While Ye Chen was inspecting Wang Yu's talents, a grand decisive battle was about to begin on the northern border thousands of miles away from Hongwu City.
The early morning sunlight spreads over the land, with endless wild grasses swaying in the wind, and wisps of smoke rising from several looming villages.
On a wilderness covered with wild grass, two huge phalanxes faced each other thousands of meters apart.
Soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons were constantly wiping the sharp weapons in their hands to soothe their restless hearts. From time to time they looked towards another huge phalanx thousands of meters away, secretly hoping that they could
Survive the coming war.
"Marshal, the time is not yet ripe for a decisive battle, why should we fight with the opponent now?"
A young man in white looked at the resolute Lu Jian with an angry expression and asked loudly.
"Xiaofang, the people in the imperial capital have started to snitch on me. His Majesty the King has also issued eighteen edicts in succession, asking me to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foundation to start a decisive battle with the opponent! If I continue to defy the king
Your Majesty’s decree is that not only will the lives of my people in the imperial capital be at risk, but a marshal will also be re-appointed to lead Wu’s million-strong army to start a decisive battle with the other side!”
Hearing the questioning voice of the boy in white, Lu Jian replied bitterly.
"The traitorous officials are harming the country! The traitors are harming the country!"
Hearing Lu Jian's bitter answer, the boy in white yelled with an angry look on his face.
"Xiaofang, things have reached this point. No matter what we are talking about, it is of no use! Now, we must think about how to win the decisive battle!"
Seeing the boy in white yelling with anger, Lu Jian took a deep breath and said with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Marshal, it's not like you don't know the current situation. The other party not only has three million well-trained troops, but also has the support of one million elite troops from Yan, Zhao, Hong and the Three Kingdoms. However, we only have local troops accounting for half of the million troops.
, the two sides are not at the same level at all, and the difference in strength is too big. In a head-on confrontation, there is no room for tactics! You can only go head-to-head with the opponent and have a duel of blood and courage!"
After hearing Lu Jian's words, the young man in white took a deep breath, vented the negative emotions in his heart, and pondered for a while.
"In that case, let's have a showdown of courage and blood with each other!"
Seeing the boy in white, there was nothing he could do. Lu Jian closed his eyes helplessly and said.
Seeing Lu Jian's helpless look and the look of despair flashing in his eyes, the young man in white was moved in his heart, his face changed drastically, he looked at Lu Jian with horrified eyes and said: "Marshal! You don't plan to fight to the end!"
Hearing the words of the young man in white, Lu Jian opened his closed eyes, sighed and said: "Xiaofang, your Majesty's will is very clear. We will win this battle. If we fail, I will bear all the responsibilities. My people
I will be implicated and mercilessly executed! Therefore, I can only fight to the death in this battle and die on the battlefield, so that my people will not be implicated by me and can save a life!"
As soon as Lu Jian finished his voice, the young man in white said with an angry look: "Are all the top officials of the Wu Kingdom pigs? Don't they know that after you die, the million-strong army you command will collapse! Without this last
Will the millions of troops and forces from all sides that have been dormant for a long time appear in full force and plunge the entire Wu Kingdom into turmoil?"
Hearing the words of the young man in white, Lu Jian sighed helplessly and said: "Xiaofang, maybe the big people in the upper class think about things differently from us! In their eyes, we and the people of Wu Kingdom are all capable.
The chess pieces that are discarded arbitrarily, whoever harms their interests will become a thorn in their side, and they will find ways to destroy them at all costs!
I now command an army of millions, and with the prestige I have above, as long as I wave my arms, there will be as many responders as there are clouds in the sky! They are afraid that I will win, and that my prestige among the people will increase again, so that
It affects their status, so they want to use Hadas's hand to completely eradicate me."
Hearing Lu Jian's helpless words, the young man in white hesitated for a while and then said slowly: "Marshal, since the upper echelons of the Wu Kingdom have betrayed you, there is no need for you to be loyal to them. With your prestige now, you can do it."
Take control of this million-strong army, occupy a large area of the Wu Kingdom, and make yourself king."
As soon as the boy in white finished his voice, Lu Jian refused without hesitation: "Xiaofang, I can't do that! Once I do that! My parents, wife, children, and my people will be mercilessly executed! I
You cannot allow my father, wife, children, and my people to be mercilessly executed just because of me!"
Hearing Lu Jian's words, the boy in white sighed softly, shook his head helplessly and said: "Marshal, why are you doing this!"
"Okay, Xiaofang, the war is about to begin, so don't say so much! This time, I don't need you to make plans for this battle. I just need to have a head-on confrontation with the opponent, a collision of blood and flesh! That's it!
Yes, I will send someone to take you out of here, and I will leave my family and tribe to you!"
Seeing what the young man in white wanted to say, Lu Jian's eyes flashed with determination, and he stared at the young man in white with sharp eyes.
"Marshal! I am willing to stay and fight alongside you!"
Hearing Lu Jian's words, the boy in white felt warm in his heart, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
"Xiaofang, you are still very young and have a bright future waiting for you. You must die with me!"
After hearing the words of the young man in white and seeing the firmness flashing in his eyes, Lu Jian's eyes flashed with relief.
After saying that, Lu Jian didn't wait for the boy in white to reply, and struck out like lightning, knocking him out and holding him in his arms.
Lu Jian glanced at the fainted young man in white, sighed softly, clapped his hands, summoned two personal guards to his side, and said with a solemn expression: "Send Xiaofang back to the imperial capital safely.
At the same time, you will follow Xiaofang from now on to protect his safety! With his intelligence and talent, his future achievements are limitless, so if you follow him, you will not be wronged!"
After hearing Lu Jian's words, the two personal guards who were summoned took a deep look at the young man in white who fainted, and solemnly assured him: "Marshal! Don't worry, we will definitely protect Xiaofang."
Master’s safety!”
After receiving the assurance from the two personal guards, Lu Jian nodded lightly, handed the boy in white into the hands of a guard and said: "The war is about to begin, you should get out of here quickly!"
"Marshal, take care!"
Hearing Lu Jian's words, the two guards did not hesitate at all. They bowed respectfully to Lu Jian and led the young man in white away from the dense square formation, away from the battlefield, and galloped towards the imperial capital of Wu Kingdom.
When the back of the young man in white slowly disappeared from Lu Jian's sight, Lu Jian straightened his clothes, rose into the air, suspended above the millions of troops, and quietly looked at the enemy formation thousands of miles away.
.
Lu Jian's action was like a signal. As soon as he ascended into the sky, he saw figures jumping out from the army, ascending into the sky, quietly suspended behind him, waiting for his orders, and
The millions of troops under him, urged by the shouts and orders of commanders at all levels, stopped wiping their weapons, stopped their bodies, looked ahead, and quietly waited for the order to charge.
At the same time, silhouettes of people emerged from the huge phalanx opposite Lu Jian, rising into the sky and floating quietly above the huge phalanx. They opened their sharp eyes and stared at thousands of people.
Lu Jian meters away.
In a matter of seconds, millions of troops from both sides were ready to charge. With sharp weapons in their hands, they were waiting for the order to charge. A bloody showdown involving millions of people was about to begin, a bloody battle.
The battle of courage is about to begin.
Seeing that his own army was ready to charge, Lu Jian pulled out a sharp weapon from his waist and roared: "Kill!"
With the word 'kill' uttered, Lu Jian turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards the enemy thousands of meters away. The more than a hundred saint-level warriors behind him did not hesitate at all. They roared and pulled out their weapons.
The sharp weapons on his body rushed towards the enemy holy warriors thousands of meters away.
The millions of troops under Lu Jian were not idle either. After he rushed out, they followed the sound of shocking drums and let out a killing cry that resounded throughout the world. They clenched the sharp weapons in their hands.
, marching vigorously and under the leadership of commanders at all levels, they rushed toward a place thousands of meters away.
At the same time, the three million troops under Hadas and the one million troops from the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Hong also roared and, under the leadership of commanders at all levels, divided into three huge square formations and waved
With the sharp weapons in his hands, he charged towards the millions of troops under Lu Jian's command.
Suddenly, millions of people's shouts of killing went straight into the sky, scattering countless wandering white clouds, startling the birds and animals within a radius of more than ten miles, making them bewildered, and running around like the end of the world.
The working people in the nearby villages were so alarmed that they involuntarily put down their work and looked towards the direction of the battlefield.
The speed of the holy warriors was so fast. In the blink of an eye, Lu Jian crossed the distance of several thousand meters and approached the group of holy warriors under Hadas. He stirred up the endless fighting spirit in his body and waved the sharp weapon in his hand.
He greeted an approaching holy warrior and left.
Facing Lu Jian's ferocious attack, the saint-level warrior who came forward did not change his expression. The black spear in his hand stabbed out quickly and turned into a black dragon. He met the sharp sword in Lu Jian's hand and flew with it in mid-air.
When they met, they made a crisp sound of metal collision.
With the first collision between the black spear and the sharp sword, Lu Jian and the holy warrior who came forward continued to activate the fighting spirit in their bodies, and kept flashing their bodies, leaving afterimages in the air.
He kept waving the sharp weapons in his hands, causing them to collide in mid-air, making a crisp sound of metal collision, sparking bright sparks, and forming a different kind of scenery in the air.
On the grassy wilderness, millions of soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp weapons quickly approached and collided with each other. There were fierce shouts, angry shouts of killing, the crisp sound of metal collision, and the tragic scene before death.
The screams, the roaring collision of fighting spirit magic, are intertwined with each other to form the main theme of a war.
Looking at the mangled corpses all over the ground, the broken armor, weapons and flags scattered on the blood-red grassland, as well as the fleeing soldiers and holy warriors of our own, their bodies were full of scars, and traces of bright red blood were constantly coming from everywhere.
Lu Jian, whose wounds were healed, knelt down on the grass with a look of helplessness.
"Marshal Lu Jian, surrender! As long as you are willing to surrender, I will immediately make you a marquis, grant you a large back cover, and give you a hundred thousand elite troops to command!"
Under the protection of several holy warriors, Hadas looked at Lu Jian expectantly and persuaded him to surrender.
"Surrender! Haha! There is no word surrender in my dictionary!"
Hearing Hadas' voice of persuasion to surrender, Lu Jian shook his head gently and encouraged the remaining fighting spirit in his body. He swung the half-broken sword in his hand, slashed his own throat, and fell to the ground dead.
Seeing a large amount of bright red blood flowing out from the sword marks on Lu Jian's neck, Hadas sighed softly, shrugged helplessly, and said to a holy warrior guarding his safety: "His fate
Let’s cremate him on the battlefield!”
After saying that, Hadas left the wild grass and wasteland without looking back, leaving part of the army to clean the battlefield and guard the northern border. With the main force, he galloped towards the imperial capital of Wu Kingdom where the last army had been lost.
And the saint-level warrior who was guarding his safety did not hesitate at all after he left. The magic power in his body moved slightly, and a hot fireball appeared out of thin air above his finger. Following the movement of his finger, it fell on Lu Jian.
On top of his body, he burned his body into ashes and scattered them in the wind.
With the defeat of the million-strong army commanded by Lu Jian, the entire Wu Kingdom was like a girl who had taken off her clothes, exposed under Hadas's soldiers, and allowed to be trampled by Hadas's army!
At the same time, the generals of the Western Provinces and Eastern Provinces General Club, who were on the sidelines, condemned the faults of the new King Hawang, and blamed the faults of Lu Jian's million-strong army on the Minister of Military Affairs, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and other important ministers of the Wu Kingdom.
, under the guise of eradicating adultery and desecrating the emperor.
With his fame, he led his army to raid the palaces of the Grand Duke of the East and the Grand Duke of the West, as well as officials at all levels in the Eastern and Western Provinces. He quickly brought the entire Eastern and Western Provinces under military control and dispatched
Part of the army marched towards the imperial capital of Wu Kingdom.
In a few days, the situation in the Wu Kingdom changed drastically. Hadas led his two million troops and the one million troops from the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, and Hong Kingdom. He easily attacked dozens of cities and came to the imperial capital of the Wu Kingdom.
However, the Imperial Capital of the Kingdom of Wu only hurriedly organized an 800,000-strong army to garrison the Imperial Capital, relying on the Imperial Capital's solid defense system to resist the 3 million-strong army led by Hadas.
