Chapter 2503 Yang Zhentian Died in Battle
There were not many people left behind Yang Zhentian. The King of Xiangyang who had taken over everything before the war and had an arrogant tone ran away.
Yes, he ran away!
According to the original plan, the King of Xiangyang guarded the first line of defense at Yingzui Cliff.
He felt that since Yang Zhentian could defend the poor place of Wangfuling for several months, and he had 1.6 million elite soldiers, relying on the huge pass of Yingzui Cliff, it shouldn't be a problem to hold on for a day or two.
As a result, after the six armies launched a fierce offensive on Yingzui Cliff last night, King Xiangyang ran away.
As soon as the coach ran away, the 1.6 million troops under his control lost their backbone. Some chose to fight to the death, while others chose to escape. Yang Zhentian lost the involvement of both sides of the valley and was defeated like a mountain. Yang Zhentian integrated the soldiers of King Xiangyang who fought to the end and worked hard all night to get back to the south gate of Yingzui Cliff. However, the reinforcements were not available and the defenses on both sides of the valley gradually fell into the hands of the skeleton army, resulting in a defeat on the battlefield and a setback. damage
More than a million people were killed, but they still couldn't get it back.
At this moment, there were less than 8,000 people behind Yang Zhentian. Although they were frightened, they did not retreat. They held halberds and knives tightly in their hands, blocking the canyon and watching the most terrifying of the six legions of the heavens approaching rapidly. Legion of giants.
Yang Zhentian said hoarsely: "Have the reinforcements from King Zhao Xun of Xiangyang arrived?"
A lieutenant next to him who was covered in blood shook his head and said, "No."
Yang Zhentian cursed a few times.
If King Xiangyang hadn't escaped before the battle and caused chaos in the army, how could the defenses on both sides of the valley easily fall into the hands of the Skeleton Legion?
This trumpet mouth defense line was built by gathering all the human, material and financial resources in the world, and many cultivators even participated in its construction.
The impregnable defense line was completely broken by the enemy overnight, and the culprit was because King Xiangyang abandoned his position.
If he fought to the end, with his 1.6 million elite men guarding the defenses on both sides, he would not be defeated so miserably.
Originally, we could only rely on the defenses on both sides to kill a large number of enemy forces. Now that the defenses are broken, the pressure on Zhao Shiqu in Yingbelly Mountain will double.
At this time, several people flew in the air from the south, led by Gu Yuqi.
Gu Yuqi did not participate in the decisive battle in the southern part of Qixing Mountain. He was the commander of the six legions and only cared about the battle in front of him.
As for the news that the Storm Legion was almost completely wiped out, he had received the news, but for the sake of the main force of the six legions, he could no longer care about remembering the six-legged beast riders who died in the battle.
The most urgent task at hand is to quickly occupy the Eagle Beak Cliff before the main force of the human cavalry returns for reinforcements, otherwise it will be over.
He looked at Yang Zhentian at his feet and the eight thousand remaining soldiers behind him, and said slowly: "Yang Zhentian, you are a man, I respect you, your war is over, put down your weapons." Yang Zhentian laughed loudly, word by word. He said: "I, the Yang family, are full of loyal people. We have guarded the border areas for the imperial court for generations. The Yang family has no other choice but to die in battle. If you want to cross this canyon, just step over my body.
! "
Gu Yuqi sighed softly.
He really respected Yang Zhentian. If Yang Zhentian hadn't been guarding Wangfu Ridge, the Heavenly Army wouldn't have been blocked outside Yingzui Cliff for a whole winter.
At this moment, Yang Zhentian chose the last glory of a soldier. Gu Yuqi said nothing and flew away with a few of his men. A moment later, the giant army in the south of the canyon began to advance northward with a large shield.
Yang Zhentian had been injured in the battle yesterday and was very weak now. He walked up to a drummer, took the drumstick, and slowly beat the drum.
"Dong dong dong..."
"Qin Shi... Mingyue Han Shiguan!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"Thousands of miles...the Long March has not yet been repaid!"
"Dong dong dong..."
"But... the Flying General of Dragon City is here!"
"Dong dong dong!"
"If you don't teach... Huma Du Yinshan!"
After the last sentence was sung, Yang Zhentian's voice spread out through the sound transmission stone.
This sound transmission stone is very useful, and his voice can be heard dozens of miles away.
Yang Zhentian's solemn and solemn voice was heard: "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains, why should they be wrapped in horse leather? Sons and daughters, we are soldiers, and dying on the battlefield is the last fate of each of our soldiers! Kill!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Eight thousand soldiers stood up and shouted, looking extremely tragic.
Gu Yuqi, who was in the air, suddenly turned his head and looked at the eight thousand human soldiers.
These soldiers chanted loudly while taking off their heavy armor, and then, led by Yang Zhentian, they rushed towards countless giant warriors.
Yang Zhentian's voice also reached Eagle Belly Mountain, twenty miles away.
Zhao Shiqu, holding a long sword and sitting on a chair next to the coffin, closed his eyes in pain.
He knew that Yang Zhentian, his most capable man, died for his country.
A middle-aged fat man in golden armor was pushed in front of Zhao Shiqu with ties tied up with five strips of hair. Behind him were hundreds of generals wearing armor, who were also tied with stripes of stripes.
This fat man is Zhao Xun, the king of Xiangyang. Now His Majesty is a compatriot brother.
Zhao Xun was furious and said: "Zhao Shiqu, what are you doing! I am your uncle! Let me go quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Shiqu slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Xun who was struggling.
He stood up slowly, stared at the blood-red eyes, pointed to the south, and said word by word: "Yang Zhentian is dead! Yingzui Cliff is lost! Everything is because you escaped before the battle!"
Zhao Xun still shouted arrogantly: "I am your uncle, how dare you talk to me? Who said I escaped from the battlefield? Last night, I fought to the death, but I couldn't resist, so I retreated! Quick, let me go!"
Zhao Shiqu ignored him, slowly drew out his sword, and said: "When the two armies are fighting, those who escape from the battlefield will be beheaded!"
The hundreds of generals behind Zhao Xun immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they would atone for their crimes and were willing to lead people to regain the lost direction of Yingzui Cliff.
Zhao Xun was shocked and said: "You...what do you want to do? You dare to kill me? Even if I lost the Yingzui Cliff defense line, only His Majesty can punish me, what do you think you are."
Zhao Shiqu said coldly: "I am the general manager of the Jiannan Road March, the highest commander here, even if you are my uncle, you are under my jurisdiction! Come on! Behead those who escaped from the battlefield on the spot!"
The big knife was raised, the head flew horizontally, and the blood spurting out of Zhao Xun's neck stained the armor of Zhao Shiqu in front of him.
More than a hundred generals and lieutenants were killed in the blink of an eye, not one was left.
Zhao Xun's head fell at Zhao Shiqu's feet, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it until his death, Zhao Shiqu actually chopped him.
It's not a big problem if hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers escape, but once the generals who led the troops escaped in the battle, it would be a serious problem. Zhao Shiqu didn't want to kill his own people, but in the current situation, if he didn't execute these generals who escaped in the battle with thunderous means, the consequences would be disastrous.
