Although Shi Yan tried desperately to go and support Zhu Li, he was instantly stopped by the fierce general of the Grass Army who flew out. The two immediately fought in a group and shouted angrily.
Are you the only one with a great general in your army? Several military governors in the coalition were indignant and made a decision in an instant.
In an instant, several generals emerged from the coalition army, rushing out from the command of Zheng Ting, Wang Chongying, Tuoba Sigong, and Li Xiaochang. They were instructed by their masters and stepped forward to help Zhu Li share the pressure.
The allied forces' generals emerged, and the Cao army naturally refused to be outdone.
Just a moment later, several generals also rushed out from the Cao army. Almost every time a general rushed out from the coalition army, there would be one from the Cao army to meet him. There were indeed many fierce generals in the Cao army, like Zhu Wen's general Pang Shigu, his die-hard supporter Ge Congzhou, Huang Chao's veterans Chang Hong, Liu Hanhong, Liu Yanzhang, Shang Rang and so on. These people almost came out in full force, and each of them fought against one, leaving no room for anyone to help Zhu Li.
On the battlefield, it was originally a long-planned conspiracy, but because of Zhu Li's strength, it quickly turned into a battle between many generals. Chai Cun, Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba still surrounded Zhu Li, attacking and defending.
Zhu Li saw all this and a trace of disdain flashed through his mind. Even if no one came to help him, would he care
Obviously, the military governors of the coalition forces had noticed that Chai, Cao and Li were good in martial arts, but clearly inferior to Zhu Li. After killing five of the other side's generals, the furious Zhu Li had regained his composure. It was not that he could not get rid of these three people as soon as possible, but that he was actively using his brain, thinking about how to save his parents.
The reason why he entangled with the three people was to buy himself some time. If someone came forward to help, it would disrupt his plan.
If only one of his parents fell into Zhu Wen's hands, Zhu Li could still risk rushing into the camp. With his martial arts, he would definitely have a chance to get that person out. But both of them were in Zhu Wen's hands, which was troublesome. He really didn't have the confidence to take good care of his parents after rescuing them.
But at this moment, Zhu Li, in the midst of his busy schedule, discovered a strange scene through the gap between the weapons. A big monk wearing a tattered big bag, ragged monk's robe, and leaning on a bamboo stick appeared. He appeared out of thin air on the side of the carriage where his parents were. Now almost ninety-nine percent of the Grass Army guards focused their attention on the battlefield, and no one even paid attention to this suddenly appearing monk. The situation was so strange that it was incomprehensible.
What did this monk want to do? Was he going to harm his parents? Zhu Li became anxious and raised his steel spear. He spun it around the waist, instantly knocking away the weapons of Li Chongba and the other three. At the same time, a silver light flashed, as fast as thunder. Under Chai Cun's horrified gaze, Zhu Li swung his long sword and chopped off the opponent's head with one blow. This sudden attack was so severe that even Cao and Li didn't have time to rescue them.
He was worried that the monk who appeared out of nowhere might harm his parents, so he could no longer care about that. He swung away the weapons of the three men, killed one of them, and rushed forward desperately to rescue the two elders.
But after Chai Cun was killed, Li Chongba and Cao Shixiong also became anxious. They turned their horses and rushed towards Zhu Li frantically. Facing the mad men, Zhu Li was unable to get rid of them for a while and was forced to fight with them.
stand up.
But the more anxious a person is, the worse he gets at doing things. In the end, he could only exert about 50% or 60% of his full strength, and was barely on par with Cao Shixiong and the other two. It became even more difficult for him to break free from their control.
This situation gave Zhu Li some insight. He realized that he should not be impatient, so he tried hard to control his emotions, began to focus his attention, and tried his best to deal with these two relentless flies. In this way, Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba became the unlucky ones.
Before, the three of them joined forces, but they could only barely fight against Zhu Li. What's more, there are only two of them left now. Zhu Li swung his steel spear swiftly and swinging it like a shuttle, and swung his long sword like rain. The battle was reversed in an instant. The sword lights were like weaving, and the spears were like lightning. In an instant, Cao and Li were suppressed and only had the strength to resist. They had no room to fight back.
The other generals did not notice the change in the situation here, but Zhu Wen and Meng Kai, two senior officers of the Cao army who were stationed in front of the army, saw it clearly and knew that they could not go on. If they continued, Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba would not be able to escape death.
Thinking of this, Zhu Wen and Meng Kai looked at each other, and both of them wanted to retreat. Zhu Wen waved his hand and made a gesture to sound the horn to call back the troops.
"Ding, ding, ding..." the sounds of the horn rang out, and the generals of the Cao army, like the receding tide, tried their best to break free from the entanglement of their opponents and rode their horses towards the main camp.
Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba were also preparing to get rid of Zhu Li and return to their camp. Zhu Li had no intention of getting entangled with them. He was worried about his parents, so he did not stop the two of them at first. But when he looked again, he suddenly found that the strange monk and his parents were gone, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace. This was a great shock.
At this time, how could he allow Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba to escape unscathed? As long as he caught these two people, perhaps he could negotiate terms with Zhu Wen and exchange his parents back.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, he and his horse became one, as fast as a flash of lightning. He swung the long sword in his left hand and slashed at Li Chongba, and swung the steel spear in his right hand and smashed it at Cao Shixiong like a storm. Cao Shixiong was a little puzzled. He didn't even bother with the opponent, but the opponent was bothering him instead. What was going on? However, the steel spear was ruthless and he had no choice but to block it.
The sounds of "dang, dang, dang..." shook the entire battlefield and made Cao and Li dazed. What on earth is wrong with Zhu Li? Why is he still pestering them at this time
Zhu Li swung his long sword and entangled Li Chongba, and smashed Cao Shixiong with his steel spear. Cao Shixiong could barely withstand one or two hits, but he definitely couldn't bear it if he was hit dozens of times in a row. Not everyone could withstand Zhu Li's strange power.
In just a moment, Cao Shixiong, who was trying to stop him with his sword, was knocked down along with the warhorse he was riding. Cao Shixiong was bleeding from his nose and mouth, and he was only supported by his willpower and ruthlessness.
The current situation was that even if Zhu Li asked him to escape, he would not have the strength to do so. He was completely exhausted by Zhu Li's fierce attack. How could Zhu Li let go of such an opportunity? He casually swung his spear and hit the opponent on the back of the head, knocking Cao Shixiong unconscious completely.
Li Chongba saw this scene and secretly thought that it was not good. Zhu Li was going to capture them alive. But it was too late for him to leave now. Zhu Li had a long knife in one hand and
He held a double-edged spear in his hand and wielded it like two people. He had just dealt with Cao Shixiong over there, and then he swung his long sword to attack the enemy, forcing Li Chongba to stop and intercept.
After dealing with Cao Shixiong, Zhu Li could use both sword and spear to deal with Li Chongba, causing the opponent to face a surge of pressure. In just five or six breaths, he was in danger and was unable to cope with the situation.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhu Li slashed at his chest with a knife, tempting Li Chongba to block with his halberd. Li Chongba was fooled and pulled the halberd hard, holding it upright on his chest, intending to block the knife.
But don't forget that Zhu Li still has a steel spear in his right hand. When the long sword slashed out, he also pulled out the steel spear. He cut his chest with the sword and hit his neck with the spear. What could Li Chongba do now? He hesitated for a moment and was hit on the neck by the spear. He saw stars, had difficulty breathing, and almost suffocated to death.
In this state, how could he block Zhu Li's sword attack on his chest? He was about to be cut in half. Suddenly, Zhu Li's sword flipped over, and the horizontal cut immediately turned into a horizontal slash, instantly sweeping him off the horse. At the same time, the spear that was freed up came down and hit him on the back of the head without giving him a chance to react. Li Zhongba felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and he knew nothing. His last thought was: Fortunately, I am not dead.
The battle here had just ended when the Cao army had already withdrawn. Seeing Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba fall into Zhu Li's hands, Zhu Wen did not want to save them, but he was simply unable to do so. There was no one who could come forward to save the two. Just when Zhu Li knocked Cao Shixiong unconscious, he decisively ordered a retreat.
Zhu Wen was born a gangster and had been in the streets for a long time. He had a good eye. He knew that it was time to withdraw the troops. He was absolutely right in his judgment. The morale of the Cao army was low. Even if he wanted to use a large army to cover them and save the two, it would be impossible. If he continued to attack when the morale was low, Zhu Wen's good days would be over.
Zhu Li wanted to lead his troops to attack, but he was the governor of the camp after all, and there was a commander-in-chief of the camp above him. Besides, although the Cao army was retreating, they were not in disorder. If he attacked them, the outcome would still be fifty-fifty. The coalition army was not his, and it was not something he could decide on his own. Looking at the Cao army's well-planned formation, Zhu Li was full of worries, but he could only sigh helplessly.
The challenge ended in a whimper. The Cao army came with great momentum, but in the end they retreated in disgrace. However, all the military governors of the coalition army could see clearly that the challenge was directed at Zhu Li. Even a blind man could see that they wanted to kill Zhu Li. Did these two have a grudge? Everyone was confused, but some people figured it out and couldn't help but look at Zhu Li with a higher opinion.
With a lot of suspicion and uncertainty, the coalition forces retreated back to the camp. Only then did Zhou Dewei send several guards to carry Cao Shixiong and Li Chongba back.
When Zhu Li was in danger, it was not that Zhou Dewei did not want to rush out, but he was a step slow and let Shi Yan rush out first. As the only two generals around Zhu Li, since one of them had gone out to attack, the other had to stay behind to command the troops no matter what to prevent the whole army from being wiped out in case of any emergency.
When the army returned to the camp, the other military governors expressed their condolences to Zhu Li symbolically and then hurried back to their own tents. They had not yet realized that Zhu Wen had captured Zhu Li's parents, but Zhu Li did not want to tell them this clearly.
