At this moment.
Only then did Chen Wei realize that the large horse was covered in wounds. It was the same as the messenger, an arrow at the end of its flight.
After rushing out of the Water Lung City to face the enemy's attack, it finally completed its mission after three days and three nights of running without rest.
The king's manor was silent.
"Give this messenger and General Ying's horse a grand burial."”
"Yes."
The servants carried their bodies away and wrapped them up properly.
"Cai Wu, you're courting death!"
Chen Wei snorted and turned around.
……
It was the seventh day since the siege of Lung Water City.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Ying Xiao's army's rations could only last for three days.
In other words,
They had not eaten or drunk for four days.
When Cai Tao was sitting on the platform of Nanpin's base camp and drinking tea,
A messenger from the king's residence rushed into the tent.
It took them four days to get to Nanpin from the king's manor.
Because they didn't have General Ying Xiao's fast horse, they were a day late.
But this was already at full speed.
The messenger panted heavily as he ran in.
No one dared to stop him.
"Cai Tao! The monarch has ordered you to go to Feishui to reinforce General Ying Xiao!”
Cai Tao was dumbfounded. He sat up from the platform and ran to the front to bow.
He became anxious.
What was going on?
How did the king's manor know about this?
"Hehe, this soldier, come and sit down. Have a drink before we slowly talk.”
He pulled the messenger to sit down.
However, the messenger broke free from him and looked at him coldly. He continued to announce the decree,
"The monarch has decreed that if anything happens to General Ying Xiao, the entire Cai Clan will be executed!”
Weng!
Like a bolt of lightning, it struck Cai Tao's head.
The entire family…was executed?
Cai Tao's body trembled. The messenger looked at him coldly.
"I…I'll go now!"
Cai Tao did not dare to disobey. No matter what, he was still the monarch.
Although the monarch was young, he was still the monarch.
Cai Tao was merely a left wing player by Ying Xiao's side. How could he be so bold as to defy the monarch's words?
He quickly gathered his troops and led the army out of Nan Pin.
He did not dare to stay for even a moment.
……
It had been four days.
Water Lung City was in a mess.
Arrows and spears were everywhere, as well as corpses.
Blood stained the yellow soil.
Ying Xiao's left shoulder and head were tied with white ribbons. The bloodstains on the ribbons were flowing in the wind.
He sat on the city gate with a sword in his hand and looked at the desolate land outside the city like an invincible god of war.
Ying Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and his body was covered in dirt.
They had not eaten or drunk for four days.
In the entire army, only Ying Xiao and some of the stronger generals had the strength to fight.
"Great General, let's…surrender!”
Ju Zhan cried and knelt beside Ying Xiao.
Those who died in front of him were all men of the Chen Nation.
Ju Zhan had a sincere heart and could not bear to see the men of the Chen Nation die on this battlefield.
His own situation was not much better.
His left leg and waist were also tied with white ribbons, and he walked with a limp.
Pa!
Who knew that Ying Xiao would slap Ju Zhan's face.
"I swear to live and die with the entire army! Whoever dares to surrender will be disobeying my orders! He deserves to be beheaded!"
Immediately after, Ying Xiao held his sword and stabbed out.
"General, please calm down!" The general beside him quickly held him down. Great General!"
Ying Xiao looked at Ju Zhan coldly, but his sword did not come down.
Ju Zhan remained silent. After a while, he knelt down beside Ying Xiao."This general…obeys!"
Rumble!
At this moment, not far away, the drums of the Southern Yue sounded again…
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The war drums sounded like thunder.
It resounded over the distant land.
The Yue army once again appeared on the horizon, and they were charging over.
The Water Lung City was already damaged.
If the entire army attacked again, the lifespan of this city would not be able to support it.
Besides, they had not eaten or drunk for four days.
All the generals knew that this would be their last battle!
Although he died, it was still an honor!
Ying Xiao slowly stood up and suddenly knelt down, raising his hands to the sky.
"Clear Sky God!" he shouted. Give me strength!"
All the generals were in tears as they knelt behind Ying Xiao."Heavenly God Haotian, grant me strength!"
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the kingdoms only respected two gods.
The north revered Taiyi God, and the south revered Haotian God.
This was an era where everyone believed in ghosts and gods.
Now that they were at the end of the road and in danger, Ying Xiao asked Haotian for help and gave the generals strength.
Although it was really useless, it was a kind of psychological comfort in the hearts of these Spring and Autumn people.
An indescribable power was constantly pouring into their bodies.
"Follow this general to fight the enemy, and fight to the death with Chen Guo!”
"Yes!"
The generals were awe-inspiring, and everyone was prepared to die!
Tears streamed down Ju Zhan's face as he slowly stood up and pulled out the bronze sword at his waist!
Rumble!
The horses roared and the ground shook.
The dark Yue people charged into the Water Lung City.
These southern barbarians were howling. Their thirst for blood was at the peak of their battle intent.
Countless arrows flew toward the Water Lung City, and the generals led the few remaining soldiers to counterattack!
The weapons clashed, and they fought to the death on the surface of Water Lung City.
