Chapter 23: The Death of Liang Cheng
As a scholarly family, Ren Zhichen became the head of the condolence group, enlightening the villagers who lost their relatives one by one. But this small-scale approach is still not as fast as the villagers who commit suicide in a hot head. Finally, the city was defended, and the life was saved, so he committed suicide so easily, what is the meaning of the dead soldiers and relatives, what is the meaning of the price they paid with their lives?
With the help of the defenders, Ren Zhichen gathered a group of people together to speak: "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, I know that you have all lost your relatives, some have lost your children, some have lost your husbands, some have lost your brothers and sisters, and some have lost your parents.
Actually, like you, I also lost my loved ones, my father, and I felt like the sky was falling, and I felt that I couldn't live anymore. We can be sad and sad, but we must not just take our own lives like this, and all my fathers and fellow villagers, think about why our relatives died, and they did so to protect our lives! The reason why we are still alive now is precisely because they were not afraid of death on the battlefield and paid the price of their blood and lives!"
"Now their bones are not cold, and their great revenge has not been avenged! What kind of face do we have to go to see them under the Nine Springs? How difficult it is for us to defend the city and save our lives, and then we commit suicide so easily, what is the significance of the dead soldiers and relatives who paid the price of their lives? What is the significance? It is easy to die, but it is difficult to live. It's been a hundred years since I died, and I want to inherit the will of the deceased while I am alive, and one day, I will avenge these dead souls!" Ren Zhichen said.
......
Just when Ren Zhichen was appeasing the people of Binlin City, Jun Chen's right eyelid was beating, and a bad premonition came to him, so he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and no longer chase the soldiers who fled back to Shanghai in embarrassment.
Today's results have been expanded to the maximum, and if the pursuit continues in this way, it will provoke the soldiers returning to Shanghai to fight back to the death, and when the time comes, it will only increase unnecessary losses for their own side. And the brave soldiers, even though they were unwilling in their hearts, stopped the pursuit and retreated in an orderly manner after receiving the order to collect their troops.
And Liang Cheng, as a guest, although he was unwilling, still turned around and prepared to return to his troops. Suddenly, a sharp and fast cold arrow flew from behind him, piercing through Liang Cheng's back and piercing his heart with one arrow!
"Poof-" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Liang Cheng, who was riding on horseback, fell from his war horse to the ground.
"Captain—" The only remaining nine gold-armored warriors under Liang Cheng's squad shouted in unison, and they all dismounted to rescue them.
Hearing this exclamation, Jun Chen turned around and saw Liang Cheng who had fallen to the ground and the other nine gold-armored warriors who were rushing over, and their figures rushed over in a flash.
"Brother, hold on!" Jun Chen clenched Liang Cheng's right hand.
"General, can you help me take care of my daughter-in-law and children?" Liang Cheng said intermittently with blood in his mouth.
"Liang Cheng, hold on, you will definitely live!" Jun Chen said.
"Promise me!" Liang Cheng.
"Okay, I promise you!" Junchen nodded solemnly.
"Ask again...... General one thing...... I have heard that the general is the enemy of all men...... Ten thousand armies take the enemy's head from it, like probing for things...... ...... for me Retrieve the commander of the Huzhong Army for me...... The first level of ...... Can...... Okay?" Liang Cheng's hot eyes stared at Jun Chen's eyes.
"......" Junchen nodded again in response to Liang Cheng's gaze, "Okay!"
"Hahaha......" Liang Cheng laughed three times intermittently, his neck crooked, and his voice stopped abruptly.
"Captain—" Tears welled up in the corners of the eyes of the nine golden-armored warriors.
On a scorching summer night, a cold wind suddenly blew, and everyone felt that the temperature around them seemed to drop a lot in an instant, Jun Chen's black hair fluttered, and he picked up the long sword discarded by Liang Cheng from the ground, and slowly stood up, his cold face couldn't see much change, as if nothing had happened.
But the golden-armored warriors who are familiar with Jun Chen know that Jun Chen is in an absolute state of anger at this moment, and he is extremely angry, so he is getting calmer and calmer on the surface.
"You guys, retreat!" Jun Chen stared at the enemy army in front of him.
"Yes!" The nine gold-armored warriors really wanted to accompany Junchen to avenge the captain Liang Cheng, but they still obeyed the order and retreated, because they knew that if they went, they would only drag Junchen back and cause unnecessary casualties.
Jun Chen slowly closed his eyes and took a long deep breath: "Whew-"
"Throughout the ages, across the world, Lingyun soars into the sky. Thousands of troops roared, thousands of horses roared, smiled indifferently, Liao Yuchen was insignificant. Before the sound of the poem sounded, Jun Chen's figure was already dozens of zhang away, and he took out the fastest speed in his life and rushed towards the Chinese military camp back in Shanghai.
Seeing Jun Chen's movements, Yang Lie shook his head: "The so-called heavenly evil can still live, but self-inflicted evil cannot live!" This scene he saw in his eyes, the Chinese army commander at the peak of the Tongfan Triple Heaven was unwilling to fail, and shot an arrow at Liang Cheng that condensed his whole body strength, indeed he succeeded in killing Liang Cheng, but it completely angered Jun Chen.
Yang Lie naturally knew why the commander of the Chinese army had to kill Liang Cheng, because if it wasn't for Liang Cheng's sudden attack on the eighth day of the siege, the morale of the defenders of Binlin City was greatly boosted, and his morale was reduced, so that Binlin City could continue to hold on. Because the first five days of the siege were basically in the release of water, in order to lure the surrounding cities to send troops to support, the Binlin City, which had been attacked for three days with all its might, was about to be breached. Moreover, under the leadership of Liang Cheng, the imminent defenders caused heavy losses to the army returning to Shanghai.
However, at this moment, Jun Chen moved, so Yang Lie naturally had to deal with it, and put a crossbow arrow on top of the giant crossbow to lock Jun Chen.
Feeling Yang Lie's qi, a sneer hung on the corner of Jun Chen's mouth, his eyes glanced at Yang Lie like a dead man, and then he ignored it, and fought in the camp of the Chinese army back to Shanghai with a sword in his hand, his goal was only one - the main general of the enemy army, if he did not die, Jun Chen would not stop.
Feeling Jun Chen's gaze, Yang Lie was suddenly shocked, and an unprecedented crisis instantly enveloped him. It seems that as long as the crossbow arrow in his hand is launched, then the person who dies in the next second will definitely be himself. This feeling was so strong that Yang Lie thought that this might be the real situation that would happen next. He had never felt this before, and he trembled inwardly, feeling that his soul was about to leave him.
"Tick ......" A drop of cold sweat fell and made a faint sound, Yang Lie retracted his mind from the shock, he slowly put down the crossbow arrow in his hand, and the unprecedented sense of crisis disappeared, as if it had never existed. But when he picked up the giant crossbow again and aimed at Jun Chen, this sense of crisis enveloped him again, and it was even stronger than before, and he almost sat on the ground with his legs weak.
It's too evil, what the hell is going on? Is it hell? Is there really a ghost in this world? Yang Lie muttered in his heart, staring at Jun Chen with solemn eyes, as if he was looking for an answer.
"Everyone get out of here, my goal is only your main general, if you don't want to die, get out!" Just a few breaths of Yang Lie's secret shock, hundreds of corpses had fallen around Jun Chen, although it played a certain role in delaying Jun Chen's actions, but it was impossible to stop Jun Chen's progress at all, and Jun Chen was getting closer and closer to returning to Shanghai.
And when the monarch was about to move on, Yang Lie's figure stood in front of him, holding a long sword in Yang Lie's hand.
"Are you sure you want to stop me?" Jun Chen said coldly.
Yang Lie nodded with a hint of determination: "After all, I am a part of returning to Shanghai, and I have also been a general returning to Shanghai, even if I know that I am dead, I must stop you at this time!"
"Oh?" Junchen stopped, "Then why don't you use your giant crossbow?"
"......" Yang Lie.
"I'll answer for you, you're still afraid of death!" Jun Chen said, "However, if you can give up your strengths and stand up to fight me, you still overcome the fear of death." As a sign of respect for you, I will only use my own strength!"
Speaking of the seven words "own strength", Jun Chen made these words very clear. Yang Lie seemed to notice and asked, "Can you tell me what your back hand is?" It actually made me tremble so much that I couldn't use my strengths. ”
"No advice!" Jun Chen said.
"That's right, these kinds of questions are the deepest secrets of a person, and no one will know about them except the dead. Yang Lie nodded in understanding, "Let's kill each other!"
"Look, your lord has already begun to abandon the Chinese army camp and run away on his own!" Jun Chen said.
"I stood up just to let him go!" Yang Lie said.
"Okay, it's a pity that I can't satisfy you!" Jun Chen raised the long sword in his hand with both hands and slammed it into the ground, "Heaven is destroyed-"
A golden sword shadow pierced the sky and fell from the sky towards Yang Lie's head. Yang Lie condensed his whole body strength to resist Jun Chen's confident blow. Although Yang Lie's face was solemn, this terrifying blow was not particularly difficult to resist, and he was only slightly injured on his body, if it wasn't for his unskillful swordsmanship, Yang Lie could take the initiative to break it, and there was no need to passively resist at all.
"Let's show your true strength!" Yang Lie lowered his head and looked at the one in front of him, "......"
Where is Jun Chen's figure, when he turned around, he saw Jun Chen riding on horseback, holding a human head in his hand, scurrying among the soldiers: "See, this is the fate of your main general!"
It turned out that while Yang Lie was resisting Jun Chen's extreme move, Jun Chen had already swept past Yang Lie and beheaded the main general of the enemy army.
The soldiers who returned to Shanghai dared to approach Jun Chen's side, and fled one after another, fearing that they would not be as good as the main general. But at this moment, Jun Chen no longer kills people, but Yang Lie, who rushed back, smiled coldly: "You are an admirable person, and you are also a person with principles and bottom lines, I broke the covenant between you and me today, count me as owing you an agreement!"
After speaking, Junchen rode away, leaving only Yang Lie, who was constantly shocked in his heart. He looked at Jun Chen's back on the horse, and in his heart he was so tall and intimidating! After a long time, Yang Lie expressed such a feeling: "Da Chen has such a good general and such a soldier, why not be happy, why not be happy!"
After sighing with emotion, Yang Lie issued an order for the whole army to return to Shanghai instead of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army returning to Shanghai. In this way, a war between the two countries ended in less than half a month.
Seeing the return of the head of the enemy general led by Jun Chen, more than 10,000 soldiers of the Dachen Dynasty and 2,000 heroes of Qingfeng Village began to cheer. Subsequently, more than 12,000 people led by Jun Chen returned triumphantly towards Binlin City.
(There should be a lot of people who don't want Liang Cheng to die, in fact, I don't want to, I originally arranged a lot of uses for it, after all, it's sometimes difficult to come up with a name.) But I thought about it for a long time, and I still think that Liang Cheng must die in this chapter, because he is not dead and cannot expand the plot in the future, and his death will promote the smooth development of the plot in the future, otherwise it feels very far-fetched and the plot is incoherent and unreasonable.
In addition, I would like to reveal here that there are two worlds of yin and yang in this book, and Liang Cheng's story will not end here because of death. )
