Words Strategize for the World

A stalemate cannot be broken unless it is broken.

When Fang Hao said those words, all 300-plus people had only one question: Why should we listen to you?

These soldiers who survived the flood were all men of unwavering will, formidable martial prowess, and rebellious spirit.

Now, a complete stranger is telling them what to do; the resistance they'll face is predictable. Besides, Fang Hao looks so young.

Fang Hao glanced back at the black dot representing the Ba Kingdom's army and noticed it had grown larger.

The army of the Hegemon Kingdom was rushing over, but these soldiers had no idea. Now it was too late to reason or explain.

Fang Hao had never thought of doing that.

Two fingers joined together, writing a dragon in mid-air.

The character "龙" transformed into a five-meter-long golden dragon, which roared in perfect unison.

"hold head high"

When the golden dragon appeared, the more than 300 people who had been making a ruckus were immediately stunned. Many soldiers who were talking loudly even forgot to shut their mouths.

Soon, the golden dragon crashed into the city wall next to it. After the impact, everyone felt the city wall tremble slightly.

These people were all elites in the military and had all seen the scholar fight, but they had never seen the scholar write in mid-air so closely and so clearly, and then a simple character was transformed into a living thing in a very magical way.

This is really incredible.

Fang Hao did not stop, but continued to write the character "刀" (knife) with even greater vigor.

After the knife appeared, Fang Hao pointed at the golden knife with two fingers and used his mind to control it to chop at the parapet.

"Zheng"

The golden knife penetrated the wall three inches deep.

The soldiers were even more shocked; it turned out he was a refined scholar, no wonder he was so young.

After everyone fell silent, Fang Hao pointed behind him, exasperated, and said, "Come and see! The Ba Kingdom's army is rapidly approaching, numbering at least ten thousand. I know you are all elites with formidable martial prowess, but how many can each of you take on?"

Silence fell over the room...

"Look at this city, which is like purgatory. Your brothers, sisters, relatives, and friends are all here. They died down here. Don't you want to avenge them?"

"think……"

As soon as he finished speaking, the more than 300 people who had been filled with grief and indignation roared in unison, their voices instantly drowning out Fang Hao's.

After things quieted down, Fang Hao took out the bronze plaque and said domineeringly and loudly, "I am Ya Shi, an envoy sent by the capital to support Liangjiang County. Now that Liangjiang County has been destroyed, I now order you to follow me, preserve your strength, and launch a counterattack against Ba Guo in the future. I will not allow you to die now, because we still have hatred for Ba Guo, and we must take revenge."

Having exceptional abilities is important, but so is winning people's hearts and minds. Therefore, a certain amount of deception is necessary; this is essential for being a good leader.

……

"Okay, we'll go with you, but you must take us to get revenge."

"Yes, I can go with you, but you must take revenge."

"Revenge, revenge..."

After a moment of silence, an extremely tall man took the lead in speaking, and then everyone started to move.

"The souls of the dead still linger beneath the city walls, awaiting the slaughter to avenge their blood feud. The Hegemon Kingdom has harmed so many innocent people of my Blazing Kingdom; this is unforgivable. This vengeance, you need not tell me, I will avenge myself."

After reaching a consensus, the more than 300 people quickly rallied, some packing up their weapons and others donning their armor.

After a short while, everything was ready and we were able to set off.

At this moment, Fang Hao was gazing at the distant army of the Hegemon Kingdom. The black dot was growing larger and larger, and it was already clear that it was the silhouette of the army.

Judging from its size, this army definitely numbers more than ten thousand. The exact number is impossible to guess at this point.

What should I do? Go back to Kyoto?

Facing war for the first time, and with so many troops, it would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid. But Fang Hao really didn't want to go back to Kyoto just like that.

This trip has been a complete failure, and he has even lost a talented general. He is unwilling to accept this.

"My lord, we've finished packing. What should we do now?"

"Alright, now that we're all packed up, let's leave."

Fang Hao didn't know where to go. The Ba Kingdom's army was so large that if he wasn't careful, he would be doomed.

It's always best to avoid it first.

Soon everyone began to descend the city wall. As they passed through the city, all 300-plus men were filled with tears, and some even burst into sobs again.

The breach in the city wall is now the only way out of the city. It is also the entrance to the flood, which has claimed the lives of everyone in the city.

Hopefully, such a tragic event will never happen again.

Fang Hao never wanted to see this hellish scene again.

Just as they were about to leave the city, a hurried voice suddenly rang out, "Look over there!"

Fang Hao looked up and saw a group of cavalrymen galloping towards Liangjiang County on the official road upstream of the Yunzi River, to the northwest of the breach.

This...this is the advance team?

Fang Hao was shocked. This was bad. If they chased after them, how could they possibly escape on two legs?

Forcing himself to calm down, Fang Hao carefully examined the rapidly approaching cavalry and found that there was still a considerable distance to go, and the enemy might not even have spotted them yet.

As long as they evacuate as soon as possible, they can still escape thanks to the hilly terrain.

Thinking of this, Fang Hao quickly said, "The vanguard of the Ba Kingdom's cavalry has arrived. Speed ​​up, we need to leave as soon as possible."

The breach in the city wall was not high above the ground. Upon learning that the vanguard of the Ba Kingdom's cavalry had arrived, everyone jumped down from the breach.

After descending from the city wall, Fang Hao, Lai Fengwu, and the remaining scouts rode south with over 300 soldiers. This was the direction of the capital, and also the only route for the Hegemon Kingdom.

Liangjiang County is surrounded by water on three sides. The army of the Ba Kingdom came from the northwest, and to reach Liangjiang County, they had to cross a bridge first. On the other side of the bridge was a flat area, and only then could they enter the city.

Fang Hao and his group, however, didn't need to cross the bridge. Once they left the city, it was just a short distance to enter the mountains. Everyone ran as hard as they could, but two legs could never outrun four.

I hadn't run far when I felt the ground shaking, and it was gradually getting stronger.

They've arrived. This army that brought annihilation to Liangjiang County has arrived. If they can't escape, the fate awaiting Fang Hao and his men is predictable.

Under pressure from the Hegemonic cavalry, everyone ran at their maximum speed. But that was all; the Hegemonic cavalry drew ever closer, soon reaching the bridge. At this distance, the Hegemonic army had undoubtedly already spotted Fang Hao and his group.

They were only hindered by the width of the bridge, otherwise they would have already attacked.

The bridge connecting the northwest to Liangjiang County was a stone bridge with limited width, allowing the Ba Kingdom cavalry to proceed in single file, which gave Fang Hao and his men more time.

However, their good fortune was short-lived. Before Fang Hao and his group could get far, the Ba Kingdom army, which had crossed the bridge first, leaped over Liangjiang County and charged towards them.

Although Fang Hao and his men were running as fast as they could, the Ba Kingdom's army was getting closer and closer.

The tremors of the horses' hooves grew stronger, and the "clatter..." of their hooves drew ever closer.

The vibrations and the sound of horses' hooves constantly agitated Fang Hao and his group. Sensing the ever-approaching killing intent, everyone wanted to run faster.

But human strength has its limits. After running for about a mile, everyone was out of breath and could no longer go any faster.

Fortunately, we were about to reach the mountainous area. At the end of the 200-meter-long official road, there were forests on both sides, and beyond the forests stretched a continuous mountain range.

As long as they can enter the mountains and forests, even the mighty cavalry of the Hegemon Kingdom will have no use for their skills.
