The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"General Luo, why don't we surrender!"

A deputy general looked at Li Shanxiao's cavalry who charged out again, as well as the 50,000 soldiers led by Sun Zizai. They were completely at a disadvantage and had no chance of winning.

"I heard that the King of Zhenguo is very tolerant towards the surrendered soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty. We can continue to be loyal to the court." The deputy continued to persuade.

scoff!

Luo Mingda's fifth-grade junior grandmaster's cultivation burst out, and he suddenly drew the sword from his waist and chopped off the deputy general's head who was speaking with a whoosh.

"I have been deeply touched by the kindness of King Nanyu, and I will never betray him in this life. Anyone who talks about surrender will be killed without mercy!" Luo Mingda looked at the more than 30,000 soldiers still alive behind him with a determined look: "Everyone, follow me to fight our way out of the encirclement. As long as we retreat to Jiantong City, the enemy will have no way to deal with us!"

"Kill!"

After Luo Mingda killed the deputy general, the demoralized morale of the many soldiers behind him solidified again, and they rushed out towards Jiantong City.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and Li Shanxiao led the cavalry and rushed towards Luo Mingda. The goal was to capture the enemy and their leader. As long as Luo Mingda was killed, the enemy's morale would inevitably collapse.

When Sun Zizai and Ge Qing saw the direction in which Li Shanxiao was charging, they understood what he meant and immediately mobilized their troops to frantically attack the surrounding enemy forces in order to tie down the enemy forces for Li Shanxiao and prevent them from supporting Luo Mingda.

"General Luo, retreat quickly. The cavalry is coming for you." A deputy general followed Luo Mingda. After giving an order, he led nearly 10,000 soldiers behind him to resist Li Shanxiao. He wanted to cover Luo Mingda's retreat to Jiantong City.

"Go away!"

Li Shanxiao roared, his horse's hoof jumped high, and he swept out with his hook-and-sickle spear, causing dozens of soldiers to fall to the ground. He rushed forward very quickly and attacked the deputy general who was covering Luo Mingda's retreat. The deputy general, who was only a first-grade junior grandmaster, was pierced through the chest by Li Shanxiao's hook-and-sickle spear. He fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

Luo Mingda had just rushed out a few hundred meters with the guards around him, and just a moment later, he heard the sound of approaching horse hooves.

He gritted his teeth, grasped the sword in his hand, and looked at the guards around him: "Brothers, let us die here together today!"

"kill!"

He knew that continuing to flee would only lead to a worse defeat, so he simply stopped fleeing and took the remaining guards and soldiers to charge towards the cavalry that was attacking Li Shanxiao.

Morale instantly rose, and the army charged even harder when faced with the threat of death. The remaining soldiers fought back and resisted frantically.

"This King Nanyu is quite capable, and the generals under him are all very loyal!" Sun Zizai had attacked Yuling City before, and the defending general Zhou Erda would rather die than surrender.

Luo Mingda was also like this now. He knew that he would die today, but he led many soldiers to fight desperately. As a result, thousands of his 50,000 soldiers were killed or injured, which was a heavy loss.

Even the cavalry led by Li Shanxiao, of the 3,000 black-armored cavalry, suffered dozens of casualties. However, the 2,000 cavalry led by Duan Peng and Lao Xu, led by Lady Xinling, suffered quite a lot of casualties. I'm afraid that nearly 300 of them were killed in battle.

"Die!"

Li Shanxiao rode his warhorse and charged in front of Luo Mingda. With a loud roar, his cultivation at the peak of the first-grade grandmaster level burst out, and his sickle spear emitted a cold light.

The tip of the gun swept past Luo Mingda's body, and the sword in his hand made a cracking sound and broke into two pieces after just one collision.

scoff!

Li Shanxiao's hook-and-sickle spear swept out again, and along with the power of the warhorse's charge, the void became distorted. Luo Mingda's face was full of ferocity, and he wanted to dodge, but the hook-and-sickle of the spear suddenly pierced his chest from the back, carrying him flying and hitting him heavily on the ground.

Blood came out of his mouth. He really didn't understand how Ye Feng could have been so worthy to be able to recruit a grandmaster and have him willingly serve as a general.

"You are a great master... why are you willing to be a cavalry general?" Luo Mingda's voice was weak and intermittent, his eyes fixed on Li Shanxiao who was riding a warhorse in front of him.

"You are a bunch of frogs in a well, how can you know how powerful the master is?"

Li Shanxiao shook his head with disdain.

Luo Mingda's body curled up slightly and he died in battle.

Seeing Luo Mingda's death, the more than 10,000 surviving soldiers no longer had any will to fight. They knelt on the ground, dropped their weapons and announced their surrender.

"Take down Jiantong City in one go and go to Yuling City to report to the King of Zhenguo immediately!" When Sun Zizai saw Luo Mingda being beheaded, he gave an order and the army rushed towards Jiantong City.

There were not many defenders in Jiantong City, and especially after knowing that Luo Mingda had died in the battle, the city gates were opened with a bang, and Jiantong City was captured very smoothly.

……

Nanyu Palace!

Zhao Pengju sat in the main seat, wearing armor. On both sides sat his advisers and four generals led by Zhu Hua, all of whom were ready to go.

"I have received accurate information. Ye Feng has completely broken the defenses of the two cities and two counties. It is meaningless to continue to deal with him. I have decided to mobilize all the troops and station them in Hankou. We must first seize the favorable terrain, deploy troops in advance, and fight him. The outcome will be decided in one battle!"

The powerful voice resounded throughout the hall. Generals Zhu Hua and others stood up upon hearing the words. Their auras were faintly visible: "Your Highness, we can't wait to have a big fight with Ye Feng. We also want to see how powerful he is and how he can win so many battles in a row!"

"Hahaha……"

Zhao Pengju laughed loudly and looked at everyone: "I have been fortunate enough to be in charge of Nanyu County for decades, thanks to your assistance. If I fight with Ye Feng and I win, you and I will all be brothers who share weal and woe. If I seize the Song Dynasty in the future, you can all be crowned kings!"

Zhu Hua and other soldiers were so excited that their blood boiled. They said in unison: "We swear to follow the prince until death. Even if we die on the battlefield, we will never retreat a single step!"

"Brothers, do it!"

Zhao Pengju was indeed a veteran who had experienced many battles. He was first-rate in mobilizing the fighting spirit of his generals. He saw that there was a bowl of strong liquor beside each person. He took the lead in lifting the strong liquor in the bowl, raised the cup to everyone with one hand, and raised his head to swallow the strong liquor into his throat.

Generals Zhu Hua also quickly swallowed the liquor and felt their blood boiling. As Zhao Pengju threw the empty bowl hard on the ground with a crackling sound, all the generals and counselors also smashed their empty bowls hard on the ground, showing that they shared the same hatred for the enemy.

"Let's go, reorganize the army, and get to Hankou ahead of time." Zhao Pengju, wearing armor, strode out of the hall. He had to distribute the army in his hands appropriately so that he could deploy them in an orderly manner in the next battle and finally defeat Ye Feng.

All the generals and counselors followed Zhao Pengju out of the hall, their expressions filled with a willingness to fight.
