The sword slashed suddenly, and the general's head fell to the ground.
There were thirteen battalion captains in the hall, all standing solemnly.
Only the military advisor who had been stabbed in his arms looked at the general whose head had fallen to the ground but his body was still standing proudly, and then looked at the thirteen captains.
He cursed with grief and anger: "You actually buried the general with Yue Zong Po?!!!"
"The general treats you well, how dare you betray the general, turn your back on the people, and join the rebel army?!"
"I, Li Hanfeng, swear on my remnant soul that you and the thirteen others will not die a good death!!!"
Tian Dayi, the lieutenant of the Central Military Academy who stabbed him, said coldly: "Commander, the matter has come to an end. It is useless to talk more. Go and accompany the general."
With a draw of his sword, military advisor Li Hanfeng, dressed in blue shirt, fell down.
Keep company with the general, and you will die with your eyes in peace.
Tian Dayi dragged the bloody sword, looked at the other twelve people, and said: "Act according to the plan and welcome the king into the city."
The other twelve captains all had indifferent and stern expressions.
No one took a second look at the corpses of the general and the military advisor on the ground.
According to their pre-arranged plan, ten captains went to open the city gate to welcome the rebels into the city.
Tian Dayi and the other two captains stayed behind to deal with the aftermath and were responsible for controlling the general's mansion and capturing the general's wife.
The three curses the military advisor uttered before his death shocked the entire general's palace.
When Tian Dayi and the other two captains led the troops to the inner courtyard of the general's mansion, the general's wife was already dressed in military uniform and led a group of female soldiers. When she saw them, she slashed them with her sword without saying a word.
A cruel and bloody battle broke out in the originally peaceful inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.
The general's wife had good fighting prowess, but she was no match for Tian Dayi and three other captains. After cutting off one of Tian Dayi's hands, she slowly fell down.
She lay on the ground, looked in the direction of the hall, and chanted softly: "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years... I will wait for the general to return and restore my Dafeng... city!"
After saying this, the general's wife closed her eyes.
The female soldiers who were still fighting committed suicide one after another when they saw this scene.
The battle in the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion ended immediately.
Tian Dayi's left arm was broken. He covered the wound with his right hand, his face gloomy.
"General Tian, let's go, the king should have entered the city." A captain reminded.
"It's a pity that Madam is strong-willed, otherwise it would be another achievement to present her to the King." Another captain had some regrets on his face.
Tian Dayi glared at him, said nothing, and walked outside first.
The two captains followed with their personal guards.
The south gate opened wide, and countless rebel troops poured into Gale City.
When the blood-stained flag on the city head was replaced, many figures silently left the Windy City.
Tian Dayi and other thirteen Dafeng City captains, together with their personal guards, knelt in the square in front of the general's mansion to greet the leader of the rebel army, the South Heavenly King Zhao Batian.
Zhao Batian, who has red hair and curly beard, is extremely tall and tall. He looks more like a mountain king than a general.
He looked at the thirteen former captains of Gale City who were kneeling on one knee to greet him, and showed a smile.
His voice was hoarse and he said: "If it weren't for the generals who dedicated the city, I would still be suffering from the cold wind outside the city at this time. Thank you for your hard work, I will give you a credit!"
Tian Dayi and other thirteen captains clasped their fists and replied: "Your Majesty is destined to return, sweeping across the world. We waited to greet you today. We are already late and we dare not claim our merits!"
Zhao Batian smiled and said: "You all have meritorious service. I will never treat those who have meritorious service unfairly. From now on, you will all be promoted to the fifth rank and become my generals to protect the army!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After Tian Dayi and the thirteen captains and subordinates stood up, Nantian King Zhao Batian looked around the entire general's palace.
Then he spat out two words indifferently:
"Massacre the city!"
Tian Dayi and the other thirteen captains were shocked.
The generals of the rebel army beside Zhao Batian had their swords unsheathed and their spears raised high.
"Your Majesty, since you have entered the city, why bother..."
Zhao Batian interrupted calmly: "The small windy city has blocked my army for several months. If we don't massacre the city, how can we be worthy of the tens of thousands of brothers who died in the battle?"
"But the king..."
Zhao Batian glanced at Tian Dayi: "I didn't know that General Tian was such a benevolent and righteous man. Could it be that he still has old feelings?"
Tian Dayi and the other thirteen captains felt cold all over, they all bent down and bowed their heads, and replied in unison: "Don't dare!"
A contemptuous smile appeared on Zhao Batian's face, and he stopped looking at them. With a wave of his hand, countless rebels immediately rushed to various streets and areas in the city like hungry wolves out of their cages.
Wails echoed throughout the Windy City.
Blood also dyes the darkest dawn night.
A leisurely figure in a green shirt stood on top of the tower, watching all this quietly.
It turns out that this is how the Gale City fell hundreds of years ago!
…
The cold moon was shining high, and black clouds still enveloped the entire windy city.
Kang Changyun led five soldiers and walked along Liangshui Street in the south of the city.
On its way north, the Nantian King's army was blocked by the counter-rebellion army led by Duke Dazhu Guoan of the imperial court at the line of Damang Mountain several hundred miles away.
Dafeng City was used as the base of the rear camp by Zhao Batian, the king of Nantian.
Kang Changyun, Tian Dayi and other thirteen former Dafeng captains, now generals of the army, were all left in Dafeng City and were responsible for raising food and grass.
Kang Changyun was originally just a pawn in the swordsman camp, but was later recommended to the general by fellow villager Tian Dayi and became a personal soldier.
After several battles to defend the city, he was awarded the title of Lieutenant of the Swordsman Battalion for his merit.
That night, he was one of the other two captains who stayed behind to clean up the aftermath and invaded the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion.
"General, do you think the king can defeat An Guogong's army?"
Seeing no one around, a soldier asked in a low voice.
Kang Changyun replied: "Your Majesty has reached the Great Perfection of the Ten Realms, and there is no rival among the saints. Although An Guogong is a half-step saint, his body and bones have long since decayed, and his energy and blood have also been depleted, so he is definitely no match for your Majesty."
"
"Is it?"
"Of course! Xiao Daniu, why the hell are you asking this? You still dare to question the king, be careful if the soldiers hear the news, I won't be able to save you by then."
Private soldier Xiao Daniu is a young man with a stocky build and honest appearance.
Hearing Kang Changyun's scolding, he grinned and said: "General, you may be right. King Nantian may be invincible in the world, but it's a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity you can't see that day!"
After saying this, Xiao Daniu stabbed Kang Changyun in the stomach.
One of the other four soldiers stepped forward and covered Kang Changyun's mouth to prevent him from making any sound.
The two of them held him down, preventing him from moving.
There is another person who is responsible for looking out.
"This sword is for military division!"
laugh!
Another knife.
"This knife is for my wife!"
brush!
The sword flashed and Kang Changyun's head fell to the ground.
"This sword... is for the general!"
…
Cuiyun Tower is the most luxurious brothel in Dafeng City.
The night is quiet.
Many of the rebel commanders who stayed behind in Gale City were having fun in Cuiyun Tower.
Ji Fangping, one of the former Thirteen Captains of Dafeng and now the Crossbow General, also brought several close associates to drink in the private room on the second floor of Cuiyun Building.
These close confidants have followed Ji Fangping through life and death for so many years.
That night, I followed him and participated in the ruthless killings that stained the night with blood.
Such close confidants were his life-saving asset in troubled times, so Ji Fangping would not treat them badly.
After drinking a few glasses of wine together, he took out a few more silver ingots and asked the madam to call some young and beautiful girls. They chose them and took them to the next room.
And he himself called his favorite girl Lianyue.
"General, is this wine delicious?"
Miss Lianyue came and gently closed the door.
Ji Fangping pulled Lianyue into his arms, held her chin and smiled: "Beautiful! But no matter how beautiful the wine is, it is not as beautiful as Miss Lianyue. I must have a wonderful time with you tonight, sir."
Lianyue moved her hand away and said softly: "General, it's fine if you have a nice drink, but if you want to have a good time tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to do that."
"Oh? Why? I think I'm pretty good!"
Miss Lianyue smiled charmingly: "Because that jar of wine can not only make you drink beautifully, but also make you drink to death!"
"What did you say?"
Ji Fangping's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to reach out to grab Lianyue's neck, he suddenly lost all strength and collapsed on the chair.
Lianyue slowly drew out his portable dagger.
Ji Fangping's eyes were frightened and angry, and his mouth kept opening and closing, but he could no longer speak.
Seeing his dying struggle, Miss Lianyue smiled.
The Ruanjin Powder I bought from a foreign merchant is really useful.
Then she stabbed the dagger hard into the other person's chest.
Ji Fangping's face was pale and his expression was in pain. He wanted to call his confidants, but he couldn't call out a word.
The cheerful sounds from next door kept coming, but Ji Fangping slowly sank into the abyss.
Lianyue turned the dagger and stirred it, with a smile on her face.
"For the general, and for the people in the city!"
Pull it up and drop it again.
Knife after knife.
…
Not far from the General's Mansion, a wealthy family's compound was converted into a garrison mansion.
It was almost dawn at night, but the lights in the garrison were brightly lit.
Tian Dayi, who had been promoted to garrison general by Zhao Batian, the king of Nantian, sat on the grand master's chair in the hall.
In front of him, kneeling were a dozen soldiers, all of whom were bodyguards of his former colleagues.
"You just said that Kang Changyun, Ji Fangping and twelve of them all died tonight?"
Tian Dayi looked at the twelve people who reported the news with a stern expression, his voice as cold as thousand-year-old ice.
Zhao Batian, the king of Nantian, has defeated An Guogong's 80,000 troops. The main division has returned, preparing to repair in Dafeng City for half a month, and then attack the southeast camp of the imperial court and sweep all directions.
At this time, these people told him that Kang Changyun and Ji Fangping, the twelve former captains of Dafeng City, were all dead. If this news reached Zhao Batian's ears, how should he, the garrison general, deal with himself?
More importantly, twelve people including Kang Changyun, Ji Fangping and others are dead.
Then, will it be his turn next?
"Search for me! Search every corner, every ditch, and every gap in Gale City. Find all these sneaky people!"
"Tonight, General, I will go on a killing spree!"
Tian Dayi gave the order coldly.
However, no one responded in the entire garrison.
Tian Dayi was startled for a moment, and then his expression changed slightly.
At this moment, before the bloody massacre began, the figures that had left silently came out from every corner of the garrison.
They came to the brightly lit hall.
Came to Tian Dayi.
Bringing the heads of twelve people including Kang Changyun and Ji Fangping.
Tian Dayi looked at these figures and felt familiar yet strange.
He stood up and wanted to draw out his sword, but his whole body suddenly froze.
"Moon Burying Zombie Poison? You..."
Tian Dayi's face was filled with shock and horror.
He recalled that night, when the general just stood up, he became stiff.
And the Moon Burying Zombie Poison was administered by his own hands.
He was once the captain of the general's personal guard, and later became the lieutenant colonel who the general relied on most.
But that night, he first gave the general the moon poison in his drink, and then stabbed and killed the general's most trusted military advisor.
And tonight, those figures that had gone far away came back.
With their anger, they came back with the heads of Kang Changyun's twelve people, and perhaps more things.
No one spoke. After killing the twelve people who reported the news, these figures took turns coming forward, each with a knife, and the knife was bloody.
At dawn, the night is darkest.
A raging fire broke out in the garrison mansion.
And those figures who had gone away and returned, brought thirteen heads with them to the General's Mansion campus and set up an altar.
And raised a bloody flag.
When the blood-red flag fluttered in the wind, thirteen heads were piled on the altar.
These figures knelt down together, clasped their fists and shouted: "General, your soul is back!"
call--
The night wind blows.
There was no movement in the general's mansion.
But on the south gate tower, there was a tall and majestic figure wearing battle armor.
The people in the school grounds got up and headed to the south gate together, and soon arrived under the city tower.
On the tower, a tall figure wearing armor looked back at them with a smile.
Then he looked towards the general's mansion.
In the inner courtyard of the General's Mansion, a beautiful figure flew up, wearing a military uniform and a sword at his waist.
Da da da da da——
There was an earth-shattering sound of iron horses outside the city.
The tall figure on the tower looked up and saw a hundred thousand rebel troops, led by the red-haired and bearded Nantian King Zhao Batian, returning to Gale City.
Zhao Batian was sitting high on the bloodthirsty golden wind beast. He also saw the familiar figure on the tower and couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, isn't he already dead? We have already experienced his true nature, how could he appear on the city tower intact?" A rebel leader asked in surprise.
On the other side of the bloodthirsty golden wind beast, an old man looked worried: "The reappearance of this figure means that there must be some unknown changes in the city. Don't be careless!"
Zhao Batian, who had red hair and curly beard, didn't care at all and said: "So what if he really survives? It's just another attack on the city. I have an army of 100,000, and even the old man An Guogong is not mine.
What can my opponent, a mere general defending the city, do to me?"
With a wave of his hand, the rebel leader issued the familiar order:
"Siege the city!"
Immediately, hundreds of thousands of rebel troops, like hungry wolves emerging from their cages, swarmed towards Gale City.
This moment is exactly like that moment.
But, after all, there is something different.
The tall figure on top of the city tower swung his sword, and countless souls walked out of various streets in the city in an orderly manner.
When they arrived in front of the South Gate Tower, they had already assembled an army of thirty thousand people.
"The rebel army has invaded the city. Please follow me to attack and kill——"
The south gate opened wide, and 30,000 troops followed the tall figure wearing armor and charged towards the rebels outside the city.
In this battle, the sound of killing was loud and blood flowed from dawn to dusk.
When deep night fell again, the rebel army was defeated and all 100,000 thieves were killed. Only Zhao Batian, the leader of the rebel army, escaped alone.
The tall figure whose shirt was torn and covered in blood stood on top of the mountain of corpses of the rebels.
He looked at the tower and said with a smile: "Commander, I told you, give me 30,000 elite soldiers, and I can defeat an army of 100,000 thieves."
"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"It's just a pity that the thief escaped."
No one answered.
Only on top of the tall tower in the city was a leisurely figure in a blue shirt, watching this scene quietly.
