The war broke out suddenly, whether the rebels were willing or not.
However, fighting under the current circumstances would be disadvantageous to the rebels, so Dong Jin immediately organized people to block the enemy and cover their retreat.
The first general he chose was Lu Chen.
Even though they were all under Lu Yongzhi's command, many people disliked Lu Chen, and Dong Jin also disliked him.
Lu Chen is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. If you are not careful, you will be bitten by him and the bite will go deep into the bone, leaving you either dead or seriously injured.
Now that Bi Shiduo has rebelled, his target is Lu Yongzhi. At this critical moment of life and death, Lu Chen, as the vicious dog raised by Lu Yongzhi, has no choice but to be loyal to Lu Yongzhi and fight for him.
If we let him cover our retreat at this time, I believe even if he is dissatisfied, he will not dare to say much.
"Lü Chen, you lead five thousand Tanxie guards to cover the rear. Don't let the enemy rush into the main army. Otherwise, you know the consequences." Dong Jin gave the order while wielding the Poison Dragon Blade and hacking at the rebels who were swarming in. He looked at Lu Chen coldly.
Lu Chen's eyes were blurred into a slit. He turned his head and looked at Dong Jin viciously. He swung the double-edged halberd in his hand non-stop, killing a rebel guard. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, General, have a safe journey. As long as I am alive, I will not let the rebels advance even a single step."
"Okay, General Lu's loyalty is evident. I will report the truth to the captain and ask for credit for you." Dong Jin didn't care about the other party's eyes at all. He acted in an impartial manner and rode away to the rear of the army, leaving a half-true and half-false promise in the distance.
Dong Jin just wanted to teach Lu Chen a lesson and make him suffer. How could he not know that among the rebels, there was already a pair of fierce eyes aiming at Lu Chen. If Lu Chen retreated with the army, it would be fine. After all, in Zhu Li's heart, no matter how much he wanted to kill this beast, he had to clear the obstacles in front of him first.
But sometimes a slight difference in one's thoughts can lead to completely different results. After Dong Jin gave instructions to Lu Chen, he was busy organizing the army to retreat, and Xu Kan also led his troops to retreat. Since Lu Chen was there to cover their retreat, why did he stay behind
Lu Chen was holding back a feeling of depression and shouting loudly, leading his own Taoxie Guards to the front, trying his best to block the attack of Bi Shiduo and others. However, his own eyes were wandering around, observing, trying to avoid confronting the rebel generals, because he knew that once he was entangled by the opponent's generals, it would be difficult to escape.
But at this moment, a figure, like the ghost-faced demon king rushing out from the Shura field, swung his spear and swept across the area. A large number of Taoxie guards were swept away in an instant along with the man's spear.
Countless bodies of guards were blown into the air by that man, like countless waves stirred up by huge waves hitting rocks. That man obviously did not seek to kill the guards. He galloped on his horse, and his target was exactly where Lu Chen was standing.
The man who came was very brave. Lu Chen's heart tightened and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. Who is this person and why is he wearing a mask? But is it useful to think about these things at this time
Without thinking about it any more, Lu Chen immediately shouted to the guards on both sides: "Go, stop that man for me."
Dozens of guardsmen, upon receiving the order, rushed towards Zhu Li without hesitation. However, in Zhu Li's eyes, what was the difference between these guardsmen and those ordinary elite soldiers
He just stretched out his right hand and twirled the spear with one arm. The spear weighing 180 kilograms was instantly played around by him like a rapidly spinning roulette wheel. Those guards who had just rushed to his front were involuntarily sent flying backwards as soon as they were touched or knocked by the spear. Without exception, all of them were either killed or injured.
Lu Chen had just sent out a group of guards and was about to turn his horse around to attack elsewhere when he suddenly saw a figure disappear in front of him.
A shadow suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Facing this man, he did not have the feeling of facing an enemy general at all. This man was like a ghost king who had escaped from hell and demanded his life. Wherever he rode his horse, there were broken limbs and countless corpses everywhere. The endless smell of blood filled the entire space, which was nauseating to smell.
The spear came silently and left no trace, like a fairy from the sky or a flash of lightning in the sky. In less than half a breath, it had arrived in front of him.
Such an abrupt and strange spear made Lu Chen so frightened that his heart and liver broke and cold sweat dripped down. He didn't even have time to think, and he swung the double-edged halberd with all his strength like a conditioned reflex to meet the attack. He had to block it and had to stop it.
"Bang"
"puff"
There was a loud bang, followed by the sound of weapons clashing, and a double-edged halberd was thrown into the air with a "whoosh", and it turned out that its owner had lost his.
At the same time, Lu Chen could not withstand the powerful impact and flew backwards, falling in the air. There was a sad and beautiful blood flower above his flying body, which was dazzling and chilling. It was Lu Chen's blood.
Zhu Li did not give up after knocking Lu Chen's weapon away with one blow. He rode his horse at full speed, as fast as the wind, and chased after the flying body. He waved the spear in his hand again, from bottom to top, and the spear burned the sky.
"puff"
There was another subtle sound, and Zhu Li, who had caught up with Lu Chen, stabbed out with a spear, which pierced through Lu Chen's body. The spear pierced Lu Chen's back and went straight through his body. The spear head came out from the opponent's chest, with bloodstains on it, which made countless guards tremble with fear.
Zhu Li held the spear in one hand, raised it with all his strength, and shouted loudly: "Lü Chen is dead, why don't you surrender?"
Yang Zaixing, who had been protecting Zhu Li, was waving his spear and whipping the surrounding Taoxie guards with all his might, forcing them not to get close to Zhu Li. Suddenly he heard Zhu Li's loud shout and quickly raised his head.
Not far in front of him, he saw a dead body hanging on the spear of his own envoy. The man in silver helmet and black armor was a general of the enemy. Although he didn't know whether the man was really Lu Chen, Yang Zaixing naturally didn't care about him and immediately shouted: "Lu Chen is dead, and he will not be killed if he surrenders."
Chen Gong, who was at the end, also saw this scene. Zhu Li's strength completely shocked his soul. He thought that Yang Zaixing was powerful enough, and Zhu Li was at most similar to Yang Zaixing. But today, he finally witnessed Zhu Li's bravery. He was simply a living devil.
Chen Gong naturally knew how good Lu Chen's martial arts were. At least he was no match for him. But even such a powerful Lu Chen couldn't even last a round in the hands of Zhu Li. How embarrassing it was for him. You know, he once considered himself a fierce general, but in comparison, was he also a fierce general? For a moment, he even doubted himself.
But this was obviously not the time to doubt himself. He was also a veteran who had been through many battles. As Yang Zaixing echoed him, he also shouted: "Lü Chen is dead. He will not be killed if he surrenders."
The shouts of the three finally alerted Bi Shiduo and the others. They saw from afar that the general with the ghost mask was holding a Yangzhou general in silver helmet and black armor on his spear. Bi Shiduo and the others didn't care whether it was true or not, and immediately followed suit and shouted: "Lü Chen is dead, and he will not be killed if he surrenders."
Following the general's lead, countless guards of the rebel army immediately echoed: "Lü Chen is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."
"Lü Chen is already dead. We will not kill him if he surrenders."
"Lü Chen is dead,
If you surrender, don’t kill them.”
... ... .
With the support of countless rebel guards, the Moxie Duwei who were left behind suddenly became panic-stricken. The general is the courage and heart of the soldiers. When they are frightened and lost, who can make them calm down
The remaining Moxie guards collapsed immediately after Lu Chen's death. They were defeated like a landslide. Five thousand people were not a small number. Their escape instantly alarmed Dong Jin and others who were raising flags to gather troops.
From the time Dong Jin left Lu Chen to the time he finally raised the commander's flag and gathered his troops, it took less than half a cup of tea. But in the end, the remaining army collapsed. This sudden scene caught him off guard.
He could even clearly hear the shouts of "Lü Chen is dead, and he will not be killed if he surrenders."
Hearing the rebels' shouts, Dong Jin and Xu Kan's faces instantly became solemn. They had just barely formed a formation when the fleeing army rushed towards them head-on.
"Ah, bastards, stop them quickly." Dong Jin almost went crazy when he saw the fleeing Taoxie guards being driven by the rebels towards the main camp of his own army.
"Damn it, what are you still standing there for? Don't let them rush in." Xu Kan also shouted angrily.
However, when the guards on the periphery saw that those fleeing were all their own people, they had no idea whether to fight them with swords and guns or let them rush into the main camp.
The battlefield was changing rapidly. Just as they hesitated, the results that Dong Jin and Xu Kan had worked so hard to organize immediately fell apart, and the army became a mess again in an instant.
At this moment, Zhu Li came riding a horse, carrying Lu Chen's body. On his left was Yang Zaixing, and on his right was Chen Gong. The three seemed to be in perfect harmony. The enemy's formation was already in disarray. If they didn't take the opportunity to kill them, when would they
Zhu Li swung his spear and threw Lu Chen's body away. The three of them used Zhu Li as a sharp blade, formed a triangle, and rushed into the chaotic Yangzhou army on horseback. Bi Shiduo and his subordinates did not delay either, and immediately rushed in through the gap left by Zhu Li and his three men.
The spears were crisscrossing, sweeping across the land invincible; the long spears were flying, stabbing like rain; the long swords were like silk threads, slashing like a curtain.
Zhu Li and his two companions were extremely brave and invincible. They charged straight towards the direction of the central army's flag. Xu Kan saw that something was wrong. What were these three trying to do? Did they want to learn the same trick of beheading the generals and seizing the flag in the midst of thousands of soldiers
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Xu Kan did not dare to delay. He immediately rode out on his horse and drew his sword to stop the enemy.
Xu Kan's martial arts are on par with Lu Chen's. Lu Chen couldn't even withstand Zhu Li's attack. Could Xu Kan do the same? Obviously not.
Zhu Li rode his horse and swung his spear. The spear was agile like a angry dragon across the river. With just one blow, Xu Kan was blown away with his sword. The flying figure was covered with blood, which was a sad scene.
General Xu Kan was vulnerable, and the countless guards blocking the flag were even more helpless. Dong Jin wanted to protect the flag, but he was targeted by Yang Zaixing who came from the side. His spear was like a dragon, piercing and lashing, and he was so overwhelmed that he could not free his hands.
A horse flew into the air, with a spear whirling towards the sky, from top to bottom, it was like a pillar of heaven collapsing, and it fiercely slammed into the flagpole of the commander's flag. The man on the horse had a ghost mask on his face, like the god of death coming, and he was invincible.
Watching this scene, Dong Jin was furious and his eyes were red, but he was powerless and felt inexplicably sad and angry.
With a "crack", the flag was instantly snapped. Zhu Li fell off his horse, holding his spear horizontally, and dragged the broken flag upside down. He looked around with invincibility and shouted to the sky, "Dong Jin is dead, why don't you surrender?"
