The mountains outside Liyang City.
??Sima Dekan sat high on his horse with a stern look on his face.
??“These rebellious ministers and thieves, a mob, dare to stop the heavenly soldiers. They are really looking for death.
??Give me horses to set up camp and clear the way. "
??Some people set up strongholds and others defended them.
??Detours are not allowed.
??If they don't pull out this nail on the road, once they march, they will face a shot from the back. It is extremely uncomfortable to think about it.
??So, he had to fight.
??At the very least, this army that came all the way from Yangzhou must be killed and crippled.
??It is common sense that when an emperor travels, ghosts and gods avoid him along the way.
??He had never imagined that there would be people preparing to intercept him regardless of life and death. This was simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.
??The ten thousand Xiaoguo Cavalry shouted, and under the leadership of the general, they pushed forward with murderous intent.
??These people are dressed in blood-colored bright light armor, wearing purple and gold leopard helmets, with blood eagles tattooed on their arms. They are all fierce and ferocious.
??Especially when the morale is still there, ten thousand people are like one person, galloping on horseback, slashing and killing with long soldiers, even a huge mountain in front of them will be beaten to collapse.
??As soon as the Yangzhou army took over the battle, it felt very difficult.
??Especially the Xiaoguo Army under the command of Yu Wen, who had recently returned, saw that their former colleagues had now become rebels again, and they were extremely weak and exhausted during the fight. They were weakened by a few points before the battle.
??Fu Junchuo and Xu Ziling took the lead, jumping vertically and horizontally.
??Looking at where the situation was about to collapse, he rushed to the rescue. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely, but he could only stop the decline.
??Amidst people shouting and neighing, someone would fall into a pool of blood from time to time.
??Sima Dekan's face was as cold as ice and he gave orders.
??The flag-bearing soldiers waved flags and 10,000 cavalrymen ran in circles, taking turns to attack, seemingly endlessly.
??After attacking continuously for half an hour, I saw that the position had moved back a stone's throw away, and the opponent was still holding on, so I couldn't hold it anymore.
??"My colleagues, please follow my lead."
??When he gave the order, he would strike with thunder.
??After calculating the casualties, the Yangzhou Army had lost about 3,000 people at this time, while its own cavalry had only lost less than 1,000 people.
??This kind of casualty ratio is purely due to the gap between the soldiers themselves and cannot be made up.
??Not many people were injured by the Yangzhou soldiers. However, as a veteran, Sima Dekan was keenly aware that the opponent's morale had dropped rapidly.
??As long as the offensive is strengthened, the opponent's entire army is likely to collapse.
??"What a patron king, bullshit."
??Sima Dekan clamped his legs, and the sweaty horse looked up to the sky and neighed...
?? He held a halberd and pointed forward, followed by several generals behind him, ready to accelerate and sprint.
??"The Emperor passed away."
??"The emperor is dead..."
??"The fleet has returned."
??Sima Dekan had just rushed ten feet away, but he felt that there was no thunderous sound of hooves behind him.
??Looking out of the corner of his eye.
??I discovered that several generals under his command were also reining in their horses, looking left and right with frightened expressions on their faces.
??He was stunned for a moment and suddenly became furious.
?? roared: "Zuo Bi, Ding Yannian, what are you doing, why don't you follow me and kill you?"
??Delaying a fighter plane is a serious crime and should be executed according to law.
??However, he clearly saw Zuo Bi, Ding Yannian and other generals turning their horses' heads, as if they did not hear what he said.
??The dense cavalry behind them was also in chaos at this time, and there were even situations where horses collided with each other and sergeants attacked each other.
??This is……
??He tried not to spit out a mouthful of blood.
??He listened carefully and heard the sound of "The Emperor has died" all over the mountains and plains.
??In the camp opposite, an earth-shattering cry rang out.
??"Long live the king, long live the king."
??The morale was low and the position was in danger. At this moment, it was immediately impregnable.
??Not only those civilian soldiers who were not even equipped with clothes and armor rushed and killed like chickens.
??The Xiaoguo Army, who lived in the North and had no choice but to defect to Yangzhou, also had bright eyes at this time, howling and charging forward to kill.
??"Why did he die? He was fine not long ago, and he could still control ten girls at night."
??"Assassin, turns out to be an assassin, a patron king..."
??"No wonder I didn't see this world-famous master. It turns out he went to assassinate him."
??Amidst the hoarse shouts from all around, Sima Dekan felt dizzy.
?? He forced himself to sit firmly on his horse, his neck turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Charge the formation, charge the formation, and those who don't follow will be killed."
??As a veteran general, he knows that when the morale of the army is fluctuating, it is most taboo to let his soldiers think.
??Once you think too much, you will lose your energy and courage, and you will not be able to fight this battle.
??So, before the signs of frustration spread completely, he forcibly ordered the supervising team to kill the soldiers who were running around with their swords.
??Take the lead, wave your halberd and move forward.
??At the last moment when the enemy was about to be defeated, he was in chaos first.
??This is not the first time he has encountered this situation, and he does not hope to encounter it again.
??……
??"He is a fierce general, but it's a pity that I can't keep you."
??Yang Lin had just arrived at the battle formation, and he still had time to watch carefully the battle between his own army and the imperial elite.
??This is the only way to go.
??Recruits need to see blood, experience hardships, and go from despair to hope before they can become strong soldiers.
??He can put out fires everywhere just like Xu Ziling.
??However, as a general and a king, you can't just rush into battle again and again, covering the mountains and plains, running for dozens or hundreds of miles to kill soldiers one by one.
??What kind of behavior is that?
??A war is ultimately about soldiers against soldiers, against generals.
??If your strength is not good enough, just raise it and practice it.
??One day, unparalleled soldiers will be trained.
??Now is the best opportunity.
??The opponent has 10,000 elite cavalry, but his personal combat power is much stronger.
??However, more than 20,000 people of our own side have set up camps and formed strongholds to protect themselves.
??With the two masters Fu Junchuo and Xu Ziling rushing back and forth, it was almost possible to collapse, but they were able to hold on.
??This kind of situation is the most painful, and it can also improve the combat effectiveness of the army.
??As long as this battle is won, the more than 20,000 people under his command will immediately become elites.
??This is the reason why Yang Lin is not in a hurry to take action.
??This wait only lasted for two sticks of incense.
??He discovered that Sima Dekan was ready to attack with all his strength, regardless of losses, and to launch a general attack.
??Before Yang Lin could decide whether to take action himself, a more dramatic scene appeared next.
??I don’t know if it was a spy horse coming to report, or it was more likely that the defeated soldiers from the building ship came to the battlefield here.
??Anyway, the news of Yang Guang’s assassination has spread.
??It's like a drought mine exploding in place.
??This news is so shocking that the imperial army is in a state of shock. Where is the morale left to continue fighting?
??Even if Sima Dekan gathered his courage and ordered his men to attack, they would not be able to defeat them. Instead, many more people would die on both sides.
??"Here comes the bow."
??Yang Lin sat on a tall yellow horse and reached out to take the moon-shooting bow from Wei Zhenzhen's hand.
??Wei Zhenzhen always carried the bow and arrows.
??But Yang Lin never took action once.
??At this time, a pair of beautiful eyes were shining, a little curious.
??I wonder if the prince knows how to shoot an arrow. It will be very ugly if he misses later.
??Wanwan, on the other hand, was not curious at all.
??She knows better than anyone else that Yang Lin is very good at archery on horseback, ensuring that the arrow hits the center of the rake.
??"Good bow."
??Yang Lin strummed the bow string and heard a buzzing sound like a dragon's roar.
??The earthquake made the leaves on both sides of the hillside rustle.
??He watched with cold eyes as Sima Dekan's halberd danced in a bloody light, and he was about to join the battle, but Xu Ziling was blocking the front with a cautious look on his face.
??Facing the final counterattack, everyone knows that it will be very difficult at this time.
??Xu Ziling cannot take it lightly.
??"Zi Ling retreat."
??Suddenly, a deep drink sounded in his ears.
??Xu Ziling didn't even think about it. He pointed his toes and jumped back.
?? Looking back in shock, he saw a man on the hillside holding a bow like a full moon.
??Looking from a distance, you can see the black and white cyclones spinning crazily on the opposite arrow.
??In front of the bow and arrow, it was like a black hole swallowing everything was formed.
??The grass blades were flying, the strong wind was surrounding us, and two dragons were faintly flying and roaring.
??"Master."
??Xu Ziling shouted in joy and immediately felt relieved.
??But Sima Dekan was like a snake being stared at by an eagle, feeling only ice water showering on his head.
??Without thinking, he roared angrily and slashed wildly with the halberd in his hand. He no longer dared to sit firmly on the horse's back.
??While drawing the halberd, he pounced to the left.
??His reaction was not unpleasant.
??But he underestimated the power of the arrow.
??collapse……
??A muffled sound resounded in everyone’s heart.
??The arrow streaked through a long black and white flame, and with a pop, it broke the halberd like it was piercing through rotten wood.
??A stream of light passed through.
??Sima Dekan's chest armor was not blocked at all, and was shot through by an arrow.
??The arrow's flames circulated, and after breaking through the chest, it then penetrated three cavalrymen in a row, piercing into the ground and disappearing.
??"I……"
??Sima Dekan trembled, looked down at his chest, and without saying a word, he fell to the ground with a bang.
??My legs bounced and stopped moving.
??One arrow will kill, not only passing through the heart, but also the huge shock and corrosive power has destroyed his internal organs, limbs and muscles.
??Destroy all vitality.
??As Sima Dekan fell off his horse, the four riders behind him fell down at the same time.
??Even people and horses were shot through.
??"Good arrow."
??Wanwan shouted in surprise.
??Xu Ziling also jumped up in surprise, stretched out his arms, pointed the spear in his hand with blood in his hand, shouted an order, and charged forward.
??This time, after shooting the leading general to death in front of everyone, the ten thousand Xiaoguoqi finally lost their last remaining fighting spirit.
??When he shouted, he turned the horse's head, slapped the horse and ran away.
??Some fled too slowly and even threw away their weapons.
??From time to time, someone would fall off the horse, and the soldiers would pursue him and chop off his head with a knife.
??The Yangzhou Army had been beaten very hard before, and now it was holding its breath in its chest. It followed and pursued them. It was not known how far it was pursued before they saw Xu Ziling leading his troops back.
??"Your Majesty, please collect two thousand riders along the way and either surrender or kill them. The remaining seven thousand riders have already fled to the northwest and are difficult to pursue."
??Obviously, he is already very satisfied with this result.
??But when he thought about how his side had lost more than 3,000 men and about 700 to 800 horses in such a battle, he felt a little distressed.
??Yang Lin's brows twitched slightly, and he felt slightly disappointed. However, after thinking about it, he shook his head and laughed again.
??This is what fighting is like. Not every battle can achieve the greatest results.
??After this battle, we not only trained our troops, but also made up more than 6,000 cavalry, and captured more than 1,000 soldiers, which is actually pretty good.
??As for the more than 7,000 cavalry who escaped, he had no intention of pursuing them.
??They are elite cavalrymen. To be honest, these people under my command really cannot catch up.
??Besides, those Xiaoguo Army cannot be appeased even if they are captured.
??Just like the five thousand Xiaoguo Army under his command, he is in Yangzhou but his heart is in Luoyang.
??“When they go back, we will force these people to start families locally and buy properties...
??Otherwise, it would not be a problem for those who care about the North to keep them on the ground in Jiangdong with their morale always low.
??In the past, the real combat power was not as good as the recruits we trained ourselves. "
??"yes."
??Xu Ziling happily agreed.
??He has been training troops these days and has a deep understanding of military morale. Now he understood what Yang Lin meant.
??"If it doesn't work, we will forcibly disarm and return to the fields. We will never take any soldiers who are not loyal to the king."
??Yang Lin nodded and heard the roar of weapons clashing in his ears.
??He turned around and saw the tree was downturned, and the two of them were tumbling out.
??"Huh……"
??It’s Kou Zhong.
??At this time, his sword was as bright as lightning, and he was leaping and flying, fighting with a fierce and heroic man there.
??The man's eyes were calm, and he had a long-edged straight knife with murderous intent.
??In his hands, the extremely simple and straight-forward sword technique can actually cut through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the battlefield.
??Under Kou Zhong's ever-changing sword skills blessed by the true Qi, he was clearly at a disadvantage in terms of true Qi and sword moves, but he was not inferior at all in terms of courage.
??It gives people the feeling that a comeback is possible at any time and at any time.
??"Good sword skills, use my move to break through the waves..."
??Kou Zhong retracted the long knife in his hand, and suddenly slashed it out like a grinder, his body rushing forward wildly.
??There are many daggers in front of my eyes.
??The trees and soil were stirred by the blade and turned into huge waves, followed by a faint line of sword light.
??The power is unbearable.
??The heroic man seemed not to have seen the ferocity of Kou Zhong's sword skills. He still had a cold face, his eyes were indifferent, and he could not see any expression.
??It’s just that the sword force retracted, and the body also shrank into a ball, and kept retreating with the wave of the sword.
??Back up while gathering momentum.
??It can be seen that as long as he retreats to the end and waits for Kou Zhong to use up his sword.
??This is when he has gained momentum and shows his edge.
??'Every sword strike has the momentum of a bloody battlefield. At this age, this magnanimity. "
??Yang Lin's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed who the person in front of him was.
??Be a hero, cherish the hero.
??He could see that Kou Zhong's sword skills were actually reserved, and he did not show his overbearing murderous intent. He looked more and more excited as he fought, and he was actually competing.
??What does this prove?
??It proves that Kou Zhong actually has a crush on this person and thinks that he is worth dating and he is a very powerful person.
??In fact, Xu Ziling beside him looked thoughtful at the man's sword skills and demeanor.
??The situation of the battle just now made him understand something when he saw the opponent's sword power.
??Avoid the strong and attack the weak, attack the weak with force, soldiers have no constant momentum, water has no constant shape...
??You can see the shadows of various military techniques in this man's sword skills.
??"This is a combination of military skills and swordsmanship. It's really extraordinary."
??"Yes, now that we have encountered him, we cannot let him get away."
??Yang Lin moved and arrived in front of the two people competing with each other.
??With a flick of his left hand, Kou Zhong's wave-like sword light bounced back with a bang.
??The bounce caused him to take several steps back and he could not get back up in one breath.
??The other hand reached out to grab it, and gently caught the long knife that was full of momentum and was about to show its edge.
??With a slight vibration of the wrist, he grabbed the knife in his hand.
??The Yingwu man's eyes had always been indifferent, but this time he finally showed a look of surprise.
??He found that as soon as the other party appeared, boundless power enveloped him.
??Catch it with your claws, like a dragnet.
??No matter how you change or dodge, it has no effect at all.
??With a flick of his right arm, the long knife has changed hands.
??Moreover, even if he missed the knife and returned it, he still felt that at this moment, his body was stiff for a breath.
??Retreat, you cannot retreat.
??Go in, can’t come in.
??"The patron king, Yang Lin."
??He blurted out in surprise.
??"It's me, who are you? It's also very good to know the art of war by watching your sword skills. Wouldn't it be better to join my command as a general and give full play to what you have learned?"
?? Yang Lin said with a smile.
?? Without waiting for the other party to answer, he stretched out a finger and flicked the stolen iron sword into dozens of pieces.
??Swish swish.
??Countless blades pierced into the soil.
??"This sword is not strong enough for steel and fire. It is not worthy of you. I will change it for you."
?? He smiled, stretched his hand to the side and grabbed it. A thick long knife with a dark blade and only a bright white edge had jumped from the ground and jumped into his hand.
??Hand it over.
??This is the long knife collected from the back of Sima Dekan's horse after he shot him to death with an arrow.
??Yang Lin has seen this sword. It is made of black iron. It is considered a top-grade sword.
??The Yingwu man glanced at the broken knife that was invisible in the deep soil, and then looked at the black iron sword in front of him.
??After being stunned for a while, he smiled bitterly and bowed down: "My subordinate, Li Jing, would like to pay my respects to the prince."
??……
??Asking for a monthly ticket.
