Chapter 1328: One Night of Fish and Dragon Dance
On the other hand, if he helped Zhao Cheng to win, he would be reused and gain great power under the current system of the new country, but he would be a minister after all, different from a king.
After all, in essence, Zhao Cheng is just a king now, and a southern wasteland is not enough for him to be an emperor...
After thinking this through, Cao Zheng's expression suddenly became stern, and he no longer had any hesitation in his heart.
With his personality, if he could be a master, he would not be a minister.
The idea of surrendering before was just because he had no choice, and he was a hero who knew the times.
Now, the fate of heaven is up to him, so it depends on who gives more.
Although he had many thoughts, in reality, it didn't take long. The few men serving around Cao Zheng just saw their generals staring at the battlefield, silent for a while, and then their expressions became stern and shouted: "Cao Yi!"
"I am here!"
Immediately, a general knelt on one knee.
"You take the troops of the right five battalions, two battalions are used for strategy, and the third battalion is in ambush. Pretend to open a path, but don't really let it go, in order to delay time."
"If the enemy retreats, you also retreat. If the enemy advances, you also advance. You must give the Zhao thief a false impression that he may break through from you!"
"At this moment, the Zhao thief is coming out of Lianshan, and he must want to launch a surprise attack. In this case, even if he knows it is a trick, he will not give up easily."
"I have sent someone to inform the commander-in-chief. If we can keep this army, we will all be great achievements, and the court will never be stingy with rewards!"
"Ye Zong!"
"The commander is here!"
"You take the troops of the left five battalions and press forward step by step..."
...
Cao Zheng arranged one by one. Although he didn't take long to make up his mind, he was very decisive in doing things. Once he made a decision, he would act vigorously and without any dragging his feet.
And his orders were issued one by one. Although they were just made, each one was well-organized and had its strategic purpose.
As for the actions of his soldiers before this, no one was smart at that time, but they were trained like this on weekdays.
Once the situation changes, each camp will rush to help directly under the command of the highest commander they can find.
When training the army on weekdays, there is this item in the training.
Of course, even so, the same army has completely different concepts in terms of combat effectiveness when there is a command and when there is no command.
Just like at this moment, under Cao Zheng's order, his 100,000 troops were completely activated. Even the tens of thousands of logistics personnel were following behind the large army at this moment, waving flags and cheering, raising the momentum.
…
At the same time, on the other side, watching the enemy use iron shields, step by step, trying to force him back into the mountains.
Zhao Cheng first waved his hand to give an order, and immediately, the content of what his 20,000 reservists shouted changed immediately.
"Cao Zheng, since you are willing to surrender, why don't you surrender quickly?!"
"Surrender quickly!"
"Surrender quickly!"
...
This shout shook the whole area, and many people in Cao's camp were stunned for a moment when they heard it.
However, Cao Zheng's subordinates were not short of capable people. The general who managed logistics heard this and immediately ordered his subordinates to curse back.
"Everyone knows that General Cao is loyal to the emperor and the country, and is valued by His Majesty. This time, he is the deputy commander appointed by His Majesty himself to fight against the enemy. How could such a hero have the idea of surrendering to the enemy?!"
"Don't be confused by the evil words of the thieves!"
"Kill!"
"Kill the Zhao thieves, pacify the southern wilderness, and be crowned a king!"
"Make achievements today!"
"Kill!"
...
Soon, tens of thousands of people under Cao Zheng's command also shouted. At first, it was a bit chaotic, but after a few times, it became uniform, and the tone was so loud that it shook the sky and startled countless birds in the mountains and forests.
As for Cao Zheng, he was calm after hearing these words, and he had no intention of explaining.
It was just a little slander from the enemy. At this time, if he explained, he would appear guilty. Otherwise, why should the superior explain to the inferior? !
In those plays, the inferior dared to force the superior to prove his innocence, which was just the fabrication of poor scholars, seizing the ordinary people's desire for "fairness".
The truth is, if you dare to ask, I dare to let you die, and even if you die alone, it is not enough, your whole family and your nine clans will go with you.
If not, there is no way to enforce the law and show the hierarchy.
However, although Cao Zheng's face was calm, he was more confused after hearing these words, looking at the blazing fire below, and the sound of shouting and killing.
It felt like ten years of worldly life was like a dream, and now it was vaguely in the dream.
Even until this moment, he felt that he had actually died under the world-destroying divine thunder several years ago. As for his early departure, even until now, it was just a dream before his death that he was unwilling to accept.
Undoubtedly, the "sun" that destroyed everything left him with a huge shadow.
However, no matter how big the shadow was, it could not suppress his strong ambition. The thought of becoming a king directly made him overcome the fear in his heart.
At this moment, when he saw his soldiers holding shields and constantly approaching the enemy, Cao Zheng only felt that a certain deep fear in his heart was constantly withdrawing.
It is he who continues to follow the myth of the heavenly army. In this world, as long as humans are human, there is no real invincibility.
"Cao Jin, do you think that if the Zhao thief dies, the court will fulfill its promise to become the king?!"
When his mood became lighter, Cao Zheng asked a white-robed young man next to him. It was just a question, but it was actually closer to having a routine with the younger generation of the family.
As for Cao Jin, according to his seniority, he was his nephew. Of course, the other party was a concubine.
"The emperor's word is a formal edict. If the promise is broken, the danger will be greater than the title of king."
"If the imperial court really doesn't keep its word, then in this world, who knows how many people will be kings and how many will dominate!"
Cao Jin said without hesitation.
"indeed so!"
Cao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the night sky tonight was exceptionally clear, and the moon in the sky was also brighter. This was the first time in several years that he felt so relaxed.
The sun deepest in his heart was slowly extinguished at this moment.
At the same time, his own fighting spirit and ambition were burning and expanding at an unprecedented speed.
"Generals, ministers, princes..."
Cao Zheng murmured, but at this moment, the soaring fire and the huge explosion in the distance directly interrupted what he wanted to say.
At this moment, cold sweat broke out from Cao Zheng's back, soaking his clothes. His complexion changed from rosy to deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling.
The continuous explosions in the distance gathered into a sea of fire and turned into a huge fireball. In a daze, he felt that another world-destroying divine thunder had exploded.
Then, he heard the wails and screams of his soldiers...
Collapse! Collapse!
The man with his body on fire ran wildly in the opposite direction, attacking his own army and causing chaos in the army.
And further away, comets rushed out from the ground and fell to the ground, making the fire on the earth burn even more fiercely.
"put!"
At the front of the array, Wang Shouzheng gave the order.
Immediately, three hundred rocket launchers were fired overwhelmingly. This was already the third round launched in a short period of time.
