Chapter 954: The Death of a Famous General
On November 7th, heavy snow fell over the Forest of No Return, and the earth seemed to be covered with a layer of silver robes, which made people shiver with cold, but on the snow west of the Forest of No Return, there was the sound of horns, war drums and horses' hooves, and the dense two armies officially fought a decisive battle here, and the Heavenly Absolute Empire endured it for nearly half a year, and finally attacked its strongest enemy!
The legion rushed into the formation wave after wave of collision together, the roar of the dragon, the impact energy launched by the powerhouse of the god realm continued to sweep the snow on the ground, and the flames fell from the sky, and they couldn't even distinguish each other, as soon as the war broke out, it had already entered the white-hot stage, Chen Yu sent the strongest 500,000 Tianjie Empire legions to fight, and the opponent was also the strongest Yanji Legion of the Tianji Empire, an army personally commanded by the Holy Martial God Zhang Sheng!
......
In the goose feather snow, an old man with a long knife swayed slightly, he stood in mid-air, the flames swirled sharply under his feet, and he waved the long knife repeatedly, discharging the awe-inspiring knife qi hundreds of meters long into the crowd, this is none other than Zhang Sheng, the general of the Tianji Empire and Shang Qian's grandfather!
Although Zhang Sheng was old, he was extremely brave, proudly commanding the Chinese army, and let the cavalry array of the Heavenly Absolute Empire attack more than ten times in a row, but there was no big gain, but he suffered heavy losses.
You are the most elite soldiers of the Tianji Empire, it is our natural mission to defend the country, and it is our highest glory to kill the enemy in blood, if you don't move, you will live, and if you waver, you will die!
Zhang Sheng's voice echoed in the air like a bell, and although the soldiers of the Yanji Corps in the snow curtain only heard Zhang Sheng's voice, they were greatly encouraged, and their eyes were blood-red, wielding their blades to fight with their opponents.
Cavalry battalions, spear battalions, infantry and shield battalions, and archery battalions, one by one, moved forward, and then one by one they were crushed by the wheels of war, and one by one they disappeared, and war is like this, at the cost of killing, with victory as the ultimate goal.
It has been killed from dawn to noon, but the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and both sides are exhausted, but the Heavenly Absolute Empire has always occupied a slight advantage with the participation of nearly three hundred dragon knights, while on the other hand, the Yanji Corps has shown a little fatigue, and the arrows and torches of catapults, dragon hunting crossbows, and torches are almost running out.
On the snow, a bloodied war horse galloped over, one of the arms of the general on horseback had been cut off, his face was stained with blood, and the other hand grabbed the reins, looking up to the sky and saying loudly: "General, something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Sheng said coldly.
"Demon ...... The demon spirit clan appeared, they launched an attack on the left army of our army from the west side of the forest, the number of demon spirits is as many as tens of thousands, including many demon kings, demon lords, etc., it is said that even the demon emperor and the female killer are coming, our brothers are about to be unable to resist, everyone's physical strength has been exhausted, and it will be out of control if they continue to fight. ”
Zhang Sheng frowned: "The Lanji Legion is on the way to help, once we abandon the position here, it will be equivalent to handing over the eastern gateway of the Tianji Empire to the enemy, Chen Yu's kid has exhausted his skills, he will enter the plain area with a flat horse, and fight with us in the vast land, and then the Tianji Empire will have no chance of winning." ”
"This subordinate also knows, but General, we have already lost tens of thousands of horses, and if we continue to fight so hard, I am afraid that the brothers of the Yanji Corps will all be broken here!"
"How could the Demon Emperor Female Killer be in cahoots with the dog thieves of the Heavenly Absolute Empire......" Zhang Sheng was full of irritability and asked, "General Liu, isn't Lord Midnight rushing here with the War Angel Legion and reinforcements, when will they arrive?"
"Lord Midnight's army rested in Lingyuan County the day before yesterday, Lingyuan County is three hundred miles away from here, even if it is an iron horse, it will take three days, watching the offensive of the Heavenly Absolute Empire is to capture our position in one go, and we can't wait for that time. ”
Zhang Sheng sighed: "That's it...... The Yanji Corps actually had such a day, thinking that I, Zhang Sheng, was praised as an invincible general by the people of the empire, but today I fell into such a field, I am ashamed of the empire, and I am ashamed of His Majesty the Holy Emperor...... General Liu, you give the order to retreat, order the rear army, the left army, and the right army to retreat slowly, and I will lead the rear of the middle army. ”
The general surnamed Liu hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order!"
The drums of the retreating army sounded rapidly, and in the snow curtain, the soldiers of the Yanji Corps smiled as if they had been pardoned, and the army retreated one after another, leaving only nearly 60,000 Chinese troops alone to resist the army of the Heavenly Absolute Empire.
But Chen Yu obviously didn't want to give his opponent any respite, the dragoons in the air danced wildly, the ground iron cavalry array rushed wildly, and the demon army on the other side covered up, the Chinese army of the Yanji Corps was surrounded in a blink of an eye.
......
This battle lasted for a day and a night, and in the early morning of the next day, the heavy snow was still falling, and the entire snowfield was already dyed red, but the red snow was quickly covered by the new snow, and the position of the Chinese army of the Yanji Corps became smaller and smaller, from the original number of miles to a mile, and then to hundreds of meters, until finally less than 10,000 people were surrounded by the opponent.
"Hong!"
The flames rose into the sky, and it was Zhang Sheng's long knife that swept out, and the hundreds of meters long flame sword qi instantly turned a group of Heavenly Absolute Empire Iron Horsemen into flying ashes, and the power of the God Emperor should not be underestimated, not to mention the God Emperor of the 84-fold Cave Heaven like Zhang Sheng.
But after a day of fierce fighting, Zhang Sheng's strength was not as good as before, his face was quite pale, and the palm holding the long knife trembled slightly, his divine power was only less than thirty percent, if it weren't for the protection of the divine wall, I am afraid that he would have been shot by the demon heart arrow used by the opponent's dragoon regiment.
"Protect the General!
The remnants of the army were defeated, and the remnants were endless.
But soon there were only a few thousand troops left, and they were facing hundreds of thousands of horses from the Heavenly Absolute Empire, and under the disparity in strength and weakness, it seemed that the Yanji Legion had no chance at all.
The crowd of the Iron Cavalry Regiment slowly separated, and one person rode out on a horse, dressed in a pure white robe, and his clothes were quite handsome, it was Chen Yu, the emperor of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, and beside him were Han Yuan and Liaoyang, two uncles and nephews who were responsible for protection.
"Old General Zhang Sheng!"
Chen Yu looked up at Zhang Sheng, who was standing proudly in the air, and said: "You are a senior, and you are also an elder of the Tianji Continent, the three empires on the continent are one, and we are also one family, why fight to the point of no reservation?
"How do you shake hands and make peace?" Zhang Sheng's cloudy eyes shot out a fine light.
"It's simple. ”
Chen Yu spread his hands and said: "Senior, you put down your sword and join the army of my Heavenly Absolute Empire, the younger generation admires the merits and conduct of the seniors, and is willing to worship you as the general of the Heavenly Absolute Empire and canonize you as the king, I don't know if the old general is willing?"
"Canonized as king?"
Zhang Sheng trembled, laughed and said: "Chen Yu really deserves to be Chen Yu, he has such courage at a young age, and the old man has made countless contributions to the Tianji Empire and is only a marquis, in my Tianji Empire, only the children of the Northern Hell Imperial Family can be crowned king, I didn't expect His Majesty Chen Yu to actually give the old man the title of king, hahaha, it's really surprising to me." ”
"So, the old general agreed?" Chen Yu smiled in surprise.
Zhang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "No, I refuse! Even if I fight to the last soldier, I, Zhang Sheng, will never surrender, let alone ...... My Zhang family, merchants, and even the people of Tianji City praise me Zhang Sheng for his courage and loyalty, if I surrender, how can this old face face my countrymen and my family?"
As he spoke, the long knife in Zhang Sheng's hand was instantly burned red by divine power, and he laughed and said, "Fight, even if I die, I won't kneel down to the dog thief!"
"It's just stubborn!"
Chen Yu frowned, and said, "Continue to cover up and kill, and leave no armor behind!"
Han Yuan said: "So, what about Zhang Sheng? He is the Taishan Beidou of the Tianji Empire, if we ...... If we kill Zhang Sheng, I'm afraid that old guy Sikong Ming will not be able to sit still. ”
"I'm just going to make him unable to sit still!"
Chen Yu gently pulled out his sword and said, "Kill! Lord Han Yuan, look at you, come to see me with Zhang Sheng's head!"
"Yes!"
......
After a stick of incense, the remnants of the Yanji Corps disappeared from the snow, while Han Yuan fell from the sky, throwing a bloody human head in his hand and rolling down on the snow, it was the head of the white-haired Zhang Sheng, as a god emperor, he would rather die in battle than break the void and escape, this is Zhang Sheng's respectability.
Chen Yu squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Zhang Sheng's old puppet ......"
Han Yuan took out a crystal clear godhead from his arms and said, "This is Zhang Sheng's immortal casting personality, Your Majesty, please smile." ”
"No need. ”
Chen Yu shook his head: "Since it was killed by Lord Han Yuan, then you can keep this immortal casting grid for yourself." ”
"How...... Zhang Sheng died in battle, as if His Majesty was unhappy?" Liaoyang seemed to see something.
A trace of sadness crossed Chen Yu's eyebrows, and he said: "I just feel sorry, a famous general like Zhang Sheng shouldn't have died in battle like this, but there is no one in the Tianji Empire, if there are a few more people like Zhang Sheng, I'm afraid we won't be able to set foot in the territory of the Tianji Empire even if we have more soldiers and horses...... Come on, bury Zhang Sheng, bury it here, build the martyr's mausoleum, and capture the county town in front of us as a resting place for our army in the starry night. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
......
Two days later, the news came back to Tianji City, and above the main hall, the ministers were shocked.
"General Zhang Sheng...... ......Did he really die in battle? He's an old man, but he's a god emperor......"
"Yes, how could such a strong man die in battle?"
"I heard that the Heavenly Absolute Empire has used Han Yuan and other god realm powerhouses from the Heavenly Absolute Sect. ”
"Then it's no wonder, the empire is in danger. ”
