C363 Threat
Chang Wei said anxiously, "But Lyu Hong. . . !"
"We can save him at any time. Chang Wei said. " Bao Hong sighed and said in his heart, "This battle is very important. Before the marshal wakes up, regardless of victory or defeat, We should wait and see. We can't let Yelv Cheng see anything. If we go over now, perhaps you can save Lyu Hong's life. But at the same time, Yelv Cheng had no scruples. At that time, with his murderous intent, who in our army can stop him? Don't forget. . . In our hands, we still control the lives of thousands of soldiers. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted!"
Sensing the severity of the situation, Chang Wei was instantly speechless. He was unwilling to admit defeat. "I. . . But. . . !"
"I understand your feelings, but now. . . Brother Chang, please consider the bigger picture. This matter concerns the safety of my Great Chu. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will not be something that the two of us can bear!" Bao Hong's face darkened. His tone was cold to the extreme. His sharp eyes gave people an indescribable sense of oppression. Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken. . . Chang Wei immediately let out a roar of pain, then he and his horse obediently retreated to the side. He didn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Bao Hong couldn't help but sigh. As for the calm expression on his face, it wasn't that he was inhumane. The emergency did not allow him to relax for a moment. How could Bao Hong have a heart of stone? Seeing Lyu Hong's every step after he fell, his heart did not feel any better than Chang Wei's. However, it was not the time for love. If Yelv Cheng could see the guilt in his side, The Barbarian Army's attack would only become more and more relentless. At that time, it would be a small matter for them to sacrifice their lives for the country. If the Marshal died here, it would be an inestimable loss for the Great Chu. Thinking of what Doctor Jie had told him to delay the battle, Bao Hong silently clenched his fists. He ordered left and right, "Pass on my order, Zheng Hao and Lyu Hong have already led the first battle. They have shouldered the heavy responsibility of raising the morale of our army. It concerns the honor and disgrace of Great Chu. No one is allowed to interfere, even if the two of them are unfortunately killed. That was because the two of them were not as skilled as the others, and they couldn't blame anyone else. If it wasn't my order, no one was allowed to provide assistance without my permission. Anyone who violates the order will be executed! "
Bao Hong's voice spread out very quickly. Everyone who heard his words gasped. Although they didn't understand why Bao Hong suddenly became so cold, the military order was as heavy as a mountain. No matter how puzzled and unwilling they were, at this moment, they could only forcefully suppress the impulse in their hearts to attack and observe the situation.
On the battlefield, Lyu Hong's situation was getting worse and worse. In the face of Jin Yunlie's fierce attack, it seemed like he only had the ability to struggle at death's door. On the other side, although Tuoba Chong was also no match for Zheng Hao, He was not like Lyu Hong, who had fallen into a passive position. Looking at him from afar, he looked like a lone boat sailing in the raging waves. There was a risk that he would fall at any time.
Seeing Lyu Hong's performance getting worse and worse, Yelv Cheng couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look into the interior of the Chu Army. He saw Bao Hong sitting in the middle with a face as calm as water. There was no sign of panic on his face. He immediately became suspicious. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? The Chu Army had never suffered any serious injuries or Dou Tianlai was safe and sound. Otherwise, how could Hidden Dragon be so calm? Was it a disguise? No, he must have had something to rely on!
Doubt was always the common problem for smart people. Although Yelv Cheng clearly knew that Hidden Dragon was most likely bluffing him, seeing his opponent's calm and unhurried manner from beginning to end, Yelv Cheng was still somewhat uncertain. In fact, If Bao Hong had shown any guilty expression just now, Yelv Cheng was afraid that he would not hesitate at all. What he feared the most was this kind of commonly seen situation. Bao Hong's tactic of using an unchanging tactic to deal with changes had completely messed up Yelv Cheng's plan.
"Commander, it's about time for the military advisor to tell us what to do. Should we launch a large-scale attack and capture all the remaining Chu Army in one fell swoop?"
Seeing that the time was approaching, Lu Xun, the commander of the sixth legion of the Barbarian Army, immediately asked Yelv Cheng for help.
Yelv Cheng thought for a moment when he heard this. His eyes were focused on Bao Hong, but he quickly withdrew them. He waved his hand coldly and said, "Wait a little longer. I want to see how long you can hold on. Hidden Dragon, how long can you hold on?"
"Chi!"
The sound of a sharp blade piercing through bone could be clearly heard. Lyu Hong was one step slower on the battlefield. Jin Yunlie turned his spear and pierced through Lyu Hong's chest. Jin Yunlie stirred his spear and lifted Lyu Hong high into the sky in the direction of the Chu Army. The provocation was obvious.
"Lyu Hong!"
"Commander Lu!"
. . .
Seeing this infuriating scene, Chang Wei and the others couldn't help but shout out. Among them, Zheng Hao's reaction was the most intense. With a shake of his long spear, he unleashed a tremendous force that sent Tuoba Chong and his horse flying a few meters away. Then, the tip of the spear turned and rushed towards Jin Yunlie like a bolt of lightning. He said angrily, "How dare you! Quickly put my brother down!"
Among the ten generals, he was the closest to Lyu Hong. The two of them were from the same hometown. Lyu Hong had worked under Zheng Hao for many years. After he had made great contributions to the military, he was promoted to a commander. However, he did not expect that it would only be Lyu Hong's first year as a commander. He actually. . .
Zheng Hao had never hated himself for being useless like today!
Thinking about it carefully, between the two of them, although they were not brothers, they were like brothers. Zheng Hao was an orphan. In the depths of his heart, he had long since become an orphan. He treated this cheerful kid like his own brother. Now that he saw that his only family member had been provoked to the point of wanting to be humiliated and killed in the sky, he no longer had any rationality in his head. All he could do was burn with raging flames of anger, wishing that he could burn everything down.
"Zheng Hao!" Jin Yunlie held Lyu Hong with one hand and said with a hideous smile, "Don't you Ten Direction Commanders think highly of yourselves? Didn't you always look down on us barbarians? How is it now? You still fell into my hands! You still call yourselves the masters of the Chu Kingdom? Bah! I was wondering what kind of abilities you have, but now it seems like you're nothing more than this, haha!"
Due to the severity of his actions, Lyu Hong couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Zheng Hao couldn't help but become even more furious. He couldn't help but roar, "Jin Yunlie, if I don't kill you today, I swear I won't be human!"
"Kill me?" Jin Yunlie immediately sneered. "That depends on whether you have the ability or not. As for now, if you dare to take another step forward. . . I'm going to kill this kid! "
Zheng Hao suddenly stopped. He took a deep breath and looked at Jin Yunlie calmly. "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Jin Yunlie grinned and said with a playful smile, "It's very simple. I want you to. . . Commit suicide!"
