Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Someone asked doubtfully: "But does this violate military orders?"

Ji Guofu said sonorously: "There are only two results for going out to attack the Wei army, either win or lose. If you win, so what if you violate the military order? If you lose, you will die on the battlefield. What use are military orders to us? Anyway, this is a coward. I’m tired of being angry.”

"Yes, I've had enough of this cowardice. If this continues, maybe everyone in the world will think that we have defected to the Wei army."

Several generals were moved by Ji Guofu's words.

Ji Guofu said excitedly: "Let the Wei army know our interests tomorrow! I don't know, when do you plan to attack the Wei army?"

Many generals of the Zhao army looked hesitant and no one answered.

"..."

Ji Guofu understood clearly and gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone, I raised this matter first. I will be the first to attack the Wei army tomorrow. If the Wei army can attack, you brothers will follow closely. If the Wei army cannot attack, you don't need to come to rescue. The soldiers lost their lives in vain. What do you think?"

"That's it, I'm going to prepare to mobilize the troops."

There was no need to wait for others to reply, Ji Guofu made the final decision for them.

When everyone heard Ji Guofu's loyal words, they admired him endlessly, and at the same time they felt ashamed.

To be fair, they have absolutely no intention of putting themselves in danger.

Everyone silently bowed their hands in front of Ji Guofu's leaving figure.

The next day, the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell on the earth.

In a corner of Anze City, Ji Guofu mobilized the Zhao army of about 3,000 people, and quietly left the city from a corner of Anze City to attack the Wei army.

Many generals who had learned the news were already standing at the top of the city watching, and were ready to attack at any time.

In the early morning, it was still dark.

There were only sporadic lights in the Wei army camp.

Twenty to thirty thousand Wei soldiers walked out of the military camp in a sparse manner, preparing for today's siege.

However, when they arrived about a kilometer outside Anze City, the Zhao army led by Ji Guofu and several thousand men suddenly came out.

"Everyone, follow me and kill!"

With a roar, Ji Guofu took the lead and charged into the Wei army.

He raised his sword and killed the Wei army, showing his incomparable bravery.

Zhao Jun, who was following Ji Guofu, was greatly shaken in morale when he saw this, and rushed in immediately.

The Wei army was caught off guard by Ji Guofu and the army was in chaos.

Some Wei soldiers who had learned the news in advance looked at each other and deliberately discarded some of their armor and weapons, pretending to be defeated.

As they retreated, the remaining Wei army seemed to have received some kind of signal and fled backwards, completely defeated.

Seeing this, Ji Guofu raised the long sword in his hand, pointed to the sky and shouted: "The Wei army has been defeated. All the soldiers followed me in pursuit. It is finally our turn to take credit for this."

The three thousand Zhao troops who rushed out together were extremely excited and confident. They shouted slogans and rushed forward.

Many Zhao soldiers on the walls of Anze City looked overjoyed when they saw this.

"It turns out that the Wei army is so vulnerable. Let's go and attack quickly. Don't let General Xie take the credit alone."

"Quickly leave the city and defeat them in one fell swoop."

Immediately after Ji Guofu, another 50,000 to 60,000 Zhao troops came out of the city to attack the Wei army.

On the hillside in the distance, Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi, Cen Xiu and others were observing the fleeing Wei army in front, as well as Ji Guofu and Zhao Jun who were chasing after them, and couldn't help but smile.

They all know that their plan is already half successful.

"This Ji Guofu, it seems that he has not disappointed me. Be ready to take action after they all enter the ambush circle."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Long before, Zhao Hongming secretly asked Ji Guofu to find a way to encourage Zhao Jun to leave the city, and Wei Jun cooperated.

Now it seems that among Zhao Jun's generals, there are not many courageous generals.

This can be seen from the fact that Ji Guofu came out alone.

They don't let go of the eagle when they see the rabbit.

Prior to this, Zhao Hongming had not shown up for many days.

He once secretly spread the news, making Li Mu's subordinates think that he was not in the army, so that they could attack with more confidence.

Sure enough, everything went as planned by Zhao Hongming, Wu Qi and others.

Behind Ji Guofu, many soldiers saw that the Wei army was so vulnerable.

So they all eagerly led their subordinates to join the pursuit and defeat of the Wei army, for fear of falling one step behind others.

During the chase, they caught up to the Wei army's camp.

The Wei army camp was shrouded in morning fog, with dense mountain forests on both sides.

The huge ancient tree twisted its body, and its branches stretched like ghosts, covering most of the sky.

The door to the Wei army's camp was open as if to invite them in.

"In the past, King Wu of the Wei State was able to defeat an army of 100,000 with three thousand troops. We, 40,000 to 50,000 heroes, will definitely be able to defeat this Wei army. All officers and men, follow me and kill!" Ji Guofu shouted, holding his neck.

Encouraged by him, the Zhao army allowed no room for doubt and their morale was high. They shouted and rushed into the Wei army's camp.

However, they found no trace of the Wei army. On the contrary, the camp was full of discarded armor and weapons, as well as gold and silver treasures and wish stones.

Zhao Jun who rushed in saw the loot all over the ground and rushed in to snatch it.

Their faces showed expressions of excitement and satisfaction.

The other generals who rushed in after Ji Guofu frowned slightly when they saw this scene, with a bit of doubt on their faces.

Ji Guofu subconsciously fell one step behind everyone.

A general said warily: "Something is wrong with the Wei camp. I'm afraid there might be an ambush..."

At this moment, rumbling war drums suddenly sounded around the Wei army camp.

The flags of the Wei army were flying high in the air, and they surrounded them from all directions, and their shouts of killing shook the sky.

The officers and soldiers of the Zhao army were horrified to find that they were trapped in the encirclement of the Wei army.

Ji Guofu was shocked, and he waved the sword in his hand angrily and shouted: "Retreat! Retreat!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Guofu, who had already retreated behind everyone, took a few personal guards and ran out through the gap in the Wei army's encirclement.

By the time the other generals reacted, it was already too late to escape.

They were completely surrounded by the Wei army, and the gap was filled again by the Wei army.

Many generals of Zhao Jun looked around with livid faces, feeling unwilling.

They wanted to blame Ji Guofu, but when they thought that he was the first to attack and took greater risks than them, they couldn't blame him.

One of the soldiers said cruelly: "I heard that Emperor Wei is not in the army, so we have no chance of winning. I have the highest rank among the generals, and all the soldiers obey my command."

puff!

As soon as the general finished speaking, a flash of silver light flashed, and his figure stopped abruptly.

The huge head rolled down from his neck.

Pillars of blood sprayed two meters high from the headless corpse, turning into rain of blood and falling down.

A moment later, the general's body fell from the horse.

The whole process happened in a blink of an eye, leaving no one with time to react.

"Who said I wasn't here?"

In mid-air, a rainbow light flashed and stopped in front of many Zhao soldiers. The rainbow light gradually faded away, and Zhao Hongming's figure appeared. He was suspended in the air, with a figure as tall as a pine tree and a stern face.

At this time, he was covered in armor, and the armor on his body shone with a cold light, showing his might and extraordinary power.

Zhao Hongming slowly put away the long knife in his hand, and knocked the knife lightly on the sheath, making a crisp metallic sound.

The moment he sheathed the sword, an invisible aura emanated from his body, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

The wind is howling, and the flags are flying.

Zhao Jun's generals looked at this scene in disbelief, as if they were under great pressure.

"The general is dead! The general is dead!"

After a while, some soldiers of Zhao Army shouted in panic.

The originally neat formation fell into chaos instantly, and the soldiers fled in all directions like headless flies.

Zhao Hongming stretched out his hand and gave a signal to take action.

"Leave no one alive, kill!"

The surrounding Wei troops were like tigers emerging from the cage, charging out from the surrounding grass, hills and woods.

They waved their weapons and shouted to kill.

Zhao's army of 50,000 to 60,000 men was unable to fight back under this sudden attack.

Blood stained the field red, and Zhao Jun's soldiers fell one by one. Their wailing and begging for mercy were drowned in the iron hoofs of Wei Jun and the light and shadow of swords.

Many martial artists with high cultivation levels were unable to play any role under Zhao Hongming's pressure.

Anyone who showed signs of appearing was ruthlessly killed by Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming stood in the center of the battlefield, watching all this, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

With perfect preparations for the Wei army, these Zhao soldiers had no chance of escaping.

As Zhao Hongming said, no one was spared and they were all killed.

After the ambush and killing of these Wei troops, it was already bright. Wu Qi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, without further ado, before Li Mu in Anze City reacts, we will attack the city immediately. Maybe we can capture it in one fell swoop."

The remnants of the formation in Anze City were getting weaker and weaker, but Li Mu was very particular about the deployment of troops behind the formation. Even if he broke through a corner of the formation over and over again, it was difficult for the Wei army to attack the tower.

Now that the Zhao army has lost 40,000 troops in one breath, the arrangement behind the formation must be full of loopholes, and there will definitely be cracks in the impregnable defense line.

And in a short period of time, it was difficult for Li Mu to make comprehensive arrangements.

As Wu Qi said, it is a good time to attack the city.

Zhao Hongming agreed: "What the general said is absolutely true. Beat the drums to attack the city. We must capture Anze City today."

"As ordered!"

Sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattice and onto the bluestone floor of the room, forming a patchwork of light and shadow.

There was a dull atmosphere in the room, as if all the air was being squeezed and suffocating.

Li Mu stood alone in front of the map, looking helpless.

There was no expression on his face at this time. The continuous battles and the pressing pressure of the court had made him mentally and physically exhausted. His eyes were deeply sunken, revealing an indescribable exhaustion.

Some dim battle maps were hung on the surrounding walls. Li Mu's eyes wandered over these maps from time to time, trying to find a way to defend the Wei army.

The sunlight outside the window gradually rises high, and the light and shadow in the room also change accordingly.

Li Mu still stood there, motionless, as if he had become a stone sculpture, and everything in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In the current situation, he felt as if his throat was being strangled tightly by an invisible giant hand, and he was quite helpless.

Just as Li Mu was frowning, one of his men hurried over with a look of horror on his face: "General, it's bad! A general violated your order and attacked without permission. The 50,000 to 60,000 Zhao army... was wiped out. !”

Li Mu was shocked when he heard this.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making his already heavy heart even worse.

He felt dizzy and could hardly stand.

At this moment, the deafening sound of war drums came from the distance.

Li Mu kicked away the men blocking his way and rushed to the top of the city.

At noon, the sun was scorching the earth, and there was a chilling atmosphere in front of the city wall.

The Wei army's cavalry surged forward like a black torrent.

Flags fluttered, swords and guns reflected the sun.

Accompanied by the high-pitched war roars of the soldiers and the rumbling sound of horse hooves, it seemed as if the entire city was about to be trampled to the ground.

The blazing sun shone on the city walls and the air was hot.

At this moment, Li Mu's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

He stood at the top of the city, looking at the torrent of Wei troops not far away, with an expression full of despair.

On the city wall, Zhao Jun looked nervously at Wei Jun below, their faces full of fear and anxiety.

Li Mu was not in a hurry to give up, and planned to make a final struggle. He ordered: "Everyone should be in their positions to resist the Wei army."

Not long after he issued the order, the Wei army, led by Wu Qi, Zhao Hongming and others, began to attack the city.

The Wei army's attack was as fierce as a violent storm, which made Zhao Jun's heart palpitate.

The remaining formation of Anze City lit up, and under the sunlight, it looked like an invisible giant net, flashing with complex light patterns, covering the city.

In Zhao Hongming's eyes, many parts of this remnant formation had completely faded, like old age spots on the verge of death, extremely ugly.

He took a deep breath, and with everyone watching nervously, he rushed forward.

"Broken!" Zhao Hongming shouted loudly, and a bright light suddenly burst out in front of his palm.

This light was like substance, transforming into a huge millstone, rushing towards the formation with an unstoppable attitude.

Immediately afterwards, the white national destiny Canglong also pressed forward.

"boom!"

There was a deafening loud noise, and the two collided with the formation, erupting with dazzling light and powerful energy fluctuations.

The entire city wall trembled under the impact, and the soldiers covered their ears in an attempt to alleviate the deafening pain.

When the light dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that the seemingly indestructible formation that had been holding on for a long time actually shattered under Zhao Hongming's blow.

The defense line that was as fragile as glass seemed so vulnerable at this moment.

When the fragments turned into a small formation and trapped Zhao Hongming again, they became shaky, as if they were about to collapse and dissipate at any time.

Zhao Hongming showed no fear and rushed forward, tightly controlling the formation around him.

Zhao Jun, who lost the protection of his formation, faced the surging Wei army.

At this time, the Zhao army's defense line had become weak due to the loss of troops. Coupled with the rumors that Li Mu had betrayed Zhao and colluded with the Wei army, the morale of the soldiers was low and it was impossible to withstand the huge Wei army's offensive.

Li Mu watched helplessly as the defense line he had maintained for a long time collapsed under the iron heel of the Wei army, and the soldiers fled in all directions.

boom!

On the battlefield, Longju repeated his old tricks and knocked open the gate of Anze City.

After waiting for the city gate to be breached, Zhao Jun lost his former calmness and tacit understanding, and fell thousands of miles away.

The Wei army, led by Zhao Hongming and Wu Qi, cooperated tacitly and rushed into the city like a broken bamboo.

At this point, Li Mu knew that the situation was over and he was unable to turn back, so he fled in a hurry under the coercion of his men.

Anze City, which had been attacked for many days, finally changed hands today and was captured by Zhao Hongming. (End of chapter)
