Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 98: Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is dark yellow! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

And from the perspective of Emperor Yongjin looking from afar.

Chu Shizhao rushed out from the west gate with great momentum.

There were many brave generals among these ant thieves. Zhang Du, the siege general deployed by Wang Shouyi at the west gate, saw such a good opportunity and volunteered to lead more than 10,000 troops at the west gate to attack Chu Shizhao's location.

Taking Chu Shizhao's head was his first achievement. When he led his army to besiege Poyang before, the enemy was steadfast in defending and it was difficult for them to climb to the top of the city first. This back and forth had already made Zhang Du very angry.

He felt that as long as the enemy dared to leave the city, they would have no chance to compete with their army of hundreds of thousands. Especially when he saw the sparse soldiers behind Chu Shizhao, Zhang Du felt that the enemy was at their wit's end and was forced to make the decision when they had no other options to retreat.

At this time, what morale can the other side have?
The fat sheep that was offered to him voluntarily would probably make Zhang Du famous and get promoted.

He immediately rode his horse forward and charged forward, wanting to engage in close combat, but he saw a flash of cold light.

Zhang Du was shocked.

Chu Shizhao's stabbing seemed to be just an ordinary one.

But when Zhang Du gently parted, he felt a tremendous force sweeping over him, and was directly hit by the powerful force of the gun, causing him to spit blood and foam at the mouth.

At that moment, Zhang Du's blocking effort was the result of his best efforts.

However, this was just the beginning. Chu Shizhao's next move came like a torrential rain. The tip of the spear flicked, and a silver arc of light flashed like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix.

Zhang Du knew he was no match for his opponent and wanted to dodge, but facing Chu Shizhao's move which was so light and yet carried the belief that it would kill with one blow, there was simply no way to avoid it.

Especially since Zhang Du was a little careless at the beginning, Chu Shizhao, who was charging on horseback, had the inertia of sprinting. The first move deflected Zhang Du's weapon, putting Zhang Du in a deadly situation.

When the second shot landed, a hole immediately appeared on Zhang Du's body, and he fell miserably to the ground. Chu Shizhao raised the sword on his left, and a huge head fell into Chu Shizhao's hand.

"The enemy general is dead, who dares to fight me!!!"

Zhang Du had made great contributions under Wang Shouyi's command and was also an excellent martial artist. Otherwise, he would not have led 10,000 soldiers and was an expert at flanking attacks at the west gate.

When his subordinates saw Zhang Du being beheaded so easily, they all showed stunned and surprised expressions, and then retreated lightly. Without a leader, these ant thieves immediately showed their fear of fighting.

After all, they were just farmers who tilled the land before. They just took up weapons and killed more people who had little resistance in order to grab food and survive.

That is to say, during the siege of Poyang, they had more experience in fighting, but such experience was obviously not enough, especially without the backbone, and morale collapsed even faster.

It didn't take long for Ximen's other main general, Chang He, to rush over on horseback. He had to stabilize the morale of the army. If he didn't come out at this time, the army would be defeated.

"Why don't you surround him?" Chang He shouted angrily, "Even if there are more than a dozen of us, if we surround him, he will be doomed."

Under Chang He's aggressive words, the ant thieves who originally wanted to retreat plucked up the courage and surrounded Chu Shizhao again, wanting to kill him here.

However, Chu Shizhao killed Zhang Du in the battle, and the morale of the Poyang soldiers behind him was high. They were encouraged when they left the city, and when they saw Chu Shizhao rushing in the front, how could they just give up? They chopped down the surrounding ant thieves to the ground in one breath.

Emperor Yongjin had already integrated into the atmosphere of the battlefield by this time. Perhaps it was the boiling blood in Old Seven's body that made him feel an unprecedented excitement surging.

He raised a tattered longbow hanging behind him and instinctively shot towards the distance.

Most of the royal family members were skilled in hunting, and riding and shooting were their specialty, which also made Emperor Yongjin an excellent archer.

In this melee, Emperor Yongjin also shot and killed several people.

However, the number of ant thieves was too large. Even the front line on the west gate had nearly 50,000 troops deployed. The number of soldiers leaving Poyang was only 8,000, and 3,000 of them were led by Lan Shu to launch a surprise attack on the granary.

In such a dark night, the soldiers of Poyang could only rely on a few torches to light their way forward.

Soon, one torch after another was extinguished by the gradually heavy rain.

All of a sudden, the Poyang soldiers were surrounded by the ant thieves.

Chu Shizhao rode a warhorse and was protected by armor, so he could move freely and recklessly. However, most of the Poyang soldiers were infantry, and even if they wore armor, their mobility was not as good as Chu Shizhao's.

In addition, Chu Shizhao was eager to destroy the enemy's morale, so he killed further and further in one breath.

"Your Highness, are you going to abandon us?"

Among the besieged Poyang soldiers, someone cried out in surprise, and Chu Shizhao, whose horse was already covered in blood, reined in his horse and looked back.

He fought back again, beheading the ant thieves who surrounded his own soldiers, and carved out a bloody path for his soldiers who were fighting to the death.

"I'm here." Chu Shizhao himself was also surrounded, but when he heard the cries for help from his soldiers, he drove his horse and rushed to their side almost immediately.

Dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow!

Emperor Yongjin looked at Chu Shizhao, who was covered in blood, riding his horse in and out seven times as if he was in an empty place, and something in his heart moved.

Is this general in front of him, who is fighting bloody battles and defeating the enemy like a god from heaven, really the fourth son in his family?
This is truly the most courageous of all!!!

What followed was an indescribable sense of pride.

At this moment, the ant thieves who were constantly approaching the battlefield were even more frightened.

Chu Shizhao took advantage of the situation to rescue the Poyang soldiers who were surrounded and attacked. These Poyang soldiers immediately gathered together, trying their best not to be left alone and protecting the soldiers around them.

At first glance, it seemed that the ant thieves had surrounded the Poyang soldiers and blocked their way. But in fact, when they got to the actual fighting distance, the ground was covered with the corpses of the ant thieves. Many people were just watching and did not dare to rush up with their swords to fight with the Poyang soldiers.

Therefore, the Poyang soldiers could advance their position by taking a step forward. It seemed that the ant thieves were surrounded, but the front line was constantly retreating.

Seeing this, Chang He gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to go forward.

After all, Chu Shizhao, wearing armor and a silver helmet, was like a dragon swimming in the sea. Wherever his cloak went, there were remnants of the defeated army.

He often said that the most important thing was to stabilize the morale of the army and stay as active as possible on the battlefield. As long as he was there, with his supervision and rebuke, it would be impossible for all the rebel troops to retreat until reinforcements from other gates arrived and they had the support of other generals.

Even if Chu Shizhao was a good killer, could he really kill so many generals in their rebel army?

Thinking of this, Chang He suddenly saw Chu Shizhao rushing towards him at a very fast speed. His expression changed greatly. He immediately turned his horse around and wanted to retreat, but bumped into the guard beside him.

Chang He wanted to curse, but seeing Chu Shizhao coming to attack him again, Chang He immediately panicked. He had no intention of fighting the enemy. Zhang Du and he were equally skilled in martial arts, and within two moves, Zhang Du was killed.

How capable is Chang He to fight against Chu Shizhao?
The personal guards around Chang He fought desperately. They were much more elite than those ant thieves. However, no matter how elite they were, they were just infantrymen and soldiers.

Seeing Chu Shizhao getting closer and closer to him, Chang He rode his horse back a few steps, then shot an arrow. Chu Shizhao was hit right in the chest by the arrow. Fortunately, Chang He's arrow missed the part where the armor scales were tightly closed, causing blood to gush out from Chu Shizhao's chest.

Emperor Yongjin got a splitting headache when he saw this scene.

When fighting side by side, the blood ties are the hardest to give up.

Especially knowing that Chu Shizhao was the only son left by Emperor Yongjin, seeing him being shot by an arrow was as painful as if Emperor Yongjin himself had been shot.

A villain who stabs people in the back!
Chang He saw that his sudden attack with a cold arrow had such a miraculous effect, and thought that he could force Chu Shizhao to retreat, and even have a chance to counterattack and kill him. However, he saw that Chu Shizhao did not retreat but advanced instead, so he fired another shot and stabbed Chang He off his horse.

"Good——" Emperor Yongjin couldn't help but shout.

The morale of the other Poyang soldiers who saw this was also boosted. Nothing could boost the momentum and atmosphere of the team better than having their own coach who is brave and good at fighting and leads by example.

Han Gu, who continued to command the soldiers in Poyang, gradually became the commander-in-chief of this remnant army without realizing it.

When Chu Shizhao was chasing Chang He, Han Guji's well-organized orders made more people willing to obey his orders.

Originally, there were only a hundred people under Han Gu who obeyed his orders, but later it evolved into a thousand people who were willing to listen to his orders. When more and more people listened to his orders, others also began to obey Han Gu's dispatch.

The well-organized army formations were deployed one by one under Han Gu's command, directly putting the ant bandits in a dilemma. Originally, after Chu Shizhao killed Zhang Du and Chang He, the ant bandits were almost half defeated, but when Wang Shouyi's army continued to gather and pour in, the scattered army formation was stabilized by Wang Shouyi again.

In fact, apart from Zhang Du's reckless advance, Chang He's approach was flawless. It not only bought enough time for the rest of the rebels, but also effectively stabilized Zhang Du's scattered troops.

Now Wang Shouyi's army is approaching continuously, emerging like ants, one after another, like black dots densely packed with human heads on the battlefield, which is daunting.

At this moment, Emperor Yongjin fell into despair again.

Chu Shizhao was able to kill, fight, and break through, and his performance was amazing, but the ant thieves did not collapse completely. They were able to hold on and keep making up for it, as if they could not be killed.

Can such a battle really be won?
Looking at the Poyang soldiers around him falling one after another and replacing their own lines one after another, Han Gu forced himself to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this time, Emperor Yongjin could only grit his teeth and persevere, struggling to survive in this battlefield that was like minced meat.

Suddenly, after a loud thunderclap, a chill filled the sky. The sound of rain suddenly turned into a torrential downpour. The battlefield shrouded in the night looked even more solemn and terrifying with the flashing lightning and heavy rain.

"The enemy's food supplies have been destroyed, everyone follow me to kill--" Lan Shu's voice came from the other side.

However, this was not just Lan Shu's voice, but also the voice of the three thousand soldiers under Lan Shu shouting together.

Han Gu felt a little relieved.

In just a breath, Chu Shizhao shouted: "General Yang Fang's reinforcements have arrived, soldiers, kill them——"

Han Gu couldn't hide his joy when he heard this, and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived!!!!!!"

He recognized that it was Lan Shu's voice, and he also knew that the reinforcements would definitely not be able to reach the battlefield in time. But at this time, the order issued by Chu Shizhao was the most inspiring.

"Follow me and kill——" Han Gu Zhen raised his arms and shouted.

Han Gu had captured a warhorse from somewhere. Han Gu, who had an extraordinary temperament, looked like a great general when he rode on the horse.

He ignored the soldiers gathered around him, and instead charged out from the army alone, completely revealing his determination, as if he was sure that reinforcements had arrived.

With Han Gu's performance, other Poyang soldiers also thought that reinforcements had arrived and their morale was high. Everyone looked at the ant thieves in front of them as if they were walking military merits, and burst out with abnormal fighting power.

It was as if he wanted to completely vent the frustration of being besieged by the ant thieves in Poyang City.

The morale of these fleeing ant thieves was already low, and in the thunder and lightning weather, they could not even discern the real situation on the battlefield.

They pushed each other, and the slowly rising strong wind and heavy rain became more and more intense. Even Wang Shouyi and his personal guards who were in charge of the main camp could not stand and were pushed by the continuously retreating crowd. The war horses accompanying the team were also shaking with fear at such a scene.

If one person escapes, he can supervise the battle.

Even if ten people escape, they can still be beheaded.

Even if a hundred people escape, there is still room to stop them.

Thousands of men were defeated and tens of thousands fled, and it was so late at night and amidst such a thunderstorm. It would be difficult for anyone to effectively control such a defeated army.

Chu Shizhao marched straight in and defeated Wang Shouyi's rebel army. Emperor Yongjin, who was in the crowd, looked at the scene and fell into deep shock.

Especially when they were cleaning up the battlefield, Han Gu told him that the reinforcements were just Lan Shu, who was sent by Chu Shizhao to attack the granary, and that he had only 3,000 soldiers and horses, Emperor Yongjin was speechless.

Because, from the beginning to the end, he thought that reinforcements had really arrived, and never thought that this Lan Shu's surprise army was another force sent by Chu Shizhao to launch a surprise attack on the granary. He also never thought that Chu Shizhao, Lan Shu, and Han Gu could make such a unified on-the-spot judgment.

This is by no means a victory achieved simply by personal bravery.

When Emperor Yongjin regained consciousness, he heard only a faint narrative voice in his ears.

The speaker's voice is broad and deep.

He described the whole process slowly like a storyteller.

But every word he said made Emperor Yongjin, who had personally experienced the Battle of Poyang, amazed.

[In the Zhou Shu Zhuan, the historian described this shocking scene as: "People were trampling on each other, and corpses were lying for more than a hundred miles."]

[This is the world-famous "Battle of Poyang", a famous battle of the gods in which a smaller force defeated a larger one and it is difficult to replicate! ]

[“Let’s go to the bloody battle of Poyang together! How wonderful! How wonderful!”, “Attack the heart outside the west gate and try our best to turn the tide.”, “In a desperate situation, why should we care about our lives!”]

As the voices of Lan Shu, Han Gu, and Chu Shizhao rang out one after another, this impassioned ending once again cheered up Emperor Yongjin, who was feeling sleepy after having experienced the Battle of Poyang.

After a while, Emperor Yongjin finally came back to his senses, and his eyes turned slightly cold.

'The Burning of Jin'?
You guys are so brave!

You actually hurt my son!

Chu Shizhao was also watching himself in the real scenes of "Battle of Poyang". The effect was like that of a TV drama, which made him feel as if he was actually there, recreating the scene again.

Looking back, Chu Shizhao also saw more details.

One is Han Gu's decisiveness and his performance in battle, and the other is Lan Shu's brutality. This man is no longer brave, but a ferocious man who is determined to kill others.

It is worth mentioning that the Chu Shizhao in the simulation is the result of deduction based on Chu Shizhao’s original personality.

It was actually Chu Shizhao himself who was fighting.

The only difference is that Chu Shizhao has been tempered in simulation and his abilities have been significantly improved.

It’s just that the events he experienced were different, and the various routes that emerged after various accidents led to different endings for Chu Shizhao.

Just like Chu Shizhao’s earliest simulations, when the military force was average, relying on the people’s support and reputation, he insisted on defending Chang’an. In a situation where there was an obvious gap in the attribute panels, he would end up dead.

The version of Chu Shizhao in "Battle of Poyang" is not only his debut in this simulation, but also a battle to become a god.

You have to know that when Chu Shizhao was in seclusion, he worked hard and constantly honed his martial arts. In "The Battle of Poyang", the value reached 89 points.

Although Chu Shizhao's physique and initial stats already give him a basic strength of 70 points, after three years of seclusion, his strength has increased from 70 points to 89 points, a mark of a famous general. This shows how terrifying the amplification ability of [Enlightenment in Longchang] is.

After finishing "Battle of Poyang", Chu Shizhao's character broke through the 'upper limit barrier' of 90 points and reached 93 points in one fell swoop.

Among the ant thieves in "Battle of Poyang", only Wang Shouyi's combat power value has exceeded 85 points, making him capable of fighting.

But Wang Shouyi holds the advantage and it is impossible for him to fight Chu Shizhao head-on. Unfortunately, Chu Shizhao is in a desperate situation.

So, the courage to give it a try at this time is Chu Shizhao's seventh piece of divine equipment.

Now that Chu Shizhao has watched the entire process of "The Battle of Poyang", even he himself feels that this battle is too difficult to replicate.

I am so lucky.

He just happened to bump into Han Gu and Lan Shu when they were children.

Without the outstanding performance of these two people, it would be difficult for Chu Shizhao to achieve such combat performance results. This can be said to be a famous scene that can only be created by the three of them working together.

In Chu Shizhao's All-Star card pool, he felt that Han Gu and Lan Shu should be put on the admission list as soon as possible.

These two are Chu Shizhao’s generals!
