Wen Shihong could no longer hold on and fell forward, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
"Hahaha!"
Yuwen Chenglong gripped the blood-stained spear and laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.
He laughed wildly, laughed unrestrainedly, laughed until tears almost came out.
In the past, he was always the one who served as a foil for the enemy on the battlefield, being chased and beaten.
Not only was he humiliated and ridiculed by the enemy, but even his own family looked down on him, thinking he was useless and a burden.
Now, he has finally stood up!
Being able to swagger around on the battlefield without restraint, with no one able to do anything to you or stop you!
"What a show-off."
Seeing this scene, Lü Xiao immediately commented from the bottom of his heart, his lips twitching slightly.
Fortunately, Yuwen Chenglong only had the power of one elephant. If he had the power of four elephants, wouldn't he be able to ascend to the heavens?
We mustn't tear a hole in the sky!
"You scoundrel..."
Zhao Chong, Gao Le, and other generals of the Red Vanguard Army also expressed their sincere admiration for Yuwen Chenglong.
It was a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment, a complex mix of emotions.
Even Yuwen Chenglong, who was once a formidable opponent, struggled to defeat them, resorting to underhanded and despicable tactics.
Who would have thought that one day, this guy would have an epiphany and soar to great heights.
It is said that a deity entered his dream, not only increasing his strength but also teaching him a set of exquisite marksmanship.
In their opinion, even the gods were blind.
Of all the talented people out there, and all the promising young talents to choose from, they had to pick Yuwen Chenglong, this scourge.
"I'll kill, kill, kill..."
After his wild laughter subsided, Yuwen Chenglong didn't forget to get down to business and continued his charge, like a tiger among sheep.
His superhuman strength all came from Lü Xiao, a gift from the prince.
At this moment, we must be loyal and dutiful, repay the prince's kindness, and kill him without leaving a single survivor.
"Your Highness, you've won again!"
Li Jing arrived at Lü Xiao's place and reported to him, a smile on his face and a relaxed tone.
During these days of fighting, he has said it countless times, his lips are worn out from talking so much.
In short, with Lü Xiao in the fight, they won even faster, sweeping away all opposition and advancing with unstoppable momentum.
They still won even without Lü Xiao, just a little slower.
"Let the soldiers rest for a while. Tomorrow, we'll head straight for Jiangling City and capture Xiao Xian alive."
As far as Lü Xiao could see, all he could see were Xiao Xian's soldiers kneeling and begging for mercy.
"promise!"
Li Jing responded and led his men to arrange the aftermath, take stock of the battle results, gather the surrendered soldiers, and set up camp.
As night fell, all the banners of Xiao Xian's water fortress were cut down and torn to shreds.
They were all adorned with Lü-character flags, which fluttered majestically in the evening breeze.
Inside the main tent, Lü Xiao listened to the battle report and was quite satisfied with the casualties in this battle.
They won almost all of their victories, with minimal losses that were negligible and not worth mentioning.
The warships suffered the most severe damage.
Li Jing recklessly used it to ram the enemy's water fortress, smashing it to pieces and sinking most of it, with broken planks floating on the river.
"Your Highness, you've won, so why aren't you smiling?"
Yuwen Chenglong held a wine gourd, drinking as he asked, his face full of confusion and his eyes blurry with drunkenness.
"If you dare to drink alcohol in the village again, get out and stop getting in the way."
Lu Xiao glanced at Yuwen Chenglong. This guy, ever since he learned the Drunken Spear technique, has become a drunkard, always with a bottle in his hand.
Drink a pot of wine before a battle to bolster your courage.
We'd drink a pot of wine while we were playing, to liven things up.
After the fight, we should drink a pot of wine to celebrate.
He's drunk all day long, never serious, and it's annoying to look at.
"Liquor is like an old hero; the more you drink, the more vigorous you become..."
Yuwen Chenglong put down the wine pot, but muttered to himself. Although his voice was soft, it was enough for the people in the tent to hear him clearly.
He looked unconvinced and had a lot of doubts in his mind.
I don't understand, the prince doesn't understand him at all.
If he doesn't drink this wine, his martial prowess will be greatly diminished, and he won't be able to unleash his drunken spear technique.
This wine is his lifeblood.
"Your Highness, this is not the first time he has violated military discipline."
Li Jing added insult to injury without making a sound, his tone calm but every word piercing the heart.
Drinking alcohol is forbidden in the army; military discipline is as strict as a mountain, and even Lü Xiao is no exception, setting an example for others.
However, Yuwen Chenglong disregarded military orders, drinking whenever he wanted, treating military discipline as a joke, and turning the main tent into a tavern.
"Isn't it enough that I can kill the enemy?"
When Yuwen Chenglong saw Li Jing complaining again, he was extremely indignant and said with a stiff neck and a righteous tone.
He can kill enemies and make meritorious contributions. What's wrong with having a little wine? It didn't cause any problems.
"You're the only one killing, but none of us are?"
The turtle added insult to injury, speaking in a muffled voice.
He wanted to avenge Yuwen Chenglong's earlier act of stealing credit and kicking him.
He, Ao Yu, also killed enemies and made contributions, so why should Yuwen Chenglong be given special treatment?
"General, please say something."
Yuwen Chenglong watched helplessly as Yu Juluo picked up his wine, secretly sipped it, and tried to win over an ally.
"I...I'm old, I shake if I don't drink..."
When Yu Juluo saw everyone looking at him, he began to explain, looking completely innocent, and even deliberately trembled his hands twice as proof.
He's old and in poor health, so it's perfectly reasonable for him to have a little wine to warm himself up, right?
"Pharmacist, send someone to inquire about Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi."
Lu Xiao watched the old man and the young man clown around, chatting and making a ruckus.
Not wanting to waste any more words, he turned to Li Jing and gave him instructions.
"it is good."
Li Jing nodded, noted the matter down, and prepared to send someone to investigate.
Lü Xiao had met Li Yuanba and Wu Yunzhao.
He had met almost all of these capable fighters and knew them well.
Only Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi have remained silent, as if they have vanished into thin air.
The two men were nowhere to be found in Siping Mountain, nor in Jingzhou, nor in Hebei or Dengzhou.
Even if he racked his brains, he still couldn't guess where the two people had gone.
"Your Highness, are these two people formidable?"
Yuwen Chenglong leaned closer and asked, his face full of curiosity.
After all, anyone who can catch Lü Xiao's attention must be quite capable and not an ordinary person.
"Better than you."
Lu Xiao said casually, without even lifting his eyelids.
"They are indeed not weak..." Yuwen Chenglong nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Will the Prince of Dai encounter them?"
His thoughts were similar to Lü Xiao's; they had fought so many battles, campaigning in the north and south, yet they had never seen these two.
Perhaps these two are in the Northwest, and have joined Xue Ju.
What you said makes sense.
Lu Xiao frowned, his heart sinking.
Perhaps these two were on the Northwest battlefield, under Xue Ju's command.
If that's the case, things will be bad for Yang You.
"Your Highness, it's alright, I'm here!"
Yuwen Chenglong waved his hand, his face full of invincibility and heroic spirit.
What are Xiong Kuohai and Wu Tianxi? If I happen to encounter them, I'll just kill them with one shot and let them see how powerful Yuwen Chenglong is.
