Boom!
The Pujiang Bridge hums softly.
This is a war without gunfire.
But hand-to-hand combat among martial arts masters is often more terrifying than war with gunpowder!
Pfft!
A powerful member of the elite guerrilla unit was ambushed by a black-robed martial arts master and instantly exploded into a bloody mist, shattering the already precarious formation.
The black-robed masters fought with increasing ferocity, tearing a gap in the battle formation to finish off the elite sniper squad!
Pfft!
One of the Sharp Knife Company's martial arts masters had his chest pierced through. Originally, they only had three martial arts masters, and with one of them falling, their formation completely collapsed.
Two martial arts masters, armed with sharp knives, fought and retreated along with the others.
The situation is showing a one-sided trend.
"General, the spearhead unit has suffered a defeat. Let's retreat. Then have the artillery regiment blow up the bridge. Maybe we can hold out for a while longer!" the deputy general urged Wang Zhonghou.
"Refund my ass!"
Wang Zhonghou's face was filled with determination. "Get the whole artillery company up there! I'll hold the bridge to the death today and buy time for Marshal Lin!"
"Commander, we don't have much time left. Now that Young Marshal Lin has been labeled a traitor, he... he probably won't be able to turn things around!"
Snap!
Wang Zhonghou slapped him hard across the face.
"Young Marshal Lin is not a traitor. Anyone who dares to disrupt the morale of the army shall be executed!"
Wang Zhonghou is determined to defend the Pujiang Bridge today!
Boom!
The artillery regiment has moved up, and they are ready to launch an artillery bombardment as soon as the spearhead company withdraws.
However, the black-robed masters on the other side were not fools. They actually stuck to the spearhead company, preventing it from opening up distance, thus preventing the artillery regiment from bombarding them.
"General, there's no way to issue the bombardment order right now. For your safety, we should retreat!" the lieutenant said anxiously again.
He didn't care whether the war was won or lost; he was only worried about the safety of the old marshal.
As long as a person is alive, there is still a chance; if a person is gone, what can they use to make a comeback?
"If you dare to spout nonsense again, believe me, I'll kill you!"
Wang Zhonghou was furious.
The plan this time is to protect the Jiangpu Bridge.
If he can't hold the bridge, it will be a failure for him.
This would put Lin Yu in a situation where he is attacked from both sides.
He knew perfectly well how powerful Fei Dong was. If he couldn't stop Lü Yanlong, he would have no choice but to atone with his death!
"Old Marshal, I apologize for any offense done for your safety!"
"Men, take the old general away!"
At the deputy general's command, several soldiers immediately lifted Wang Zhonghou up and prepared to retreat.
"What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!!"
Wang Zhonghou roared angrily, never expecting that his subordinates would disobey his orders.
Boom!
Just then, a violent shockwave occurred ahead, and the entire elite detachment was blown apart.
More than ten figures were instantly sent flying back.
Immediately afterwards, several figures in black robes arrived in front of them.
"Heh heh! I've killed so many people in my life, but I've never killed a warlord before! Now I'm going to have a taste of something new!"
A man in black robes let out a strange laugh and then flew towards the front of the formation.
"Protect the old marshal!"
The lieutenant's face paled, and he shouted loudly.
Several guards immediately rushed forward, one after another.
But how could he possibly be a match for a martial arts master? He was instantly reduced to a bloody mist.
"Old Marshal!"
Finally, the deputy took over, but it was no use. A mortal body is like paper to a martial arts master.
This is the tragedy of mortal beings.
Bang!
Wang Zhonghou's old face was covered in drops of blood.
They watched helplessly as the black-robed figure attacked.
He knew there was no escaping it.
Father!
I lost in the end.
I thought I was the emperor's spear, able to buy time for Marshal Lin.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't even defeat a traitorous general.
It was not a fault of the war effort!
Wang Zhonghou looked saddened.
He watched as the black-robed claws grew larger in front of him.
"You wretched child, don't you dare touch the old general!"
boom!
At the critical moment, several tall figures descended and stood directly in front of Wang Zhonghou.
With an imposing aura and rainbow-like true energy, a wall of energy was formed in front, intercepting all the attacks from the black-robed group!
Boom!
The group immediately stood together.
The newcomers, being fresh blood and exceptionally strong, had a clear advantage and successfully drove the black-robed men back onto the bridge.
Wang Zhonghou couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the situation took a turn for the better.
"Whose subordinates are these, that they are so brave!" Wang Zhonghou couldn't help but ask.
Da da da!
At this moment, Fang Zhonghe and his men came from the side to provide support, surrounding Wang Zhonghou completely.
"General, they should be from the ancient martial arts Tantai family!" Fang Zhonghe said, his eyes gleaming.
He was in charge of the intelligence of the Jinling Army, so he could recognize these people immediately.
"The Tantai family?"
Wang Zhonghou looked on in astonishment, "Isn't the Tantai family also a family of ancient martial arts practitioners? They actually helped me fight Lü Yanlong?"
Fang Zhonghe smiled wryly and said, "You don't know this. Ancient martial arts families are not monolithic. During the time that Young Marshal Lin was in Shanghai, he was adept at playing both sides, befriending distant and attacking nearby forces. He won over the Tantai family and suppressed the Murong and Shangguan families. Now that the Murong clan has been wiped out and the Shangguan family has been destroyed, it is probably because the Tantai family was intimidated by Young Marshal Lin's strength and took the initiative to help him!"
Actually, this was just a guess.
Is that really the truth?
Although the Tantai family was intimidated by Lin Yu, they maintained a neutral stance and did not want to make enemies with other ancient martial arts families.
