It is certainly impossible to give up the good position that he finally got. The Qing soldiers in the front row were neither willing to die on the eve of victory nor were they willing to let their hands fly away. The Qing soldiers in the back row, who were anxious and angry, pushed forward their partners forward. Seeing that Prince Han was close at hand, how could he not take him down? As for the guard of the King of Han who ran back and forth and danced his weapons in the air, it would be better to kill with his companions in front of him and die together.

The Qing army in the back row kept pushing and shoving, and the people in the front row were eager for merit, which made the Qing army's encirclement continue to shrink, and although it was slow, it kept tightening. Before he knew it, Zhao Tianba was already sweating profusely, using weapons to drive away the enemy, so that his physical strength could be consumed quickly. Taking advantage of the gap, Zhao Tianba looked into the distance again. At this time, the battle on the shore seemed to have come to an end. It was already possible to see the Ming army holding the red flag coming in this direction, and the Qing army in front of them also began to flee.

Facing the large number of Ming troops rushing up, Tan Yi quickly realized that he could not resist at all. Many of the Qing soldiers who remained beside him did not even have weapons, let alone armor. Those who were usually mainly engaged in transportation. After the auxiliary soldiers who built saw that the large number of people rushed up with a spear, they had already become weak. After several people were stabbed to death, many people were oiled and the front line collapsed in an instant. The guards who were still beside Tan Yi cut off the general's flag without saying a word and protected Tan Yi to run on the boat on the shore. The other soldiers even scattered in a hurry when they saw this.

Because the ships were docked too close, the Ming army rushed to the berthing site. Tan Yi's guards stopped some sailors, grabbed the boat and pulled it off the shore. However, others did not have such good luck. Many sailors were in a panic and failed to escape on the boat immediately. Although some soldiers jumped onto the boat, they could not untie the cables or accidentally threw the oars into the water. When the Ming army reached the front, most of the ships had not left the shore, and no one organized soldiers to resist and delayed the time. The Ming army that arrived did not encounter strong resistance, and rushed onto the boat directly. The Qing soldiers who had no time to escape dived and escaped one after another.

Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan were both worried about the situation on Deng Ming's side and did not dare to waste too much time on these dispersed Qing soldiers. They left a little force to continue pursuing the defeated soldiers, igniting the ships that could not be controlled to avoid being used by the fugitive enemy. The main force immediately turned back to reinforce Deng Ming. The Qing army, which was closest to the main force of the Ming army, had already seen Tan Yi's general flag disappear, the ships were burned, and even Wanxian hung the red flag again. The originally extremely high morale fell to the bottom of the valley. Their performance was no better than their companions on the shore. As soon as they saw the Ming army's strong team approaching, they fled in all directions. At this time, only the Qing army surrounding Deng Ming's mountain was still attacking. They were too concerned about the credit in front of them, so they had not noticed the changes in the situation behind them and Wanxian behind them.

According to the situation seen, Zhao Tianba estimated that the Ming army would soon kill behind the enemy in front of him, and these Qing soldiers would find that they were in desperate situations, so they could escape safely as long as they persist for a short period of time. After understanding this, Zhao Tianba felt the fatigue on his body suddenly dissipated. He shouted loudly and wanted to rush down the hill to the front line to assist in the battle. This time, Zhao Tianba went to the north. He felt that due to vision, the enemy on this side must have known that they had failed and that they would be the group that finally stopped attacking, so the front line here is the most dangerous.

Before Zhao Tianba rushed down, he saw Deng Ming holding a sword in one hand and a rein in the other, and was about to go forward to join the battle. He quickly reached out and stopped him: "What are your highness going to do?"

Deng Ming was indeed thinking of helping with the war in the past. He let the flag bearer stay at the top of the hill and led the last four personal guards forward.

Deng Ming just proposed not to retreat, and the reason used was that if the army was defeated, their team would definitely not be able to survive alone. After hearing Zhao Tianba’s question, Deng Ming did not think too much and replied casually: “If you are not here, how can I survive alone?”

After saying that, Deng Ming was about to move forward.

"Your Highness, no!" Zhao Tianba pulled Deng Ming's reins. Although the Qing army advanced step by step, the Ming army was also very fast. In the blink of an eye, the Qing army here would know its situation and would not be in the mood to continue to siege Deng Ming at that time? At this time, Zhao Tianba was sure that he would not need to take risks at all.

When stopping Deng Ming, Zhao Tianba saw a guard in front of him being stabbed by Qing soldiers and a gap appeared on the front line. He had no time to talk nonsense with Deng Ming anymore. He immediately went to make up for the loopholes, and shouted to the people behind him: "You must protect Your Highness no matter what, and reinforcements will arrive in a blink of an eye."

The twenty guards brought by Deng Ming were all the leaders in the army. They were not only riding horses but also wearing heavy armor. However, the long-term battle made them very tired, and three people were already caught. The fallen army was seriously injured and was killed by the Qing army who swarmed up before Zhao Tianba arrived. The enemy also took advantage of this gap and successfully stepped forward. Facing the black enemy soldier Zhao Tianba was not afraid, and pushed away the spears that pierced him one after another. Not only did he not take a step back, but he instead made many enemy soldiers unable to move forward.

But not everyone has the ability of Zhao Tianba. When the Ming cavalry beside him fought for a long time, he now felt that his arms were heavy and he was almost unable to lift them up. After trying hard to push away the tips of the guns that were stabbing at his ribs, he didn't have to block a spear for his mount. The war horse, which had been injured several times, roared and fell to the ground. The cavalry also fell to the ground, with one leg pressed under the horse.

Although it was within reach of Zhao Tianba, he was busy dealing with several enemies who were attacking at the same time, and could not distract himself from helping him. Seeing that the clear soldiers had already reached the side of the fallen Ming army, he raised his gun and stabbed him. At this time, a gust of wind came from behind Zhao Tianba, and two cavalry arrived one after another. A mount in front stood up, as if he was about to step down heavily on the head of the enemy soldier. In order to avoid this powerful attack, the Qing soldiers had to give up attacking the Ming army on the ground and retreated slightly to avoid. The one who was following him jumped off from the horse, waved his sword with one hand and cut a large circle in the air, and pulled the Ming army's collar on the ground with the other hand, helping him pull his legs out from the dead horse.

The person who dismounted the horse was Deng Ming. Although the saved Ming soldiers successfully escaped from the horse's corpse, they were obviously exhausted. Deng Ming pulled him out and pushed the soldier to the top of the hill, but he did not retreat with him.

Zhao Tianba was anxious and secretly scolded the guards for not knowing the importance of it. However, after Deng Ming and the last four knights joined the battle, the Ming army's front line suddenly stabilized again. And soon the Ming army took the initiative to retreat: In order to protect Deng Ming in a safe place, Zhao Tianba and others had to try their best to distance the enemy troops, but now that Deng Ming has reached the front line, there is no need to continue to maintain such a large circle.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

When he retreated, Zhao Tianba called Deng Ming anxiously, and reinforcements arrived in a blink of an eye. If Deng Ming suffered any accident at this last moment, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted? However, Deng Ming had no response to Zhao Tianba’s shouting. After seizing the opportunity and getting on the horse, he would still fight against the Qing soldiers side by side with other Ming troops.

Another Ming soldier was unable to avoid the enemy's attack. A short sword thrown from the side hit the junction of his helmet and armor, and penetrated deep into his throat from the gap. As the battle continued, the Qing army's attack became more and more fierce. Although they knew that Prince Han was right beside them, they also used flying knives and spears to attack, which was obviously red.

The same is true for the Ming army. The Ming soldiers who were thrown instinctively made an action to cover the wound. The person had fallen backwards, and the blood spurted from his neck sprinkled into the air like a fountain, and then turned into countless raindrops, soaking Deng Ming's helmet and cheeks on his left. When he was under Chongqing, blood had also splattered on Deng Ming's face, but it was the enemy's blood, and now he was a comrade-in-arms. Moreover, this man had been fighting to protect Deng Ming's safety before his death.

There was no time to reach out and wipe the blood off his face. Deng Ming slashed down with a sword, slashing the ears of an enemy soldier who was trying to hug his waist. Another blood fountain and shrill screams soared into the sky at the same time, dyeing Deng Ming's armor even more brightly. Unlike the time when he shot someone with an arrow, Deng Ming's face was no longer sympathetic. He quickly turned his head and glanced at the guard who had just fallen. He could still feel the remaining body temperature of the warrior from his left cheek. He turned his gaze back to the front, and several enemy soldiers rushed towards his horse. Deng Ming picked the nearest one and swung it down again...

"Tan Yi-de-defeated!"

"Tan Yi-de-defeated!"

From a distance, there seemed to be sounds of gongs and drums and such shouts. Although there were fighting screams around, the sound was quite loud and not completely covered.

At this time, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan had led their troops to the south slope, but the shouting was not from their direction. Although they were also shouting similar words, the Qing army that began to flee were also making similar panic calls, but most of their shouting was messy, far less neat and powerful than the sound made with the gongs and drums.

“One, two, one.”

As soon as the person shouted the horn finished speaking, twenty drummers beat the drum hard at the same time:

Dong, Dong, Dong!

After three sounds,

"Tan Yi - defeated!" More than 200 people opened their throats and shouted in unison.

Then there is the ensemble of twenty-faced gongs:

Bang, bang, bang.

“One, two, one!”

Xiong Lan made gestures when she shouted horns. If Deng Ming was there, she might have sighed that he had a bit of music command in his previous life. Even with Xiong Lan's ability, he could not drag the soldiers of Wanxian out to fight. There were not many weapons in the entire Wanxian town. They didn't have many weapons. After Deng Ming came, he searched them all because he was worried about surrendering to the army, let alone morale. In fact, after Xiong Lan rushed back to the city, he found that the several accomplices of the officers who stayed there became more and more afraid after he left. After muttering for a while, the fear in their hearts could no longer be suppressed. They had already left the city and rushed to the north to escape. Xiong Lan's explanation of changing the flag immediately was not completed due to unsupervision. Some soldiers were also worried that the Ming army would take revenge after returning to the city, and fled Wanxian with the officers.

After cursing these idiots, Xiong Lan had to supervise the work of changing the flags himself while trying her best to encourage the morale of the accomplices who were still around her. After replacing the red flag for Wanxian, Xiong Lan basically received strong men and loud voices from each team. He immediately led the team out of the city himself. Although he did not have the courage to fight with Tan Yiyu's remaining troops, he still had the courage to shout at them through Li Xu.

In order to attract more attention from the Qing soldiers and to shout in a neat manner, Xiong Lan took out all the gongs and drums that could be found to be accompanied by. Xiong Lan knew that if she didn't work hard, Ming Jun came back and wanted to spare her life without any excuses - it was obviously not a merit to arrest Tan Hong, because that was what he released. The Ming army fought very well on the river bank, and even if Xiong Lan wanted to help, there was nothing to do, so she could only try to help Prince Han.

The shouts over and over again reached the ears of more Qing soldiers, and the suspicious soldiers in their hearts also slowed down. At this time, the Qing army in the south of Deng Ming had already begun to be in chaos. Someone turned around and saw the Ming army approaching, which quickly attracted the attention of more companions around him. The Qing army on the north slope could not see the situation there at this time. The hundreds of Qing army with blocked vision could not see that Tan Yi's general flag had disappeared, nor did he know that the Ming army was approaching, but the shouts aroused their doubts and no longer attacked the top of the mountain (the river crab).

Soon someone discovered that the red flag was full of red flags in Wanxian Town at this time. This incident caused an uproar. The officers might have been complacent, but the soldiers whispered and felt that this was a strategy of the Ming army. As the panic continued to spread in the army, the offensive against Deng Ming and others completely stopped. The Qing soldiers and Ming army were separated for a distance, and then looked around.

The Qing army, who was looking around, began to listen carefully to the movements around, and immediately heard more noises from the south. The Qing soldiers on the side also saw countless defeated soldiers rolling from the south. When they saw their panic and number of people, they knew that this was definitely not pretending or partially frustrated.

"I fell into a trap!" Many Qing soldiers running north shouted shrillly, and the officers were also filled with such a sense of despair. In their opinion, even the change of flags in Wanxian was part of the Ming army's strategy at the beginning.

"Defeated." Seeing this scene, the Qing army on both sides of Deng Ming also had an avalanche. They were no longer in the mood to stalemate with the Ming army, and they threw down their weapons and started to flee north - someone had thrown down his armor before, but now it's enough to throw away weapons.

"Defeated!" Deng Ming and Zhao Tianba also lost all their fighting spirit. The enemy soldiers who were rushing to swarm for a while ago, after scrambling out the word "despair", turned around and left in front of the enemy soldiers not far away, and rushed back one by one. Seeing this scene, the soldiers behind realized that the collapse of the entire army was about to occur or had already happened. Who else would stop there?

It was not until this time that Deng Ming freed his hand to wipe the blood on his cheeks, and was able to look back and take a closer look at the guard who fell beside him. Deng Ming saw the guard lying straight on his back on the ground, with blood foam between the corners of his mouth, and he looked at the sky with his eyes wide open. Five of the twenty guards who protected Deng Ming were killed in battle, and one was seriously injured.

Deng Ming jumped off the horse, closed the victim's eyes without saying a word, and then walked back to the horse without saying a word. After turning on the horse, Deng Ming kicked the horse's belly heavily, and his mount immediately rushed out like an arrow from the string. Zhao Tianba and other guards were slightly stunned, and then rushed out one after another, following Deng Ming's back, chasing the fleeing enemy troops at full speed...

In front of them were Qing soldiers fleeing all over the mountains. Zhou Kaihuang kept leading troops behind them, chasing the fugitive enemy while also looking for traces of Deng Ming. Deng Ming's royal flag was clearly at the top of a hill, but it disappeared from behind another slope of the hill just now when Zhou Kaihuang arrived.

The bodies of the Qing army were everywhere. Although the losses of the Ming army are still unclear today, Zhou Kaihuang believed that it was minimal. The people around Tan Yi could not cause casualties to the Ming army and collapsed. When attacking the ships on the shore, they were probably a few, probably a dozen. Then they chased the dead and chased the north. Without command, lost their fighting spirit and lacked physical strength, the Qing army soldiers who were chased by the Ming army like ducks. They chased the Qing army and kept chopping them. Zhou Kaihuang did not see anyone who dared to turn back and resist.

But where is Deng Ming? If Deng Ming makes any mistakes, then no matter how much the loss is, Zhou clears the land, it is acceptable to exchange. But not only did he not see Deng Ming, he did not even see many guards around him. He only found five corpses and a guard whose legs were crushed by a horse. The guard said that he was dizzy at the time, as if he saw everyone heading north, and Prince Han was also on the north slope.

Zhou Kaihuang rushed north for a while. The soldiers of the Ming army were already very tired at this time. Many of them left the team, and even Zhou Kaihuang could not catch up. He saw that Li Xinghan's troops, who were advancing separately with him, also stopped. Many of the latter's subordinates sat on the ground, and some people fell to the ground to rest as soon as they stopped.

Li Xinghan walked to Zhou Kaihuang and said the first thing he said was: "Where is Your Highness?"

"I didn't see it." Zhou Kaihuang shook his head, his face full of worry.

At this moment, soldiers suddenly cheered. Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan turned their heads at the same time and saw the shadows of a group of cavalry coming out of a path in the distance.

The ones who came were Deng Ming and Li Tianba, as well as fourteen guards and flag-holding soldiers. The flag was still held up straight. As soon as he saw Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan, Zhao Tianba smiled and said, "I'm so weak today."

However, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan were not on him. They were both looking at Deng Ming. Now the aura on the latter was completely different from the past. After seeing the two, Deng Ming did not speak but nodded. Deng Ming's armor and mount had been completely dyed blood. His sword was locked in the sheath at waist, but he could see that as the horses bumped, blood kept oozing out of the sheath, flowing down the scabbard and ticking on the ground.

"Return to Wanxian." Deng Ming said softly.

"As for the order!" Although the voice was soft, Zhou Kaihuang and Li Xinghan felt a sense of majesty from this whisper. They both bowed respectfully at the same time-

The second update today, I remember it.
