Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

"Raise the muzzle, load, and fire ten salvos."

Seeing that the two armies were already fighting, Xia Zhining urged the Suzaku guards to adjust the firing angle of the red cannon so that the shells would hit the rear of the enemy coalition forces to avoid accidentally injuring their own soldiers.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Shortly after the words fell, ten loud blasts were heard, carrying pungent gunpowder smoke and venting towards the rear of the enemy coalition forces.

After the bomb exploded, the smell of gunpowder filled the air, and waves of blazing fire and iron fragments flew in all directions, killing the enemy allied soldiers. The thick fog in Songjiapo was dispersed a lot, revealing the enemy's central army.

"kill!"

Chen Mo pulled out his Tang sword, held the reins in his left hand, pulled the Snow Dragon Jun on his crotch, rode his horse out of the big banner, and came to the front of the front army alone.

The eyes of tens of thousands of Chen Jun soldiers were all focused on Chen Mo at this moment.

With Tang Dao raised high, Chen Mo turned his horse's head and faced the neat formation of the three armies in front of him, feeling a warm current welling up in his chest.

The sound of gunfire and wails were just catalysts for morale.

"The traitor Lu Sheng hijacked the emperor, brought chaos to the imperial court, and colluded with traitors such as King Chong and King Huai to rebel against the party. He invaded Fenghuai and Huaizhou in an attempt to destroy the peace we finally established. Do you agree?" Chen Mo said loudly.

"No."

Wherever the blade went, countless sergeants of Chen's army burst out with roars that shook the sky. In the military formation, countless soldiers of Chen's army raised their swords high, with uncontrollable anger and anger on their faces. Excited.

The loud noise caused by the artillery fire made them feel that Chen Mo in front of them was a god descending to earth, and with the blessing of the god, they would be invincible.

"Okay." Chen Mo turned the horse's head again, facing the enemy coalition forces that were already fighting the front army, and shouted: "Then follow me and crush them. Kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Xiao Jing, Wu Yanqing, Zhao Liang and others were the first to attack. With their swords in hand, they killed hundreds of enemy coalition troops. Their limbs and broken arms were scattered on the battlefield, turning the scorched earth red.

The enemy's coalition forces.

"Report, the enemy general has broken our army's formation and blocked our army's momentum."

"Report——, the enemy general is too strong and our army cannot stop it, resulting in heavy losses."

"Report——"

Many scouts came to Gongsun Yan to report, describing the battle situation ahead.

Gongsun Yan held the horse-cutting sword upside down in his right hand and the reins in his left hand. As the horse moved, the horse-cutting sword drew a mark on the ground.

He turned his head and looked at Liang Mu, Luo Qingyang, and Huicheng, and said, "It's our turn to play. The victory or defeat depends on this moment."

"promise."

Liang Mu and the others handed over their hands one after another, and immediately clamped the horse's belly almost at the same time. The horse galloped out and rushed to the front of the formation together with Gongsun Yan.

The artillery fire exploded around them, but the aftermath of the explosion could not hurt them at all.

They faced fierce artillery and led their own soldiers to rush towards Xiao Jing and others who were killing them.

And the moment they appeared, they were caught by Chen Mo, and four bright red numbers appeared in his eyes.

"1899."

"1923."

"1975."

"1011."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. There were three top-grade warriors and a tyrannical fourth-grade warrior.

"It's Liang Mu, Gongsun Yan and Luo Qingyang. The other one is Huicheng. I didn't see Lu Sheng and King Chong."

Xiao Jing recognized the identities of the four people at a glance and told Chen Mo immediately.

"Aren't Lu Sheng and Prince Chong here, or are they hiding in the dark and watching?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. Originally, he wanted to have a look with Lu Sheng to see if the other person was a second-grade person, and how much different his own strength was from him.

But Lu Sheng didn't show up, which made him slightly disappointed.

But that's okay. He had thought before that if he could kill one or two high-level enemy warriors through an ambush, then the pressure would be much less.

There was just no chance of an ambush.

But now, the other party has taken the initiative to offer the opportunity.

If Lu Sheng didn't confront him head-on, he could kill a third-level warrior instantly.

You know, after breaking through to the second level, his own strength has reached 4220, which does not include the power of divine combustion and the use of magical powers.

But the three third-level warriors on the opposite side have not yet reached 2000, and their own strength is twice that of their opponents.

While Chen Mo was watching, someone from the enemy coalition discovered Chen Mo, pointed out Chen Mo's location, and said to Gongsun Yan and others.

"According to the plan, Master Luo, Chen Mo will be left to you."

Gongsun Yan glanced at Luo Qingyang, and then said to Liang Mu and Huicheng: "Mr. Liang, General Hui, the three of us will deal with those three old guys. Remember, fight quickly."

"promise."

Luo Qingyang, Liang Mu, and Huicheng responded one after another.

The four of them then divided into two groups, leading their own soldiers to rush towards Chen Mo, Xiao Jing, and Wu Yanqing.

"Mr. An Guo, Luo Qingyang is coming for you." Xiao Jing said.

In Chen Mo's eyes, the person rushing towards him was not a person, but a red number 1975 on his forehead.

Chen Mo couldn't help but have a look of contempt in his eyes. He picked up the strong bow on his horse, drew the bow and nocked an arrow.

Luo Qingyang was wearing a golden armor, which Emperor Taizu personally gave to the ancestors of the Luo family, and was holding the Shangfang Sword given by His Majesty.

He found Chen Mo who was bending his bow and setting an arrow, and also knew that Chen Mo's archery skills were powerful.

He never looked down on anyone, and he knew that killing a chicken requires a knife, and besides, Chen Mo was not a chicken.

Without a trace of hesitation, he directly activated the Lingran Xuan Gong.

Immediately, the muscles all over Luo Qingyang's body surged, the blood vessels in his arms and forehead began to pulsate, his skin slowly turned red, and the energy and blood in his body burned, becoming extremely powerful.

The armor on his body was also quite extraordinary, and it was not broken by the surging muscles.

His breathing was like that of a cow, and his momentum was rising steadily, gradually showing an astonishing pressure.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yan and Liang Mu's eyes were full of surprise, but soon there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

"Junior, today I will kill on behalf of Prime Minister Lu and your Majesty."

Luo Qingyang held Shang Fang's sword and felt the surging power in his body. A touch of arrogance could not help but appear in his eyes. Today was the day when the Luo family became famous and became the head of the seven famous families.

"Whoosh"

However, before Luo Qingyang finished speaking, a sharp explosion sounded in the air.

An arrow flew out from the strong bow in Chen Mo's hand. Because the speed was too fast, sparks appeared at the arrow.

Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Luo Qingyang's protective spiritual energy was broken in the blink of an eye, and it was nailed to Luo Qingyang's eyebrows.

Then the force of the arrow was transmitted to his body, and Luo Qingyang, who was wearing armor, was pushed backwards from the saddle.

The war horse under Luo Qingyang also neighed, staggered, and fell to the ground.

After Luo Qingyang flew several feet, he hit the ground heavily and died.

Liang Mu, Gongsun Yan, Huicheng and others who had not yet rushed in front of Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing opened their mouths to their maximum limit and their eyes widened. They were stunned and did not react for a long time.

If the surrounding soldiers from both sides were not still fighting, they would have fallen into an eerie silence.

Is this invincibility under the second level?

Not to mention defeating Chen Mo.

How dare you contend with Chen Mo for more than ten rounds?

In the end, Chen Mo was shot to death with an arrow.

Is this outcome too childish?

Huicheng looked at Chen Mo with disbelief: "Is this the third grade?"

The mood of several people had not yet calmed down, so they reined in the reins and turned the horses' heads.

What a joke, even Luo Qingyang, who activated the secret method, died under Chen Mo's arrow. They didn't practice the secret method and those who practiced the secret method but their own cultivation level was only the fourth level, let alone their opponents.

But just at the moment they turned their horses' heads.

Another sharp sound of breaking wind sounded.

An arrow penetrated the helmet and hit the back of Gongsun Yan's head, sending him flying from the horse and ending up with the same fate as Luo Qingyang.

"Quickly retreat!"

Liang Mu shouted loudly and whipped his horse whip violently.

The already turned war horse felt pain and galloped away immediately.

Huicheng is not far behind.

Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing's moods have not yet calmed down. Like Liang Mu and others, they are also in disbelief and feel that Luo Qingyang's death was too hasty.

He was a top-grade warrior, but he ended up being treated like a soldier.

When they reacted and started to chase, Liang Mu and Huicheng were also shot down from their horses one after another.

Chen Mo did not kill Liang Mu and Huicheng.

One was shot in the arm and the other in the thigh.

The reason for this is because Liang Mu is the head of the Liang family. If he died, it would have a huge impact.

Moreover, it is still useful for Chen Mo to keep him.

Another point is that Chen Mo is also related to him. After all, Liang Xue is also a member of the Liang family.

If nothing else, after capturing and destroying Liang Mu's cultivation, he could at least blackmail the Liang family into tens of millions of taels.

In Huicheng's words, he is Chang En's junior brother.

Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing quickly rode forward, captured the injured Liang Mu and Huicheng, and then shouted: "All the generals have been executed, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Sergeant Chen was also familiar with this process and shouted: "Disarm without killing!"

"Disarm without killing!"

"Disarm without killing!"

…

Without a leader, the enemy coalition forces were immediately confused and looked around.

Chen Jun, on the other hand, had many soldiers. Seeing that the enemy would not surrender, he kept waving his swords and guns and slashing at them.

The enemy's commander-in-chief was killed, his lieutenants died, and those who were captured were captured. In this way, the enemy's coalition military formation, which was already in chaos due to artillery fire, completely collapsed.

Facing Chen Jun's offensive, they were scurrying around like headless flies, trying to escape from the battlefield.

"It's over."

When the middle and lower-level generals in the enemy coalition saw this scene, their eyes almost lost their luster.

There are also people who are loyal to King Chong and Lu Sheng.

They struggled to restore the situation and shouted: "Those who retreat without permission will die!!!"

"Avenge the general!"

They waved the swords in their hands, and all the soldiers who tried to escape fell under their swords.

Under their iron-blooded methods, the coalition forces actually formed part of the military formation.

However, this resistance was soon broken by the Chen army led by Xiao Jing, and those coalition generals who resisted were killed.

Without the high-end combat power of the coalition forces, Xiao Jing and Wu Yanqing were like gods of war without restraints. No one could stop them from leading their troops to charge.

However, Chen Mo did not go into battle to kill the enemy, but continued to observe the situation on the battlefield with doubts on his face.

It has reached this point, and neither Lu Sheng nor King Chong showed up.

There is only one result.

Lu Sheng and King Chong did not come to the front line at all.

Chen Mo frowned, feeling that he was being slighted.

However, just in case, Chen Mo did not lower his vigilance and ordered the entire army not to pursue too closely to avoid being ambushed, but to advance slowly.

……

The sun was already hanging high above the mountains, the scorching sun was ruthlessly burning the earth, the stones exposed to the sun were even hot enough to fry eggs.

The weather was hot, not many people were willing to be exposed to the sun.

In the shade of He County, Diwu Fusheng looked at the wine and meat brought by the soldiers in front of him, but he had no appetite at all.

As a man of the King of Huai, he was also a staff member and a role like the logistics of the army. He did not go forward to participate in the battle, but stayed behind.

Since Diwu Fusheng got up in the morning, his right eyelid has been twitching non-stop, and it has not stopped until now.

This made him very uneasy.

"Report, a large group of troops were spotted approaching He County."

"Report, our troops were spotted ten miles ahead, and it seems that they have suffered a defeat."

"Report, General Gongsun and General Luo were killed in battle, General Liang and General Hui were captured by the Chen army, our army was defeated, and the Chen army is taking advantage of the situation to pursue our army and approach He County."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the scouts sent out came back one after another and reported the news they had found to the Fifth Fusheng.

Hearing this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on the back of the Fifth Fusheng.

In the hot summer, his heart was cold.

"Retreat, retreat quickly."

The Fifth Fusheng issued an order to withdraw without hesitation.

There were still more than 8,000 troops left in He County.

However, the Fifth Fusheng dared not defend it.

Not to mention that He County was not an important town, even if it was an important town, he could not defend it.

Gongsun Yan and Luo Qingyang died in battle.

Liang Mu and Hui Cheng were captured.

The news will soon reach the city, and the army will be in chaos and morale will be low, making them useless.

If they stay in He County, they will only be captured.

"Open all the city gates."

Before retreating, Diwu Fusheng ordered the city gates to be opened.

In this way, the defeated army in front can also escape better.

When they retreat to Yanzhou, they can gather more remnants of the army.

...

Under the setting sun, the Chen army recaptured He County without any effort.

On the city wall, the flag of the coalition army was replaced by the flag of the Chen army again.

The exhausted soldiers of the Chen army all leaned against the city wall and rested under the eaves. They were all covered in blood and their blades were curled.

Chen Mo looked at the sunset in the sky and couldn't help but want to write a poem.

As a result, Sun Meng came to report: "Old Patriarch Xiao and his men are back."

Not long after, Xiao Jing, Wu Yanqing, Zhao Liang and others came to Chen Mo.

Zhao Liang reported with a bow: "The enemy has fled back to Yanzhou. According to your order, Duke Anguo, we will not continue to pursue them."

Chen Mo nodded: "Quickly count the casualties and prisoners."

"Yes." Zhao Liang retreated.

"There are still enemy troops left in He County. This time, many of them escaped." Xiao Jing said.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. This matter will not end here.
