Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 817 Killing the King

Rumbling--

Iron hooves trampled the ground. Under the bright sunlight, the cavalry rushed out of the city at the speed of their horses. The position of the Ox-shaped flag was no longer as threatening as it was at the beginning, and it could only gallop in the dust behind.

Wanyan Sheng's heart was bleeding. As a middle-aged man, he witnessed the wars of all sizes in the Wanyan tribe before the rise of the Jin Dynasty. Behind each victory was a brutal massacre, not only of the people of other tribes, but also of the tribal leaders.

Now that the Qi army had broken into the city, he could guess the fate of his sons, but he subconsciously tried not to think too much about it, as if this would not make him feel sad, until his eldest son left.

Now, he knew better than anyone what it meant that the Qi army was catching up with him.

"Puluhu..."

Whispering the name of the eldest son softly, there was sadness on the old face.

The sound of horse hooves reached his ears and there were shouts of killing all around. Knowing that he was still in danger, Wanyan Sheng perked up, glanced at the infantry chasing him from the side, and roared "Charge!" He raised his iron spear and rushed forward. The guards on both sides would not let him take risks, and rode their horses desperately to protect him.

In the sight, there were shadows of spears that the familiar figures were stabbing like they were venting their anger, and in an instant, bloody holes were made on the bodies of the Qi army's infantrymen. The swords and knives that were chopped down were quickly blocked by the personal guards on both sides. In the back, the personal soldiers who swarmed forward caused a bloody storm among the infantrymen, and some of their horses had their legs chopped off and fell off. The shouts and howls of both sides intertwined together.

"Bojilie, this way——"

"Don't fight anymore, the cavalry is following us!"

Hearing the shouts of his personal guards, Wanyan Sheng instinctively turned around and saw a black figure approaching. He spat fiercely, turned his horse's head, and followed the personal guards in front to charge out.

They were all carefully selected elite soldiers. These rushing infantry were not enough to stop him. He knocked away the troops and horses blocking his way through the weak points and ran away all the way.

The infantrymen blocking the road were unwilling to let them escape, but before they could catch up, waves of arrows came from the front, knocking them down one after another. They had no choice but to put up their wooden shields. The trembling sounds were endless and the shields kept shaking. When they calmed down, the infantrymen at the back put down the things blocking their view. In their pupils, the people and horses had already gone far away, leaving only dust in their eyes.

The roar of horse hooves was heard again from the rear. His own cavalry in black armor whizzed past. Niu Gao gritted his teeth and led his troops to catch up with the Jin cavalry in front. Judging from the smoke and dust, there were only about a hundred soldiers and horses in the front. However, they seemed to be more elite than the previous cavalry, which made him feel vaguely that they were a big fish.

We can't let him go like this...

He gritted his teeth, raised his injured arm and pointed forward: "Catch up with them!"

……

The sound of trumpets and fighting could be heard in the distance. Du Fu, who was running behind the formation, had a relaxed look on his face. The South Gate and West Gate had been broken. Judging from the movement of flags and the sound of trumpets at the North Gate, the city was advancing. Looking intently at the open city gate, this fierce general had a smile on his face.

The city gate is open and it seems that the north gate has fallen.

Calculating the time, the information from the west and south gates should not have reached here yet. It would be a great achievement if I could knock open this door by myself.

"General, there are cavalry coming."

A personal soldier beside him heard the noise, looked carefully, and shouted, "There is General Niu's flag in the rear."

Du Fu cast his eyes towards the smoke and dust, frowning: "The military advisor has given the order to move forward, but this group of soldiers and horses are galloping backwards, and Niu Gao is chasing behind them. They are not our cavalry." He pointed his Zhangba Snake Spear in that direction: "Go over and take a look. If they are Jin soldiers, stop them."

The war horses turned, and the eight hundred cavalrymen led from the central army galloped towards the source of the smoke and dust.

……

Hot weather.

In the swaying vision, smoke and dust were rising in the southwest. Wanyan Sheng wiped the sweat off his face. Niu Gao was nagging at him from behind, and the road ahead was blocked. He looked a little desperate: "Why is there still a cavalry here? Does the god no longer protect his people?" "Bojilie, fight with the Qi army, we will cover you and leave first."

"Yeah, fight them."

"...It's too late." Wanyan Sheng forced a smile, looked at the soldiers beside him, shook his head and said, "I can't escape." He slowly pulled the reins and said, "I figured it out. The Qi army is surrounding the city on all sides. If we escape from here, there are still Qi army camps behind us... We can't escape."

Repeating it again, the warhorse slowly slowed down, and he could see the Du flag fluttering in front of him. A figure wearing green dragon armor and holding a Zhangba Snake Spear was rushing forward.

As the guards around him slowed down, he turned back to look at the general flag with the Chinese character "Niu" chasing him and said in silence: "I have decided to surrender. You don't have to fight anymore."

"Extremely strong..."

Wanyan Sheng raised his hand: "Stop talking, I have made up my mind."

Ahead, the field was shaking. The 800 cavalrymen were already quite close. Du Fu raised his snake spear. The cavalry slowed down and stopped within an arrow's range. The warrior on horseback glanced at the opposite side and tilted his head: "Is that the Jin emperor Wanyan Sheng in front?"

"It's me!" Wanyan Sheng did not deny it. He had seen the general on the other side when Qi came to help. He was a great general. He sighed on the horse and said, "Come and catch me quickly. I have some questions to ask your King Qi." He smiled sarcastically and said, "I'll give you a credit as well."

"General Du, great achievement!"

"It's actually Wanyan Sheng!"

"What luck!"

There was a commotion among the cavalry at the rear, and a figure in front wearing Qinglong armor slowly clenched his Zhangba Snake Spear. In sight, the general flag with the word "Niu" on it was slowly gathered in the rear and stuck to the flagpole, and Niu Gao's familiar face came into view.

"Pass the order, all troops, follow me." Taking a deep breath, the black cavalry marched forward. Du Fu lowered his head slightly, and his facial expression could not be seen clearly.

Over there, Wanyan Sheng let go and threw the iron spear to the ground. His personal guards were even more dejected. They put down their guns and spears one by one. There were faint sobbing sounds, mixed with two incomprehensible Jurchen words. The cavalrymen of Niu Gao in the back also moved forward at the signal.

"They should... blame me." Wan Yansheng raised his head and looked at the sun. He suddenly felt that it would be better to stay in the city. He ran for a long time but couldn't escape from the grasp of others. It was really a bit...

Dedede——

The sound of galloping war horses suddenly came to Wanyan Sheng's ears. He looked forward in surprise. The curved snake spear brought a cold light into his pupils, and then stabbed into his chest with a "puff". He could not help but reach out and grab the cold and hard spear shaft.

"you……"

Blood flowed down the spear and the man was pushed off the horse's back by the force.

"There is no need for anyone else who has ever been called king in Qi."

A loud voice came from the figure holding the spear: "Kill——"

The dead bodies were thrown out, and the air was filled with murderous intent.

The black knight was stunned for a second, and suddenly let out a louder "Kill!" sound.

The massacre began at this moment. (End of this chapter)
