Yang Feng had fought with Zhang He and Gao Lan before, and knew that either of them was as powerful as he was when he was fully victorious.
If she were to fight alone, with her peak condition and full-strength breathing techniques, she might be able to gain the upper hand within dozens of rounds. But now, she has not yet recovered from old and new injuries, and is no longer as good as usual.
The only chance is to take advantage of the downward momentum and find a way to seriously injure at least one person in order to resolve today's situation!
But seeing that the two men were wearing tight iron armor, Yang Feng was afraid that there might be another layer of protection inside. He sighed inwardly, and rushed to a dozen feet in front of the two men. He stretched out a spear from behind and pierced their throats!
Zhang He and Gao Lan knew that if they were not careful, their lives would be decided in an instant, so they did not dare to be careless and held their ring-handled swords horizontally to protect their faces.
Ding ding ding, a series of sparks rang out along with the sound of clashing. Zhang He and Gao Lan were guarding perfectly. The impact force from Yang Feng's spear knocked the two men back, but their thighs were tightly hooked around the spear shaft and they did not take a single step back.
Although Yang Feng relied on the length of his spear, he was unable to break into the opponent's weapon circle. He knew that the opponent was a famous general with real talent, far from being comparable to Yuan Xi and Sun Li, a pair of idiots who could only use deception.
Now she has tried her best, but if she cannot break through the opponent's circle, she will be the one to die after she is exhausted!
Her chest kept rising and falling. She had pushed her breathing method to the extreme. She felt as if her chest would explode at any time. Her mouth and nostrils were filled with the smell of blood. This was because she had used too much force, and the recoil force of the opponent's weapon had broken her tongue and lips, and blood was flowing freely in her mouth.
Yang Feng desperately urged her arms to shoot out with all her might, but her downward momentum had been completely blocked by Zhang He and Gao Lan. Dozens of moves passed in an instant, and Yang Feng's movements began to slow down.
Zhang He and Gao Lan saw that Yang Feng was showing signs of fatigue and immediately started to counterattack!
The two men's long swords pierced through the shadow of Yang Feng's spear and slashed Yang Feng's shoulder fiercely. Although the armor blocked it, Yang Feng still staggered. How could Zhang He and Gao Lan miss this opportunity? They stabbed Yang Feng's head with their swords together.
Yang Feng's ears were buzzing, and the figure in front of her eyes seemed to start to change into several. She bit her tongue hard, her body suddenly floated up, and two knives brushed past her nose.
Before her body hit the ground, she fired a shot with her backhand, piercing the ground!
With a "puff", the tip of the gun that Gao Lan had inserted into the ground was picked up by Yang Feng. Gao Lan's body lost support and fell backwards.
This was completely beyond Gao Lan's expectations. As he fell over and tried to steady himself, Yang Feng had already crashed into his arms, and the two of them fell down the mountain path together.
Gao Lan was shocked. It was obvious that Yang Feng wanted to fall off the mountain with him!
Zhang He was so busy that he slashed at Yang Feng's back with his sword, but was blocked by his armor. Seeing that Yang Feng and Gao Lan were about to roll down the mountain, he shouted, "Lie down!"
Gao Lan subconsciously hooked his feet on the ground and fell backwards, making way for Yang Feng.
The next moment, a huge axe came down hard and hit Yang Fengshang, knocking him flying backwards!
It turned out that Wen Chou arrived in time. He was afraid of hurting Gao Lan, so he used the axe to hit horizontally. If he had used a chopping attack, Yang Feng would probably have been beheaded.
But even so, the huge force still knocked Yang Feng away. She spat out blood in the air, her consciousness began to blur, and when she landed, she had already fainted.
Zhang He was overjoyed and was about to draw his sword and rush forward, but he saw dozens of Black Mountain soldiers behind him rushing towards him like crazy, vowing to push him off the hillside!
Zhang He cursed inwardly, "You lunatic, remnant of the Yellow Turbans, aren't you afraid of death?"
The next moment, he was submerged in the crowd. The Black Mountain Army soldiers rushed down the slope and directly into the Jizhou army formation. The soldiers of the two sides suddenly collided violently.
The Jizhou army had nowhere to hide on the mountain road and was knocked to the ground and rolled down the hillside by dozens of fearless Black Mountain soldiers. Their screams were heard all the way. By the time both sides rolled to the bottom of the mountain, they had already died and turned into corpses.
Zhang He wiped the blood off his face. The moment he was knocked down, he stabbed the tree trunk with his knife so that he did not roll down. When he looked at Yang Feng, he found that he had been dragged back by the Black Mountain Army soldiers.
Afterwards, the soldiers of both sides fought together again, but the main generals on both sides were in a miserable state and could not go on the field for a while, and the situation became stalemate again.
Yuan Xi put down the telescope and said to Lu Lingqi beside him: "How is it?"
Lu Lingqi looked for a while longer before putting down the telescope and saying, "I'm not as good as her."
"I don't know why she could do this."
"If I were in this situation, I would definitely not face this inevitable defeat and fight with three powerful enemies."
She was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "If you were in danger, I might rush over."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi reached out and held Lv Lingqi's hand. Lv Lingqi felt her cheeks getting hot. She shook it twice but failed to break free. Just as she was about to complain, she heard Yuan Xi sigh, "I feel so sorry for you."
"Because I asked myself this question just now, and I found that I couldn't answer it."
"As the commander of an army, I am responsible for everyone, so I am not sure if I can risk my life to save you if you are in danger on the battlefield."
"That's why I don't want you to come to the battlefield."
Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, "Don't be so self-indulgent. This is the path I chose myself. I won't regret it even if I die!"
"And with your ability, you still have the nerve to say you're coming to save me?"
Yuan Xi touched his nose awkwardly, "My wife once said that she only cares about me, but I have to face many people."
"So sometimes I wonder, for all the women around me, it's actually sometimes very unfair to them."
"I don't know what the future will be like, but if you follow me, you may suffer a lot. It's not too late to regret going back to Huaicheng now."
Lu Lingqi turned her head with a smile on her face, and suddenly her expression changed. She punched Yuan Xi in the stomach, "You've already touched me, and you still want to regret it?"
"Shame on you!"
The punch was extremely powerful. Even through the armor, it still made Yuan Xi's stomach churn and he quickly begged for mercy.
Lu Lingqi clapped her hands in satisfaction, "Don't mention it again, or I'll move my fist down five inches next time."
Yuan Xi broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed the subject, "It's really strange that Yang Feng could do this."
"I still don't understand why she hates me so much and why she is so desperate to take her own life."
"Obviously there is something that motivated her to do this. I wonder if she was brainwashed by the Taiping Dao."
Lu Lingqi said: "Catch her and interrogate her?"
Yuan Xi thought about it and shook his head, "This person is too dangerous. If we try to catch her, I don't know how many people will die."
"The lives of our enemies are far less valuable than our own."
"Besides, she might be involved in Qu Yi's death."
When Lu Lingqi heard Qu Yi's name, her face darkened. "In that case, I will find a chance to capture her and kill her, and bring her head to Master's grave to pay tribute."
"From what I've seen of her movements, she's not as good as before. It's obvious that her internal injuries haven't healed yet. Plus, she was seriously injured this time, so she's no longer a threat."
Yuan Xi sighed, "Although this victory was not fair, on the battlefield it's a matter of life and death, there are no such rules. But you must be careful and don't be careless."
"Even with Zhang He's ability, he was almost dragged down by her just now. I fought with him several times and found that her strength would suddenly increase and her movements would suddenly speed up, which was very difficult to defend against."
Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "I also found out. Later, I asked my father about it. He said that there are some simple methods that can be done, but they are quite harmful to the body and are not the right way to practice martial arts. He did not explain it to me in detail."
Yuan Xi thought to himself, is there really such a method?
Why does it sound so familiar?
He was suddenly startled, thinking of Taishi Ci's double-halberd martial arts performance in Guangling, and fell into deep thought.
At Qu'a, the capital of Wu County, Sun Ce was hosting a banquet for his generals.
Amid the sound of string and wind instruments played by a group of female musicians, he was in high spirits, holding a wine jug in one hand and a long spear in the other, and rushing quickly in the hall. The long spear in his hand danced like a wheel, and the wind made a shrill sound, but not a drop of wine was spilled in the wine jug in his other hand.
Everyone cheered loudly. Zhou Yu drank two cups, took advantage of the situation, stood up, and danced with Sun Ce.
Everyone was in a very good mood. After taking down Wu County, they could then go on to encroach on the counties of Kuaiji and Yuzhang, and then occupy Yangzhou and become a local lord!
Sun Ce had long wanted to break away from Yuan Shu and establish his own regime, but due to Yuan Shu's great power, he dared not act. Now that he has conquered Wujun and is taking advantage of the Yangtze River, even if he establishes his own regime in the future, Yuan Shu will not be able to do anything to him.
Zhou Yu and the other generals understood this truth very well, and in their opinion, Sun Ce had the potential to be a more dominant leader than Sun Jian. If they assisted him, they would surely achieve great things in the future!
Soon after the song ended, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu put away their weapons, laughed at each other, and returned to their seats to drink three cups.
Sun Ce laughed and said, "Gong Jin, did you ever imagine this day?"
"In the past, when the Sun family spoke in a humble manner, many of the noble families in Wu County were disrespectful. If the young man Ce did not have Gongjin's help, I am afraid that all would be unhappy."
"Now that I am in control of Wu County, I have to settle accounts with these arrogant bastards."
Zhou Yu heard this and advised: "Bofu, if you want to achieve great things, you can't act on impulse."
"Taking the example of Cao Cao killing Bian Rang as a warning, Bofu should think twice before acting."
Sun Ce didn't care at all and said, "Why bring up these things? Let's drink!"
Seeing that Sun Ce would not listen, Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Bofu, if you kill everyone, who will help you?"
"Which monarch of all dynasties did not start to slowly clean up the court officials after unifying the country?"
"I heard that Bofu has imprisoned a group of nobles. If they are not guilty of extremely serious crimes, it is better to treat them leniently."
"Especially Xu Gong and others, who submitted a petition to the Han court to request a reward for Bofu, so why did Bofu arrest them as well?"
Sun Ce snorted coldly, "Gongjin, you don't know that Xu Gong wants me to serve as an official in the Han court. Doesn't this mean he wants me to leave Wujun?"
"This is obviously Yuan Shu's man. If I don't kill him, I'm not clear-minded!"
Zhou Yu sighed, "That being said, it is not appropriate to kill him. Moreover, I heard that Yinhu wrote a letter to Bofu, advising him not to kill Xu Gong, otherwise there will be disasters."
