Eternal Love

   Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen Battles (4)

  Zhou Guo【Jiangcheng】

At night, [Jiangcheng] was left with the remains of gunpowder smoke outside the city, with corpses all over the field, burning siege engines, etc., you can see that they have just been left behind, and the enemy in front is not seen. [Jiangcheng] also appears dead and silent. Wrong, there was a life and death battle here not long ago.

  On the road to [Fucheng], with the light of the torch, you can see a group of people living by the river, people and horses, and you can see that they are stopping for a while on the way...

  "Are these people alone?"

  Sitting on the rock by the river, Zhou Cheng, wearing a pair of golden armor, looked very majestic. He scanned the surrounding soldiers and asked the subordinates in front of him.

   "Yes." The subordinates and soldiers replied, their expressions were obviously a little sad.

   "Very good, let me down with the notice, and leave after a quarter of a break."

   "Yes!"

After    got the order, the soldiers immediately turned around to execute.

Looking at the soldiers around, Zhou Cheng could see that they were very tired. Not only them, but Zhou Cheng himself also felt very tired. After days of fighting, he did not get enough rest at all. In addition, the soldiers just ended a deadly battle. In the future, he can start to retreat before he can breathe, so that no matter how strong people are, they will still feel tired.

   "The emperor."

  A soldier standing beside Zhou Cheng spoke. Judging from the armor style, he was a general-level figure. Seeing Zhou Cheng's gaze under the firelight, he whispered.

   "Is this king very useless?"

  Zhou Cheng's expression was dim, and he whispered in a low voice, and his voice was a bit decadent. It was not difficult to hear that he was a little depressed.

  "How come, if there is not an emperor, how can the generals wait for a soldier to be saved? In other words, my life is saved by the emperor. This result is the best."

  This soldier knew that his lord was on the battlefield for the first time, and he expressed his heart's words with half sincerity and half comfort. The so-called sincerity refers to the real situation and comfort is to give proper praise to the lord who went to the battlefield for the first time.

   "Twenty thousand elite soldiers, only a few hundred are left. Is this also good?"

  Zhou Cheng laughed at himself, looking at the exhausted soldiers scattered in front of him, there was unspeakable distress in his heart, and he couldn't help thinking that it was because he had not participated in a war before, right?

"But how can the emperor know that I am a dead man. In order to delay time, I have already put life and death out of the question. It is the arrival of the emperor that gives us hope of survival. It is the emperor that allows us to win more than before. Time, if it were not for the emperor, I am afraid that the entire army would have been wiped out before the deadline."

The sad and excited voice of the soldiers sounds very depressing. For the dead comrades and the soldiers who survived, life and death are doomed. The dead companions are irretrievable, but the soldiers who survive will be able to get hope. The men on the battlefield Every time you need to put aside your life and everything to participate in every battle, this is something that every soldier has; however, this [Jiangcheng] battle is already a deadly battle on the real name, and the 20,000 soldiers have already put their lives out of it. , I only delayed time for the support of [Fucheng], but never thought that Zhou Cheng would come to [Jiangcheng] as a command. Under the command and leadership of Zhou Cheng, [Jiangcheng] guarded for two more days than expected, until he received [Fucheng] News of the arrival of backup support; but just as the soldiers stationed in [Jiangcheng] were preparing to retreat, the Han army suddenly attacked, unprecedented, causing heavy casualties. Fortunately, due to Zhou Cheng's ingenious tactics, the Han army was repelled at the cost of [ Jiangcheng] The soldiers were almost wiped out, and there were only hundreds of wounded and surviving soldiers.

"This battle is just the forward of the Han army. We lost a terrible defeat. I think that Da Zhou is also a world-renowned warrior, but unexpectedly, I have not won the battle since the beginning of the war. I am afraid that Da Zhou has been wise for hundreds of years. In the hands of this king."

  Zhou Cheng doesn’t want to admit it, it’s not okay. To lose is to lose. He doesn’t want to make any excuses for this.

   "The emperor——"

  The soldiers around him are impatient, how can he not know? Even if he wanted to comfort him, it was the truth. It was a shame to be a soldier to make excuses. Although they killed a lot of enemies, they never changed the result. So he couldn't find any words to comfort Zhou Cheng, so he could only lower his head. Can't bear to break it.

  After a while, the soldier suddenly knelt down on one knee, and said calmly, "The last general is pleased. After arriving at [Fucheng], the last general is willing to be a vanguard and fight with Han."

Zhou Cheng paused. He knew that what this soldier was referring to was a head-on confrontation, not a city defense war, and then a city defense war. [Fucheng] had an absolute advantage, and with reinforcements, it would be unbreakable; however, it would never be possible to obtain it if only defense was not attacked. Victory, so there will be vanguards to fight with the enemy; not to mention how [Jiangcheng] was in a weak position in World War I and what despair he faced, what made Zhou Cheng a little relieved was that the general in front of him clearly experienced those things, even not yet complete Out of danger, he was already thinking about the next battle. This really moved Zhou Cheng, and he couldn't help but feel gratified that Da Zhou had such a soldier.

  "Are you a general under General Pei?"

   "Yes, the last will do it."

   "As expected of General Pei's subordinates, he is as loyal to his liver and courageous as he is, not afraid of life and death."

  "It is a blessing from heaven to be able to hold an office under General Pei in the end of his life."

   "General Pei is dead, what are your plans in the future?"

   "Of course, continue to kill the enemy on the battlefield until the moment of death."

  "This king admires you very much. In this [Jiangcheng] battle, General Pei was conspired by the villain to be a big loss. At first, this king was a little worried, but fortunately there was you."

  Speaking of a bit ashamed, I have lived together for a few days until now I thought of asking the name of this undeniable general. Regardless of his skill, strategy and talent, Zhou Cheng believed that he was an excellent general.
