Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1079: The Army is Defeat
"You all deserve to die~" Tuoba Bodhisattva drew his sword angrily, and his celestial energy erupted completely.

The sharp edge of the sword can rival the sun and the moon in brilliance
The purple brocade bag did not dodge or evade, but went straight forward, and its palms collided with the magic weapon.

There was a sound of metal and stone, like the ringing of a huge bell.

Flying sand and rocks blocked everyone's view.

Finally, the smoke cleared.

The spectators were shocked to see that Zi Jinnang's feet were deeply sunken in the soil, and his hands, which were holding up the magic weapon, were bleeding.

"Yi Ye Shu, you!" Even someone as strong as Tuoba Bodhisattva did not expect that Zi Jin Nang could control his weapon with just a pair of bare hands, at the cost of minor injuries. He was stunned for a moment.

Obviously, the Purple Brocade Bag was waiting for this opportunity.

"Hah~" With a powerful shout, the energy in the purple brocade bag returned to the heaven and earth, and the true energy burst out, and at the peak, a "Sky Dragon Roar!"

If someone were to endure the Dragon's roar at close range, even someone as strong as Tuoba Bodhisattva, who had the physical body of a celestial being, would only end up dead.

But the magic weapon had its own spirit, and it protected its master by blocking 50% of the attack's power, breaking it into pieces on the spot.

Tuoba Bodhisattva was hit by 50% of the Heavenly Dragon's Roar, and his clothes were stained with blood, but he survived. His body turned into a red light and went towards Jiming Mountain.

Seeing that Tuoba Bodhisattva had abandoned them and escaped, the morale of the Beimang army of 100,000, which was already low, instantly plummeted to the lowest point.

The defeat of Tuoba Bodhisattva not only meant the destruction of the myth of the invincibility of the Northern Mang military god, but also meant the end of his and others' survival.

Almost at the exact moment, Xu Xiao arrived with 30,000 cavalrymen.

The guards on both sides of Xu Xiao held the reins in one hand and carried the commander's flag of the Beimang camp and the golden flag of the Dangxiang in the other hand.

Tuoba Bodhisattva was the leader of the Dangxiang tribe of Beimang. When he went to war, he carried the commander's flag of Beimang as well as the golden flag of the Dangxiang leader to declare his identity.

Many soldiers in Zhongtan’s army recognized these flags and realized that the main camp must have been breached.

Xu Xiao led his troops to the scene, looked into the distance, and said calmly, "Those who surrender will live, and those who do not surrender will die."

The voice was clearly heard by the 100,000 soldiers of Beimang. Although the tone was light, it was like thousands of thunders, breaking the psychological defenses of the last 100,000 troops of Beimang.

It is unknown who was the first to drop his weapon. All we know is that as the first weapon fell to the ground, countless Beimang soldiers put down their weapons and surrendered.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhong Tan shouted helplessly: "I surrender!"

Xu Xiao ordered his soldiers to confiscate the weapons and detain the surrendered soldiers from Beimang in batches.

One hundred thousand people is not a small number and there is no room for error.

Xu Xiao had to command personally to ensure that these 100,000 surrendered soldiers did not cause any trouble and arranged for them to be detained in the rear of Beiliang.

Xu Fengnian looked at the people below the Baili Stone Great Wall and sighed, "After all the calculations, in the end, it's not as good as Xu Xiao coming here and shouting."

Wen Hua felt bored, shrugged his shoulders, and said while holding the wooden sword in his arms: "I thought I could meet Tuoba Bodhisattva by rushing here. At worst, Xiaonian and I will fight this Northern Mang military god together. If I had known that the war would end in this way, I would have slept in Wogong City."

"Oh my, it's such a blessing that the war can end in this way. It means that God still loves you." At this time, Zi Jinnang, who defeated Tuoba Bodhisattva, patted his blood-stained hands to wipe off the blood stains on his hands.

"Mr. Zi Jinnang." Yuan Zuozong respected this scholar very much, who had stopped Tuoba Bodhisattva and won the crucial victory for Beiliang in the battle between Liang and Mang. He saluted with his fists.

"Prince of Beiliang, Xu Fengnian, I would like to thank you for your help this time. But..." Xu Fengnian asked with a smile: "Sir, you can actually perform the two martial arts, Seven Spinning Fingers of the Armor-Breaking Peak and Roar of the Heavenly Dragon, so naturally. Who is your real identity? It makes me curious." In response to Xu Fengnian's question, the purple-clothed scholar laughed, "Hahahaha..."

“Hahahaha…” Xu Fengnian and Wen Hua also started laughing.

The three of them said at the same time: "It's a tacit understanding."

After the laughter, Zi Jinnang said, "I am done with this matter, and I am leaving. Xu Fengnian, what you are going to face next is the real problem. See you later."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "See you later, Master~"

"Ha~" With a light laugh, Zi Jinnang flicked her sleeves and turned to leave, the poem began again, "The world is as thin as paper, how can we turn the page? When you know less, you have fewer worries; when you know more people, you have more troubles. Why not study Buddhism diligently, close your eyes and smile to obtain the Saha world."

Yuan Zuozong, who was standing by, heard this poem and said in disbelief: "Prince, why do you call Mr. Zi Jin Nang the master? And the poem that Mr. Zi left, could it be that he is the third..."

Xu Fengnian smiled and stopped Yuan Zuozong from continuing, "Since you already know, why bother asking again?"

"Second Brother Yuan, you can continue. We still have a lot of things to do." Xu Fengnian said this and looked towards the direction of Beimang.

Yuan Zuozong expressed his position: "Well, no matter what the prince wants to do, the entire Beiliang army will support it."

Just as the outcome of the Liang-Mang war was about to be decided, the Chu-Li war also saw a major turning point.

The Queen of Western Chu appointed Zhang Bianguan, the youngest son of Zhang Julu, the former Prime Minister of Liyang, as the General of the Auxiliary State, and Han Liangchen, a newly promoted talent of Western Chu, as the deputy general. They led 20,000 elite Chu troops across the Guangling River and attacked Lu Xiangsheng's troops stationed at the border of Jiangnan Road, which had an army of 100,000.

Lu Xiangsheng sent his brave general Guo Dongfeng to lead 40,000 troops to meet the enemy.

The two sides set up their battle lines on the north bank of the Guangling River and started a fierce battle.

In the end, Guo Dongfeng, who had superior military forces, was defeated and his 40,000-strong army was routed.

He was even beheaded by Han Liangchen in the chaos.

The Chu army, which had just won a great battle, was in high spirits and morale. Under the command of the commanders of each unit, they cleaned up the battlefield in an orderly manner among the scattered flags and lying corpses of the Li army.

Zhang Bianguan and Han Liangchen rode their horses one after the other, standing on the high slope and overlooking the battlefield.

Zhang Bianguan said to Han Liangchen, "Liangchen, just say whatever you want to say."

Han Liangchen asked, "How did the general know that Lu Xiangsheng would not lead the troops himself, but would send Guo Dongfeng to lead 40,000 troops?"

Zhang Bianguan explained to Han Liangchen: "Lu Xiangsheng is a talented general, but he does not have the trust of the one in the high seat of the Liyang Temple, so he will be constrained. And this constraint will be the key to the victory or failure of this battle."

Han Liangchen immediately understood what Zhang Bianguan meant. "That's why the general only asked the empress for 20,000 men. Because these 20,000 men are the bottom line. After the scouts in the Liyang army found out that we only had 20,000 men, Lu Xiangsheng was constrained and couldn't send out his entire army. This gave the general the opportunity to divide and conquer us."

Zhang Bianguan was very satisfied with Han Liangchen's understanding. He nodded and said, "Liangchen, although you are young, you are gifted. Your future achievements will not be inferior to mine."

Then he asked, "Then tell me, why did I let those 2,000 remaining soldiers leave?"

Han Liangchen expressed his thoughts, "The general wants to send them back to damage the morale of Lu Xiangsheng's army."

"Most of Lu Xiangsheng's troops are civilians forcibly conscripted from Jiangnan Road. What kind of fighting power do they have? If they encounter a tough battle, they will scatter like birds and beasts. I believe that by now, the news of Guo Dongfeng's defeat and death has spread throughout Lu Xiangsheng's army."
