Chapter 193 Killing the Martial Saint
Above the vast white desert.

The soldiers of Hongze Camp began to use the materials collected from the barbarian tribes along the way to build a pontoon bridge across the wide Agate River. This pontoon bridge, built in a short time, can basically only accommodate one person.

After the army crosses the river, it will inevitably be discovered. At that time, it will be basically impossible to retreat and let the enemy watch you cross the bridge one by one.

therefore.

After crossing the river, if you fail, you will die.

There is no escape route.

And they.

Fifteen thousand people.

Facing the pursuit and blockade of an army of 100,000, they had to capture the large stronghold guarded by the Martial Saint in front, and after replenishing supplies, they quickly headed north and left.

Even any military strategist would say that this is an impossible task if they saw it.

……

Agate River.

Barbarian stronghold.

"Report——"

"Your Majesty!"

"After passing Fengshuang City, Hongze Camp marched northwards and slaughtered five of our tribes. They were so powerful that they have now arrived at the Agate River. By the time we found them, they were almost done crossing the river!"

"..."

"Fourth Uncle, they are here as expected!"

The ninth prince, Yuwen Xin, was a little excited and nervous. His palms holding the sword were sweating. He said, "No matter what, I am also Chen Sanshi's old enemy!
“At the beginning, he was just an unknown pawn, and his first enemy was me!

"Now, his fame has shaken the world, but it is me who is standing in his way!

"I, Yuwen Xin, am Chen Sanshi's old enemy!"

"Okay, this is the momentum we want!"

Yuwen Jingwen said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, the whole army is on alert, if the Hongze camp really dares to cross the river, they will never return!"

……

Liangzhou.

"Rumble--"

The blood sacrifice formation accelerated.

The blood mist surging out of the black vortex completely obscured the entire sky.

then……

The sky is falling!
That’s right, the sky is falling!

Everyone could clearly see that the sky was getting lower and lower, and the distance between the blood mist and the ground was rapidly shortening, as if it would fall at any time and completely swallow up the earth.

"Da da da--"

Walking on the street, from time to time, birds with their wings touching the blood mist would fall from the sky, hit the ground, and then turn into blood in people's eyes.

"God damned!"

"This... is this God's will?!"

"Oh my God!"

"Don't panic—"

"There is no divine punishment. It's all the evil people from the Wushen Cult who are causing trouble!"

"My Beiliang Army is outside the city trying to rescue you!"

The Beiliang army trapped in the city and unable to leave were naturally responsible for maintaining order.

"magician?!"

"Can the evil spirits of the Wushen Cult cover up the sky?!"

The more you say this.

People became more and more frightened.

"I told you not to mess around!"

"There is an army outside the city that will rescue us!"

"Sir, aren't you all in the city? Who are the generals outside the city?"

"Lü Ji, General Lu, and Chen Sanshi, General Chen!"

"General Chen is outside?!"

Hear the words.

People's emotions suddenly stabilized a lot.

"Help!"

"We can still be saved!"

"Master Chen will definitely save us!"

"Yeah!"

"strangeness……"

A lieutenant general stopped a civilian and asked, "Why don't you mention General Lu, but only General Chen? Isn't General Lu brave?"

"Who in the world doesn't know that General Lu is brave?!"

"But what does that have to do with us?"

"..."

……

The Governor's Mansion.

"What a good thing!"

Sun Buqi paced back and forth in the yard.

Who would have thought.

A peaceful Northern Expedition turned out like this.

"This time, even Dad is trapped!"

Sun Buqi said, "Does it all depend on Senior Brother and Sanshi? But I heard that Sanshi didn't go to Youzhou, but ran to Mobei. Isn't something wrong? Doesn't that mean my sister will be a widow before she gets married?"

"Master, if you keep talking nonsense, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the master!"

The butler rolled up his sleeves and pretended to fight.

He said he was a housekeeper, but in fact he was also one of the earliest brothers to follow Sun Xiangzong.

Sun Li sat in the room, looking at the red clouds in the sky through the window. His cheeks and pupils were reflected in a bloody red color, so that his true expression could not be seen clearly.

"Second mother, why did the clouds in the sky turn red?
Chen Yunxi hid beside the woman: "People outside say that there is a monster that wants to eat us."

"Xixi, don't be afraid."

Sun Li held the little girl's hand and said, "Your father will definitely pick us up. Hey, what did you call me just now?"

"Second mother."

Chen Yunxi said seriously.

……

Great Wall.

"How about it?!"

"Have all the letters been sent?"

"Your Highness, they have all been sent out! We have also told them that the area around the Agate River is now heavily besieged and they cannot go there no matter what."

"I hope Chen Sanshi can wake up in time."

Cao Huan paced non-stop, and only sat down when he was really exhausted: "Turn back, there is still time to participate in the war in Youzhou, otherwise there will be no turning back."

"almost."

Cheng Wei fiddled with his abacus, calculating the journey time carefully: "General Lu has almost reached Youzhou. If General Chen returns along the same route, it will only take about 20 days. There will be no problem."

"Well, then..."

"Report!"

A fast horse came to the front of the tent.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"General Chen replied!"

"Instead of turning back, they sped across the river, saying they were going to fight to the bitter end and chop off Yuwen Jingwen's head and have the divine eagle bring it back to Your Highness!"

"What? Didn't I tell him that the barbarian army was gathering towards the Agate River? Isn't it ridiculous to fight a desperate battle?"

Cao Huan was already dissatisfied with the other party's disobedience. After repeated persuasion failed, he became even more angry. He pointed to the Agate River on the map and said, "This river is wide. Once you cross the river, there is no way back. I just want to save him. Can't he see that?"

No matter what.

Chen Sanshi was also one of the precious "treasures" of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

Cao Huan was reluctant to let him die.

Sometimes I get angry.

It's more of a fear of loss.

"A last-ditch battle..."

Zhao Wuji muttered, “From past experience, Lord Chen likes to accumulate momentum on the battlefield. I can understand his thinking, but this time the situation is different.

"With the Agate River at our backs, it's like a trapped beast fighting. In theory, it can boost morale for a short time, but there's a Martial Saint on the other side. Once the battle becomes unfavorable, the Agate River's role will change from boosting morale to being the last straw that breaks the camel's back, because they know they have nowhere to escape, and will completely collapse. They may even surrender to the enemy."

To die and then to live.

This sentence sounds easy, but only generals who have actually led troops in battles know how difficult it is in reality. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Because when a group of people are facing a desperate situation, instead of bursting out with an unprecedented fighting spirit, they are more likely to... be scared to death!
The Battle of Hulao Pass is the best proof of this.

"As the saying goes, 'It's hard to persuade a damned devil with good words'!"

An old veteran said: "Since we really can't stop him, let him go."

"Yes."

Cao Huan put down the letter and sighed, "I just hope General Lu will not let us down."

……

Youzhou.

After a long journey.

Lu Ji finally led his troops to Youzhou.

Looking around, there was a huge gap in the Great Wall that was thousands of miles long. It looked like a giant dragon or python that was bitten in half by another ferocious beast.

There were thousands of barbarian soldiers left at this gap.

"Boss!"

Nie Yuan caught up and said, "We have found out. There are 5,000 barbarian soldiers ahead, the remaining 50,000 are in Licheng Prefecture, and the 100,000 troops are camped near Zhutuo Pass.

“After passing through the Great Wall ahead, we will enter the territory of Youzhou.

"Do you want me to send a few dozen light cavalry to test the strength of the Great Wall garrison?"

"Need not."

Lu Ji held the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, his eyes fixed on the Great Wall in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order down, transfer a thousand soldiers from the White Tiger Camp to follow me and charge directly into the formation!"

"it is good!"

Nie Yuan immediately went to make arrangements.

The two brothers have been partners for a long time.

This has always been the tactic.

When encountering the enemy, Lu Ji would rush in alone with a small number of soldiers and horses to break through the enemy's formation. Whenever he could gain an advantage, the main army would rush forward and directly defeat the enemy.

If they fell into an ambush, the loss would only be a thousand or so people. Lu Ji would be able to fight his way out, and Nie Yuan would be responsible for the rear of the army.

Of course, in most cases, Lu Ji would lead thousands of cavalrymen into the enemy army, immediately frighten them, and then he would continue to advance like an unstoppable force until he achieved a great victory.

This is the domineering style of Lu Ji's marching. He relies on his invincible bravery and bloody killings to intimidate the enemy, thus keeping the enemy on the brink of collapse.

Today is no exception!
"Boom boom boom——"

"hiss--"

The horse neighs fiercely, the sound of its hooves is like drums, its red hair is like fire, and its breath produces smoke.

On horseback.

A fierce general wearing red lacquered armor and dragging a Fang Tian Hua Ji on the ground, tearing the earth and leaving gullies.

One man and one horse, like a mountain god descending, rushed straight into the enemy camp.

"Shengren!"

"Enemy attack!"

"It's Lu Ji!"

"..."

The barbarian general stationed at the gap in the Great Wall immediately identified the person and said, "Hurry up and inform the prince and the immortal master that Lu Ji is coming. The rest of you, follow me to form a battle array to stop him. Stop him, stop him!"

"boom--"

In front of the military camp.

No matter whether it was caltrops or chevaux de frise, in front of the flaming horses and the Fang Tian Hua Ji, they were as fragile as paper and could not stop them for even a moment.

"what!"

Seeing the enemy army breaking into the camp, the barbarian general shouted loudly, picked up a saber and rushed towards them.

"boom--"

however.

But one blow.

The barbarian general and his horse were turned into a pool of rotten meat.

With the death of the general, the garrison became scattered in an instant. Lu Ji went completely into a state of rage, and wherever he went, it was as if he was in an empty space. With his one thousand soldiers, he killed five thousand barbarian soldiers and made them throw away their weapons and armor.

Half an hour later.

The Xuanwu Camp and the White Tiger Camp rushed into Youzhou and met up with Xu Wencai and others in a small town.

"General Lu, I finally got you!"

Fan Hailing was ecstatic, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Yes General!"

Pei Tiannan also stepped forward to greet them: "With the reinforcements that have arrived in recent days, plus the Black Tortoise Camp and the White Tiger Camp, we now have nearly 80,000 troops, and three Martial Saints, so we may be able to fight them!"

"It's a pity that Hongze Camp didn't arrive."

Fan Hailing said: "Otherwise, we would have nearly 100,000 soldiers, which would not be much different from the barbarians. Our chances of winning would still be much higher. It's a pity..."

"General Lu."

Xu Wencai approached with a feather fan and asked, "How is the strength of the Agate River's troops?"

"I just got the news too."

Lü Ji pointed at the map with his bloody hand and said, "Yuwen Jingwen has mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers from various nearby tribes to chase and intercept us. Once we cross the Agate River, we will be dead."

It is true that his marching strategy was mainly based on hegemony.

But this does not mean that no judgment is made. Instead, only after determining the chances of winning and the price to be paid if failed, will one fight to the death and intimidate the enemy with brutal means.

If you attack the enemy as soon as you see them, that is not being domineering, that is being brainless. Being rough but meticulous and remaining undefeated is the real domineering, which can make the enemy tremble in fear.

That's why.

In his judgment.

Going north to the desert is not only a long journey, but also requires facing the Martial Saint and more soldiers and horses. The difficulty of the two is basically the same, so naturally one has to choose a more time-saving way.

True.

After destroying the main array eye, everyone will be saved, but the auxiliary array eye may not be able to save everyone in time.

But in life, you always have to make choices.

"Yuwen Jingwen, who is good at using meteor hammers, is a famous general of the Yuwen clan. He is known for his bravery and calmness. He is also a martial saint. With so many soldiers and horses, no matter how he calculates, General Chen will not be able to leave the Agate River smoothly."

Pei Tiannan asked, "I wonder if you have informed General Chen of this situation and asked him to turn back immediately. He may not be able to catch up with the attack on Licheng Prefecture, but he should be able to help us in the final battle at Zhutuo Pass."

"Your Highness, I and I both wrote several letters to him in a row."

Lu Ji paused, "But General Chen still insisted on his own ideas."

"This……"

Fan Hailing said with a sigh: "What a pity!"

in fact.

For them, 15,000 soldiers and horses were not a fatal loss, but it was a pity that such a young and famous general like Chen Sanshi died during the training.

"Don't talk about this."

Xu Wencai interrupted, "Let's talk about how to take over Licheng Prefecture and then quickly attack Zhutuo Pass. The power of the blood sacrifice formation is getting stronger and stronger."

……

Daqing.

Beijing.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The air is filled with incense and it is quiet and peaceful.

Behind the curtain.

The empress did not touch her hands with ink, but simply waved her scarlet nail polish lightly, and the memorials in front of her automatically turned the pages and annotated them. Even so, faced with the mountain of memorials, it still took her four full hours, from morning to dusk, and there were still many that had not been processed.

"Aunt, Auntie..."

An indistinct baby voice was heard.

"Stop making noise, I'm telling you to stop making noise."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa -"

In the cradle, the half-grown baby burst into tears.

"..."

The empress was really impatient and just pointed with her slender finger.

A ray of spiritual light flowed, and after landing on the cradle, it began to rock automatically.

"Sister, this mortal is hungry."

The empress noticed that there was no one around her: "Sister?"

No one answered.

"Someone, keep an eye on the prince."

After giving the order, the empress put down the memorials she had not yet finished reviewing and walked towards the depths of the palace.

As soon as she leaves.

The baby started crying again.

"Yes!"

The two palace maids who were guarding outside the palace rushed into the palace in a panic after hearing the call. They shook rattles, made faces, and tried every way to make the baby happy.

"Your Highness, could you please stop crying?"

"Your Majesty will punish us when he returns later!"

"..."

"Hey, who did your Majesty and the prince have?"

Ling'er muttered quietly.

After the Battle of Hulao Pass.

Their Emperor Daqing went on a long journey, and when he came back, there was this child and a woman.

Your Majesty said.

The child is her child.

The woman is the child's aunt.

But no one knows who your Majesty's husband, or the father of the child, is.

"You don't want your tongue?"

The palace maid Chun Er reminded: "Stay true to your duty."

……

At the deepest part of the palace, there was a door.

Gu Xinlan, dressed in dignified and luxurious clothes, stood in front of the door, her white goose neck exposed. She looked at the red light in the distance in the sky. Her dark eyebrows were filled with sorrow, and her delicate hands were clasped together nervously.

"Sister?"

The empress said somewhat displeasedly: "Didn't we agree that you would learn how to handle government affairs from me?"

"Gui Di, you've come just in time, come and take a look."

Gu Xinlan held her sister's hand and pointed to the west: "Is that Liangzhou? What happened? Why is the sky turning red?"

Before she left, she guessed that something was going to happen, but she only thought it might be a war.

If a fighting breaks out, it will be the same as in Poyang, and she would be a burden to migrate back and forth, so we took her across the river to Daqing. We didn't expect that this "matter" would be so big.

"Don't be afraid, sister."

The empress’s voice was cold, but her words were warm: “If the witch god cult’s demon is really successful and the ancient demon cultivators flood into Dongsheng Shenzhou, I will take you away from here and find a way to return to the immortal world.

"If the demon's plan fails, there's nothing to worry about."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Gu Xinlan explained: "Your brother-in-law is still in Liangzhou. What should we do with him? Gui Di, don't you know magic? Otherwise, go over and take a look and bring your brother-in-law here as well."

"Sister, why do you keep talking about that lecher who visits brothels day and night?"

The empress said coldly: "Do you know that he got engaged to the daughter of Sun Xiangzong only half a year after you left?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Gu Xinlan said as a matter of course: "Didn't your father take a concubine? Moreover, Master Sun is your brother-in-law's master. Master means father's order. How can you disobey it?

“Don’t talk about him.

"Let me talk about you. It's being said all over the court that you have eighteen male lovers!"

"..."

The empress couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister, what's so good about the surname Chen? Why can't you forget him? I can give you everything he can give you, and I can also give you what he can't give you!

“If the Wushen Cult fails this time.

"In the future, Daqing will be the support I leave for you and Chen Duhe. What can a man named Chen give you?
"After all, he is just an ordinary official. The old emperor of the Sheng Dynasty is stupid and suspicious. He might take his life one day. You can't live a peaceful life with him."

"Can't you bring your brother-in-law over as well?"

"He can't possibly want to."

"Then we have to save him."

"It's impossible to save him. It depends on his own fate."

The empress dragged the dragon robe away and disappeared.

……

Agate River.

Snowy river bank.

All the soldiers of Hongze Camp successfully passed the pontoon bridge.

Fifty miles ahead of them was the largest barbarian camp within a radius of thousands of miles. Although its solidity was not as strong as a real city, it was still far superior to any ordinary camp.

The most important thing is that there is a Martial Saint in charge, with 50,000 soldiers who are well-rested and waiting for the opportunity, and countless barbarian tribes are gathering from all directions.

Ten days!

If they cannot leave this place within ten days, what awaits them is a siege of 100,000 soldiers and three martial saints!
"grown ups!"

Xia Cong shook off the ice and snow on his body, clasped his fists and said, "What should we do next?"

"Sir, why don't we just go back the same way?"

Chu Shixiong put away the information he had just received.

Liangzhou realized that writing a letter to Chen Sanshi was useless.

I just started writing letters to Chu Shixiong.

He said, "It's not too late before the war starts."

"Whoever talks about retreating again will be beheaded!"

Chen Sanshi's voice was louder than the wind and snow: "I only had 3,000 men at Hulao Pass, but I still defeated 100,000 and captured Fan Shuzhen alive! Today, I have 15,000 men. Could it be that all of you who have just joined the Hongze Camp are cowards? Are you dragging down the combat effectiveness of our army?!"

"General!"

"We will never retreat!"

"I will never give up!"

"Behead Yuwen Jingwen!"

"..."

The brothers from Poyang and the original 3,000 black armors shouted together, and the rest of the Hongze Camp soldiers also followed suit, with a loud voice.

"Someone, take down the floating bridge for me!"

Chen Sanshi gave the order.

"Yes!"

Several officers immediately did so.

In front of 15,000 soldiers, the pontoon bridge was completely dismantled.

burn one's boats!

Go forward with courage!

Chu Shixiong dared not mention retreating again. He asked, "General, in that case, let's march as soon as possible. I have explored before. Ten miles ahead, outside the barbarian camp, the terrain is open and suitable for our cavalry to form a formation. If something goes wrong, we can still take a detour to the northwest for a while."

"No, pass on my military order!"

Chen Sanshi stood on a high place: "Right here, on the bank of the Agate River, set up the military formation!"

"Right here?"

Chu Shixiong turned around and looked at the cold river water under his feet: "If I take a step back, I will fall into the river."

"Then, don't retreat a single step!"

"Array up!"

"..."

……

Barbarian stronghold.

"Fourth Uncle!
The ninth prince Yuwen Xin hurried into the tent and said, "They are here! They are all here! Last night, Chen Sanshi crossed the river smoothly!"

"Ah."

Yuwen Jingwen asked, "Is their main force camped ten miles outside my main camp?"

"No."

Yuwen Xin replied: "After crossing the river, they first dismantled the pontoon bridge themselves, and then did not move forward a single step, but lined up their troops on the spot."

"Oh? After dismantling the floating bridge, it still backs onto the Agate River?"

Yuwen Jingwen, who had been calm all this time, finally showed some surprise on his face. He squinted his eyes and stared at the Agate River on the map: "It seems that this guy is really determined to fight me to the death here!
"Good nephew, are you sure that all the troops of Hongze Camp are here?"

"Sure!"

Yuwen Xin said confidently: "We have explored back and forth many times, and there are at least 12,000 people on the river bank, which is basically the entire army."

After all, it is impossible to observe the number of enemy troops accurately to the single digit, and we can only have a rough estimate.

The first battalion is fully staffed with 15,000 men.

There are at least twelve thousand people, and considering the casualties along the way, that is almost all the main force. There will be no reinforcements from Shengren here.

"last question."

Yuwen Jingwen asked, "Are Chen Sanshi and Chu Shixiong here?"

People with the surname Chen are very cunning.

He also had to be on guard against an ambush by a general.

"They're all here!"

The ninth prince Yuwen Xin said: "Not only are Chen Sanshi and Chu Shixiong here, but the twelfth prince of the old emperor of Sheng Dynasty, Prince of Yan Cao Zhi, is also here, there will be no mistakes!"

"try again."

Yuwen Jingwen was not in a hurry.

"Report——"

Just in time.

The soldiers came to report.

"Chen Sanshi and Chu Shixiong led several hundred people to challenge the enemy outside the stronghold!"

"Well done!"

"Wow--"

Yuwen Jingwen stood up suddenly.

I saw that his arms were wrapped with a thick layer of black iron chains, which made a "rustling" sound when he walked. The end of the chain on his right hand was connected to a huge ball of metal.

Meteor hammer!
The round hammer is covered with sharp cones on its surface and its diameter is more than half a person's height.

"Boom!"

Dragged by Yuwen Jingwen, who was as big as an ox, the meteor hammer began to move, like an iron mountain moving.

"Fourth uncle."

The Ninth Prince Yuwen Xin said, "You want to do it yourself so soon? Why don't you wait and send two generals out to compete with Chen Sanshi first?"

"Nephew, uncle asks you."

Yuwen Jingwen stepped into the snow, saying as he walked: "Do you know why Nanxu Fan Shuzhen, who had 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Lingsuan Ran Jingxuan, the son of the Tiger, served as his military advisor, was defeated in the Battle of Hulao?"

"because……"

Yuwen Xin thought carefully and replied, "Chen Sanshi is full of tricks?"

"wrong."

"I admit that he is extremely brave."

"No, think again."

"Could it be because he was accompanied by Deng Feng, the surrendered general of Qing State, and Fang Qingyun, Mr. Fengchu?"

"None of it is right."

Yuwen Jingwen taught him carefully: "Fan Shuzhen's defeat was due to hesitation!"

People in the Central Plains say that the barbarians are ignorant of military tactics.

But actually.

Each of them has been familiar with military books since childhood.

Whenever a war breaks out, it will be reviewed one by one based on the intelligence collected.

It can be said that Chen Sanshi has studied every battle thoroughly.

Hulao Pass is naturally no exception.

At first.

If the 100,000-strong army of Nanxu had not hesitated in Lingzhou, but had directly attacked Hulao Pass, there would not have been all the trouble that followed?

If you hesitate, you will lose!
Today is no exception!
Now that we have figured out the enemy's movements and personnel distribution, what else is there to wait for?

Send a general out to test it?
That's not a temptation.

It's a suicide mission!

Yuwen Jingwen knew that, except for the Martial Saint, no one in this world could stop the man named Chen.

Before a war begins, if a general dies first on your side, it will only damage morale.

It is the best option for him to take action personally.

No matter how many tricks you, Chen Sanshi, have, you won’t be able to use them if you are slapped to death!

……

In front of Dazhai.

"Barbarian thief!"

Chu Shixiong raised his sword and shouted at the barbarian soldiers on the sentry tower: "You barbarians are known for your bravery, but why do you hide in the city when you see us? Are you afraid?!"

"You are so bold, Shengren, you are about to die, and you still dare to be stubborn!"

The barbarian general Magata could no longer tolerate this and immediately ordered 300 light cavalry to go out of the city to fight.

That's when he left the city gate.

Then, beside Chu Shixiong, in the heavy snow, a general in a white robe was seen drawing his bow and arrow.

"Om-"

A black dragon tore through the air and suddenly appeared between the white sky and earth.

Magatala roared and was about to behead the dragon with the scimitar in his hand, but as the arrow got closer, he felt how powerful and violent the energy it carried was. Compared with that, his own energy was like a star meeting the bright moon. He could foresee his own fate before he was touched by the arrow. The dragon quickly twisted and deformed in his eyes, like a big word "death" rushing towards him.

"boom--"

Just when Magatala almost gave up resistance, an iron mountain fell in front of him, blocking the inexorable arrows and smashing the black dragon!

"Your Majesty?!"

He looked back.

Then he saw Yuwen Jingwen, who was as big as a mountain and wearing sable armor, riding on an extremely sturdy black horse. He slowly retracted the meteor hammer. Behind him, the gate of the stronghold was completely opened, and neatly arranged barbarian cavalry swarmed out.

After he saw Chen Sanshi and Chu Shixiong a mile away and confirmed that it was them, he no longer had any concerns.

The first battle is the decisive battle!

"Magatale, I'll leave you two thousand men to guard the stronghold."

Yuwen Jingwen's resounding voice almost changed the trajectory of the wind and snow, resounding in everyone's ears:

"All the rest of you brothers, follow me out of the village!
"The Sheng people are now at the end of their rope and have no way to retreat. We just need to push forward. If they take half a step back, they will fall into the Agate River!
"In this battle, anyone who beheads one person will be able to exchange it for five acres of good farmland and two female slaves in the Central Plains in the future!

"Come with me and kill all the Sheng people!"

Scarce land in the desert!

Women from the Central Plains with different appearances!
Wealth, status!
After winning this battle, everything will be there!
Liangzhou is about to be refined, and everyone knows that the immortals are preparing to take over Dongsheng Shenzhou and hand it over to them to rule. Now is the time to make achievements and strive for benefits and status.

"kill--"

For a while.

The barbarian cavalry were filled with murderous intent. They lined up in neat rows and charged forward. Their momentum was so great that the snow on the nearby hillsides fell off at a speed visible to the naked eye under the earthquake.

……

"Walk."

Chen Sanshi did not linger in the battle and led his men back to the Agate River.

in front of him.

They are the 13,000 soldiers of the Hongze Camp, who are also arranged neatly and in strict order!
The scarlet military flag danced wildly in the snowstorm.

The war drums sound like the thunder god’s help.

Not only the barbarians knew what they could have after victory.

The soldiers of Hongze Camp knew better what the consequences would be after failure.

It's not just that he died in battle.

Instead, their parents, wives, children, and even all their old friends will become materials for the furnace.

and so.

This battle.

You can only win, not lose!
Their momentum, murderous intent and will to die are all inferior to those of the barbarians. If someone could fly thousands of feet high into the sky and overlook the battlefield, he would be able to see two invisible auras hovering above the two armies.

"Hongze Camp!"

"charge--"

In front of the battle.

Chen Sanshi reined in his horse and stopped.

He pointed his spear at the surging barbarian cavalry.

"kill!"

"kill--"

"kill!!!!!"

"boom!"

The soldiers of the Hongze Camp rushed past Chen Sanshi one after another, like a river that had split into two branches and then gathered again in front, and then became even more turbulent, engaging in close combat with the 50,000 barbarian soldiers and horses. Immediately, there was a loud noise when the horses of both sides collided with each other. From a distance, it looked like an erupting wave crashing into each other, and they fell into an extremely grand melee.

This battle.

Although Chen Sanshi used the strange military formation from the Heavenly Book, he did not use the Black Pearl, so there would be no celestial support. It all depended on his brothers, fighting with blood!

In the melee.

He looked towards Dazhai.

Now it is time for Wang Zhi to take action.

……

Inside Dazhai.

Magata paced back and forth, feeling somewhat envious of the brothers outside.

After this battle, many people will be rewarded, but I have to guard the camp here.

But thinking back, if the prince had not intervened, he would have died under the arrow of the man in white robe. Saving his life is better than anything else, and he will have the opportunity to earn credit in the future.

"Report!"

"General!"

"Oh no!"

"There are enemy troops!"

"A group of cavalry suddenly appeared in the northwest, also carrying the banner of Hongze Camp!"

"..."

"What did you say?"

Magatala asked.

From the west side of the stronghold, the sound of fighting could be heard.

The big village is not like a city. It is built with wood. If there are not enough people defending it, it is easy to break in.

"how many people?!"

"About two thousand people!"

"Don't panic!"

Magata said calmly: "Chen Sanshi and Chu Shixiong are both outside, and the one who came is at most a lieutenant general!"

General Xuan Xiang.

There are numbers for all of them!

There are a total of three people above Xuanxiang in the Xuanwu Camp and the White Tiger Camp, including Lu Ji, Nie Yuan, and Guan Daowu. They have all appeared in Youzhou and it is impossible for them to appear here.

The man named Chen is just a desperate person.

I want to try the camp robbery trick!
Magatala immediately dispatched troops and fought with the enemy troops that broke into the stronghold.

In chaos.

He quickly locked onto the enemy general.

Mysterious phenomenon...

It’s a mysterious phenomenon!
I saw it among the crowd.

One of them held a Mo Dao in his hand, and every blow of his sword carried a rolling aura. Blood splattered everywhere, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The two lieutenant generals who tried to stop him were beheaded on the spot and their bodies were torn into pieces.

"impossible!"

Magatala was shocked and asked, "Who are you?"

"I don't like people to die knowingly!"

in a blink.

Wang Zhi came in front of Magatala.

His Xuanwu Tiangang force is powerful and strong.

After only seven or eight rounds.

Magatal was unable to withstand the attack. Although there were no injuries on the surface of his body, his internal organs were already bleeding. The injuries spread from the inside out until they affected his meridians, causing him to show many flaws.

Wang Zhi stabbed the opponent's heart with a knife. Magatala grabbed the blade tightly to prevent him from pulling it out. He then raised his leg and kicked him out as if he had the power of a dragon and an elephant.

After Magatala fell to the ground, the fingers that had been grasping the blade were scattered all over the ground. The blood that continued to flow out of his heart quickly dyed the snow red. He was barely holding on with only his last breath.

"Keng!"

The Mo Dao was raised above his head.

Magata, who was about to die, actually grinned and said through gritted teeth: "Chen Sanshi is really cunning, he even hid a Xuanxiang Dacheng like you!
"But you're still doomed to lose!
“There is no city here.

"Even if you take it down, what's the use?
"As long as the prince is still here, it won't take an hour to wipe you all out. You..."

"Click——"

Wang Zhi was in no mood to listen to his nonsense, so he immediately raised his sword and killed him.

Under his leadership, they captured the stronghold at the fastest speed at the cost of only a hundred casualties, and then began to make arrangements according to the requirements on the brocade bag.

but……

There was no joy on his face.

Instead, he came to the top of the watchtower and looked at the battlefield in the distance with an extremely solemn expression.

Magatala is right.

If one wants to defeat the enemy by attacking their camp or stronghold, one must either not have a huge disparity in troop strength, or kill the enemy's main general, thus creating a leaderless situation and causing chaos.

But in the current situation, they only have two thousand people.

As for the general.

That Yuwen Jingwen is a Martial Saint.

unless……

Junior brother can kill this Martial Saint.

Otherwise, all strategies will be in vain.

……

Agate River.

On the battlefield.

at first.

The barbarian cavalry had the upper hand by virtue of their numbers.

But soon, the soldiers of Hongze Camp stabilized the situation.

【Backbone】

All soldiers, stay calm in the face of danger!
【How can you say you have no clothes】

All soldiers work together and the battle effectiveness of the formation increases dramatically!
【War Frenzy】

After the bloodbath, he went completely berserk.

Fifteen thousand people are running wild!
They forgot their fear, forgot everything, and the only thing left in their minds was "kill the enemy."

With the blessing of each entry.

Even though the Hongze Battalion was facing an enemy force several times larger than their own, and even though their comrades were falling down all the time, they still maintained their formation like cold machines. But their blood was hot, and no one retreated!

They did it. Even if many brothers died, no one took a step back!
Even death!

They also died on the banks of the Agate River, not a single one of them, and their bodies fell into the river.

Such a terrifying fighting spirit.

It's something no one has ever seen before.

Even Yuwen Jingwen admired him from the bottom of his heart.

How long will it take for the Hongze Camp to be fully staffed?

Chen Sanshi can turn them into a group of fierce warriors like Deadpool!

"boom--"

Yuwen Jingwen was filled with rage, and a huge hammer fell from the sky, just like a meteorite falling from the sky, which directly smashed more than a dozen soldiers of the Hongze Camp into meat paste. The gusts of wind it stirred up blew away more than 20 people!
"Your Majesty!"

"Oh no!"

"Dazhai!"

"The Dazhai has been occupied by the enemy!"

"Ok?"

In the chaos, only the place where Yuwen Jingwen was was empty. He was not panicked at all when he heard the news: "Didn't I leave Magatal to guard the camp? He is not so useless that he can be killed by a lieutenant general, right?"

"No, he, they also have a Xuan Xiang Dacheng!" The general reported stutteringly: "It seems to be, it seems to be that Tang Ruoshan!"

"It turns out that he has hidden a great achievement of the Mysterious Realm."

Yuwen Jingwen sneered.

Before the war begins.

He had already considered all the possibilities.

Including the Hongze Camp, which reserved one or two thousand people in advance to attack the camp.

But he doesn't care!

That's right!

Even if there is one more person who has reached the Great Accomplishment of the Xuan Xiang Realm, it doesn’t matter!
So what if the camp is gone?
Originally, there was no need for a large camp!
All we need to do is kill all the people in the Hongze Camp near the Agate River. What kind of waves can a mere two or three thousand people cause? !

And this moment is not far away!
Even if Hongzeying is not afraid of death, it does not mean that they will not die!

Not collapsing doesn’t mean they won’t be defeated!
Hold on until now.

The Hongze Camp suffered real casualties.

Just keep fighting this battle!
and……

Yuwen Jingwen raised his head and found the man in white robe and white horse who was also killing enemies in the crowd.

He's ready to speed up!

After the war started.

Chen Sanshi deliberately avoided him and went to kill the lieutenant general and the general.

But that’s it!
Kill this man and everything will be over.

The young general in white robe also gave him a look filled with murderous intent.

Today's battle.

It was the Hongze Camp’s last stand.

What's more, this is Chen Sanshi's last-ditch battle!
The two coaches had the same idea.

Kill the other party and it will be over!

Kill, Martial Saint!
