(Congratulations to Brother Lang's fan for becoming the new leader of this book. Please double the monthly votes.)
At the border of Wu and Yue, in King Wu's camp.
Oppressive silence.
It was as if one could hear a pin drop.
Young King Wu held a blood-stained battle report in his hand, reading it over and over again.
He still couldn't believe the contents.
Bian Xiao led less than 20,000 troops out of the Yanzhou defense line, bypassing several heavily defended cities on the western front, and directly into the heart of Wu.
The Wu guards intercepted and chased after them.
However … Bian Xiao's army was like a loach, slithering in and out of Wu.
It was as if there was no one there.
Of course, this was the result.
Bian Xiao was once a general of Wu, so he was probably more familiar with the geography of Wu than King Wu, or even many of the Wu generals.
He knew where the valleys were, where the roads were, and where the rivers were; he knew them like the back of his hand.
He knew where there might be an ambush, and where there could be an ambush.
Just from the battle report, one couldn't tell how miserable the Wu territory was, or how powerful Bian Xiao was.
There was only one way to describe it.
Nearly 100,000 troops had been dispatched to surround Bian Xiao.
However, these troops were already on the verge of collapse. It was a complete mess.
When an army was exhausted, Bian Xiao would strike like a venomous snake, killing people until their heads rolled on the ground.
And Bian Xiao almost didn't bring fodder or food.
He went on a punitive expedition within Wu territory.
Of course, this was a euphemism. To put it more bluntly, it was looting.
He killed and looted along the way.
The entire Wu territory was in chaos.
Dozens of battle reports were sent a day, sometimes here, and sometimes there, Bian Xiao was there.
Even now, King Wu didn't know where Bian Xiao was.
However …
At least three empty cities were plundered and burned to the ground.
At least 20,000 to 30,000 troops were ambushed by Bian Xiao, suffering heavy casualties.
Young King Wu was slapped hard in the face.
Not long ago, at the border hunt, he not only beat Ning Yuanxian in chess, but also won the duel between the two armies.
Wu's momentum soared, and King Wu's reputation was like the sun in the sky.
Almost everyone said that Ning Yuanxian was like the sun in the west, and King Wu was like the rising sun.
Because of this, young King Wu suppressed the conservative faction in the court and did his best.
The true glory was about to descend.
The reality was like a bolt from the blue.
Now, he finally understood Ning Yuanxian's real plan.
It was too crazy!
Ning Yuanxian was a lunatic.
In order to create an opportunity for Bian Xiao to launch a surprise attack on the Wu Kingdom, they actually staged such a big show.
He borrowed a few million gold coins for military expenses, and he personally led the army to gather 110,000 soldiers at the border.
Not only that, he did not hesitate to use himself as bait to transfer 30,000 troops away from the capital.
Otherwise, Wu Qi wouldn't have mobilized another thirty thousand troops from the western front.
Because it was too tempting to defeat Ning Yuanxian in a head-on battle.
As a result, the Western Front was left empty, allowing Bian Xiao's less than 20,000 cavalrymen to charge in and cause rivers of blood to flow within the borders of the Wu Kingdom.
If it were any other general, they might be a little merciful.
But how ruthless was Bian Xiao? He hated the Wu Kingdom so much.
How many people did he kill in this battle? How many towns and villages did he burn?
Who knows!
King Wu covered his forehead, sat back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
Because this grievous news was too intense, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
His heart was dripping blood.
Although Bian Xiao didn't occupy a single city, the damage to the Wu Kingdom's economy was indeed fatal.
Destroying was much easier than occupying.
Ning Yuanxian, you're crazy!
Crazy!
Then King Wu realized that to a certain extent, he and Ning Yuanxian were the same. They both loved to take risks and were obsessed with one thing.
Wu Qi led the army south and pretended to attack the State of Yue's Shangye Prefecture. This was all to cover up his strategic move to seize Raging Tide City.
But Ning Yuanxian didn't notice.
And Ning Yuanxian pretended to lead the army personally because of Bian Xiao's surprise attack. Wu Qi also didn't notice.
Then what should he do next?
Send more troops back to surround Bian Xiao?
End the show of two kings' battle just like that?
And King Wu retreated first?
What face would he have left then?
He was the one who led the army south in an imposing manner and pretended to attack the State of Yue. Now, he was also the one who retreated dejectedly.
Governor Wu Zhi said, "Your Majesty, the thirty thousand soldiers from the west haven't reached our camp yet. Order them to go back and help surround Bian Xiao."
King Wu didn't say anything.
Wu Zhi said, "Your Majesty, every day that Bian Xiao's army wreaks havoc in the heart of our country is a day that our country's strength weakens."
The furious King Wu gradually calmed down.
He picked up a chess piece and began to place it on the chessboard.
He was playing against himself.
This way, his mind could quickly calm down.
This country belongs to me. No matter what the consequences are, only I can bear it.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer one had to be.
Every decision he made had to bear the corresponding responsibility.
As a king, the greatest taboo was to be at a loss, to be frightened by the enemy.
Any crisis was both a danger and an opportunity.
Since the bad thing had already happened, how could he find an opportunity in this disaster?
Turn the situation around and even obtain a complete victory?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, immediately send the army back to the west to surround Bian Xiao. If we're too late, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Your Majesty, issue the decree!"
"Your Majesty, withdraw the army!"
"Your Majesty, quickly negotiate with King Chu."
"Your Majesty, quickly negotiate and get Bian Xiao to withdraw."
The ministers present all knelt down and kowtowed, crying bitterly as if the country was about to fall.
The young King Wu didn't seem to hear anything. He was wondering if Ning Yuanxian's situation was the same.
Whenever the country encountered a crisis, a group of people would rush forward and cry, as if the country was going to die tomorrow.
What was most heart-wrenching was that this group of people were even somewhat delighted and gloating in others' misfortune.
On the surface, they were grieving, but in reality, they were laughing.
Look, look, Your Majesty, you didn't listen to the old and now you're at a disadvantage. Now you know you're wrong.
You're too young, too childish!
How could governing a country be so easy?
When Su Nan killed his way out of the capital and slapped King Chu's face, the ministers of the State of Yue must have felt the same way.
The ruler and the ministers were collaborators, but also eternal enemies.
No wonder Ning Yuanxian killed his ministers as if they were chickens when he had the chance.
After a while, King Wu said, "Bian Xiao only has ten thousand troops, and they're all light cavalry. Can he take down the city?"
That shouldn't be possible.
King Wu continued, "Bian Xiao's troops are so fast, and they're so familiar with the geography of the State of Wu. If he gets into the heart of the State of Wu, how many troops will it take to stop him?"
Back then, Principal Chang had mobilized nearly a million troops, but still couldn't stop the tens of thousands of red troops.
King Wu stood up and walked to the map. "If a few villages and towns are burned, so be it. If food is stolen, so be it. People … "
Wu Qi didn't say this out loud.
If people were killed, so be it.
Although these words were sincere, they were too harsh. As a ruler, he couldn't say it out loud.
King Wu said loudly, "The key to solving Bian Xiao's crisis is not in the State of Wu, but in the State of Yue!"
The young King Wu pointed at the Leizhou Archipelago. "The battle of Raging Tide has already begun. Taking down the entire Leizhou Archipelago is just around the corner. This is a huge victory, enough to make up for the losses that Bian Xiao brought to our country. It might even be more than that. This is a strategic victory."
The ministers didn't pay much attention to the ocean.
But King Wu kept talking about it, and they had a basic idea.
After taking down the Leizhou Archipelago, the annual tax would be hundreds of thousands of gold coins. This was a huge benefit.
King Wu continued, "Ning Yuanxian is a crazy gambler. I admit that I was tricked by him. I never thought that he would let Bian Xiao attack the State of Wu. But … so what? Does he think this will give him the upper hand? Such a huge gamble will only leave him with nothing in the end. "
"That's right. Bian Xiao attacked the State of Wu and made me lose face. Moreover, Bian Xiao won every battle, killing tens of thousands of our people. This is enough to shock the world. "
"But has Ning Yuanxian solved the crisis? No! "
"The State of Yue's crisis is still in the West Heaven Province, and Su Nan's rebellion!"
"Zhang Chong is very powerful, but he has done his best. Daynight City is about to fall. At that time, Su Nan's army will sweep through the entire southern part of the West Heaven Province. Once Su Nan and Qiang unite, they will have close to 100,000 soldiers. To the east, they can besiege the capital of the State of Yue. To the north, they can attack Zhong Shi's army with Chu. To the south, they can attack Zhu Lin's main force with Prince Jin. "
"Bian Xiao's army attacking the State of Yue is indeed painful and scary! But the eye of the storm is not in the State of Wu, but in the West Heaven Province, in Daynight City! "
"Ning Yuanxian was wrong about one person. The State of Yue's Pingxi Earl, Zheng Tuo, was stingy and did not use his full strength. That is why Zhang Chong and the State of Yue met with disaster."
"Once Daynight City falls, once the southern part of the West Heaven Province falls, once Su Nan and Qiang unite, what will happen?"
"The State of Yue will be dismembered and destroyed!"
"Why did Ning Yuanxian let Bian Xiao's army attack the State of Wu? Not to attack the city, but to intimidate the State of Wu and the State of Chu. He wanted me to be scared out of my wits and take the initiative to negotiate with him. In this way, his army can focus on quelling Su Nan's rebellion in the West Heaven Province. "
"He fought so that he wouldn't fight."
"Before Ning Yuanxian quelled Su Nan's rebellion, he needs to bluff and roar like a tiger."
"Does he think that this will scare me? In his dreams! "
King Wu was in a frenzy.
"Does he think that Bian Xiao can make me surrender by killing people in the State of Yue? In his dreams! "
King Wu suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted, "Not only have we not lost, but we are on the eve of a great victory! The crazier Ning Yuanxian is, the more guilty he is. Order all the cities in the State to be closed, and do not give Bian Xiao any chance. The army will continue to surround Bian Xiao, but do not attack. Before he is surrounded, do not go into battle. Bian Xiao is too powerful, and no general in the State is his match. "
"The thirty thousand soldiers in the west must not stop or return to the Western Front. They must remain in my camp."
"My camp must maintain a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers to be a great deterrent to Ning Yuanxian."
"I will not take the initiative to negotiate with Ning Yuanxian."
"When Daynight Prefecture City falls, when Tianxi Province falls, the State of Yue will suffer a disaster, and that will be the day Ning Yuanxian takes the initiative to negotiate with me."
"At that time, Bian Xiao will not only have to retreat, but he will also have to pay war reparations, acknowledge the State of Wu's sovereignty over the Leizhou Islands, and cede at least two prefectures to me!"
"Not only will the State of Wu not lose, but we will also obtain an unprecedented victory!"
"Ning Yuanxian wants to take the risk and blackmail me strategically? In his dreams! "
King Wu suddenly pulled out his sword. He originally wanted to split the whole table in half, but in the middle was his favorite chessboard, so he cut off the corner of the table.
"In the future, if anyone dares to ask me to take the initiative to negotiate with the King of Yue, don't blame me for being too sharp!"
Suddenly, the officials were silent.
… …
In Ning Yuanxian's camp.
The Monarch was in a state of ecstasy and anxiety!
The battle report in his left hand made him excited.
The battle report in his right hand made him furious.
Bian Xiao's surprise attack on the State of Wu had been fruitful. He had burned down countless cities and unharvested farmlands.
The 100,000 troops of the State of Yue could not stop Bian Xiao at all. Instead, he had ambushed and killed 20 to 30 thousand of them.
Although my Senior Brother had not fought for a few years, he was invincible when he attacked.
This was a surprise attack.
Bian Xiao had killed at least tens of thousands of people.
Who knew how many heads had piled up. It was definitely enough to scare the State of Wu out of their wits.
But the battle report in his right hand was simply a pile of sh * t.
Zheng Tuo, the Count of Pingxi!
You are indebted to me as much as a mountain.
Is this how you repay me?
You clearly have 20,000 troops under your command. If you go all out, it's impossible to defeat Su Nan. However, it's entirely possible to restrain Su Nan with Zhang Chong. It's entirely possible to trap Su Nan's rebel army in Daynight County for a month or two.
When that time comes, the State of Wu will be terrorized, and the King of Wu can only choose to compromise and negotiate.
I will then focus on eliminating Su Nan.
And the result?
Zhang Chong's performance was far beyond the Monarch's imagination. He had exerted 150% of his combat power.
Ning Yuanxian was frightened to see this.
He couldn't imagine how Zhang Chong managed to survive.
He was really the backbone of the country. Sure enough, he was the descendant of a valiant general. He was obviously a civil official, but he did the things of a general to the extreme.
But Zheng Tuo!
He only exerted 30% of his strength.
What did he mean by taking the lead? What did he mean by risking his life and being riddled with scars?
Do you think I'm a fool?
What about your 20,000 troops? Why did you only send 8,000?
You also said that Daynight Pass was important and must not be lost, so the other half of the army stayed in Daynight Pass.
Su Nan must have lost his mind to attack Daynight Pass and provoke Zhong Yao's army.
You, Zheng Tuo, are acting with the Su clan. Do you think I can't see it?
You have ulterior motives, ulterior motives.
You, Zheng Tuo, are watching the destruction of Zhang Chong, the fall of Daynight Prefecture, and the fall of Western Heaven Province.
At that time, the whole State of Yue will be dismembered, and you, Zheng Tuo, will be a rare commodity, right?
Don't forget, the army under your command belongs to me, not you.
This person deserves to die!
Damn it!
Ning Yuanxian, who was furious, felt dizzy.
The situation was more complicated and dangerous than imagined.
Eunuch Li Sun wrung a towel and put it on the Monarch's forehead.
"What about Wu Qi?"
Eunuch Li Sun said, "The spies in the north have just reported that the 30,000 troops of Wu State's western line have stopped in place and are ready to return to the western line to besiege Duke Bianxiao. But now, instead of going back, they continue to advance eastward and are going to enter King Wu's camp. "
Ning Yuanxian suddenly sat up.
Then he came to the big map.
At this moment, the two kings of Wu and Yue had more than 200,000 troops on the border defense line.
King Wu had 150,000 troops, and King Yue had 80,000.
The situation was a bit dangerous!
"I underestimated him, I underestimated him." Ning Yuanxian said, "Although this cub is adventurous and reckless, and there are many conservative old ministers in the country to keep him in check, he is very courageous at the critical moment. Bian Xiao's surprise attack on the State of Yue did not scare him. Not only did he not let the western troops return, but he is also going south to intimidate me! "
"Impressive, impressive, I have finally met my match!"
Ning Yuanxian felt hot and dry, so he directly wrung the towel and poured cold water on his head.
"Once Daynight City falls, the southern part of Western Heaven Province falls, and the Su and Qiang unite, I will take the initiative to negotiate with Wu Qi. We will take the initiative to negotiate with Wu Qi. When the time comes, he will demand an exorbitant price. Not only will he demand the right to govern the Leizhou Archipelago, he will even want us to cede several prefectures. "
"What a ferocious tiger cub."
Ning Yuanxian stared at the map and his eyes fell on the position of the Qiang State.
"Where is that bastard Shen Lang?"
Eunuch Li Sun said, "According to the last information, he led 200 troops into the Qiang State and entered Queen Aruna Nana's tribe. King Aruna Nana's 40,000 troops attacked Aruna Nana's tribe and won in just half a day. Aruna Nana's tribe no longer exists. "
Ning Yuanxian said, "Then Shen Lang must have run away with Aruna Nana's army. How many troops does that so-called queen have? "
"Three thousand," Li Sun said.
"Only three thousand?" Ning Yuanxian said.
Three thousand people were definitely not enough to defeat Aruna Nana's 40,000 troops.
Ning Yuanxian said, "Where did Shen Lang escape to with Aruna Nana's army?"
Li Sun said, "It should be the Great Calamity Palace."
"Is he crazy? That is a dead end, a dead end, "Ning Yuanxian said.
Then, his eyes flickered.
"Shen Lang is not that simple. He must have some tricks up his sleeves."
Ning Yuanxian said, "Didn't Ning Jie's secret report say that Shen Lang did not want to contain Su Nan at all, but wanted to completely destroy the Su family and Su Nan's army?"
Eunuch Li Sun said, "He did say that."
Ning Yuanxian's breathing quickened.
At that time, he felt that it was ridiculous.
You, Shen Lang, want to destroy King Qiang's 40,000 troops with only a few hundred people? Dream on.
I asked you to contain Su Nan's rebel army for a month or two, but you said that you want to destroy Su Nan.
Do you think everyone is three years old?
But now!
Ning Yuanxian's heart was beating wildly. He was unexpectedly full of inexplicable expectations for Shen Lang.
No, no, no!
Shen Lang is crazy, but I am not.
How is that possible?
Shen Lang alone can destroy the Su family?
How is that possible?
I can't pin my hopes on him.
But …
No matter how capable Shen Lang was, being able to escape from Qiang Emperor Alutai's clutches was already an impressive feat.
Want to rely on him to save Daynight City and Western Heaven Province?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible, don't even think about it!
The Monarch said, "Order Third Prince Ning Qi to lead 30,000 troops to Lang County. He must block Su Nan's rebel army west of Lang County."
"Yes!"
Eunuch Li Sun began to draft the decree.
At this time, in the Monarch's mind, most of the southern areas of Western Heaven Province had fallen, so he set the bottom line at Lang County.
Zheng Tuo, all the sins were because of Zheng Tuo!
The Monarch said again, "Draft another decree, confer Zhang Chong with the title of Golden Ziguang Minister, and Zhang Xun with the title of Minister of Censorate."
Because the Black Water Bureau had reported that the Su family's experts had paid a huge price to kidnap Zhang Chong's son and grandson.
At this time, the Monarch felt that the three generations of Zhang Chong's family should not be able to live.
The whole family was loyal, and all three of them died in national affairs.
Ning Yuanxian sighed in his heart, "I am ashamed of the Zhang family."
It was Zheng Tuo who caused the death of Zhang Chong.
He was the hero of the country!
Unfortunately, no one in the world could save Zhang Chong.
… …
Daybreak in the White Night City.
Zhang Chong, who slept for less than an hour, woke up.
His whole body was burning hot.
The wound on his chest had already scabbed over.
But because of the fierce fighting in the past ten days, many old wounds had been added to his body, and the wound on his chest had once again burst open.
He often did not sleep for several days and nights, and the longest he slept was no more than four hours. The body's immunity had dropped to the extreme, so the wound was infected again.
The wound on his chest had once again festered.
His high fever had once again exceeded 40 degrees. Of course, he did not know this concept.
In this world, people with strong martial arts were not easy to get sick.
But some diseases could not be resisted, such as intestinal blockage, such as inflammation.
What could resist illness was the bloodline.
For example, Qiu Yao'er, who had been poisoned by heavy metal for several years, and the concentration was so high that other people would have died a hundred times.
But she was not affected at all, except that her blood pressure was super high, and her internal organs were still healthy.
Another example was the Big Fool. After his bloodline power was stimulated by Grandmaster Zhong Chuke, he never got sick again, and ordinary blood poisons were almost useless to him.
At this time, even if Zhang Chong used all his spirit, his mind was still in chaos.
He felt dizzy and light, his head heavy and his feet light.
Walking on the road, his footsteps were light, as if he was stepping on cotton that could be picked off at any time.
The old servant cried and begged, "Master, just drink your medicine and sleep a little longer. Leave the battle to Princess Ning Jie?"
Zhang Chong shook his head and said, "No, if the soldiers can't see me, their morale will drop and the city will fall. There will be plenty of time to sleep after death, so it won't be in this hour and a half. "
Then, he struggled up the steps of the city wall.
He actually couldn't climb up the first level.
He suddenly lifted his foot, and his entire body seemed to be about to faint.
Thus, he closed his eyes, wanting to steady himself.
At this moment, a hand supported him from the side.
It was Eldest Princess Ning Jie.
"Master Zhang, why don't you go rest and leave the battlefield to me?"
Zhang Chong shook his head.
Then, with the help of Eldest Princess Ning Jie, he once again climbed up the city wall.
Everywhere he went.
All of the city guards looked at the skinny Zhang Chong with admiration and worship in their eyes.
These soldiers were already riddled with wounds and exhausted.
But every time he thought about how he could rest for five hours a day after the battle.
And Lord Zhang Chong not only had to climb up the wall to fight personally, but he also had to organize supplies, recruit new soldiers, and so on.
Everyone could rest, but he couldn't.
This was no longer an iron man, but a lamp that had been lit after boiling himself.
Lord Zhang Chong was a third-rank official.
Such a big shot was working hard, what right did ordinary soldiers have to be lazy?
It was precisely because Zhang Chong set an example and did everything in detail that the soldiers under his command were united and united.
So!
Only then could he rely on three to four thousand troops to defend against enemies nearly ten times his number.
He persisted for a full half a month.
But now, he was really going to run out of oil.
And once he fell.
Perhaps it was the moment when White Night City fell.
No, I can't fall, I must not fall!
I must wait until the moment Shen arrives.
He is not Zheng Tuo.
If he said he would come, he would definitely come.
He walked to the top of the city wall.
Zhang Chong said hoarsely: "Everyone, return to your positions and prepare for battle!"
However!
At this time, the Su Clan Coalition Army did not immediately attack the city.
Instead, they built a high platform!
It was only two to three hundred meters away from the city wall.
This was not the commander's platform!
It was like an execution platform.
Because there were two grooves for beheading on it.
Suddenly, Zhang Chong's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.
Next!
Two people were tied up and pushed onto the execution platform!
One was his son, Zhang Xun, and the other was his grandson, Zhang Yun.
In an instant!
Zhang Chong felt as if he had been struck by lightning!
His whole body suddenly trembled, and his vision went black, and he completely fainted.
"Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong!"
Eldest Princess Ning Jie stepped forward and tried to press Zhang Chong's middle finger, and then applied the ointment prepared by Shen Lang on Zhang Chong's forehead and nostrils.
After a while, Zhang Chong woke up, and he was already in tears.
Family members should not be harmed.
Su Nan, you're a beast.
My grandson is not even five years old.
The guards in White Night City were already extremely tired and felt completely powerless.
At this time, seeing this scene, their eyes were about to crack, and their blood was boiling.
Su clan was too despicable, too shameless!
How dare they lay their hands on a child less than five years old!
Su Quan probably knew that this was not a glorious thing, so he did not show up at this time.
Another general of the Su clan walked over. He was Su Nan's adopted son, Su Jianyan. He was also the person who brought people to the Jin clan's courtyard to capture Jinmu Satoshi and kill Lil Bing.
Two executioners stepped forward and picked up the ghost head broadsword.
Zhang Xun and his five-year-old son, Zhang Yun, were forced to kneel on the ground.
Su Jianyan said: "Zhang Chong, your third son, Zhang Jin, is dead. Your eldest son is in the The South Kingdom battlefield, and may not be able to live in the future. Right now, your second son, Zhang Xun, and your grandson, Zhang Yun, are here. If you kill these two people, your Zhang family may be cut off, and your descendants will be cut off! "
Zhang Chong stood on top of the city wall, tears streaming down his face.
Eldest Princess Ning Jie thought, Su Nan's move was extremely despicable, but he wanted Zhang Chong to surrender because of this? Isn't this a little too whimsical?
Su Jianyan said: "Zhang Chong, we are not asking you to surrender. To be honest, even if a person like you surrenders, my Su clan does not need it. "
He suddenly raised his hand.
Suddenly, the two executioners drank a mouthful of wine and sprayed it on the ghost head broadsword.
Then, the two knives slashed at Zhang Xun and Zhang Yun's necks, to find a feeling.
After finding the feeling.
The ghost head broadsword was raised high.
As long as it fell, two heads would fall to the ground.
Su Jianting raised his hand high and said: "Zhang Chong, as long as my hand falls, your son, your grandson's head will fall to the ground. Do you want to watch your children and grandchildren in front of you? Your grandson is not even five years old, and he looks really smart. "
"Zhang Chong, if you don't want your children and grandchildren to die, it's very simple! Just kill yourself in front of everyone! "
As soon as these words came out.
The guards on the city wall were shocked.
Eldest Princess Ning Jie trembled.
Su Clan was so vicious.
It turned out to be forcing Zhang Chong to commit suicide.
Did Su Clan not want their reputation anymore?
But looking at the Su Clan's allied forces.
Most of the soldiers felt that there was nothing wrong, and they did not feel guilty at all.
Understood!
The Su family was close to the Western Regions and the Qiang country, and the people here did not have any sense of propriety or shame.
Su Nan's actions were naturally condemned by the people of the Eastern Regions, but it was indeed common in the Western Regions.
Su Nan was going to regard himself as the country of the Western Regions.
"Zhang Chong, do you want to watch your children and grandchildren die? I count down from five. If you don't commit suicide in front of everyone, your son and grandson will be beheaded. "
"Five! Four! Three! … … "
Zhang Chong suddenly pulled out his sword and placed it across his neck.
Eldest Princess Ning Jie shouted: "Zhang Gong, don't, even if you commit suicide, they will not let your son and grandson go."
Of course, Zhang Chong knew.
But to watch his children and grandchildren die in front of him and do nothing?
This was completely against his scholarly ethics.
Moreover, he felt that if he died, it would stimulate the morale of the defenders and make them fight to the death. Perhaps they could defend for a longer time.
This way, they might be able to hold on until the arrival of the Shenlang army. If the White Night County City does not fall, then I, Zhang Chong, will die a worthy death.
Zhang Xun on the execution platform shouted: "Father, don't!"
Then, his whole body slammed into the ghost head blade to commit suicide.
Five-year-old Zhang Yun cried: "Grandpa, don't!"
Princess Ning Jie used up almost all of her cultivation and rushed towards Zhang Chong.
"Clang!"
The hidden weapon in her hand flew out.
The sharp sword in Zhang Chong's hand flew out.
But the sharp sword still slashed across Zhang Chong's neck.
Blood spurted out.
Zhang Chong's thin body fell down.
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
All the defenders shouted, tears gushing out like a spring.
Eldest Princess Ning Jie rushed forward and helped Zhang Chong up.
She pressed the wound on his neck, desperately trying to suppress the blood that gushed out.
Fortunately, fortunately!
Because her hidden weapon was fired in time.
And Zhang Chong was so sick that he didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.
This sword did not cut the main artery.
And Su Jianyan, who was on the execution platform outside, also trembled, looking at all of this in disbelief.
He hadn't finished counting down from five yet.
Zhang Chong committed suicide just like that?
At this time, Zhang Xun failed to commit suicide. He vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
The remaining five-year-old Zhang Xun wailed.
"Grandpa, Grandpa …"
Su Nan was famous, but Zhang Xun and Zhang Yun still had to be killed.
However, they couldn't be killed in public, they had to be killed in secret.
Su Jianyan looked at the defenders on the city wall, their eyes were red, and they were furious to the extreme, as if they were going to choose someone to devour.
Zhang Chong's suicide, on the contrary, made their morale soar.
Wasn't this self-defeating?
But Su Quan sneered disdainfully.
How long could this kind of morale last?
Eldest Princess Ning Jie's martial arts were very high, but she couldn't lead the army in battle.
With Zhang Chong's death, the defenders in the city would be without a leader, and they would definitely be defeated!
Suddenly, Su Quan appeared on the commander's platform and shouted, "Zhang Chong is dead, the army is attacking the city!"
An earth-shattering war drum sounded!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
More than ten thousand Su Clan allied forces madly rushed towards White Night City!
The craziest siege war began once again!
Although there were less than two thousand defenders in the city, because of Zhang Chong's suicide, all of them were almost mad, and their morale soared.
"Revenge for Zhang Gong, revenge for Zhang Gong!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Perish together with these bastards, perish together!"
A fierce battle broke out once again.
The sound of killing shook the sky!
Blood and qi soared to the sky!
General Su Quan stood on the high platform and let out a long breath.
Don't look at how fierce the battle was now.
The defenders were already unable to hold on, and when this gas was released, White Night City would fall.
From now on, no one in the Western Heaven Province could stop the Su Clan's army.
My Su Clan's phoenix nirvana is today!
And at this moment!
In the southwest direction, a shocking dust suddenly surged up.
It was as if dark clouds were rolling in.
Su Quan sneered, the Qiang Kingdom's vanguard cavalry had finally arrived.
Since yesterday, he had received urgent reports.
Qiang King Alutai continued to besiege Aru Nana and the Shenlang allied forces.
The great general of the Qiang Kingdom, Shu Butai, led ten thousand troops into the Western Heaven Province and joined forces with the Su Clan's army.
More than one envoy had already verified that these were the Qiang Kingdom's cavalry.
Not only had General Shu Butai come, but a few other fierce generals from the Qiang Kingdom had also come. They were all familiar faces of the Su Clan.
Because of this!
Su Quancai decided to break into White Night City in the shortest time possible.
Otherwise, the Qiang Kingdom's army would come to snatch the fruits of victory and mock the Su Family for being useless. They couldn't even take down a mere Daynight City and needed the help of the Qiang Kingdom's army!
Su Quan roared, "Everyone, attack! Take Daynight City! Take Daynight City!"
"We can't let our allies from the Qiang Kingdom see through us."
"Take down Daynight City!"
Su Quan gave the order.
Almost all of the Su Clan's allied forces pressed forward, madly attacking the city.
The entire Daynight City was on the verge of collapse, and the killing was earth-shattering.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
The ten thousand cavalrymen of the Qiang Kingdom could already be vaguely seen.
They began to charge.
Su Quan couldn't help but sneer. You were so slow before, why are you in such a hurry now?
Were they in a hurry to snatch the fruits of victory?
Why were they charging so quickly and fiercely?
Soon, the Qiang Kingdom's ten thousand cavalrymen rushed into the battlefield.
Not only did they not stop, but they charged even more fiercely.
Su Quan couldn't help but be startled, and then he saw an old acquaintance, the Qiang Kingdom's General Shu Butai!
"Great General, you're late!" Su Quan laughed heartily.
And at this moment!
Shen Lang suddenly lifted his cloak.
Queen Aru Nana of the Qiang Kingdom suddenly lifted her cloak.
"I am Shen Lang!"
"I am Queen Aru Nana of the Qiang Kingdom."
"Save Daynight City!"
"Kill the Su Clan's rebel army!"
There was a burst of shouting.
More than ten thousand cavalrymen of the Qiang Kingdom, with an astonishing momentum, fiercely charged from behind the Su Clan's allied forces.
They drowned them!
Instantly!
The Su Clan's allied forces were defeated like a landslide!
A one-sided massacre!
