Chapter 257 I Have Never Seen Such a Shameless Person

On the endless wasteland, a hundred thousand troops stretched across the land.

The Grand Master led a hundred thousand troops to the city of Hezhou.

Along the way, the Grand Master had a gloomy face, which frightened the soldiers around him.

A pair of children were all killed.

The hatred made the Grand Master's pupils glow red.

"Send an order, speed up the march!"

The Grand Master's voice contained a huge anger.

He had to rush to Hezhou as soon as possible to join the troops of the left prime minister.

Hezhou was easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as he occupied Hezhou, he could attack or defend!

"Emperor Xuan, Ning Chen... I will tear you into pieces and grind your bones to ashes."

The Grand Master roared in a low voice.

"Report..."

At this moment, the scout came running wildly.

"Report to the Grand Master, the state of Yuzhou has been conquered by the army led by the Great Xuanning Yinyi, the left prime minister was killed, 20,000 soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the rest were captured."

The Grand Master's head buzzed, the news was like a scorched earth exploding in his ears, his eyes went dark, and he almost fell off his carriage.

The generals next to him were also stunned by the news, dumbfounded, and their faces were full of disbelief.

After a long while, the Grand Master recovered and asked sternly: "Is the news accurate?"

"Reply to the Grand Master, the news has been confirmed."

The Grand Master's face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out.

"How many soldiers did Ning Chen bring?"

The scout said, "More than 20,000."

"How many?" The Grand Master lost his voice, his face full of shock, "More than 20,000? How is this possible? How could more than 20,000 people capture Yuzhou?"

The scout shrank his neck and said with a stiff face, "Replying to the Grand Master, Ning Chen did bring only 20,000 soldiers... and, and..."

"And what? Tell me quickly."

The scout said in a trembling voice, "And... it only took a few hours to break through Yuzhou City."

The Grand Master and others were once again shocked by this news, and their heads were buzzing. They were all stunned, like stone carvings and wood carvings.

More than 20,000 people, and they captured Yuzhou, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in a few hours... How did he do it?

"Waste, Zuo Xiang, this waste... He had the advantage of time and place, but was defeated by Ning Chen in just a few hours, waste, useless waste..."

The Grand Master was furious, and his eyes were red and he screamed wildly.

Several confidants looked at each other, all of them had an irrepressible fear of the name Ning Chen.

Zuo Xiang had the advantage of time and place, but was defeated by Ning Chen in just a few hours... It was incredible.

This Ning Chen was too scary!

"Grandmaster, calm down. Now that the state of Yu has been lost, it is useless to be angry... Let's think about what to do next?"

A confidant comforted the Grand Master.

The Grand Master forced himself to calm down, pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Continue to advance towards Yuzhou."

"But Yuzhou City has already..."

The Grand Master snorted coldly, "The Zuo Xiang is a waste, he has lived a peaceful life for too long... He only knows the conspiracy and calculation in the court, and he is a waste to lead troops to fight."

"Ning Chen conquered Yuzhou, including the captives, there are only more than 30,000 troops... I don't believe that he Ning Chen can stop our 100,000 troops?"

"Yuzhou City is too important, we must take it down before we can plan for great cause."

"Didn't he Ning Chen take Yuzhou in a few hours? Then I will take Yuzhou in half an hour, let the tyrant Daxuan see that without me, Daxuan is vulnerable."

"Send the order, keep moving forward!"

......

Two days passed in a flash!

Scouts kept bringing back news of the Grand Master's army.

That day, Ning Chen received news that the Grand Master's army was less than 30 miles away from Yuzhou City.

Ning Chen came to the north gate and climbed to the top of the city wall.

In the evening, dust was rolling in the distance.

The 100,000-strong army of the Grand Master was like a long dragon with no end in sight, pressing over from afar.

As the saying goes, 10,000 soldiers are boundless. 100,000 soldiers are like the earth and the sky.

The 100,000-strong army, the strong sense of oppression makes people's scalps numb.

The battle flag fluttered in the wind.

The army led by the Grand Master even changed the battle flag of Daxuan.

The battle flag of Daxuan should have a black background with dragon patterns and a golden Xuan character embroidered on one side.

The battle flag of the Grand Master was changed to a yellow background with a big Zhao character embroidered on it.

The Grand Master's surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Bokang.

In the army, a flatbed cart as high as five or six meters was pulled by seven or eight war horses, like a moving platform.

On the platform, there was a huge Grand Master's chair.

An old man in his sixties, wrapped in armor, sat upright on the Grand Master's chair.

Although he was over sixty years old and his hair and beard were gray, the old man was in good shape, with a resolute look, a strong aura, and a powerful presence.

This person was the Grand Master, Zhao Bokang.

The army stopped five hundred steps away from the city gate.

This distance was just beyond the range of the bow and arrow.

A hundred thousand troops, with overwhelming power, were too deterrent.

On the city wall, the faces of the soldiers of Daxuan turned pale.

Even the veterans of Mu Anbang felt dizzy.

This was a hundred thousand troops, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was not ordinary.

"My dear men, hold your chests high... A real man should stand tall and proud, and die on the battlefield. Let alone an army of 100,000, even if it is a million, you must dare to draw your swords."

"Don't worry, even if I have to die, I will die before you... But I hope that you die in battle, not scared to death by the enemy, otherwise even if you go to the underworld, you will be looked down upon by ghosts as a ghost."

Ning Chen shouted loudly to boost morale.

Zhao Bokang stared at the top of the city wall with a pair of leopard eyes.

"Boy, are you Ning Chen?"

The rebels shouted in unison, conveying Zhao Bokang's message.

Ning Chen, wearing a cloak, held the hilt of the knife with one hand, stood in front of the city wall, looking at Zhao Bokang from afar.

Ning Chen shouted: "It's... cough cough cough..."

No, Feng Qizhen has to do this.

Feng Qizhen stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Grandmaster, Ning Chen asked me to say hello to your mother."

Ning Chen's expression suddenly froze, and he kicked him unhappily.

"Ning Chen, my son, open the city gate and surrender quickly... Otherwise, when I enter the city of Yuzhou, I will tear you into pieces."

The Grand Master's shouting soldier shouted.

Ning Chen stared at Feng Qizhen speechlessly.

"Old Feng, tell them that as a man of the Great Xuan, he actually committed treason. Let them think about their families and ask them if they are not afraid of being nailed to the pillar of shame in history?"

"Let them lay down their weapons, and I will forgive them... Otherwise, they will never come back."

Feng Qi was shouting to convey Ning Chen's words to the Grand Tutor.

The soldiers of the Grand Master shouted in unison: "Ning Chen, I am guarding the border and not in the capital. I let you, a clown, jump up and down, deceive His Majesty and harm my children."

"This time I come back, I must get rid of the treacherous, clean up the emperor's side, and serve the king!"

"Ning Chen, if you know what's good for you, open the city gate and surrender quickly. Otherwise, when I enter the city, I will cut you into pieces."

"Listen, soldiers in the city, this matter has nothing to do with you. I will only kill Ning Chen... If you know what's good for you, capture him and send him to me. I promise not to hurt you at all."

Ning Chen sneered and let Feng Qizheng speak.

Feng Qizhen shouted at the top of his voice: "You traitors, you still have the nerve to say that you want to eliminate traitors and clean up the emperor's side?"

"You are men of Daxuan, but you followed Zhao Bokang to rebel, intending to seize power and usurp the country, disregarding your relatives, and having no emperor or father... You are a group of disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust people."

"Zhao Bokang, a mouse has skin, but a man has no manners. If a man has no manners, why not die? You old thing with a human head and a dog face, do you still remember what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is?"

"It's fine if you rebel alone, but you also want 200,000 Daxuan men to be buried with you. You are so shameless... I have never seen such a shameless person."

As Feng Qizhen's voice came, the Taishi, who was originally as steady as an old dog, stood up suddenly, his face flushed with blood and his beard trembling with anger.

"Tell them that I only want Ning Chen... If you don't want to die, hand Ning Chen over."

The shouting soldiers shouted in unison to convey the Taishi's meaning.

Ning Chen heard this, sneered, and said a few words to Feng Qizheng.

Feng Qizhen shouted at the top of his voice: "My dear men of Daxuan, think carefully, why do you join the army? It is to defend the country and to ensure that your parents, wives and children can live in peace."

"The son of the Grand Master, the uncle of the emperor, is a relative of the royal family, but he relies on his status to be tyrannical, take human lives lightly, force good women into prostitution, and treat the lives of the people as worthless... Ning Chen is not afraid of power and kills him. Ask yourself, did he do something wrong?"

"The daughter of the Grand Master, the queen, plotted to murder your majesty, colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and was sentenced to death by your majesty... What's wrong with that?"

"You are soldiers of Daxuan, but because of the grudge of the uncle of the emperor, you point your swords and guns at your own people, and are accused of being unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial. Are you willing to accept that?"

"As men of Daxuan, Ning Chen does not want us to fight each other. As long as you put down your weapons, he will forgive you... If you are stubborn, kill you without mercy!"

As Feng Qizhen's voice fell.

There was a small commotion among the soldiers around the Grand Master.

As for the army behind them, there was no reaction, because they were too far away and could not hear Feng Qizhen's words.

The Grand Master's face was gloomy.

He knew very well that he couldn't go on like this... Ning Chen's words were too inflammatory.

If he continued to talk, the army would be in chaos!

He stood up and shouted: "Emperor Xuan is incompetent, favors treacherous people, and stays away from loyal ministers... Today, I will clear the court and serve the king!"

"Pass my order, attack the city... Before dawn, take down the city of Yuzhou."

"Those who climb the city wall will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu."

First, you must make achievements on the battlefield, climb first, kill the general, seize the flag, and break through the battle line. This is the fastest way to be promoted, but also the most dangerous.

The first to climb is to climb the city wall... Once you climb the city wall and win a great victory, you will have no worries about food and drink for the next few lifetimes.

The Grand Master's order was passed down layer by layer.

"They are going to attack the city!"

Yuan Long said in a deep voice.

Everyone was tense.

Ning Chen sneered and said loudly: "If it was an army of 200,000, I might still frown... An army of 100,000 is nothing to worry about. They are just chickens and pottery dogs. If they dare to come, let them come without return."

On the battlefield, cowardice is the most taboo.

Especially for the commander of an army, if he is cowardly, it will directly affect the morale of the whole army.

Ning Chen said sternly: "Archers are ready, musketeers are ready... If they dare to come, let them know the sharp edge of our Daxuan children."

Boom boom boom! ! !

The 100,000 troops of the Grand Master sounded the drums of the charge.

"Kill!!!"

The 100,000 troops came like a black cloud, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

A rain of arrows shot towards the top of the city.

This is the crossbow camp, which first suppresses the formation with a rain of arrows to create opportunities for the first to climb.

"Charge!!!"

"Kill!!!"

The crossbow camp is in the rear, while the first to attack are carrying ladders and pushing siege vehicles.

Behind the first to attack is the military supervisor camp. In addition to killing the enemy, the most important task of these people is to supervise... On the battlefield, those who are afraid to fight will be killed! Those who shake the morale of the army will be killed!

At this time, you have no choice but to rush forward. Let alone retreat, even if you turn back, you may be killed by the people in the military supervisor camp.

The 100,000-strong army rushed towards the city of Yuzhou like a torrent. Looking around, there were heads everywhere, which made people's scalps numb.
