee, under the constant harassment of the enemy's light cavalry, they might not only fail to escape, but would be like prey caught in a spider's web, and after exhausting all their strength, they would be easily devoured by the enemy.

Therefore, Ye Changqing simply decided not to run away!

A real man is going to die, so what is there to fear?
Rather than letting the soldiers be slaughtered after being exhausted, it is better to kill them now while they still have the strength to fight for the last time, and fight them so that you will die without regrets!
"Defending the lonely mountain is a dead end!"

Looking at Ye Changqing who was standing firm in his place, ready to fight to the end, the rebel king Han Chen's tone was full of indifference.

Han Chen didn't think that the other party could use such a small hill to stop their million-strong army.

"Although it is a lonely mountain, it has not met our expectations. If this battle continues, it is inevitable that tens of thousands of troops will be killed or injured!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not so optimistic!

With the combat capability of the Southern Army, even if it was just a small hill, it would be impossible for them to completely wipe out this army without paying a price.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Han Chen, Gu Yuan, Wang Gaizhi and Zhang Shicheng, the last five rebel kings of the Great Wu, each of them had at least a dozen fierce generals standing behind them. They looked towards the location of the hillside, and each of them was like a hungry wolf.

Ye Changqing now ranks third on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking. Whoever can chop off his head will become famous in the world in an instant.

Each of the five rebel kings was mobilizing troops.

However, those mobilized were not elite troops, but weak brigades. These troops with weaker combat effectiveness were first used to deplete the number of the Southern Palace Army.

At the foot of the mountain, Ye Changqing held his halberd horizontally, looked down upon the army, and shouted, "I am Ye Changqing, you rats, who dares to fight me?"

Dare to fight me?
Fight with me?
I want a fight?
war?
The echo of Ye Changqing's shouts lingered back and forth at the foot of the mountain, and all the soldiers of the anti-king coalition fell silent.

Fight with Ye Changqing?
Are you kidding? That's not a challenge, it's suicide.

In Da Wu, Ye Changqing's strength has long been beyond doubt! No one is qualified to fight him alone!
Once upon a time, they had united nine generals to fight against Ye Changqing, but the final result was that these nine people were defeated by Ye Changqing alone, and even three of them were killed.

Chi You is now quite popular, and his ranking on the Four-Directions Demon List keeps rising. But when he first debuted, wasn’t he also defeated by Ye Changqing?

Even if they joined forces with other powerful generals from the Nanman and attacked together, they were still no match!

Even though Chi You later broke through and his strength soared, he still lost to Ye Changqing. At most, Ye Changqing wanted to kill him alone, but after this breakthrough, it would be even more difficult.

If these people want to defeat Ye Changqing, it is impossible to fight alone. Going up would simply be suicide. The only way to defeat him is to fight in a group.

Yu Gao was young and hot-tempered, and he was almost the first one who could not help but rush out to kill. Fortunately, he was stopped in time by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Lu Ju, a fierce general under Zhang Shicheng, clenched the gilded halberd in his hand and wanted to fight with Ye Changqing, but was also stopped by Zhang Shicheng.

The remaining generals including Yu Wenlong, Xiao Hu, Zhang Guitian, Wang Zhenyuan, etc. were also stopped one by one.

Ye Changqing is now in a desperate situation, and is basically dead. However, precisely because he is doomed to die, Ye Changqing's counterattack before death must be extremely terrifying. The five rebel kings do not want to see their own generals die in Ye Changqing's dying counterattack. After all, it is not worth it to perish together with a dying person!

Seeing that no one in the anti-king coalition army was willing to fight at this time, Ye Changqing's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he laughed wantonly: "You are indeed a bunch of rats. A million troops, but no one dares to fight me. If it weren't for You Yong's incompetence, I would never have been defeated by you rats."

Ye Changqing's humiliating words caused an uproar among all the rebel generals. The generals who had a little self-respect were humiliated and immediately asked their lord for permission to go to war. The result was naturally two words: not allowed.

"It's just a show of force!"

Han Chen waved his hand with a gloomy look, and countless soldiers rushed towards Lonely Mountain. The soldiers of the Southern Army stationed on Lonely Mountain immediately formed a defensive formation.

The first thing Ye Changqing did after arriving at Gushan was to order his soldiers to establish a defense line on the spot, and also asked the soldiers to eat and drink water to replenish their strength!

The Southern Army, which was considered the most elite in the Wu State, did not become corrupt like many other Wu State armies, and still maintained the spirit of an elite battalion. Even in a situation where there was no way out, each of them was serious and ready for battle.

Facing the rebel king's troops, the Southern Army soldiers also displayed their due combat qualities. Six to eight people formed a small team. Each team, with long-range and short-range weapons, coordinated with each other and stationed at the foot of the mountain and on the hillside.

The teams also cooperate with each other and defend each other's flanks.

Under the defense of such a well-trained and powerful force, the rebel king's first wave of offensive failed. Although there were heavy casualties, the damage to the Southern Palace Army was extremely limited.

Even Shi Wuji, a general under Han Chen's command, was killed by a halberd when Ye Changqing led a team of Southern Cavalry to charge into the battle formation.

"Keep fighting!"

"We have a million troops. If we divide them into groups and fight day and night, we will tire them out!"

In the first wave, they lost a total of more than 2,000 people, but this did not affect Zhu Yuanzhang at all.

No matter how elite the Southern Army is, their numbers are limited. If one dies, one less. Even if they have to fight to the death, they must kill them all one by one.

Moreover, this army broke out in a hurry and did not carry much food and fodder. If they were surrounded on this isolated mountain, they would starve to death.

However, the tenacity of Ye Changqing and the Nanfu Army still exceeded Zhu Yuanzhang and his men's imagination. The Nanfu Army did have no food or fodder, but they had horses.

Even the infantry of this unit were equipped with horses, although they were camels and horses, but at this time it was just the right time to kill them to meet the needs of food and fodder.

The Southern Army did not collapse due to food problems, but because of the non-stop fighting day and night, the soldiers were exhausted to a certain extent, and the casualty rate continued to rise.

After eight consecutive days of bloody fighting, the Southern Army was almost wiped out, and the last remaining people were all injured. Within eight days, the casualties of the rebel army exceeded 30,000.

The outcome may very well be decided on this day.

When this day arrived, Ye Changqing's heart became even calmer. Today he did not personally participate in the battle, but instead focused on regulating his breathing and adjusting his condition to the peak, preparing for his final battle.

The shouting and screaming on the battlefield became quieter and quieter, but closer and closer. Ye Changqing knew that the enemy was not far from reaching the top of the hill.

He suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, stood up, raised his halberd, and took out something from the gap in the armor on his chest, but put it back with a serious expression, and then climbed back on his horse.

"kill……"

Surrounded by countless soldiers and horses, Ye Changqing actually took the initiative to launch a sprint.

"Ye Changqing is here, you rat, give me your life!"

"Ding, Ye Changqing's martial arts skill is activated, force +4, basic force 109, Tianluo Ji +1, stepping on the cloud black smoke beast +1, Nanfu +1, +4, the current force rises to 120.

Ye Changqing, Command 90, Force 109, Intelligence 95, Politics 79, Charisma 92."

The rebel general Zhang Guitian had just fought his way to the top of the mountain when an overwhelming halberd shadow came crashing down at him. He instinctively raised the spear in his hand to block it, but like a meteorite hitting the earth, an unstoppable force fell on his spear, causing his arms to go numb. He couldn't even hold the spear in his hand, and the halberd pierced through his chest so easily.

It's a pity that he was a powerful warrior at the peak of the heavenly level. He was only in his twenties and still had a certain possibility of breaking through to that stage. However, he died so easily at the hands of Ye Changqing.

In the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, Yun Yizhi, who was once ranked second, was already comparable to Ye Shangjue in terms of pure speed, but he lagged behind in other aspects.

However, Ye Changqing was completely the opposite. In terms of strength, he was definitely a top-notch figure in the world. In fact, in terms of strength, he might even be better than Ye Shangjue.

Perhaps the two of them have the same strength, but the weight of the weapons in their hands is completely different. There will naturally be some slight differences in the performance of pure strength.

Just as Yun Yizhi has strength defects, Ye Changqing himself also has his own defects.

He hit him with all his strength. Zhang Guitian was in such a hurry and didn't use any skills. He just used pure strength. How could he possibly withstand it?
"Listen now, all the soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy. Even if you die today, you will not tarnish the reputation of our great Wu warriors!" Ye Changqing roared, sweeping the long spear in his hand continuously.

"Men of the Southern Army, regroup. Today, Yi and the other troops will go to hell together!"

The commander of the Southern Army, Cao Yi, took over the flag of the Southern Army from the soldier carrying the banner nearby. The soldiers of the Southern Army, who had been retreating all the way, quickly gathered around Cao Yi.

However, the Southern Army, which was once regarded as the sharpest weapon of the Great Wu, now had less than a thousand people left.

However, although there were only a thousand or so people left, and everyone was injured, these thousand people were like wounded beasts, ready to devour anyone.

Cao Yi's legion skill, Nanfu, although the normal increase is not high, only a little, is much worse than most legion skills.

However, if it is in a desperate situation, it can produce an extreme effect. Even after reaching a certain level, it can amplify not only a single Southern Army, but can even expand to a larger area.

With the increase in the skills of the Southern Mansion Army, although there are not many people left in the Southern Mansion Army, their combat capability can be said to have risen to a large level compared to normal circumstances!

The more desperate the situation, the more powerful the fighting power of these beasts can be, and the more difficult it is to withstand their counterattack.
