Chapter 338: Yu Chengfeng's sorrow
At this time, Guo Xing's five hundred mages and the one hundred paladins who came to help had already bypassed Zeming City and entered the low mountains and hills in the rear. They crouched in the jungle, watching the battle in the distance, Guo Xing's face was full of sneers: "Hmph, this kind of strategy is wonderful, but it's a pity that when I meet someone Guo Guo, I can only joke and talk about it." ”
Guo Xing's side, Marion, the leader sent by the Paladin Alliance, was tinkering with his brilliant golden explosive head, and said impatiently: "Lord Guo, General Yu's rear camp has been copied, aren't we still on it?"
"What's the hurry?" Guo Xing sneered, "When the time is ripe, we'll start casting spells, isn't it time now?"
"It's not time yet, do you have to wait until General Yu's army is wiped out?" Marion still couldn't hold his breath.
"The chairman is the protagonist of this war, Yu Chengfeng is just a trick that can't be smaller, and he hasn't even moved his old man, what kind of excitement are we making around?" Guo Xing said disapprerovingly, "Look at it, wait for those enemy soldiers who think they are smart to take the bait." ”
In Guo Xing's plan, Yu Chengfeng's troops could have been completely sacrificed, or rather, how much Yu Chengfeng's troops could survive depended on their own creation, Yu Chengfeng could die, but the final winner of the war was the Human Guild. In this game within a game, within a set, only Guo Xing and Sutron know how to catch that big fish.
At this moment, the rain of arrows on Zeming City stopped, because the archers of the Middle Kingdom had already shot all the arrows they had in a very short time. Seeing this, the advancing guild army cheered loudly in unison, and they happily climbed the tower to wantonly kill the soldiers of Zhongguo.
Watching more and more Guild Army soldiers slaughter the city, Pierre looked at the banner of "Zhong" raised behind the Guild Army, and he understood that his mission was over.
"I'll leave it all to you, General Geiger. Pierre muttered to himself, he gathered the remnants of the army around him, and broke through to the east gate, and the soldiers who could not escape were frantically slaughtered by the guild army.
Geig's army stopped a short distance behind the Guild Army, and 10,000 crossbowmen quickly formed a formation in six columns, while another 10,000 troops were placed on either flank. At this time, nearly half of Yu Chengfeng's troops did not enter the city outside Zeming City. A hint of death swept over Geiger's face, and with the swing of his arm, a wave of arrows shot into the guild army's back.
With the crisp sound of arrows entering the bones, a large number of guild troops fell, and the ruthless black arrows harvested a large number of lives. Looking at the Zhong **** battle flag flying behind him, Yu Chengfeng knew that he had fallen into a trap, and it was a bottomless dead trap!
"You bastards!" Yu Chengfeng didn't know who he was scolding, it turned out that he thought he could bring the soldiers, and he looked excited, but now he knew that his subordinates, including himself, were just a group of guinea pigs that could be sacrificed anytime and anywhere, for the victory of the main army, they would be ruthlessly abandoned, without them, Sutron was insignificant. Thinking of this, Yu Chengfeng's heart was greatly shaken, perhaps in this world, everyone did not recognize the existence of him as a "defensive warrior".
Yu Chengfeng, a person who could only "defend", desperately wanted to prove that he could "attack", so, these days, he has paid thousands of times more sweat than others, trained hard, and finally stood out among the heroes of the human guild and was favored, and when he knew that he was just a guinea pig, and the first battle was a battle that was bound to be lost, how could he deceive his soldiers, instill in his subordinates with the belief of victory, and boost the morale of the whole army? However, he may not be able to be ruthless, and bluntly say that they will definitely die, in this way, even the last bit of value of the sacrifice will be lost, and once the army's morale is broken, no matter how weak the enemy is, he will not be able to win. The last value of their existence is only to fight a little more enemy army, and that's it......
"Lord Xia Yanfeng...... "At the moment of life and death, Yu Chengfeng muttered the name in his mouth. At that time, it was Xia Yanfeng who gave him confidence and warmth, and asked him to fight for tomorrow like a real man, but until now, all the people respect him on the surface, but they still look down on the same "ineffective attack" man in their hearts, and even some of the subordinates are not very convinced of him, so everyone uses him and doesn't really trust him, Sutlon doesn't think he can win the battle. In the entire Heavenly Continent, I'm afraid that only Xia Yanfeng has truly recognized him.
He was lost, he was helpless, thinking back to the battle with Xia Yanfeng, he smiled bitterly, he was helpless, how much water did Xia Yanfeng let him go in that battle? Once the battle really started, he would immediately have to be beaten back to his original form. Perhaps this is his fate for Yu Chengfeng, the sadness of being a "defensive warrior".
After thinking about it so much, Yu Chengfeng felt that he was about to go crazy, but he did not forget his mission because of madness, he must now fulfill the responsibility of a general, that is, to save his soldiers as much as possible.
Yu Chengfeng had a dream, in which the torrential rain poured down, and the flood swept in like a fierce lion and beast with its huge mouth open, and the monstrous waves mercilessly swallowed up the camp he was stationed in the low-lying area. On the high slope in the distance, the red-faced and long-bearded general held a cold long knife in his hand, and watched all this coldly, and the enemy soldiers rowed small boats, constantly capturing his men, while he, with his shield and sword, desperately ran through the torrent to kill the enemy, but to no avail of the overall situation.
Yu Chengfeng was a general in his dream, but the defeat was decided, and he was powerless to return to the sky with his own strength. Seeing the soldiers beside him being swallowed up by the flood one after another, killed or captured by the enemy, and in a state of embarrassment, his heart was shaken, and he had to make a choice, and perhaps when he made that choice, the whole world would scold him, cancel him, call him a coward, say that he was unfaithful, that he failed to die a martyr, and ridicule him for not being able to survive his old age. You must know that the eldest husband has gold under his knees, and he would rather take righteousness and become benevolent, and the horse leather shroud should not be a slave of surrender, and he will be proud of dying on the battlefield in battle, and he will die for life and greed for life.
In the dream, it was a picture of his past life, a picture of the sea of spirits. Yu Chengfeng was not afraid of death, his previous life was also a famous and brilliant general, as a general, he should not be afraid of death. But seeing his comrades-in-arms around him ruthlessly robbed of their most precious lives, he was still shaken.
Because the generals are all human beings, not gods, they cannot ignore all things, there are too many defeats that they can't undo, too many lives that can't be saved, and in the vast fog, all ten thousand people are gone, and they are all lambs waiting to die. Choosing to die, Yu Chengfeng may be able to win the name of loyalty and righteousness, and attract the praise of future generations, but those soldiers are drowned in the huge waves, who will pay back their lives? They are also living people, all have fresh lives, if the boss dies, what awaits them is only to become fish and shrimp in the water!
"I ...... Surrender ......" sighed with a cool breath, when he said this, he had already thought of the result of never being able to turn over, how much courage did he have to spend!
If he does not descend, his lofty image will forever be recorded in the annals of history and will be recited through the ages, but the soldiers will become his burial objects, and he will bear the cross that will never be removed, but the tens of thousands of soldiers can be saved. He couldn't be so selfish when he gave up his life, he would have a guilty conscience, and it would be difficult for him to feel at ease when he entered the Yellow Spring!
In Yu Chengfeng's previous life, he chose to give up his first life in exchange for a glimmer of life for the soldiers of the whole army. The consequences of doing this, he knows very well, the rest of his life will be dark, the enemy laughs at him, the lord despises him, and even his own people will sigh at him, however, if he wants to watch the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers die, he will never be able to do it!
If it were Su Tren or Xia Yanfeng, he would probably not care about the life or death of those small soldiers at all, in order to win, any teammate could be used as a stepping stone! However, Yu Chengfeng is different, he does not have an iron-like heart for his subordinates, and he will not bear to exchange the death of others for his own reputation.
Yes, he hates himself, just because he is too weak, so in his past and present lives, he was looked down upon!
This is Yu Chengfeng, this is his fate, the bitter water of his previous life has no chance to pour it out after all. Did he lose to anyone? No, he lost to himself! He lost to his soul, he lost to his heart!
At this moment, the dream is finally waking up, and the reality is not the previous life, but it is better than the previous life!
Under Yu Chengfeng's order, the guild army outside the city was divided into two parts, the front rushed to the city, the back turned on the spot, and then killed back.
Looking at the reckless Guild Army, Geiger stopped the archers' volleys, told them all to retreat, and then formed a formation again. Immediately afterward, the troops arranged on both flanks were dispatched to fight the guild warriors who had turned back.
Yu Chengfeng didn't send troops to attack again, he knew that as long as he sent people out to save those soldiers who turned around, then the Zhongguo army that was now fighting with them would retreat, and what was waiting for them was still the damn rain of arrows, so these people couldn't come back, he could only watch them die, this was helpless as a general but the only right choice.
At this moment, he chose to be cruel, but rather than waiting until the end to meet despair and die in battle, at least he could go to Huangquan with faith, which was undoubtedly much happier than holding on to the end. Since there is no way out, he can't save anything, if he surrenders, he is afraid that he will live up to Xia Yanfeng's trust again, for him, as long as there is a confidant to trust, it is enough! Therefore, his only choice is to let the soldiers die more worthwhile.
