Furthermore, Shan Xiong Xin was extremely loyal and would not use any despicable methods. In war, there was nothing wrong with trickery. If Shan Xiong Xin insisted on using trickery during the decisive battle, wouldn't he be killing thousands of his brothers?
In contrast, Liu Yu was filled with the aura of a king. He exuded a cunning aura and was even willing to use a series of despicable methods in order to win. He would not lose a single opportunity for the sake of his so-called face.
If this kind of person was placed in the forest, he would definitely be despised by many people, but if he was placed in the battlefield, he would definitely be able to turn the tide.
Of course, Liu Yu also hoped that he would be the one to be the commander. However, it was too obvious that he was uncomfortable. He hurriedly waved his hand and said,"Second Brother Dan must be joking. As the saying goes, a strong guest cannot suppress the host. I brought my brothers to look for Second Brother at a difficult time. Second Brother took a huge risk to take us in. Now, how would I dare to covet the position of marshal?”
Shan Xiong Xin shook his head and said," Brother Liu is being too serious. I'm not recommending you out of politeness. It's just that you are indeed more suitable for this position than I am. May I ask who in the world can defeat King Reliance Yang Lin consecutively? And the prerequisite is that the number of troops is 1:20.”
Wang Bodang also said," We are facing a dangerous situation now. Brother Liu is indeed more suitable for this position than Second Brother. Please don't decline and send troops to meet the enemy as soon as possible!"”
Hou Junji and Xie Yingdeng also said,"Marshal, please send troops."”In the blink of an eye, Liu Yu was pushed onto the main stage, and the rest of the people went off the stage.
Tina shuddered and said,""Wang Jun, come forward and listen to my orders!"
"Is Wang Jun here?"
"You will lead 500 of your brothers and bring all the young, old, women, and children of Erxian Village into the mountain. Remember, no matter what, do not go down the mountain to provide support. If it takes too long, you must split up and go down the mountain one at a time to hide.”
"Understood!"
Liu Yu had always thought that the looting of Erxian Manor was a tragic event in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Since she had returned to this era, Liu Yu would never let this tragic thing happen again.
"Xie Yingdeng, Hou Junji, and Xiong Kuohai, listen up!”
"I (I) am here!"
"The three of you will each lead five hundred men to dig a large number of traps every three thousand meters from the forest at the foot of the mountain to the road up the mountain. In addition, bury a large amount of kerosene in the forest in case of emergency.”
Wei Zheng frowned and said,"Marshal, are you preparing to use fire to attack?"”
Liu Yu shook his head." No. I think they already know my tactics too well, so they must be on guard against me using fire attacks. This fire attack will definitely not kill the enemy."”
Wei Zheng understood in the blink of an eye. If the fire and water strategy could not be used, then he could only use kerosene to destroy the mountain and retreat. In other words, Liu Yu had already thought of retreating.
Three days later!
Wu Jianzhang personally led 30,000 troops to set up a battle formation at the foot of the mountain. Liu Yu was not willing to fall behind. He led 1,000 cavalry and 2,000 mountain bandits to set up a battle formation at the foot of the mountain.
These 1,000 cavalry were the only 1,000 remaining soldiers of the 3,000 Chen Kingdom. These people had been through hundreds of battles and their combat strength was abnormally strong. Therefore, with these people by his side, Liu Yu did not seem to feel guilty.
Wu Jianzhang stepped forward with a steel gun in his hand and shouted,"Wu Tianxi, where are you, you little bastard? Get out here right now.”
Liu Yu had taken this into consideration before he went out, so he had Wu Tianxi and Xiong Kuohai switch positions. Now, the people following Liu Yu were Xiong Kuohai, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng frowned and said," Looking at this formation, the Sui soldiers have at most 30,000 people. It seems that Luo Yi hasn't arrived yet. We have time to play with this old man."”
"This person should be Wu Jianzhang, the legendary leader of the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty."”
Shan Xiong Xin laughed coldly, tightly gripping his Zaoyang Spear as he rode his horse forward and shouted,""Great Sui's loyal and filial king, may I know why you have led your troops here?”
Wu Jianzhang was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. The words 'Great Sui's loyal and filial king' meant that Shan Xiongxin did not treat him as a Sui person at all, or rather, he did not have the word 'Sui' in his heart at all.
Wu Jianzhang suppressed his anger and said," Shan Xiongxin, you're a famous hero in the underworld. How dare you take in a traitor and break the law? Now, I order you to hand over the traitor Liu Yu. I'll ask the Emperor to let bygones be bygones."”
Shan Xiongxin simply scoffed. However, because of Wu Jianzhang's polite words, Shan Xiongxin did not get too angry. Instead, he said politely,"Your Highness, the Emperor is ruthless in this world."
"Shut up, this thief is very arrogant, your highness need not say anything more.”A general dashed out in front of Wu Jianzhang and rode his horse forward with a whip. He held a large mountain axe in his hand as he charged at Shan Xiongxin.
"You're courting death!" Shan Xiong Xin snorted coldly, his legs clamped the horse's belly. The horse stood up in pain and swept out with the Zaoyang Spear in his hand.
Bang!
Boom! Shan Xiong Xin's attack was too fast. Before Sui Jiang could react, the Zaoyang Spear had already smashed into the horse's head. The horse neighed in grief and its huge body fell to the ground with a rumble.
The movement was too great, and Sui Jiang, who was riding on the horse, flew out like a sandbag. After falling to the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out like a fountain. He twitched twice and stopped moving.
Everyone's expression changed. Xiong Kuohai shook his head and said,""I've really underestimated him. I didn't expect him to be so powerful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tina immediately rolled her eyes. Could the word 'scoundrel' be used now?
Wu Jianzhang instantly felt as if his head was on fire. He pointed the steel spear in his hand at Shan Xiongxin and said angrily,"I advised you nicely, but I didn't expect you to kill my general in front of the battle. I have to take your head today.”
"Roar ~~~"
"Fight ~~~"
Countless warhorses neighed, accompanied by the screams of the Sui soldiers. Wu Jianzhang had no choice but to ride his horse forward. The Wu Clan's spear technique was one of the best in the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, not only was he not afraid of Shan Xiongxin, but he was also prepared to compete with Shan Xiongxin.
The steel spear drew an arc in the air and smashed towards Shan Xiong Xin. Shan Xiong Xin was young and strong, so how could he be afraid of a fifty year old old man fighting with him? He held the Zaoyang Spear tightly with both hands and blocked the attack.
Clang!
"Roar ~~~"
When the spear and spear clashed, Shan Xiong Xin only felt the warhorse beneath him neighing. He bent his knees and the Zaoyang Spear in his hands fell to the ground.
" Hmph!" Wu Jianzhang snorted." Since you dare to look down on me, I'll make sure you find your teeth on the ground today.”As he spoke, Wu Jianzhang raised his gun and aimed it at Shan Xiongxin's head.
Shan Xiong Xin had yet to recover from the previous attack, so Wu Jianzhang's shot was considered a fatal one.
"Bo Dang, it's up to you now," Liu Yu said anxiously.”
In fact, before Liu Yu had said anything, Wang Bodang was already prepared to attack. Now that Liu Yu had spoken, Wang Bodang's thoughts were interrupted for a moment. However, in this moment of shock, Wu Jianzhang's steel spear was only an inch away from Dan Xiongxin.
