The sky will always be bright.

Early the next morning, King Ping went straight to Zhang Da with his guards and gave him a death order to stick to Xiangyang, and not to surrender to the imperial court, nor to the King of England.

Zhang Da felt very strange and thought, if this is the case, wouldn't Xiangyang be in a dilemma and become enemies on both sides?

But he was loyal to Prince Ping and always obeyed his advice. Although he had doubts in his mind at the moment, he did not dare to say anything. As a general, the worst he can do is to be buried in horse leather. If the master wants to make such an arrangement, he must have his reasons.

After seeing off Queen Ping, Zhang Da stood at the head of Xiangyang City, looking at the broad river and the warships lined up, his heart was filled with ups and downs.

The Northern Army has indeed kept its promise, and there seems to be no movement. The camp on the riverside has also been withdrawn a lot overnight. It seems that the British King's military front is really strong and threatens the flank of the Northern Army.

!

But, so what?

Since Zhang Da is the commander-in-chief, he has always been able to fight in battles. He silently calculated the current situation and realized how difficult King Ping's choice was!

There is no way forward, and it is difficult to retreat.

This situation is unpalatable to both sides. No matter how hard he uses his troops, there is no better way.

Maybe it's a good idea to take the easy way out?

However, if they lose Xiangyang, where will they be able to defend themselves?

Transferring to Xiangchu, where can Ganzhou General Ling Yue make things easier for him?

"well……"

Zhang Da let out a long sigh. In his dictionary, there was loyalty to his master and respect for the honor of being a general. In such a situation, he felt awkward about which way he was asked to surrender.

But the real way to survive was also clear to him.

That is, drop.

"That's it! At worst, we will live and die together with Xiangyang! With Zhang Da's ability, it will not be that easy to defeat Xiangyang!"

He muttered to himself.

At this time, a sergeant looked at him with a nervous expression, not knowing whether to come forward or not.

"Come here!"

After all, Zhang Da turned around and saw the sergeant. His armor was bloody, his hair was disheveled, and his face was tired and anxious.

"Report, report to the commander, our army reinforced Gucheng, met the enemy halfway, encountered the enemy, and was defeated! Brothers, ugh..."

After finishing speaking in one breath, the man started crying.

"ah!"

Zhang Da was shocked, his vision went dark, and he fainted.

In fact, their news came too late. The 20,000 reinforcements only fled to Xiangyang City in scattered pieces this morning. Little did they know that the Beggar Clan disciples had already received the news last night.

Zhang Da's fainting frightened the guards on the side. They quickly pinched the person and beat his thigh. After half a moment, Zhang Da finally woke up.

When he woke up, Zhang Da burst into tears.

"Heaven is going to destroy me, Xiangyang!"

Zhang Da sighed softly, feeling sad and helpless.

"How many brothers are still alive? Where have the enemy troops arrived? Who is the general?"

He asked three questions in a series.

But this sergeant was just a small commander. At that time, the army was defeated like a mountain. He was lucky and ran fast, so he rushed back to Xiangyang.

"Report, report to the commander-in-chief, you, take a look for yourself!"

As he spoke, he pointed toward the city.

Zhang Da followed his direction and walked slowly over.

Upon entering the scene, hundreds of defeated soldiers were seen, their heads drooped, and in their eyes was the fear that penetrated deep into their bones.

Who and what kind of enemy could make them so afraid?

"You guys are the only ones who escaped? Where is your general?"

Zhang Da is really unbelievable.

Twenty thousand people! Even 20,000 pigs should not have been defeated so quickly and in such an embarrassing manner!

"Come here, anyone who escapes from battle, behead him!"
