Chapter 739: Thirty-six Celestial Beings hacked to death
"Brother Hua Rong, look at this..."

Yang Zhi looked at the situation in front of him. Thousands of Liangshan infantrymen were directly surrounded in the formation. He was extremely anxious. He tightly grasped the broadsword in his hand and searched the battlefield for a possible breakthrough.

"Brother Yang Zhi, don't panic. Although the female general has set up a large formation, the number of soldiers under her command is too small. Even if she relies on the formation to trap several times more soldiers than her, the originally impeccable formation will definitely have flaws."

"We just need to find the key node to break out of the formation."

Although Hua Rong was seriously injured, he was still strong. He endured the pain and quickly realized that something was wrong and said in a deep voice.

Fan Lihua's formation was indeed ingenious, but the number of people was too small, and it trapped several times more enemies, which was a big problem.

As he spoke, he pointed to a place in the formation. It looked ordinary, but it was the key to the Suzaku Formation.

As long as they can break through there, they can break the balance of the entire formation and find a chance to escape.

"Brother Hua Rong, please wait here for a moment. I will go and test the real situation there."

Yang Zhi also noticed the obvious gap. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said to Hua Rong.

After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the critical node like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Hua Rong kept his eyes on the battlefield, ready to command the remaining armored horses under his command to provide support to Yang Zhi at any time.

Fan Lihua naturally also noticed Yang Zhi's actions. She frowned slightly and waved the flag in her hand again, trying to stop Yang Zhi's breakthrough.

However, Yang Zhi was, after all, a brave general on Liangshan Mountain. How could he be easily stopped by those ordinary Hengzhou soldiers?
He wielded a broadsword, the blade flashed like lightning, and wherever he went, the Hengzhou soldiers retreated one after another.

As they were approaching that critical point, a hint of coldness flashed in Fan Lihua's eyes.

She suddenly shouted loudly, and threw the pear blossom spear in her hand violently, like a spirit snake, straight towards Yang Zhi.

Yang Zhi's heart trembled, but he reacted very quickly. He dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

However, just when he was distracted, Chen Liqing, whose graceful body could not be concealed even by her armor, had already led her army to attack him.

"Hmph, Liangshan bandit, you will never leave alive today!"

Chen Liqing let out a delicate cry, her voice filled with endless chill. She swung the pear blossom spear in her hand again, causing it to collide with Yang Zhi's broadsword, sending sparks flying.

Although Yang Zhi is brave, how can he be a match for Chen Liqing?

Under Chen Liqing's fierce attack, he gradually felt exhausted. If this continued, he would probably find it difficult to escape.

However, just when he was in despair, Hua Rong's arrow cut through the sky like a savior and went straight to Chen Liqing.

This forced Chen Liqing to distract herself and resist, which gave Yang Zhi a chance to catch his breath.

He took the opportunity to exert force and slashed at the key point with a knife.

There were only a few "plop" sounds, and as several Hengzhou soldiers flew backwards, a crack was actually created in a corner of the Suzaku Formation.

At this time, Hua Rong, who was holding on at the back, did not hesitate at all. He commanded hundreds of armored horses under his command, most of which were defeated by the three hundred Hengzhou soldiers, to rush straight to the gap like a torrent.

As hundreds of armored horses moved, they also led the Liangshan infantry around them to charge towards the gap.

"go!"

Yang Zhi shouted loudly, pulled Hua Rong and rushed out.

Seeing this, some Liangshan army infantrymen behind them also followed them to break out.

Fan Lihua looked at the Liangshan army retreating like the tide. Although she felt unwilling, she also understood the principle of not chasing after a desperate enemy.

She sighed softly, a hint of regret flashed across her brows, but then she regained the calmness that was unique to a female general.

Although today's battle failed to completely annihilate the enemy, it greatly dampened Liangshan's morale, so it can be considered a small victory.

"Humph, you guys are fast!"

Fan Lihua snorted lightly, with a hint of anger in her tone, but she still maintained the demeanor of a general.

He then waved his hand to signal the Hengzhou soldiers under his command to gather their formation in an orderly manner and completely surround the two or three thousand Liangshan infantrymen who were trapped in the formation and had no time to retreat.

This time, the closed Suzaku Formation does not have such obvious flaws!

Fan Lihua personally commanded the central army, waving the command flag, and directed the soldiers of the Hengzhou army to advance step by step and narrow the encirclement.

The infantry of the Liangshan Army originally wanted to break out of the siege, but under the precise command of Fan Lihua and the fierce attack of the Hengzhou Army, they soon fell into a desperate situation. Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, the two brave generals on Liangshan, were born hunters. They were brave and used to using steel forks and iron-tipped steel spears. They usually made a living by hunting tigers and catching animals. After they came to Liangshan, they were even more famous for their bravery and made many military achievements for Liangshan.

On the battlefield today, the two brothers charged forward fearlessly, only wanting to open a way of survival for the Liangshan army with their bravery.

It’s a pity that when the Liangshan army broke through like a tide, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao rushed too far forward and failed to keep up with the pace of retreat.

The two looked at each other, a trace of despair flashed in their eyes, knowing that it would be extremely difficult to break out at this time.

"Brother, it looks like we are going to fail here today."

Jie Zhen gave a bitter smile, but gripped the steel fork in his hand even tighter, as if to fight against the impending fate.

Fan Lihua naturally noticed these two people. A sneer appeared on her lips, and she gently waved the flag in her hand. The Suzaku Formation closed again, trapping Jie Zhen and Jie Bao inside.

Seeing this, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao were not afraid at all. They waved their weapons and fought a desperate battle with the Hengzhou army.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, not to mention that the two of them were fighting alone at this time and their physical strength had already been almost exhausted.

"what!"

Xie Zhen roared and swung his steel fork, splitting a Hengzhou soldier in half.

However, before he could catch his breath, several more Hengzhou soldiers rushed up on him, attacking his vital points with swords and spears.

Jie Bao was also extremely brave. He rushed left and right, trying to fight his way out.

But the Hengzhou soldiers were numerous and powerful, and he was ultimately outnumbered and wounded in many places, with his battle robe stained with blood.

"Humph, Liangshan bandits, today is the day you die!"

A Hengzhou Quchang sneered and swung his knife at Jie Zhen.

Xie Zhen shouted angrily, rushed forward with his steel fork, and fought with the general.

However, he had been fighting for a long time and was exhausted. In addition, he had many wounds on his body, so his movements gradually became slower.

At this moment, another soldier from Hengzhou Army took advantage of the opportunity and slashed his leg with a knife.

Jie Zhen screamed and fell to the ground.

He struggled to stand up, but was unable to do so.

Upon seeing this, the Hengzhou Quchang swung his sword and took Jie Zhen's head.

"elder brother!"

Jie Bao's eyes were bloodshot and he rushed towards the general with a roar, trying to save Jie Zhen.

However, he was also entangled by several Hengzhou soldiers and could not escape.

At this moment, there was a flash of swords and sabers, and Jie Zhen's figure slowly fell down.

His eyes were still wide open, as if he couldn't believe it.

Jie Bao, who was far away, was heartbroken when he saw this scene. He roared and struggled, but he could only watch his brother die tragically in front of him.

"what!"

Jie Bao let out a heart-wrenching roar. He tried his best and finally broke free from the entanglement of the Hengzhou soldiers and rushed towards Jie Zhen's body.

However, at this moment, several swords slashed at him at the same time.

Jie Bao was unable to dodge and was stabbed several times, with blood gushing out.

He struggled and tried to stand up, but eventually fell to the ground, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he was looking at the distant Liangshan Mountain.

Eventually, his eyes dimmed and his body completely lost its vitality.

Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, two of the thirty-six celestial beings on Liangshan Mountain, died tragically in the closing Vermillion Bird Formation. Their bodies were hacked to pieces by the swords of many Hengzhou soldiers, becoming the most tragic scene on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, all that was left were the broken bodies of Jie Zhen and Jie Bao and blood all over the ground.

Fan Lihua continued to command the Hengzhou army and launched a final attack on the remaining forces of Liangshan.
