My strength increases by 100 pounds every day

Chapter 22 Yang Hongtian’s persecution!

The other direction.

At the foot of a mountain.

A large number of defeated soldiers gathered here, each covered in blood, groaning miserably, crying for brothers and calling friends.

The Red Scarf Army, which originally numbered hundreds of thousands, was rushed and killed by Yang Hongtian's men, and was immediately dispersed. Only 70,000 to 80,000 people were left and fled here.

As for the others, they all fled to no one knows where.

Zhao Tianlong's face turned livid, he gritted his teeth, grabbed a wine jar, and smashed it against the ground.

"Child Yang Hongtian, I will kill you!"

He shouted angrily.

"Chief, now that the army has been defeated for the first time and the people are disorganized, it is no longer suitable to continue fighting. It is better to withdraw temporarily and wait until we recharge our batteries before making a comeback."

A middle-aged scribe spoke.

"Quit temporarily?"

Zhao Tianlong looked gloomy and said: "It was hard to force Yang Hongtian to the Xuanlong Pass area before. I wanted to use Yang Lian to severely damage the opponent's morale, and then go all out to completely win the Xuanlong Pass, but I didn't expect that Yang Lian would be defeated miserably. It’s really frustrating!”

He clenched his fists subconsciously and suddenly asked, "How is Yang Lian?"

"General Yang was seriously injured. First, his mouth and arms were damaged, and then he was hit by a knife in the chaos. Now he has difficulty moving."

A general spoke quickly and said: "By the way, the piece of meteorite iron is also lost, and it should be obtained by Yang Hongtian."

"What?"

Zhao Tianlong's face became darker and he said: "Take me to see Yang Lian first."

"Yes, chief."

The general walked over directly.

Not long after.

Zhao Tianlong entered a temporary tent and saw Yang Lian, a burly man who was originally two and a half meters tall. He was now covered in blood and bandaged. He was miserable. He was lying on the bed, motionless. Only his chest was still slightly shaking. ups and downs.

"Lian'er, how are you?"

Zhao Tianlong asked with concern.

"Father, where is my star meteorite?"

Yang Lian asked in a difficult tone.

"The meteorite iron has been lost and was probably obtained by Yang Hongtian."

Zhao Tianlong spoke.

"Yang Hongtian, Jiang Shi, I'm going to kill you!"

Yang Lian cried out in hatred, his eyes filled with angry flames, and said: "Father, send someone to Tianhu Mountain quickly to ask my senior brother to take action. As long as my senior brother comes out of the mountain, he will definitely kill that little monkey."

"Oh? Senior brother?"

"My senior brother is physically stronger than me, and only he can take back the Star Meteor Iron!"

Yang Lian gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Tianhu Mountain overnight!"

Zhao Tianlong nodded, suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, find out the origin of that Jiang Shi immediately, I will make him walk around without food!"

"Yes, leader!"

People around him clasped their fists.

···

In the battlefield.

A large number of Red Flame Army and Jianghu people are taking stock of the battlefield.

Under the leadership of the general, Jiang Shi walked through the crowd and came to a high slope.

I saw Yang Hongtian in green robes and armor, covered in blood, with unparalleled momentum, sitting high on a seat, and his whole person was indescribably high-spirited.

"Greetings to the commander-in-chief!"

Jiang Shi handed over.

"Jiang Shi, you defeated Yang Lian this time, boosted the morale of the army, and made great contributions to our Red Flame Army. I wonder what reward you want?"

Yang Hongtian spoke calmly and asked.

"I don't dare ask for any reward."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Jiang Shi, please hand over the meteorite iron first. According to the military regulations of our Red Flame Army, any materials captured on the battlefield belong to the Red Flame Army, and the meteorite iron is no exception. Hand it over!"

Suddenly, Zhang Shan, who was wearing silver robes and armor, said coldly and looked at Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi frowned immediately.

He worked hard to get this mace, how could he hand it over so easily?

The other generals around him also looked at Jiang Shi, revealing a hint of oppressive aura.

"Jiang Shi, hand it over quickly..."

Xiong Kaishan on one side also whispered quickly to remind Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi's heart suddenly surged and he gritted his teeth secretly.

"Okay, don't force him. Now that the traitor army has not been completely wiped out, this star meteorite iron should be temporarily given to Jiang Shi for safekeeping. Only in his hands can it exert its greatest power. Wait until we wipe out the traitor army and then hand it over to the meteorite iron. It’s never too late.”

Yang Hongtian, who had a delicate face, spoke calmly.

"Jiang Shi, why don't you thank the commander immediately?"

Zhang Shan shouted.

"Thank you, Commander."

Jiang Shi's heart was gloomy and he clasped his hands into fists.

The clay figurine is still angry!

This practice of handing over what he worked so hard to obtain made him extremely unhappy.

It also made him even more reluctant to stay in the military.

"Jiang Shi, you have made great achievements this time. Why don't you stay in our Red Flame Army completely? Our army still lacks a few forward captains. You stay and serve as one of my forward captains. You can enjoy two How about ten taels of silver, ten energy pills, and even the star meteorite iron?"

Yang Hongtian continued with a calm tone.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, I am a disciple of Zhenwu Temple. All major matters are decided by the master and the elders. I do not dare to make any private opinions."

Jiang Shi handed over.

"Excuse!"

Zhang Shan, who was wearing silver robes and armor, scolded him coldly and said, "Why haven't I heard that Zhenwu Temple has such a requirement?"

"Everything I say below is true."

Jiang Shi spoke.

"Really? That doesn't matter. I've made the decision for your leader and elders. From today on, you will stay with me and will not return to Zhenwu Temple."

Yang Hongtian said.

"Forgive me, Commander-in-Chief, I'll..."

Jiang Shi spoke quickly.

"enough."

Yang Hongtian's tone was light, and a pair of eyes suddenly fell on Jiang Shi. Their eyes were deep and deep, like sharp knives, forcing people's hearts, and said: "Jiang Shi, I think you are a talent, so I made an exception and kept you by my side. You refused again and again. I’m really a little ignorant, could it be that... you think I don’t dare to do anything to you?”

"Don't dare."

Jiang Shi's expression changed.

"As long as you don't dare, just step back."

Yang Hongtian waved.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Jiang Shi clasped his fists and retreated.

It wasn't until he left this place completely that he looked gloomy and clenched his fists tightly.

"Commander, I'm afraid this kid is dissatisfied."

An old man dressed as a Confucian scholar looked at Jiang Shi's back and said.

"Not convinced?"

Zhang Shan, who was wearing silver robes and armor, sneered and said: "In my Red Flame Army, there is no way he can disobey."

"Report!"

at this time!

A Red Flame Army sergeant rushed from a distance, clasped his fists and said, "Commander, the casualties have been counted. Currently, the number of people left in the Red Flame Army is 54,000, and the major Jianghu sects have less than 2,000 left. More than 80,000 people were captured.”

"Fifty-four thousand people?"

Yang Hongtian frowned and said: "The number is too small. Go to Huangzhou immediately and notify the various sects to continue to transfer people. In addition, select the strongest among these prisoners to form a vanguard and temporarily stay in the army. All others will be dismissed."

The so-called vanguard refers to a suicide squad composed exclusively of prisoners and used to charge into battle.

In a duel between large armies, this kind of vanguard is undoubtedly the first to be unlucky.

"Chief Soldier, the major rivers and lakes sects have already sent away 89% of their elites. Now if we ask them to continue sending people, I'm afraid they may not be willing."

The old man wearing a Confucian shirt next to him frowned and said, "Be careful of forcing them too deeply and triggering their resistance."

"Yeah?"

Yang Hongtian narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, saying: "These Jianghu sects are the biggest worry for the imperial court. If possible, I really intend to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Only if they are exterminated will this barren state be able to Peace.”

"Now the traitor army is everywhere in the rear, massacring cities and towns continuously. No one can stop it. Only these Jianghu sects can temporarily resist one or two. The commander-in-chief should not push too hard now. Wait until we free up our hands and completely destroy the Red Turban Army. , it’s not too late to deal with these Jianghu sects again.”

The old man in Confucian shirt said.

Yang Hongtian frowned and said: "That's what I say, but we can't let these Jianghu sects get too comfortable. Send an order and ask them to send a few more elders from each sect!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

The sergeant hugged his fists and withdrew again.

"Don't underestimate these Jianghu sects. I asked them to send out 80% to 90% of their elite before, but I'm afraid not a single sect will follow suit. Now with more strength, I'm sure they can still squeeze out the juice."

Yang Hongtian said coldly.
