Chapter 243 Let's start with you, Wu Yunzhao.
Chapter 243 Let's start with you, Wu Yunzhao.
Luo Cheng abandoned Wu Yunzhao, yanked the reins sharply, turned his horse around, and rode away.
His actions, though seemingly a hasty retreat, actually concealed a deadly intent.
If Wu Yunzhao dared to pursue, he would surely catch him off guard and stab him off his horse with a single spear thrust, thus avenging his previous defeat.
However, as Lü Xiao's figure appeared at the front of the formation, everyone's attention was drawn to that crimson figure.
An invisible pressure, as tangible as a physical force, swept over the entire battlefield.
The warhorses beneath the rebel kings began to stir restlessly, pawing the ground and snorting.
The rebel kings calmed their warhorses while keeping their eyes fixed on the figure approaching from afar.
Everyone held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly.
Legend has it that Lü Xiao was the greatest war god of the Sui Dynasty, possessing unparalleled martial prowess and no equal in the world.
I've heard the rumors countless times, but they're still just rumors.
Now, they are finally going to see for themselves whether the rumors are true or false.
"Son-in-law, you cannot defeat him by force."
To prevent Wu Yunzhao from making any mistakes, Li Zitong quickly reminded him, his voice full of worry.
Wu Yunzhao was his most trusted general and also his son-in-law. He didn't want anything to happen to Wu Yunzhao.
"Um."
Wu Yunzhao nodded, raised his hand and gently patted the restless warhorse beneath him to soothe its emotions.
He knew Lü Xiao was formidable, but this battle was unavoidable.
After all, he had just defeated Luo Cheng and was in high spirits.
If he were to retreat in fear upon seeing Lü Xiao engage in battle, it would certainly affect the morale of the entire army and cause those rebel kings and soldiers to look down on him.
He had to go into battle, even if he was outmatched, he had to fight with all his might.
"Old Yu, let's get ready to run away."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes darted around, scanning the surroundings, already having already decided on his next move.
With Lü Xiao personally taking to the field, the outcome of this battle is practically a foregone conclusion.
These spies should also prepare to leave.
"it is good."
You Junda nodded, glancing around as he spoke to choose a suitable escape route.
"Gentlemen!" At this moment, Xu Maogong raised his feather fan and gave a loud and urgent order to the rebel kings around him.
"The imperial army is no match for us! Charge together, overwhelm them with sheer numbers!"
In today's battle, we absolutely cannot allow Wu Yunzhao to fight Lü Xiao one-on-one.
Xu Maogong knew all too well Lü Xiao's martial prowess; he was someone who could take the head of a general from among ten thousand soldiers as easily as taking something out of a bag.
When it comes to fighting alone, no one can match him.
Only by swarming in and using sheer numbers can we have a chance of winning!
"Kill! Charge in!"
Du Fuwei was the first to respond to Xu Maogong, and he greatly admired Xu Maogong's wisdom and strategy.
Without hesitation, he ordered his generals to charge into battle.
"Go quickly and lend Yun Zhao a hand!"
Li Zitong also shouted loudly to the general beside him.
He was also worried about Wu Yunzhao facing Lü Xiao alone, so it would be safer for them to swarm him.
"Hey! Hey!" Cheng Yaojin looked around anxiously, slapping his thigh repeatedly. "I haven't given the order yet! Why aren't you obeying?"
These bastards are so disobedient!
He was supposed to be the leader of the alliance, commanding the three armies, but what happened?
When it comes to crucial moments, they all treat him like he doesn't exist.
"Old Cheng, what should we do?"
Seeing that the generals under the various rebel kings were rushing out and swarming towards Lü Xiao, You Junda was at a loss for what to do.
This is too chaotic.
"Let him run!" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, then added, "Oh, and keep an eye on Xu Maogong, don't let him get away! That's a big fish!"
He was powerless to help Lü Xiao, but if he could capture Xu Maogong in this chaotic battle, it would be a great help to Lü Xiao.
"Damn it! No sportsmanship at all!"
Yuwen Chenglong, who was originally watching the battle, saw the rebel generals swarm forward, dozens of them rushing towards Lü Xiao alone, and immediately cursed angrily.
"Smashing the class?"
Ao Yu gripped the long-handled golden mace in his hand, somewhat at a loss, unsure whether he should rush forward to help.
"Should we go help the prince?"
Upon seeing this, the general from Jiangdu hurriedly asked, sweating profusely with anxiety.
If something happens to Lü Xiao, they can't afford to take the responsibility.
"Ignore it!" Yuwen Chenglong raised his hand, decisively stopping the Jiang general who was about to go into battle, his eyes fixed on the battlefield. "Your Highness is well-informed!"
He had followed Lü Xiao for many years and knew Lü Xiao's temperament well.
Lu Xiao never fights unprepared battles. Since he dares to charge forward alone, he must have something to be confident about.
Rushing in rashly might only cause more trouble.
Faced with the swarm of rebel generals, Lü Xiao did not retreat an inch, but continued to charge forward at his own pace, his momentum even stronger.
That crimson figure, like a burning flame, crashed straight into the dark mass of people.
Xu Maogong is a very shrewd fellow.
Knowing Wu Yunzhao's abilities, they also knew how formidable Lü Xiao was.
Meanwhile, Wu Yunzhao's victory over Luo Cheng was already a small victory for the rebel soldiers, and their morale was high.
Now, he has ordered the entire army to advance, which can be considered a decisive battle at the height of his momentum.
They're really calculating things.
"kill!"
Lu Xiao roared, his voice like thunder, making the eardrums of the surrounding rebel soldiers ache.
He yanked the reins sharply, and the Red Hare let out a long neigh, its four hooves suddenly exerting force, and it leaped into the air, soaring several feet into the air!
Wu Yunzhao looked up and watched as the figure in the air, carrying immense force, fell towards the area with the largest crowd.
"spread!"
However, the surroundings were chaotic, with people rushing up, shouts of battle deafening, and the sound of horses' hooves thundering. How could anyone hear his voice clearly?
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the steed Red Hare crashed into the crowd from mid-air.
Several rebel generals who were unable to dodge were instantly killed by the enormous impact, their bones broken and their flesh mangled.
"Let's start with you!"
Lu Xiao grabbed the Wufang Fangtian Halberd and swung it violently left and right.
With each swing of his heavy halberd, several people were cut in two, blood splattering and screams filling the air.
The Red Hare began to gallop wildly, charging straight towards Wu Yunzhao's location.
The divine steed thrashed about on all fours, its momentum unstoppable.
Rumble!
In an instant, the rebel generals and soldiers who were blocking the way were all knocked away.
"This..." Wu Yunzhao was stunned when he saw this scene, his eyes glazed over.
Besides shock, he was suddenly gripped by an unprecedented fear.
This is hardly the image of a military general!
This is clearly a war chariot, a killing god, a humanoid beast!
It charged wildly, and no one could stop it! Anyone who tried to stop it would die!
"Yun Zhao, watch out!"
