Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

But under the siege of the demon army, the more than 200 soldiers were like dying candles and could be extinguished at any time.

But the sudden addition of new forces composed of Taiyi and others gave hope back to these southern barbarian soldiers who had almost lost hope.

"Guan Yu is here! Who dares to fight me?"

"Sun Wu of Jiangdong has joined the war! Fellow countrymen of Nanzhong, hold on a little longer!"

"Cao Wei is here, demon army, die!"

"For the glory of the Lord!"

"It's reinforcements! Our reinforcement brothers are here!"

"Brothers! Work harder! Don't let the reinforcements look down on you!"

"oh--!"

Hearing these loud slogans and seeing the powerful reinforcements that broke into the demon army and killed them until even their shadows could not be seen, the morale of the Nanman troops was greatly boosted.

On the other hand, the demon army was first frightened by the fleeing soldiers in the garrison gap, and then frightened by a few enemies who shouted slogans loudly and acted decisively. They thought that a large force of human expeditionary forces had arrived, and their morale dropped sharply while they tried to retreat.

The result is that he sinks deeper and deeper, and finally cannot break free.

When the last dozen or so demon soldiers fell, the vanguard of the Nanman army finally had the chance to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brothers! Brothers who have come to reinforce us! Thank you so much!" A bearded man dressed in a more formal manner, who was suspected to be the commander of the vanguard, came over to thank everyone, "But why are there only a few dozen of you?"

Looking at the few reinforcements behind Guan Yu and others, the Southern Barbarian Army was also at a loss.

"We are not reinforcements. On the contrary, we are here to borrow troops. We just ended up being reinforcements by mistake." Sun Shangxiang smiled bitterly and waved her hands, speaking frankly about the current situation of herself and her group.

"What? Is the situation outside so bad now?" The commander of the Nanman Army's vanguard was shocked. "Ever since the war broke out outside to fight for power and territory, we have been staying deep in the south and have been out of touch with the outside world for a long time."

"If the demon army hadn't suddenly appeared and tried to surround and kill us in Nanzhong, we wouldn't even know that the demon army had regained its strength."

"A large number of demon troops have broken in from the east, north, and south. Madam Zhu Rong asked us, the vanguard, to break out from the west, but we didn't expect it to be a trap set by the enemy, trying to trap everyone who broke out. If it weren't for you breaking through their defenses, we would have accomplished nothing and would have also affected the main force behind us."

"The main force is behind? Then what are you waiting for? Leave a hundred of you here to guard it and don't let the demon army take it again. The rest of you lead us to rush over to support the main force." Taiyi urged, "If we waste one more second, countless brothers may die under the bows and swords of the demon army."

"That's right! Brother, thank you for the reminder!" The commander left a word of gratitude and quickly selected the troops to be stationed near the gap.

"The group has grown from more than fifty to more than one hundred and eighty. Suddenly, I feel that the future is becoming more and more promising." Kaihime held Sun Shangxiang's waist, glanced back, and then couldn't help but sigh.

"…There are only a hundred more people. What's there to be shocked about?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Kaihime with some confusion and asked.

"…Just pretend I didn't say anything." Kaihime gave a few dry laughs and skipped the topic.

Although everyone had a honeymoon period since defeating Enryuchi, the number of soldiers and troop structure of each family remained a secret of each family and had never been disclosed proactively.

However, the daimyos of the Warring States period were either well-versed in the history of the Three Kingdoms or had ninjas at home, so they had some guesses about the approximate number of troops in the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu.

Although the previous series of wars caused a sharp reduction in the military strength of each country, the remaining number of troops in each of these three countries is still more than 80,000.

Cao Wei had an army of over 100,000.

During the Warring States Period, families with over a thousand members were considered to be well-known names with some reputation, and those with tens of thousands were even more famous among the famous names... There was no way they could compare with them.

The Oda family was already a top-notch family in terms of military strength among the daimyo in the Warring States Period.

However, including the old retainers such as the Toyotomi clan and the Shibata clan who chose to re-attach to the Oda clan after coming to this world, the existing standing force is only over 30,000.

However, Oda Nobunaga was a stubborn and self-righteous man with an incomprehensible greed to expand his territory and spread his military power throughout the world, so he first went to war with Cao Wei, the most powerful of the Three Kingdoms, and then stirred up all the greedy daimyos, which ended up involving the other two forces of the Three Kingdoms.

When my brain was about to be beaten out, the demon snake and the demon army appeared again.

The more Kaihime thought about it, the more headache she felt.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at Taiyi who was sitting back behind Bu Lianshi not far ahead.

Therefore, people in the Warring States period attached more importance to the personal bravery of military generals than those in the Three Kingdoms period.

We have to find an opportunity to test the background of Lord Raikou.

If Jiangdong could be won over, why couldn't Kaihime be won over?

It’s a pity that the head of the Hojo family was killed after the demon snake appeared, and the whereabouts of the second head of the family and Hayakawa-dono are now unknown.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as she can get this powerful ally, she can go all out to find these important people!

Chapter 18 Mrs. Zhurong: Elegant!

Nanzhong’s main force is quite powerful.

An archer stood on the elephant's back and shot arrows around. The bamboo basket on the elephant's back was filled with bulging quivers.

There were also small groups of southern barbarian soldiers around who relied on their familiarity with the habits of elephants to fight against the soldiers of the demon army.

For a moment, the demon army was unable to do anything to the main force of the Southern Barbarian Army consisting of several thousand people.

If the vanguard troops had not intended to break through the blockade of the demon army's Nanman entrance and exit, Taiyi would have really thought that the advantage lay with the Nanman army.

But the next moment, Ayane suddenly appeared and brought bad news to everyone who were preparing to join the war to aid the Nanman Army.

The other part of the Nanman Army that was responsible for blocking the follow-up troops of the Demon Army from invading Nanzhong had suffered heavy casualties. Even the Nanman King Meng Huo, who was in charge of commanding the Nanman Army to cut off their rear, was seriously injured and his life or death was unknown.

The morale over there has reached its lowest point, and I'm afraid they won't be able to hold off the demon army for much longer.

However, the number of the follow-up troops of the demon army was small. Most of them were killed by the Nanman army led by Meng Huo. The number of the remaining demon army was so small that they could be eaten up by this side even if they came to reinforce.

"Investigate again! Report again!" Guan Yu became a little anxious when he heard that Meng Huo's life or death was unknown.

Ayane glanced at Taichi, and after seeing him nod in agreement, she turned and left.

Once Meng Huo died, Nanzhong would probably have to re-elect the King of the Southern Barbarians. Although Meng Huo's wife, Lady Zhurong, was brave and powerful, she did not have the ability to suppress all the subordinates who had ambitions for the throne of the Southern Barbarians in a short period of time.

The most important thing is that if this continues, the plan to borrow troops from the Southern Barbarians will fail.

"My king...will he be okay?" The commander of the vanguard had ambition in his eyes.

"That's not your concern." Taiyi glanced at the commander and reminded him, "If it delays our important task, I don't mind helping the wife of the Nanman King to suppress the second voice in your group other than hers."

The commander shrank back in fear.

He had witnessed the scene of Taitian's divine soldiers descending from the sky, and he was in awe of this terrifying warrior with extraordinary abilities.

"Charge in! Find Zhurong, the wife of the leader of the Southern Barbarians!" Taiyi pointed the tip of his sword at the demon army and shouted loudly to the people behind him.

"It should be so! Go!" Guan Yu, holding the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, rushed towards the demon army.

Taishi Ci followed closely behind.

After Taiyi jumped off the horse again, Lianshi immediately came to Sun Shangxiang and Kaihime and organized the maids to protect the two.

After Taiyi rushed into the demon army, he killed the demon soldiers and a few big demon generals who appeared occasionally, while carefully collecting the surrounding sounds with his ears, trying to find Madam Zhurong.

"You bunch of damn bastards! How dare you mess around in my yard!" Wielding a huge flying knife of fire, the woman with bronze skin, long silver-white hair, and exuding a rebellious and wild aura, single-handedly fought against the demon army generals who were difficult for ordinary people to resist.

"Jihehe! Just surrender obediently! You have no chance to escape!" The demon army general, who was concentrating on dealing with this troublesome human female and had no time to observe the situation on the battlefield, laughed in a strange tone and tried to persuade this human female to be a prisoner obediently.

"Go to hell! You bastards of the demon army!" Zhu Rong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his elbow, his facial expression looking extremely ferocious.

Just when Zhu Rong was planning to fight to the death with the demon general on the opposite side in exchange for injury, she keenly noticed the change in wind direction on the battlefield.

A cavalry unit rushed in and penetrated a corner of the battlefield like a sharp arrow.

Is this, reinforcements coming?

Zhu Rong was stunned for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

"All of you bastards from the demon army, stay here and fertilize the land for me!"

Just when the general of the demon army thought that this was the last words of the human woman before her death and was about to kill this human who refused to surrender, a familiar head suddenly rolled over from behind and stopped right at his feet.

That was a general of the same race as him, Suanyu.

But... with the generals of Nanzhong being stopped at the rear, who has the ability to chop off the heads of the demon army generals?

Just as Zhu Yin was panicking and was about to turn his head slightly to see what was happening behind him, his vision went dark and his consciousness suddenly lost.

Taiyi slowly wiped the blood off the blade with Zhuyin's clothes.

"Excuse me, are you Zhurong?" Taiyi kicked the demon army that was charging towards him away casually, and then he made up for it by fighting off the miscellaneous soldiers that were rushing over from the surroundings. Only then did he have time to communicate with the wild woman next to him.

"It's me! Who are you?" Zhu Rong responded after following Taiyi and repelling the enemy.

"You can call me Lai Guang." Taiyi explained, "I followed Guan Yu, Sun Shangxiang, Wang Yuanji and others to Nanzhong to seek reinforcements."

"I didn't expect that you would be besieged by the demon army, so I came to rescue you."

Seeing Taiyi's sword killing every soldier and general of the demon army with one blow, Zhu Rong's legs felt a little weak.

The last human with this ability was called Lu Bu.

Other generals, if facing the miscellaneous soldiers of the Demon Army, might be able to achieve his current level, but as for the generals of the Demon Army... it is really difficult to determine the winner without fighting for eight or ten rounds.

Moreover, the victory or defeat does not necessarily depend on the human general.

After all, except for some generals with higher martial arts values, the individual strength of most human generals cannot be compared with the tough and thick-skinned demon army generals.

"It's Guan Yu?" Zhu Rong then saw the man in a green robe waving the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand not far away.

However, his condition doesn't look very good, and even the common soldiers may not be able to kill him with one blow.

"Call for reinforcements?" Zhu Rong's pressure was greatly reduced after getting help from Dao Taiyi, and he was able to communicate with him at the same frequency as him.

“Although I think my husband will not refuse, the current situation is too chaotic. It is hard to say whether we can break through the defense line of the demon army.” Zhu Rong did not know that Taiyi and others came from the route that the vanguard troops were preparing to attack. He thought that these people were coming from a direction where the demon army was weaker.

"The demon army garrison that the vanguard was about to attack has been breached. If you want to evacuate Nanzhong temporarily, you can also go from there." Taiyi looked at the giant elephants and shook his head regretfully, "It's just that those elephants may not be easy to take away."

After all, they can't get through the gap, and taking the mountain road will simply slow down the withdrawal.

"Huh? You're from the west?" Zhu Rong looked at Taiyi in surprise, but seeing that he was still sharp, he believed him. "Don't worry about the elephants. We in the South Central Army have a special way to drive elephants!"

Chapter 19 Zhu Rong: I plan to wait for death, what are you waiting for?

"Lord Raikou, the latest intelligence." Just as Taiyi and Zhurong were working together to wipe out the surrounding demon army and integrate the Nanman troops to reorganize their situation and prepare to counterattack the demon army, Ayane's figure suddenly appeared.

"Go ahead." Tai nodded to Ayane.

"The Eastern Fortress Gate has been completely breached and occupied by the demon army, and the general responsible for fighting for control of the gate has died in battle."

"Dongmen! Did Wei Yan die in the battle?" Zhu Rong on the side showed a look of shock.

"I don't know whether that general is the Wei Yan that you, Lord Zhurong, mentioned, but after his death, the army following him fell into chaos, and there was no possibility of retaking the Dongfangzhai Gate." Ayane explained.

"That's right, Wei Yan took the initiative to ask to take back the Eastern Fortress Gate." Zhu Rong thrust the flying knife into the ground. "That idiot! Is his fighting method so rigid? If he dies, he won't be able to take back anything!"

"Wait, what about the north!" Zhu Rong looked at Ling Yin nervously, "Meng Huo, my husband went to the northern fortress!"

"If Lord Zhurong is referring to the man with the elephant jewelry tied to his leg during the battle for the northern fortress gate, unfortunately, he also died in the battle." Ayane shook her head and replied, "The demons in his direction were the most numerous, and the generals who followed the demons surrounded and killed him. After suffering heavy losses, he insisted on not retreating, and was killed by a Greek soldier not long ago."

Zhu Rong staggered, but fortunately the flying knife supported her body.

"...Idiots, all of them are idiots!" Zhu Rong forced himself to suppress the emotions that were about to explode, and raised the flying knife and threw it towards the thin tree beside him.

The tree was cut right into two.

"I've repeatedly told you not to hold on, and to prepare to retreat once the situation becomes bad... but one or two of them just wouldn't listen!"

"Ayane, did you just say 'Greek soldiers'?" Taiyi grasped the key point of Ayane's words just now.

"Yes, it was a man dressed as an ancient Greek soldier." Ayane nodded and replied, "His skills are very advanced, and his ability to withstand blows is also extremely strong. The attacks launched by King Meng Huo, despite his huge size, could only make him retreat one or two steps."

Achilles during the Trojan War... or was it Achilles?

One of the most famous warriors in ancient Greece.

"Those demon generals are heading in this direction now." Ayane glanced at Zhu Rong, then suggested to Taiyi, "I suggest that you evacuate as soon as possible before they arrive."

“Damn it!” Zhu Rong’s teeth were about to break when she heard this, but looking at the bewildered expressions on her subordinates’ faces, she could only gather her thoughts, took a few steps forward to pick up her flying knife, and then gave an order to her subordinates, “Everyone! Evacuate to the west!”

"For the time being, Guan Yu will be the acting general of the Southern Central Army!"

Zhu Rong not only issued a retreat order, he even let Guan Yu, who was quite famous in the Nanman army, temporarily serve as the supreme commander and transferred the military power to him.

He himself took a hundred southern barbarian soldiers who were relatively inconvenient to move with him as a rear guard force and stayed behind for the time being.

"I'll stay behind to stop the pursuers." Taiyi flexed his wrist and said, "Otherwise, with this amount of troops left behind, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for even a cup of tea."

"Lord Raikou?" Ayane looked at Taichi with some surprise.

"Ayane, follow them and explore the way for General Guan and the others first." Taiyi looked at Ayane and said, "We will catch up with them later."

"Hey! Boy, if you stay here you will die." Zhu Rong, who was determined to die, raised his eyebrows and looked at Taiyi to remind him.
