"We're doomed!"
Seeing this, a bitter look flashed in Nishu's eyes.
They thought that 100,000 men could block the enemy's path and prevent them from clearing the stones, but they never expected the enemy's military formation to be so formidable that they actually withstood the attack.
He gritted his teeth and said, "With only 20,000 men suppressing my 100,000-strong army, this formation is truly terrifying. This is a huge problem!"
Without those collapsed stones blocking the way, it won't just be infantry that can charge in; cavalry will also be able to attack.
Compared to infantry, cavalry is much more aggressive, and the consequences of being overtaken by them are unimaginable!
really!
After the rear route was cleared, the once impenetrable Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram suddenly cracked open, and a cavalry force rushed out from within, heading straight for Lan Zhan.
The leader was none other than the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, currently commanded by Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong. They broke through the formation and headed straight for Lan Zhan.
Behind them were Zhang He, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and others. These Five Elite Generals were not just famous for nothing; their fighting prowess was extremely ferocious.
Their addition made the already formidable Tiger and Leopard Cavalry even more terrifying.
Xu Huang, with his sharp eyes, instantly locked onto the enemy general. He charged forward, wielding his large axe, roaring, "You pretty boy, prepare to die! Take this from your grandpa!"
Among the Five Elite Generals, he may not be the strongest in combat, but not everyone can withstand his flying axe strike.
Lan Zhan reacted and instinctively blocked the axe with his sword, but he underestimated the force of the blow. He was sent flying and fell off his horse.
Holy crap!
Lan Zhan was completely stunned. How could an unknown nobody defeat him so easily? This was just too outrageous.
His expression immediately changed, because he saw Xu Huang heading straight for him.
"Protect the general!"
His personal guards rushed forward to protect him, but just as they were about to block Xu Huang, they saw a Five Tigers Soul-Severing Spear sweep past, and Zhang He had already charged straight at them.
Pfft!
With a sweep of the spear tip, a whole row of guards fell instantly, and the enemies behind them charged straight in.
"Not good!"
Upon seeing this scene, Lan Zhan's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to get up, a beam of axe light pierced through the air.
puff!
Lan Zhan's body stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.
Xu Huang's large axe was stuck in his chest; he had been killed by Xu Huang from a distance with a single flying axe.
Xu Huang snorted coldly, took the axe directly from the corpse, and sneered, "You think you can stop the Great Liang? You're dreaming!"
They removed their axes beforehand and continued fighting.
"The general has fallen in battle!"
When the others saw that more enemies were coming from behind, and that Lan Zhan was dead, their morale began to waver.
Even though some subordinate generals attempted to suppress them, their efforts were ultimately thwarted by the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Seeing this scene from afar, Lin Rusong couldn't help but beam with joy and exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, this Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram is indeed powerful; even 100,000 men couldn't do anything to it!"
"And these young warriors my son gave me are quite good too; they look very fierce."
This Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram did not disappoint; it was practically an impenetrable fortress. Even with nearly five times the number of enemies, it couldn't be broken through.
This defense is absolutely amazing.
And these people my son gave me, though they were all unknown, turned out to be incredibly skilled fighters. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
Once it's inside, Nishu won't be able to stop it anymore.
Forehead!
Wang Yue's lips twitched, but he didn't say much. He just couldn't help but mutter, "The Emperor Emeritus, the Emperor has really worried himself sick over you."
What do you mean by "a few junior officers"? Any one of these officers could be a great general, and you've given six of them at once. It would be strange if they weren't fierce!
Although Zhang He and his men did not achieve great success, their names were recorded in the Net, indicating they were definitely capable of becoming great generals.
The Emperor has now placed them under the command of the Retired Emperor, which is undoubtedly a well-intentioned move. He is worried that the Retired Emperor's subordinates are all getting old and there is no one left to use.
Bai Zizai couldn't help but feel his blood boil, excitedly saying, "Old Lin, I'm going too! Now that the breach has been opened, the real battle is about to begin!"
"Go ahead!" Lin Rusong nodded, agreeing immediately.
Nishu still has a million men under his Nishu, so he naturally cannot easily admit defeat. Even if he loses some men, they will quickly make up for it.
This great battle is inevitable.
Bai Zizai laughed heartily and declared loudly, "Brothers, today we will show the Emperor the might of Northern Liang, enough to expand his territory and be second to none!"
"Kill!"
Those who block my way shall die!
The Imperial Palace of Great Liang!
Lin Yi has been very busy lately, busy looking at beautiful women, and in a perfectly legitimate way, he can't help but look.
The woman before me possessed a gentle and refined demeanor, with beautiful and dignified features, and her eyes were charming and alluring—a typical beauty from the Jiangnan region.
Name: Zhang Yuehua
"Born into the Zhang Clan in the southwest, she is five feet two inches tall, with a beautiful face, large breasts like melons, and is a virgin..." the old nanny said solemnly.
Cough cough!
Lin Yi's lips twitched. What the hell, breasts as big as melons? This old woman's description was too apt; they really were two big melons.
"Your Majesty, this woman has a graceful figure and elegant manners; she should be allowed to enter the harem!" Cai Yan said earnestly, sitting next to Lin Yi.
Li Mingzhu nodded slightly and smiled, " Zhang Yuehua is from a prominent family. She has been well-versed in literature since childhood, and her temperament is also excellent."
Neither woman was prone to jealousy; they knew they couldn't monopolize the Emperor's favor, as his status meant he belonged to All Under Heaven people.
Lin Yi nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's give her a chance. Besides, she's a member of the Zhang Clan."
These aristocratic families have been performing well lately, so I can't just suppress them all the time. I need to give them a little something in return for a slap, so they'll be more motivated.
Aristocratic families with something to strive for are incredibly powerful in combat. Just like when they risked their lives to remonstrate in the palace, their spirit was no joke.
With such enthusiasm, the development of Southern Liang will surely be a resounding success, and we will likely see it soon.
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass!
Seeing Lin Yi nod, Zhang Yuehua's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she excitedly said, " Yuehua thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness. Yuehua will certainly serve you well."
"It's alright, we're all family," Lin Yi waved his hand and said with a smile.
Now that the decision had been made to bring her into the harem, he naturally didn't need to put on airs anymore; frankly, she would be one of his own from now on.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuehua's heart pounded, and her beautiful face flushed crimson. Had the Emperor taken a liking to her?
