Li Wu's whole body was surging with energy and blood, just like when Meng Chang had not yet attained the noble life, the hot energy and blood all over his body roamed violently on his limbs and bones.
There is also a difference. Meng Chang can draw blood to replenish himself after killing enemies in battle, but Li Wu cannot. His majestic energy and blood seem to be lent to him by someone to spread the blood from the soldier master. inherited.
"Big leader, Chi Yi's brother was bitten by the merchant army and was unable to complete the breakout!"
Only Long Yi, who had lost his general, was left with Li Wu, as well as Xuan Yi and Dao Yi. When he went on the expedition, there were twelve clan coalition forces, but now there are only two of them with him. Long Yi is also leaderless, which is not a problem. desolate.
Of course, the survivors also included those Tooyi who had been screwing around all night and followed Laihu on the run. They left without saying hello and in the dark before the encirclement.
Li Wu was struggling, seeing that he finally managed to rush out with a large force, and now he had to fight back to save others. The battle had already begun, and the other troops who were bluffing were just remnants, and they could not delay for too much time. , when the reinforcements of the merchant army arrive, it will really be a dying situation. Everyone present except him may be buried in this land.
But abandoning Chiyi means that the trump card in his hand will be broken again. Without the support of these clan dignitaries, what can he do even if he returns to Huaidu?
When a lonely man returns home, what greets him may not necessarily be fine wine and delicacies, but may be the raging civil war of the Yi tribe.
As a king, only when he has the power to suppress everything and has supporters who firmly support him can the king have the majesty and honor he deserves.
"Others, keep rushing forward. I will lead my bodyguard to rescue people."
As soon as Li Wu finished speaking, he saw bursts of arrows scattered in the surrounding woods and the sound of crossbows piercing the air. There were all archers and crossbowmen on the hillside, and there were many shield formations on the mountain road ahead. The Dongyi Army broke out of Lu Renjie's blockade. , and immediately ran into the second line of defense that Yu Hualong had ambushed between the mountain roads for a long time.
Yu Hualong did it more ruthlessly and directly than Lu Renjie. A shallow pit more than two feet wide was forcibly dug out on the mountain road between the two armies. A strong stench was exuded in the mud pit. The Yi soldiers didn't know the depth, so they went deep. In a moment, they were scratched all over their bodies. They fell to the ground and tore the skin all over their bodies. After a while, vicious sores and pox spread all over their bodies, and they died with painful wails.
The future God of Pox was indeed so terrifying. The brutality of Pox's poison stopped the Dongyi Army from moving forward, not daring to take another half step forward.
"Hahaha, Chief Li, I heard that you want to treat me, Uncle Ji, the great Shang, with water and wine. I, Yu Hualong, the vanguard of the Imperial Shang Zhengyi King's Division, would like to ask Chief Li, if I dare to stay and drink a glass of wine with Uncle Ji?"
After hearing about Meng Chang, Li Wu seemed to have found a way to release his grievances. He pointed at Yu Hualong and cursed loudly. When he was excited, he even mixed Beihai dialect, Huai dialect, and Mandarin together and uttered words, which made people unable to resist. .
"You despicable people, you call yourself the Master of the Great Shang Dynasty in vain, you use evil tricks and don't respect etiquette. Who are the barbarians? We are the barbarians, how can you be more shameless than us!!!"
"Pfft!" Yu Hualong couldn't hold it back for a moment and laughed out loud: "Chief Li is so funny. Can't you just allow you to use tricks? Our etiquette is to obey our own people. For the savages who don't obey Wang Hua, mere tricks are not enough. It’s embarrassing. Moreover, you were the one who avoided the battle earlier. In order to lure Qin out, does Leader Li know how much effort we put in? Now that we have suffered a loss, he blames us for not using force to win."
There were bursts of ridicule from Dashang's military formation.
Perhaps this is the joy of being a good friend while a different path is a cunning villain. At least, the soldiers of Dashang felt that it was good. The battle was easy and they had a lot of credit. Following Meng Jibo, in addition to the daily training tasks, No matter it is food or achievements, it makes people happy.
Li Wu looked at Yu Hualong hatefully, with a burning fire in his heart. He pointed a pair of furry fingers at the shoal and activated the water control method. He saw the poisonous water in the shoal rising out of thin air, and with a wave of his big hand, it spread to the shoal. Merchant formation.
Yu Hualong was shocked. He had never heard that the King of Huaiyi had the ability to control water. He immediately shouted at the crowd behind him.
"Where is my son Yu De!"
A vermilion gourd flew out from Yu De's hand and floated in mid-air, absorbing all the poison of the pox plague and instantly resolving the crisis.
"Chief Li has a good trick. He uses my acne to deal with me. He is playing tricks on me in front of Sui Zu and trying to please others. I can do it with my own hands. What can you do?"
Seeing that the Shang army began to encircle them again, Li Wu immediately gave up the idea of turning around to rescue him. If he was attacked from both sides, he would not continue to break through. Looking at the intercepted road back east, he felt very depressed.
"May Lord Yang protect Brother Chiyi. Everyone, please follow me in the charge and break through the ambush set up by this gang of villains. Let's return to Huaidu!"
"I, Li Wu, will remember you for today's revenge, and I will repay you a hundredfold in the future."
Yu De dismissed it: "It's ridiculous. You should escape alive first. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. There are still two lines of fortifications in the rear. I just don't know how many brothers Chief Li can abandon?"
Li Wu stopped answering and ran straight towards Yu De with his head and six arms, while the Huaiyi warriors behind him continued to charge.
Yu De was not a reckless man. He skillfully threw out a five-directional cloud to protect himself, and then flew into the clouds to avoid Li Wu's attack. He also tried to guide Li Wu and pull the army towards the center of the formation.
"Big leader, stop charging. Our goal is not to kill the generals and capture the flag. If we delay for a while, the other Shang troops will catch up, and we will be in danger."
General Daoyi on the side reminded Li Wu breathlessly. Li Wu watched Yu Hualong and his son gnashing their teeth, pointed at the arrogant Yu De, and then led the army to try to penetrate the Shang army again from the weak point.
"Send the order, let the leader of Li lead his troops there, and listen to my orders later to intercept the flow. Let's just leave Xuanyi behind."
Seeing Li Wu charging into the battle and killing everyone, Yu De was a little unwilling. He had just left Kowloon Island not long ago, and he was at the age when he was competitive, so he suggested to Yu Hualong.
"Father, why don't we just annihilate them all? All we need is the Poison Pox that I specially refined to take action and keep them safe so that they never come back."
Yu Hualong glanced sideways at his youngest child, who was also the most ambitious, and explained in a deep voice: "Oh, are you more powerful than Uncle Meng Ji? Uncle Meng Ji repeatedly emphasized that each army should take its own troops and fight steadily. Zha, every link is indispensable, Ji Bo’s military skills are merits and demerits, so please think carefully."
"But are we just going to let him go?"
"Then what if? A trapped beast still fights, and a dying beast is the most ferocious. When you become a general, you will understand that sometimes it is important to win the battle, but it is even more important to win the battle while keeping your own people alive."
After saying that, the two watched helplessly as Li Wu led the remaining people to escape to the outer circle again, and then Yu Hualong charged with a strong shield, violently squeezing the long team apart, leaving Xuanyi's troops behind.
"Shields come forward, covered with arrows."
Waves of crossbow arrows shot in sections and bow arrows fired upwards were like a downpour. After falling to the ground, the cold light splashed with blood, blooming the fragrance of life.
The remaining Dongyi army did not dare to look back. They could only grit their teeth and follow the majestic leader in front, rushing forward with all their might, looking blankly at the white clouds in the east.
This suffering Dongyi army experienced several interceptions and chases, and stumbled through the joint blockade between the merchant army and Donglu.
As soon as they climbed over a high slope, they saw the Donglu people who had been suppressed by Li Wu in the past attacking from the southeast. After a period of fighting, they passed through a half-high grassland. The Xu army, which had always been looked down upon by Dongyi, also Howling and screaming, he burst out with amazing fighting power and beat the drowned dog hard.
Fighting all the way, reducing numbers along the way.
Gradually, Li Wu also slowly realized that he seemed to be making great progress, breaking through several formations, but there were fewer and fewer people following him.
By the time he came out of the camp, he had encountered at least a dozen waves of enemy troops. Each wave of merchant soldiers deliberately let him break through, staggering the elites and scraping off the friendly troops behind him, just like slicing meat, bit by bit. Break up the whole steak until only the toughest piece of bone-in meat remains.
When they arrived at the edge of the mountain, what greeted Li Wu was not the joy of escaping. At some point in the valley leading out of the mountain, a large number of banners had gathered. Waiting for them was the main force of the merchant army, waiting for work.
Despair struck, even Li Wu, who kept cheering for the army, couldn't help but remain silent at this moment.
The banners were fluttering and the formations were strict. From a distance, the person riding the horse and holding the halberd was none other than Emperor Xin, the leader of the great merchants. Under the banner of the Chinese army was the cunning man Meng Chang, who was shaking his feather fan in the autumn frost.
Li Wu let out a heavy breath. Dashang's chaotic relationship between monarch and ministers was like his chaotic heart.
Everything happened too fast. He, who has always regarded himself as a wise man, now thinks back carefully and feels that he has been passive from the very beginning when he decided to defend the pass.
Li Wu regretted that the current situation was not as satisfying as when the Shang army had just arrived and had a decisive battle when the foothold was not stable. He might not win, but he would never be bullied by that kid into such a humiliating situation and lose the battle.
When encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave one wins. He just gave in slightly, but Meng Chang pushed even further and hit him with a combination of odd and right punches that knocked him out.
Li Wu looked desolately at the army of less than ten thousand people behind him. Long Yi was gone, and Chi Yi and Xuan Yi were also left behind. He could only hear the faint shouts of killing.
Three hundred thousand troops crossed the Huaihe River, but now there are less than ten thousand behind them. What went wrong? Where did Fang Xiang go?
"It's just a little bit close, just a little bit close!"
"Ping Linghou, where are you? You promised to attack from both sides, but where are you? I hate you!"
In fact, he knew in his heart that it wasn't that Ping Linghou didn't arrive in time, but that Dong Yi was defeated too quickly.
Looking at Li Wu who was hesitating in front of the battle and looking embarrassed, Di Xin solemnly took an ax from Erai's hand. The body was dark red and the blade shone with gold.
The aura of the king burst out from the axe, and as Di Xin grasped it, the people around him seemed to see a mysterious bird singing loudly in the sky.
"Taste, a hero will not die at the hands of humble men. This man is worthy of a fight. I want to personally take off his head and make a wine vessel, and give him the greatest respect!"
Mengchang raised his eyebrows and looked at the king. Is this a decent thing?
It seems a little bit, at least not everyone's skull is worthy of being used as the king's wine vessel, at least Yuan Futong and Su Hu do not have this treatment.
Mengchang has no intention of disobeying the king. At this point, Li Wu himself has no value. If he is alive, he will be just an old king who has lost support when he returns to Huaidu. Dongyi likes to respect the strong and can regain stability. Staying in position is not something that happens overnight.
Of course, the death of King Huaiyi is also a good ending. At least this person is quite courageous. In the future, if he reacts and becomes dormant, there will be a lot of trouble.
"Mengchang, I wish you great victory and good military fortune!"
"Hahaha, okay, you understand my feelings." Di Xin got on his horse, pointed the ax in his hand at Li Wu, and shouted loudly.
"Li Wu, I think you are considered a great hero. Do you dare to compete with me?"
Li Wu's eyes lit up, and he seemed to see the light again. He looked at Di Xin with strange eyes, as if he didn't understand why a king should risk his life on the battlefield like this lost dog like him. However, , it doesn’t matter, if you can really drag Di Xin to be buried with you before you die, it would be a good choice.
After agreeing to the promise, Li Wu seemed to be frozen in place, motionless as if his soul had died.
Suddenly, a ferocious aura surged out of his body, constantly releasing pressure, as if an aloof ape escaped from the trap between heaven and earth, looking at the world's momentum at a glance.
Mengchang frowned. Others might not be familiar with it. Regarding the understanding of monkeys in mythology, no one present knew better than him how ferocious the monkeys in Chinese mythology were.
This familiar stick is far better than Zhu Yan's wild aura of mountains and seas but is of the same origin, as well as the majestic power of water control. His identity is almost locked at a glance, Wu Zhi Qi, Huaihui Water Monster, but This Lord of Huai River is really capable. With the help of the blood of the Soldier Lord, he can actually pull out three fine gold cast iron rods from the void in an instant by using the three heads and six arms. Their shape and power are exactly the same as those held by Zhu Yan back then.
No wonder Dayu wanted to lock you up. How many river-dwelling needles did Emperor Yu have to take? The monkey deserves to be beaten!
Badai grabbed Meng Chang who was about to step forward again and shook his head gently.
"General Erai, now is not the time to be willful. The person opposite is no longer Li Wu, but another powerful being. The king is in danger!"
Meng Chang firmly opposed and strongly resisted this practice of secretly changing the account of a substitute trainer. He just shook his head with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Ji, have you seen that big axe?"
"That ax is called the Yanyue Axe. Five hundred years ago, ancestor Chengtang used this axe to kill the Divine Dragon of Xia with one blow. I don't know if the king has the power of Chengtang. The monkey opposite is not the original body either. , It’s rare for the king to be happy. Just let him go, otherwise he will return disappointed like Jizhou last time, and you ministers will still suffer."
Meng Chang's eyes widened, looking at evil as if he were looking at something strange. He was usually naive and silly, but this big brother was not stupid. He always understood people and things.
Eilai touched the back of his head honestly, bared his teeth and smiled at Meng Chang.
On the battlefield ahead, two figures intertwined in the air, golden light flashing. Di Xin was wearing a silver-white battle armor and holding a Yanyue ax that emitted a bright red light, showing a fierce momentum. Li Wu, the leader of Dongyi, has completely transformed into an ape, holding an iron rod and gathering energy in his arms.
The two men rushed towards each other, the battle ax struck like lightning, and the iron rod came forward. A deafening roar echoed across the valley.
Di Xin suddenly twirled, and Yan Yue drew a red light in front of him. Following Yan Yue's swing, everyone seemed to hear a long horn in their ears, and the desolate aura stimulated people's goose bumps. This blow hit the big ape with great force and force.
The monkey seemed to be stunned by the sound of the horn, and then his pupils flashed with golden eyes, and his consciousness became clear. He hurriedly swung the iron rod into a heavy blow, and the dark energy directly broke the red light, the fireworks exploded, and the two of them flew upside down at the same time. out.
"Hahaha, have fun, monkey, keep fighting!"
The contempt in the monkey's eyes was even worse, as if he was just mocking the king of the world, not even a little bit worse than Dayu.
Just when he was using the magic of heaven and earth to enlarge his body, a bright golden bell appeared on the ape's nose, and a huge iron rope was hung around his neck, constantly pulling him backwards.
The monkey was furious, roaring and beating wildly, and the sound of huge waves was like the tide on the Qiantang River, surging in this mountain and forest land, it was really weird.
The roar was useless, but a moment later in the mansion space deep in the Huai River, a sleeping giant ape opened its eyes that had been sleeping for thousands of years. Two golden lights in its eye sockets penetrated into the sky, and its angry roar scared the fishermen on the Huai River to flee. This body of water.
"Who pulled me? Who dares to blaspheme God?"
A headless man appeared with his breasts as his eyes and his navel as his mouth. He dragged a huge iron chain and walked into a deeper space.
"No, they broke the rules first. Their army had gods participating in the battle. I smelled the disgusting smell of burning."
"Silly monkey, I am the commander-in-chief. When have you ever been on the battlefield in person?"
PS: The Divine Dragon of Xia is just a personal guess. I am not involved in the discussion of the chronology of the Xia Dynasty. There are different opinions. The totems of the Xia Dynasty include bears, dragons, and grains. Take the dragon as a reference.
Furthermore, when I was coding, my sister asked me which one was more powerful, Xing Tian or Wuzhi Qi. I thought about it carefully, and it seemed that I couldn’t give an answer. The two had never faced each other. In terms of pure performance, Xing Tian Wu Ganqi's opponent is the Emperor of Heaven, and Wu Zhiqi is sent by Dayu to surrender by Yinglong (some say Gengchen). From the cards, Xingtian's force is higher. personal opinion.
