Volume 1 Chapter 100 General Fengchen
Generals Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu were both stunned, and then looked at Nagarjuna with surprise and embarrassment, obviously not wanting to go.
They have cavalry on their side, and their numbers are astonishingly large. Wouldn't it be courting death to lead the troops to charge forward?
By then, not to mention the army being unable to stop them, I'm afraid both of them will be trampled into meat paste by the cavalry.
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, Longshu couldn't help but scold them angrily: "What are you two thinking about? Go!"
The two men still did not move. Seeing the army with the "Thai" flag getting closer and closer, General Shiqin said with a bitter face: "Marshal Long, the situation is hopeless, let's retreat!"
Ma Ming also said: "Yes, now that things have come to this, we can only escape!"
"Asshole!" Long Shu cursed, "Escape? Where can we escape to? We have no way to retreat, and there is not a single grain of food in the army. If we escape now, we will starve to death on the road. It is better to lead the troops to fight!"
"You two cowardly bastards, just stay here and wait to die. This general will go there himself!" Long Shu cursed loudly, then rushed into the army, called upon a large number of soldiers and rushed towards the reinforcements that were coming.
As a result, the pressure on Linghu Feng and others was suddenly reduced. He looked at the reinforcements in the distance. Although he was puzzled as to which unit the other side was, he was sure that it was from the Great Sun Dynasty.
Linghu Feng immediately raised his sword and shouted, "Soldiers of the Great Sun Dynasty, our reinforcements have arrived. Hold on, victory is at hand. Kill, kill, kill!"
General Longshu rushed forward with 20,000 soldiers, but when these soldiers saw the aggressive and rushing cavalry, they were all frightened out of their wits and fled backwards involuntarily, not daring to charge forward.
In the end, only General Longshu rushed forward shouting and holding a knife. When the two sides got closer, Longshu realized something was wrong. He suddenly stopped and turned around, and saw that everyone was running back.
He suddenly burst into laughter, then dropped the long knife in his hand and looked at the fleeing soldiers with a face full of ridicule and self-mockery.
The next moment, a powerful horse hoof kicked his head to pieces, and his whole body was knocked into the air by the running warhorse. After falling down, his body was submerged by these cavalrymen.
The cavalry was very fast and the fleeing soldiers were soon caught up. These people were frightened. Tens of thousands of cavalrymen rushed in like wolves into a flock of sheep, killing large numbers of Mahayana Baoguo soldiers. Even more people died at the hands of these cavalrymen's swords!
Behind these cavalry troops were more than 100,000 powerful infantrymen, who attacked one by one with spears in hand. In the distance, the two generals Ma Ming and Shiqin were so frightened that they hurriedly ran towards Jiuquan Pass and shouted, "The whole army retreats! Retreat!"
But human legs cannot outrun war horses, and the fleeing people were quickly caught up, and the two generals were also overwhelmed by the cavalry troops and died tragically under the swords.
The battle lasted for a full hour before it finally ended. More than 50,000 enemy troops from the Mahayana Kingdom were finally completely eliminated in this battle.
The troops with the "Tai" flag immediately cleaned up the battlefield, and the main force began to enter Xiyuan Pass. No one paid any attention to Linghu Feng and others.
After this bloody battle, only less than 500 of the nearly 5,000 remaining soldiers in Xiyuan City survived. It was truly tragic.
Linghu Feng was relieved at first and was planning to lie down and rest, but he felt something was wrong, so he asked the soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, "Which unit are you from? Where is your commander? Ask him to come see me!"
The soldier ignored him. Linghu Feng frowned and shouted loudly: "I am General Fengchen Linghu Feng. Let your commander come to see me!"
Still no one paid any attention to him, but the next moment, a large number of soldiers holding spears surrounded the nearly 500 of them. Linghu Feng saw that the situation was not going well, so he immediately drew his sword and shouted angrily: "All troops, be on guard!"
At this time, the soldiers surrounding them opened up a gap, and a young man who looked to be in his twenties rode a warhorse and slowly walked over.
He was wearing a emerald green brocade robe with patterns of birds and beasts, a blue belt with horns tied around his waist, long flowing hair, clear tiger eyes under his eyebrows, a slender figure, and a very dashing appearance.
Linghu Feng was very surprised that such a large army would be led by such a young man, but when he thought of the appearance of the current emperor, he felt a little better.
"Thank you very much for rescuing me, my dear brother. I am grateful for your kindness. I am Linghu Feng. I wonder who you are and why you have people surrounding us!" Linghu Feng first said politely and then asked.
The young man actually did not dismount, but looked down at Linghu Feng, then he bowed and said, "I have often heard of General Fengchen's reputation since I was a child, and I have long admired him. After seeing him today, I can see that the general is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
Then he dismounted and came to two meters in front of Linghu Feng, and said with a salutation, "To be honest, I am the governor of Shanluan Prefecture, Dongfang Taishan!"
Linghu Feng's expression softened a little after hearing this, and he also bowed and said, "So it's the Dongfang Prefecture Governor. Nice to meet you! I wonder if these soldiers can be withdrawn. It's really unsettling to have them surrounding me like this."
Dongfang Taishan said with a smile: "General Linghu, wait a moment. To be honest, in today's world, the emperor is cruel and warlike, the ministers abuse their power at will, and the people are living in misery. Now the Great Sun Dynasty is falling apart, and eighteen rebel kings have appeared in various parts of the world, wanting to overthrow the tyranny, reorganize the government, and bring peace to the world and the people!"
"And I am one of the eighteen rebel kings, with the title King of Mount Tai!"
Linghu Feng was furious when he heard this: "How dare you! How shameless! You are a traitor, yet you still dare to speak so confidently in front of this general!"
After Linghu Feng finished speaking, he was about to rush forward with a knife to kill Dongfang Taishan, but the other party quickly turned around and ran away. The soldiers behind him immediately rushed up, with dozens of spears pointed at Linghu Feng. As long as he dared to take another step forward, he would be stabbed to death.
"You thief, if you have the guts, come here and I will chop off your head!" Linghu Feng cursed with his face flushed.
Dongfang Taishan's expression returned to normal, and then he frowned and said, "General Linghu, I respect you as a hero, please don't make the mistake!"
"General Linghu is a second-rank general. He was able to lead the remaining troops to resist the enemy forces of the Mahayana Kingdom for such a long time. He is truly a pillar of the Great Sun Dynasty!
This king also admires the general very much. As long as the general can abandon evil and join the light and follow this king wholeheartedly, I will treat him as a marshal!
How about having General Linghu command all of my 200,000 troops?"
"Hahaha!" Linghu Feng laughed loudly upon hearing this, "Bah, you traitor still want me to be loyal to you, it's really wishful thinking and a fool's dream!
Even if I die, I will never even look down upon a traitor like you!"
Dongfang Taishan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said angrily, "The current emperor is incompetent and unjust. The people of the world have long since rebelled. The fall of the Great Sun Dynasty is only a matter of time. General, you must think clearly. Following me is definitely the wisest choice!"
"How ridiculous, how ridiculous!" Linghu Feng said angrily, "You little brat, have you ever seen the heroic figure of the current emperor? His Majesty's spirit and mind are something you will never be able to catch up with in your entire lifetime!
The emperor is a wise ruler throughout the ages. He has been working for the country and the people all day long. He issued two self-criticism edicts during his reign. What a wise ruler he is! How can you, a villain, be compared with him!
Now the emperor is fighting in the front for the people of the Great Sun Dynasty, you villains are not helping, but you are causing chaos in the dynasty, bringing disaster to the people, and making excuses for yourself, calling yourself a king. You are really making me laugh to death!"
"How dare you!" Dongfang Taishan was so angry that he pointed at him and said angrily, "If you don't accept my toast, I will punish you. Kill me!"
"yes!"
The soldiers who surrounded Linghu Feng immediately launched an attack, stabbing Linghu Feng fiercely with their spears.
Linghu Feng's body was already overloaded, so how could he be a match for so many soldiers? Dozens of spears pierced his chest directly.
"Ugh~" A large amount of blood flowed out of Linghu Feng's mouth, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
"General!" The nearly 500 soldiers behind him immediately went crazy and rushed forward with swords in hand, trying to save Linghu Feng without caring about their lives.
But how could the people of Dongfang Taishan let them get close? Immediately, a large number of archers drew their bows and shot them one by one.
Only 500 remaining soldiers were quickly defeated by the attack of numerous archers, and no one survived.
Linghu Feng seemed to sense it, and his eyes, which had been absent-minded, regained clarity again. He stared at Dongfang Taishan not far away and shouted loudly: "Ah~!"
Dongfang Taishan was frightened by his eyes, but he could not lose face in front of his subordinates, so he immediately became ruthless, drew the sword at his waist, rushed forward, and slashed down with the sword!
Linghu Feng, who was howling, suddenly became silent. His blood-red pupils shrank, and then his head tilted and fell from his neck.
A veteran general and a loyal minister of the Great Sun Dynasty, he joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought on the battlefield as a small soldier until now he has become a second-rank general!
Such a legendary general, now nearly fifty years old, went to the battlefield again to fight bravely. He did not die under the brutal swords of the enemy army, but died at the hands of his own people.
After killing such a person whom he admired, Dongfang Taishan's breathing became a little rapid. He did not dare to look at Linghu Feng's head that fell to the ground. Instead, he looked around and put away his sword and ordered: "All troops enter the city and take over Xiyuan City!"
“Give me a good burial of General Fengchen’s body, but hang his head on the wall of Xiyuan City!” Dongfang Taishan said with a ferocious look on his face, “I want everyone to know that if you don’t obey me, even if you are a general of the second rank, you will end up like this!”
Far away in the territory of the Mahayana Kingdom, two hundred miles away from the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom, the army of the Great Sun Dynasty was advancing rapidly, with three hundred Great Sun cannons constantly pressing forward, aiming for the capital of the Mahayana Kingdom!
In the marching team, in a luxurious carriage with carved dragons, Xiang Yun, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, his look was full of coldness, which was extremely captivating.
He was the only one in the carriage. He didn't have a nightmare just now, but he suddenly felt a palpitation and a little uncomfortable.
This feeling was fleeting. Xiang Yun frowned slightly, somewhat confused. After a long while, he let out a long breath and asked loudly, "How far is it from the capital of the Mahayana Treasure Country?"
