Chapter 920: The Sword of Everyman

Chapter 922

Once the defeat is opened, it will be difficult to close again.

The soldiers went one after another, but instead of charging, they fled for their lives. Among the various princes in the empire, Jiangnan soldiers are undoubtedly the richest, but they have the weakest will to fight.

When they win, they can chase after the victory, but when they are defeated, they will not rise to the challenge.

Faced with this situation, Li Xingzai, Qi Jiguang, Chu Yunsheng... many people were relieved at the same time. The battle has been going on until now, and I finally see the hope of winning by one or two points.

Of course, now is not the time to taste the fruits of victory, we must pursue the victory and beat the underdogs.

Qi Jiguang commanded the army, and he kept waving the blood flag in his hand, and the meaning expressed was only two words: charge, charge, charge...

This team, which was beaten to pieces, showed unprecedented fighting spirit. They rushed forward, using their weapons and their companions' lives to open the way, and they approached the main formation of the Jiangnan Army.

The Jiangnan soldiers were already at a loss at the moment, and Hong Li kept issuing orders, trying to prevent the collapse, so the soldiers turned around and fought.

The Jiangnan Army is not without an advantage at present, and still surpasses the Eastern Navy in strength. As long as the battle is firmly established, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain.

But Hong can't do it.

Tempering a team's will to fight is not something that can be done overnight, and it is definitely not a matter of shouting two slogans before the battle to make people desperate. To fight is to put your life in your hands, and use the bones and blood from your mother's womb to fulfill your merits.

It's a lot of time and effort. To really understand the soldiers under your command, they are not simple numbers, nor are they only armored and spear fighting machines. They are both flesh and blood, crying and laughing.

Hong Liao didn't really know them.

Jiangnan soldiers are used to running away. This kind of thing is not the first time nor the last time for them.

Everyone is a hundred and ten kilograms of meat raised by their mother's biological father, why do they have to work hard for you.

At this moment, Hong Lei is powerless to return to the sky.

The Eastern Navy rushed out like a wolf like a tiger, slashing anyone it saw, and killing everyone it met. Under such an offensive, the Jiangnan soldiers were already defeated.

Hong Liao shouted hoarsely, but nothing could change. Now his eyes were red and he wanted to spurt blood.

His subordinates embraced him and said, "Marshal, the enemy soldiers are brave, let's avoid their edge first, and then make plans."

Hong pushed them away, and a tyrannical force erupted from this thin body.

With a clang, he drew out his sword, and his eyes were like torches.

The battle isn't over yet, and it's not like Hong Li can't change anything.

His eyes swept across the chaotic army, and he noticed Li Xingzai's existence almost at first sight.

In addition to being a well-thought-out marshal, he is also a rare kendo master in the world. What he has to do now is to take the head of an admiral in the midst of the army.

The body dodged into the chaotic army, advancing like a swimming fish. The chaotic crowd could not hinder his footsteps.

This may be the only thing Hong Liao can do at the moment, slashing and capturing the flag and boosting his own morale. There is still room for struggle in this matter.

Li Xingzai was in the pain of fighting, suddenly a warning in his heart, only to see a flash of sword light, and a long sword pierced his eyebrows.

This is the sword of a world-class master, bullying frost and crushing snow, chasing stars and chasing the moon, and in an instant, Li Xingzai could not move.

clang.

With a crisp sound, a giant axe hit the sword, and Hong Li's sword was forced back.

When he raised his head, he saw a man with a sturdy back, standing in front of Li Xingzai.

Hong Liao was born in the Jianghu, and what he learned was the martial arts of the Jianghu, not the method of fighting on the battlefield. If they were fighting against each other, the general general would not be his opponent.

However, Xu Wentian had spent half his life in the arena, and he was able to compete with Chen Meng. Naturally, his ability was not weak.

Right now, Xu Wentian also needed a chance to make meritorious deeds. Thanks to Hong's sword, he was given a chance.

Hong Liao secretly attacked, thinking that he was bound to win, but was blocked by Xu Wentian. He shoots a sword, but he only has a chance to shoot a sword.

Facing this scene, Li Xingzai was stunned for a while, and then laughed.

"Two armies face off against each other, and if the general doesn't move, he will be able to win a thousand miles. If you wait, holding a three-footed sword and asking for a head on a certain item is nothing but the bravery of a man."

Xu Wentian took a deep breath, Li Xingzai's words were arrogant, he kicked Li Xingzai's heart with every word, and his Majesty was really good at the trick of sprinkling salt on the wound.

After all, Hong Leo is a young man. Although he is an old man, he still has the vigor of a young man. He couldn't bear this, and his eyes flashed, and he almost fainted.

"Be brave enough to die."

Carrying a three-foot Qingfeng, he wanted to chop Li Xingzai's head. Holding a big axe, Xu Wentian met up with Hong, and directly used attack instead of defense, blindly attacking.

Thirteen axes later, Ma Mengqi arrived, and a long spear forced the flood back.

Hong Luo's eyes were red, he wanted to go up again, but was pulled down by his subordinates.

The soldiers covered his retreat, and a loyal man said: "Marshal, we are defeated, leaving the green hills, not afraid of running out of firewood."

"Are we... lost?"

Hong spit these words out of his mouth. He looked back and saw that the soldiers were like ears of wheat, their heads being harvested by the enemy. Those who were lucky enough to escape fled in all directions, and no longer cared about the formation.

Indeed, lost.

Hong's eyes darkened and he fainted.

His subordinates hurriedly supported him, and some loyalists carried him on their backs, and the soldiers gathered together and fled on their backs.

In a daze, Hong glanced back and thought to himself: Give me another chance, maybe I can win it back.

To be honest, he is not lacking in talent, nor lacking in wisdom. The two famous teachers before and after taught him that he had the opportunity to become a first-class advisor in the world.

But that was later, not now. Now he is still too young, he has not experienced a few hard battles, and he has not tasted many failures. When he has experienced enough failures and knows that things like face are not important, and he can accomplish some things ruthlessly, then he will not be far from peerless.

But maybe, he will never have this chance.

There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, and there is no shortage of geniuses who die early. They have already passed away before they have time to become, Hong, or red dust, may not have such luck.

The war lasted for two days and two nights, and it was just now coming to an end. In this battle, the 200,000-strong army of Jiangnan soldiers was defeated in one fell swoop, which can be said to be a complete victory.

But it was also a tragic victory, and Donghai Li Xingzai's team also suffered heavy casualties. If Hong Liao holds out again, as long as he survives the first round of fierce battles, the scale of victory will be in his favor.

But without if, in this contest, he is already a loser.

Li Xingzai also had no time to mourn the fallen soldiers, and he still had a lot of things to do. This overall plan was painstakingly planned, and of course the purpose was not only to defeat Hong.

This bloody battle is just the beginning, far from the end.

Li Xingzai's next goal is Yangzhou.
