After a bloody battle, the Nanhuai army on Poyang Lake and on the swamp was not large in number, but they all carried longbows and crossbows. They only expected the Chu and Xiang army in the middle to shoot head-on. The two Nanhuai troops at the front and rear were equipped with large shields and spears. The two Nanhuai troops were constantly squeezing from the front to the middle. Countless Chu and Xiang troops were hit by arrows.
"General, what should we do? Who should we capture?"
"Nanhuai is good at water fighting. The one on the boat must be real!"
"I don't think so. The latter one is true. As a general, he must personally cut off our retreat."
"Which general dares to stand up in front of us, Chu Xiang? I think the previous one is true. At this time, all the ambush troops are out, knowing that we dare not go forward. If we go to get him, we will fall into the trap and be eaten alive here. .”
A group of generals of the Chu Xiang Army were hiding in the middle of the army, talking to each other and discussing what to do.
Ma Liu sighed and said: "Now is not the time to guess who is the leader. The other party guessed that I was too suspicious and wiped out both the front and rear armies. Now that four generals have appeared, they know Chu Xiang's tactics. In my opinion, All four of them are fake. If we go to capture them again, we might end up here. Without further ado, rush back out of the encirclement!"
After the discussion was finalized, Ma Liu led his army to rush towards the Nanhuai Army in the rear, tore a hole violently, and led a large number of Chu and Xiang troops to break out of the encirclement.
None of the four Nanhuai armies went to catch up, and they only continued to strangle the remaining Chu and Xiang armies. Soon, the Chu and Hunan armies either died or surrendered, and were wiped out.
Four young men in silver helmets gathered together, and one of them asked: "Second Master... just let him run away like that?"
The young man in silver armor and helmet who first appeared in front was Li Dingxing. At this time, he took off his helmet and let out his long hair and said: "There is no way, five thousand people are easy to deal with, but after all, he has more than 20,000 people. If we want to Total annihilation is impossible. If we let him go, the rest will be so easy to deal with. Otherwise, if all of us work together, we will suffer a lot of casualties, and we will be surrounded by three and one missing."
"What are you worried about? Didn't the Second Master plan an ambush on all sides? Just leave the rest to Da Liu and the others!" replied a silver-armored general.
The young man touched his head and smiled: "Second Master, this trick of yours is really wonderful. I'm almost addicted to being the Second Master! Hey, if I had known, I would have told the princes and the others to have more people pretend to be princes. Chu Xiang in the south Isn’t there nothing the army can do?”
Li Dingxing smiled bitterly and said: "When Brother's big gun dances, it's hard to imagine that he is the 'little overlord'. Quickly clean up, let's go to the south to support him."
Everyone gathered together, and soon the battlefield was cleaned up. Li Yaoyang led four troops and a total of more than 30,000 Nanhuai troops to rush south.
Ma Liu led the remnants of the army to look north in a hurry. As soon as they reached the foot of Mount Lu, a group of people suddenly appeared. It was the Nanhuai Army. The leader was a general in silver armor and a silver helmet. He held a mace and shouted: "Ma Liu, you Chu Xiang are not experts." Do you want to capture the general? Come on, capture me, Li Dingxing!"
Ma Liu scolded angrily: "Look at your bearded face, you are still pretending to be Li Dingxing! Nanhuai is simply bullying others!"
"General? The opponent's army only has three to five thousand men. We still have more than ten thousand men. Do we want to capture him?"
Ma Liu replied angrily: "What are we going to do with him? He has a big beard and is holding a mace. No matter how stupid he is, he should know that he is not Li Dingxing. There is no use in catching him, so leave quickly."
However, the bearded general pursued him, and the Chu Xiang army just ran away with their heads in their hands, eventually leaving hundreds of corpses behind and bypassing Mount Lu.
Before they had run far, another group of soldiers and horses appeared in front of them, blocking the road.
"Hey! Ma Liu, isn't it time to capture the general? Grandpa Li Dingxing will stand here today and let you take it! As long as you can beat me, I will tie up my hands and feet and follow you!" The leading general is still wearing silver armor. He wears a helmet, but his body is a bit bloated, so fat that the armor can barely cover his big belly.
"Bad luck! What bad luck! Come with me and rush over!" Ma Liu cursed repeatedly and rushed forward to fight again. In the end, Ma Liu ran away, leaving behind hundreds of corpses again.
Ma Liu never dreamed that in this short one-day journey, he would encounter eight Nanhuai armies before and after. The leading generals all looked like silver armor and silver helmets. Just looking at their appearance, none of them could compare with Li Dingxing. , that is, the first four are really hard to guess. I think the real body is among those four.
"We hunt geese every year, but this year the geese pecked their eyes..." Ma Liu ran to an open space to rest. Looking behind him, there were only more than 4,000 Chu and Xiang troops still following him, and everyone was injured.
"General Ma, this...killed the soldier, how will you explain to the prince when you go back?" A general said worriedly.
Ma Liu sighed: "Let's go south to find General Tong. If he can really capture Li Yaoyang, the prince may not blame him..."
…
Not long after the battle between Ma Liu and Li Dingxing ended, Yi Xiaodao arrived at the battlefield.
"Hey, the corpses here are all those of the Chu Xiang Army. I say that our young prince will definitely win!" A cavalryman looked at the corpses of the Chu Xiang Army all over the ground and couldn't help but said excitedly.
"Nanhuai's body must have been taken away. With so many Chu and Xiang troops, Nanhuai's casualties should be quite large..." Another person answered.
Yi Xiaodao looked at the messy battlefield and said, "It's useless for us to guess here. Let's go to the Nanhuai camp first."
The group of people rushed to the Nanhuai Camp without stopping. There were only two hundred old soldiers guarding the Nanhuai Camp. When they saw Yi Xiaodao, the old soldier guarding the gate quickly saluted: "Master Yi, haven't you returned to the capital? What happened again? came back?"
Yi Xiaodao asked: "Why are you the only ones in the camp? Where are the eldest son, the second son, and the Nanhuai army?" The dozen or so cavalrymen following Yi Xiaodao behind him also pricked up their ears, wanting to know the situation.
"Oh, the second master is so powerful! He defeated that man named Ma Liu from Chu Xiang! He also captured thousands of people! Now the second master led his troops to the south again to help the prince. . Master Yi, do you want to go into the camp and rest for a while?" the old soldier replied.
"If you're tired, please help yourself. I'll go see the eldest and second young master." Yi Xiaodao shouted after him, then he turned his horse and rushed south. Who of the dozen or so cavalry behind him was going to rest? They all patted their horses and followed them.
…
With a "clang" sound, Tong Meng was knocked back by Li Yaoyang's big gun, and the big knife was inserted into the ground. He slid for dozens of steps before barely stopping.
"Such a lot of strength..." Tong Meng praised, "I'm afraid the young prince has already reached the Finger Breath Realm... This is so satisfying!" Tong Meng pulled out the big knife from the ground, and his whole aura instantly trembled.
"That's it for Tian Xing. If you focus less on intrigues, your martial arts attainments will not be bad." Li Yaoyang said calmly.
Tong Meng dragged the knife to the ground and ran dozens of steps in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he came to Li Yaoyang: "Let's preach after you win!" As he said that, a big knife came from bottom to top and chopped off Li Yaoyang's horse head. .
Li Yaoyang reined in the war horse. The horse raised its front hooves and dodged the sword. The big gun pressed down, forcing Tong Meng's big knife back to the ground. Li Yaoyang flew up from his horse and kicked Tong Meng in the face. Tong Meng couldn't dodge and was hit by the kick firmly and flew backwards.
Li Yaoyang's big gun picked up the big knife on the ground and threw it towards Tong Meng. Before Tong Meng could get up, the big knife had arrived and cut off Tong Meng's left hand.
"You lost!" Li Yaoyang stood proudly with a gun, and then said: "As long as Chu Xiang hands over the murderer, I will withdraw immediately. It is not easy for you to practice martial arts, and it is still important to save your life."
Tong Meng rolled on the ground in pain, looked at the severed hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Ah... why are you still standing there... Come on! As long as you kill this kid, I will recommend him as a general in front of the prince!"
At this time, Tong Meng had completely forgotten his previous bet with Li Yaoyang. At this time, he lost his left hand and became angry in his heart, vowing to keep Li Yaoyang here. The Chu Xiang rear army behind him had also arrived at this time. After hearing Tong Meng's order, the army immediately stepped forward and attacked Li Yaoyang.
Li Yaoyang got on his horse, and the Nanhuai soldiers behind him advised him: "Your Majesty, let's go quickly."
Just as Li Yaoyang turned his horse's head, the Chu and Xiang troops from the front, left and right came rushing in and fought with the Nanhuai troops, and screams came one after another.
"Escort the prince and leave first!" Nanhuai soldiers fought desperately to break through, but they had no choice but to delay for a long time. The siege was so thick that Nanhuai's heavy cavalry could not take advantage of it. From time to time, Nanhuai cavalrymen were dragged off their horses and stabbed to death with random shots.
Li Yaoyang sat on his horse and danced wildly with his big gun. Every time he fired a shot, he would shoot away a group of Chu Xiang soldiers. Unfortunately, there were too many soldiers. He just shot four people away, and five more were added to make up for it. It was really impossible to kill them all. From time to time, someone brave would stab the enemy with a cold spear. Fortunately, there were many cavalry around him, everyone was fighting against each other, and Li Yaoyang was always on guard. Most of the Chu Xiang soldiers who attacked by surprise were killed on the spot, but the Nanhuai Army also fell into a bitter battle.
"Is this the first day of fighting? Separate! Separate! Capture this kid!" Tong Meng grabbed his severed hand and shouted after Chu Xiang's army.
After hearing the order, the Chu Xiang soldiers began to infiltrate, slowly separating Li Yaoyang and the Nanhuai cavalry, and soon formed a blockade in the middle, dragging Li Yaoyang towards the formation. The cavalrymen reacted and wanted to break through the Chu Xiang army's blockade, but failed several times to break through.
Li Yaoyang fell into the enemy formation alone. Several soldiers carrying long axes took advantage of a gap and pressed Li Yaoyang's big gun to the ground. Two soldiers walked around behind the horse, and three soldiers rolled under the horse. Everyone made a sound and wanted to chop off the legs of Li Yaoyang's horse. A strong soldier held a big halberd, held up Li Yaoyang's armor, and was about to push Li Yaoyang off his horse.
At the critical moment, Li Yaoyang pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed wildly up and down, killing all the soldiers who were about to attack the horse's legs in a sneak attack. Then he grabbed the halberd and broke it. The halberd was thrown to the soldier holding the halberd pole. Stabbed to death on the spot.
Tong Meng saw Li Yaoyang's incomparable bravery outside the field. In just a short time, he had killed nearly a hundred people on his own, and he didn't appear to be exhausted. Instead, he became more and more courageous as he fought. "Pa" Tong Meng threw away his severed arm, picked up the big knife on the ground, and stared at Li Yaoyang closely.
A nimble Chu Xiang soldier took the opportunity to pounce on Li Yaoyang. Tong Meng felt happy, and he gathered his momentum and slashed in the air. He slashed out a sword energy and slashed at the Chu Xiang soldier. The target was Li Yaoyang who was behind the soldier.
Li Yaoyang was about to raise his sword to block the soldiers when he suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air. Li Yaoyang knew something was wrong, so he abandoned his sword, drew back his big gun, and smashed it hard. The soldier was attacked from both sides by the sword energy and Li Yaoyang's big gun, and was immediately beaten to pieces.
Li Yaoyang looked at Tong Meng holding a knife in one arm behind Chu Xiang's army from a distance, and sighed to himself: "What a cruel heart..."
Tong Meng was extremely happy because he saw a long, thin wound on Li Yaoyang's cheek.
