Chapter 244: Zhu Jun's Retreat
He roared in anger, blocked with all his might, and even became stronger due to an outburst beyond his limit, but he still couldn't avoid being sniped and concentrated fire.
He rolled back and tried every possible way to dodge and block, but to no avail.
The moment the rain of arrows turned the corner and chased him, he knew that everything was over.
Liu Zongmin forced himself to take a deep breath, and slashed out a ray of sword light that tore through the defense line in front of Yuan Zongdi, using the last bit of his life to help Yuan Zongdi move forward.
Then the exhausted Liu Zongmin was pierced by an arrow in the knee, through the chest, and finally through the skull.
"Poor kid, it's obvious that he can't die." Zhu Jun was at a loss, he didn't want to kill him. Liu Zongmin had tried hard to block five hundred arrows, but in the end he was nailed to the ground.
Although the hedgehog that was trapped in the city looked miserable, given the outrageous degree of his internal energy leaving the body, he should have just retreated and recuperated. He didn't expect that this unlucky kid would insist on causing trouble for him at the cost of his life.
"Alas, the monarch's talent, the monarch's talent!" Zhu Jun hurried to make up for the defense line, otherwise it would be troublesome if Yuan Zongdi broke in .
While mending the defense line, he sighed that the monarch's talent is indeed a must-have for a monarch. He can let the internal energy leave the body and sacrifice his life to assist. The leader of Dashun is really a rare talent.
Zhu Jun sighed, knowing that he was careless. A group of hidden dragons were suppressed, not because the hidden dragon monarch was incompetent, but because the sun and the moon were too overbearing.
He himself has no talent for being a monarch, yet he just looks down on others. Isn't this just seeking stimulation?
If he didn't have the ability to command a large army and internal energy leaving the body, it would be fine, he could easily destroy him with a wave of his hand. However, the combination of internal energy leaving the body + commanding a large army + monarch talent did not wake him up.
This situation of internal energy leaving the body and sacrificing one's life for justice seems to be a low-probability event, but in fact, under the premise of the existence of a monarch, isn't it a low-probability event that will occur 100%?
It was obvious that the battle situation was one-sided, and the shield guards had already begun to force Li Zicheng to retreat, but now Zhu Jun's central army was about to collapse.
Zhu Jun could only pray that the living internal energy on the other side would be smarter and not try to fight with him, otherwise he would definitely lose today.
No matter how fierce the Guards are, they can't kill their teammates together. Once the central army's flag is broken, the new recruits will lose all morale and will be directly defeated by the Guards. The battlefield will be doomed.
Unfortunately, Zhu Jun's prayers did not come true, and Yuan Zongdi was extremely sad and angry about Liu Zongmin's death.
"Ahhhh!! Die!" Yuan Zongdi burned all his internal energy and started fighting for his life. He didn't even think about killing Zhu Jun. His heart was fixed on the flag of the central army.
"The Han cavalry general Zhu Gongwei has come again, rebel, give me your life!" Zhu Jun stepped forward and tried to stop Yuan Zongdi, but Yuan Zongdi didn't even look at him, his heart was completely focused on the target general flag that Luo Shan had instructed him to target.
Zhu Jun was extremely depressed and had gone too far. He even risked his life to lure Yuan Zongde to come and kill him, but he didn't expect that the other side still chose the most suitable target.
In fact, the personal guards around him were fully capable of holding Yuan Zongde back, so it was basically a dream for Yuan Zongde to kill him.
But he really had no way to deal with the general's flag. Hiding it was the same as cutting it off. As soon as the general's flag was broken, the recruits would be in chaos.
"Break it for me!" As Yuan Zongdi jumped up and struck hard, the central army's flag was completely shattered.
"Retreat!" Zhu Jun helplessly sounded the horn to call back his troops and began to gather his soldiers in advance. It would be troublesome if he waited until the soldiers started to rebel.
The moment Yuan Zongdi fell to the ground from the air, he watched Zhu Jun's personal guards roar and throw javelins at him, and also watched Changshui Shesheng concentrate fire on him.
At this distance, neither Changshui, Shesheng, nor Zhu Jun's personal guards could fail.
Yuan Zongdi had just had a burst of energy, and now his breath was uneven, and he didn't have the strength to burst out again.
At such a close distance, Yuan Zongdi no longer had any thoughts of survival.
As for dodging, the concentrated fire of over a thousand people was simply impossible for him to avoid in his current state.
Yuan Zongdi slashed at Zhu Jun from a distance, and then was overwhelmed by the overwhelming attack.
Zhu Jun blocked Yuan Zongde's fatal blow with a grim look on his face, then began to organize the troops to retreat without looking back.
"Send a signal to the infantry battalion to cover their retreat, and we will retreat!" Zhu Jun took a deep breath. Since the opponent was trying to survive in such a desperate situation, it meant that they had a backup plan. He had to remain calm. The opponent's hard power was not as good as his. As long as they stabilized their formation, they would definitely not be defeated.
To be honest, Zhu Jun was very receptive to defeat. Perhaps because he had suffered so many defeats, Zhu Jun was extremely skilled in organizing his troops to retreat and did not give Luo Shan too many opportunities to catch up.
The shield guards of the infantry battalion that were left behind also cut off Luo Shan's plan to pursue the victory. He could pretend not to see the other guards and deal with them in various ways, but he had no way to deal with the shield guards holding the sabers.
Especially after the veteran of the infantry battalion received the signal to break away and quickly ran back to pick up the big shield again, he was completely helpless.
The ridiculously strong survivability, coupled with the battlefield experience of these Central Guards veterans, allowed them to basically withstand it by simply releasing their strength, except for being hit on the helmet with a sledgehammer by a leader at the internal energy level. It was simply unreasonable.
Luo Shan felt chilled by this creature with both terrible defensive power and terrible survivability.
As long as the infantry battalion shield guards parry without making any mistakes and use the thickened layer of the large shield core to block it, under the cloud, not to mention the attack of an ordinary soldier, even the attack of internal energy leaving the body will not be able to cut it open.
With its terrifying survivability, terrifying defense, and the experience of veterans, it has no physical flaws and is a nightmare to the enemy on the front battlefield.
But unfortunately, only the shield guards who have transformed from veterans of the infantry battalion have such power. As for the strength of ordinary shield guards, it is still a bit lacking. If they want to reach the performance of veterans of the infantry battalion, they still have a long way to go.
The veterans of the infantry battalion are all-round infantrymen. Their talents have been washed countless times at the hands of the bosses, and each time there is more or less left. It is precisely because of this foundation that they can be transformed into shield guards, and they are shield guards at the level of the Royal Guards, who can basically withstand any purely physical attack.
It is so cool to use it to kill young ones. On the cloud battlefield, you can completely achieve the effect of stopping hundreds of thousands of troops without any damage and letting the back row output as much as possible.
To be honest, he had previously dreamed of defeating the government troops, then chasing them down, and finally seizing their equipment to strengthen the Dashun Empire again.
As a result, he didn't expect that his victory cost him two generals with internal energy leaving their bodies, and the final gain were just some bone flowers thrown away by the shield guards?
He really didn't understand, how could the Seven Great Bandits of Dashun, who were all so low-key, still attract opponents of the level of the Three Dukes and the Imperial Guards?
It's not like he had not been to the Northern Xiongnu royal court when he was in the Hu tribe. Even if the Han imperial guards were more numerous than the Northern Xiongnu, they wouldn't be sent out to fight them like the minions they had shown before, right?
Or was he just unlucky enough to run into the most powerful one?
