Text Chapter 954: The Death of a Famous General

November 7. Heavy snow is flying over the Forest of No Return. The earth seemed to be covered with a silver robe. It was so cold that I shivered. But the sound of horns soaring to the sky, the sound of war drums and the sound of horseshoes came from the snowy ground west of the Forest of No Return. The densely packed two armies officially fought a decisive battle here. The Tianjue Empire endured it for nearly half a year. Finally, he made a move towards his strongest enemy.

The legions rushed into the formation wave after wave and collided together. The roar of the dragon. The impact energy unleashed by the strong man in the divine realm continuously swept the snow on the ground. Groups of flames fell from the sky. Can't even tell each other apart. As soon as the war broke out, it has entered a white-hot stage. Chen Yu dispatched the strongest 500,000 Tianjue Empire Legion to fight. And the opponent is also the strongest Yanji Corps in the Tianji Empire. An army commanded by the Holy Martial God Zhang Sheng himself.

...

In the heavy snow. The long beard of an old man with a long knife swayed slightly. He stands in mid-air. Lie Yan whirled rapidly under his feet. He kept waving the long knife. A series of awe-inspiring swords hundreds of meters long were released into the crowd. It's not someone else. It was the general of the Tianji Empire, Shang Qian's grandfather... Zhang Sheng.

Although Zhang Sheng is old. But extremely brave. Sit proudly in the army. Letting the cavalry formation of the Tianjue Empire attack more than ten times in a row did not result in much gain. On the contrary, he suffered heavy losses.

"The three armies listen to my orders. Stand firm for me. You are the most elite soldiers of the Tianji Empire. Defending the country is our natural mission. It is our highest honor to kill the enemy in blood. If you don't move, you will live, and if you shake, you will die. Give me kill."

Zhang Sheng's voice echoed in the air like a bell. The soldiers of the Yanji Corps in the snow curtain only heard Zhang Sheng's voice. But very encouraging. All eyes were blood red. Swinging a weapon and fighting with the opponent.

Cavalry Battalion, Spear Battalion, Infantry Shield Battalion, Archer Battalion. One by one the battalions moved forward. Then one by one was crushed by the wheels of war. Disappeared one by one. That's what war is. At the cost of killing. With victory as the ultimate goal.

Killed from dawn to noon. The snow is getting bigger and bigger. Both sides are exhausted. However, the Tianjue Empire has always had a slight advantage with nearly three hundred dragon knights participating in the battle. On the other hand, the Yanji Corps showed a little fatigue. The catapults, the arrows of the dragon hunting crossbow, and the torch stones are almost used up. In positional warfare, the outcome is determined by rushing into the formation and combat power. Obviously, the 250,000 troops of the Yanji Corps had gradually become a lone army surrounded by the opponent's 500,000 troops.

on the snow. A bloody war horse galloped forward. An arm of the general on horseback had been cut off. His face was covered in blood. The other hand held the reins. Looking up to the sky, he said loudly: "General, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Sheng said coldly.

"Demon spirits... a family of demon spirits appeared. They launched an attack on our army's left army from the west side of the Forest of No Return. There are tens of thousands of demon spirits. There are many demon kings and demon lords among them. It is said that Even the demon emperor female murderer is coming. Our brothers are about to be unable to resist. Everyone has exhausted their physical strength. If we continue to fight, it will be out of control."

Zhang Sheng frowned: "The Lan Ji Corps is on their way to help. Once we give up our position here, it will be tantamount to handing over the eastern gate of the Tianji Empire to the enemy. That kid Chen Yu has done his best. He will do everything in his power." Enter the plains. Fight with us on the vast land. At that time, the Tianji Empire will have no chance of winning."

"This subordinate also knows. But the general. We have already lost tens of thousands of horses. If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that all the brothers of the Yanji Corps will be lost here."

"How could the demon emperor, female murderer, be collaborating with the bandits of the Tianjue Empire..." Zhang Sheng was full of irritability. Asked: "General Liu, isn't Lord Ziye rushing here with the Battle Angel Legion and reinforcements? When will they arrive?"

"Master Ziye's army rested in Lingyuan County the day before yesterday. Lingyuan County is three hundred miles away from here. Even iron cavalry will take three days. Seeing the offensive of the Tianjue Empire, it is going to attack our position in one go. There is no waiting. by that time."

Zhang Sheng sighed: "Forget it...the Yanji Corps unexpectedly had such a day. I think I, Zhang Sheng, was hailed as an invincible general by the people of the empire. But today I fell into such a situation. I am ashamed of the empire. I am ashamed of His Majesty the Holy Emperor... General Liu. Send an order to retreat. Order the rear army, left army, and right army to retreat slowly. I will lead the central army to the rear."

The general surnamed Liu hesitated for a moment. He cupped his hands and said, "Yes. This subordinate obeys."

The drums of the retreating army sounded hurriedly. In the snow curtain. The soldiers of the Yanji Corps smiled as if they had been forgiven. The army retreated one after another. However, there were only nearly 60,000 Chinese troops left to stand alone against the army of the Tianjue Empire.

But Chen Yu obviously didn't want to give his opponent any chance to breathe. Dragonriders in the sky dance wildly. The cavalry on the ground rushed forward crazily. Coupled with the cover-up of the demon spirit army on the other side. In the blink of an eye, the central army of the Yanji Corps was surrounded by groups.

...

This battle lasted a full day and night. In the early morning of the next day. The snow is still falling. The entire snow field has been dyed red. But the red snow was quickly covered by new snow. The position of the Yanji Corps' central army is getting smaller and smaller. From the original few miles to one mile. Then it became hundreds of meters. Until the end, less than 10,000 people were surrounded by opponents.

"flood."

Flames soared into the sky. It was Zhang Sheng who raised his long knife and swept away. The hundreds of meters long blazing saber energy instantly turned a group of cavalry from the Tianjue Empire into fly ash. The power of the God Emperor cannot be underestimated. What's more, Zhang Sheng is a god emperor with 84 caves.

But after a day of fighting. Zhang Sheng's strength is not as good as before. His face was quite pale. The palm holding the long knife also trembled slightly. He has less than 30% of his divine power left. If it weren't for the protection of the divine wall, he might have been shot and killed by the magic heart arrow used by the opponent's dragoon regiment long ago.

"Protect the general. Kill."

Remnants defeated. The remaining prestige is endless.

But soon there were only a few thousand troops left. What they were facing was hundreds of thousands of people from the Tianjue Empire. There is a huge disparity between strength and weakness. It seems that the Yanji Corps has no chance at all.

The cavalry group slowly separated. One rode out. Dressed in a pure white robe. Dressed to win the snow, the attitude is quite handsome. It was Chen Yu, the emperor of the Tianjue Empire. And beside him are two uncles and nephews, Han Yuan and Liao Yang, who are in charge of protection.

"Old General Zhang Sheng."

Chen Yu looked up at Zhang Sheng who stood proudly in the air. He said: "You are a senior. You are also the elder of the Tianji Continent. The three empires on the mainland are one. We are also one family. Why fight to the point of no reservation. The junior Chen Yu dared to invite Mr. Zhang Sheng The general lays down his arms. Shake hands and make peace. How about it."

"How can you shake hands and make peace?" A gleam shot out of Zhang Sheng's cloudy eyes.

"It's very simple."

Chen Yu spread his hands and said: "Senior, put down your weapons and join the army of our Tianjue Empire. The younger generation admires the merits and conduct of the seniors. I am willing to worship you as the general of the Tianjue Empire. Canonize you as king. I don't know if the old general is willing."

"Canonize as king."

Zhang Sheng trembled all over. He laughed loudly and said: "Chen Yu really deserves to be Chen Yu. He has such courage at a young age. The old man has made countless contributions to the Tianji Empire and he is only a prince. In our Tianji Empire, only the children of the Beiming royal family can be named kings." .I didn’t expect His Majesty Chen Yu to give the old man the title of king. Hahaha. It really surprised me.”

"So. The old general agreed." Chen Yu smiled pleasantly.

Zhang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "No. I refuse. I, Zhang Sheng, will never surrender even if it is the last soldier in the battle. What's more...my Zhang family, merchants, and even people in Tianji City all praise me Zhang Sheng is loyal and loyal. If I surrender, how will this old face face my countrymen? How will I face my family."

talking. The long knife in Zhang Sheng's hand was instantly burned red by divine power. He laughed loudly and said, "Let's fight. Even if I die. I won't kneel down to you and other thieves."

"Simply stubborn."

Chen Yu frowned. Said: "Continue to cover up and kill. No piece of armor will be left behind."

Han Yuan said: "Then. What about Zhang Sheng? He is Taishan Beidou of the Tianji Empire. If we...if we kill Zhang Sheng, I'm afraid that old guy Sikong Ming won't be able to sit still."

"I just want to make him unable to sit still."

Chen Yu gently pulled out his sharp sword. Said: "Kill. Master Han Yuan. It's up to you. Bring Zhang Sheng's head to see me."

"As ordered."

...

After a stick of incense. The remnants of the Yanji Corps disappeared from the snow. And the won fell from the sky. A bloody human head was thrown down in his hand. Rolling down on the snow. It was the head of the gray-haired Zhang Sheng. As a God Emperor. Even would rather die than shatter the void and flee. This is what makes Zhang Sheng respectable.

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. He said coldly: "Old man Zhang Sheng..."

Han Yuan took out a crystal clear godhead from his arms. Said: "This is Zhang Sheng's immortal cast. Your Majesty. Please accept it."

"No need."

Chen Yu shook his head: "Since it was killed by Mr. Han Yuan, then you can keep this immortal cast grid for yourself."

"Why... Zhang Sheng died in battle. It seems that His Majesty is not happy." Liao Yang seemed to have seen something.

A trace of sadness flashed across Chen Yu's eyebrows. Said: "I just feel sorry. A famous general like Zhang Sheng shouldn't have died in such a battle. However, there is no one in the Tianji Empire. If there are more people like Zhang Sheng, I am afraid that even if we have more soldiers and horses, we will die." Unable to set foot on the territory of the Tianji Empire... Come, someone. Bury Zhang Sheng generously. Bury him here. Build the Mausoleum of Zhonglie. Xingye captured the county in front of him as a resting place for our army."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

two days later. The news was sent back to Tianji City. Above the main hall. The ministers were shocked.

"General Zhang Sheng... really died in battle. He... the old man is a god emperor..."

"Yes. How could such a strong man die in battle?"

"I heard that the Tianjue Empire has used Han Yuan of the Tianjue Sect and other god-level powerhouses."

"No wonder then. The empire is at stake."
