I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 737: A Strike on Geng Jingzhong

He turned around slowly and said, "I want the entire Bianliang to be buried with me."

Everyone was terrified. Bai Xiangzhong advised, "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive, Your Majesty..."

Geng Jingzhong waved his hand and said, "My father ordered me to wipe out the remnants of Wu Liuqi, but they hid overseas. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. I can only follow his example and put the people of the world first."

He galloped on his horse, turned around to look at everyone and said, "Don't worry, when I ascend to the throne, you will all be meritorious officials, and it will be no problem to give titles to your wives and children."

Everyone was overjoyed and prostrated themselves on the ground, saying, "We are willing to serve our country loyally."

Geng Jingzhong said proudly: "I believe in you. Follow me. I will cross the river to the north today."

"According to the order."

Everyone cheered again.

A warrior said: "Your Majesty, that Fang Dahong..."

Geng Jingzhong thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let's spare his life for now."

The crowd cheered and then surrounded him.

Geng Jingzhong's eyes were deep as he murmured, "You all deserve to die, but now is not the time. Once I capture Li Zheng, it will be your doom."

……

Outside Xianzhen Pass, Geng Jingzhong’s army of 100,000 troops is approaching.

The Tang army on the city wall had almost no power to resist, so they dropped their swords and guns and surrendered.

"Open the city gate."

As the city gate opened, Geng Jingzhong rode out on horseback. He stood in front of the formation, looked around with contempt on his face.

"The Ming Dynasty has been defeated. Those who surrender will be spared."

He looked at the disheveled Tang army and said coldly, "Open the city and surrender quickly, and I will spare your lives."

There was some panic in the city, and someone shouted, "I am the Zhengshuo general, and I am here to serve the king. If you insist on not changing your ways, it will be a rebellion, and all nine clans will be exterminated."

"Exterminate all nine clans? Hahaha!"

A long laugh was heard, and Geng Jingzhong rode over and said, "I am the King of Jingnan. How dare you exterminate my entire clan? You are so bold!"

The man was stunned for a moment, then became furious: "You traitor."

"Boom!"

A huge iron ball flew and hit the man's forehead. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. The man slowly collapsed to the ground, and the corpse slowly slid down and finally stopped moving.

"what…"

Geng Jingzhong was stunned, then became furious, and someone came.

There was the sound of footsteps, and a lieutenant came running over and asked, "My Lord, what do you want me to do?"

Geng Jingzhong looked at him coldly and said, "Take him away and feed him to the dogs."

"Yes"

The captain quickly gave orders and several soldiers went up to pick up the corpses on the ground and left.

Bai Xiangzhong and Xu Yaowen were very excited. The short-lived victory even made them think that the Tang army was so vulnerable.

The next moment, a running attack came and half of Bai Xiangzhong's body was cut off.

"what?"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Through the gap in the city wall, Geng Jingzhong, who was still in shock, saw the Tang army with solemn appearance and unified march.

The leader stood proudly in the wind, with the generals gathered around him. Who else could this be but Li Zheng, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?
"Li Zheng, you're so fast!"

Li Zheng rode over. Geng Jingzhong stood on the city wall and frowned, "How dare you go to the battlefield in person?"

"Why not?"

Geng Jingzhong leaned slightly to the side, his body straight, his eyes piercing like a tiger. He glanced at the city wall and sneered, "You want to stop me? Dream on."

He turned his horse and ran. "Chase."

Geng Jingzhong shouted, and everyone drove their horses to chase after them. Xu Yaowen shouted, "Be careful of ambushes."

"What are you afraid of? Can a mere Li Zheng really turn the world upside down?"

Geng Jingzhong rode his horse to catch up. Although he was thin, he was very skilled in horsemanship. He clamped his legs around the horse's belly and held the reins tightly with both hands. He ran while observing the situation around him.

The valley was deep, and a river meandered from the other side. Geng Jingzhong looked at the mountains opposite, secretly delighted, "The other party certainly didn't expect that I would choose to take a detour. The Tang army certainly didn't expect that I would take this road, so they didn't set up any obstacles along the way. Hahahaha, this road is good. After I escape and ascend to heaven, I will pass on the news. At that time, I can take over with justification."

This was his plan, killing three birds with one stone, simple and affordable. In just one year, he would become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and enjoy wealth and prosperity.

He had already contacted Zheng Jing. Once he reached the river, he could board a large ship and head straight for Nanjing. In this way, Li Zheng's bulky army would have no chance of catching up with him.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He felt that this road was really good, so he hurried even faster to get down to Liangzhu.

"He's running away."

The morale on the city wall gradually declined, and many people could not help but sigh as they peered at the wide river outside the city.

The people in the city were already in despair. Some of them knelt on the streets, wailing and praying for God's protection.

"Kill it."

Li Zheng rode forward first, and the cavalrymen behind him rushed over and lined up on the river bank.

Someone on the other side of the river raised a bow and arrow, and the arrow shot out with a whizzing sound, bringing with it a strong wind. Li Zheng was prepared. He stretched out his hand to block it, but the arrow hit the shield and bounced back.

"Fire arrows."

Li Zheng pointed to the right, and suddenly a dense stream of arrows poured out.

"puff!"

Geng Jingzhong saw that the situation was not good and shouted, "Retreat quickly."

"late."

A burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from a distance. Geng Jingzhong looked back and cursed, "Useless."

Li Kan stared at Geng Jingzhong's disorganized military formation and deployment, feeling somewhat confused.

"Your Majesty, Geng Jingzhong seems to have other intentions."

He looked at Li Zheng, who was staring at the river bank in the distance, seemingly thinking about something.

Hou Junji immediately saw the flaw and said, "Your Majesty, I thought Geng Jingzhong wanted to escape by boat, but this was all a trick."

He was somewhat resentful and felt that he had been fooled. Li Zheng shook his head and said, "His intention must be on the other side of the river, otherwise he would not have arranged it this way."

Hou Junji glanced at Geng Jingzhong and saw that he was still madly urging his horse to flee. He couldn't help but curse, "Cunning traitor."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "He is undoubtedly a traitor. His move is to lure us into attacking, and then take the opportunity to seize the dock and escape on board the ship. What a pity."

"How to do?"

Li Zheng said calmly: "Pull the Shenwu cannon over here and blow up both the people and the boat."

"Your Majesty, it's still far from the river."

"Don't worry about it. After the bombing, all troops will charge forward. I want to see how powerful these rebels are!"

His face turned red, his eyes narrowed, and he looked murderous.

"Yes."

"Bang, bang, bang!" One after another, powerful cannons, trailing black smoke, smashed over.

"what!

Geng Jingzhong screamed, staggered, and then fell down.

"Master, what's wrong with you?
"It's okay, I was knocked unconscious, don't worry.

Geng Jingzhong barely raised his head and saw a rocket rushing towards him.
