As for what Zhang Shijie did, Mo Qiong and the others did not care.
They were only in charge of one thing, which was to ensure that Zhang Shijie, Jiang Cheng, and the seventy people did not die before Zhang Shijie and the others arrived at Fishing City.
They did not care how many people Zhang Shijie recruited. If you have the balls, then go ahead and revive your country. Anyways, although they joined in, they would not use too much strength.
Although their existence had actually helped Zhang Shijie, how could a matter of individual bravery be considered as helping?
In this world, there was nothing that could be done just by talking.
However, in olden times, personal bravery had a much greater influence on public opinion than in modern times. After all, in ancient wars, morale was just too important.
In just two days, the news of the three God Generals defeating the five thousand Meng army spread across Yue and Gan. The various anti-Yuan factions were roused, and the Meng army was badly battered.
This time, it was Zhang Hongfan who added fuel to the fire. As the one leading the troops was Li Heng, the loss had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it could draw attention to his defeat at Yashan.
However, when he learned that South Conquering Marshal Ah Shu had arrived at Jizhou, he panicked.
He had to do something. If not, his career would come to an end, and he might even lose his life.
3rd month, 29th day, Zhang Hongfan led twenty thousand troops to chase Zhang Shijie to the border of Hunan and Gan.
At this moment, Zhang Shijie also had ten thousand men. However, his ten thousand could not be compared to the Meng army.
The Meng army's equipment was the best in the world.
They had a thousand heavy cavalry out of ten thousand men. Zhang Shijie had two thousand under him, and they were his hidden elite forces. As Yashan was fighting a naval battle, he did not bring them out, so they were perfectly preserved.
In order to capture Song Zhu and defeat Zhang Shijie, he had brought out two thousand heavy cavalrymen, eight thousand light cavalrymen, and ten thousand infantrymen.
Under normal circumstances, such an army would be able to defeat a hundred thousand Song army or even more in a field battle.
He felt that Li Heng's defeat was due to him not being able to use the mobility of the Meng army.
If not, even if the three God Generals were so brave, they would not have been able to kill them. Did they not know how to fly a kite?
Zhang Hongfan's grasp of battle opportunities was really accurate. When the Song army crossed a mountain and arrived at an open area, he chased them. In front of the Song army was a river.
If the Song army crossed the river, the Meng army would be able to kill many people from behind. Walking along the river was the same.
Hence, the Song army could only fight with their backs against the wall.
The battle was extremely tragic. No matter how strong Mo Qiong and the other two were individually, it was impossible for them to kill all twenty thousand people.
Back in Africa, Mo Qiong had gone all out and used a gun. Even after exhausting himself, he only managed to kill a thousand people. That was because he had used all kinds of special characteristics.
Now that they could not use their supernatural powers, it was impossible for them to wipe out the Meng army.
However, in ancient warfare, annihilation and defeat were two completely different concepts.
Morale was the deciding factor.
"Zhang Hongfan! I saw you! " Lord Gou seemed to like this kind of battle very much, fighting with pure muscle. In the past ten years of his captivity, he had never had such an opportunity.
In order to contain them, they had to do everything they could and use all the factors that could be used.
Most of the time, his martial prowess wasn't of much use against anomalies and was only a 'basic attribute'.
At this moment, they were just normal soldiers of South Song. They could do a good job as normal people.
It was different from the conflict with the military in the future world. Back then, they had used abnormal powers, and their hands and feet were tied. In the name of conflict, it was a conflict, but in reality, they had to protect each other.
However, this time was different. This was war, and they no longer had to hold back.
"Hahaha! Who dares to kill me! "Lord Gou roared.
When the Meng army saw that Lord Gou was still charging forward despite being injured, they couldn't help but tremble in fear.
However, there were also some stubborn people. When they saw that Lord Gou was still so arrogant despite being 'heavily injured', they immediately wanted to take his head.
Thus, they shouted, "I dare to kill …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lord Gou had already killed him with a halberd.
Many 'famous generals' were killed by Lord Gou before they could even report their names.
Seeing that he was so brave, the Meng army's morale fell. They had never seen such a terrifying general before. He was simply inhuman.
Zhang Hongfan commanded from the rear and ordered the cavalry to feign defeat and shoot at the Song army.
However, because of Lord Gou's excessive bravery, the feigned defeat almost became a real defeat. The Meng cavalry retreated in panic.
"Shoot him to death!" Zhang Hongfan was overjoyed when he saw that Lord Gou had left the group and was chasing after the Meng army alone.
The Meng army couldn't chase after them. Not only would they not be able to catch up, but they would also be shot full of holes.
Thus, they fired a series of cannons and arrows at Lord Gou.
Lord Gou's halberd danced like a propeller. Although he was hit by dozens of arrows, they all avoided his vitals. He still bravely charged at the arrows.
However, under the barrage of cannons, Lord Gou's horse was finally blown up and died on the spot.
Lord Gou was sent tumbling away by the shock. Then, following the force of the tumbling, he actually stood up again after a few somersaults and chased after him on foot.
In comparison, Zhang Shijie strictly ordered the Song army to maintain their formation and not chase after them.
He knew that facing the Meng army's feigned defeat, they couldn't break their formation. That was because once the heavy cavalry moved out, all they needed to do was charge at them and their ten thousand infantry would be instantly defeated.
So much so that at this moment, there was actually a magnificent feat of a single person chasing after thousands of cavalrymen on foot.
Zhang Hongfan felt embarrassed. He was afraid that the morale of the Song army would collapse, so he quickly ordered the heavy cavalry to attack.
However, their target was not the Song army but Lord Gou.
A general was the courage of an army. Zhang Hongfan felt that killing the Song army's god general would greatly reduce the morale of the Song army. The ten thousand infantry were nothing to worry about and could be easily defeated.
In an instant, the heavy cavalry drowned out Lord Gou.
Zhang Shijie broke out in a cold sweat as he watched. All the soldiers were worried for Lord Gou.
However, the more Lord Gou fought, the braver he became. After killing ten-odd people, he even snatched a horse and threw the heavy cavalry's formation into chaos.
The halberd in his hand shattered, so he could only snatch a scimitar and continue fighting.
At the same time, he shouted, "Attack their flank!"
The Meng army was greatly startled. They looked in Zhang Shijie's direction and discovered that the Song army did not move.
Zhang Hongfan laughed loudly and said to Li Heng, "Everyone says that Zhang Shijie is a famous general …"
"I don't think so. If there is a surprise attack from the flank, they might be able to force me to … what?!"
Although the Song army did not move, a young general charged out from the forest at the side. He held a meteor hammer and charged into the middle of the army from the flank.
Zhang Hongfan was in the middle of the army, surrounded by infantrymen. When this man with a long meteor hammer charged at them, it was as if they were suddenly attacked by an armored cavalry. This caused the infantrymen to fall into chaos, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
"Be careful! They can take the head of a general from an army of ten thousand! "Li Heng exclaimed.
Zhang Hongfan knew that Li Heng had been captured alive before, so he quickly moved to the other side to prevent himself from being killed.
However, when he ran, Jiang Long shouted, "Where is the ambush?!"
"Oh?" Zhang Hongfan was shocked. He saw that there was indeed a small hill beside him.
However, this hill was very small and was not large enough for an ambush. They had already scouted the area and did not find any ambush.
"Ha! How can there be an ambush here?!" Zhang Hongfan said.
Right after he said that, a young general suddenly appeared on the hill. It was Mo Qiong.
He nocked an arrow on his bow and shot down two Meng soldiers.
Before the Meng army could figure out what was going on, they felt arrows raining down. The people around them kept falling.
"Not good! There's an ambush! "a baihu exclaimed.
Zhang Hongfan said angrily, "Shut up! There's only one person!"
"Charge up and kill him!"
The Meng army charged up the hill. Although it was impossible for there to be a large number of ambushers, it was more than enough to ambush one person …
Mo Qiong could be seen shooting arrows non-stop. The rhythm of his firing was unimaginable by the ancients. It was a technique that Lan Baishe had learned from all the archery techniques in the past and present.
He shot arrow after arrow. Within three hundred meters, none of his arrows missed. This time, Mo Qiong did not use any cheats!
All of the arrows landed on the body of the arrow. Once the arrow was shot, it would be completed in an instant. The rest was due to inertia.
He shot two arrows in a second. The three-stone bow was able to pierce through heavy armor. The Meng army could not climb up the hill.
"Is he not tired?"
It was not that the Meng army did not have a godly archer. Some of them could pull the three-stone bow, but they could only shoot four or five arrows.
However, the three-stone bow in Mo Qiong's hands was like a toy. Arrow after arrow, it was stable and accurate.
The Meng soldiers wanted to climb up the hill and counterattack. However, their shooting range was not enough. The arrows either landed in front of Mo Qiong or were easily dodged by him.
Mo Qiong was shooting arrows while walking leisurely on the hillside.
After shooting two arrows, he took a step. After shooting two arrows, he took a step. Under this continuous shooting, he was actually able to suppress an entire army.
"How many arrows does he have left?"
Some of the Meng soldiers saw that Mo Qiong had four quivers. In just a few breaths, he had emptied them.
After Mo Qiong finished shooting, he stopped for a while.
"He is out of arrows!" The Meng army was delighted and increased their speed.
However, two seconds later, he saw Mo Qiong pull out a handcart from the valley behind him …
On the cart, there were ten large baskets of arrows.
"Impossible!" They saw Mo Qiong grin, grabbing an arrow and shooting, not missing a single shot. Their mentality exploded.
A cart full of arrows! This was basically all of the arrows in the camp. If there were a few hundred people here, it was normal to prepare so many arrows.
However, one person actually prepared so many arrows to ambush their army. Could he shoot them all by himself?
How was that possible? Even the best godly archers could only shoot three hundred arrows intermittently. Shooting five hundred arrows would cause their hands to rot.
This cart had at least a thousand arrows. How could one person shoot them all?
However, Mo Qiong once shot eight thousand arrows during his training on the Extreme Island. At that time, he really broke his hand.
However, the goal of the training was to shoot until his hand broke. Then, the doctors on the Extreme Island would heal him …
This was called extreme training.
If his hand did not break, he could not stop. When he was about to go into shock, he had to rely on his willpower to control his strength. Who knew how many times the club members had gone through such training.
Now, these one thousand arrows were just a warm-up for Mo Qiong, whose body had surpassed the limits of the human body.
At this moment, Mo Qiong had only shot three hundred arrows and the morale of the Meng army had collapsed.
Because these three hundred arrows had killed three hundred people!
On the hillside, there were corpses with arrows stuck in them, forming a forest.
