The enemy general, clad in bronze armor, stood out too much among the soldiers.
Lu Jang, dragging his sword, charged towards the Shang army.
In an instant, with his body twisting and arms extending, he unleashed a powerful strike, aiming directly at the Shang general.
The overwhelming killing intent made the Shang general's hair stand on end.
Realizing the imminent danger, he hastily gripped the bronze swords hilt and assumed a defensive stance.
Suddenly, there was a loud clash of weapons.
Lu Jen<unk>s long-prepared sword strike was not something he could easily block.
The terrifying force caused the palms of the Shang general to crack, instantly numbing his arms.
The bronze sword was knocked away, but Lu Jiangs spring and autumn broadsword continued its descent.
Dodge, dodge, dodge, quickly dodge.
The fear of death surged into Shan general's mind, causing his emotions to spiral wildly.
In this critical moment, he instinctively activated his life saving skill, stepping back and leaning slightly backward, causing Lu Jiangs descending broadsword to miss.
The sharp tip of the blade grazed his bronze armor, producing a sharp sound and sparking a flurry of sparks.
However, before the Shan general could let out a sigh of relief, he saw Lu Jang, having missed the first strike, swiftly turn and deliver a spinning slash aimed at him once more.
Damn.
At that moment, the Shan general's mindset was undoubtedly on the verge of exploding.
In a moment of decisiveness, he activated his lifesaving skill again to evade Lu Jiangs deadly pursuit, shouting, "block him! Quickly! Block him!" The shieldbearers, realizing the gravity of the situation, rushed to defend against Lu Jangs attack.
Faced with such a scenario, Lu Jang seized his pursuit.
After taking two steps back, the long spear troops that followed had already engaged in combat with the infantry under the Shang general.
At that moment, the battle became extremely intense.
Within his own formation, Lu Jang, wielding the spring and autumn broadsword, continuously adjusted his breathing and state.
The combination of dragging sword strikes and spinning slashes seemed like only two attacks, but they were all executed with his full strength, clearly consuming a lot of energy.
However, he still failed to kill the enemy general, whose almost unbelievable evasions made Lu Jenangs eyebrows involuntarily furrow.
At this moment, the Shang general, also within his own formation, appeared pale and gasping for breath.
Players expend mental energy when activating skills.
The higher the mental level, the more times they can use skills.
However, his mental level was low.
After activating his life-saving skills twice in a row, he felt dizzy and knew that if he activated one or two more skills, he might faint on the spot.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, the appearance of this long spear troop put him in a terrible predicament.
Capturing Bay City was his only way out.
Yet, the constant screams around him narrowed that escape route, sinking his heart further.
Looking at the fierce warrior wielding the spring and autumn broadsword, leading his soldiers in a battle, the Shang general was filled with regret.
According to the original plans set by Lin Ley, his reconnaissance waves had left little room for the generals to shine, focusing instead on understanding the troop types, tactics, and terrain.
Moreover, considering the costs of deploying a general, he naturally did not bring one.
If there had been a contingency, he considered himself a strong player who could hold his own for a few rounds thanks to his skills.
However, who could have imagined that the enemy would send such a powerful opponent right from the start.
Just one encounter forced him to use his skills twice, putting him on the brink.
One misstep leads to another.
With his mind in chaos, the Shan general could do nothing but command his soldiers to continue fighting to the death.
Although Lu Jangs strength was not as great as Luo Yongs, the long weapon had its advantages.
Driven by inertia, Lu Jenangs attacks were powerful and overwhelming, continuously breaking through the enemy's defenses.
At this moment, he charged into battle, leaving the tasks of troop movement and command to Zhao E, who had arrived with the army.
Lu G's arrangements were undoubtedly well considered.
Zhao E and Lu Jang complimented each other, one as a rear commander and the other as a frontline fighter.
Unquestionably, the suspense of this battle had been extinguished.
Facing such a situation, how could the Shang general resist? At that moment, despair filled his heart as he watched the warrior wielding the spring and autumn broadsword tear apart his formation and placed the blade against his neck.
Yet, his bloodied hands could not even grip a weapon.
Seeing this scene, Zhao E in the rear was overjoyed and quickly raised his bronze long sword, shouting, "Everyone, drop your weapons.
Those who surrender will not be killed.
" With his shout, a group of soldiers who had been fighting desperately saw that the Shong general had been subdued and their morale instantly collapsed.
After a moment of hesitation, they dropped their weapons and chose to surrender.
Thus, the invasion battle effectively came to an end.
Lu Jang left 300 soldiers to assist in clearing the battlefield and garrisoning Bama City.
He did not linger directly escorting the Shang general and the remaining surrendered troops towards Mingjing city.
On the way to Ming Jing city, the Shang general was filled with regret.
7 days had passed, but at this moment he was in a captured state.
In other words, under this condition, special operations like retreating or sending distress signals were impossible.
To put it bluntly, he had become a piece of meat on Lu G's chopping board.
How to deal with him? Life or death? That was entirely up to the enemy.
Chapter 327.
Deception in Ming Jing City.
Sitting in his spacious new office.
Luji had already received firstirhand battle reports from the messenger.
However, at this moment, he still listened attentively as the great contributor below recounted the details of the battle.
After listening, he naturally awarded a few praises and rewards.
As his thoughts raced, Lu Gi turned his attention to Zhao E Zoey.
You have made great contributions in assisting Bama City.
You are awarded a bounty of 300 Juan, promoted one rank, and granted a star, rising to four-star 100man commander.
Thank you, your majesty, for the reward.
Lu Jang, you have captured the enemy general and deserve the primary credit.
As Lu Ji spoke, his voice paused.
Unlike newcomers like Zhao E, seasoned veterans like Lu Jang were the most difficult to reward.
There was little to promote in terms of military rank, so he could only reward in other ways.
You were awarded 600 Guan, two bolts of silk, and a jar of tiger bone wine.
Thank you, your majesty, for the reward.
Upon hearing a jar of tiger bone wine, Lu Jang, who had been composed, couldn't help but smile widely.
After all, Lu Jang was a lover of wine, and upon hearing that Luo Gi had procured several jars of Tiger Bone wine.
He had likely been anticipating it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lu Gi couldn't help but remind him, Lu Jang, drinking can lead to trouble.
Be mindful of moderation.
I understand.
Thank you for your concern, your majesty.
Lu Jang replied cheerfully.
In response, Lu Ji had nothing more to say.
In terms of character, Lu Jang was quite steady and would likely not do anything reckless.
The ones pressing the merchant army and the surrendering soldiers to Ming Jing city were Lu Jang and Zhao.
As for Ba and Burri Gouda and the others, they did not come along.
After all, they were far away on the grasslands, and the time spent going back and forth was too much.
Moreover, in this battle of Bama City, due to the constraints of troop types, the credit for the victory did not fall on the two of them.
So there was naturally no need for them to make a special trip.
After the awards were given out, Lu Ji straightforwardly granted Lu Jang and Zhao a 3-day leave, allowing them to enjoy themselves in Ming Jing City before returning to TB City for their duties.
After watching the two leave, Lu Gi turned to Helong, the captain of the guard team beside him, and said, "Go and bring that foreign leader in.
" The person was quickly brought in.
Looking at Lu Gi sitting in a high position, Shan Jun, who had been pondering all the way, immediately began his performance.
Buddy, we're being a bit excessive, aren't you? As he spoke, Shan Jun gestured at the bronze shackles on his hands and feet.
Leave a line for everything.
We can meet again in the future.
I admit defeat this time.
Let's be straightforward.
Name a price.
