Like Wang Shichong, he also felt lost from the bottom of his heart about the current situation.

But it was already too late, everything had happened.

"It's okay, our army still has reserves. Let Generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie strike immediately. As long as they make a move, our army can still turn the situation around!"

Dou Jiande waved his hand, signaling the messenger to notify them at once.

Previously, when Wang Shichong's defeat became apparent, Generals Cheng Zhijie and Qin Shubao had volunteered to lead their troops to break the enemy, and Dou Jiande had happily agreed.

And now, their troops should be the ones with the most intact fighting capability. If they were deployed into battle, it might not necessarily turn the situation around, but at least it could greatly improve the circumstances of the Summer Army.

However, no sooner had he finished speaking when another messenger rushed in.

"Report! My lord," the Generals Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie... they've, they've defected!"

Dou Jiande was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the messenger in a rage, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

The messenger looked innocent, "My lord, it's true! They've led a mutiny, our army is in chaos, and the Liang Army has already started attacking!"

Dou Jiande's expression became blank, and after a long while, he collapsed backward.

"My lord!"

Panic ensued inside the tent.

But, after all, being an overlord of his time, Dou Jiande only fainted momentarily from the heavy blow. After pinching his Philtrum a few times, he soon regained consciousness.

"Bring me my horse!"

Dou Jiande knew that under these circumstances, he could only fight with all he had.

As a hero risen from the common ranks, in this situation, he could definitely not sit by and wait for his demise; he had to fight desperately.

After armoring up, Dou Jiande mounted his warhorse, ready to lead his own elite personal guard into battle.

The Summer Army didn't have many horses, but Dou Jiande's personal guard was the elite of the elite.

When tactics had failed, unleashing one's bravery to the utmost could perhaps still offer a glimmer of hope to turn around the defeat.

However, not long after Dou Jiande led his troops out, he encountered a squad of Liang infantry.

Dou Jiande was somewhat puzzled. How had a squad of infantry made it this far?

But it didn't matter. He'd cut through these infantrymen first.

Dou Jiande took up his spear, spurred his horse onward, and with a loud shout, charged forward with his troops.

In his view, a mere squad of ordinary infantry would scatter upon a cavalry charge, utterly unable to resist.

But halfway through the charge, he realized that this infantry was perhaps... not so ordinary.

They were all armored head-to-toe, and each of them was tall, muscular, clearly handpicked elite from the Liang Army.

Besides that, they each held a special kind of weapon in their hands.

Modao swords.

Of course, Dou Jiande at that moment didn't know the name Modao but regarded it as an improved type of sword used to break through cavalry.

But whether these swords could break through cavalry depended on the soldier's quality and the opposing cavalry's strength.

At this point, the cavalry couldn't be scared off by the infantry, could they?

Dou Jiande shouted again, urging his troops forward.

Then, he saw the Liang infantry's leading general calmly remove his armor and step forward.

"How preposterous! Are all Liang generals so arrogant?

"Wait, could this person be the legendary... Lord Wei?"

Initially, Dou Jiande found this laughable, but the sudden thought of Lord Wei's legend from Liang made him unable to laugh.

The next second, he only saw a flash of bright sword light.

Dou Jiande held his spear, intending to kill Lord Wei from horseback, but his spear tip was deflected before it could even touch Lord Wei.

The next second, he felt the ground disappear from under him as his warhorse lost its support!

And then, Dou Jiande fell to the ground.

With a "whoosh", the Modao sword stuck into the earth, closely skimming his neck.
