Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 170 Phoenix Dance with a Hundred Spears
Such heavy casualties caused Xiao Ying and Du Fuwei, who were distracted, to grimace with heartache.

Don't underestimate the casualties of dozens or hundreds of people in a single breath; they may seem negligible compared to an army of tens of thousands.

The Imperial Guard was a select group of rare elites, enjoying exceptionally high benefits and equipment, yet it numbered only a few thousand. At this rate of casualties, it wouldn't be long before half of them were killed or even wiped out!
Both imperial guards were semi-heavy cavalry, with both men and horses fully armored. Their charge was like a landslide or a tsunami, causing greater and faster casualties on each other...

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Heartbroken, the two men simultaneously unleashed their full power, hoping to end the battle as quickly as possible to aid the Imperial Guard.

A deafening, massive metallic clang rang out as the heavy broadsword and halberd clashed, sparks flying.

After a dozen or so clashes of swords and halberds, Du Fuwei was the first to pull his horse back several steps. His tiger's mouth burst open, blood staining the hilt of his sword. Even the hand holding the sword trembled involuntarily. His face darkened, and he looked at Xiao Ying with a deep frown.

"As expected, his reputation is well-deserved! I never imagined that Prince Jingwu would become so powerful so soon after gaining fame. He is another peerless genius like General Yuwen Chengdu..."

Du Fuwei was deeply shocked and found himself in a dilemma.

Continuing to fight would obviously be unwinnable and would be dangerous.

If they wanted to retreat, it would be too late. The Black Cloud Cavalry and the Jingwu Guard had already begun to clash and fight. If Du Fuwei retreated, the Black Cloud Cavalry would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the morale and fighting spirit of the Jianghuai Army would also be greatly affected.

This is the influence of the commander-in-chief, especially a brave and famous commander-in-chief, or a general who is known as a war god. He cannot afford to be defeated, otherwise the blow to the army will be even greater!
"General Jianghuai, you live up to your reputation! Come again!!!"

Xiao Ying wasn't faring much better; her wrist was numb from the impact, and her halberd nearly slipped from her grasp several times, forcing her to hold it steady with both hands. However, she fared much better than Du Fuwei. Her fighting spirit only intensified, and with a roar, she spurred her horse forward again, brandishing her halberd…

"..."

"The title of 'General Commander of Jianghuai' refers to power and influence, not personal combat strength..."

Du Fuwei secretly complained to himself, but he also knew that he had personal combat strength and reputation to rely on. If he lost this battle, he would become a stepping stone for the Jingwu King to become even more famous!

However, given the circumstances, Du Fuwei could not avoid the battle or retreat; he had no choice but to grit his teeth and once again raise his sword to meet the enemy...

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Another deafening, buzzing clash of gravity followed, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten rounds had passed.

Du Fuwei dared not engage Xiao Ying in a direct, head-on battle anymore, and instead chose to attack from the side and deflect his warhorse.

As a result, the impact was much weaker than before, but it was still very painful. There was significantly more blood soaking the hilt of the knife, and the old wounds, which had not yet healed, had reopened and become even larger...

Du Fuwei was inwardly groaning, but could only grit his teeth and endure it. His gloomy face turned pale and distorted, and he began to disregard the Black Cloud Riders who were like precious treasures to him!

"kill!"

Just then, a dense, deafening battle cry erupted as Kan Leng led a large number of elite Jianghuai Army soldiers to attack.

Du Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief. Taking advantage of the renewed clash between his sword and halberd with Xiao Ying, he quickly withdrew and shouted, "Kill!"

"..."

Kan Leng and the Jianghuai army soldiers who arrived were stunned, and for a moment thought they were hallucinating.

Du Fuwei was known for his bravery and always led from the front in battle. How could he have ever ordered his generals and the army to surround and kill the enemy general he was fighting?

Looking again at the blood-stained hilt and the dripping blood, Kan Leng and the others suddenly realized what was happening. Their gazes toward Prince Jingwu, Xiao Ying, instantly became solemn, fearful, and apprehensive.

"Kill!" Despite his fear, Kan Leng would not stand idly by and watch Du Fuwei be injured, or even seriously injured or killed in battle. He immediately shouted and, wielding a long-handled broadsword, joined several generals from Jianghuai in attacking Xiao Ying.

The elite troops of the Jianghuai Army that arrived spread out to the left and right towards Jingwu Guard, clearly intending to "bully the few with the many"!
Fortunately, the Jingwu Guard troops were well-armored, and the quality of their armor was extremely high. Ordinary swordsmen could hardly inflict effective or fatal damage, so they could barely hold on for the time being!

Xiao Ying was extremely anxious, but all she could do was swing her halberd even faster and more fiercely, praying that the Jingwu army would arrive soon...

It would be best if Zhao Pojun could betray the Jianghuai Army as the Demonic Sect suggested, and come to their aid together with the Eastern Martial Army led by Xie Yingdeng; otherwise, the Jingwu Guard would suffer heavy casualties!
……

In addition to encountering Du Fuwei and the Black Cloud Cavalry, there was also the central route led by Jianghuai general Kan Leng.

The raid on the eastern side of the Jianghuai camp went much more smoothly.

Dugu Feng led the Dugu clan members, guards, and elite soldiers as her elite troops, and charged into the eastern camp of the Jianghuai army, which was mainly composed of the Chu King's faction.

The Chu army in the eastern camp was no less numerous than those in other areas; in fact, due to the presence of King Fu Gongyou of Chu, the number of soldiers in the five cardinal directions of the camp was the largest. However, their quality was far inferior to that of the central camp, and even further inferior to the Black Cloud Cavalry.

Dugu Feng led the charge, unstoppable and unstoppable. His Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear moved like a dragon and lightning, and no one could withstand it.

Chen Zhengtong, one of the six generals under the King of Chu, led his troops to resist, but was killed by Dugu Feng with two spear thrusts. This caused the Chu army to fall into chaos and collapse. Meanwhile, the Chinese army was in high spirits and had a stronger fighting will. They charged faster and fought more fiercely, and soon reached the central part of the eastern camp.

"Peerless Phoenix? You and Prince Jingwu dare to disobey... dare to attack our army?!?"

In his haste, Fu Gongyou had already donned his armor and stood before the tent, surrounded by his personal guards, trusted generals, and other attendants. Upon seeing Dugu Feng, he was both shocked and furious, and shouted at her repeatedly from a distance.

After the last "mediation" by the Demonic Sect, Fu Gongyou felt that he and the Chu army and the Sui army were already half allies. He never expected that the "Peerless Phoenix," who was the most famous and powerful soldier in the Sui army, whose combat strength was comparable to... or even surpassed the legendary Jingwu King, would personally lead elite troops to attack and kill him!

Isn't this a breach of agreement and a betrayal of trust?
Zuo Youxian and Xu Shaozong, two of the six generals of the King of Chu, exchanged a glance and made preparations in secret.

Zuo Youxian was originally a member of the Demonic Sect, and even an elder of the sect. However, Xu Shaozong was not; he was only bribed and turned after Chu Wang Fu Gongyou accepted the "support" of the Demonic Sect.

"The phoenix dances in the sky, and all the birds pay homage to it!"

Dugu Feng swung her spear and instantly killed seven or eight Chu soldiers around her. She looked at King Fu Gongyou of Chu, and suddenly leaped into the air like a phoenix, as swift and agile as a phantom, crossing countless Chu soldiers and flying more than a hundred meters.

The spears shot out like lightning, instantly unleashing dozens or even hundreds of spear beams, resembling a hundred birds taking flight, rapidly swarming towards Fu Gongyou!

"Ding! Ding! Ding..."

A series of crisp, metallic clanging sounds rang out. Fu Gongyou only had time to draw his sword to defend himself before a spear pierced his chest and emerged from his body.

"you……"

Fu Gongyou gripped the gun handle, blood welling up in his eyes as he tried to speak, his voice trembling with disbelief.

What happened to the agreement of "no fighting (in reality, it was just mediation at the time)"?

The initial lofty ambitions, the impending imperial ambitions...

What Fu Gongyou found most unbelievable was that his ambition to dominate the country would crumble halfway through, and that he would be so easily assassinated by the "Peerless Phoenix" amidst an army of hundreds of thousands...

Fu Gongyou, the King of Chu, one of the two kings of the Jianghuai Army and one of the thirty-six rebel kings in the world, has fallen!
