The fifth prince had never seen what Lu Baichuan looked like before, and he had never even seen a portrait. In his heart, he looked down on Lu Baichuan, a general with a grassroots background, and felt that he was not his opponent at all.

But he has seen the portrait of Prince Jing of Beiyan. He is a descendant of the royal family after all, so there is no harm in knowing more about him.

So, after confirming that the person he was fighting with was Prince Jing, his face became ugly.

"What do you mean? This prince wants to challenge Lu Baichuan, why are you here to join in the fun?"

The reputation of King Jing of Bei Yan may not be that good. How good, he was brave and foolhardy, failed in the fight for the throne, and took the initiative to station at the border for self-protection, but achieved nothing. He was of the same royal blood, and the fifth prince expressed his contempt for him.

I feel that such a mediocre person is not qualified to fight with me.

Thinking of being stepped on and rubbed by Jiang Jiu Niang that night, he was so angry that his teeth itched, and he was bound to find a sense of superiority over Lu Baichuan.

"Let's go through this king first and then talk about it."

Prince Jing twitched his lips. He was a little worried at first. After all, this was the first time he faced him head-on. Going out to fight represents Bei Yan's face, and he is afraid that he will make a mistake and lose face to Bei Yan.

But now seeing the fifth prince of Dongting looking like a fool, he felt like no one looked down upon him. How could the Emperor of Dongting let such a person out with confidence?

Is there no one available in Dongting?

Fortunately, the fifth prince was not too entangled. He was quite open-minded and thought this would work. He would kill King Beiyan Jing first, kill their spirit, and then take down Lu Baichuan's head in one fell swoop. level, his position as crown prince is secure!

With this thought in mind, he took the initiative to attack Prince Jing.

Prince Jing has been at the border for more than two years. Although he doesn’t have much actual combat experience, he trains with the soldiers every day. He practices according to Lu Baichuan’s training manual, and his skills are not bad.

The fifth prince has always been pampered in the capital. He has some martial arts, but he does not necessarily exercise every day, and what he practices is mostly fancy fists and kicks, which is very different from the real swords and guns on the battlefield. The difference was that after just a few moves, the fifth prince panicked.

In terms of strength alone, I can’t compare to King Beiyan Jing!

I don’t know what this guy grew up on. The long-tasseled gun in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms when struck down, and he couldn’t resist it at all.

At the same time, King Jing also saw the disparity between them and felt that his previous preparations were too much. For such a weakling, he could easily kill alone!

Aware of this, he did notHe underestimated the enemy and knew that the battle could not be delayed for too long, so he used all his strength to make fatal moves.

The fifth prince was suppressed and retreated steadily on the battlefield, and the soldiers in Dongting felt anxious for him.

Didn’t the fifth prince call himself very powerful before? Why is he so good?

Their enthusiasm suddenly turned cold.

The fifth prince was frightened and wanted to escape. He jumped on his horse and was about to run away. King Jing raised his long tassel gun high, aimed at the back of the fifth prince, charged up, and then threw it straight from the back of the fifth prince's heart. Pass through the hall.

The fifth prince’s eyes widened and he vomited blood. Before he could say anything, he fell off his horse and died on the spot.

King Jing showed a smile, stepped forward and cut off his head, shouting to the soldiers behind him: "Kill!"

In an instant, the soldiers on both sides Fighting together, small black balls were thrown out one after another, and the deafening sound seemed to be celebrating their victory.

The Dongting soldiers were dead, wounded, and some simply became deserters, and everything was in chaos.

Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian, who were watching the battle in the dark, looked at each other and smiled.

"Does this count as our success and retirement?"

Lu Baichuan said: "It's still early."

Dongting has not surrendered yet. , they can continue to fight.

If the situation continues like this, they can even directly attack the capital of Dongting.

It’s just that Beiyan’s soldiers will also be tired, and they have to keep a straight line as a human being, and they can’t let the people from the other two countries look at them with fear.

Bei Yan has never been a plunderer. They fight just to protect themselves. And now they have been attacking the city. In fact, they are just to force Dongting to surrender.

The battlefield still needs to be finished, and there are still many things to do, but Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian do not intend to take action. This is the time for King Jing to show his abilities, and he must be allowed to do the whole process by himself.

Over at Dongting, the old general was forced to stay in the military camp by the fifth prince. He could not go to the battlefield to watch, but he was always paying attention to the situation. He heard that Dongting lost and the fifth prince was directly beheaded. I felt dizzy, shouted: "Heaven is going to kill me!" and fell into a coma completely.

The head of the fifth prince was taken away by the Beiyan people. This was the meritorious service of Prince Jing.

Dongting could only barely bring back his body, and the morale of the army was extremely low.

The dignified prince was beheaded on the spot, without even a complete body, and he must become the biggest laughing stock.

The fifth prince was gone, the old general was in a coma again, and there was no one in the army who could take charge, so many soldiers fled.thought.

In this current situation, there is nothing to fight for. They are losing no matter what. However, the court will not allow them to surrender. This is a clear decision for them to risk their lives.

The imperial court doesn’t care about them, so why should they fight for the imperial court?

So, when the old general woke up, most of the army officers and soldiers had fled.

"Old General, what should we do now?"

The subordinates around him were very anxious. The man in his forties wiped his tears helplessly, causing a scene. In this current situation, how can we fight this battle?

The veteran general has been in battle, so he naturally knows what is best for our situation. In the past, standing still was the best strategy. As a result, these people in the army became more stubborn than the other, and they insisted on questioning the veteran. General, this is what makes the situation what it is now.

But no matter what, the fifth prince died in the battle. Even if it had nothing to do with the old general, as the only general here, the old general must bear the blame.

The subordinates were very heartbroken, how innocent the old general was!

The old general closed his eyes sadly. Somehow, he suddenly remembered what the goddess in the dream said. The reason why Dongting is like this is because of too many sins.

Thinking of their emperor, although he didn’t show it on the surface, he also took elixirs with Wu Jiaming for many years. It was probably because of that that he ruined the country’s fortune.

Therefore, Dongting’s failure is doomed.

"Surrender."

After a long time, the old general said this.

The subordinates were even more panicked: "But the imperial court..."

"If we really have to wait until the imperial court's surrender order comes, all the tens of thousands of soldiers on the border will be gone. "

The old general had tears in his eyes. He was old and could do nothing.

"General, you must not do this! Surrendering privately is a capital crime!"

The subordinate screamed at the top of his lungs and couldn't understand how things turned out like this.

"I can bear the crime, go and take it."

The old general pushed him and shouted with all his strength: "Go!"

After saying that, I couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
