Chapter 151: The Death of Changle (20)
"Adjutant General Zhang, the army has been fully equipped. The sergeant looked at the man on the hillside with a stern expression, his armor and even his face were covered with mud, and his face was full of tiredness from the turmoil of last night.
"What about the situation of the army I asked you to count?" Vice General Zhang also looked tired, looked back at the sergeant behind him, and asked with a strong spirit.
The sergeant was shocked and hurriedly replied: "Last night, more than half of the war horses and baggage were lost, so there were less than 100,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry. ”
After listening to the sergeant's report, Adjutant General Zhang looked down at the burden in his arms, which contained the head of the shallow ink war, looking at the head in his arms, Vice General Zhang's face suddenly changed, and he saw him violently lift the head of the shallow ink battle above his head.
"Soldiers, soldiers!" the soldiers present focused their eyes on him, and the horror and anxiety of last night were still written on their faces, and everyone had a tired face.
"Soldiers, last night we wiped out more than 50,000 brothers, including our commander, General Qianmo, and my hand is his head!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked!
"General Qianmo has led us to fight for many years, he has never left us to flee alone, but today he died in the hands of the rebels, although we survived, but there is no commander, we are lost dogs, even if we return to the Eastern Capital alive, we will be ridiculed!"
"I, Zhang Cheng, am the deputy general of General Qianmo, and I am also a retainer of the Qianmo family, today I will hold high the head of the general, and ask everyone if they are willing to kill back with me!
"Avenge the general" Someone in the crowd kept shouting, "We want revenge!"
Zhang Cheng's face was full of determined expression. Seeing the tens of thousands of people under him shouting the slogan of revenge, his heart was also boiling, and he wrapped the human head of Qianmo again. whispered into the package: "The general will help me get ahead!"
"The army will march out and take the Southern Wilderness Castle!" With Zhang Cheng's order, the remaining 250,000 troops once again marched in the direction of the Southern Wilderness Castle.
And in the dense forest not far from the army, several people were watching intently.
"Master, they really refuse to give up. A figure whispered, and behind him, it was Changping, only to see him smile coldly.
"Hmph. After all, it is an army of 300,000, and it will not be so easy to return home. Changping shook his head, "It seems that there are still too few dead people, you two go and inform King Nan and Qiushui Boyang, and it will go as planned." ”
"Yes. The two dark shadows nodded, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
"Master, our spies have already been mixed in, and we have less than twenty brothers left, do we want to continue to follow?" Changping was surrounded by the Shura ghosts who were born and died with him last night. A one-night sneak attack, although it killed the shallow ink war, but also paid a lot of price.
Changping looked at the remaining Shura ghosts behind him, who were just dying walking corpses on death row a few days ago. And now he is wearing battle armor and is involved in this human conflict, and life and death are only between the lines, Changping thought of this. I couldn't help but show a smiling expression on my face: "Your mission has been completed, and it is your ability to survive." If you want to leave now, let's go, I'll do what I say. ”
As soon as they heard this, the few surviving Shura ghosts were suddenly stunned, although they wore strange masks, their eyes were still shining, and their voices trembled slightly, "Master, are you really willing to let us go?" The leading Shura ghost said with a little excitement.
"What's not to be willing to do, when I chose you, I said that your task is to help me capture and kill the enemy marshal, and now that the man is dead, I will naturally fulfill my promise. I'm a god king, how can I not count what I say?!" Changping looked at everyone with a serious face, "Okay, don't rub it off, if you want to go, just go quickly, and live well in the future." ”
After Changping finished speaking, he turned around and jumped onto the trunk of the tree in the distance, and the person disappeared like this, leaving the Shura ghost behind him to look at each other......
At this time, the conquest army has bypassed the garrison attacked last night, the army marched quickly all the way, Zhang Cheng knew that time is the most important thing now, although the soldiers under his command have rekindled their fighting spirit through their own encouragement, but after all, this is just a radical method, time has dragged on for a long time, everyone's hearts will definitely change, so, at present, he can only speed up the march, and strive to rush to the Nanhuang Castle before dark, as long as the castle is surrounded, the next thing is to wait for reinforcements from the Eastern Capital.
"Herald!" Zhang Cheng shouted, and a soldier rode over.
"Pass the order, speed up the march, abandon the heavy equipment, and be sure to reach the Southern Wilderness Castle tonight!"
"Yes!" the herald did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rode towards the back of the group, shouting Zhang Cheng's order in his mouth.
The march of the army was indeed much faster, and the ground was full of discarded baggage, heavy wagons, artillery, and boxes of ammunition.
Looking at the mess in one place, the corners of Changping's mouth not far away couldn't help but show a smile, and then looked not far away, the Southern Wilderness Castle was already standing in front of his eyes.
A bird suddenly appeared in the sky, and fell straight in front of Changping, the bird's legs were tied to a small bamboo bucket, Changping took out a note from it, and by the hazy moonlight, he saw that the note had four words written on it, "Everything is ready", and the sign of the Qiushui tribe was painted at the place of payment.
Changping's note was torn to pieces and scattered with the wind, and his cold eyes looked at the direction of the army in the distance, and let out a long breath: "Life and death are fate!"
"General! The Southern Wilderness Castle is in front of you, is the army stationed on the spot to rest and recuperate?" Zhang Cheng looked back, and it was a young general who spoke.
"Are you?" asked Zhang Cheng casually.
"The subordinate is Xiaoqi School Guard Lengquan. The other party looked up at Zhang Cheng.
As soon as he heard the other party's name, Zhang Cheng was slightly surprised, and he suddenly remembered that this Leng Quan was the son of Leng Qingzhou, a famous general in the Eastern Capital, and this Leng Qingzhou was born and died in the Eastern Capital and the Qianmo War, and the two families even made a baby kiss, Leng Qingzhou this time was to let his son follow the experience of the Qianmo War, and he was ready to marry the eldest daughter of the Qianmo family when he went back.
If it was put in the past, Zhang Cheng would be more or less polite to this general, but now is the critical moment for his own achievements, and it is very eye-catching for him to run out like this.
Zhang Cheng's face tightened: "Leng Xiaowei, time is not waiting, the enemy is in front of us, our surprise attack is to surprise him by surprise, how can we rest here?"
"But the army, forcibly marching all the way, is already exhausted, if you go to war directly, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it. "Cold Spring is unceremonious.
"We are the elite of the Eastern Capital, how can they compare with us, okay, now I am leading the troops, you just have to obey orders!" Zhang Cheng looked impatient.
Leng Quan looked at Zhang Cheng's face and knew that he was powerless, "In that case, I hope the general can give me a troop and let me be the queen in case of emergency!"
Zhang Cheng looked at Leng Quan, and thought to himself that after this gate, it turned out to be nothing more than that, greedy for life and afraid of death, and wanted to hide in Hou Mina, but it was okay, if he died, I still had to explain to the Leng family and let him hide behind, and I didn't have to worry about him coming to rob him.
"Okay, the 5,000 men and horses in the back are led by you as a reserve. ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!" Leng Quan took the order and rode towards the back of the group. Zhang Cheng looked at his back as he left, but there was a disdainful smile on his face.
"Divide the troops into three routes, and surround the Southern Wilderness Castle for me!" Zhang Cheng roared, and rode his horse to the front of the team, and the army of nearly 250,000 was quickly divided into three teams, like three black giant pythons rushing towards the Southern Emperor Castle under the moonlight......
