Luoshixin had been through countless battles and had encountered many opponents, from those who were merely famous in name to true and powerful warriors. However, a situation like today's was unprecedented. The man with the snake spear was cunning and fierce, with immense strength. It was unimaginable that such a formidable figure would hide in the crowd to launch a surprise attack.

Even with his extraordinary martial arts, Luoshixin narrowly avoided being caught off guard. At the critical moment, he twisted his body and skillfully slid to the left side of his horse's belly. His superior agility and exquisite horsemanship allowed him to evade the attack. If it had been anyone else, they would have been either dead or half-dead.

Luoshixin despised such despicable people and showed no mercy. He thrust his spear upward with a mighty and awe-inspiring force.

When Yizhi Houwen lost sight of Luoshixin, he sensed something was amiss and had prepared for a counterattack. However, when he realized that the spear was moving freely through the distance between them, the sudden rush of fierce wind and the bone-chilling cold enveloped him. The spear's momentum had completely surrounded him, cutting off all his escape routes!

The fierce wind howled, and Yizhi Houwen's mind went blank. He had no time to think and could only rely on instinct to block the spear with his own weapon in front of his chest!

A dull thud echoed as the black iron spear pierced through the snake spear's defense and directly into Yizhi Houwen's heart.

Luoshixin ended Yizhi Houwen's life with one thrust. He lifted the corpse with his spear, and with a flick of his wrist, it flew through the air and was slammed into the crowd like a baseball. The body hit the ground like a cannonball, knocking six people off their horses.

Luoshixin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an epiphany. He charged towards the nearby cavalry, piercing through one heart after another and throwing the bodies into the crowd. This time, he knocked down seven more people.

With a loud laugh, he charged left and right, continuously throwing bodies into the crowd, forcing the cavalry to scatter. In this way, he shattered the formation of the two hundred well-organized cavalry, leaving them in disarray.

"Are you just going to stand there? Attack!" The cavalry's strength lay in their collective impact when gathered. Now, with over two hundred cavalrymen scattered by Luoshixin, it was the perfect opportunity for the infantry to strike.

Luoshixin's loud command rallied the scattered infantry, who quickly reformed their ranks and charged forward.

The infantry could reorganize much faster than the cavalry. Once they were in formation, they surged forward.

The well-organized infantry faced the scattered cavalry, and the advantages of the cavalry were completely nullified.

Luoshixin led nearly a hundred infantrymen, and they managed to hold their ground against two hundred elite cavalrymen.

Yizhi Wendu's heart was bleeding. He had watched his son, whom he had raised, be killed and desecrated by Luoshixin. He had also seen his carefully trained elite soldiers being suppressed by a single man. With his keen eye, he could see that Luoshixin's troops, despite their numerical disadvantage, were indeed elite, but still slightly inferior to his own cavalry. The combination of numerical and type advantages should have led to a one-sided victory, but the battle had turned out differently.

Luoshixin, with his single-handed efforts, had mobilized a hundred men to crush all disadvantages and firmly controlled the flow of the battle.

Yizhi Wendu came from a poor background. As a child, he had saved a Han scholar who had fled to Liaodong, and under his tutelage, he was deeply influenced by Han culture. He was highly literate and could even write poetry. He learned military strategy from "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, excelling in wisdom rather than physical strength. He had always thought that the legendary heroes like Xiang Yu, Huo Qubing, and Shi Wansui, who could turn the tide of battle with their personal bravery, were mere legends. Today, seeing Luoshixin's performance, he realized that there were indeed such heroes in the Central Plains.

"I made a mistake!" Yizhi Wendu was deeply saddened but managed to control his emotions. He ordered, "Throw all the troops into the battle and overwhelm them with sheer numbers!" His original plan was to use elite troops to counter elite troops and keep his forces ready for the approaching main army. However, he had underestimated Luoshixin's bravery and immediately changed his strategy: he would do whatever it took to kill Luoshixin, believing that such a formidable figure would not be an unknown. Killing him would demoralize the enemy and crush their spirit.

Every step was calculated, and Yizhi Wendu proved to be a cunning and experienced strategist.

As the Goguryeo troops surrounded him, Luoshixin felt the pressure increase. Looking around, he saw that at least a thousand soldiers were closing in. He could still hold his ground, but the soldiers behind him began to fall, cut down by the enemy's blades.

"Follow me!" Luoshixin knew that in such a dire situation, the actions of a general set the example for all the soldiers.

A brave general inspires brave soldiers, while a cowardly general leads to cowardly soldiers.

He pulled the reins, and his horse seemed to turn into a bolt of lightning, charging into the enemy ranks with great courage.

He ignored the soldiers behind him, knowing that hesitation would only hinder them. His spear flew, slicing through the enemy like a knife through butter, and several men fell from their horses, clutching the new holes in their bodies.

Four iron spears thrust at him simultaneously. Luoshixin roared and swung his spear, sending the four riders and their horses crashing to the ground behind him.

Indeed.

Seeing Luoshixin's bravery, the remaining soldiers mustered their last strength and followed him through the blood-soaked path he had created, swinging their weapons left and right. They knew that only by following this invincible war god could they have a chance to survive.

The desire to live fueled their courage, and they fought alongside Luoshixin.

Watching this from a distance, the sisters Jinde Man and Jinsheng Man were speechless.

After Luoshixin was released, they had gathered the city's spies and secretly observed the battle. They had seen everything.

"An invincible hero, this is what the term 'ten thousand men's enemy' means in the Central Plains!" Jinsheng Man gazed at the god-like figure, filled with emotion.

Jinde Man nodded silently and said, "General Yuxin, now you understand. Your defeat was not unjustified."

Yuxin had always blamed himself for failing to protect Jinde Man and Jinsheng Man, but now his guilt was gone. It was not his fault; the enemy was simply too strong.

They then saw a comical scene: the Goguryeo soldiers were all circling around Luoshixin, trying to attack from behind.

No one dared to face Luoshixin head-on anymore.

"Look!" Jinsheng Man suddenly pointed ahead.

Jinde Man and Yuxin followed her gaze: there was Yizhi Wendu, who, as Luoshixin fought more fiercely, had no choice but to throw all his troops into the battle. He was now left with only a dozen guards.

Jinde Man's eyes gleamed, and she said, "General Shixin may seem to be at a disadvantage, but he is actually in control. It's better to help in a crisis than to add to a victory. General Yuxin, lead everyone to secretly flank and directly attack Yizhi Wendu."
