Fu Baoguo's voice was thick and strong, echoing above the battlefield.
"Who are you people? What is your purpose in invading Yutang? To put it simply, you are invaders who have come to invade Yutang's great land! We, the soldiers who guard the border, are passively defending. We are the ones who have no choice but to fight! Only we have the right to use the words' no choice but to fight '. What right do you invaders have to say that you have no choice but to fight? As the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people; there is no distinction between right and wrong. What do you say that you have no choice but to fight is nonsense, or perhaps a great joke. It's better that you hide quickly and don't make others laugh at you! "
Fu Baoguo's words were sonorous, his voice like a thunderclap as he spoke vehemently, "You said that dying on the battlefield is the duty of a soldier. This, at its core, is understandable, but what do you all die on the battlefield for? For glory and wealth, but we die on the battlefield to protect our homes and defend our country against the invaders!"
"Speaking of which, you are still not worthy of mentioning the words' soldier's duty '! The so-called greatest glory has nothing to do with you! "
Zhan Ge's expression changed.
"You also said that if you die on the battlefield, you have no complaints; if I die on the battlefield, I hope that we can be bosom friends in our next life …"
Fu Baoguo sneered, "Let me give you a piece of advice. Keep your words to yourself and stop dreaming! Even if we die on the battlefield, even if there is a next life, we will never be bosom friends with you, the leader of the invaders! Be it life or death, be it this life or the next, you invaders will always be our greatest enemy! If there is a next life, I will only continue to enlist in the army and climb up the ranks to become the marshal again. I will fight you all on the battlefield again, to fight to the death! "
"We, Yutang's soldiers, have never been afraid of battle, but we have never been willing to initiate a war!"
Fu Baoguo said loudly, "If you had not come, many of us would not have enlisted in the army! If you had not come, many of us would have preferred to stay at home, to live with our wives and children, to farm and cultivate, to grow old together, to unite with our neighbors, to be filial to the elderly, to teach our children. We were willing to be mediocre for the rest of our lives, willing to die of old age in the forest, unknown but peaceful and happy … "
"But you have come, you invaders have come!"
"We have no choice but to fight. If we don't fight, our homes will be destroyed. Our fathers, mothers, wives, and children will be killed. All of us will be enslaved. That's why we are standing here, fighting against you invaders!"
"Now, in order to raise your morale, you actually say such shameless words. What is the greatest honor of a soldier? Coming from your mouth, it will only tarnish the duty of a soldier! Dongxuan is not worthy of mentioning the so-called highest honor of a soldier! At this time and place, only we, the Yutang army, deserve to have it! "
"This is ours!" Fu Baoguo hollered.
Yutang's hundred-thousand-strong army was flushed with agitation, feeling like their hearts were about to explode from the gushing blood. They could not help shouting in unison, "Ours!"
The orderly and resolute voices were like thunder in the clear sky, shaking the nine heavens.
Zhan Ge's expression changed, and his pupils contracted rapidly.
At this moment, he realized that he had failed.
Not only did Yutang's morale, which had just been knocked down, recover after Fu Baoguo's words, it was even several times stronger than before!
On the other hand, many of his men had their heads lowered, shame that came from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.
Zhan Ge could not help groaning inwardly. He had not expected Fu Baoguo to not only be a cut above the rest in the art of war and strategy, but also to be so eloquent. His tongue was as sharp as a knife, and his words were sharp enough to draw blood. Zhan Ge was afraid that he had really outsmarted himself this time.
Just as he was about to interrupt Fu Baoguo, he heard Fu Baoguo roar fiercely again, "There's only one sentence in your long speech that's right. You said that I'm not willing to come out and drink these three goblets of wine with you. You're right! I'm not willing! This Fu also drinks, but this Fu only drinks with friends, brothers, and fellow comrades! However, I, Fu Baoguo, will never drink with an invader! "
"Are you worthy to drink with me?"
Fu Baoguo guffawed, his voice like thunder. "Who do you think you are? You're only an invader who has come to invade my land, to invade my home, to kill my brothers, to maim my comrades … How dare you dream of drinking with me? Do you think you're worthy? Pfft! "
Zhan Ge was trembling with rage when he heard him, hollering, "Fu Baoguo!"
Fu Baoguo ignored him and recited, "The hearts of Yutang's warriors, the bones of steel to fight against the nation. Today, when the nation is in danger, we won't hesitate to die!"
He hollered, "Beat the drums! Sound the bugles! Attack! "
The majestic war drums rang with Fu Baoguo's command. The bleak and desolate bugles seemed to have blown open the gates of hell as a boundless, menacing aura filled the air and engulfed the heaven and earth!
Yutang's warriors, whose blood was already boiling to its boiling point, roared in unison, "Kill!"
The sound of horse hooves rumbled like rolling thunder.
There were eight squads of cavalrymen, each of them holding a huge flag high as they charged forward like a raging dragon clearing a path.
Wang Dingguo was in the center of the formation as he hollered, "The Steel Cavalry is here, who dares to invade our land?"
Behind him, tens of thousands of Steel Cavalry responded in unison, "The Steel Cavalry is here! Who dares to invade our land? "
Tens of thousands of people responded in unison, as if a hole had suddenly collapsed in the clear sky.
"Serving Troop! Since we've enlisted, we shall serve our country with loyalty! "
"Blood shall be shed on the battlefield at the border, we shall not let down our youth!"
"Today, we shall serve our country with our lives!"
"Kill!"
A hundred thousand soldiers charged forward like a tsunami, determined to fight to the death. Their target was Dongxuan's base; their aura was unparalleled as they looked down on the world.
The military flag fluttered in the wind.
Fu Baoguo stood at the back of Yutang's army, standing tall like a mountain, his aura imposing. His eyes were glued to the flag that was about to charge into the enemy's base and was gradually blurring, as if he was looking at his next life.
He stood tall like a mountain, steady like an abyss, but his vision was already blurry.
On the opposite side, the Shadow Cavalry had already moved out. Like a black wave, they surged from the horizon and rolled forward, blanketing the sky and earth. In an instant, they had already covered half of the battlefield, blocking their path.
Extremes against extremes, the two armies had launched into a life-and-death battle the moment they came into contact. From this moment on, the final battle of Yutang's eastern frontline had begun!
"Good brother! Good man! We shall continue to fight together in our next life! I, Fu Baoguo, shall still be your marshal! "
Fu Baoguo squeezed his warhorse with both legs and pointed the sword in his hand forward. Just as he was about to urge his horse forward with a roar, his body, which was already charging forward, suddenly jerked and stiffened, inexplicably stopping its charge.
At the same time, his eyes revealed a peculiar look of disbelief.
Han Sanhe, who had been guarding the rear, felt it too. He stood up abruptly, his face ashen and unusually grim.
It was at this moment that the whistling wind in the air suddenly changed direction from the northern wind that was in accordance with the weather, turning into a strong western wind!
At this moment, the changes in the weather were sudden and without the slightest sign, and it even went against convention. Moreover, it was intense to the point it was unbelievable!
The sudden, violent western wind swept the ground, bringing with it a cloud of dust and sand as it hurled towards the east.
Yes, it was hurled over!
At this very moment, the wind swept the sand and dust over!
The violent wind howled, hissing in the air. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into an even more powerful hurricane. Gradually, it was no longer limited to sweeping the sand and dust, but it had also swept up the dust, snow, and ice on the ground. For a moment, the wind was like a hidden weapon descending from the sky, crashing towards Dongxuan's army along with the wind's momentum.
At the same time, the wind and clouds gathered in the sky, gathering above the battlefield as if they had heard the order to assemble. In just a moment, the clouds were already densely packed, piling up into a thick layer.
Above the thick layers of clouds, flashes of lightning could be seen from time to time. It was obvious that a large amount of lightning was brewing above the clouds.
After a few breaths, the rumbling of thunder reverberated in the sky.
The next moment …
With a thunderous crack, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky. It was unknown if it was a coincidence or if it was the will of the heavens, but it exploded right in the middle of Dongxuan's Shadow Cavalry.
