Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 719 Du Xue – When foes meet on a narrow path, the brave shall prevail! [1st Update]

Hedging?

Cai Fuxi was overjoyed:

I love it the most!

Pointing his broadsword at the Liao army, Cai Fu roared with the thunderous roar of tigers and leopards:
"Da-Qi-"

With as many as 85,000 cavalrymen spread out in a vast formation, Cai Fu's voice could not possibly reach everyone's ears.

So after Cai Fu roared out that thunderous roar, the "Four Little Tigers," "Six Sons of Yelü," Qin Ming, and Hua Rong surrounding him shouted in unison:
"Da-Qi-"

Centered around them, the five thousand Blood Dragon Riders guarding Cai Fu shouted in unison:
"Da-Qi-"

This shout was truly earth-shattering, finally reaching all of the Qi army, and so all the Qi soldiers shouted in unison:
"Invincible!"

Cai Fu shouted again: "Da-Qi-!"

Since Cai Fu had already set the pace, the five thousand Blood Dragon Riders shouted in unison, as if they had rehearsed it:
"Da-Qi-"

The 80,000 cavalrymen followed suit in perfect unison, unleashing a deafening shout:

"Invincible—Invincible—Invincible—"

The roar was deafening!
"hiss--"

Wu Yanguang couldn't help but gasp for breath:
This morale, this cohesion, is a bit domineering!

Wuyan Guang was also a veteran general who had fought in many battles. How could he not see the fighting power of the Qi army?

Even before they had officially clashed, the Qi army had already completely overwhelmed the Liao army in terms of morale...

It should be noted that the Liao army under Wuyan Guang was originally a group of defeated and remnant soldiers, only good at bullying Song soldiers.

However, even Wuyan Guang himself was not confident when facing such elite troops and powerful generals as the Qi army...

That does not work!

Wuyan Guang decisively used his usual method to boost morale, pointing his halberd at the Qi army and shouting:

"Kill one person! Reward one string of cash!"
"Kill one general! Reward him with a hundred strings of cash!"
"Kill the King of Qi, and you will be rewarded with ten thousand strings of cash and promoted to commander of ten thousand men!"

As the saying goes, people die for wealth and birds die for food; this method is the simplest, most direct, and most effective.

Wuyan Guang immediately boosted the morale of the Liao army around him, and they looked at the Qi army as if they were looking at a string of coins...

The reason he was surrounded by Liao troops was mainly because the Qi army's influence was too great.

Wave after wave crashed down, like a landslide or a tidal wave, and Wuyan Guang's voice could not be heard at all.

In contrast, Cai Fu didn't need to use any fancy methods to boost morale.

Because the rewards for military achievements in the State of Qi were always clearly stated.

The reason why the Qi army had such high morale was not only because Cai Fu had the personal charisma to rival Liu Bei, but also because they rewarded merit and had a clear system of rewards and punishments!

Even if Han Shizhong, Cai Fu's sworn brother, didn't have any military achievements, he shouldn't expect to be in a high position right away.

Even brothers-in-law like "Yelü Liuzi," who joined the group through nepotism or financial connections, had to start as protectors of Cai Fu!
Therefore, Cai Fu did not need to resort to last-minute morale-boosting measures like Wuyan Guang's.

"kill--"

At a distance of no more than thirty paces, Cai Fu could already clearly see the ferocious faces of the Liao soldiers opposite him.

With a loud roar, Cai Fu raised the Po Feng broadsword in his hand!

"kill--"

The 85,000 Qi soldiers roared in unison, which was like a sonic attack that made the Liao army fearful!

"Mom!"

Emperor Gaozong of Song, who was watching the battle from the city gate tower, couldn't help but clutch his chest, his face turning deathly pale with fright!
Fortunately, he was still holding onto Cai Jing's arm, and Cai Jing caught him, otherwise he would have collapsed to the ground!
At fifteen years old, he had never experienced such a grand occasion before, and his heart was pounding in his throat! In fact, not only him, but even Cai Jing was flustered; he had never seen anything like this before!
Cai Fu's 85,000 cavalry, plus Wuyan Guang's 50,000 cavalry, amounted to a combined force of over 100,000 cavalry...

"boom--"

The Qi army and the Liao army collided heavily like two surging torrents, creating towering waves!

There were no fancy formations or ingenious schemes; it was simply a matter of counter-attack!
The most brutal form of hedging!
A battle of iron and blood!
This is destined to be a tough battle, and it is also a major training exercise in Cai Fu's plan!
He wants to train a mighty and indomitable army that dares to fight tough battles and win victories!

Then, with this invincible army, we will sweep across the world!
"Pfft!"

Cai Fu swung his broadsword and with a fierce blow, cut down a Liao soldier who was coming towards him!
With overwhelming momentum and unparalleled power!
But he was quickly left behind by his four adopted sons.

Yang Zaixing, Yu Hualong, Gao Chong, and He Yuanqing rushed ahead of him and helped him screen the candidates first, leaving him with only a few who had slipped through the net...

Cai Fu was deeply moved. Indeed, when fighting tigers, you need brothers; when going into battle, you need fathers and sons to fight together!

Besides the "Four Little Biaos," he also had the "Six Sons of Yelü," Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Li Shufu, Fang Jie, and others by his side...

This made Cai Fu realize that sometimes having too much "unmatched bravery" isn't a good thing.

I don't even have a chance to show off, it's so annoying!
In contrast, Wuyan Guang was in a much worse situation, as he ran into Du Xue, the "Nine-Headed Lion," amidst the chaos of battle!
Wuyan Guang's strength is actually a mystery.

To preserve his prestige and prevent him from losing too badly, Master Shi specially arranged for Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, and Zhang Qing to fight him three-on-one.

It started with Wuyan Guang and Guan Sheng fighting one-on-one, without specifying the exact number of rounds.

It is said that Zhang Qing used flying stones to drive away all of Wuyan Guang's generals. Seeing that he had lost his support, Wuyan Guang turned his horse and left.

Hua Rong's arrow struck Wuyan Guang squarely in the back of the heart, hitting the breastplate.

Guan Sheng caught up with Wu Yan Guang and slashed with his Green Dragon Crescent Blade, but it only managed to cut through two layers of armor.

It turned out that Wuyan Guang was wearing three layers of armor.

Inside was a layer of interlocking iron armor, in the middle a layer of sea beast hide armor, and on the outside was a layer of chainmail gold armor.

When Guan Sheng swung his sword again, Wu Yanguang flashed past and fought Guan Sheng for another three or five rounds.

As a result, Hua Rong disregarded martial ethics and shot another arrow at Wuyan Guang's face.

Wu Yanguang flicked his face, and the arrow struck his ear.

Wuyan Guang hurriedly fled, and Zhang Qing hit him in the face with another stone.

Guan Sheng caught up and slashed again, finally cutting Wuyan Guang off his horse.

Finally, Zhang Qing caught up and stabbed him to death.

Master Shi really gave him a lot of face by killing one of his men with one tiger and two cavalrymen.

However, Zhang Qing and Hua Rong's roles overlapped, so removing one of them wouldn't affect the overall battle.

Even if Guan Sheng fought Wuyan Guang one-on-one, he might not necessarily lose.

This time, without Hua Rong and Zhang Qing's help, Wuyan Guang unfortunately encountered Du Xue, who was even more ruthless than Guan Sheng...

Although Wuyan Guang's strength cannot be discerned from his battle record, it is clear that he is afraid of death, very afraid of dying.

why?
Because he was wearing three layers of armor!

He ran away because he no longer had wings!

Because he fled twice during his battle with Guan Sheng!
This is scorpion poop throughout the entire Water Margin, a poisonous dung!

As the saying goes, when two armies meet on a narrow road, the brave will prevail. Wuyan Guang was afraid of death, so how could he possibly defeat Du Xue, a brave man?
After only three or five exchanges, Wuyan Guang panicked. He had never encountered such a peerless warrior as Du Xue in the Liao Kingdom!
He had a bad feeling that if he continued to fight Du Xue, he would be defeated in at most twenty rounds!

So, fearing for his life, Wuyan Guang seized the opportunity without hesitation and rode away...
