Dynasty Call: Low-key Struggle for Hegemony

Inside and outside Huanqing City, the flags were fluttering, and the evil energy soaring into the sky was vibrating in the void. In the center of the battle, the evil energy was soaring into the sky with a violent momentum.

clang! clang! clang!

The fierce battle between the top military commanders on both sides was as fast as lightning and as powerful as thunder. The sky-shattering explosions resounded in the void. The two of them went back and forth, fighting for more than ten rounds in an instant.

The collision of weapons formed a sound wave that blew through the sky, forming a long-lasting sound wave. The sound wave broke through the sky, and the space was broken layer by layer, like broken glass.

Millions of soldiers from both sides stared at the battle ahead with their eyes wide open. Even though they could not see the figures fighting inside, the mere burst of momentum, the afterimages left behind, and the gorgeous moves made them mesmerized. It's so intoxicating and wonderful.

The generals on both sides looked at the two fighting with great solemnity. Soon everyone's eyes flashed, and the two men's momentum suddenly changed, indicating that each other's testing was over.

"Luo Shouren, take a shot from me too!"

Zhong Lizhen's eyes were burning, and his fighting spirit was rising. He was worthy of being the King of Honor, and the generals under his command were really powerful. He had a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess. As a general, the most exciting thing is to meet such an opponent.

Zhong Lizhen gave a sharp shout, and the next moment the sky changed, and dazzling silver filled the sight of all those watching the battle, followed by a long roar of a silver dragon that shook the sky.

The sky shook and the earth shook, a silver dragon swayed on Zhongli Mei's body, its cold scales exuding an icy sheen.

Zhongli Mei suddenly merged his body and gun into one, turning into a fierce blow, like a peerless fierce dragon, the void exploded, the space exploded, and the gun swept across!

"Well done!"

Luo Shouren's beard and hair were spread out, his fighting spirit was boiling, and the snake spear in his hand was like a supreme demon soldier, blooming with a bright light!

The clear shadow of the devil snake roared in the sky, and the terrifying power surged like a sea, ready to be stabbed by a spear!

The silver dragon roared, the devil snake roared, and the dragon and snake fought with each other, entangled in a pile in the sky.

Soon the silver dragon passed through the demon snake's body and turned the demon snake into black mist!

A dazzling silver edge escaped into the void, grazed Luo Shouren's cheek, and drew a blood mark on his face. A few drops of blood flew out from the wound, and the faint red blood shone with scarlet light.

Everyone in the Alliance military tent took a deep breath, and the eyes of King Yu's generals who had always been aloof and indifferent could not help but shrink.

"He is worthy of being the top general under the command of King Chu, but the outcome is still uncertain. Shouren is stained with blood, and the battle will become crazier."

The same military commander with an unusually tall figure, wearing exquisite black armor, and holding a thick black iron rod said calmly.

Several generals with resolute faces and powerful momentum beside them nodded slightly, looking at the battle in the distance, their stern eyes showing an astonishing fighting spirit.

As expected, a prince who can stand side by side with His Highness should not be underestimated.

Listening to the brave generals speaking, everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance watched the battle very quietly. Among the generals under King Yu's command, does winning or losing matter to them?

And there are even more insidious people, such as some elders of Fengxue Tower who thought very insidiously that it would be great if Zhongli Mei killed Luo Shouren.

In this way, the shame of the eight elders of their Fengxue Tower who were killed by Zhong Lizhen was no longer a shame.

Prince Yu remained silent, his eyes flashing slightly. Tang Mu, who was beside him, was indifferent to the battle between the two, and kept glancing at the senior officials of Prince Chu's Mansion at the city gate.

During the battle, Luo Shouren licked the blood flowing to his mouth and felt the sweetness of the blood. Instead of being angry, his eyes showed a hint of joy and he waved the snake spear in his hand.

"Zhongli Mei, come again!"

Luo Shouren's dark eyes became deep and dark at this moment, and wisps of dark demonic energy were emitted from his body. He moved his body and rushed towards Zhongli Mei at a very fast speed. He could only barely see a blurry afterimage, and a spear was wrapped around the sky. Demonic energy burst out.

The extremely terrifying black demon snake's phantom appeared behind him again, its hiss shook the sky, and everything in the sky slowed down amid the demon snake's sound waves.

Zhong Lizhen's face was stern, and he pointed his gun straight up. Silver light burst out from the tip of the gun, exuding terrible and terrifying fluctuations.

Two bright rays of light shot across the sky, their sharp energy and terrifying force.

boom!

Loud noises resounded between heaven and earth, and violent explosions occurred in the surrounding void!

clang! clang! clang!

The two figures changed unpredictably and fought wildly, from low altitude to high altitude. The momentum was so terrifying that the fighting void around them shook sharply. Unable to withstand the terrifying power of the two battles, it exploded!

The people below looked at the fierce battle above and looked solemn. The soldiers on both sides were shouting fiercely, and the blood and evil spirit were overwhelming.

boom! boom! boom!

The sky shook for half an hour, and the fight between the two became more intense.

The evil aura covered the sky, and a huge silver dragon phantom was strangled fiercely with a huge demon snake in the sky, as well as the deafening sound of weapons clashing.

The sky turned upside down, and the next moment a dazzling silver light cut through the darkness. The silver dragon roared and turned into a silver waning moon and slashed at the huge demonic snake.

As the silver waning moon's domineering power slashed down, the huge demon roared towards the silver waning moon, and huge bodies rushed out from the darkness behind.

boom! ! !

But the moment it came into contact with the silver waning moon, the demon snake was cut into two pieces. A huge head fell from the sky, and the snake body without its head turned into black air.

A figure holding a snake spear flew backwards out of the black air in the sky and hit a peak below, causing the mountain to roll down.

At this moment, Zhongli Mei's body was covered with silver light, his eyes were calm, a shadow of a silver dragon was wandering under his feet, and even the light of the sun above his head was extremely dim.

Everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance suddenly looked at each other. Luo Shouren was defeated again?

boom!

The rocks exploded.

Soon Luo Shouren rushed out from the ruins in the mountain, and saw that he was quite embarrassed. His right arm and shoulder were pierced, and a large amount of blood was exposed. He looked at Zhongli Mei in the sky, sighed briefly, but said frankly:

"I lost this battle!"

Seeing that Luo Shouren, who had great hopes from everyone, was defeated by Zhong Lizhen, everyone in the military tent was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.

King Yu's face was a little gloomy, he glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice:

"retreat!"

The soldiers on the city gate cheered and cheered when they saw the enemy troops retreating slowly.

"General Zhongli's power!"

"General Zhongli is invincible!"

However, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd, Zhong Lizhen looked very calm, and there was even a trace of doubt in his eyes.

…………………………

The army of King Yu and the army of the Lianzhou Alliance came in good fortune, but returned in defeat.

King Yu and the others returned to Qingmu City very quietly.

As soon as he returned to Aoki City and before he could sit down, King Yu turned to Beiming Cangtuo with a gloomy expression:

"Leader of Beiming Alliance, we will start attacking Huanqing City tomorrow, and your army will attack first."

Beiming Cangtuo, Fengxue Louzhu and others looked shocked. Beiming Cangtuo said quickly:

"Your Highness Prince Yu, why don't we attack the city together?"

"Yes, we agreed that we have a cooperative relationship, how can we be allowed to attack the city alone." Pang Ruichun of Fengxue Tower said.

"That's right, aren't we all advancing and retreating together?" Zhang Yumei of Ice and Snow Pavilion also whispered.

Everyone else nodded, looking like they didn't agree.

Seeing that everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance had objections, a general under King Yu cupped his fists and said:

"Everyone, we just arrived yesterday and the soldiers are still exhausted. How can we attack the city?"

"Then we can wait a few days. After all the soldiers have had enough rest, we can attack the city together. Our soldiers have no confidence in attacking Huanqing City." The elder named Guo Shao of Yundu Valley also spoke.

Another general also stood up: "Since you said we will advance and retreat together, it seems that your alliance has not contributed at all today. Our General Feng Chao and General Luo Shouren are both injured."

Everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance frowned. Didn't you do this yourself?

At the beginning, everyone was awesome, but I didn't expect to lose two games in two games. Who's to blame?

Originally, many elders of the Lianzhou Alliance were looking forward to and fearing King Yu's arrival, but seeing King Yu lose to King Chu in both games, they gradually developed a trace of contempt in their hearts and were no longer so awe-inspiring.

Tang Mu said gently: "Everyone, the most important thing for us now is to deal with King Chu. It would be good for you and me to deal with King Chu as soon as possible. The most important thing for King Chu now is to buy time. The longer the time, the more advantage he will have.

As for Huanqing City, we have already observed it today. It is heavily guarded and easy to defend but difficult to attack. We are afraid that it would be unreasonable to capture Huanqing City in a few days, so we can only continue to consume the King of Chu's troops in the early stage. "

"This..." The leaders of Beiming Cangtuo's forces looked at each other and frowned. They already understood King Yu's intention, which was to let the Lianzhou Alliance consume Huanqing City's troops.

Tang Mu looked at everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "Of course, if you think this is unreasonable, it doesn't matter. You can also wait a few days for our army to rest and attack together."

Tang Mu paused, looked at the soothing expressions of the people opposite him, and continued to smile gently:

"It's just that if King Chu's reserve troops continue to arrive later, our attack may be hopeless. If it is hopeless, we will have no choice but not to do useless work.

Therefore, we must attack King Chu at all times and not give King Chu a chance to breathe. Only in this way can we defeat King Chu faster and easier. "

Everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance looked stern. What did this mean? King Yu planned to threaten them with retreating troops?

How could they accept such a threat!

Beiming Cangtuo's face was firm and he said in a deep voice:

"Okay, our Lianzhou Alliance has long wanted to compete with King Chu."

"That's right, it just so happens that many of the soldiers we recruited have never experienced combat, so they are just getting some exercise." Fengxue Host looked like he was just right.

Lu Junyi, Wu Yuxue and others also nodded.

They are really afraid of this now. King Yu has just arrived and has not suffered much losses. He has suffered two defeats at the beginning. Seeing that King Chu is hard to bite, he might just retreat.

Moreover, what Tang Mu said made sense. Since the war had been decided, King Chu could not be given a chance to breathe.

After King Yu saw the Lianzhou Alliance's agreement, his gloomy expression changed and he revealed a friendly and kind smile:

"Don't worry, everyone, I won't treat you badly after I deal with King Chu."

What else can everyone in the Lianzhou Alliance do?

"Thank you, His Highness King Yu."

Everyone quickly returned to their happy side, and after King Yu exchanged a few emotional words with them, he left with a group of generals.

Seeing the disappearing figures of King Yu and others, Pang Ruichun of Fengxue Tower finally couldn't help it anymore:

"Bah, there have always been rumors about how King Yu is doing and how he has many elite soldiers and generals under his command. Now it seems like this is all."

"Shut up!" Seeing that Pang Ruichun dared to taunt here, the Fengxue Tower owner became angry and quickly stopped.

"Pang Ruichun, if you say one more thing, I will destroy you immediately!"

Song Jiang looked at Pang Ruichun's appearance and shook his head slightly. Is this Pang Ruichun a fool? How could King Yu and others not hear him at such a close distance.

Pang Ruichun's big head shrank when he was yelled angrily by the Fengxue poster, but he still muttered: "That's what it is."

"Okay, let's go back and discuss tomorrow's siege." Beiming Cangtuo's eyes were deep and he watched quietly after King Yu left, then stopped the two of them from talking.

"Okay, let's go!"

Master Yungu looked a little unhappy, not only him, but also many people looked very unhappy.

This time, no one looked down upon what Pang Ruichun said, and even felt that he was right.

On the way to the lobby with everyone, Lu Junyi and Song Jiang glanced at each other inadvertently, both showing doubts in their eyes.

King Yu is a little strange today. Normally, shouldn't he want to maintain a good relationship with the Lianzhou Alliance?

Even if they wanted to use the Lianzhou Alliance as cannon fodder, they wouldn't be so blatant.

Is it because he lost both games in the first game that he was so angry?

……………………

Compared with the stiff atmosphere in Huanmucheng, the enthusiasm in Huanqing City was high. The serious faces of the elders of the Black Dragon Gang, the Song Family, and the Lieyan Sect also showed a smile, and their tense mood relaxed slightly.

It seems that King Yu is not that good either.

In the lobby, Li Yuan expressed high praise and commendation to Zhong Lizhen and Guan Sheng, and gave everyone an inspiring encouragement. After that, everyone left in high spirits and continued to be on guard.

Only Meng Tian, ​​Jia Xu, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhong Lizhen, Ma Chao, Xu Kuang, Song Kong and other senior officials were left in the lobby.

"Your Highness, I think there is something wrong with the battle just now. I feel like Luo Shouren is deliberately losing to me."

Zhong Lizhen recalled the battle with Luo Shouren just now, and his heart became more and more doubtful. He could feel that Luo Shouren was very strong, and it would not be so easy to defeat him.

Feeling that Luo Shouren had a problem, Zhong Lizhen honestly reported his doubts to Li Yuan.

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhong Limei's words.

Zhou Xuan was a talent that Li Yuan brought back from Kyoto. He and Fang Shiyuan also came to Huanqing City to defend against the enemy. When he heard Zhong Lizei's words, he looked unbelieving and blurted out:

"General Zhongli, are you worrying too much? Although Luo Shouren is powerful, you are even stronger, so why should you be so humble?

This time King Yu was so embarrassed, how could he pretend to lose? "

After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, everyone nodded. Yes, the first battle was extremely important. In addition, Guan Sheng had won the previous battle. How could Luo Shouren lose on purpose? He was not afraid of King Yu being furious?

Song Heng, the young master of the Song family, also agreed:

"That's right, General Zhongli, we have also seen this battle. According to rumors, Luo Shouren is also a general with a bold and upright character. He is no match for you. In addition, he is injured and has no confidence to defeat you. He surrenders directly. It’s completely understandable to admit defeat.”

Ma Chao, Xu Chu and the others also nodded slightly.

Li Yuan's heart moved slightly when he saw Zhong Lizhen's serious look and everyone's reactions. Instead of judging right or wrong, he asked:

"If Luo Shouren lost to Zhong Lizhen on purpose, then why did he do this?"

Zhong Lizhen frowned. This was also a question he had always wondered. What was Luo Shouren's reason for losing on purpose?
