A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Niu Ben was already brave and fierce, and at this moment he was even more reckless, fighting desperately.

When that huge horse-slaying sword was swung around, the area within two or three meters was like a meat grinder, with blood and gore everywhere!

Limbs and heads were scattered all over the ground, and the blood had stained the armor all over the body a foul-smelling dark red.

"kill!!"

The bull roared as it killed.

None of his men could even withstand a single blow!

However, human strength has its limits.

No matter how brave and invincible Niu Ben was, he couldn't last long fighting against multiple opponents like this.

It was too physically demanding!

As soon as their fatigue became apparent, the astute Khitans swarmed forward and engaged the Niuben in fierce combat.

If the fighting continues like this, Niu Ben might be able to kill a few more people.

But in less than ten minutes, he would die from exhaustion.

Seeing this, the Khitans relaxed slightly.

However, upon turning my head again...

The Khitans were nearly scared out of their wits!

Li Rui made far less noise than Niu Ben, remaining silent and focusing solely on the fight.

He holds a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right.

Work from both sides!

His movements were also very simple, without any fancy moves.

A long sword is simply used for chopping and hacking.

The spear is even simpler, requiring only one movement.

prick!

However, this simple action has a terrifying killing efficiency!

Almost every slash and thrust could easily take the life of a Khitan soldier!

Li Rui left a trail of corpses along his sprint.

The Khitans who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines and trembled all over!

Li Rui's killing of enemies felt strange, as if countless people were lining up, waiting for him to kill them!

As soon as he raised his knife, someone brought it to him and stuck out his neck.

As soon as he drew his gun, someone deliberately exposed the gaps not covered by the armor, allowing Li Rui to easily kill him with a single blow.

They've turned murder into art!

The Khitan soldiers were terrified, and even the Jin army following behind Li Rui were dumbfounded!

What the hell is this killer monster?!

And most importantly, Li Rui's method of killing doesn't require any physical exertion!

With the same amount of strength, Niu Ben could kill ten people, while Li Rui could kill at least a hundred.

Even a fool could see the terrifying efficiency involved.

Li Rui is the real King of Hell!

For a moment, the Imperial Guards, who had initially managed to regain their footing, were thrown into disarray.

Under Li Rui's merciless, death-like harvest, chaos erupted instantly!

The Khitans were human too; they were afraid of death!

Although they were the elite of the Imperial Guard, responsible for protecting the sacred Emperor's banner.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be afraid of death.

But Li Rui is terrifying!

These Khitan elites were not afraid to fight to the death in a real battle.

Because they consider it an honor!

But Li Rui kills people with far too ease.

It was as if their own lives were not lives at all, but merely ants under Li Rui's command, which could be crushed at any moment.

This made the Khitans feel like newborn lambs facing an old butcher who had slaughtered tens of thousands of sheep.

The Khitans felt honored to die at the hands of Niuben, because they had died protecting the emperor's banner.

The Khitans felt it wasn't worth dying at Li Rui's hands.

Yes, it's not worth it!

One can die for one's country in a hundred ways.

But it would be too much of a waste for Li Rui to so easily take them all!

The Khitans began to avoid war.

The Khitans began to shrink back in fear.

Li Rui charged forward on his horse, but not a single Khitan dared to come out and stop him!

These are elite members of the royal family and elite soldiers from the emperor's brother-in-law's faction.

He stood there dumbfounded, watching Li Rui speed away until he reached the thirteen-faced banner.

then.

The long sword was raised, then brought down.

click!

A smooth, straight pine flagpole, coated with black paint, snapped instantly!

A banner embroidered with mythical beasts was swept away by the gale and flew wildly in the sky.

Li Rui did not go to cut down Yelü Deguang's imperial banner.

The reason is simple: the flagpole was too thick to be cut in one stroke.

However, cutting off the other twelve banners would have the same effect.

These banners held an unparalleled position in the hearts of the Khitan people, like treasures bestowed by the gods.

But now, Li Rui has slashed him down with one blow.

"The flag...the flag flew away."

"It was the Falcon Flag! That Han Chinese chopped down the Falcon Flag!"

"Eternal Heaven... forgive your cowardly servants, we... we are afraid."

"The banner bestowed by the Eternal Heaven has been destroyed; it will bring down punishment!"

"Quickly inform His Majesty! Quickly inform His Majesty!"

……

The imperial guards who witnessed all of this looked terrified and their eyes were filled with panic!

Some of the more spirited Khitan men's eyes immediately turned red!

Roaring with words like "Eternal Heaven," he charged forward, intending to kill Li Rui.

The result was predictable; it simply gave Li Rui a few kills.

Li Rui was slightly out of breath.

If he could manage to cut down one of the divine banners by the time he got here, that would be his limit.

It should be noted that Niu Ben, who charged into the enemy ranks at the same time as him, was also involved.

At this moment, they are still a hundred meters away, locked in a fierce battle with a dense horde of Khitans.

Li Rui, with a sinister smile, scanned the fearful Khitan soldiers around him and suddenly shouted.

"I am Li Rui, the vanguard of the Righteous Army, who has slain a Khitan banner bearer in battle! Who dares to stop me!?"

Although the Khitan soldiers surrounded Li Rui, none of them dared to step forward.

At this moment, Li Rui suddenly showed a look of wild joy!

He pointed west and shouted in delight.

"Brothers! Our Jin army of 150,000 has arrived! Reinforcements are here! The Khitans will all die here! Keep charging!!"

Upon hearing this, the Khitan soldiers, who had been hesitating, were thrown into chaos!

The Jin army of 150,000 has arrived!?

And there's also an unparalleled warrior like Li Rui leading the vanguard!

How can we fight then?

In an instant, countless Khitan soldiers had already begun to consider retreating.

They never wanted to continue fighting with Li Rui in the first place!

Suddenly, a Khitan shouted.

"Quickly, protect the divine banner and retreat to His Majesty's side to protect him!"

His roar immediately gave the Khitan soldiers a sense of purpose, and they all abandoned Li Rui.

Protect the remaining banners and retreat completely!

Yes, the main force of the Jin army, numbering 150,000, has arrived.

What's wrong with them protecting the divine banner and His Majesty?

Leaving Li Rui, that plague god, was just a side effect.

It's definitely not because I'm afraid of dying!

However, in this moment of panic.

No Khitan realized that Li Rui had said, "Reinforcements have arrived."

Actually, it was shouted in Khitan language!

If the main force of the Jin army really came, how could he possibly shout to his comrades in Khitan?

That's obviously made up!

But the Khitan soldiers no longer cared.

They were only thinking about retreating, getting as far away from Li Rui, this plague god, as possible!

As Li Rui's guards, specifically those in the eastern corner, retreated completely.

Along with them, a large number of the Imperial Guards also retreated.

Niu Ben immediately felt relieved.

He was covered in blood and had numerous wounds all over his body.

He roared and swung his sword down, but missed.

Niu Ben looked up blankly, struggling to wipe away the foul-smelling blood in front of him.

"The Khitans...have they escaped?"

Jung Yung-guk shouted with ecstasy behind him.

"Commander! The Khitans have fled! It was Li Fengshi! Li Fengshi personally cut down one of the Khitan emperor's banners, scaring the Khitans away!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ben's tiger-like body trembled instantly!

Shocked yet surprised, Niu Ben's tense body suddenly relaxed, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he almost fell off his horse.

He was already exhausted.

"Okay, okay!"

At this moment, Li Rui rushed over and demanded an explanation.

"Are you alright?"

Zheng Yunguo hurriedly said.

"It's alright, Commander-in-Chief is just exhausted, there's no fatal wound."

Li Rui nodded and immediately shouted.

"The entire army is retreating south! Move quickly!"

Before the Jin soldiers could even cheer, they were ordered by Li Rui to retreat rapidly to the south.

After all, they only have so many people.

Li Rui deserves almost 90% of the credit for causing chaos among the Khitan and forcing them to retreat completely.

While the Khitan army is still unsettled, now is their best chance to escape!

at the same time.

About a mile behind the thirteen-faced banner.

The Khitan emperor Yelü Deguang was sitting inside his imperial carriage, which was designed to protect against sandstorms.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out ahead.

Moments later, the chaos did not subside; instead, it escalated.

Yelü Deguang was somewhat annoyed and opened the car door to scold him.

"What's causing this disturbance?"

The imperial guards hurriedly reported.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Guards have been ambushed by Jin cavalry, and the Falcon Banner has been severed by them!"

Yelü Deguang's pupils widened instantly!

"What did you say?!"
