The crown heir's sudden appearance was like a waterfall pouring down, extinguishing all of Gao Xianzhi's prestige.
The eight hundred thousand soldiers suddenly stared at Gao Xianzhi expressionlessly as though they wanted Gao Xianzhi to give an explanation.
At this moment, everyone on the commander's platform showed different expressions.
Crown Prince Song's expression was either joyful or sorrowful.
Lin Chong's eyes were bloodshot.
However, Gao Xianzhi goggled.
Even though everyone was shocked by the crown heir's arrival, the crown heir was getting closer to the commander's platform.
"You … who are you?" Gao Xianzhi demanded while glaring.
"It's me, Grand Marshal Gao. I am Song Zhengxi! Quick! Help me capture the bandits chasing over. I want to kill them. I want them dead! I nearly could not see Father again! "Song Zhengxi cried out miserably.
"That's impossible. My son was already executed at the market in Song City. Who exactly are you?" Crown Prince Song could only shout angrily.
"Father, didn't you send Grand Marshal Gao to save me? When I was on the execution platform, you secretly replaced me with someone else? You really are a child. Grand Marshal Gao arranged everything and saved me. I only put on a show with Grand Marshal Gao to deceive those fools. Father! You don't know? Hahaha! It looks like Grand Marshal Gao did not tell you! "Song Zhengxi immediately shouted excitedly.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
In all directions, the sound of the soldiers gasping could be heard.
Grand Marshal Gao arranged everything? Put on a show? Just to deceive those fools?
Song Zhengxi did not realize that every word he said was like a sharp knife stabbing into the hearts of the eight hundred thousand soldiers.
We are just fools? Gao Xianzhi just put on a show for us? Deceiving us and sending us to our deaths?
What Gu Hai's scheme? Gao Xianzhi lied to us. How can that Gu Hai be so ridiculously powerful? Isn't that right? The Crown Prince was the best proof of that.
Kill the Crown Prince and give justice to everyone? It was all bullshit!
The Emperor issued an edict to severely punish those who humiliated the families of the soldiers? It was all bullshit!
Was it all Gu Hai's scheme that our family members were harmed by the local nobles? It was all bullshit!
Was our letter a plot by Gu Hai? It was all bullshit!
…
…
…
The moment Song Zhengxi appeared, the fighting spirit that had just been established instantly vanished. The seed of chaos that Gu Hai had planted in everyone's hearts instantly sprouted and grew into a towering tree.
Song Zhengxi's words were even more piercing.
"Unfilial son, shut up!" Crown Prince Song immediately shouted.
Crown Prince Song also noticed the gazes of the soldiers. Slowly, their eyes filled with hatred.
"I want to go home, I want to go home and take a look!"
"I want to go home too. F * ck, I want to go back! "
"We're not fighting anymore. We're fighting to the death for the Song family, but they're harming our family in the back. After they're done, they're calling us idiots?"
…
…
…
The eight hundred thousand soldiers began to become restless. For a moment, it was like boiling water slowly began to boil. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the one feeling the most upset was Lin Chong.
Lin Chong turned his head, his eyes bloodshot. Tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Grand Marshal, I, Lin Chong, have followed you for many years. I have fought many battles with you. I have always been at the very front, risking my life many times. For the sake of the Grand Marshal, we can even give up our lives because we believe in the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal can give us a future. The Grand Marshal can lead us to great achievements. The Grand Marshal can protect us!"
Lin Chong snarled. Lin Chong's hatred and shout immediately silenced the surroundings.
"We can even give up our lives for you. Grand Marshal, are you going to treat us like this? That day, before news of my family's tragedy reached us, bad news came from fifteen of our brothers' families. To protect the crown heir, you told me to deal with it, keeping our brothers silent. You told me to kill those fifteen brothers! "Lin Chong shouted.
"Wow!"
The eight hundred thousand soldiers were in an uproar again.
Initially, some people were doubtful when they heard the crown heir's words. However, Lin Chong was different. Lin Chong was the Grand Marshal's trusted aide, so he would tell Lin Chong everything.
But who would have thought that when a group of officers and soldiers had suffered, the Grand Marshal did not say that he wanted to help. Instead, he wanted Lin Chong to kill them.
On the Commander's Platform, the fifteen people were also standing there. Originally, they had been there to help boost Gao Xianzhi's morale, but when they heard Lin Chong's words, they all shivered and looked at Gao Xianzhi.
The Grand Marshal wanted to kill me that day? He told Sir Lin to kill us?
"Grand Marshal, where are my family? You said that Gu Hai took them away, but what's going on? Why do you want to kill us? We gave our lives for you, but you want to kill us? "The fifteen soldiers shouted in shock.
"Lin Chong, shut up!" Gao Xianzhi's expression changed as he shouted.
"Shut up? Then tell me, what's going on with Song Zhengxi? Didn't you say that you wanted to kill him to prove his innocence? Didn't you say that you wanted to kill him to avenge Xiao Die? Didn't you say … Wuwuwu! "Lin Chong cried bitterly.
"I didn't save Song Zhengxi. It was Gu Hai. Gu Hai saved him! Lin Chong, calm down. This is all part of Gu Hai's scheme! "Gao Xianzhi shouted bitterly.
Fast? In the end, his actions weren't faster than Gu Hai's scheme.
He didn't even give him the time to eat a meal. Was there not enough time to eat a meal? Gao Xianzhi felt sorrowful in his heart. Gu Hai's schemes were too dense, too many and too fast. Each time, they struck the weakest spot of the human heart.
Gao Xianzhi knew that this was all part of Gu Hai's scheme, but how could Lin Chong believe it?
Song Zhengxi was the best proof.
"Enough! What nonsense is this about Gu Hai's scheme?!" Lin Chong roared bitterly.
Gao Xianzhi seemed to have become his enemy. Lin Chong showed a ferocious expression.
However, Song Zhengxi spoke again. "How dare you! Lin Chong, you dare to be rude to the Grand Marshal? Grand Marshal Gao, didn't you say earlier that you would deal with these bastards after I returned to the camp? Now that I'm back, Lin Chong and the others are useless! "
Song Zhengxi roared. It was like a barrel of gasoline being ignited.
Boom!
The eight-hundred-thousand-strong army immediately exploded.
Song Zhengxi goggled, not understanding what was going on. Wasn't this a show put on by his father and Gao Xianzhi? What's going on?
"Gao Xianzhi, I worked for you for so many years in vain. You are a beast with a human face but a beast heart. I'm going to kill you to take revenge for Xiao Die!" Lin Chong shouted.
Lin Chong pulled out his saber and immediately charged at Gao Xianzhi.
As for Lin Chong's subordinates on the platform, they were on the verge of exploding. As Lin Chong attacked, they immediately pulled out their sabers.
"Kill!"
Rumble …!
The platform immediately turned chaotic.
"Protect the Grand Marshal!"
"Kill!"
…
…
…
The entire camp was in an uproar. The chaos was unbearable, and the soldiers were no longer willing to be disciplined.
No one listened to the orders of their superiors. Some people even tried to take advantage of the situation and started robbing the warehouses of the camp.
Immediately, the entire camp turned chaotic. Some wanted to kill Gao Xianzhi, while others wanted to protect Gao Xianzhi. Some wanted to kill the crown prince, while others wanted to protect the crown prince. Even Song Zhengxi's surroundings were in chaos.
The eight-hundred-thousand-strong army scattered in one day.
Some people packed their bags and rushed home. Some people robbed the camp. Some people killed each other. Chaos ensued.
Just at this moment, a fifty-thousand-strong army rushed over from Hulao Pass.
The one leading this army was none other than the new Chen King, Chen Liangyi.
Chen Tianshan rode beside Chen Liangyi.
"Liangyi, a firework shot into the sky earlier. That was the signal from the bandits that the Grand Marshal mentioned. That was for the fifty-thousand-strong army to charge into the Song Nation camp. Why did you come out personally?" Chen Tianshan asked with a frown.
"With Great Grandfather by my side, my safety should not be a problem. The Grand Marshal told me to boost morale, so I came. Before Imperial Father died, he said to listen to him. I will do as he says," Chen Liangyi said seriously.
"However, isn't this too much of an exaggeration? Just because he says it will be fine, it will be fine? You only have fifty thousand soldiers, and you are facing eight-hundred-thousand-strong ferocious army. Furthermore, Gao Xianzhi is still in the camp. Aren't you just sending yourself to death? "Chen Tianshan frowned.
"I trust Imperial Father!" Chen Liangyi said with a frown.
"Hah! Never mind. I will do my best to protect you. Don't end up like your father. At that time, you will be too far away from me. I won't be able to save you in time, "Chen Tianshan said.
Chen Liangyi nodded. At the same time, he shouted.
"Soldiers, you all saw it. This group of Song Nation soldiers is extremely ferocious. Even if we surrender to them, they will kill us. They will not give us a way out. You all saw it, right? "Chen Liangyi shouted.
The fleeing soldiers showed unsightly expressions.
"The Grand Marshal already sent people to investigate. The Song Nation soldiers have already given the order to massacre the entire city once they break through Hulao Pass. Your parents and sons will be killed. Your wives and daughters will be enslaved. They will split all your assets. You all know the news from the frontlines. My Chen Army's six-hundred-thousand-strong army is dead. Do you all still have any hope of surviving? "Chen Liangyi shouted.
"No!" the soldiers said with bloodshot eyes.
"For the sake of our families, kill with me. May the heavens take pity on us. If we can exchange our lives for the peace of our parents and the lives of our wives and children, we can exchange our deaths for the lives of our families. In any case, we are all going to die. We will die if we lose, and we will die if we surrender. Why don't you follow me and exchange lives for lives? Kill! "Chen Liangyi shouted.
"Kill!" the fifty thousand soldiers shouted.
Rumble …!
The soldiers circled around a hill and immediately charged to the Song Nation army's camp.
However, when the fifty-thousand-man army approached the Song Nation's main camp, they saw smoke rising from the Song Nation's main camp. It was chaotic and messy. The surrounding soldiers were killing each other. It did not look like the Song Nation's main camp at all.
Chen Tianshan rubbed his eyes. "Did I come to the wrong place? Is this the eight-hundred-thousand-strong ferocious army? "
However, Chen Liangyi felt extremely excited.
"Everyone, charge with me!" Chen Liangyi shouted.
Boom!
The fifty thousand Chen Army soldiers were like the scythe of the grim reaper, charging into the camp of the "rabble" that could not split the spoils evenly.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare the army to face the enemy!" someone shouted.
However, the Song Nation soldiers were already wild. They no longer cared about preparing the army to face the enemy. After snatching the spoils, they ran.
"Hualala!"
All of a sudden, the battle became strange.
The fifty thousand soldiers chased after the eight-hundred-thousand-strong army. However, the one-sided battle turned around.
At this moment, the fifty thousand Chen Army soldiers killed to their heart's content. Although they had never killed anyone on the battlefield before, killing a group of fleeing people for the sake of their families was easy and satisfying.
It turned out that the Song Nation army was not that great after all.
At Hulao Pass, Guqin leaned on the railing of the city gate tower as he looked into the distance. Five kilometers away, smoke and fire soared into the sky. Even from five kilometers away, he could hear miserable cries.
"Men!" Gu Qin said solemnly.
"Present!" a few Gu Residence attendants replied respectfully.
"Immediately send pigeons to the various large cities of the Chen Nation. Spread the news everywhere. Gao Xianzhi lost, and the eight-hundred-thousand-strong army was destroyed. Gao Xianzhi's fate is unknown. Some deserters will flee back to the various cities. Order the Gu Clan's shops to spread the news and encourage the citizens to kill the Song Nation soldiers stationed in the various cities. One kill will be rewarded with gold, and ten will be rewarded with nobility. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The six hundred-thousand-strong Chen Nation army killed, the men of the various families, now is the time to take revenge and comfort the ancestors. Also, for the cities that the Song Nation captured, encourage the local tyrants to lead their servants to counterattack and retake the cities. Reward them according to their contributions. Split the city's authority equally with the Chen Nation's tyrants. The more one works, the more one gets. Make contributions at your own doorstep! "Guqin said.
"Yes!" the Gu Residence attendants said respectfully.
The eight-hundred-thousand-strong army was like a stray dog. At this moment, they could not withstand a single blow and crumbled.
The fifty thousand Chen Nation soldiers were like celestial soldiers and generals. Everywhere they went, they swept through everything.
One side was unafraid of death, and the other side was not in the mood to fight. There was no more suspense in this war.
Gao Xianzhi and Crown Prince Song managed to avoid this calamity under the protection of their trusted aides.
However, Lin Chong cut Gao Xianzhi's arm, causing it to bleed profusely.
However, the pain in his arm was secondary. After escaping the calamity, Gao Xianzhi rested at the foot of a hill. When he saw the sorry state of the Song Nation army in the distance, the pain in his heart intensified.
"Ha! Hahaha! Hahahaha! Gu Hai? Gu Hai? "Gao Xianzhi revealed a dejected expression.
Even though he had not stopped to rest, he still could not keep up with Gu Hai's speed. To think that his strange plan was so swift and ferocious. Old men were like demons. Compared to forty years ago, Gu Hai was even more experienced and ruthless, even scarier.
"Is it over? What should we do now? "Crown Prince Song asked in despair.
Gao Xianzhi took a deep breath and said, "The truth will come out sooner or later. Fortunately, I already killed six hundred thousand Chen Nation soldiers. Right now, the Chen Nation has very few soldiers and cannot make any big moves. As for my Song Nation's army, its morale has already fallen. However, it can still be reformed. However …! "
"However, what?"
"I can reform the morale of the army quickly. However, I worry that Gu Hai will be faster than me. He might be faster! "Gao Xianzhi said bitterly.
Several days later, at Merchant City:
A portion of the Song Nation army remained in the city where the Song Nation army had previously been stationed. However, news suddenly came from some shops.
Gao Xianzhi suffered a great defeat. The eight hundred thousand Song Nation soldiers scattered for five hundred kilometers. No one knew whether Gao Xianzhi was dead or alive. The Song Nation army lost.
When the news spread, many of Merchant City's citizens felt stunned.
The news even encouraged the Song Nation to retake the city.
The local tyrants and citizens all showed confused expressions.
Previously, the citizens had celebrated with fireworks and firecrackers every day. This had already planted a bone-deep hatred in the hearts of the people who supported their families. You killed my son, my father, and the pillar of support for my family. Yet, you are celebrating with songs, dances, and fireworks? This was no different from adding salt to the wound. The citizens wished that they could skin the Song Nation's soldiers, eat their flesh, drink their blood, and chew on their bones. However, they did not have the strength. The Song Nation had so many people. They could only be suppressed and silently cry as they watched the Song Nation kill their loved ones.
Now, the news from the Gu Clan's shops slowly stirred up the hatred in everyone's hearts, stirring up their anger and murderous intent.
The Song Nation soldiers stationed in the city also discovered that the citizens were looking at them differently during this period. They no longer feared them like before. Instead, they no longer hid their hatred.
However, without any concrete news, no matter how great the hatred and desire of the citizens and tyrants were, they did not dare to make a move.
However, just at this moment, the first batch of deserters returned.
"Defeated! Defeated! All of them lost! The eight hundred thousand Song Nation soldiers lost a thousand miles!"
When the first deserter reported the results of the battle at the frontlines, the hearts of the people in Merchant City immediately surged with excitement.
The tycoons in Merchant City immediately became excited. If the Song Nation was defeated, would the Chen Nation be able to return to its former glory? Even Gao Xianzhi's fate was unknown. Who could block Gu Hai? Wouldn't Merchant City return to the Chen Nation sooner or later?
Would they split the city with the Chen Nation's royal court?
After one night of silence: After one night of fermenting desire and hatred: The next morning, as the first battle cry rang out, it immediately ignited the entire Merchant City.
"I'll beat you to death, you bastard! My son died a miserable death, killed by a trap. I'll beat you to death, too. Sob! Sob!
Sob! Sob! "" You killed my father. I'll kill you, too! "
"Return my husband! Return my husband!"
"Elder Brother, your little brother took revenge for you!"
"After killing my son, you still want to set off fireworks to celebrate? Even if I have to risk my bones falling apart, I'll skin you alive! "
…
…
…
There were not many Song Nation soldiers stationed in Merchant City.
Under the leadership of the tyrants, under the agitation of the masses, under the combined drive of rewards and hatred, a vast war of the people began.
It was not just Merchant City. The eighteen cities of the Chen Nation that had been seized were also witnessing such a tragic slaughter.
The Song Nation soldiers stationed in Merchant City could not stop the boundless hatred and desire.
Kill! Kill! Kill! Chaos! Chaos!
Chaos reigned.
Several days later, at the Clear River Sect: In a large hall:
The Clear River Sect Master and the First Song Sect Master led their disciples to stand at two sides.
The beautiful young woman in men's clothes led Venerable Liu Nian and three subordinates to the main seat in the north.
Chen Tianshan and the First Song Sect disciples stood before her. The First Song Sect disciples respectfully reported to the young woman.
"Three months? No, it has not even been three months. The Song Nation's eight-hundred-thousand-strong army suffered a crushing defeat? Gao Xianzhi fled in a sorry state? More than half of the Chen Nation's cities were recovered? All this in just three months? "Venerable Liu Nian revealed a shocked expression.
"Yes!" Chen Tianshan said excitedly.
However, the other First Song Sect disciple showed a dispirited expression.
"How can that be? What sorcery did Gu Hai use?" the First Song Sect Master exclaimed in shock and anger.
"Hahaha! First Song Sect Master, don't be angry. Let's hear what they have to say. Hahaha!" The Clear River Sect Master laughed in satisfaction.
The cross-dressed young woman's eyes lit up. Naturally, she understood how incredible Gao Xianzhi was. She had thought of many possibilities. However, she had not expected Gu Hai to defeat the Song Nation's eight-hundred-thousand-strong army in such a short time and even recover most of the Chen Nation's territory. How … how did he do it?
That's right. Not counting the time it took to report back, it only took about two months. Everything turned around? How did he do it?
