Chapter 681 Many old friends came!
Yang Chengye rode a tall horse, wearing heavy armor, and led a thousand heavily armored cavalrymen, charging headlong into the formation of Emperor Tianwu’s personal army.

His horse was a really tall horse, with a shoulder height of more than two meters. However, the shoulder height of a war horse was not much lower than that of an ordinary cavalryman. When Yang Chengye rode on the horse, he was half a body taller than those cavalrymen of the Daliang Army.

At this time, Yang Chengye’s warhorse was no longer the former Wanjun. Wanjun was the descendant of Hongyun, but he was now over 30 years old, so he had been raised in the Lingquan space by Yang Zhengshan for a long time.

Yang Zhengshan replaced Yang Chengye’s warhorse with one that grew up in the Lingquan space.

It is no exaggeration to say that the warhorse that grew up in the Lingquan space is a divine horse.

Yang Chengye rode on a divine horse and brandished a spear. He was like a demon on the battlefield, killing gods and Buddhas.

No matter whether it was the elite troops of Daliang or the personal troops around Emperor Tianwu, they were no match for him.

There were even a few generals of the Daliang army who wanted to stop Yang Chengye, but they were all shot away by Yang Chengye.

At this moment, Yang Chengye had the demeanor of Yang Zhengshan back then. He charged forward amidst thousands of troops, and was invincible.

The fire is bright and the blood is boiling.

Yang Chengye felt that his internal organs were trembling, not because he was injured, but because he was so excited that he could not suppress it.

This was his first charge into battle and his first time commanding a large-scale battle.

Normally, as the commander-in-chief, he should not personally participate in the battle, but tonight they were attacking the camp, and the commander-in-chief’s command was not needed at all during the battle.

“Kill without hesitation, and never give up until you die!”

Yang Chengye roared, his face flushed and his eyes bright.

He had already seen Emperor Tianwu’s tent and even Emperor Tianwu himself.

Emperor Tianwu was standing outside the main tent, riding on horseback, guarded by a group of personal guards.

Yang Chengye swung his spear, sweeping away an enemy general who was charging at him, and rushed towards Emperor Tianwu without hesitation.

“Stop him, stop him quickly!” Song Chenxing roared anxiously.

Emperor Tianwu held a long sword in his hand and looked at Yang Chengye who was rushing towards him with a cold gaze.

His hands were shaking, not from fear, but from anger.

Angry at the impending failure.

Although he doesn’t know the battle situation yet, he is very clear that they will definitely lose this battle.

And they will fail completely.

At this moment, he finally realized that Zhang Luan’s caution was right. Looking at those heavily armored cavalrymen and then looking at those heavily armored infantrymen who were like tin cans, he finally realized how big the gap was between the Daliang Army and the Chongshan Army.

The difference in bravery and combat effectiveness among the soldiers can be ignored, but the difference in equipment is an unbridgeable gap.

Those were heavy cavalry, real heavy cavalry, not the empty shell of the 16th Battalion of Dayong’s personal army.

Those unprepossessing iron bones are actually powerful killing weapons. No matter whether you are wearing armor or not, and no matter whether you are an ordinary warrior or an acquired warrior, one blow from them will break your bones.

Even if it is the ninth level of the acquired realm, if it is hit by a hammer, it will still be seriously injured.

Acquired warriors are stronger, have more powerful energy, and their attack power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary warriors. However, the defense of acquired warriors is not much stronger than that of ordinary warriors. At most, their bones are stronger and their muscles are tougher.

Yang Chengye raised his spear and pointed it directly at Emperor Tianwu.

“False Emperor, do you dare to fight?”

Emperor Tianwu is not a coward, and he also has considerable strength. Without some strength, how could he have his current status.

Seeing Yang Chengye’s provocation, Emperor Tianwu drew his sword and fought with Yang Chengye for three hundred rounds without any hesitation.

“Your Majesty, no!” Song Chenxing hurriedly persuaded.

“Senior Zhang!”

He also did not forget to call Zhang Luan, wanting to invite Zhang Luan and others to fight.

At this time, Zhang Luan, Wang He, Jian Chengfeng, Li Zhen, Yang Jiushi and other innate warriors were beside Emperor Tianwu, but they did not respond to Song Chenxing’s call.

Song Chenxing spoke again: “Please, seniors, take His Majesty away first!”

Zhang Luan said with a bitter look, “I can’t leave!”

“Why?” Song Chenxing was puzzled.

Zhang Luan looked towards the southwest and let out a long breath, “We are surrounded!”

“What?” Song Chenxing was even more confused.

Jian Chengfeng shook his head slightly, “A lot of old friends are here!”

“Oh, this is a problem!” Li Zhen was also helpless.

Yang Jiushi said somewhat unhappily: “How many people have come? Did I sense it wrongly?”

Wang He’s eyes sparkled, “You are not mistaken, there are at least twenty of them!”

The brutal battle continued on the chaotic battlefield, but what really caught their attention was the restrained aura.

Song Chenxing looked around blankly, and suddenly he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the top of a tent in the distance.

At this time, a raging fire had already started in the camp, and in the midst of the fire, there was a figure standing above the tent.

The man was holding a wine gourd and drinking from it with his head raised.

The fire flickered and the figures were bright and dark.

Emperor Tianwu had figured out what was going on, and said, “Everyone, fight to the death!”

After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and rushed straight towards Yang Chengye.

Yang Chengye saw him rushing towards him and grinned.

In the blink of an eye, the two collided with each other.
With a roar, Emperor Tianwu, who had just rushed forward, was knocked away by a huge force, creating a gully among his many guards.

However, Yang Chengye continued to take advantage of the situation and sped up his horse, charging straight towards Emperor Tianwu.

Seeing this, Zhang Luan couldn’t help but take action, because if he didn’t take action, Emperor Tianwu would probably be killed by Yang Chengye. However, Yang Chengye was not an innate warrior after all, so he didn’t really want to kill Yang Chengye, he just wanted to block Yang Chengye’s attack.

He swung his sword, with sword energy as fierce as a rainbow, blocking Yang Chengye.

Just as Yang Chengye pulled the reins and prepared to stop, thunder suddenly exploded, and the rumbling thunder suppressed the noisy shouts and screams.

Then a pale bolt of lightning fell from the sky.

“Haha, Senior Zhang, I haven’t seen you for twenty years. I hope you are doing well!”

Amidst the flash of thunder, Yang Zhengshan stood in front of Yang Chengye with a spear in his hand. With a flick of the spear, he easily blocked Zhang Luan’s sword.

Zhang Luan looked at Yang Zhengshan with a serious expression on his face, but his eyes were filled with eagerness to try.

“Brother Yang, you arrived just in time!”

Yang Zhengshan stood with a gun in hand, stroking his long beard, “Senior Jian, Senior Li, Senior Yang, haha, I guess this must be Senior Wang Hewang!”

He greeted the five people opposite him one by one. His familiar expression didn’t seem like he was on the battlefield, but more like he was welcoming good friends to his home.

Among the five people opposite, except Wang He, all of them were acquainted with him and had some interactions with him.

However, in terms of familiarity, Zhang Luan is naturally the most familiar with him, followed by Li Zhen and Yang Jiushi. He has met Jian Chengfeng, but they have not had much communication.

“Oh, I didn’t expect that even Brother Yang would get involved!” Li Zhen looked at Yang Zhengshan and said with mixed feelings.

When Yang Zhengshan was still in Chongshan Town, Li Zhen was already a world-famous innate warrior. When he was in Cuixia Valley, although Yang Zhengshan showed impressive strength, everyone was afraid of the court behind him rather than him.

But now he stood in front of Yang Zhengshan, but he didn’t have any confidence at all.

Although he is not clear about Yang Zhengshan’s strength now, he can feel that Yang Zhengshan is very dangerous to him.

Wang He stared at Yang Zhengshan and suddenly said, “Stop talking nonsense and fight first.”

He drew out the long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Yang Zhengshan, with a sharp aura emanating from his body, both obvious and hidden.

The expressions of Zhang Luan and others froze for a moment, and then became solemn.

Wang He had no choice. This was a battlefield, not a place to reminisce.

The key point is that Yang Zhengshan can reminisce about the past with Zhang Luan and others, but he has no old feelings to reminisce with Yang Zhengshan.

The two sides started reminiscing about the past. If the fighting stopped during the conversation and Zhang Luan and others turned to Yang Zhengshan, he would be in trouble.

He has chosen to support Daliang and now turns to join the Yang family. Not to mention whether this will affect his reputation, the key is whether the Yang family is willing to accept him.

So now he has to follow Daliang until the end.

He couldn’t allow Zhang Luan and others to continue gossiping with Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan could naturally see what Wang He was thinking. To be honest, he didn’t have any good feelings towards Wang He.

Although he had no previous contact with Wang He, he just looked down on Wang He.

As for the reason, it was mainly because the Wang family’s previous style left him with a very bad impression.

Among the nobles of Da Rong, there are many who like to bully others by taking advantage of their power, and the worst among them is the Shouguo Mansion.

None of Wang He’s descendants are good people. They are arrogant and domineering, and do all kinds of evil.

As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. Wang He’s descendants have such character, so Wang He’s character is not much better.

“It seems that Senior Wang can’t wait any longer. Haha, then I will meet Senior Wang!”

Yang Zhengshan didn’t bother to be polite. He swung his spear and rushed directly towards Wang He.

Naturally, he wanted to win over Zhang Luan and others. Be it Zhang Luan or Jian Chengfeng, although they had betrayed the Darong court, that did not mean they had bad character.

Forget about being loyal to the emperor and patriotic. That is useless to innate warriors.

Don’t talk about traitors. The Yang family is the biggest traitor. Yang Zhengshan has no right to say these to Zhang Luan and Jian Chengfeng.

Yang Zhengshan understood Zhang Luan and knew that Zhang Luan was not a treacherous person. On the contrary, he felt that Zhang Luan was a very responsible person.

This was already demonstrated when Zhang Luan was in charge of Shangwu Temple.

As for Jian Chengfeng, this guy took all the fruits of the Sanhuang Plum, which was indeed a bit too much. But then again, since he was leaving, it was understandable that he would steal something once.

Li Zhen and Yang Jiushi are both martial artists, one belongs to a sect, and the other to a martial arts family.

The Badao Sect and the Longping Yang Family they represent are actually typical underworld forces. You cannot judge whether underworld forces like them are good or bad based on just one thing.

They have good aspects, such as their protective role in local stability and their ability to serve the court.

Both the Badao Sect and the Longping Yang Family used to have many sons and daughters serving in the army and the Shangwu Temple.

Of course, they also have bad sides. Among the descendants of sects and families, there are always some who act recklessly, bullying the market, running rampant in the countryside, oppressing the people, annexing land, and so on.

The court cannot simply suppress the forces of the underworld, but should impose rules and constraints on them.

The reason why Shangwu Temple was unable to restrain the forces of the underworld in the past was because the court was the first to break the rules.

This cannot be blamed on Li Zhen and Yang Jiushi, but only on the injustice of the court.

So when facing these four people, Yang Zhengshan wanted to win them over.

However, his attempt to win over the enemy is definitely not to promise huge benefits. He wants to make an example of him and frighten the tiger.

Well, Wang He is that chicken.

The spear was like a dragon, lightning flashed, and Yang Zhengshan rushed towards Wang He like a torrent of thunder.

Wang He’s strength is not weak, but he has not yet reached the level of entering the Tao. Facing Yang Zhengshan’s violent attack, he turned his body, rose from the ground, and moved quickly, trying to avoid it.

He is very fast, but Yang Zhengshan is even faster.

With a bang, Yang Zhengshan struck out violently, knocking Wang He down from the air.

However, due to the time constraints, Yang Zhengshan only used one-third of his strength in this attack, and Wang He was able to keep his body steady after landing.
