Chapter 922

Once the rout is opened, it is difficult to close.

The soldiers went one after the other, but instead of charging, they fled for their lives. Among the princes of the empire, Jiangnan Bing was undoubtedly the richest, but he was the most vulnerable to battle.

When they win, they can take advantage of the victory, but when they are defeated, they will not rise to the challenge.

Faced with this situation, Li Xingzai, Qi Jiguang, and Chu Yunsheng ...... Many breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Now that the battle has progressed, I finally see the hope of winning by one or two points.

Of course, now is not the time to taste the fruits of victory, and it is necessary to take advantage of the victory to pursue and beat the water dogs.

Qi Jiguang commanded the army, and the blood flag in his hand kept waving down, and the meaning expressed was only two words: charge, charge, charge......

This team, which was beaten to the point of losing its armor, showed an unprecedented fighting spirit. They rushed forward, using the weapons in their hands and the lives of their companions to open the way, and approached the main formation of the Jiangnan Army.

The Jiangnan soldiers were already a little defeated at the moment, and Hong kept giving orders, trying to stop the rout, so that the soldiers turned around and fought.

The Jiangnan soldiers are not undominant at present, and they still surpass the Eastern Navy in terms of strength. As long as you hold your ground, this battle is still undecided.

But Hong can't do it.

Tempering a team's will to fight is not an overnight effort, nor is it by no means a matter of shouting two slogans before the war to make people desperate. Fighting is to put your life in your hands, and use the bones and blood brought from your mother's womb to accomplish your feats.

It's a lot of work to really understand the soldiers under your command, they're not simple numbers, and they're not just fighting machines with armor and spears. They are all flesh and blood, crying and laughing.

Hong didn't really know them.

Jiangnan soldiers are used to running away, and this kind of thing is not the first time for them, nor is it the last.

Everyone is a hundred and ten pounds of meat raised by their mother's father, why do you want to work hard for you.

At this moment, the flood is powerless.

The Eastern Navy rushed out like a wolf and a tiger, cutting people when they saw them, and killing them whenever they saw them. Under such an offensive, the Jiangnan soldiers were already defeated.

Hong shouted hoarsely, but nothing could be changed, and now his eyes were red and he was spurting blood with hatred.

His subordinates hugged him and said, "Marshal, the enemy soldiers are brave, let's avoid their edge first, and then make plans." ”

Hong pushed them away, and a powerful force erupted from this thin body.

With a thud, he drew his sword, his eyes like a torch.

The battle is not over yet, and it is not that Hong has nothing to change.

His gaze swept over the chaotic army, and almost at first glance he discovered Li Xingya's existence.

In addition to being a strategizing marshal, he is also a rare kendo master in the world, and what he has to do now is to take the head of the general in the army.

The body flashed into the chaos and advanced like a swimming fish. The chaotic crowd could not hinder his steps.

This may be the only thing Hong can do at the moment, to capture the flag and boost his morale, and there is still room for struggle in this matter.

Li Xingzai was in the pain of fighting, and suddenly felt a warning in his heart, only to see the sword light flashing, and a long sword pierced his eyebrows.

This is the sword of the world's first-class master, bullying the frost and snow, chasing the stars and the moon, and in an instant, Li Xingzai couldn't move.

Clang.

There was a crisp sound, and a huge axe struck the sword, forcing Hong's sword back.

When he raised his head, he saw a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, stopping in front of Li Xingzai.

Hong was born in the rivers and lakes, and what he learned was the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, not the method of fighting on the battlefield. If he catches and kills, the general will not be his opponent.

It's just that this Xu Wentian has also been on the rivers and lakes for half his life, and he can compete with Chen Meng, and his ability is naturally not weak.

At the moment, Xu Wentian also needs a chance to make meritorious contributions, thanks to this sword, it gave him a chance.

Hong secretly attacked the killer, thinking that it was inevitable, but was blocked by Xu Wentian. He shot a sword, but he only had a chance to shoot with a sword.

Faced with this scene, Li Xingya was stunned at first, and then laughed.

"The two armies face each other, and if the commander does not move, he can win a decisive victory. Ruer waited, carrying a three-foot sword, asking for a certain head, but the courage of a horseman. ”

Xu Wentian gasped, Li Xingzai's words were enough to slash his teeth, and the words kicked Li Xingzai's heart, and the trick of sprinkling salt on the wound, his majesty was really good at it.

After all, Hong is a young man, although he is a young man, he still has the blood and strength of a young man. He could stand this, his eyes were dazzled, and he almost fainted.

"Dare enough, die. ”

Carrying a three-foot Qingfeng, he wanted to cut off Li Xingya's head. Xu Wentian held a big axe, met Hong, and directly replaced defense with attack, blindly attacking.

After thirteen axes, Ma Mengqi arrived, and a spear forced the flood back.

Hong Liao had already killed his red eyes, and he wanted to go up again, but he was pulled down by his subordinates.

The soldiers covered his retreat, and there were die-hard people: "Marshal, we are defeated, stay in the green mountains, and we are not afraid of running out of firewood." ”

"Let's ...... Defeated?"

As he spat out these words, he looked back, and saw that the soldiers were like ears of wheat, and their heads were harvested by the enemy. Those who were lucky enough to escape fled in all directions, and they could no longer care about their own formation.

Indeed, defeated.

Hong's eyes darkened and he fainted.

His men were busy holding him up, and some of the die-hard men carried him on their backs, and the soldiers gathered together and fled with him on their backs.

In a daze, Hong glanced back, and secretly thought in his heart: Give me another chance, maybe I can win it back.

To tell the truth, he did not lack talent, nor did he lack wisdom, and after the teaching of two famous teachers, he had the opportunity to become a first-class strategist in the world.

But that's later, not now. Now he is too young to have not experienced a few hard battles and has not tasted many defeats. When he has experienced enough failures and knows that such things as face are not important, and he can accomplish some things ruthlessly, then he is not far from peerlessness.

But perhaps, he will never have this opportunity.

There is no shortage of geniuses in the world, and there is no shortage of geniuses who died young. Before they have time to become, they have already passed away, flooded, or red dust, and may not have such luck.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights before it came to an end. In this battle, the 200,000 troops of Jiangnan soldiers were defeated in one fell swoop, and it can be said that it was a complete victory.

But it was also a pyrrhic victory, and Li Xingya's department in the East China Sea also suffered heavy casualties. If Hong holds on a little longer, as long as he survives the first round of fierce battles, the balance of victory will be in his favor.

But without if, in this battle, he is already a loser.

Li Xingzai also did not have time to mourn the fallen soldiers, he still had a lot to do. This big picture was painstakingly planned, and the purpose was of course not only to defeat Hong.

This bloody battle is only the beginning, far from the end.

Li Xingya's next target is Yangzhou.
