Outside Fengzhou City
, Lin Jiang led the charge again. Two thousand people formed a cone-shaped battle formation, and Lin Jiang was the tip of the cone, forcibly pushing into the coalition camp.
Swords and spears, shattered shields when they touched them
, and
one battle formation after another was broken. Lin Jiang no longer used the tactic of driving away the fleeing soldiers, nor did he stay to kill those soldiers. He rushed straight to the enemy's central army, with the enemy's big banner as a reference.
When breaking the sixth battle formation, there were no soldiers of the Zhenguo Army behind Lin Jiang. They could not keep up with Lin Jiang's pace, and Lin Jiang was not afraid.
He continued to rush forward alone. The eighth battle formation was the last battle formation of the enemy army, and it was also the location of the enemy's most elite troops. There were a thousand people, all of them were warriors. There were more than a hundred warriors above the innate level, and two martial saints were in charge here.
"Stop him, surround and kill him"
"Anyone who kills the traitor Wolong will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins and be made a duke,"
the enemy general said coldly. He still didn't believe that Lin Jiang was immortal. No one was immortal.
Hearing such a generous reward, the eyes of the thousand warriors suddenly turned red. After getting the reward, they would not have to worry about their lives.
The thousand warriors were crazy, and Lin Jiang was also crazy. His internal energy surged out without reservation. The 30-meter-long sword aura was like a long dragon, raging in the crowd. I don't know how many warriors were torn apart before they even saw Lin Jiang's face.
The two martial saints didn't dare to fight Lin Jiang head-on. They hid in the crowd. Just touching Lin Jiang's sword aura made them feel great pressure.
"Why hasn't his internal energy been used up yet?"
After more than half of the thousand people were killed or injured, the two martial saints were shocked. Lin Jiang's internal energy didn't seem to have decreased at all. How could this be possible? With such a violent use, it shouldn't last long.
But Lin Jiang would not answer their questions. He had already discovered the two martial saints hiding in the crowd. Lin Jiang looked for them several times, but they quickly dodged.
Lin Jiang picked up a spear from the ground and threw it at the big banner in front of him. With a bang, the big banner broke in half. Li Xiang and others were shocked.
"Li Xiang, the traitor cannot be killed. We should leave."
"Is there really no chance at all?"
"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Li Xiang, it will be too late if you don't leave now. As long as Li Xiang is still alive, there is still a chance."
"Okay."
Under the persuasion of his subordinates, Li Xiang quietly left under the escort of the guards. Not only did he leave, many people had already left. Only one general was left. He was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. He could not leave. Once he left, he would lose completely.
However, the departure of Li Xiang and others still affected the morale, especially those warriors. They were all hired by high-ranking officials such as Li Xiang. Now that their employers have left, they naturally will not fight desperately anymore. Some people immediately ran away, such as the two martial saints.
Lin Jiang did not chase them, but killed his way to the center of the army. At this time, there was only a golden-armored general and a dozen of his personal soldiers.
The personal soldiers wanted to attack Lin Jiang, but were stopped by the general. He drew his sword and said, "I'd like to ask Mr. Wolong for advice."
"I know you, the Grand Commander of the South of Chen State, a famous general, a loyal minister, you shouldn't die here,"
Lin Jiang said. He knew the identity of this man, called Shi Hu. He was the Grand Commander of the South of Chen State who guarded the eight states in the southwest. He was one of the few famous generals of Chen State, and the only loyal minister of Chen State who was still loyal to Chen State. This man contributed greatly to the King of Dai ascending the throne in Daizhou.
In this battle, Shi Hu's arrangement was impeccable, showing the qualities he should have. In other words, if Lin Jiang had not been too rebellious in this era, he would have been calculated to death.
"Since Mr. Wolong knows that I am a loyal minister, he should know that loyal ministers do not serve two masters."
"Loyal ministers and blind loyalty are two different things. The Chen Kingdom has lasted for 600 years, and it is time to end it
." "Mr. may be right, but for me, I am a man of the Chen Kingdom regardless of life or death. Shi Hu is incompetent and unable to make the Chen Kingdom peaceful and prosperous, so I can only die to repay the favor of the Chen Kingdom. Please help me, sir."
"Since you are determined to die, then I will help you. You make your move."
"Okay."
Shi Hu nodded, and then gathered all his life's skills into the sword in his hand, and chopped it down at Lin Jiang. The sword energy appeared to be more than two meters long. For him, a martial arts master, this is already an extraordinary performance.
Lin Jiang casually slashed with a knife, and the energy was six or seven meters long, which directly annihilated the opponent's sword energy and then submerged Shi Hu.
A dozen of the "general's"
personal soldiers came to kill him, and Lin Jiang also fulfilled their loyalty.
It is impossible for a dynasty of six hundred years to be without a few loyal ministers. Lin Jiang just missed out on talent. If Shi Hu was willing to surrender, his plan would be much smoother.
The command center was destroyed, and the coalition forces were completely destroyed. Even though they were still many in number, they were in great chaos and were eventually defeated.
When the troops of Fengzhou City were also dispatched, the coalition forces completely lost, without any doubt.
········
In the 3860th year of the Xia calendar, the Autumn
War had ended. It lasted only more than a month. Lin Jiang defeated the three-state coalition forces in Fengzhou City, and the troops of Shizhou withdrew.
Mr. Wolong's name was completely spread throughout the world. Some people praised Lin Jiang as the world's number one brave man, not the world's number one master.
There are many masters, but there is no one as brave as Lin Jiang. After dozens of battles, he was the first in every battle. This is not the courage that everyone has.
Many generals were also unstoppable when they were soldiers, but once they were in a high position, they became greedy for life and afraid of death.
Lin Jiang ignored the disturbances from the outside world. After the war, Lin Jiang focused on business operations. Fengzhou and Taizhou suffered huge losses due to the war. Not only was the summer tax delayed, but also the summer planting. Even if the crops were planted in a hurry, the grain production would be reduced this year.
However, Lin Jiang still insisted on collecting only the regular taxes and did not collect any miscellaneous taxes. He was not short of money. If he won the war, there would always be spoils of war. The military pay and military rations brought by the army were all given to the Zhenguo Army. As for the rebellious noble families in Taizhou, Lin Jiang did not let them go and all became the food for the Zhenguo Army.
After two months, Lin Jiang finally sorted out all the affairs. The soldiers who died in the war were heavily compensated, the soldiers who made meritorious services were promoted, and the lost soldiers continued to be recruited.
When the matter was settled, the high-ranking officials of the State Guarding Army were waiting for Lin Jiang to deal with the problem of the State Guarding Army's foothold, because they were now fighting in the name of the State of Chen. Now that the eight states were attacking the territory of the State Guarding Army, would they still fight in this name?
"I know what you are waiting for. Today I will tell you that from tomorrow on, the State Guarding Army will be removed from the name and renamed the Datong Army."
"Datong Army"
"Datong under heaven"
"Yes, it is the Datong Army of Datong under heaven" "
The way of the great Dao is that the world is for the public, and the virtuous and capable are selected..."
Someone read out the article "The Way of the Great Dao" in public. This article was recited by Lin Jiang when he debated with Qiu Zhong in the Chu State Martial Academy. It shocked the world at that time. For thousands of years, it has been regarded as the study of emperors. It is an article that all emperors must learn and is also the goal they pursue.
"The way of the great way, this article is the goal pursued by our Datong Army, and at the same time, we will add a few slogans to drive out the evildoers and return our land to us.
This slogan has been mentioned before, but now, I will officially list it as a compulsory subject for the Datong Army, and all the people of Datong must fight for it"
"General, after tomorrow, we will break with the State of Chen. Then those people under our command..."
"Let them go, after this battle, don't you know that those aristocratic families, those scholars, are unreliable, the only ones who can be relied on are the people, we treat the people sincerely, how can the people not treat us sincerely?"
"Yes, general, do we want to establish a country?"
"Not for the time being, the country name requires sacrifices, and there are no sacrifices yet"
"Sacrifice?"
"Yes, for example, the head of the King of Dai, not only the King of Dai, but also other princes who claim to be emperors. It will not be too late to establish a country after they are eliminated"
Lin Jiang said. Without sacrifices, there is no point in establishing a country, so let's take it slowly.
"Tomorrow we will announce to the world that the Datong Army has been established. At the same
time, we will do the following things. First, we will set up a talent-seeking platform to recruit talents from all over the world. Second, we will establish the Datong Law. Third..." Lin Jiang said to everyone. There are many things to do. Many things were just ideas before, but now they can be implemented. In particular, he knew that the people of Qishan Prefecture spontaneously joined the government to resist the Shizhou army, which moved Lin Jiang very much.
He felt the long-lost power, the power from the people, which gave Lin Jiang a new impetus and made his actions more radical. Come on, let Lin Jiang end this period of chaos.
