Li Xingzai felt a little sad in his heart. Under the tide of troubled times, the common people were like pigs and dogs. And the imperial family was pushed into the center of the storm. He and Li Letian became the spokesmen of various forces, and they had to fight against each other.
Kill each other.
This is how people cannot help themselves in troubled times.
At last count, the two brothers had not seen each other for five or six years. Today, when they met again in front of the three armies, they both remembered the past. But if they meet again next time, they may be enemies.
Li Xingzai let out a long sigh, using this breath to let out the annoyance in his heart.
"Brother, the thief is right in front of you. Today, I will behead the thief first to avenge my father."
"Okay!" Li Letian praised on the horse: "This is worthy of the courage of a man from my Li family. Let's see today whether you have lost the family's marksmanship."
Boom, boom, boom!
The three armies beat the drums at the same time, and the drums exploded, making the sky and the earth shake. At this time, Li Xingzai had already retreated to the front of his own camp. Fighting is a very troublesome thing. Beat the drums to advance, and ring the gold to retreat. Before the battle, there are still
It was up to Li Letian to read out a "Book of Reprimands against Thieves", declaring that he was acting on behalf of heaven and giving this war the name of justice.
Li Xingzai felt a little impatient. It was a war, just killing and being killed. Now he missed the time in Toad Village. At least there, everyone was of one mind.
Today, our military strength is strong, with more than a dozen princes, big and small. However, these people are fighting on their own, wishing that others could die a few more people, while our own side can easily win the victory.
A vast and old empire will inevitably spawn many factions, and there are too many entangled interests among the factions. For some factions, victory can bring benefits, but for other factions, failure can bring benefits.
There were endless civil wars. Perhaps this was the reason why the empire was defeated ten times in ten battles against the Rong people.
While the war drums were beating and the morale of the three armies was high, a drum sound suddenly came from the mouth of Sha Hu.
Everyone was stunned, and Li Xingzai followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the mouth of the valley. He saw the sound of horse hooves rushing, the smoke moving on the ground, and a group of men and horses came out of the tiger's mouth.
The leader is riding a black horse, holding an iron gun, and behind him is a huge "righteousness" flag.
This person is none other than Lin Shaoyu.
The princes from all walks of life were shocked. In this desperate situation, Lin Shaoyu actually launched a counterattack with three thousand remaining soldiers.
Of course Li Xingzai recognized Lin Shaoyu, and they were even familiar with each other, but when he saw Lin Shaoyu today, the impression he had on him was different from before. His face was tough, his eyes were like lacquer, and his whole person had the air of someone who had been forged through thousands of efforts and fought out of a crowd of thousands of troops.
Evil spirit.
The courage of the generals and the temperament of the commander can tell the behavior of his troops. Similarly, by looking at the morale of a team, you can roughly understand who their commander is.
The remaining three thousand rebels were on the verge of despair, but they still maintained a high morale, not even inferior to the surrounding one hundred thousand troops. Their shouts made their own side tremble with fear.
This Lin Shaoyu really has the spirit of a destined general.
Of course, Li Xingzai had no reason to be afraid. He held the silver gun in his hand and his heart was boiling with fighting spirit. He was about to rush out and fight Lin Shaoyu to the death.
Even if it was not to fight for the throne, but just to avenge his father, he should do this. Li Xingzai has never lacked courage.
"Your Highness, don't be rash!" Song Youqu stopped him.
"Why?" Li Xingzai was in full fighting spirit and was suddenly stopped, feeling a little unhappy.
"The thieves are at the end of their rope, and they will inevitably be punished with death. It would be unwise to fight with them at this moment. As the saying goes, it will be exhausted after all, we can first remove the thieves' morale."
Song Youqu's words are not unreasonable. In fact, very early on, the rebel army led by Lin Shaoyu was blocked in the tiger's mouth. The reason why they never launched an attack was because they were afraid that they would choose to encircle rather than attack because they wanted to defeat the enemy.
Sooner or later it will be exhausted, and then the enemy will be defeated without attacking.
Li Xingzai raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that others were doing the same thing. They shrunk their formation and put on a defensive posture. Lin Shaoyu rushed over and fought in the formation for a while before blocking the opponent back.
Lin Shaoyu didn't get any benefits. He was determined to die and wanted to kill a few more people before he died. As a result, the imperial army had no intention of opening up a fight with him and just waited for him to run out of gas.
Then beat the drowned dog hard.
He withdrew his troops, stopped five hundred steps away from the enemy, went out into the battle alone, raised his spear, and shouted: "Who dares to fight with me!"
After shouting three times in a row, no one in the 100,000 imperial troops answered. The rebel army's morale was high, and they roared like beasts. But the imperial troops felt a little embarrassed, and some grumpy people thought, just rush over and kill them.
, now I have people scolding me in front of me, but I don’t dare to answer.
"Thieves, stop being crazy, I'm here to take your life!"
At this moment, a general from the imperial army rushed out. In the formation, the three armies beat the war drums at the same time.
Li Xingzai looked carefully, trying to see clearly who was charging out. In fact, when he met Lin Shaoyu, Li Xingzai also wanted to fight out, but he guessed that his ability was a bit uncertain against Lin Shaoyu, so he wanted to wait and see again.
Is there any chance of beating the drowned dog?
"This man is Fang Nu from the Yangzhou army, who was the vanguard of the breakout formation. When the Righteous Sect started its uprising in Yangzhou, he was the first to break through the main camp of the Righteous Sect."
"Oh, so it's him." Li Xingzai nodded. He had also heard about Fang Nu's reputation. He was able to defeat Lin Shaoyu once, but he didn't know if he could defeat him again today.
Fang Nu rushed over and crossed paths with Lin Shaoyu. This Fang Nu was very cruel. He had massacred many brothers of the Righteous Sect in Yangzhou. Now that his enemies saw each other, they were extremely jealous. What's more, Lin Shaoyu already had the intention of death, so he just ran away.
Come for the vital point.
"Thief, I will take your life."
Fang Nu wielded a wrought iron rod, showing off his strength. He looked up to the sky and laughed, saying: "My defeated general is not brave enough, just accept your fate."
The two men faced each other and fought in front of the two armies. The soldiers on both sides watched intently, concerned about the outcome of this duel.
In less than ten rounds, Lin Shaoyu fired a shot, and Fang Nu raised the wrought iron rod to meet him. The shot hit the wrought iron rod, and everyone heard a thud in their ears. Fang Nu, including his men and horses,
He was suddenly hit to the ground.
The imperial army was silent. No one dared to speak at this time, as if they were worried about disturbing something.
Li Xingzai also took a breath. I had only heard about Lin Shaoyu's great marksmanship before, but now I found out that his strength was actually so terrifying.
In this way, he is worthy of his reputation as a destiny general.
