Chapter 73 Yi Wu
"Brother Chao Gai, watch me lead my men to charge in, tear apart the government army's formation, and kill the commanding general!" Lü Guang's fighting spirit soared, and his voice boomed like a bell, causing the leaves around him to rustle.
At the same time, his warhorse was pawing the ground and snorting white breath, clearly sensing the fighting spirit emanating from its master.
"I'm going with my brothers!"
Chao Gai naturally wouldn't refuse, and immediately raised his hand to grasp the Heavenly King Mountain-Splitting Saber at his waist, then responded in a deep voice.
This broadsword was forged by a renowned craftsman from Fengxiang County at great expense before Chao Gai joined Liangshan. The blade is thick and heavy, weighing fifty-two catties. The blade is made of the finest iron, forged through countless hammerings, capable of cutting through a hair with a single blow, slicing through gold and jade, and slicing through iron like mud. It can be considered a divine weapon.
Since taking the position of leader of Liangshan, Chao Gai has lived in the stronghold for a long time and rarely went into battle. He spends his days either training the soldiers in the stronghold or drinking and discussing martial arts with his brothers.
Seeing this scene of fierce fighting on the battlefield today, I felt an irresistible urge to fight, and the long-dormant passion in my chest began to boil.
Before Chao Gai finished speaking, he slapped his horse's rump, and the horse neighed loudly, its hooves flying as it charged into the government army's ranks.
Lu Guang dared not be negligent either, and followed closely behind, spurring his horse forward. His warhorse was exceptionally fine, a rare and outstanding Akhal-Teke horse, and its speed was beyond doubt.
In the blink of an eye, Lü Guang beat Chao Gai to it and plunged into the chaotic battlefield.
Looking at the fine horse beneath Lü Guang, Chao Gai felt a pang of envy.
For these men who have always lived on the edge, a fine steed that can travel a thousand miles a day and a divine weapon that can cut through iron like mud are far more attractive than a pretty woman.
Despite his envy, Chao Gai was by no means the kind of person who would betray his principles for personal gain, and naturally he would not steal his brother's prized possession.
And this can be considered one of the highlights of Liangshan Marsh.
Throughout the entire Water Margin, the people on Liangshan Mountain are a diverse bunch. Some are cruel and tyrannical, killing without hesitation; some commit numerous evils and run rampant in the countryside; and some can even be described as utterly wicked, deserving of being torn to pieces.
But no matter what, the two words "loyalty" are the foundation upon which the people of Liangshan live their lives.
Although this so-called righteousness is only a minor one.
Even Song Jiang, who wholeheartedly advocated for accepting amnesty, was extremely kind and righteous to his brothers.
His insistence on the path of amnesty may have been driven by his own selfish motives, such as wanting to gain fame and glory through his skills, but it was also undoubtedly influenced by considerations for the future of his brothers.
After all, the Liangshan bandits were ultimately "bandits".
As long as this brand remains, they will have no real way out, and even their descendants will bear the infamy, never able to turn their lives around.
Moreover, Song Jiang was from Shandong. For a Shandong hero like him, returning to the system, gaining fame and fortune, and securing a position for his wife and children were his true pursuits.
It can be said that if Song Jiang did not possess such shining qualities, Jiang Ce would not have thought of recruiting him for his own use.
"Brothers, we, the men of Liangshan, are all righteous heroes acting on behalf of Heaven. On the contrary, these government troops have been oppressing the people all day long. They are worse than beasts. Follow me and kill—slaughter these dogs who harm the people!"
Chang Zhengkuo knew how to boost morale, so wouldn't Lü Guang, the founding monarch of Later Liang, have done the same?
With a roar, the Cold Moon Halberd in his hand flashed with cold light, piercing directly through the throat of a soldier. Then, with a flick of the halberd shaft, the corpse was flung high into the air like a broken sack, splattering blood all over the faces and bodies of the people around him.
Seeing this, several soldiers from Fengxiang County took the opportunity to sneak up from the side and rear, crouching low and stepping on the corpses, trying to launch a surprise attack in the chaos.
But Lü Guang, with his keen hearing, didn't even need to turn around. With a sudden flick of his wrist, the halberd swept out with a powerful gust of wind. Several muffled thuds rang out, and the attackers were instantly swept away, spitting blood, and falling to the ground, where they immediately fell silent.
The crisp sound of bones breaking mixed with the shouts of battle, sending chills down one's spine.
"Brothers, let's fight these government troops!"
Seeing Lü Guang's bravery, Wang Ying, who was accompanying the army into battle, immediately shouted out.
The Liangshan heroes, surrounded on all sides, were instantly filled with high morale. Their shouts shook the heavens, and with bloodshot eyes, they charged towards the government troops who were surrounded at the core, like tigers descending the mountain.
Amidst the flashing swords, someone wielded a broadsword to cleave through the shields of government soldiers.
Someone held a long spear and stabbed it into the enemy's chest.
The sounds of shouts, screams, and clashing weapons mingled together, causing the earth to tremble slightly.
"What an arrogant and treacherous bandit!"
In the center of the army formation.
Chang Zhengkuo stared at Lü Guang, who was charging straight at him as if he were in an empty place, his face turning ashen.
This scoundrel rode a magnificent warhorse, and his halberd was as swift as a dragon and as powerful as lightning. Wherever he went, his men fell like straws, and no one could withstand a single blow from him.
And his route of attack was actually aimed at himself, the commander-in-chief!
Upon realizing this, Chang Zhengkuo instantly felt looked down upon. He clenched his teeth, then let out a cold snort, intending to personally kill the enemy general.
"General, you may command the troops from here; leave these bandits to me!"
Just as Chang Zhengkuo was about to spur his horse into battle, one of his officers volunteered to fight.
He led a total of three thousand troops this time, and naturally had three military commanders under his command.
Although their strength was not comparable to that of the military commanders who came from the regular army, they were all first-class in ability, and not just ordinary first-class generals.
[Ding dong, Zheng Bo's skill 'Martial Warrior' has been activated, increasing his own attack power by 3, base attack power by 84, and current attack power by 87;]
"kill."
With a long neigh, Zheng Bo's warhorse galloped forward, its hooves flying, and charged straight toward Lü Guang.
"court death."
Seeing that the nameless general in front of him dared to block his way, Lü Guang was instantly enraged.
