      The King of the Warring States Era - Long Zhu

      COUNTERMEASURE

      CHAPTER 701 - ON THE EVE OF THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY

      Behind him stood the eyes of the commander, who also had the intention to build a career. He was going to be ruthless, it had to be said that he was much stronger than the guards, with his own qualities, martial arts, abilities, and stamina being much stronger than them. He had to start an assault on the city, and the warriors who occasionally rushed to the city walls waved their long soldiers and killed them, killing five or six people in one breath before being chopped into meat paste.

      As a result, the Wei Jun that climbed up kept on emerging, posing a threat to the city guards.

      Shen Yuan was one of the guards, and was Shen Zheng's distant cousin. He was promoted to centurion, and today, when the siege was in full swing, he saw wave after wave of attacks crashing against the city walls, but they kept falling down, like a wave sweeping across the rocks at the bottom of a cliff, creating countless ripples that then disappeared completely.

      Charge up with me! This kid practiced martial arts diligently, he had worked hard with both the military fist and the Spear Arts, carrying a long snatch, holding a short sword and a Teng Shield, and closely followed the climbing soldiers, dodging cold arrows and rocks several times, safely reaching the top of the city.

      At this time, the guards at the head of the city rushed over and were about to surround and kill him. Shen Yuan gave a loud roar, pulled out his spear, and with a tremble, he fearlessly went up to meet them. He stood together with the guards at the back of the city, protecting the crater, because the crater was where the ladders were, and the soldiers below were still climbing.

      Shen Yuan faced more than ten guards, but he did not panic. On the contrary, he was a little excited. Killing the enemy and bathing in blood on the battlefield, wasn't soldiers looking forward to this moment?

      After stabbing six or seven people in a row, his ribs and back were also injured, and fresh blood flowed out. But Shen Yuan was not afraid, knowing that today, he would probably die in battle, but being able to give the people behind him some time, his own mission could be considered accomplished, so his death was worth it.

      Kill —

      Shen Yuan ignored his injuries and brandished his spear, forcing the guards to close in on him, but as the number of enemy soldiers charging at him increased, he was already exhausted. Pu pu, the arrow pierced into his chest and arm, Shen Yuan endured the pain and roared, The Great Wei will win, the general is invincible!

      The next moment, before he could finish his words, he was stabbed by more than ten spears. Blood gushed out from the bloody holes all over his body. He exhaled a long breath and fell face first onto the ground.

      However, in just a short span of ten breaths, another two to three soldiers had climbed up the ladder. With swords and spears in hand, they continued their bloody battle with the guards.

      Flames of stars could set a prairie ablaze, and as time passed, the sounds of battle grew increasingly intense.

      Chen Ling personally attacked the city with armor, overseeing the battle in all four directions. He mobilized the troops, inciting them to have endless courage, and after a few days of fierce attacks, more and more Wei Jun arrived at the top of the city. The morale of the three armies rose, and the morale of the city guards were affected.

      It was already afternoon. More and more dark clouds gathered, and the sky was filled with dark and gloomy clouds.

      Not only was the aura of death too strong, but the army's soul was in it as well. The clouds grew thicker and thicker, and the howling wind became more and more mournful. The sounds of killing, the soldiers' screams, and the clashing of the Gold Steel Horse were all absorbed by the dark clouds.

      Wei Shi Jun and the civil and military ministers all heard that the city was in danger and were like ants in a hot pot. Some civil officials once again expressed their opinion of reconciliation and begging, and if the war carried on, the city would be destroyed, and at that time, the Wei Army's soldiers would suffer great losses. They would have accumulated enmity and would be able to vent it on the citizens of the city and the royals and nobles, and could even massacre the city.

      King, beg and surrender, or the people inside the city will suffer.

      The city is about to fall. If you don't surrender, the civilians and soldiers in the city will die with you.

      Your Majesty, please reconsider!

      Wei Army was simply too fierce. Sixty thousand people attacking the city, a total of two to three hundred thousand soldiers were attacking it, it was not much anymore, it was just too fierce, there was already a sign of pressuring the city, and the city was about to be destroyed.

      Wei Shi Jun was also starting to panic. His face was pale and filled with despair. Under the consolation of all the ministers, he finally made up his mind to beg for forgiveness of death so that he wouldn't be massacred.

      Men, send a message to Wei Hao to meet him in the palace. Prime Minister, be in charge of preparing the submission letter. Wei Shi Jun was depressed, and said helplessly.

      Although they could not guarantee a rank anymore, at least they could avoid death. If they fought to the end, the Wei Army would invade the city and carry out a massacre. Then, they would be buried along with them.

      Furthermore, when the Battle Country turns over its troops, although it has been destroyed, some of the officials of the planner s of the Wei Dynasty can also offer their services to another country, or seek refuge in another country. There is still a possibility for them to reinstate their positions, there is no need to accompany the royal family to their deaths.

      … ….

      At the moment, Wei Hao was patrolling around the city, the four doors were tight, especially at the south gate, where the Wei Jun was the fiercest, constantly sending out elite soldiers to volunteer, all the strong men in the city were being sent to fill up the city to transport the arrows and weapons, a few women and children were also being used to pick up arrows and transport the corpses, all the other jobs were tight, so Wei Hao could be considered to be a good general.

      But the city was still not optimistic, because the Chengyang was not a big city like Pu Yang or morning song. The barrier was not that strong and unbreakable, and as more and more people fought at the top of the city wall, his face became darker and gloomier, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

      A deputy general, Pang Mu, advised, General, I'm afraid the city won't be able to hold on for much longer. We have to think of a way to break out of this encirclement.

      Break out? The court and the king are here. Is there anywhere else to go? Acropolis is about to forget, breaking out of its siege is already meaningless. "

      Sigh, I didn't expect that the Acropolis, which had existed for five or six hundred years, would be destroyed just like that.

      The prosperity of the country is related to the construction of the imperial government. In the past few hundred years, the country only rose once, but the king ignored the government and became more and more abandoned, becoming a second-rate country. It is only a matter of time before it will perish.

      Just as the two were discussing, someone from the palace suddenly passed down the order to summon Wei Hao to the palace for an audience.

      General, why did the king send you back to the palace when the war was in full swing at this critical juncture?

      Wei Hao was also a smart person, after pondering for a while, he understood, his expression changed slightly, and he sighed in his heart, I'm afraid that the king will beg for his life, but I have yet to take revenge for my father, and am not willing to become a slave in this country. I have to see the person who killed my father, Wei Army Lord Chen Ling, swaggering forward like a hero to enter the Chengyang, if I do not take revenge today, I will never have the chance to do so again in the future.

      With that in mind, Wei Hao steeled his heart and said to Pang Mu: "Hurry up and gather all five hundred archers and axes, and hide in the alleys and alleys near the palace. Once the city is broken, the court nobles will leave the palace.

      CHAPTER 702 - COURT AMBUSH

      As expected, the King Wei was looking for him because of a truce to beg for mercy. Even though Wei Hao had a large army in his hands, with the unanimous agreement of the civil and military officials, he was helpless against the situation. After all, he could not change his mind.

      At the very least, in Wei Hao's heart, he did not have that much ambition or political goals. Furthermore, the Acropolis Empire was already at the end of the road, and all of his actions to seize power had become completely meaningless. In the blink of an eye, he was about to be annihilated, and the only thing that made him unwilling was that Chen Ling, his arch enemy, had yet to escape.

      The Wei Shi Jun immediately announced that the guards had stopped their defense and shot arrows out of the city with white flags in their hands. Afterwards, they sent ministers out of the city to discuss the matter with the Wei Army and bring them in.

      Everyone, when the country's luck is at its lowest, there will be a day that the rivers will dry up, and there will be a fixed amount of time. The Wei Kingdom has been established for more than 500 years, and has been passed down from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty for this generation, and has reached the 31st generation of the Solitary King, and other than the Yan Nation, there has not been a single duke of the same age as me. When he said till here, the Wei Shi Jun cried bitterly. In front of the throne, he immediately kneeled down and kowtowed, and towards the outside of the hall, he cried as he thought of his ancestor.

      The king … At this moment, the civil and military ministers also turned pale and knelt down to kowtow. After all, even the most powerful officials would feel inexplicably sorrowful and sorrowful when their emotions were affected.

      After Wei Shi Jun cried and stood up, he began to instruct the people about the begging process. The Prime Minister Wei and the Nine Ministers followed him out of the city with the white silk cloth and surrendered the Imperial Seal. When they discussed the arrangement with the Wei Army Commander, they left Wei Hao in charge of commanding the defending armies of the four cities to prepare to turn in their weapons and take over the Wei Army.

      The disappointment on his face was basically the same as what he had expected, but he was already prepared to kill Cheng Ren, and just as he was about to use this opportunity to surrender, Chen Ling went to the palace, ambushed by the sabremen on both sides to attack, and he would definitely succeed.

      Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion and panic, Not good, South Gate City has been destroyed.

      The Wei Army is attacking the city — —

      Wei Hao was shocked, but he could no longer organize an effective defense. In any case, surrender was just around the corner, and if the city gate was destroyed, then the city gate would be destroyed.

      Men, order the soldiers of the four cities to retreat. The king has given the order to surrender to the State of Wei.

      However, in the recent days of fighting, the soldiers of both sides had been fighting for the past few days. It was difficult for them to stop, because they were filled with hatred, and even after hearing the orders from the guards, a majority of the soldiers were still stubbornly resisting, and did not retreat and surrender.

      However, the news of the guards wanting to surrender had spread outside the city. Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, afraid that he could not proceed with his plan, and immediately shouted out, "Send orders, the north, east and west gates are to quickly take control of the city, and the central army in the south is to attack the palace.

      Understood! The messenger flew out, carrying the flag and passing down the order.

      Chen Ling felt that the time had passed quickly and turned to shout, "Ye Yu, mobilize the personal guards and follow me into the city.

      Yes sir! Ye Yu immediately understood the underlying meaning. At the same time that he mobilized the guards, he also gathered the three hundred special forces sent by the Yan Nation and arranged for them to be at the back of the group. The two thousand troops followed Chen Ling and rushed towards the south gate.

      Kill!

      The south gate was broken, and soldiers like flood beasts rushed into the south gate. After a series of beatings, all the hatred for the loss of their comrades had been completely vented out, and they surrounded some guards who were stubbornly resisting. Some of the guards who had lost their weapons were also killed, scaring the rest of the guards into fleeing into the alleyways inside the city.

      The dilapidated city gates were right in front of them, and the bodies of the soldiers on both sides were in a mess. They had long since stopped breathing. Flames, bloodstains, severed limbs, and the traces of the siege could be seen clearly.

      Chen Ling rode his horse forward, holding onto his sword, he rushed to the front, looking at the many young fiery faces, many Great Wei Army soldiers, even in death, their eyes were still wide open, unable to close.

      This was not the Great Wei Country, but the Acropolis Kingdom. Countless loyal souls would live in foreign lands for a long time. However, this place would soon become the territory of the Wei Country!

      However, Chen Ling was not in the mood to consider these. He could only meticulously consider the situation before him.

      In this street filled with flames and cold arrows, Chen Ling led his two thousand troops and broke through the south gate. He ordered Zheng Xuan to stand still in order to defend the city and prevent the guards from launching a counterattack.

      The shouts of battle continued through the four city gates, and the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard from the streets, along with the noise of the horses and horses.

      When Chen Ling took advantage of the chaos to rush into the palace, his face full of caution. Finally, it was here, his heart stirred, and he roared loudly.

      His loud and clear voice was like a bell that rang in everyone's ears. His presence was majestic and filled with tears and excitement among the soldiers. After a year of war, he had finally broken through the last line of defense of the Acropolis Kingdom.

      At this time, the three hundred Yan Nation's special forces who were mixed in with the pro-soldiers were looking around, waiting for the next step in preparation.

      When Chen Ling and his men arrived at the outskirts of the royal palace, there were already many officials and soldiers gathered at the drill grounds. Prime Minister Wei and the officials of the Nine Ministers were trembling all over with pale faces.

      Where's King Wei?

      Prime Minister Wei and the others did not expect the Wei Army to invade the city so quickly, causing great chaos. They were worried that the Wei Army would massacre the entire city, and said carefully, The Guard King is in the palace, anxious for the royalty to come and beg for shelter.

      Chen Ling thought that the movie was going to be arranged, so he gave Ye Yu a look. The latter understood, and rushed into the palace with hundreds of his personal guards, leaving the real bodyguards at the steps of the king palace, while he brought the three hundred men to the back of the palace, ready to change into their garb. Before coming, everyone carried a bag in their hands and hid a set of the garb.

      Someone, notify the generals Zhou Huaiying, Yang Kuangyi, Shen Zheng and a few other generals to come over and gather the guards. The rest of the troops are in control of the city, they are not allowed to leave their duties!

      Yes sir! The messenger ran off.

      After a long while, the Wei Shi Jun walked out of the king's palace with a few nobles and heirs obediently, they all changed into plain white robes, indicating their intention to surrender. Just as they walked down the stairs, Chen Ling reckoned that it was about time, he entered the palace as well, welcoming Wei Shi Jun and the others to receive the king's begging.

      Suddenly, a burst of cold arrows shot out, striking the twenty odd guards behind Chen Ling, and a group of blade and axe men rushed out from the side hall. The leaders were Wei Hao and Pang Mu.

      CHAPTER 703 - SHEDDING OF CICADA

      Wei Hao, Pang Mu and their troops rushed over, hiding a few hundred guards, all of them were trusted guards of the General Wei's home. They listened to Wei Hao's orders and rushed out, ignoring the current situation, revealing their killing intent, they directly rushed towards Chen Ling and the others who were in the small plaza in front of the palace.

      Due to the sudden change in events, the thousand Wei Army s outside were in the midst of assembling the Imperial Palace's surrounding Imperial Guards. When they heard the sound of fighting coming from within the courtyard, they were all stunned, looking at each other in dismay without knowing what had happened.

      Chen Ling's personal guard captains all drew their swords and rushed towards the palace gate, but there were too many people, the door was not wide, and they all rushed in, it would take some time.

      This scene caused the Wei Shi Jun, the nobles, the concubines, the emperors, and the others to turn ashen as they fled in panic and panic.

      Chen Ling did not expect the King Wei to still have some tricks up his sleeve, preparing some blades, axes, and archers to ambush them. If the Acropolis King and his ministers really had such thoughts, would they still beg for surrender?

      This was a bit strange. Could it be that this general was unwilling to leave the country and had secretly brought people to ambush them here?

      Chen Ling couldn't figure it out for a while, so he decided not to think about it anymore. Once this group of ambushing troops appeared, it would be just right for them to act together with their own team, making it even easier to ambush them.

      When Wei Shi Jun saw the figures of Wei Hao, Pang Mu, and the others, his expression immediately changed. Seeing that he was about to be accepted and surrendered by the Wei Nation, and that this matter had occurred to anger the Wei Army.

      Kill!

      The hundreds of guards who ambushed them were all elites, selected from all directions with the intent to die, they were especially fierce and the guards around Chen Ling could barely hold on. Even normal soldiers could not block it.

      Chen Ling took the opportunity and pretended to hide in the direction of the hall. Because in the plaza between the palace gate and the palace hall, a chaotic battle had already started, and the path of retreat to the palace gate was temporarily cut off, so he could only retreat forward. Amongst the crowd, Wei Hao saw Chen Ling's figure with a fierce look in his eyes, bringing a few sword wielders, as he charged forward with him.

      Chen Ling, hand over your life, we are enemies of a nation, today we will die together with you, without hesitation!

      Wei Hao had trained in the martial arts since young, and also trained in the army, his expression was resolute and full of killing intent, he himself had already reached the realm of Fifth Stage Warriors, his sword techniques wide open and combined, wanting to kill Chen Ling.

      You came at the right time! Chen Ling thought in his heart, and almost burst out laughing, this guy was truly timely. He thought that the Golden Cicada's plan might have some flaws, but at this time, he acted as the scapegoat, because as long as he 'died' here, the Wei Army outside would definitely massacre all of the enemies here. When Wei Hao and the others died, they would have no proof anymore, and the world would believe that Chen Ling died under the ambushes from the guards.

      Chen Ling took out his sword and clashed with Wei Hao, the difference in strength between the two of them was huge, but the former was intentionally hiding his strength, and did not kill Wei Hao in one strike, but dodged to the side, slowly approaching the palace and brought him to the entrance of the palace.

      Dang, dang, dang!

      Wei Hao had not been able to attack for a long time, and was somewhat anxious. After all, the situation was getting more and more unfavorable, and he angrily roared: Chen Ling, you're helping the evil, exterminating our Guardian Empire, killing my father, and your hatred is absolutely irreconcilable. Today, I'm going to die with you.

      Chen Ling laughed coldly, the sword in his hand became even sharper, and instantly suppressed his opponent, killing a few of the Academy Officer s around him. At the same time, he threw out his throwing knife, and signalled to the back of the hall.

      At that moment, Ye Yu led the three hundred special forces in the rear hall to change their clothes, before quietly returning.

      Even Wei Hao was surprised. Since when had there been an ambush with men in the palace? Could it be that it was arranged by the Duke Wei?

      There were more and more Wei Army in the courtyard, but when they saw that their Commander was about to be surrounded, they panicked and started charging to save the Grand Marshal.

      At this time, Zhou Huaiying, Yang Kuangyi, and the others had just arrived at the temporary palace from the other city gates, and upon hearing that the battle was ongoing inside, they were extremely shocked, and immediately rushed over to take a look.

      When the few generals arrived at the entrance, they saw that in front of them, there was a great hall that was tens of metres in length. Commander Chen Ling was currently fighting with a Guardian General, but he had already gained the upper hand and heaved a sigh of relief.

      Quick, save the marshal!

      We can't hurt the marshal, hurry up and kill —

      Upon hearing the shouts from Yang Kuangyi, Shen Zheng and the others, his heart moved, knowing that there were several witnesses, a sneer appeared on his face, his gaze suddenly became as sharp as lightning, staring at Wei Hao who was in battle with him. With a few sword strokes, he pierced through the other party's chest.

      AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

      Wei Hao screamed miserably as the long sword pierced through his chest. A pillar of blood spurted out, and his eyes dimmed, revealing his unwillingness and resentment, but he had still failed. He did not fear death, but it was a pity that he did not take revenge on his national hatred.

      Chen Ling could not be bothered to pay attention to him anymore. At this critical juncture, he kicked away the dying Wei Hao's body, sweeping away the fake guard who was rushing forward with his sword. He revealed his body and stood at the entrance of the hall, waiting for the moment of his death.

      Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

      Suddenly, dozens of cold arrows shot out from the side of the palace hall. Chen Ling did not dodge, he was wearing a layer of armor, and with the special treatment the crossbow arrows went through, the arrowheads were changed, and the cold arrows struck Chen Ling's body, at least on the surface, it looked very real!

      Marshal!

      No, Marshal!

      At that moment, some of the guards were seeing Chen Ling getting hit by the arrow, his body was like a hedgehog, it was extremely miserable, causing people to tremble in fear, their bodies turning cold.

      Under everyone's astonished gaze, Chen Ling's eyes dimmed. He pretended to be in pain and slowly fell to the ground.

      The Great Wei Empire's commander-in-chief is dead! Kill —

      The Yan Nation's special forces were dressed in their guard uniforms, and at this moment, they turned and blocked the Wei Army's approach, because they had to follow the requirements to stop the Wei Army from approaching.

      Many of the Wei Army soldiers were driven mad. Their marshal, the entire army's spiritual support, and the hero of the Great Wei Empire had been shot by cold arrows like a hedgehog. How could they accept that? Their eyes were all red as they roared in grief and indignation. Regardless of the consequences, they all rushed towards the main hall.

      Kill —

      Lances clashed, blood mist billowed, armors broke, miserable screams came out, the plaza erupted into battle yet again, while Ye Yu sent his men to fire the rocket and ignite the palace, in an instant, the palace began to blaze, the red smoke was especially dazzling under the dusk sky.

      At this time, Zhuang Ruoshui snuck in through the window at the back of the hall, and passed a set of martial attire and a disguise to him. Chen Ling quickly put it on, the two looked at each other, laughed, threw away the swords in their hands, and quickly left through the window of the hall. At this time, a large portion of the hall was set ablaze, and there were signs that it was about to collapse.

      CHAPTER 704 - WEI ARMY HAS GONE MAD

      At this moment, Wei Army had gone crazy, because their commander had died, and he was their most respected commander-in-chief, and their most respected hero, the hero of the Great Wei Empire. She was the hope of the Wei Empire's military.

      Hatred! Unreconciled! Heartache! Anger!

      Seeing how the fire was getting bigger, and thinking about how their Commander had been shot to the ground by an arrow, in the next moment, a few more guards rushed into the fire, but were immediately burnt to ashes. Only with this did they stop the others from continuing to charge forward.

      Marshal!

      Marshal! The three armies were moved, their hearts were filled with grief, and their hearts were full of resentment and anger. The hatred was completely vented on the king and nobles of the guardhouse, as well as the innocent soldiers and civilians.

      Take revenge for the marshal!

      Waving their machetes, they started a massacre. As the guards lessened in number, the nobles, concubines, palace maids, eunuchs and the like of the royal family were all massacred to the ground in panic and despair. Even the Wei Shi Jun could not be spared as he was chopped into pieces by the group of guards, turning him into a meat paste.

      The heavens would pity him, for the Wei Shi Jun to end up like this was a kind of injustice, to the point that he did not even know that the previous generation of dukes had been chopped to death by the chaotic army just like that.

      The waved her spear, chasing after the fleeing royal officials. Not long after, those unarmed royal members and officials were completely slaughtered, and the thousands of soldiers surrounding the palace were also massacred by the uncontrollable Wei Army.

      The unforeseen events here attracted more and more generals from the Wei Army. When they learned that their marshal had been shot by random arrows and lost his life in the sea of fire, the three armies cried out in grief and indignation.

      Otherwise, if the King of Wei were to investigate this matter, it would also be a huge disaster. After all, since the Spring and Autumn War, there had been dozens of dukes of all sizes exterminating their entire country, and there had never been a massacre of their entire city before. If such a tragedy happened, the State of Wei would probably fall into a state of war amongst the dukes of the world, and at that time, these generals would all be buried together to atone for their sins.

      In any case, the main culprit, the Wei Shi Jun, the ministers and the warriors of the imperial guards had all been killed, so killing the defenceless civilians was indeed a bit cruel, so they all calmed down and ordered one by one to stop their subordinates, to not act rashly and kill the innocent.

      Shen Zheng, Teng Hu, Liu Yan and the rest were all standing in front of the collapsed bonfire in grief. Suddenly, they knelt down, and the rest of the soldiers kneeled down like them, crying out loud and crying loudly.

      Outside the palace, Zhou Huaiying looked at the black mass of Wei Jun kneeling in the small plaza and sighed in his heart. Who would have thought that Chen Ling would be so popular? Such prestige, she was worthy of being the hero and general of the Wei Dynasty!

      However, Chen Ling who has gone through hundreds of battles, belongs in the past. After returning to Wei, I will become the person that the Young Master Wei truly values. In the future, when I take Chen Ling, in place of him, I will be able to do the same! Zhou Huaiying suddenly thought proudly in his heart.

      Yang Kuangyi and the other generals stood at the entrance of the palace, sighing as they watched this scene. Their hearts were filled with grief, after all, for the past half year, the main commander had been very good to them, and Chen Ling's godly powers and ability to lead made them, the border guards, feel endless respect and admiration.

      It was hard to avoid dying before the battle. In the end, neither the generals nor the heroes were able to escape the fate of having their corpses wrapped up in a horse's hide.

      At this moment, the soldiers who had received the news had gathered over. From a few thousand to a few tens of thousands, they looked at the raging fire and felt a great sense of grief.

      Ten kilometers away from the city, two figures were standing on the foothills of the mountains. Looking at the light of the Chengyang, they sighed lightly.

      He has finally left. In the future, there will no longer be the person known as' Wei Nation's Chen Ling '. A man sighed with emotion.

      Beside him stood a woman. She gently nodded and said, If you choose this way to leave, then before long, the world will be in turmoil!

      Chen Ling laughed: Perhaps, but as for the other dukes, after hearing the news of his death, I think they will be relieved, even if it is Wei Guo, there are still many people who will heave a sigh of relief, actually, he has always been at the top of the storm, the tree and forest, the wind and rain, all this while, he has always walked the thin ice on the official road of Wei Country, and now he can finally relax and return to Yan Nation, and begin his plans for the next step.

      Junior brother … Husband … Are you really going to make the Yan Nation rise up and unify the six nations? "

      Chen Ling looked down at the plains below him. Under the night sky, it was quiet and pitch-black, and a heroic spirit surged: More or less there, someone will definitely accomplish this goal, and rather than giving it to a tyrant, why not I do it myself, so as to prevent the descendants of the Yan Nation from dying. Also, I want to try to change it, and create a dynasty based on my method!

      No matter where you go or what you do, I'll follow you!

      Hehe, that's it, I can't leave you, Senior Sister. Let's go, there's no point in going back to Yan Nation now.

      The guards? Zhuang Ruoshui suddenly asked.

      Chen Ling's expression darkened, and sighed: I think all of them will be annihilated, surrounded by the Wei Army, the chance of survival is too low, once Wei Army sees' Commander 'getting killed, she will not kill so many, I think all the guards in the palace, from the king to the soldiers and palace maids, will be massacred, and if Ye Yu and the others escape, they will return to Yan.

      Actually, before the operation, Chen Ling had already considered this problem. Under the protection of thousands of Wei Army s, when he suddenly launched an attack, even if they cooperated with him to finish the part, they would probably all be surrounded and killed by the Wei Army. After all, the entire Chengyang was in the hands of the Wei Army, so it was impossible for them to escape.

      steeled his heart. With the sacrifice of 300 special forces, he was able to smoothly complete the Golden Cicada's escape plan. It was worth it!

      As for whether or not the news would spread, Chen Ling was not worried, because there were two thousand guards in the palace, if they saw that their master had been killed, they would definitely kill the 'enemy' to vent their anger, and even crazily slaughter the people in the guardhouse. They were not worried about the chance for anyone to rebel and leak the information, and because the three hundred special forces had an extraordinary will, they had long been captured outside of life and death, so they would not reveal these things.

      It will be late April then, and I will still be able to catch up to the Yan Nation in the spring farming. There will be a lot of national affairs to attend to, so this time, the change of methods and the New Deal will continue to progress. I need to go back and carefully review the new order, to prepare for the slaughter in a few years … With that said, the two figures dragged each other for a very long time under the moonlight before quickly disappearing into the night sky.

      CHAPTER 705 - IT IS INEVITABLE THAT THE GENERAL WILL PERISH BEFORE THE BATTLE

      The flames in the palace were extinguished. As the buildings in this period were made of wooden pillars, they were not made of red brick or steel, they were extremely combustible. As long as one looked around, they would be covered in scorched earth and rubble.

      Teng Hu, Shen Zheng and the rest were still unwilling to give up, and brought their own troops to start digging through the rubble. But after an hour of raging fire, the bones underneath the rubble were already burnt to a crisp, their clothes and armor burned to ashes, and their skin and flesh had long been turned to ash.

      It was impossible to tell which one belonged to Marshal Chen. However, under the rubble, there was the sword used by Marshal Chen, as well as the few gold leaves on his armor. They had not melted yet, so it was obvious that it was the inheritance of Marshal Chen.

      When the soldiers saw the marshal's sword that never left him, they all burst into tears. They were almost certain that the marshal had died in the sea of fire.

      Teng Hu, Liu Yan and the others took the Gold Armored Leaf's corpse as the commander's remains. It was understandable, but after searching for other things, they wrapped it up with white silk and put it in the coffin.

      Shen Zheng shouted to the personal guard: The marshal has sacrificed himself for the nation and suffered an ambush, but his heroic deeds and spirit will live with the Great Wei Empire for a long time! We can't let the marshal bury his bones here. We have to escort the marshal's ashes back to the Wei and return his soul to his home …"

      All the soldiers fell into silence.

      It was hard to avoid a general dying before the battle, so it would be best to be honest with him.

      The current army had no leader, and proposed to replace Zhou Huaiying as the vice general. The other generals had no objections, and Zhou Huaiying became the commander of the three armies.

      As the lone army of the Right Army was attacking the Chengyang, in order to avoid any further news, it caused the local guards to resist. As such, they temporarily controlled the news of Chen Ling's death, and waited for the left and centre troops to converge before making it public.

      Within the Chengyang. The Temporary Supervision Residence.

      Haha, I never thought that Chen Ling would use such a godly skill, to actually capsize and lose his life in an ambush, it is truly hilarious. Zhou Huaiying happily said as she drank and danced.

      Inside the Main Hall, there were a few more people who were Zhou Huaiying's trusted aides and direct descendants of the Young Master Wei.

      Wu Ziqiu said: This matter is a little abnormal, if I did not personally see it, it would be really hard to believe, that the usually cautious and brave Chen Ling would actually lose his life here.

      According to the investigation, Wei Ting and the other guards that survived, this matter was entirely planned by Wei Hao, he is the father for revenge, adding the hatred of the extermination of the country, he was unwilling to be a servant of the country, thus he ambushed and assassinated Chen Ling, the evidence is conclusive, haha, the Right Army is already completely in our control.

      That's right. What great hero of the Wei Empire? Using troops like gods, isn't his life still so short! A deputy general mocked.

      Wu Ziqiu sighed in his heart, after all, he had known Chen Ling for two years and they had some sort of relationship, but now that an old friend had died, he could not help but sigh: I have already written the secret letter and sent people to quickly deliver it to Da Liang, and the Young Master Wei will soon know of the news. Once Chen Ling goes, when the Wei Nation loses an arm and a sharp sword, I believe the other marquises will be very happy hearing the news.

      No matter how strong the dead were, they would not be able to live. Only the strong can survive, and he was somewhat disdainful: Chen Ling is arrogant, the lone army had come, and brought a few people with them to the palace, thinking that his Seventh Order Warrior is invincible. Even if he was shot to death by arrows, he would be buried in a sea of fire, and people should not be too arrogant!

      Wu Ziqiu shook his head and laughed bitterly, he did not say another word. He knew that Zhou Huaiying had an opinion towards him, and it could even be said that because of his jealousy, Chen Ling had died. He finally raised his eyebrows and raised his head, no longer needed to be suppressed.

      … ….

      In the blink of an eye, six or seven days had passed. The left and the centre troops had arrived one after another, and upon learning that the Right Army had captured the Chengyang and killed the royal family, they were all shocked and enraged.

      After the two armies defeated the guards at the front lines, they rushed to the Chengyang without stopping, in order to divide the fruits. After the two armies defeated the guards at the front lines, without stopping, they rushed to the Chengyang, in order to divide the fruits.

      Therefore, the generals of both armies pressed their troops against the Chengyang indignantly. If Chen Ling did not give them some credit, this matter would not end!

      The two armies under the command of the new commander, Huan Yan and Lin Jingyu each had their own elite soldiers.

      Just then, the city gates opened, and Zhou Huaiying, Yang Kuangyi and the rest brought their horses out to welcome them.

      Both New Huan Yan and Lin Jingyu did not see Chen Ling's figure and their faces darkened. They inwardly scolded Chen Ling for being too arrogant, even though the middle and left flank troops were rushing over, he did not come out to welcome them, but only sent his assistant general out of the city. He obviously wanted to give them face, no matter how meritorious you were, you can't be so arrogant, right?

      All the generals were furious in their hearts. Lin Jingyu frowned and shouted, Why, are General Chen not willing to leave the city to welcome us?

      With his provocation, the two army generals outside the city immediately gathered together. They all harbored hatred towards Chen Ling.

      Zhou Huaiying rode up to them and cupped his fists as he smiled bitterly: New Marshal, Lin Shuai and the other generals have all misunderstood, Marshal Chen Ling is …. He's dead.

      Hmph, no matter how busy he is … Lin Jingyu subconsciously thought about what to say. No matter if the other party was trying to find excuses, he would still immediately refute, and force Chen Ling to the opposing sides. But just as he retorted, he suddenly noticed something and exclaimed, What did you say? Who was killed? Chen Ling?

      A few days ago, the Chengyang was destroyed, and the Wei Shi Jun led a group of officials to beg for mercy. Who knew that the military general Wei Hao, due to the hatred from the nation, would set up an ambush in the palace, and that Marshal Chen, who had been shot by dozens of arrows, had been buried in a sea of fire …

      This news was too shocking, the two armies of nearly one hundred generals were all stunned.

      The famous hero of the Great Wei Empire died a few days ago?

      Chen Ling, who had been the talk of the town for the past two years, had the momentum of overtaking the elites of the other six nations, dying in battle just like that?

      Silence! Silence! They were all digesting this news.

      General Zhou, are you joking? As the Chief General of the Wei Country, New Huan Yan was highly regarded by the Prince of Wei. Furthermore, he held a high position in the military.

      There is nothing ridiculous in the military. This matter is absolutely true. All the warriors of the Right Army can testify to this. Zhou Huaiying replied seriously.

      It was obvious that they were secretly rejoicing in their hearts, they were the direct descendants of the Crown Prince, and in this expedition, they had the intention of competing against the Young Master Wei's faction, but now that they heard the biggest obstacle, Chen Ling, had died, without a doubt, when they cut off one of the arms of the Young Master Wei, the Crown Prince's faction would be able to emerge victorious, and they would be able to do so within a few days.

      The two new commander-in-chiefs, Huan Yan and Lin Jingyu, were separated by a few dozen meters. They looked at each other, obviously digesting this news, but in reality, it was too unexpected.

      CHAPTER 706 - HEAVY MESSAGE

      The news of Chen Ling's death spread far and wide, and the first thing it did was to report back to Wei Gongzi Residence Dazhou.

      Wei Yu held onto the secret letter written by Wu Ziqiu himself and sat in his study room, reading it. His entire body suddenly felt a chill, he knew of Chen Ling's talent and ability, and it was not easy to recruit him back, he was prepared to support him in the next few years, and when Chen Ling stands firm in the army and becomes a warlord general, he would be his greatest trump card.

      At that time, before King Wei abdicated, Wei Yu would be able to rely on his military power and
