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

Chapter 740 Can’t go back
Geng Jingzhong looked up and saw that the torches on the city wall had burned out and a ball of flame rose into the sky.

"I was wrong."

Geng Jing's eyes slit and tears flowed down, "I shouldn't have come to stir up this mess!"

He turned his horse around and was about to run away, but he heard a scream from behind, "Marshal."

He turned around and saw several people behind him lying in a pool of blood. These were the generals under his command. They were usually very tough, but now five or six of them had fallen. "What happened?"

Geng Jingzhong's body trembled. He looked around and saw those people looking at him with sad eyes, then they lowered their eyes as if they were hiding something.

"They...they were well prepared."

Geng Jingzhong asked blankly: "Have you prepared in advance?"

"They already knew it."

Geng Jingzhong murmured and repeated this sentence, then laughed and said, "Is this the ending of someone?"

The generals were all silent. They looked towards the city wall with gradually dazed eyes.

"They have already calculated everything. I thought it was a plot, but it wasn't. It was a plan before action. I am stupid."

Geng Jingzhong said sadly: "Someone thought he was very smart, but it turned out that he was the stupidest."

"Commander."

"I'm fine, let's go!"

Geng Jingzhong climbed onto his horse and turned back to look at the generals. "Aren't you going to seek revenge? I will go with you."

They looked at each other, then suddenly knelt on one knee and choked up, "Marshal."

Geng Jingzhong waved his hand, still smiling brightly, "I started out as a teenager in Liaodong, and later worked there. It was windy and sandy, with strong sun and rain, and life was tough there. But every night when it was quiet, I always thought of my hometown. Now if I go back, I may not starve to death."

He looked at the generals and said, "I am gone. Remember to avenge me. Otherwise, I will not be able to catch ghosts in peace."

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The generals cried loudly, but in the end they all rushed forward at the same time.

Ahead was a dense crowd of Emperors, their figures were tiny, like ants.

"Commander."

"No need to send us off. We will regret it forever."

Geng Jingzhong pointed the knife forward and shouted, "Go ahead."

"Go."

The crowd roared, waved their swords, and rushed into the enemy army.

"kill."

Geng Jingzhong was riding his horse at a gallop behind him and looking back at his surroundings.

"The sky in the north is always blue, the spring is warm, and the winter wind feels comfortable on the skin. I have lived in the north for a few years. Although it was difficult, I have friends and a homeland. My parents, brothers and sisters are there."

Geng Jingzhong murmured, "My home is right there. I can't forget it."

There was no trace of the enemy ahead, and the soldiers were fighting bloody battles.

Geng Jingzhong reined in his horse and turned around, "Kill."

He led the remaining generals to fight back, and the generals around him all looked despair.

"Kill!"

The two sides fought in a melee, with blood splattered everywhere. When Geng Jingzhong broke through the encirclement, he sat on the horse in a daze, looking around blankly. There was silence all around, with occasional screams. These screams were heartbreaking. Geng Jingzhong covered his mouth and then jumped off the horse suddenly.

"vomit!"

He took a deep breath and immediately felt a cramp in his stomach, so he lay on the ground and retched. Someone quickly helped her up and asked, "Marshal, are you still going?"

Geng Jingzhong shook his head, then slowly stood up, looked into the distance and said, "Let's go, even if we die, we must die standing!"

His voice was weak, but powerful.

"go."

"I was just a small soldier back then. During one expedition, all my comrades died in battle. I was lucky enough to survive. Later, I settled down in Liaodong. Over ten years have passed in a flash." "But no matter how good the place is, I am still alone. No matter how good the place is, I dare not go back."

"I can't go back. I can't go back."

Geng Jingzhong suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, sobbing, "I can't go back."

Those people lowered their heads, unable to bear to look at his miserable appearance.

After a long while, Geng Jingzhong raised his head, looked into the distance and asked, "Are they all dead?"

The officers whispered, "Two of them had their heads chopped off, and the rest escaped."

"You can't escape."

Geng Jingzhong smiled bitterly and said, "I thought they would flee, but I didn't expect them to fight back. These people are decisive and ruthless, much stronger than me."

He sighed and said, "Let's go. I want to go see Li Zheng. Even if I die, I want to die knowingly."

He staggered forward, but was helped and nearly fell.

"Let's go."

Geng Jingzhong roared, "Go tell them the news, let them know that my people have never been afraid of anyone, go."

"promise."

Several generals gritted their teeth and agreed, then caught up with Geng Jingzhong.

"Go meet Li Zheng."

Geng Jingzhong looked ahead and blinked.

"Commander."

"Commander."

The generals tried to dissuade him, but Geng Jingzhong said, "I know, but I know even better that if I don't go, I will never have a peaceful life. I'd rather die in frustration than go and take a look, at least."

"I want to know how Li Zheng is controlling all this behind the scenes."

"Yes, I'm going to find out."

The generals supported him as he walked forward. Li Zheng saw Geng Jingzhong limping towards him from afar.

I already had a rough idea in my mind. It seemed that Geng Jingzhong wanted to surrender.

"Let them come."

Li Zheng instructed Li Kan.

"Commander."

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "You want to rebel?"

"Don't dare."

Li Kan bowed, and then signaled for Geng Jingzhong to come in. Geng Jingzhong dragged his crippled legs and staggered closer, panting, "I want to take down the emperor."

Li Zheng frowned and said, "You can't even take care of yourself now, how can you serve the emperor?"

Geng Jingzhong said calmly: "I can still take care of myself, it's not a problem, you guys can leave."

Li Kan looked to the side and saw the generals hesitated for a moment, then bowed and pushed them away.

Li Kan shouted, "Geng Jingzhong, I warn you, don't cheat."

Geng Jingzhong looked at him, expression silent, "You all left, there is no point in staying, I just want to be famous."

He turned slowly and looked into the distance.

The fire there was still burning, black rocks rose into the air, and the flames were mixed with corpses, which were piled up together, making people shudder. Geng Jingzhong's cheeks twitched and tears kept rolling down.

"Why do you treat me like this?"

Geng Jingzhong sighed to the sky. The Tang Dynasty generals around him all looked at him coldly. They knew that Geng Jingzhong was driven by the Qing Dynasty and was a real traitor. They had no sympathy for this result.

This was even more true for Li Kan and Hou Junji. If it weren't for Li Zheng's order, they would have drawn their swords and chopped off Geng Jingzhong's head long ago.

"Why? This is retribution. Who told you to be disloyal to the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Zheng's calm expression made people feel scared.
