the enlightener says

"You!" Before Wang Zhu could swear, the building angrily grabbed him by the neckline. Although his injuries were no less serious than Wang Zhu's, at this moment, his arrogance was far stronger than that of the frightened Wang Zhu. It was much stronger, and as he widened his eyes, he yelled viciously, "Beat your mother! I am still alive, so why did you lose! If you have the ability to make those bastards step over my corpse! After more than ten years, I will still be a good man!"

Wang Zhu smiled miserably: "What's the use of your life? How many people will listen to you? You infantry officer is not even a fart now!"

"The general is not dead!" Building stared at him and yelled, "You don't know how strong the general is, but how can he die if he is just a broken bird?"

The auspicious beast Luanfeng in the myth is called a broken bird. Looking at the building in front of him, Wang Zhu showed a bit of sarcasm, thinking that only such a brainless and fearless person can say it. It wasn't that black cloud that forced Luanfeng to constantly change positions in the air. I'm afraid they would all be burned into a ball of coke at this moment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing in his heart: No matter how strong a general is, he is still a human being after all, but when he meets this kind of inhuman, what can he do no matter how strong his cultivation is?

But at this moment, the war drums of the Jingwu army sounded again, and the low hum of the horn was still heard amidst the thunder. Although it was not as majestic as when it was just launched, it also sent a signal .

In the distance, both Wang Zhu and the building saw a figure sitting upright on a horse, with the banner behind him waving, and the silver spear in the man's hand was shining brightly.

Jing Wu God of War.

Gao Changgong is not dead yet!Their Jing Wu Sheng Sheng is still sitting on the horse, so straight, it seems that he will never fall.

There was a burst of cheers from the Jingwu army.

"Ha ha ha ha ha hiccup..." The building laughed wildly, and even hiccupped inexplicably because of too much force, and then continued to laugh, "See? The general is still alive, the general will not die, the general will always be won't die!"

Although he was so tired that he was about to close his eyes, he didn't know where the strength came from. He suddenly grabbed a flag and held it up high, as if supporting the soul of the army, and then shouted loudly Roar: "Don't run away! Anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law!"

The big flag in his hand fluttered with the wind, so proud.

But what he didn't know was that in the personal guard camp in the hinterland of the three armies, everyone's eyes were full of worries. Zhang Mingqi sat on the horse with his body propped up, and the burnt place began to hurt, but he was more worried. It was Gao Changgong who was sitting on the horse.

He is well aware of how bad Gao Changgong's health is now, his blood is almost exhausted, his whole body has been hit by Luanfeng many times, four ribs are broken, and he can hardly stand on one leg. up.

But even so, Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the horse, still gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and ignored the sweat dripping from his forehead...

"General, forget it, General, you need to rest..." Zhang Mingqi kept persuading him while helping him onto the horse.

But after Gao Changgong worked hard to climb on the horse, he showed the faint smile that always hung on his face again, and said: "This matter really can't be forgotten. Now that the three armies are in shock, morale has begun to collapse. If I can't sit still at this time, I'm afraid ...we can't go home."

So he still insisted on sitting on the horse. Even though the long spear, which seemed insignificant to him, was trembling and about to fall at this moment, he held on, like a big flag waving in the wind, supporting the entire army. spine.

"The front army retreats, so Zhu Li and Yinsheng don't hang on, let go of the gap, and let the Tang army pass. By the way, tell Gao Yanzong that the Qingzhou ghost riders don't have to collide head-on with the Xuanjia heavy riders, and the delay is the main thing. "Gao Changgong ordered one after another, and the sound of the drums began to change.

Behind him, the semaphore soldiers kept waving the flags in their hands. Even though the thunder flashed, the expressions on their faces remained unchanged.

"Is the general trying to lure the enemy into going deep?" Zhang Mingqi asked after listening to Gao Changgong's order and thinking about it.

"Luring the enemy deep?" Gao Changgong grinned, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment as if he had touched a sore spot, "Now I really don't have this mood, I just think about how to survive."

"Live... alive?" Zhang Mingqi frowned, he really didn't expect Gao Changgong to say that.

While Gao Changgong took a breath, someone beside him immediately took a towel to wipe off the sweat on his forehead: "We can't win this battle."

He sighed: "I didn't expect her to appear, and I didn't expect her current cultivation level. Just this mistake is enough to ruin the three armies. Now I can only try to make up for this. Since victory is impossible , but the aspect of defeat is still to be discussed. Although our army's situation is not good, the Tang army is already very tired. In this case, why not give them a way out. They have a way out, so naturally they won't be so desperate. It's better... than to die together .”

Zhang Mingqi nodded and understood: "The general wants to avoid the battle? Yes, our army is not willing to lose, and it is not easy to build two strong armies of the Tang Army Shenwu Tianjun and Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, and I don't want to fold them all here. Our army avoids the battle, Tang Jun will probably make the same choice as us."

Gao Changgong laughed again: "Although I feel sorry for the Mohists by doing this, after all, the alliance between countries is just to seek common advance and retreat, and to help each other, but I am really not like that if I want to feed the Mohism by cutting off Jing Wu's flesh." saint."

Laughing, in fact, Gao Changgong's tone also revealed a bit of helplessness.

Zhang Mingqi couldn't say anything when he heard it.He is no longer the rich boy who didn't think about anything at the beginning, he has improved a lot in dealing with people and dealing with things, and he is very clear about Gao Changgong's difficulties.

Alliances between countries are essentially nothing more than an exchange of interests, and the interests of tens of thousands or even millions of people are involved at every turn, so it is naturally difficult to return to simplicity.

If Gao Changgong was just a knight-errant, he could go all out and ignore it, but since he is the general of Jingwu, he should naturally base everything on Jingwu's interests.

This time Jing Wu led the army to the north, and they had two goals, the most important and urgent one was to curb the expansion of Canghai or Tang State in the Mohist territory.

Therefore, the Jingwu army was divided into two places. Originally, Zhu Ran, the commander of the imperial army of Jingwu, had already arrived in the direction of Jinzhou secretly. They have all been dispersed, and the role that these 3 elites can play is enough to exceed Tang Jun's expectations.

Although Zhang Mingqi has not heard the news, Zhu Ran must have led the army down the river with pre-built ships at the same time that the dry river was refilled. Wan was again attacked by the Jingwu army who were good at water warfare, and there was only one way to lose.

In this way, Xingzhou is no longer an isolated city. With the support of the three parties, even though the Tang army has 20 troops, it is extremely difficult to break through in a short time.

And another purpose is the huge battle right now.After thinking about it, it can be said that Gao Changgong and Wang Xuanwei's thoughts coincided with each other. They both wanted to encircle and wipe out the two powerful armies of the Tang Kingdom here: Shenwu Tianjun and Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry. .

These more than [-] people are the elite of the elite of the Tang State. Once they are seriously injured, the Tang State will not only receive a head-on blow this time, but will even need to restore its national strength for a long time before it is possible to send troops again. .

The Mohists have more than [-] soldiers, which can be said to be the most powerful in the world. Even if they lose nearly [-] in this battle, they are still strong. They can even take the opportunity to send out a large army to Chen Bing on the border of the Tang Kingdom to encroach on the territory of the Tang Kingdom.

As for the benefits that Jing Wu can get, it can be stable for a long time, while at the same time sorting out the state affairs, training the army, and making long-term preparations for the future.

After all, although Jingwu is located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River and has the advantages of fish and salt sailing ships, after several generations of civil strife in Wu State, the national power is far different from that of the past. Even if Zhuge Wanling has the wisdom of heaven and man, it may not There may be something out of nothing, and it is necessary to rely on time to accumulate national strength.

It is best to seek peace.

Chapter 543 Battle Situation

"If it wasn't for the sudden appearance of this thing, how could the morale of the Tang army suddenly soar, how could the general be injured, and how could our army fall into chaos because of this?" Zhang Mingqi gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, because of the resentment in his heart, He actually casually called "this thing" to the soul-stirringly beautiful Luanfeng in the sky.

But what he said has become a fait accompli, what Jing Wujun needs to do now is not to blame others, not to hesitate, but to quickly assess the situation and find a countermeasure.

After all, no one knows the final outcome of the duel between the black cloud and Luanfeng, and it is even impossible to judge which side the black cloud occupies. As the commander-in-chief, Gao Changgong naturally has to make a decision early.

If he continued to resist like this, the best result would be to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, while the worst result would be something he was never willing to bear—to die together.

Of course, this is the result that the Mohists want to see the most. Not only can this battle weaken the military power of the two countries, but also allow Jing Wu, whose foundation is not stable, to continue to be attached to the Mohism in the future, which is hard to say.

After successive military orders were passed on, the military formation began to change with the military orders. The Jingwu army who had been defeated and fled finally discovered the cruelty and strictness of the battlefield and military discipline—even if they could escape the swords and guns in front, they could not avoid the beheading from the Pao Ze brothers behind. kill.

At the same time as the supervisor yelled loudly, a long-prepared rain of arrows followed, turning into a torrential rain under the thunder, and falling heavily towards the fleeing soldiers ahead.

The Jingwu infantry is not the Shenwu Heavenly Army. The armor on their bodies is just cowhide soaked in herbs and then dried. It can only block the damage of sharp weapons to a certain extent. Therefore, after a round of arrow rain, dozens of soldiers who fled have fallen down. .

"If there are any more retreaters, cut them off!" With a heavy expression on his face like a rock, the supervisor waved down his hand again, another round of arrows rained, and then the soldiers in the back row also raised their shields and spears, turning into A city wall that could not be broken through was pressing hard towards the rout!

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Mingqi subconsciously turned his head away, unable to bear to look any further.

Soon, the originally disintegrated Jingwu army was reorganized and began to obey the command again, but instead of fighting forward, it kept shrinking.

Such a formation can not only resist the charge of the Tang army, but also give the enemy room to move.

"Is this... going to let these grandchildren go?" When the situation gradually became clear, the building, Wang Zhu and others also saw some clues, and some didn't understand why Gao Changgong did this.

Probably no Jingwu people would not want to take revenge on Tang Guo on the battlefield. The battle of Tang Guo's southern invasion still haunts the minds of Jingwu soldiers and people. The hatred in the bottom of the heart.

However, the building did not intend to question anything. Since joining the army, obeying military orders is a bounden duty, and he also believes that Gao Changgong must have his own considerations for this move. He just watched the Tang army keep pouring into the positions vacated by the Jingwu army. In the end, how unwilling he was, he would inevitably open his mouth and scold Tang Jun some dirty words that he seldom utters on weekdays.

Faced with the retreat of the Jingwu army, Tang Jun also made the fastest response. This battle has been fought until now, not only the Jingwu army has lost control of the situation, but even the Tang army can no longer control the situation at this time.

Li Mei looked up and saw that the sky was full of thunder and fire, and Luanfeng was aggressive. While avoiding the thunder and light, she burned through the black clouds with flames. However, she tried many times and could not find the enemy hiding under the black clouds. , on the contrary, they were constantly forced to back and dodge by the more dense lightning, and the number of winners and losers was still unpredictable.

"General, the Xuanjia heavy cavalry and the Shenwu Tianjun are the elites of our Tang Kingdom. If they are used as a bet, it's better to win. If you lose, it will affect the future of our Tang Kingdom." Li Mo looked at Xiang Chu beside him and said: "Since Gao Changgong wants to avoid the battle, why don't we go along with the flow and leave as soon as possible?"

Xiang Chu still raised his head, looking at the sky, his eyes were burning like fire. Before he knew it, he clenched the iron handle of the halberd tightly, and his fingers turned slightly white.

He knew that that was the power he had been pursuing all his life, and only this kind of power could be considered transcendent and truly stand at the top of the world.

like a god.

As for the Grand Master Realm?

It's just the realm of a great master.

Perhaps this realm is considered supreme by others, but in Xiang Chu's view, this is far from his end.

If he can achieve that state, he admits that he is willing to give up everything he has.

"Fix my spear and halberd, and compete with the heroes of the world..." Xiang Chu muttered to himself. He knew that the reason why he kept looking for opponents was not just to seek opportunities for breakthroughs?

The master is dead, no one can help him, he can only rely on himself... That level is illusory and elusive, if you want to cross it, you can only fight against the peak powers again and again to catch the root Unreal threads.

"Li Mei."

"Yes, General." Li Mo looked at Xiang Chu worriedly, and always felt that Xiang Chu was a little dazed at the moment, as if something terrible broke out of his heart, riding on his roaring desire and soaring into the sky .

"You take the people away and join the other teams. Since you have lost the three counties, you don't have to worry too much. It is impossible for Jingwu to help the Mo family to guard it all the time. The Mo family will also not be willing to let the people of Jingwu guard for them. There will always be a chance..." Xiang Chu's tone was calm as usual.

"Then general, you..."

Xiang Chu raised his head and looked at the sky, as if answering Li Mo, but also as if answering himself: "Since you have seen the mountains, you must try to see the scenery on the mountains, don't you?"

With a neigh, the black war horse under Xiang Chu's crotch stood up, and then he let go of his steps suddenly, rushing like the wind in the direction opposite to the retreat of the Tang army.

"General!" Li Mo never imagined that Xiang Chu would leave at such a time, but before his shouts could be heard, Xiang Chu's figure was already submerged in the chaos.

The next voice could only be pressed back into the throat by thin and stern lips, Li Mo took a deep look at the direction where Xiang Chu disappeared, his heart was burning, and with a sharp shout, his eyes were as firm as iron.

"The whole army obeys orders! Change formation, follow me out of the encirclement, and join the other teams as soon as possible!"

State affairs are the most important thing. He thinks he does not have the military genius and tyrannical strength like Xiang Chu, but he knows very well what he should do now.Since Xiang Chu is not here, he is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and he has to be responsible for these bloody Tang Guoerlang to the end.

Raising his head, the shadow of the black cloud covered his face, making his complexion dark. From time to time, there were a few low-pitched roars from the tumbling clouds, which seemed to indicate that something extraordinary was hiding in it.

For this kind of unpredictable existence, Li Mei has always been in awe, but he forced his spiritual platform to be clear, knowing that he can't completely pin his hopes on Luanfeng, or the woman who incarnate Luanfeng. What he paid was not only the lives of himself and the sergeants present, but also the future of Tang State.

He must leave.

Before mobilizing his horse, he bowed his head and murmured: "General, although I have awe for you, when I return to the court, I will definitely impeach you in the court. I hope that at that time, you can still live to stand on the throne of the king and empress." This is not a personal enmity, but...to be loyal to the country."

It's just that he, who is on the front line, still doesn't understand that something is happening in Ding'an City of Tang State at this very moment.

Although Xiang Chu's annihilation of Zhao Kuan's 7 people in the Mohist territory was a great victory, which was enough to inspire the whole country, but after Xiang Chu lost one after another in the Battle of Jinzhou, there have been rumors that he is extremely concerned about the position of the general. Greedy, I have been resentful for not being able to sit in that seat so far, so I deliberately demonstrated this attitude to the court.

Xiang Chu holds 20 soldiers of the Tang State, which is more than half of the military power of the Tang State. He has never been a humble Confucian general, but a rebellious lion. cancer.

Some conspiracy theories are based on the fact that he secretly reached an agreement with the Mohists. After Wang Xuanwei was dismissed, the position of general of the Mohists has been vacant for a long time. title...

Of course, behind these news, there are actually some hidden shadows, part of which is Wang Xuanwei's power left in the Tang Kingdom, and the other part is Mr. Jing Yu who just took over the spy organization of Ding'an City.

When he left Jinzhou, Wang Xuanwei had already made up his mind about this matter, but he didn't know whether the emergence of this plan was related to the series of things he experienced in the Mo family.

For Yang Taizhen, Xiang Chu is a ferocious beast, and when he is released to eat people, he is also at risk of retaliation.

This is also why Xiang Chu is clearly the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but he will still be restrained by a subordinate like Li Mo in this expedition.

Although on the surface, Tang Guochaotang is still as calm as ever, but because Yang Taizhen is suspicious, I am afraid that this matter will not just stop at rumors.

As the two armies on the battlefield reached a tacit agreement, this "encirclement and annihilation" naturally became a "breakout". However, the speed of the Tang army was not as fast as expected. strangeness.

"Why is this? It's clear that our army has already moved out of the way, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to leave at all. Instead, they seem to be walking slowly."

Listening to Zhang Mingqi's question, Gao Changgong smiled slightly. For this younger generation, he has always been generous in giving guidance: "I guess this is Li Mei's idea. If it is according to Xiang Chu's style, if you don't move, you will invade like a fire. He wants to evacuate, and he will not look forward and backward. But Li Mei is different. Although this general's son, although he said that he has good military skills, he is cautious in using troops and rarely advances aggressively. They just attacked when they retreated. Yang Taizhen chose him to check and balance Xiang Chu, presumably because of his prudence, hoping to stop Xiang Chu when necessary."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Mingqi suddenly realized, and there was a bit of sarcasm on his face for a while, "Yang Taizhen really took off his pants and farted, and he didn't dare to believe Xiang Chu after using him. If he didn't believe it, why did he use it? Not to mention whether Li Mo will succeed. Even if you succeed in controlling Xiang Chu, it will only make Xiang Chu feel more dissatisfied."

"Dissatisfied? He may be dissatisfied, but as far as I know, Xiang Chu never had his empress in his heart, and he didn't even have that romantic king who liked to drink and compose poems in his heart. He was a person who only had himself in his heart. That being the case, so what if he is dissatisfied? I guess, Yang Taizhen only used him because he really has the ability to lead the three armies to a victory, but he didn't want to raise him to become a confidant of the Tang Dynasty in the future." Gao Changgong smiled faintly.

"The general is familiar with Xiang Chu?"

Gao Changgong shook his head lightly, and said: "Except for this time, I only met him twice, one was before Jingwu was built, and Xiang Chuzheng was appointed as a general at that time, and he was the most popular among the young generation of Tang Kingdom. The general, I took a look at him from a distance in the crowd. The second side was when I was riding Qingzhou ghosts in the territory of Tang, but I didn't see him, but I think he must have seen me."

During the acquaintance between the two, neither of them even looked at each other directly, but Gao Changgong seemed to know Xiang Chu to the bone, but Zhang Mingqi still had to believe it, because he could feel Gao Changgong's confidence in this matter.

It's just that Zhang Mingqi couldn't help but slander in his heart: Could it be that these top people in the world can have a spiritual friendship with their opponents to some extent?Even if such stories are always widely circulated among the people, but I have witnessed it with my own eyes, and I always feel that this kind of thing is too illusory and doesn't seem to happen in reality.

Of course, Zhang Mingqi also knew that the reason why he didn't understand was because Gao Changgong obviously hid many things.

But when it comes to "familiarity", Zhang Mingqi's heart suddenly moved. Thinking of the conversation between Gao Changgong and Luanfeng before, he asked in a slightly tentative tone: "General...does he have an old relationship with that Luanfeng?"

Chapter 544 Dragon Body

"Luanfeng?" Gao Changgong was startled for a moment, then smiled wryly, "The ancient sage king died so much that his bones and scum were gone, where did the Luanfeng come from? That is not a real Luanfeng, but a woman. Of course, it is a realm A woman with an extremely high cultivation base, otherwise it would be impossible to use the innate fire technique to such an extent."

It's just that he looked at Luanfeng in the sky as if he was going to burn everything, but felt that she was a little pitiful, and sighed: "Even so, she is still a poor woman. If it weren't for the unjust sins of the past, she should have been able to be a husband and a child. live a peaceful life.”

"Innate Fire Art...what is it?" Zhang Mingqi didn't know this, but seeing Gao Changgong didn't intend to explain, he could only raise his head and stare, "This... is actually a person? How much cultivation does this have?" High? Even spiritual practitioners have never heard of the secret technique that can transform into a phoenix..."

As for the part about injustice, Zhang Mingqi will not ask too much. After his family's decline, he has learned a lot. The wanton indulgence in the past has now become cautious and prudent. He has his own sense of what to ask and what not to ask.

Although Jing Wu spread the romantic history of this "beautiful god of war" everywhere, Zhang Mingqi had known Gao Changgong since he was a child, and knew that those rumors were all speculations, and there was no shortage of fabrications among the people, just a group of people daydreaming.

The real Gao Changgong is not so much a vagabond as he is an ascetic monk, at most he speaks frivolously because of his vagabond temperament, but for so many years, people from Jingwu have never seen him being too intimate with any woman move.

A hero deserves a beauty, but no one knows where Gao Changgong's beauty is.

"Could it be that the general's refusal to marry for so many years is because of this... woman?" Zhang Mingqi sighed softly in his heart.

Gao Changgong didn't know that his subordinates had such a big misunderstanding because of his few words, but even if he knew, he would probably just be dumbfounded for a while, and then let himself think about it.

This is not because he is willing to be misunderstood, but because of Luo Fengchu's matter, involving that sick child who sits in the palace all day long, he really can't and doesn't want to explain anything to others.

While the two were talking, Gao Changgong was actually surrounded by a group of people. These people didn't wear armor or knives around their waists. They just wore plain clothes. Apart from a few young people, there were even a few people with two temples. The grizzled old man.

The Jingwu Army marched for thousands of miles, and the team of medical officers accompanying the army was naturally huge, with a total of more than [-] people. Now, the people surrounding Gao Changgong are only a fraction. At this moment, they are constantly on Gao Changgong's body. Groping, and talking to each other at the same time.

This kind of scene is very strange. You know, because Gao Changgong's white clothes were turned into ashes in the sea of ​​fire, and his injured body was inconvenient to dress again, so he just put on a cloak, while a group of men kept pushing him away. cloak, caressing over his naked body...
