The body of the Shiwu general fell to the ground, and the glaring blood gathered into a small pool on the ground. The whole place seemed to be quiet for a moment, with only the whistling north wind. Zhao Feng tilted his head to stretch his muscles, and then he shouted in the direction of Shiwu.
"How can a young man go out to fight against you?"
The sound waves with strong murderous aura instantly spread throughout the Ten Crows Army. The less courageous soldiers in front took a few steps back, fear overflowing from the bottom of their hearts, and morale was low. At this time, the king of the central army's main account had a gloomy face, but there was a cluster of cold fireworks burning in his eyes. He was very embarrassed at this moment, and he came to break through the gate with great vigor and high spirits, but ended up losing two games in a row.
Zhao Feng must be killed today!
"The first one to reach the summit, seize the flag and kill the general will be rewarded with five thousand taels of gold! He will also be rewarded with a mansion, a thousand acres of fertile land, and hundreds of beauties!" The Ten Crows King knew very well how to motivate the people. He raised his hand and pointed to the vague pass covered by the endless fine snow.
"All of this is behind this mighty pass!" As he spoke, the Ten Crows King patted his armrests and stood up, concentrating his energy in his dantian and shouting loudly, "You are all the bravest men of the Ten Crows. Who among you can take off this boy's head for me?"
When there is a big reward, there will always be brave men.
Five thousand taels of gold, a mansion, thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of beauties, this is something no one can resist!
Immediately, a military general stepped forward.
It was a strange and inconspicuous face.
The strength is quite outstanding.
He even issued a military order on the spot.
The Ten Crows King was naturally delighted and personally poured wine for him to cheer him up. The general drank it all in one gulp, slammed the wine bowl heavily on the ground, and turned away. Su Shiyilu frowned, but didn't say anything, but he didn't think this man could beat Zhao Feng.
Although the Ten Crows used money, power and influence to attract talents and were eager to recruit talents, they were very xenophobic in nature, especially the group headed by the Ten Crows, who looked down on those who could be bought with money. Those who reached high positions were often the Ten Crows or their confidants. The talents recruited were treated very well on the surface, but they could not get in touch with the real core.
A bunch of short-sighted idiots!
Su Shiyilu cursed in his heart.
At this time, a fool came out and whispered.
"This boy has not made much progress in his daily life. Isn't it too rash to leave the crucial third battle to him?"
Su Shiyilu sneered: "Then why don't you come down and fight the generals, and bring the head of this abominable villain to us?"
Who here doesn’t have sharp ears and eyes
"Whispering" is nothing more than "covering one's ears and stealing the bell".
The idiot was a little afraid to offend Su Shiyilu when he saw that the person who spoke up was Su Shiyilu, but when he thought that the other party was already showing signs of losing power and that there was a strong candidate standing behind him, he felt his back hardened. He retorted: "Of course it's because I know myself. After all, being violent and ruthless is not my strong point. It was the general who lost unexpectedly and in such an undignified way."
"You—" Su Shiyilu was furious.
The Ten Crow Kings came out to reconcile the two.
It would be fine if they had internal strife at ordinary times. If these people really followed Su Shiyilu's lead, he would be uneasy. But if this situation broke out again, how would they fight the next war? Su Shiyilu and that idiot could only hold back their anger.
Outside the central army tent, the drums were beating to the sky.
But it didn't last long before it went down.
On the other hand, there was deafening cheers at Yonggu Pass.
It turned out that the second Ten Wu general had withstood a hundred or eighty blows from Zhao Feng, but was still knocked off his horse by the opponent's bronze mace, and his head was split open, following the same old path as his predecessor. However, this man was obviously much more durable than the previous one, and Zhao Feng was covered in blood.
He wiped it off carelessly.
He laughed wildly: "You guys are down on your luck today, why don't you withdraw your troops and go back to cry to your wives at home and try another way!"
The faces of the Shiwu people were already too dark to be looked at.
They had fought with Yonggu Pass for so many years, and both sides had won and lost. The Ten Crows had lost before, but losing three battles in a row was unprecedented. And even if they lost, most of the generals were able to retreat unscathed, instead of giving away two heads!
The Ten Crows King looked at the broken wine bowl on the ground, his expression seemingly calm, but in fact, the muscles on his cheeks trembled slightly, and his cheeks were tense. The more he trusted the fool who asked for a fight, the more painful it was to be slapped in the face. Why did he jump out if he had no ability
The idiot who had confronted Su Shiyilu spoke up.
"What should I do?"
The Shiwu side did have the advantage in numbers and military strength, but the troops at Yonggu Pass also had the geographical advantage of being a strong pass. At this time, they also had the morale boost from three consecutive victories, so even if the border barrier was broken, it would not be easy for them to force their way through the pass.
The king asked coldly, "What do you think?"
The idiot who was asked choked and dared not say a word.
At this time, an adult prince came out.
He suggested: "The only way out at this time is to attack with force."
We can't just go back in disgrace just because we've lost several battles and are afraid that the other side's morale is high, right? Our own morale is at a low point. If we do this, firstly, the formation will be difficult to maintain, and secondly, there's no guarantee that Chu Jie will dare to seize the opportunity and lead his troops to chase and kill.
Well, this is something Chu Jie can do.
Another prince also stepped out impatiently, clasped his fists and said bluntly: "There are only 20,000 remnants of defeated soldiers left at Yonggu Pass. If we don't take action today, when they are alert and well prepared in the future, I'm afraid we will have to pay a greater price if we want to take action again."
The Ten Crows King had already made up his mind.
He is here today to establish his authority.
And made full preparations.
If he called off the battle and led his troops to withdraw, it would be a huge blow to morale and damage the iron-blooded reputation he had built up over the years. The loss would be huge and it was not what he wanted.
In this battle, you can only advance, not retreat!
In a flash, my mind was made up.
He said: "Attack!"
The drumbeat signaled the attack.
Su Shiyilu stood up with the others and received orders.
On the other side, Zhao Feng saw that the Ten Wu army had no reaction, so he spat in their direction and rode his warhorse back to the city. He did not forget to say as he went back: "It's not good, it's not good, each one is weaker than the other—"
Ten crows, that’s it
As soon as he returned, he saw the Ten Crows' army moving. The seemingly disorderly formation suddenly changed in an orderly manner, with practiced tacit understanding. Zhao Feng was busy recovering his martial spirit with the help of several scholars, and he also became serious when he saw this.
The fight between generals is just a warm-up match.
Increase your own morale and suppress the enemy's will to fight.
The real tough battle is just about to begin.
"Is this really the—"
Kang Shi's eyes burst into intense hatred.
"Yuanliang..."
The changes in the formation of the Ten Crows below were exactly the same as the information revealed by Qi Shan before! The Ten Crows below advanced towards Yonggu Pass in an orderly manner. Just as the army approached a certain distance, the border barrier hidden in the mountains in the distance suddenly hummed.
Spread out like ripples on water.
The ground shook slightly, and an illusory towering city wall rose from the ground, looking like an enlarged version of Yonggu Pass.
In the void, a vague voice shouted—
It sounds like the voice of one person, but also like the roar of thousands of troops.
"Anyone who crosses our border will be killed!"
