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

Chapter 739 Breakout

Chapter 739 Breakout
"Li Zheng, you are courting death!"

Geng Jingzhong's voice floated from afar, and he slowly raised his right hand.

A flag was erected here.

"Fire arrows!"

The kerosene can on the top of the city wall fell down, and the flames on the top of the city wall rose into the sky.

"Quickly put out the fire!"

Li Zheng shouted, but was powerless to save the situation.

A large number of reinforcements have arrived outside the city. They rushed towards the city wall and were about to be blocked by dense rain of arrows.

"Boom."

"Oh!"

The top of the city collapsed.

"Going in?"

A group of cavalry appeared, surrounding a carriage.

Thick felt was hung on the wheels of the carriage, hiding what was on top.

"Sir, we've entered and we can see their granary."

"Well, let them speed up the burning of food supplies."

"Sir, I'm afraid Geng Jingzhong is going to fight to the death."

Li Zheng was sitting in the carriage. He frowned and said, "Let him struggle as much as he wants, as long as he doesn't run away."

"According to the order."

"Marshal, great victory!"

The Emperor's troops outside the city have been suppressed, and Geng Jingzhong's subordinates are cleaning up the battlefield.

"Big victory!"

Geng Jingzhong stood on the top of the floor, looking at the sea of fire, then looking at the soldiers around him, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Sir, the city has been breached."

"The city is broken!"

Geng Jingzhong covered his forehead and choked up, "The city has been breached. We have lost."

Tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked at the city wall with flames rising to the sky, muttering: "We actually lost like this, how, how, we lost?"

Several personal soldiers knelt on the ground and begged for their crimes, and other generals also knelt down.

A feeling of sadness spread and gradually permeated the military camp.

"Commander."

Someone shouted, and Geng Jingzhong suddenly turned around and roared, "Shut up."

His eyes were red and swollen, like a rabbit. "We were sure to win, but in the end we ended up losing miserably. Do you know why?"

He scanned everyone, and finally pointed to the north, full of hatred, "The Tang Dynasty is too powerful, I just realized it today"

He suddenly squatted down, knelt on his knees, and burst into tears with his head in his hands.

"The Tang Dynasty is powerful."

He cried heartbreakingly, but everyone around him just stared into the distance blankly.

"They are excellent archers, they are good at night attacks, they are good at digging traps and ambushes. My defeat was not unfair."

"They, they should have rushed in, I should have surrendered with my family, I should have surrendered, why didn't they rush in, why?!"

He suddenly jumped up, smashed a shield with a slap, and shouted: "Why?"

Everyone was silent.

Geng Jingzhong shook his head and said, "I know, because they are worried that the children of the people in the city will be harmed. This is benevolence and justice, and it is the rule."

"Yes."

Someone whispered, "Marshal, they do care about the children in the city. Otherwise, we would die no matter where we go."

Geng Jingzhong calmed down and said, "Forget it. Now the only thing left for us is death. You can go now."

Everyone was startled, and one of them bowed his head and said, "Marshal, I am willing to stay."

As soon as these words came out, Geng Jingzhong felt disappointed.

"you."

Geng Jingzhong felt like his heart had stopped beating. He turned around slowly and said, "Do you know that what you just said will anger our family and make someone, someone..."

"Commander."

Geng Jingzhong's eyes were dull. He slowly turned around to look at the brave armrest and suddenly smiled.

"You, what are you going to do? Are you afraid of dying for your country?"

Geng Jingzhong gritted his teeth and said, "I will not die for my country. I just want to ask you, if it were the other time, would I still choose His Majesty Xiaozhong like you did?"

The deputy hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I won't, because I don't like living a servile life. That kind of life is more shameful than death."

Geng Jingzhong nodded and smiled, "It's good that you understand. Now that you understand, go ahead."

The deputy was stunned and immediately knelt down.

"I will retire at the end."

He kowtowed and left resolutely, leaving behind him an infinite desolation. "Sir, Geng Jingzhong has betrayed us."

"If they betrayed, then they betrayed. I don't care."

Geng Jingzhong walked slowly to the edge of the city wall, looked at the darkness outside, and said softly: "I never wanted to be the emperor, but it's a pity that your majesty gave me the opportunity."

His expression was complicated, and he finally sighed: "After this time, I will not ask for the throne, but that Li Zheng, ah."

This was a warrior who once wanted to be a brave and heroic official, but he was blinded by his desire for power.

He remembered Shang Kexi's warning and said bitterly, "This must be a hero."

"Forget it, forget it. Things have come to this point. We must break through with all our strength."

Geng Jingzhong's words inspired his soldiers, and Xu Yaowen and Wang Shiyu encouraged them even more and fought bravely.

"kill!"

The two cavalry units charged at each other, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"kill--"

Wang Shiyu slashed down with his long sword, cutting Emperor's neck in half.

"rush out."

Wang Shiyu kicked the corpse and the horse neighed and galloped forward. Behind him were the remaining Emperor Cavalry, who were chasing them and rushed madly towards the city gate.

"kill."

The defenders in the city rushed out one after another, picking up their weapons and rushing out.

"Hahahaha, kill the enemies!"

"kill!"

The fire below the city illuminated the entire city, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.

"Kill them all!"

Wang Shiyu rushed forward and caught a glimpse of a man standing on the top of the city wall from the corner of his eye.

Geng Jingzhong was standing on the top of the city wall, holding a long sword in his hand and laughing with his head raised.

"Kill all the enemy troops, kill them all!"

"Kill!"

When the people in the city heard the shouting and killing, some men rushed out of their houses and started killing with knives in hand.

"Protect women and children."

There were women in the city, and all the generals rushed over.

"Marshal, we have run out of food, you see."

"Walk."

Geng Jingzhong was the first to evacuate, and he retreated more than three miles before he stopped and said, "I'm going to go back and pack up my belongings, and then break out from the south gate."

"Sir, let's."

"I cannot abandon my comrades."

"can."

"Let's go."

Geng Jingzhong rode his horse, followed by a group of soldiers.

But after the sound of horse hooves disappeared, Geng Jingzhong suddenly slowed down. There was a river in front of him, and the water was icy cold.

"It's a shame that I have to rely on this for my living in the future."

A look of regret flashed across Geng Jingzhong's face, but he quickly became resolute.

He drew out his long knife and shouted, "Get in the water."

Wow.

"what"

The river water instantly submerged the man, and he cried out in panic.
