battlefield.
A giant man, with more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body, bleeding profusely.
But he still stood upright, like an iron tower.
The giant man was standing on a mountain of corpses.
The corpse mountain was piled up by the corpses of the soldiers of the Great Chu garrison.
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!"
Hou Yi burst out laughing heartily.
The laughter was wild and resounded throughout the world.
"happy!"
"What a pleasure!"
"Although I lost this time, the killing was really enjoyable!"
Hou Yi smiled ferociously, not showing any sign of defeat or decadence.
More than half of the Ming Dynasty wolf soldiers who followed Hou Yi were destroyed!
The brutality of this battle is evident!
Facing Hou Yi far away was Fan Chun, the commander of the Chu garrison.
He was originally dressed in white robes and silver armor, but now they were all stained red with blood. The silver armor was damaged in many places, revealing heart-shaking wounds.
Within a few dozen feet around Fan Chun, there were countless corpses of Ming wolf soldiers.
"My name is Hou Yi! What's your name?" Hou Yi suddenly asked.
"Fan Chun."
"Okay, I remember your name!"
"Although I had a great time killing this time, my soldiers and horses are really inferior and not as good as your elite soldiers and horses. Next time, I will bring real elite soldiers and we will fight again to show you what I am really like. strength!"
No one would question that Hou Yi could not afford to lose.
In this battle, he was indeed the most terrifying killing machine.
The number of Chu soldiers killed by him alone was almost equal to the total number of kills by the wolf soldiers he led.
At the same time, as the garrison commander, Fan Chun only killed about half as many enemies as Hou Yi.
There is such a big gap between the first level of Hedao Realm and the ninth level of Transformation God Realm?
No, it's not that simple.
Hou Yi's real combat power is far beyond the first level of Hedao Realm!
As for Fan Chun, he did not kill as many enemies as Hou Yi, but as a battlefield commander, it was his mission to secure victory.
That is the difference between a commander-in-chief and a vanguard general.
"well!"
Fan Li couldn't help but sigh.
Many people understand the truth.
But the terror of slaughter created by Hou Yi on the battlefield also had a huge impact.
At least now, the soldiers of the Chu army stared at Hou Yi standing on the mountain of corpses from a distance, with fear in their eyes.
No matter how serious the injuries were, Hou Yi never fell.
No matter how many times they charge, they will all be killed by Hou Yi.
Such an enemy is indeed too terrifying.
Even Fan Li felt that he could not kill Hou Yi in this battle, and it was a victory but a defeat.
Also feeling extremely depressed were the remnants of the Ming Dynasty Wolf Soldiers.
They fought bravely and were not afraid of death, but because of their defeat, they were demoted by their generals as "too many soldiers and horses"?
The blood was shed in vain.
Sweat is wasted.
The wolf soldiers clenched their fists, feeling deeply worthless for the soldiers who died on the battlefield!
"I'm leaving!"
"Young man named Fan, please wash your neck and wait for the next fight with me!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Hou Yi flew back.
With a rough and strong body, the speed is surprisingly fast.
Except for Wu Zhui, who had not yet returned, no one in Fan Li's army could catch up with Hou Yi's speed.
However, the remnants of the wolf soldiers suddenly realized that something was wrong.
They were still resenting the general's contempt for them just now!
In the blink of an eye, the general retreated, but he left people like himself on the battlefield to die?
The Chu troops also discovered this strange scene!
Since ancient times, outstanding generals have shared joys and sorrows with their soldiers.
Any general who dares to abandon his robes on the battlefield is destined to be infamy for eternity.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yi really dared to do this? !
"Ruthless enough..." Fan Li said softly.
He knew that Hou Yi did not abandon the wolf soldiers on purpose.
But the outcome was decided, and Hou Yi had to leave alone.
If he attempts to lead the remnants of the wolf soldiers to withdraw from the battlefield, the latter will only become a burden to him.
As a result, he could only be entangled by the Chu garrison until his spiritual energy was exhausted, and he died in battle with the remnants of the wolf soldiers.
"Mr. Jin, what do you think of these Ming troops?" A deputy general came to Fan Li and asked for instructions in a low voice.
Fan Li shook his head: "This battle is under the full command of my third brother. You should wait for his general orders."
"yes!"
The deputy general took the order and commanded the army to surround the remnants of the wolf soldiers while quietly waiting for Fan Chun's final order.
However, Fan Chun made no movement.
On a battlefield littered with corpses, Fan Chun held a silver gun in his arms and meditated with his legs crossed.
Fan Li only thought that he had suffered too much damage and needed to run around to repair the injury.
Unexpectedly, I guessed wrong!
The battlefield is the best training room for tempering military martial arts.
The ways of killing, the ways of life and death, and the ways of military strategists complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses are all demonstrated here!
Fan Chun actually gained enlightenment on the battlefield!
One hour, two hours, three hours...
As the sun set and night approached, Fan Chun suddenly opened his eyes!
Surging spiritual energy surges out of the body!
It permeated the entire battlefield, like a big wave, and like an iron horse shouting for endless killing!
Fan Chun jumped up, holding a silver gun and hovering in mid-air.
He looked down at the remnants of the wolf soldiers from a high position, as if the God of War had descended to earth!
"Surrender without killing!"
Fan Chun uttered four words, and his power was no less powerful than that of Hou Yi half a day ago.
Fan Li looked happy when he saw this.
He knew that his third child had broken through to the Hedao realm!
This is a huge surprise!
Fan Li even doubted that if there was another battle, would Hou Yi still be able to escape from Fan Chun?
"Surrender without killing!!!!!!"
The whole army of Da Chu shouted in unison and raised their weapons high.
It seems that if the wolf soldiers dare to hesitate for a moment, they will immediately face disaster!
drop? Or die?
It's not a difficult decision.
Half a day ago, if Hou Yi had not said those extremely insulting words, the wolf soldiers would have been willing to fight to the end!
Being brave and not afraid of death is the advantage of wolf soldiers.
But now, the wolf soldiers hesitated.
If the commander is like this, is it worth their lives?
Bang!
I don't know who took the lead and quietly dropped the weapon on the ground.
One person sets an example, and countless others follow suit.
Soon, all the wolf soldiers disarmed and surrendered to the Chu army.
…
…………
"Failed!?"
Prince Wanli thought he heard wrongly.
Hou Yi personally led his army to pursue him, but the result was that his entire army was wiped out and he fled back to the rear alone?
According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, Hou Yi should be executed!
But for Prince Wanli, military law was in vain.
He asked about the situation in detail, his expression uncertain for a while.
"I fought fiercely with the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu, but Fan Li took advantage?"
"It's a pity that after such a long delay, Fan Li will definitely lead his army to withdraw from the Ming Dynasty, and he will not be able to catch up."
In the eyes of Prince Wanli, this was just a small defeat. Fan Li succeeded by luck while he and the Ming army were exhausted.
"hehe."
"Fan Li's good luck will not last long."
"I will return to the court first. As the old saying goes, if you disturb the outside world, you must calm down the inside."
Prince Wanli sneered.
In this trip to regain Yunzhou, he almost wiped out the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, which was a great achievement.
All the shame of the past was washed away in this battle, and his position as prince was now stable, and he only had to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
What surprised him a little was that there was a strong man in the Mahayana realm in Fan Li's army who forced the Holy Lord of Arrows back.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng reminded from the side. "The powerful person in the Mahayana realm of the Chu army should be the black dragon Wu Zui."
Prince Wanli narrowed his eyes: "So it's her?"
"Hey! Although the Mahayana realm is powerful, it is also limited."
"In front of the Emperor's magical power [Pangu Giant Body], the Mahayana realm is not worth mentioning at all!"
Hou Yi grinned widely, looking nothing like a defeated general.
After Zhang Juzheng heard this, he stopped talking.
Now, under the command of Prince Wanli, Nanchao's three thousand people are his close confidants. His status is wandering between the Ming Dynasty and Wanli, which is really embarrassing.
"teacher?"
"Ah? I... I'm here."
Zhang Juzheng was a little surprised.
He no longer dared to mention the old teacher-student relationship, but he didn't expect Wanli to take the initiative to speak.
"My great victory today will be recorded in the annals of history and will be passed down through the ages."
"The teacher is very talented and has great writing skills. I would like to ask the teacher to write the essay himself."
Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this.
He was already an important minister in the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, so you could just go to the Hanlin Academy and find someone to write such disgusting articles about flattering people.
What did Prince Wanli think?
Are you ignoring his face?
Wanli was very happy, and seeing Zhang Juzheng's silence, he just thought he could not determine the main theme of this article, so he continued to mention: "I think that the title of this article is best with "Wanli's Three Great Expeditions"."
"……yes."
…
…………
Fan Li's squadron sent a letter back to the court, briefly explaining the situation of the battle ahead.
"What!?"
"The Three Kingdoms Allied Forces were almost completely destroyed?"
"Yunzhou City returns to the Ming Dynasty!"
"Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu are all dead!"
"Jin Gong didn't even see the shadow of the Yunzhou city wall. He fought a battle with the Ming army in the wilderness and then came back?"
Fan Li's letter was too brief.
The war ahead was only briefly mentioned, and the discussion focused on the future stability of the Five-Nation Alliance.
After all, in his opinion, Empress Yaoguang has betrayed her trust, and it is unknown whether the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Wu will continue to accept the alliance.
As the actual controller of the Chu State, Fan Li had no problem considering the overall situation when dealing with problems.
But he ignored Xiang Chong's feelings.
A short letter, describing the battle extremely briefly, and not mentioning the credit for defeating Hou Yi.
Xiang Chong misunderstood instantly!
He thought that Fan Li was defeated on the front line and that he had returned to the court in disgrace?
"Hahaha... My dear friends, it's not good for Duke Jin to go out, but we should go out of the city to welcome him, right?"
The civil and military officials of Great Chu look at me and I look at you.
A bad start?
The Duke of Jin led an army of 100,000 people to fight a battle, but the letter did not mention the victory or defeat, battle losses, or gains.
"Your Majesty, go out of the city to welcome the return of the army. This is the proper meaning of the title."
An old minister stood up and knelt down to give his advice.
"It's just that there is no famous saying about victory or defeat in the official letter of Jin. Your Majesty should not make a conclusion early."
Xiang Chong became angry when he heard it!
What?
Fan Li just stepped on my head and acted wildly. Apart from him, are there any ministers in the Chu Dynasty who dare to disrespect me? !
"Be bold!"
"Who are you? Do you dare to speak nonsense about me? Aren't you afraid of killing the nine tribes!"
As soon as he said this, Xiang Chong was satisfied that he could frighten the other party.
Unexpectedly, the kneeling old minister raised his head and looked at him in confusion and astonishment.
Not only this old minister, but also the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court became very strange.
"What...what happened? What did I say wrong?"
"For a rebellious minister like him who disrespects the king, it would be easy for him to punish the nine clans!"
After Xiang Chong scolded him, he realized that nearly half of the courtiers in the court were unknown to him.
Damn it!
Fan Li controlled the government, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty promoted and dismissed him. I don't know how much gifts he received in a year.
The more Xiang Chong thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more envious he became.
All this money should belong to him!
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"
Another minister stood up and gave his earnest advice.
"Master Xiang Yuan belongs to the clan, and according to the imperial genealogy, he is your grandfather."
"So, the crime of killing the nine tribes...is really not suitable for Lord Xiang Yuan."
Xiang Chong was so embarrassed when he heard that!
What the hell? !
Since Fan Li is a traitor, shouldn't he be nepotistic?
There is actually someone named Xiang serving as an official in the Chu court? And they are my own grandparents!
"you……"
Xiang Chong wanted to scold him, but managed to hold it back.
He suppressed his anger and asked: "Who are you? Are you also from the royal family?"
The minister shook his head: "I am not the Xiang family."
Xiang Chong was happy when he heard it!
He was about to curse, but he heard the man continue: "The official surname is Fan, and he comes from the collateral line of Li Yanghou. According to the genealogy, I am the uncle of Jin Gong."
Xiang Chong shut up.
You are bigger, you are bigger, you are bigger than the man next to me.
"Your Majesty... prepare to follow me out of the palace to welcome the Duke of Jin back to the court." Xiang Chong said weakly.
Thirty miles away.
Xiang Chong stood wilted, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
The ministers serve as teachers, and the emperor greets them?
This Emperor Chu is so boring!
Xiang Chong was thinking this, but he saw a shabby team heading this way from a distance.
Xiang Chong's eyes lit up instantly!
"Dear ladies, look quickly!"
"Who are those people? Beggars? Or refugees?"
Xiang Chongming knew that Dachu would have good weather this year and there would be no possibility of a large number of homeless beggars.
Moreover, although this was a team without a flag, they were still wearing tattered armor and military uniforms. No matter how you looked at them, you knew they were an army.
"Your Majesty, they are the army." A minister kindly reminded.
"fart!"
"The Duke of Jin led our most elite garrison in Dachu to go on an expedition. How could it be like this when he came back? Could it be that Duke Jin was defeated and escaped back? My overlord ancestors bless me. I hope Duke Jin is fine."
The ministers rolled their eyes and said to themselves, "Your Majesty, can you please stop laughing when you say this?"
Xiang Chong was ecstatic.
No matter how he looked, he saw a defeated army in front of him.
"I wonder how Fan Li is doing?"
"I hope he's at least seriously injured, right?"
Xiang Chong thought happily until he saw the end of the defeated army... followed closely by a well-equipped, majestic army with banners flying.
Looks familiar, seems to be the Great Chu garrison?
Xiang Chong and the civil and military ministers suddenly realized that the armor worn by the defeated general in front of the remnant army did not look like Chu-made military uniforms.
There are two big flags, with the characters "Jin" and "Fan" flying in the wind and shining brightly in the sun!
Surrounded by the Chinese army, Fan Li returned triumphantly with a nine-tin guard of honor.
"Your Majesty, I am back."
Seeing Xiang Chong looking at him blankly, Fan Li took the initiative to speak.
He complained in his mind: We haven't seen each other for a few days, Xiang Chong looks more and more stupid, but I didn't poison him.
"Jin... Duke Jin, thank you for your hard work." Xiang Chong pointed at the group of beggar-like soldiers and finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are they?"
"Prisoners of the Ming Army."
Fan Li didn't take it seriously and answered casually.
Just four words, but Xiang Chong was stunned!
"Prisoner, prisoner...prisoner?"
Won?
What a sad news!
Behind Xiang Chong, the civil and military officials of the Chu and Manchu dynasties all knelt down: "Congratulations, Duke Jin, on your triumphant victory!"
"Everyone loves you... Well, we are all ministers of the same court, so there is no need to pay this grand ceremony. Get up quickly."
Fan Li had been the emperor of the Jin Dynasty for a few days, but he forgot to change his words and was almost exposed.
He saw Xiang Chong's face full of fear and felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, there is something that can change the subject.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen. I received a message from the Daci Dynasty on my way to class. Empress Yaoguang wants to convene a [Five Emperors Alliance]."
"Time, half a month later."
"Location, Mianchi."
