Yue Yun hammered Jin Biao to death, shouted loudly, and rode forward chasing Zhu Yuanzhang. Gao Chong was not willing to lag behind and stepped forward bravely with his horse flying.
"Capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive! Capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive!"
Slogans were shouted from all directions, and countless Sui soldiers' eyes lit up, glaring at Zhu Yuanzhang's head that glowed golden under the helmet in the firelight.
Li Wenzhong fought tooth and nail to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang from breaking through the encirclement with all his strength. As a horse-riding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang also waved his sword and followed Li Wenzhong, killing the Sui soldiers who rushed forward from time to time.
"Protect the lord! Protect the lord!"
Meng Juehai, Hua Yun, Wang Qianyu and other trusted generals promoted by Zhu Yuanzhang also led their small number of troops to join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Wenzhong, and headed outside together.
"Don't let Zhu Yuanzhang run away!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang, please stop leaving!"
Gao Chong and Yue Yun were dragged by Yu Jinbiao, and they were far away from Zhu Yuanzhang. At this time, Zhang Xian led his army to catch up first.
"Ding dong, it is detected that Zhang Xian has entered the vigorous state, the force is +4, the basic force is 98, and the current force has increased to 102."
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhang Xian hung up his spear, took the bow in his hand, and shot an arrow first.
Many Sui cavalrymen with superb riding skills also unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, and shot out at high speed. Hundreds of wolf-fang arrows roared from behind and struck through the air. The soldiers who were running in front were shot through the armor by sharp arrows, which penetrated their backs and chests. Menheng fell off his horse and died.
As a direct descendant of Yue Fei, Zhang Xian's archery skills are quite similar to Yue Fei's. His arrows are so powerful that he can shoot away a cavalryman with one arrow and knock down three or five people.
"You escort the king out of the encirclement first, and I will come from behind!"
Seeing the soldiers beside him being hit by arrows and falling from their horses from time to time, Meng Juehai's eyes turned red with anxiety. He roared, turned his horse's head, raised his steel gun in his hand, and rushed towards the Sui army like lightning. More than a thousand Buqu followed and fought with the Sui army led by Zhang Xian.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Meng Juehai has entered the rapid state, the force is +5, the base force is 100, and the current force has been increased to 105."
Meng Juehai rushed into the Sui army with a gun, charging left and right, with an extremely sharp spear, and picked down more than a dozen Sui army cavalry one after another.
"The thief is so brave!"
When Zhang Xian saw this, he couldn't help but became furious. He immediately hung up his long bow, held his spear in hand, and rode straight towards Meng Juehai. Meng Juehai raised his spear and galloped towards Zhang Xian.
The two horses are close together, with their spears held high, intertwined with each other, and the barrels of their spears intertwined. Both of them were skilled in marksmanship, but within a few breaths they had already fired more than a dozen spears. The tips of the spears struck each other, the barrels of the spears collided, and the killing was inextricable.
After more than fifty rounds, Zhang Xian showed a slight defeat and was forced by Meng Juehai to go completely on the defensive.
"Traitor, take a stab at me!"
At this moment, a horse came rushing towards him like lightning. It was Yao Xing who had just been born, and his implanted identity was that of a captain under Zhang Xian.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Yao Xing has entered a brave state, his force is +6, his base force is 101, and his current force has increased to 107."
I saw Yao Xing rushing into the battle group on horseback, and without saying a word, he ran towards Meng Juehai and stabbed him in the head.
"Arrogant rats, overestimating their own abilities!"
Meng Juehai couldn't help but snorted when he saw Yao Xing dressed in the attire of a middle- and lower-ranking officer. He raised his hand and shot Yao Xing without any care, hoping to deflect Yao Xing's blow.
There was a clang and flames shot out. The result was far beyond Meng Juehai's expectation. The huge and heavy blow made Meng Juehai's arm go numb, causing his expression to change instantly.
"What a strength!"
"There's a bigger one!"
Yao Xing snorted coldly when he heard this, raised his sword and struck Meng Juehai on the forehead with another powerful strike.
Meng Juehai did not dare to be careless at this moment. He used all his strength to turn his spear sideways and fight upwards to parry.
Zhang Xian, who was on the side, had also reacted. When he saw this, he turned over the spear in his hand and swung it down. At that time, he pushed Meng Juehai's spear away. The long knife in Yao Xing's hand slashed down without any resistance, and in an instant, Meng Juehai was beheaded off his horse.
"Ding dong, it was detected that Yao Xing killed Meng Juehai. The host received 10 soul points. The current total number of soul points has increased to 323."
"Who are you?"
Zhang Xian could tell from Yao Xing's moves just now that his martial arts skills were still superior to his own and Meng Juehai's, so he couldn't help but curiously asked about Yao Xing's origins.
Yao Xing hurriedly clasped his fists and replied: "My humble position is that I joined the general's command during the general's recruitment last year. Over the past year, I have accumulated merit in fighting against the Turks, the traitors of the Tang Dynasty, and I have been promoted to the rank of Tunqi Lieutenant."
"I didn't expect that I would have a warrior like you under my command. I really was negligent. When this battle is over, I will recommend you to Governor Yue!"
Yao Xing was overjoyed when he heard this and said immediately: "Thank you, General Zhang!"
Zhang Xian waved his hand and pointed his spear at the commander-in-chief of Zhu Yuanzhang who was still alive: "The most urgent task is to capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive. If the warriors can capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive, they will have a bright future!"
Yao Xing nodded, kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and chased Zhu Yuanzhang in the direction of his escape. Zhang Xian also slapped the horse and stepped forward bravely.
"Don't let Zhu Yuanzhang run away!"
"Capture Zhu Yuanzhang alive, reward him with thousands of taels of gold, give him a marquis, and be promoted to the third rank!"
"Zhu Yuanzhang is an ordinary man, please get off your horse quickly and give him a bond!"
In addition to Gao Chong, Yue Yun, Zhang Xian, and Yao Xing, brave generals such as Yang Cunzhong, He Yuanqing, Pang De, Zheng Huai, and Shi Wengong also took the lead. They found the location of Zhu Yuanzhang's command flag by the light of the fire, and shouted towards Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him. After Xu Huang and Zhang He occupied Zhu Jun's left and right camps, they also led their elite troops to outflank him from both wings.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a rare imperial talent in a century. He controlled his subordinates well, and he was surrounded by many loyal ministers and generals who followed him loyally even under such circumstances. They worked hard to protect Zhu Yuanzhang, even if they had to pay their own lives. He stayed at the Sui army and defeated the advancing Sui army time and time again.
"Xue Wanche obeys the order!"
The commander-in-chief of the Sui army, Yue Fei, calmly issued an order: "I order you to lead your elite cavalry. You don't have to fight with Zhu Jun's defeated troops. You can quickly go around to the front and block Zhu Yuanzhang's escape to the west. As long as you stop Zhu Yuanzhang, even if your troops don't gain a single victory, I, the commander, will I’ll take credit from you!”
"I will obey your orders!"
Xue Wanche had been in Youzhou for many years and was very good at leading cavalry. He immediately led his 6,000 elite cavalry and rushed out like the wind. It was like a sharp arrow instantly pierced through Lu Zhen and passed through the chaotic Zhu army. past.
At the same time, Yue Fei sent an order to Xu Huang and Zhang He on both sides. The two men understood instantly and led their troops to quickly get rid of the remnants of Zhu's army. They bypassed the flanks and consolidated the security of the two wings for Xue Wanche's troops, forming a solid line of defense.
When Zhu Yuanzhang's remnant troops were fleeing, they had to deal with the Sui army officers and soldiers who were catching up from behind. Naturally, their marching speed was not as fast as that of Xue Wanche, Zhang He, and Xu Huang, and they were soon stopped behind.
