Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 755 Kill Wang Li and return victorious!

Just as Wang Li had half lifted up his body, Ying Bu's eyes flashed with ferocity, like a beast cornered. He did not reach for the iron axe that was within reach, but instead, as his body rolled, his five fingers plunged into the thick pile of rotten leaves and mud under him like iron hooks! With an astonishing speed and strength, he threw a handful of filth with slippery mud and the stench of humus at Wang Li's face!

Wang Li's eyes suddenly went dark! The cold mud with a strong smell of earth and corruption instantly covered his mouth, nose and eyes, completely depriving him of his vision. Even more fatal was that the sticky mud blocked his breathing, and the strong feeling of suffocation accompanied by the huge panic of not being able to see anything was like a cold tide that instantly drowned him! He instinctively let out a vague cough, and the movement of swinging the sword inevitably stagnated, and the offensive that was originally ready to go collapsed instantly.

This is the fatal stagnation!

Ying Bu let out a roar that was not human voice from deep in his throat, and his whole body bounced up from the ground like a spring compressed to the extreme. He did not use the axe blade that was close at hand, but instead tightly grasped the end of the heavy axe handle with both hands, poured all his weight and brute force into it, and smashed down violently towards Wang Li's neck and shoulder blade area that was exposed due to suffocation and panic with the force of a mountain pressing down on his head!

"boom--!"

The dull, heart-stopping sound of flesh and bones colliding exploded in the dead silence of the forest. The hard weight ball at the end of the axe handle was like a siege hammer, hitting Wang Li's shoulder and neck firmly.

Wang Li's body suddenly stiffened, and all his movements froze instantly. The shocked expression on his face, mixed with dirt, seemed to be frozen. The bronze sword slipped out of his hand and fell powerlessly on the thick rotten leaves, making only a slight muffled sound.

Then, like a felled piece of rotten wood, he fell forward without even a groan of pain, his whole face buried deep in the cold, smelly mud and rotten leaves, without any sound.

Deathly silence once again enveloped the dark forest, heavier and thicker than before. Only Ying Bu's heavy breathing, like a bellows, tore at the suffocating air. His tall body swayed slightly as he stood beside Wang Li's prostrate body, like an iron tower that had climbed out of a pool of blood in hell. Sweat, mud, and blood of unknown people mixed together, flowing and dripping along his knotted muscles and tattered armor, hitting the rotten leaves at his feet, making a slight but startling "tap...tap..." sound.

He hunched his back slightly, looking down at the famous Qin general. Wang Li's body lay quietly in the mud, only his back rose and fell very weakly with every heavy breath. Until the end, it slowly returned to complete calm, and Ying Bu finally won.

This battle made Ying Bu realize that the Wang family was indeed a family of famous generals. Even Ying Bu had to admit that Wang Li was very strong. In Ying Bu's opinion before, Wang Li was not qualified to be compared with himself. But after the actual fight, he realized that the opponent's strength and willpower were shocking to him.

At this time, Ying Bu had to admit that if the two armies were fighting on the front battlefield, Ying Bu was not sure of winning.

But in terms of fighting power, Wang Li is still not as good as Ying Bu. The reason why he was able to fight to the end was mainly because Ying Bu had already experienced a battle when he raided Wang Li's camp, while Wang Li retreated as soon as he found something wrong, and his physical strength was much better than Ying Bu's.

This was also the key reason why the battle had been dragged on until now. After winning, Ying Bu no longer had any strength left. He sat down at the root of the tree, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with the smell of blood.

When Ying Bu opened his eyes again, he was already in a carriage. He wanted to get up but couldn't because of the extreme soreness and injuries. When he left the carriage, he had already returned to Yangping Pass. At this time, Zhang Liang had already been waiting for Ying Bu's return.

"General Ying Bu! You have made great contributions. I have explained the situation of this battle to the Prime Minister."

When Zhang Liang saw Ying Bu getting off the car, he immediately congratulated Ying Bu and explained the situation to him.

"Military Advisor, it's fine if others say this, but you are mocking me. If it weren't for the military advisor's planning and early layout of this battle, how could Wang Li fall into the trap, giving me the opportunity to kill Wang Li? The credit for this battle should naturally go to the military advisor."

Follow who you want to learn from. This is why Gao Yao placed Zhang Liang next to Ying Bu. Zhang Liang is good at planning and is well versed in the ways of the world. He also has a straightforward temper and can enter the court and end up in the countryside. Only such a person will not have a gap with Ying Bu.

At the beginning, Ying Bu had a bad temper. He only thought about making achievements, gaining more power, commanding more soldiers, and killing more enemies. This was a good thing. After all, if a general did not have these confidences, he would be a little timid. Ambition is necessary, but it must be controlled within a certain range. Therefore, Zhang Liang was able to cope with Ying Bu's temper and at the same time, he was able to warn Ying Bu and make him realize that there were many things he could not do.

So at this time, Ying Bu's first reaction also changed significantly, that is, to push the credit to Zhang Liang, not only to gain favor, but also did not hinder his military achievements.

"General Ying Bu, there is no need for us to be so polite. There is another good thing."

At this time, Zhang Liang directly started talking about another matter.

"Good news? Could it be from the Prime Minister..." Ying Bu was a little excited after hearing Zhang Liang's words, thinking that it was a compliment from Gao Yao.

"Not so fast. Even if there is praise, it won't be so fast. And General Ying Bu, you have to understand that in this battle, you can fight but you can't get any reward. Do you understand?"

Zhang Liang also reminded Ying Bu at this time, and at the same time reminded Ying Bu not to get carried away, after all, the situation was different.

The previous attack on Wang Ben was because Wang Ben came to us. Taking Hanzhong was Gao Yao's established strategic goal. All the contributions should not be forgotten.

But this time, it was not Gao Yao who ordered the attack on Wang Li. Although it was a defensive counterattack, ordinary soldiers did not know about this kind of thing, but many senior generals in the army could see the tricks involved. Therefore, Gao Yao would definitely not reward him openly, and not punishing him was already good enough.

After all, once this kind of thing is rewarded publicly, then future senior generals in the army may follow suit and attack without authorization, which would be a huge sin. Therefore, this kind of thing must never be rewarded publicly.
