Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 74 Chang'an was shaken, Li Chengdao...The Tang Dynasty changed completely on this day!
"well…."

Chai Shao kept nodding, then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

"By the way, how is Chengdao?"

Li Xiuning couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Chai Shao's hands froze as he was picking up food. He then sighed, "I don't know. I didn't see him."

"His followers are very strong. I can't defeat them, so I don't deserve to see him."

Li Xiuning's eyes widened slightly: "Why are you so weak? Were you bullied by that kid?"

When Li Xiuning was still alive, Li Chengdao was still a baby and she held him in her arms. It was hard to imagine that a child could beat her husband like this.

Chai Shao was speechless.

"Oh, you are too weak."

"If only I were still here, you wouldn't be bullied."

Li Xiuning sighed helplessly.

Chai Shao also sighed: "Yes, yes~ I wish you were still here. If you were here, maybe... the Xuanwu Gate coup wouldn't have happened."

"Your prestige back then was enough to overshadow his two brothers. Unfortunately, I am too insignificant to have even a fraction of your prestige."

The more Chai Shao spoke, the more he sighed.

I am frustrated by my own inability.

Li Xiuning rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you still thinking about that? Forget it. You can't figure it out."

"You idiot, you always think I can do anything, but I have done many wrong things when I was alive. People are still people, no matter how powerful they are. How can they not do anything wrong?"

"Alright, alright, don't think too much about it. When you die, just think about what will happen after you die. Why are you still thinking about those things for them?"

"I have nothing to do! If you have nothing to do, just gnaw on the bones. Here, this is for you. The meat on this bone is hard to gnaw. If you focus your energy on gnawing on the bones, you won't think too much."

Li Xiuning picked up a large bone with little meat on it for Chai Shao.

Then she started chatting with Chai Shao again.

After chatting with Li Xiuning, Chai Shao felt much better.

It seems like….
With my wife around, death doesn’t seem so scary anymore.

The two of them continued to get along, eating and chatting, and the picture of the two of them became smaller and smaller, until it could no longer be seen by the naked eye.

That was Chai Shao’s consciousness.

Before he died, he thought of his wife, the wife he missed all his life. However, as his consciousness faded, the picture became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

And this also means that…
Chai Shao, once the patron saint of Qingzhou, the husband of the only female god of war in the Tang Dynasty and even in China, one of the seven great generals of the Tang Dynasty and the fastest general in the empire, died...
….….….….….….
Chai Shao is dead.

Does he hate the people who killed him and caused all this?

Pei Xingjian didn't know.

He only knew that Chai Shao died with a smile on his face.

With the death of Chai Shao, the surrounding Qingzhou camp soldiers seemed to have gained an extra sense of grief, and their fighting power was further enhanced, but in the end, it was a spent force.

Within a quarter of an hour, they were all killed by Pei Xingjian's army.

Just as Pei Xingjian was preparing to make his next decision, several soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp rode towards him not far away.

That is...the clothes worn by the soldiers of the First Yaoguang Team!
The leader of the First Yaoguang Team believes in fighting as a whole, but now only a few soldiers have appeared...
Pei Xingjian seemed to have thought of something vaguely.

The soldiers of the First Yaoguang Team rode up to Pei Xingjian and said quickly, "General, please retreat!"

Pei Xingjian looked at them without answering. His voice trembled as he asked, "Where is your commander?"

“Commander…” When the commander was mentioned, several soldiers of the Yaoguang Battalion looked painful. Finally, one of them said quickly, “The commander told you not to wait for him, nor for the Tenth Yaoguang Team and the Seventh Yaoguang Team!”

"They all sacrificed their lives for His Highness and for Da Yan! They died without regrets!"

Boom!

When these words came out, Pei Xingjian felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

Although he had already vaguely guessed something when he saw only a few soldiers coming back, he couldn't stop feeling sad when they spoke out loud.

But the damage that night was more than that.

Fighting against the Qingzhou Camp,

Despite the decision to completely crush Chai Shao, the Qingzhou Camp was still one of the most elite cavalry units in the Tang Dynasty. While the Yaoguang Camp destroyed the Qingzhou Camp, it also suffered heavy losses itself.

However, the exact amount of battle damage is still unknown and will have to be counted after the war.

It is now post-war, but it is not the right time for statistics.

Pei Xingjian took a deep breath. Although he was sad, he knew that this was not the time to be sentimental. He was afraid that Li Jing was already rushing over at full speed.

He had to give the next order as soon as possible.

"Take the bodies of all our brothers here and retreat!"

Pei Xingjian gave the order in a loud voice.

"Yes!"

The surviving soldiers of the Yaoguang Battalion in various places responded one after another, and then began to carry the bodies of the dead Yaoguang Battalion soldiers onto their horses.

After doing all this, Pei Xingjian issued a new order to retreat quickly!

After joining forces with the Yaoguang teams from other locations, they retreated towards Wangshiwan!

Dong Dong Dong….
The earth was shaking and the dust was flying.

That was Pei Xingjian leading his troops to retreat.

……

A quarter of an hour later, Li Jing led his army to arrive here.

There were many corpses of Qingzhou camp soldiers here. Pei Xingjian did not do anything to them. Although they were enemies, they were all soldiers worthy of respect.

Just as Yuchi Jingde wiped out all grudges for the dead after he chased them to the sea ten years ago and erected tombstones for the dead Eastern Palace remnants and their families, Pei Xingjian would not do anything to these dead people.

Their hatred is only the hatred in their lifetime.

That's it.

"General, this..."

A soldier of Li Jing's army looked at the sea of ​​blood and corpses and said in a trembling voice: "We are too late."

Li Jing's eyes were dim: "Yes, I'm late... I'm late, it's all my fault."

"General!" At this moment, a soldier rode over crying, "General Chai, General Chai... is dead..."

boom!
The words fell.

stunned!

Shock!

Can't believe it!

The surrounding soldiers all widened their eyes.

"What, this!"

"General Chai, how could this be possible..."

"Damn it! Damn Dayan, damn Pei Xingjian!!"

"...."

At this moment, they were filled with hatred.

Li Jing was the same, at this moment his fists were clenched tightly.

"Take me over and have a look."

Li Jing was suppressed and sad, unable to speak.

When the soldiers brought Li Jing to see Chai Shao, at this moment, Li Jing could no longer hold on.

He knelt on the ground and picked up Chai Shao's gradually cooling body.

"Sorry, sorry...I'm late."

"Sorry, sorry..."

He hugged Chai Shao's body, collapsed and tears rolled down his face.

This night,
It was the first time that all the soldiers of Li Jing’s army saw their general so broken down and crying like that.

………………

A few days later.

The news of Chai Shao's death in battle reached the Imperial City of Chang'an, and the Imperial City was in an uproar!
Changsun Wuji and others were sleeping soundly in the morning, but were awakened by the noise.

Eyes wide open in disbelief.

I never thought that Chai Shao would die in battle!
