Chapter 665: Arriving at the Battlefield
After that, Lu Ping'an and the three of them still stayed by the river to cultivate.
Lu Ping'an was not affected by what Yue Longchuan said, but he at least figured out what kind of person the enemy's top general was and the true purpose of Qi Zhu's attack on Cangwu Kingdom.
Qi Zhu is a tyrant, yes, but he is also an ambitious person.
In Lu Ping'an's opinion, it may be that the emperors of the four major countries want to dominate the Eastern Continent, but the only one who really dares to take action for this is Qi Zhu.
If this battle is lost, then the flames of war ignited by the Dongyu Kingdom will spread to the Nanyun Kingdom and even the entire Eastern Continent, causing countless people to die because of this, and the lives of this continent will be devastated!
But if the Cangwu Kingdom can win, it will definitely stop Qi Zhu's arrogant ambitions, and at least for these decades, the Dongyu Kingdom will not start a large-scale war again.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ping'an's determination to lead the Cangwu Kingdom to defeat the Dongyu State army became even firmer.
Of course, he didn't want to save the Eastern Continent, but he just felt that while defending the Cangwu Kingdom, he could also protect the people of other countries in the Eastern Continent from the impact of the war, which was a good thing after all.
And just when the sky was getting brighter, but it was not completely bright, Guan Xiantu used a sound transmission device to inform Lu Ping'an, saying that the army of Cangwu Country had set off from the camp.
After a while, Lu Ping'an sensed that the 120,000 troops of Dongyu Country were also coming towards the riverbank.
Both armies had already set off and rushed to the battlefield one after another, and the Hongling River seemed to have sensed something, and the entire water became more turbulent, rolling and tumbling, rumbling.
It didn't take long for Lu Ping'an to see that on the opposite riverbank, a large number of Dongyu soldiers appeared, densely connected into a large area, as far as the eye could see, all of them were people, like mountains and seas, and as if dark clouds were shrouded in the riverside, the momentum was violent, forming an extremely powerful coercion.
But when it reached a certain position, the Dongyu army did not continue to advance, but temporarily stopped in place, ready to attack.
Almost at the same time, the more than 60,000 people in Cangwu Kingdom, whose combat strength was equivalent to 70,000 troops, also came to the bank of the river, with momentum like a rainbow, not inferior to the 120,000 army of Dongyu Kingdom!
At this point, the two armies have arrived at the battlefield, facing each other across the river, hating each other, murderous, if there is a raging fire, burning wildly on both sides of the strait, it is bound to destroy the other side!
Lu Ping'an and the three of them were still standing in the same place, which was also the closest place to the Hongling River and the Dongyu Army.
Seeing that the war was about to begin, Lu Ping'an said to Chun Yu Feiqiong and Hu Ling beside him: "You guys should step back first, and everything will be arranged by Guan seniors." ”
Although Chun Yu Feiqiong and Hu Ling both wanted to fight side by side with Lu Ping'an here, they would also know very well that doing so would only hinder Lu Ping'an, and the only way to do it was to return to the army and follow orders.
So they didn't say much, they immediately responded, asked Lu Ping'an to be careful, and then turned around and left.
Lu Ping'an stood alone in place, holding a sword in one hand and carrying his back in the other, his face was calm, giving people an extremely calm feeling, and occasionally the river breeze blew the ends of his hair and the corners of his clothes, which looked quite chic.
The soldiers of Dongyu Kingdom on the opposite side couldn't help but be surprised when they saw this.
Although they have all heard of Lu Ping'an's deeds, as the saying goes, "it is better to see than to hear".
Now they saw with their own eyes that a young man dared to stand at the forefront of the 120,000 army with one man and one sword, which was quite surprising, and some even had admiration for Lu Ping'an.
Lu Ping'an stood there, of course, not to pretend, but to be able to prevent the Dongyu army from crossing the river at the first time.
However, after the two armies arrived, the Dongyu army still did not move, and I don't know what was waiting for.
After a while, Lu Ping'an saw the soldiers of the Dongyu Kingdom standing directly opposite him suddenly parted to both sides, making way for a wide road.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a rather large, and extremely luxurious and luxurious chariot, carried by eight beautiful girls, and slowly walked out of it.
Sitting on the top of the chariot is naturally the current emperor of Dongyu - Qi Zhu!
"Your Majesty really guessed correctly, Qi Zhu will really come to the battlefield!"
In fact, even if you don't look at people, just looking at this style, Lu Ping'an can guess that it's that guy.
Because as early as in the secret realm of Jixia Academy, when Lu Ping'an first saw Qi Zhu, he was still the fourteenth prince at that time, and he came from the chariot.
It's just that now the chariot has become more luxurious, and the girl who carries the chariot has changed from four to eight, and Qi Zhu's identity has changed dramatically.
The arrogant and domineering temperament on Qi Zhu's body became even stronger, and there was a feeling of "heaven and earth, I am the only one" and his eyes were empty.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
In the process of being carried out, the 120,000 troops of Dongyu Kingdom fell to their knees in unison, and the mountain shouted long live!
However, in the eyes of everyone in Cangwu Kingdom, Qi Zhu's actions were extremely arrogant.
It is not necessary for the royal driver to march in person, but it is completely unnecessary for Qi Zhu to sit on the chariot and let all the soldiers kneel.
If Cangwu Country was not on the passive side, and it had already attacked directly, where would Qi Zhu be given the opportunity to pretend there?
But helplessly, the existence of Honglingjiang was an obstacle to the army of Dongyu State, and at the same time, it also made it impossible for Cangwu State to take the initiative to attack.
After all, it was impossible for them to cross the river to attack each other, which would only put them in a more dangerous situation, which was already at a disadvantage.
Therefore, the Cangwu army could only wait for the other side to attack, and then attack and resist.
And in this case, no matter how disgusting Qi Zhu's behavior was, they could only watch.
"All the soldiers are flat. ”
After Da Yuan stopped, Qi Zhu waved his hand lightly and said so, and then the soldiers of Dongyu Kingdom stood up.
Then, an old man dressed in black, and a man in armor who looked like he was in his fifties, walked up to the big chariot.
And that man is Yue Longchuan, who has met Lu Ping'an before!
The fact that he was able to stand in that position showed that his status was extremely high!
At this time, Lu Ping'an sensed the soldiers of the Cangwu Kingdom in the rear, and also moved to both sides, making way for them.
Then, Hu Xian also came out of the army.
But he did not sit in a sedan chair, but came out on horseback, wearing heavy armor, his face was serious, and he was not angry.
Guan Xiantu and Luo Yize also rode horses and followed on both sides.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The soldiers of Cangwu Country also shouted long live, but they did not kneel, but just bowed. They did not do this on an ad hoc basis, but a rule that had been set a long time ago: if a soldier has armor on his body, he cannot give a full salute, so he does not have to kneel, but just give his hand.
Even in other countries outside of Cangwu, this is the case.
But obviously, Qi Zhuke didn't care if it was inconvenient, as long as the people of Dongyu saw him, they had to kneel.
In this way, the two emperors were also in charge of the imperial expedition, but the posture of the two sides formed a stark contrast.
Immediately, Hu Xian and the three of them rode horses and came to Lu Ping'an's side.
Seeing this, Qi Zhu on the opposite side snorted disdainfully, and said: "A small country is a small country, the emperor went out to the front of the battle, and the others did not kneel when they saw it, there is really no dignity at all." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "Your Majesty understands us, so you didn't let us kneel, but in our hearts, we still respect Your Majesty very much, as for you, even if you forcibly let your people kneel, they may not really respect you." ”
Qi Zhu glared at Lu Ping'an and scolded: "I am talking to you Emperor Cangwu Kingdom, where is the right for you to interject?
Lu Ping'an smiled indifferently and didn't care, just because he knew very well that Qi Zhu said this on purpose.
At this time, Hu Xian said: "Lu Ping'an is the god of war of my Cangwu country, on the battlefield, when it comes to identity and status, he is fully qualified to talk to you on an equal footing." ”
Qi Zhu sneered and said, "God of War? It's really ridiculous! You are the emperor of a small country, and you can still crown others as gods? Are you not afraid that people in the world will laugh off their big teeth?"
Qi Zhu has been talking about the small country, obviously to humiliate Hu Xian, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "I don't know if others laugh or not, but I'm very interested in knocking out your big teeth!"
Hearing this, Qi Zhu's eyes were cold, staring at Lu Ping'an, and said, "Lu Ping'an, I see that you are really impatient!"
Lu Ping'an said: "What? If you say two sentences, you are called impatient? Then I slapped you several times, what is it called? By the way, does your face still hurt? If your teeth were loosened last time, it should be easier to knock out this time, right?"
At the mention of this, Qi Zhu's eyes immediately widened, and if a fire ignited in his eyes, anger burned!
At this moment, the old man in black standing next to the chariot said, "Your Majesty, that kid is deliberately provoking you." ”
In fact, Qi Zhu wanted to provoke Lu Ping'an, hoping to see him angry and unable to do anything about his aggrieved appearance, but unexpectedly, Qi Zhu himself was angered by Lu Ping'an.
But at this point, Qi Zhu didn't seem to care too much about whether he was out of shape or not, and said: "Six slaps! I still clearly remember that kid slapped me six times in front of everyone on the contention stage of Jixia Academy! With such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, he still dares to take the initiative to mention it here, how can you make me not angry?"
The old man in black said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, General Yue will definitely catch Lu Ping'an later, and then cut him with a thousand knives, so that Your Majesty will vent the hatred in your heart." ”
As the supreme general of the Dongyu Army, when the war started, Yue Longchuan naturally wanted to kill Lu Ping'an, but when he heard the words of Qi Zhu and the old man in black, he felt that this reason was ridiculous.
But he didn't mean to openly disobey, and said: "Yes, the last general will definitely kill Lu Ping'an and avenge your majesty." ”
Qi Zhu's eyes froze, and his murderous aura was revealed, and he said: "It's just that where is Lu Ping'an's enough? I want everyone on the other side to be buried with him, and not a single living mouth can be left!"
