Chapter 2611 Two generals join forces to injure Shengxu, Jiang Hou heads north to Jing County

Xingbei Road, Jing County.

The cold winter wind, carrying dust and a faint smell of blood, swept across the tattered "田" (field) character banner atop the city wall of Jing County.

This important town, the southern gateway to Xingbei Road, has endured a series of fierce attacks from the troops of Yao Xiong, a famous general of the Great Qian Dynasty, for more than thirty days and nights.

The city walls and surrounding areas were already a shocking scene of devastation.

Tian Pan can no longer afford to retire.

In the preceding months, he had already squandered all of his remaining strategic depth.

After the southern half of the road is gone, if we continue to retreat, there are not many fortified cities left to defend the capital.

There are indeed many cities between here and the capital, but some of them simply do not have the foundation for long-term defense.

But after Tian Pan held out here for a full month, especially after the enemy's reinforcements arrived, he was clearly in a desperate situation. Of the 15,000 soldiers in the city, more than half had been lost, and almost everyone who remained was wounded.

"General Tian, ​​it's time to prepare for a breakout. There are eight thousand troops each in Nanhu County and Ju County behind us, which can be used for another battle!" Leonidas, whose face was full of fatigue, suggested from the city wall.

Leonidas was initially on the western front, fighting alongside Wu Qi and Zhu Quan at Tian Ji's battlefield. However, as the Qi army suffered repeated defeats on the southern front, the Qi government had no choice but to discuss with Wu Qi and secretly transfer him to the southern battlefield where Tian Pan was stationed.

In fact, not only Leonidas, but also Lancelot, two top-tier generals, were secretly transferred by Wu Qi to the southern front.

After these two men secretly arrived on the southern front, they successfully exploited an information gap. Taking advantage of the fact that the Qian army on the southern front was unaware of their arrival, they suddenly attacked Jiang Shengxu, the Qian army's top general on the southern front, during the battle between the two armies.

As a local outstanding member of the younger generation of the Great Qian royal family, Jiang Shengxu's martial arts level is not bad, but what is more daunting is his poison skills.

As a figure on the list of the most poisonous creatures in the world, his reputation for poison is absolutely terrifying.

However, although his poison is potent, his actual skills are not a threat if compared to others of the same level.

Without considering the factor of poison, he is considered one of the weaker ones among those of the same level.

Of course, if we take the poison factor into account, let alone those of the same level, even those stronger than him would not want to run into him on the battlefield.

If you prepare in advance, you can also poison your weapons like Huang Feng did, making your opponent wary of you.

When dealing with those who use poison, or those like Fu Tian who secretly use hidden weapons on the battlefield, no one cares about rules on the battlefield.

While there is a bottom line on the battlefield, once one side crosses it first, the others will only continue to cross it.

However, this is under the premise of some preparation. Who in their right mind would continuously coat their weapons with poison? If everyone did that, who would dare go to the battlefield?

Therefore, if someone encounters such a person in a skirmish on the battlefield, they will feel disgusted as well.

On the southern front, Jiang Shengxu was once an overwhelming force against the Qi generals, and many Qi generals died at his hands.

This time, however, Leonidas and Lancelot joined forces. In the midst of the chaotic battle, they suddenly emerged from among the soldiers, catching their target off guard and successfully inflicting serious injuries on him with their combined strength. Although this was their first time fighting together, their teamwork was remarkably seamless.

Lancelot jumped out first to attract the opponent's attention, while Leonidas suddenly closed in on foot and slashed Jiang Shengxu, putting him in a disadvantageous position.

The moment Jiang Shengxu fell from his horse, he was already injured by the two men who were prepared.

In particular, since they were facing a master of poison, both of them had also coated their weapons with poison.

In other words, Jiang Shengxu's mastery of poison is quite remarkable; ordinary poisons are no match for him and instead become nourishment for his poison skills.

Even if it's some potent poison, his poison skills might not be able to directly neutralize it, but his resistance to these poisons is quite strong, and he can't be harmed for a while.

Otherwise, Jiang Shengxu might not have been able to make it out of the battlefield that day.

Of course, after severely injuring each other, Leonidas and Lancelot dared not push each other too far.

If they leave each other no way out and force each other to fight to the death, they might both end up losing here.

Both of them are now Han generals, and it's good enough that they can help Tian Qi fight; there's no need to risk your life for them.

Furthermore, the enemy army does not only have Jiang Shengxu as a general; there is also Yu Yuan present, who also makes them wary.

Although Leonidas had successfully blocked Yu Yuan's Blood-Transforming Divine Blade in a previous battle with Yu Yuan's apprentice, it didn't mean he wasn't wary of this master-apprentice duo's signature move.

Of course, Yu Yuan was equally wary of the two of them. Like Jiang Shengxu, he was skilled in using his methods, but aside from those methods, his normal strength was indeed the worst among those of the same level.

Without the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, even a mid-level Divine General like Yu Yuan might not be able to defeat Leonidas in a one-on-one fight.

While his Blood-Transforming Divine Blade is indeed powerful, the fact that he can use such a hidden weapon indicates that the distance between the two people is definitely not that far.

No matter which of the two people he slashes at, after that slash, the other person can basically get close to him.

Under these circumstances, after rescuing Jiang Shengxu, Yu Yuan naturally saw no need to cause any further trouble or take any more risks. He immediately protected the seriously injured Jiang Shengxu and retreated.

At this point, Leonidas and Lancelot had already achieved their goal. Even if they failed to kill Jiang Shengxu, his injuries would prevent him from appearing on the battlefield for at least two months.

Without Jiang Shengxu, and with only Yu Yuan, the two of them working together might be wary of the opponent's Blood Transformation Divine Blade, but they wouldn't be afraid.

For a shield-wielding general like Leonidas, it's not unacceptable to risk taking a hit if absolutely necessary.

However, after finally defeating Jiang Shengxu, with the destruction of Da Xuan, Jiang Qian, the general on the southern front, returned north, and the even stronger Jiang Hou also appeared on the battlefield.

Thus, after holding out for so many days, facing the desperate situation in Jing County, Leonidas and Lancelot could only advise Tian Pan to break out as soon as possible while they still had some troops.
