Zhao Man took a closer look and saw a long spear glowing with blue light blocking the thick beam of light. Even the air around it was slightly distorted.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
Even Zhao Man was stunned. He thought that he was dead for sure, but in the end, a long spear appeared out of nowhere and blocked the attack for him.
Slowly, the beam of light became thinner and thinner, and the blue light on the long spear became fainter.
With a whoosh, the beam of light disappeared, and the long spear was still floating in the air, with tiny bolts of lightning flowing around the spear from time to time.
Zhao Man had a feeling that the long spear was calling out to him, waiting for him excitedly.
Slowly, Zhao Man approached the long spear, and the people behind him almost stopped breathing. This was a divine weapon that could resist the might of heaven and earth.
Zhao Man grabbed the spear, and the blue light that was still on the outside was sucked back into the spear.
The long spear was twenty feet long, and golden in color. There was a five-clawed divine dragon coiled around it, and it was extremely sharp, flashing with a cold light. The entire spear was cast from Star Steel, and its pitch-black surface was faintly discernible with scattered starlight. The tip of the spear was very sharp, and a blue light flowed around it, showing its extraordinary power.
Zhao Man was sizing up the spear when a sudden power surged from the spear. Zhao Man could not help but raise the spear in his hand and point it at the sky, and a blue light beam shot out from the tip of the spear.
The slender blue light devoured the clouds. It was lifeless and lifeless. The sky that was filled with black clouds just a moment ago disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never appeared.
Even the whistling wind disappeared, and the clear blue sky and white clouds returned.
The entire army looked at Zhao Man, who was holding the war flag with one hand and the long spear with the other.
"A divine weapon protecting its master" Captain Lu muttered to himself.
Everyone remained silent and followed Zhao Man forward. They felt that they had endless power, and their morale was high. Everyone knew that.
"Justice will prevail"
Xue 'er stuck out her tongue at the back, and attentively massaged Gu Zheng.
.....
After the First Prince finished patrolling the camp, he returned to his tent, and Lin Zui was already inside.
Lin Zui's head was still wrapped in bandages, and it seemed that he had been injured in the previous battle. Looking around, many people were frowning.
The entire tent fell into depression. The current situation was really not good.
When that old thief Yong Quan took the opportunity of meeting the Emperor to bring a portion of his personal guards and some of the guards he roped in to detain Imperial Father and his people, the Eldest Prince was coincidentally not in the palace.
In order to preserve the integrity of the palace and reduce the number of casualties, they did not immediately give the order to attack with all their might.
It was only after the gates of the outer city had been tricked open that the first prince realized that this was an abnormally huge conspiracy. Most of the soldiers stationed outside had defected and been infiltrated right under his nose.
In a hurry, the First Prince had no choice but to lead the remaining soldiers and generals of the royal family out of the city. He also sent out messengers to ask for help from the various city lords.
Originally, the First Prince and Yong Quan's dog soldier were about the same. Unfortunately, the City Lord who had helped the late Emperor had attacked from behind, causing the situation to collapse.
Fortunately, Lin Zui and his soldiers came to the rescue in time. Otherwise, even the First Prince would have been caught in that battle.
Originally, because of Yong Quan, they had more soldiers now. Moreover, the other side had a Quasi-Immortal who had reached Level Five of Inner Strength. If not for Lin Zui's fortuitous encounter and advancement, his side would have been beheaded a long time ago.
In the past few days, they had lost more battles than they won. Their morale was already very low.
Moreover, the other side had new City Lords leading their private soldiers into the fray every day. They were getting stronger and stronger, and their soldiers had already reached eight thousand. On the other hand, the other side only had two City Lords. They were even ambushed halfway and suffered heavy losses.
No one had expected Yong Quan Society to rebel so decisively. Before this, there had been no movement at all. No one had expected this.
After all, the late Emperor had treated him well. Even his granddaughter had married his eldest son.
The First Prince still spoke, "Does anyone have any good ideas?"
A subordinate stood up and said, "Right now, we only have five thousand soldiers. Not only are we less than half of the other sides, our morale is also very low. More importantly, our supplies are running low."
This subordinate once again gathered his courage and said, "Why don't we return to the cities under our control first and come back another day …"
"No." Lin Zui directly interrupted him and said to the First Prince, "Right now, there are still many nobles in the city who have not surrendered to Yong Quan. If we shrink back, then there is really nothing we can do."
The First Prince understood Lin Zui's words. If he was really afraid, then those guys might completely side with the other side. At that time, how could he resist with the few cities he had?
"There is still the Sixth Prince." A weak voice sounded.
Everyone remembered that there was still the brave Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, the limits of a single person on the battlefield were too small.
Unless the Sixth Prince suddenly became an Immortal, there was no way he could end this war.
It would be more reasonable to think that all the higher-ups of the other side had been poisoned to death.
The atmosphere, which had just been lifted, fell again.
The First Prince also said helplessly, "Let's go. Comfort the soldiers and strengthen the camp."
Everyone took their leave. Only the First Prince and Lin Zui were left in the tent.
The First Prince asked Lin Zui dejectedly, "Do you think we still have hope?"
Lin Zui suddenly thought of the Immortal who had saved him. He said in an uncertain tone.
"Maybe."
At the same time, in the other side's camp.
Unlike the silent First Prince who was sure to win, this place was full of laughter.
The soldiers were more spirited and more confident.
In the central tent, a banquet had already begun.
Yong Quan sat on the main seat. He could not hide the smile on his face. He kept toasting and drinking with the people around him. The tent was full of laughter.
Everyone was praising Yong Quan. Both the host and the guest were really enjoying themselves.
By the time everything was over, it was already midnight. Yong Quan was also a little drunk.
The first special envoy came again. Yong Quan looked at him and said proudly, "I have already done what you said. Don't forget your promise."
The special envoy did not care about Yong Quan's arrogance. In the face of absolute power, some tricks were useless.
"Don't worry. I will definitely do what I promised you. They have already sent people over. Five people. Nothing will go wrong. I just hope you don't screw up. Let's end this quickly."
"No problem. You will see the result tomorrow." Yong Quan was a little proud. He laughed arrogantly.
If not for the fact that he was waiting for them to give him a final answer, he would have stopped delaying. With the experts they had given him, although Lin Zui was also at the fifth level, which was beyond his expectations, it was not a big deal.
After holding Lin Zui back, the rest would be a wave of attacks. In addition, the other side had already sent people to kill the Sixth Prince. Even if he was at the fifth level, he would not be able to withstand the attacks of five people.
He was only one step away from the position that was within his reach, although he was also a puppet.
"I will wait for your good news. In that case, I will take my leave first. I am not needed here anymore." The special envoy chuckled and slowly retreated.
Yong Quan really wanted to keep the special envoy here, but the special envoy's background was too scary. He could only helplessly give up on his idea.
The next day, early in the morning, Yong Quan's side started cooking. They were preparing for the final attack.
The bustling situation could not be hidden from the other side. The First Prince anxiously gathered everyone to discuss what to do.
After discussing and discussing, in the end, they had no choice but to stick to the camp. It was better to have some defense than to go out.
This was a good thing for the First Prince, because in a few days, even if the other side did not come, he would still have to go over. There was no other way, they were short of food.
When they retreated from the capital, they did not bring much supplies. Even some supplies were very short.
Slowly, the sun rose higher and higher. While the first prince was still busy increasing the defense of the camp, the soldiers who were guarding the perimeter of the camp quickly returned.
The First Prince knew that the other side had arrived and the battle was about to begin.
The First Prince led some of his personal guards and personally commanded at the front to raise the somewhat shaky morale.
Rows of soldiers stood guard behind the low railings. In front of each railing was a wooden stick with a few low arrow towers. To be honest, it was not easy to build such a defense.
If they were in the city, they would not be afraid even if the number of soldiers doubled.
Yong Quan led a few generals and stopped outside the range of the arrows.
Every soldier behind him was ready. They would lead Yong Quan to give the order and trample the enemy.
"First Prince, why do we have to fight and kill? If you surrender now, I guarantee that your family will not have to worry for the rest of your life. Why waste the lives of soldiers?" A loud voice guaranteed that everyone on the other side could hear. In any case, Yong Quan's strength was not low.
"Soldiers on the other side, if you abandon the darkness and join the light, I will guarantee your safety. Why do you want to die with the First Prince? Think about your family and your wives behind you."
He used a psychological attack right from the start. This was also built on the fact that the other side kept winning.
To be honest, if the officers he roped in did not rebel, the First Prince would have died in the city. This way, he would not have to worry about this army.
Was Yong Quan's words useful? It was useful. Looking at the commotion on the First Prince's side, one would know.
The First Prince did not reply. At this time, he continued to pacify everyone in the camp. These useless words were basically useless in this place. At this time, it was either you die or I die. There would be no harmonious scene.
The First Prince's strength was the same as ordinary people. Because he was the next King, the way he was trained was different. This was also why the name given to him in the early days was full of flaws. It was only after General Lin Zui arrived that things became better.
Yong Quan also knew that his words were useless. They were just to annoy the other side. Seeing that the other side did not reply, he was very disappointed and wanted to humiliate the other side.
He directly ordered the army to attack the other side.
Because there were many trees on both sides of the camp, they directly split into two groups and attacked the camp.
In front of them were rows of shield wielders holding shields. They raised their shields high to block the arrows coming from the other side. Behind them were the archers from the other side. The other infantrymen were on the two wings, forming a neat formation as they advanced forward.
There was also a large group of about five hundred cavalrymen wandering outside, waiting for an opportunity. This was the most important trump card.
The first to engage was not the soldiers on both sides, but Lin Zui.
A figure flew out from the other side. Lin Zui had no choice but to go out and block the other side. Other than himself, there was no one else who could stop the advance.
For a moment, the two figures rolled up and down, fighting fiercely. In the previous few exchanges, both sides were evenly matched. Now, the fight would not end in a short time.
In the end, the final result would be decided by the strength of their respective armies.
"Release the arrows!"
First, the First Prince's side shot out a rain of arrows. However, most of them were blocked by the shields. Only a few unlucky soldiers were hit occasionally.
Then, as Yong Quan's arrows showed their might, the two sides shot back and forth at a distance of eighty meters. Both sides suffered heavy losses. However, the First Prince's side suffered fewer casualties. After all, they had places to hide.
The shield sword-wielders and the soldiers on the flanks took this opportunity to charge forward.
Like the tides of the sea, waves after waves of soldiers rushed towards the reefs. The first wave died, but the second wave continued. It was endless, causing despair.
The wooden spikes were pulled out, the fences were destroyed, and the simple traps were filled. After paying a heavy price, the line of defense on both sides was broken through.
It directly entered a bitter hand-to-hand battle. Every moment, there would be people dying on both sides. Roars and screams resounded throughout the battlefield.
The First Prince was protected by layers of people. However, the news that came from everywhere was not good. The entire battlefield was being pushed back.
"The outcome has been decided." Yong Quan said to the people around him.
"Congratulations Great General Yong Quan, no, Your Majesty." A bootlicker saw the situation and began to flatter.
"Haha, let the cavalry go. Let's end this."
Yong Quan laughed and gave the order. There was no need for any schemes or tricks. Just use absolute strength to destroy the enemy.
The cavalry that had been patrolling outside could no longer hold back when they saw the barrier was broken. Hearing Yong Quan's order, they immediately charged forward.
Even if there were only five hundred cavalry, the commotion they caused was not small. Clouds of yellow dust flew behind them.
When Yong Quan's soldiers saw this, they quickly opened up a path. They did not want to be killed by their own people.
How could the hastily assembled soldiers block the cavalry? They did not even need a round to charge in. They only lost a few members.
The nearby soldiers immediately broke down and hurriedly fled.
"Good chance." Zhao Man's eyes flashed. He ordered the entire army to prepare to attack from the flank.
It turned out that Zhao Man had already arrived. He took advantage of the night to sneak to the other side of the forest and sneaked in.
According to Zhao Man's original plan, he should have met up with the First Prince directly. However, Captain Lu strongly objected and gave him a reason.
If he joined in, he would not be able to change the overall situation. If he could sneak in and attack from behind, he could change the direction of the battle.
In the end, Zhao Man agreed to Captain Lu's plan and hid in the forest. Under the cover of someone, Zhao Man, who hid very well, was not discovered by the scouts of both sides. He also had to worry about whether there were spies on the First Prince's side.
When the battle reached its climax, Zhao Man was ready to make a move. However, the cavalry outside was too dangerous. On the plains, his troops would definitely be able to block the enemy's charge.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry had charged in, they would definitely not be able to come out for a while. Although he felt sorry for them, he had to do this for the sake of victory.
"All troops, charge." The soldiers who were on standby followed Zhao Man and charged out. They directly pierced through the enemy army's flank and advanced in an arc.
Zhao Man was at the front, holding a Thunder Fire Spear in his hand. No one could last more than one round. No matter if it was a general or a soldier, anyone who stood in front of him would die. He was unstoppable.
An earth-shattering battle cry came from the side. It was out of everyone's expectations. When the First Prince's side knew that there were reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted. With hope, Kashi went all out and actually pushed back the enemy's attack by half a step.
Yong Quan's side was really shocked. No one expected that there would be an ambush from behind and from the side.
Under the pincer attack from both sides, Yong Quan's army was actually being slaughtered.
Yong Quan directly killed a deserter beside him. The Great God shouted, "Kill them, whoever runs will be killed." He also organized some soldiers at the back to kill whoever retreated.
Now that they still had the advantage in numbers, once the cavalry inside killed their way out, the reinforcements outside would not be a problem.
Now, it was a battle of willfulness.
The First Prince's side also knew this. Everyone risked their lives to hold the cavalry back. For a while, the cavalry would not be able to come out.
Although the expert fighting with Lin Zui was also shocked by this scene, Lin Zui was the real enemy in front of him.
The two of them had been fighting for half a day and had long left the battlefield. Everyone was panting, and their clothes were dyed red with blood.
But Lin Zui was still attacking the opponent with all his might. The Fourth Young Master did not care about his own injuries. This was different from the previous time when he stayed behind to defend. This time, he was really going all out. If the army was destroyed, it would be meaningless for him.
The expert on the other side was also suffering. He did not want to die together with the enemy, but now he could not get away. Unlike before, when he still had some time to think, he was already fighting with all his might. Whoever dared to relax would die first.
For some reason, just as he was about to raise his hands to block Lin Zui's attack, he went into a daze. The last thing he saw was a fist right in front of him.
"Pa" The expert's head was immediately dented. Obviously, he was not going to survive.
Lin Zui was also stunned. This was just a normal attack. He had lost count of how many times he had attacked. This time, the opponent actually went into a daze. It was really unbelievable.
Could it be that the opponent had hemorrhoids? Unable to figure it out, Lin Zui quickly ran towards the battlefield.
The current situation on the battlefield was not optimistic. Although the initial sneak attack had caused a lot of casualties, after Yong Quan cruelly suppressed the deserters, the situation was slowly being turned around.
If this continued, Yong Quan's victory was certain. However, a complete victory would turn into a pyrrhic victory.
At this moment, Zhao Man was covered in blood. He was still waving his spear and fighting with all his might. He kept moving forward, and after clearing a path, he would return and continue to kill. This was to divide the soldiers on the other side. However, there were already more than a thousand soldiers behind him. Captain Lu was also by his side, but there were several wounds on his back.
However, the number of enemies was increasing. Zhao Man had been leading the way, so his stamina was being depleted more than usual.
Seeing all this, Captain Lu cried and advised, "Young Master Liu, let us escort you out of the encirclement. If we don't get out now, we won't be able to."
Zhao Man did not say anything. His face was filled with determination. However, he continued to wipe out the enemies around him.
Captain Lu's saber was chopped up. He snatched one from the other side and raised it high.
"Fight to the death!"
The soldiers behind him all roared in anger.
Yong Quan looked at this scene and sneered, "It's just a struggle before death."
No matter who it is, they can't stop me.
