Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 542 Killing the General
After successfully assassinating Wu Wende, the defender of Wangbei City, General Song was eager to make a contribution, so he led his troops to attack the city the next day. The 100,000-strong army rushed for dozens of miles and arrived at the foot of Wangbei City.

The wind rustled, the military might was overwhelming, and an intangible, creepy aura that made people lose their fear.

Although the general attack had not yet been launched, the mere fact that the troops were lined up there and Wu Wende's head was hung on a flagpole in front of the array was enough to make the defenders on Wangbei City lose their minds and lose the will to fight.

The defenders of Wangbei City discovered the enemy's army at the first time and reported the news. However, the commander-in-chief of the city defense, Wu Wende, had been assassinated last night, and the city defense command system suffered a severe blow.

Although there was a deputy general who managed to hold on, the army's morale was lost and they were unable to organize a decent defense.

As for Guo Jing's family, they were in mourning because of the accidental deaths of Wu Da and Wu Xiao. Even though Guo and Huang, a couple, reluctantly showed up, they couldn't think of a way to repel the enemy for a while.

At three quarters past the hour of Chen, the drums of the Northern Song army sounded loudly.

A hundred thousand soldiers moved in unison, holding spears, halberds, swords, and carrying ladders, and shouting to the sky, they rushed towards Wangbei City.

“Kill him!!”

The defenders of Wangbei City did not dare to be careless. They ordered their soldiers to resist, dropping rocks and firing bows and crossbows, vowing to stop the enemy at the gate of the city.

At the beginning of the Si hour, the defenders of Wangbei City were becoming increasingly weak, and the Northern Song army seemed to be on the verge of climbing the city.

Seeing this, the deputy commander of Wangbei City had no choice but to come to Guo Jing and Huang Rong to seek help: "Mr. Guo, Madam Guo, the soldiers are about to be unable to hold on. Do you have any good ideas?"

The Guo and Huang couple were not only the leaders of the Jianghu Righteous Army, but also had been serving as Wu Wende's military advisors. They played a vital role in several previous battles with the Northern Song Army.

That's why the deputy commander of Wangbei City turned to them for help.

"According to the current situation, it is no longer effective to just defend. Only by opening the city gates and sending out troops to fight the enemy can we have a chance of repelling the enemy."

The deputy commander was puzzled when he heard this: "But our army's morale is low now, and even defense is difficult. Will a head-on battle really be effective?"

Guo Jing clenched his fists and replied, "The reason why our army's morale is low is because General Wu was killed. But if we can kill the enemy commander in the midst of thousands of troops, then our morale will rise and the enemy's morale will fall. Then the offensive and defensive positions will change, and there will be hope for this war."

"But... who can do such a thing?"

Guo Jing showed a resolute look, looking at the battle flag of the Northern Song army in the distance: "Now it seems that I am the only one left."

"no!"

Huang Rong immediately stopped him, "Brother Jing, this is too dangerous. I won't let you go!"

She could see that Guo Jing proposed this idea not just to defend Wangbei City.

As the saying goes, 'The way to employ troops is to surround them if you have ten of them, attack them if you have five of them, and divide them if you have twice as many of them'. Right now the number of troops on both sides is almost the same. Even though our side's morale is a little low, if we just want to defend the city, it is not completely hopeless.

Guo Jing was willing to put himself in danger in order to kill the enemy general. It was naturally because the two Wu brothers were killed, and he, as a master, wanted to avenge his two disciples.

It’s not that Huang Rong didn’t care about her two disciples, but she understood how dangerous this idea was.

Not to mention how difficult it is for one person to get close to the enemy commander in the midst of an army of 100,000. Even if one succeeds in getting close, if one wants to kill the enemy commander, one must first deal with the group of martial arts masters from the Jinfengxiyu Tower around him.

What's more, Guo Jing was eager for revenge and was completely out of shape. He would not be able to exert his full fighting strength. Once he was trapped by the enemy, he would surely die.

"Rong'er..."

"Stop talking, I'm the military advisor!"

Huang Rong ignored Guo Jing's look and said to the deputy commander, "Deputy commander, please dispatch the soldiers in the city to fight their way out from the other three gates, then go around to the north gate and attack the enemy together..."

The strategy of 'making dumplings' is not very clever, but it is the best method at this time.

With the encirclement of the armies on the left, right and rear, and the counterattack of the defenders in the front, the Northern Song army was instantly attacked from both sides.

The commander of the Northern Song army, General Song, was an incompetent man. When he saw the sudden change in the war situation, he immediately lost his composure. He then made several consecutive misfires in command, causing the Southern Song army to charge left and right among his own troops and he was unable to stop them. He had to lead his troops in a panic and had to retreat.

“Retreat… retreat quickly…!!”

The Southern Song army was overjoyed when they saw this. They surrounded three of the enemies and released one, fighting and chasing them at the same time.

One side was in a panic, while the other side was in pursuit. Before they knew it, the armies of both sides arrived at the battlefield they were most familiar with - "Looking North and Facing South", and started the fourth battle in two months, and perhaps the last fierce battle.

At this moment...

Boom boom boom——!!

With a loud rumbling sound, strange phenomena appeared in the sky, and disaster clouds gathered. The blue sky and white day seemed to be covered by a huge black cloth. The area within a radius of dozens of miles was shaken. In the center of the battlefield, the earth was uprooted out of thin air. The originally endless plain suddenly rose into a mountain hundreds of feet high!
The drastic changes in the terrain caused the soldiers and horses on the battlefield to fall down one after another.

Instantly the war horses neighed, panicked, and ran madly, causing countless deaths and injuries due to the stampede.

The fighting among the 200,000-strong army came to an abrupt end, replaced by screams and wails one after another, and fear filled the air.

“This…what is going on?!”

“Could it be caused by an earthquake?”

"Miracle? This is a miracle!!"

Guo Jing and his companions, who were leading their troops to charge, as well as the Northern Song army who were fleeing after their failed attack, were all stunned by the strange scene they had never seen before.

However, they were no longer able to explore the cause of the strange changes before their eyes, because a graceful figure like an immortal appeared from the sky, chanting poems, and slowly landed on the top of the mountain.

"When the land of marshes and mountains is included in the war, how can the people live happily? Please don't talk about becoming a marquis, a general's success will be forgotten forever."

The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire battlefield. The soldiers felt as if someone was talking in their ears, and they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

When the toes touched the ground, the sound spread a hundred miles away, and the heaven and earth shook again.

"Is it Lu Ping?!"

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Su Mengzhen, Bai Choufei and others all recognized the identity of the man at the first moment, and at the same time were shocked by his unpredictable methods.

Lu Ping stood upright and glanced downward.

The 200,000-strong army felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on them. The air around them became as sticky as a quagmire. They were unable to move, and even breathing was difficult.

The soldiers were sweating profusely and felt as if there were countless swords hanging above their heads. If they moved even the slightest, their heads would be torn off in the next instant. Even the war horses lay weakly on the ground, not daring to make any noise.

The turmoil suddenly quieted down at this moment.

Then Lu Ping's voice rose again: "Su Mengzhen, Huang Rong!"

The two people whose names were called instantly tensed up their muscles.

"Yesterday I said that I hope you will stop fighting after you return and restore peace between the two Song dynasties. But you started a war today. This makes it very difficult for me to deal with it..."

"You two didn't take the message back?"

"Or do you not want to give me face?"

"Or do you really want to see if I have the ability to deal with a million troops?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mengzhen and Huang Rong felt the pressure relieved, and they immediately realized that Lu Ping was asking them to reply.

Su Mengzhen immediately pushed all the responsibility away: "Su Mengzhen had already conveyed what Young Master Lu said last night, but General Song refused to listen and insisted on doing it his own way."

"Well... he recklessly raised troops, causing countless casualties on both sides. This person really deserves to be killed!!"

Lu Ping pretended to think for a few seconds, then said in a friendly manner, "Come on, point this person out to me."

With his life in danger, Su Mengzhen dared not disobey, or rather, he had already prepared to do so. He immediately raised his hand and pointed at a person not far away.

When General Song heard what Lu Ping said, he was already scared out of his wits, knowing that his life would be in danger after this finger.

He wanted to hide, but he was under such pressure that he couldn't move a muscle or even speak. He could only roar and curse wildly in his heart, severely cursing Su Mengzhen's ancestors.

Suddenly, General Song felt his body relax, as if he had regained the ability to move and speak. At the same time, Lu Ping's voice came to his ears.

"You are allowed to leave a last word."

General Song shouted angrily: "Su Mengzhen! I'll fuck you..."

Puff-!
An invisible air blade broke through the air and instantly crossed a distance of hundreds of feet.

But there was a flash of white light, and General Song's head was separated from his body in an instant. His head fell in front of Su Mengzhen, but he seemed unaware that he was dead. There was still a resentful look on his face, and he was still cursing.

"I fuck your mother... I fuck your mother..."
