"Wang Zhonghou, things have come to this point, and I don't want to waste any more words with you. Now that Yandu has undergone tremendous changes, even that brat Lin Yu has become a rebel. In the end, this world belongs to the aristocratic families. A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise man knows when to yield. You don't want your lifelong reputation as Wang Zhonghou to be tarnished by a rebel, do you? I advise you to step aside quickly and come with me to suppress the rebels. Maybe you can still keep your position as military governor!"
Lü Yanlong persuaded loudly.
In fact, he did not want Wang Zhonghou to be swayed by him at all.
On the contrary, if Wang Zhonghou stood with Lin Yu, then he could raise the banner and rightfully wage war against Wang Zhonghou.
Imagine, I, a subordinate, went to war with my superior to kill the rebels. What courage and merit that is! I'm sure Yandu will reward me after everything is over.
At the very least, he would be a marquis, a hereditary title that would bring glory to his ancestors!
As expected, Wang Zhonghou did not disappoint him.
“We are not on the same path, so we cannot work together. I will never collude with you, don’t even think about it! I have brought my troops here today to stop you from leaving Shanghai! I will not let you cut off Marshal Lin’s retreat!” Wang Zhonghou said firmly.
Lu Yanlong sneered, "Wang Zhonghou, you really are stubborn and incorrigible. Do you really want to be a traitor? You should know that Lin Yu is completely finished this time, with absolutely no chance of making a comeback!"
Wang Zhonghou smiled coldly, "As the saying goes, evil cannot prevail over good. You traitors who have stolen the country, even if you temporarily gain the upper hand in public opinion, you will fall one day! Young Marshal Lin is the chosen one, and he will crush all your conspiracies sooner or later!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Lu Yanlong suddenly burst into laughter, then his face slowly darkened. "Old man, you're really foolish! Even at this point, you still can't see reality! Do you know why I hate you? If you had listened to me and joined the Ancient Martial Arts Alliance with me, you would be the Lord of the South by now. You didn't take the broad road, you insisted on crossing the narrow bridge! You brought this on yourself, so don't blame me!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Lü Yanlong stopped wasting words with Wang Zhonghou and turned to walk towards his own troops.
Back in the ranks, he stood on the command vehicle and shouted, "Wang Zhonghou, the military governor of Nanjing, supports the rebel Lin Yu and is blocking my righteous army from leaving Shanghai. He is a henchman of the rebels. I, Lü Yanlong, have been appointed by Heaven to kill Wang Zhonghou and quell the southern banditry. Are all soldiers willing to fight alongside me?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The word "kill" echoed across the sky and resounded on both banks of the Huangpu River.
Rolling wheels, battle tanks, and amphibious armored vehicles all arrived at the riverbank, ready to go.
Just then, the sound of a steam whistle came from the river.
Several warships came downstream and anchored upstream, their cannons all pointed at Lü Yanlong's troops.
Meanwhile, on the riverbank, rows of infantry were rapidly advancing, flanking Lü Yanlong's left flank.
Fang Zhonghe has arrived, leading his troops to encircle us from the direction of Hunshan!
If Lü Yanlong dares to make a move, he will be attacked from both sides, putting him at a significant disadvantage.
"Old man, it's been so many years since you fought a war, yet your skill in troop deployment is as good as ever!" Lu Yanlong said through gritted teeth.
"Hmph! As long as you stay in Shanghai obediently, I won't do anything to you. But if you insist on crossing the river, I guarantee I'll annihilate you, body and soul!"
Wang Zhonghou snorted coldly and led two generals back to the other side of the bridge.
"Seal off the entire bridge! Not even a fly will be allowed to fly to the other side!"
With Wang Zhonghou's order, the bridgehead was immediately blocked by armored vehicles, and the atmosphere became tense.
There's always the possibility of an accidental clash!
Lu Yanlong took a deep breath and said coldly, "Old man, do you think I really want to start a firefight with you?"
"Esteemed seniors, please come out!"
"Lu Yanlong said in a deep voice."
Knock knock!
Immediately, several tall figures in black robes walked up from behind.
These people were all dressed in black robes and wore white masks. Each of them possessed an exceptionally powerful aura.
The leader, in particular, had an unpredictable and elusive aura, making him even more unfathomable.
These ten people were naturally borrowed by Lü Yanlong from ancient martial arts families.
Gu Wu, now that Lin Yu has put them in such a passive position, naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity and sent experts over.
Especially the leading man, whose aura had already vaguely touched the Saint Realm, a true half-saint powerhouse.
"Lu Yanlong, I said before that I would only make a move once!"
Lu Yanlong said respectfully, "Senior, there's no need for you to take action for now. I know the experts around Wang Zhonghou very well. There are indeed a few martial arts masters among them, but they are definitely no match for you seniors!"
The man in the black robe nodded and sat down on a grand chair to the side.
He then ordered the other men in black robes, "Open up the bridge for me. If any of Wang Zhonghou's men dare to obstruct us, kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
Wow!
A murderous aura soared to the sky.
In an instant, all the men in black robes erupted!
His blood and qi surged like a rainbow, and nine streams of rich true qi shot into the sky, as if they were going to punch a hole in the heavens!
The nine of them ran together toward the other side of the bridge!
"Commander, this is bad! Lü Yanlong has sent martial arts experts! It's too dangerous here. You should go back to camp!"
The deputy general advised Wang Zhonghou.
Wang Zhonghou, with a resolute expression, coldly declared, "I, Wang Zhonghou, have been leading armies and fighting for decades. Do you think I'm afraid of a few江湖人 (jianghu people, martial arts practitioners)? Send the elite cavalry to attack! Today, I will stand here and live or die with my soldiers!"
"yes!"
brush!
At Wang Zhonghou's command, a line of golden-armored warriors immediately charged forward.
There were about a hundred of these golden-armored warriors, but each of them possessed a powerful aura.
