Chapter 126: Defeated, defeated

  The army of the Great Ming swept across the pontoon bridge like a mountain and surged into the Yuan army's position. The vanguard soldiers who had rushed forward were now shouting loudly and killing the panicked Yuan people in front of them. Their defense was finally rewarded, and the dozens of pontoon bridges quickly set up connected both banks of the Baishi River, and the Ming army's offensive began to unfold.

  "Hurry! Speed up! Get all of you to cross the bridge and take down the Yuan army on the other side!" At the moment when the pontoon bridge was opened, Fu Youde waved his treasured sword loudly urging the soldiers to advance quickly, and also ordered his men to immediately build the next batch of pontoon bridges. He wanted the 2.5 million strong army to go to the other side of the river to slaughter the Yuan people.

  "Brothers! Let me kill!" Wang Bi charged into the enemy crowd on horseback, his twin blades flying in a linked dance. He had been impatient for a long time, and when he heard the battle cries from the other side of the river, he was itching to move. Now that the floating bridge was set up, he was the first one to rush forward.

  He was so anxious because of the previous Northern Expedition, when he and Nayan fought against each other before the Battle of Ningcheng. He and Khubilai Khan had a fierce battle, one dead and one injured, Khubilai Khan was killed by him but he himself was also seriously injured, after being rescued back to the rear army to rest and recover from his injuries, until the main force marched north to the Buir Lake.

  But since then, the army has not had any battles. He lay in the medical tent for several months to rest his body, which was almost rusty. His strong desire for battle had nowhere to vent, but unfortunately, the Northern Expedition had ended and this was something he could not change. However, the subsequent Southern Expedition made Wang Bi secretly rejoice, thinking that this time he would be able to kill enemies and vent his frustrations.

  He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, with no one surviving under his double knives. Even the Yuan generals could not stop him, and he stirred up a bloody storm, with arms and legs flying everywhere under his knife.

  Although it is said that Zhang Feng's future will surpass Wang Bi, the current Wang Bi is not someone Zhang Feng can compare to. As a nearly fifty-year-old man, he still has such abundant energy and his mature swordsmanship often easily beheads and dismembers his enemies, making Zhang Feng, who was resting on one side, watch with great relish.

  Deeply shocked, I thought to myself when my own combat skills could be as exquisite as Ding Yuanhou's. Every swing of his sword and every step of his footwork was a result of repeated battles, whereas I often still needed brute force to kill the enemy.

  It won't happen to General Li that he would be locked up by someone like what happened just now, it seems that I am still too tender, and the number of people I have killed is not enough. When I can kill a hundred or a thousand people, my combat skills will probably be perfect.

  Zhang Feng took a deep breath, slowly picked up an unrolled willow leaf knife from the ground, and supported his tired body as he walked towards the enemy's direction. Amidst the surprised gaze of the resting soldiers around him, he gradually accelerated his speed and rushed into the battlefield.

  "Tsk... what's with that kid just now, still having the energy to wield a knife and kill people..." An old soldier who had been stabbed multiple times and was still bleeding asked his comrade beside him, looking like he didn't care about the amount of blood flowing out of his own body as he chewed on some grass roots.

  "Who knows, I've seen this kid escorting prisoners to Xiangyang, during the suppression of bandits many people didn't make a move, he didn't either, but today I finally saw what he's capable of, this kid is really strong, really strong!" his companion exclaimed.

  "You two weren't there when this kid was at his bravest, in the battle of Ning City we and that Yan Shan Hu Wei Su were both guarding the center and wings, you know how fierce the Mongolian iron cavalry charged, right? This kid actually dared to charge into the enemy's cavalry formation alone, killed many people and came out alive! You say isn't he formidable?! And today, with a flying sword, he killed that damn Yuan general Qian Hu Chang, and retreated safely under the siege of the noble guards, I ask you, is he strong or not?!"

  Another soldier spat out a mouthful of blood foam and slowly said, while speaking, he also gestured with his hands and feet, as if it was not enough to describe Zhang Feng's ferocity.

  The murmurs of these three were just a tiny part of the voices of everyone, and when all the exhausted pioneers looked at Zhang Feng's straight back, they admired this concept that was quietly born in the hearts of these old soldiers...

  "It's all over! It's all over! The Ming troops have landed!" A eunuch rushed into the tent of Prince Liang in a flurry.

  "What's the panic? Didn't Ming Jun already go ashore?"

  Liáng wáng gāng gāng wěn dìng xīn shén xiǎng hē yī bēi jiǔ huǎn huǎn de shí hòu jiù bèi zhè nèi shì kǒng dé yī duō suō, bēi zhōng de jiǔ bù yóu dé sā le dà bàn, qì de tā bǎ wàng jiù bèi yī xià zi jiù shuāi dào le nèi shì de tóu shàng dà shēng hū chì.

  "Your Majesty... there are many, many Ming troops..." The eunuch, enduring the pain and continuous bleeding on his head, knelt on the ground, shivering as he spoke.

  Li Wang didn't have the heart to punish him anymore, what does it mean that many, many Ming troops are coming? It means that the Ming army on the other side of the river has already rushed over. Even if he doesn't understand the principles of war at all, he knows that his side is doomed to lose. He was defeated, defeated at the White Stone Riverbank.

  "Where is General Dali Ma?! Where is General Dali Ma?!" King Liang suddenly grabbed the eunuch's collar and shouted, his old face looking so flustered, with bulging veins on both sides of his forehead due to intense emotions, his twisted face covered in wrinkles, staring at the eunuch with bloodshot eyes as if he wanted to swallow him whole. At this moment, King Liang's ugly appearance was exposed without a doubt.

  "Reaching...reaching...Dali Mazhen disappeared when the Ming army rushed ashore." The inner attendant replied, trembling like a sieve, and his pants were wet with urine, he was so scared by Prince Liang that he peed his pants.

  When he heard the news, Liang Wang weakly released his grip on the eunuch and suddenly fell to the ground, staring blankly at the hurried footsteps outside the tent. For a moment, he seemed to have entered the countdown of his life.

  "Your Highness! Your Highness! Come with me quickly! We've been defeated! The army has collapsed!" At this moment, his guard, Ha Duo, rushed in hastily and, without regard for the currently paralyzed Prince Liang, kicked open the inner attendant and abruptly lifted up his own master and ran out of the camp.

  At this time, the Yuan army soldiers outside the account were all in a state of panic, they fled in all directions in a daze, abandoning their helmets and armor could no longer describe their current appearance, terrified expressions floated on everyone's face, from time to time looking back at what was behind them, as if there was some kind of monster chasing after them.

  "Hurry! Help the king onto his horse! We'll take the king and break out, everything else can wait!" Ha Do killed a Yuan soldier who was trying to rush over and steal their horses, then helped the lifeless Liang Wang onto his saddle. With his own men escorting him, he began to gallop towards Qujing County...
