The flag fluttered in the wind, with a big "Xiao" character on it.
When Zhong Bai, who was breaking out of the encirclement, saw this, he was shocked at first, and then started to shout loudly:
"The reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements have arrived! The rebels are at the end of their game, kill them——"
Not only did he see the flag raised high outside, but his soldiers also saw it. Listening to his words at this time, the soldiers undoubtedly saw hope from the desperate situation!
In the previous hard battle, Zhong Bai's troops never gave up in the desperate situation. Now that a breakthrough is in sight, it can be imagined that the morale has been greatly boosted, the combat power has increased sharply, and the soldiers are killing more fiercely.
Moreover, Zhong Baiguang was a righteous man. This time he raised an army and the generals who followed him were all extraordinary in martial arts.
Especially Liang Yuan, with his sword in hand, he fought ferociously, slashing left and right, and with one strike of the sword, someone would fall to the ground with a scream. No one among the rebel soldiers could stop him. Those who died under his sword, I don’t know how many there are anymore.
The same was true on Xiao Yuan's side. The fierce general Peng Shuang was at the front of the crowd. He held a long knife and charged into the formation, diving directly into the crowd of rebels.
There was a commotion. As he appeared, countless rebels immediately surrounded him. More than a dozen spears came at him. Peng Shuang refused to dodge. He raised the knife with one hand and held the opponent with his own strength. Dozens of soldiers then stepped forward, raised their arms fiercely, and smashed the sword shaft on a row of soldiers. Suddenly, they screamed miserably, and several people flew backwards, bringing down everyone.
His broadsword was fierce and domineering, opening and closing as if entering an uninhabited land, sweeping and slashing, often not one person was beheaded, but a row of soldiers were knocked away.
Such a strong general can defeat thousands of armies. On the battlefield, his role is really great! It also greatly boosted our own morale.
And he was so brave that no one among the rebels dared to fight. In the area where he appeared, it caused the rebel soldiers to retreat continuously.
Under this situation, the rebels on the right quickly became unable to withstand the attack. And when there was chaos here, it affected the whole body, and the entire rebel formation also changed one after another.
At this time, it was no longer the rebels that were besieging Zhong Bai's troops. Instead, Zhong Bai and Xiao Yuan attacked and annihilated the enemy troops on the right, and then they united and began a full-scale counterpressure.
After a successful breakout, Zhong Bai's confidence immediately increased under the open terrain, and his combat power was fully utilized.
The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. With Xiao Yuan's support, the battle situation was completely reversed. Seeing his troops retreating steadily, the rebel general first roared angrily, then gritted his teeth and said: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
Because if he doesn't retreat, his entire army will be wiped out!
Following his order, the rebels who had been disrupted immediately turned around and fled.
But the people behind retreated so quickly that the rebels who were fighting in front had no time. I don't know how many people were shot by random arrows during the retreat and fell to the ground howling miserably.
Because the rebels were all armed with spears and wearing cloths on their heads, they were easy to distinguish. Even if the two armies were united, there would be no confusion.
At this time, Zhong Bai also saw Xiao Yuan. He hurried over and shouted in surprise: "Brother Xiao! It's really you!"
His excitement can be imagined. Hearing his shout, Xiao Yuan laughed loudly and then said: "Brother Zhong, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. The rebels have been completely defeated. You and I should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory!"
"What Brother Xiao said is absolutely true!" Zhong Bai responded, and then immediately began to command his men to pursue the rebels.
The two sides started a fierce battle and turned into a chase. As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. Once defeated, the momentum cannot be reversed. The rebels can be said to have abandoned their armor and lost their armor. They ran all the way and died all the way.
In the end, almost all of them were wiped out, and those who managed to escape became stragglers.
After the pursuit, the two armies stopped and began to count after the battle.
The victory of this battle was all because Xiao Yuan's army arrived unexpectedly, caught the rebels by surprise, and then crushed them with their morale.
After the two met again, Zhong Bai laughed excitedly and said, "Brother Xiao, without your help in today's battle, Zhong Bai will be in danger."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuan waved his hand and did not talk much about this topic, but said: "Brother Zhong, wasn't he in Yangzhou to quell the chaos? Why did he end up near Yuyang?"
"Brother Xiao, isn't it the same? He traveled hundreds of miles to attack Yuyang." As he spoke, Zhong Bai glanced at Xiao Yuan.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan smiled and shook his head: "According to this, Brother Zhong's next plan should be the same as mine?"
"Lead the troops to serve the king!"
"Lead the troops to serve the king!"
The two said almost at the same time, and Zhong Bai laughed again: "Haha! It seems that the heroes have the same view."
Before, I thought that this battle would be a disaster for me, but I didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would appear here. Not only did he save me, but he also agreed with me. Zhong Bai was really happy.
After laughing, he suddenly said: "Brother Xiao, I have an idea, that is, I don't know if Brother Xiao is willing."
"Oh? Brother Zhong, please tell me." Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhong Bai said: "When we first met, we felt like old friends at the first sight. In today's battle, Brother Xiao even risked his life to help, and his military ideas are the same as mine. Zhong Bai is not talented. If Brother Xiao never gives up, I am willing to marry you here." For brothers!”
Unexpectedly, this is what he said. Xiao Yuan didn't react for a while and said in a daze: "Brother Zhong, what are you..."
Thinking that he was unwilling, Zhong Bai became a little anxious at that time: "Brother Xiao looks down on me, Zhong Bai."
"No, no, no, Brother Zhong misunderstood." Xiao Yuan came to his senses and waved his hand quickly.
"In that case, let's get started without further delay."
"ah?"
"Get the wine!" Before Xiao Yuan could say anything else, Zhong Bai shouted loudly.
Not long after, the sergeant came over with a tray with two bronze cups on it. The wine was already rising. Zhong Bai took out a dagger, then lightly scratched his palm, and then made a fist with his hand. , dropped two drops of blood into the wine glass, and then looked at Xiao Yuan.
The same was true for the latter. After finishing, the two of them also picked up the bronze cups.
"With heaven and earth as evidence, today you and I, brothers, are here to make a blood alliance!"
As he spoke, Zhong Bai lifted the hem of his clothes, faced the mountains in the distance, knelt down and said seriously:
"The emperor and heaven are above, and the thick soil is the proof. I, Zhong Bai."
"I, Xiao Yuan."
"We are sworn to Jinlan here to share joys and sorrows and adversities! From now on, the two of us are of the same mind. If we violate this oath, we will be punished by heaven and earth!"
The two spoke in unison, with firm expressions. After speaking, they both drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.
Who would have thought that the two of them would become sworn brothers.
In ancient times, people valued loyalty and righteousness, and this was even more true when they were sworn brothers.
