Chapter 491 Backstab
For Chen Sheng, now is the best time to cross over from a commoner to a noble. The entire Chen family has been waiting for this opportunity for more than five thousand years.
Now that Dayu Kingdom is in turmoil and caught in civil strife, it is the best time for the Chen family. If this opportunity is missed, the Chen family does not know how many more years they will have to wait.
Chen Sheng looked at Zhang Liang with his eyes full of pleading: "Sir, if you can help me, Chen Sheng, win the Dayu Kingdom, I will worship you with the whole country, gather incense and faith for him, and survive the disaster of the Dharma Realm." Zhang Liang said leisurely. Sigh: "The troops are already approaching the city, do I still have a choice?"
"The mobilization of the army in the rear will all depend on sir." Chen Sheng stared at Zhang Liang with his eyes.
"But I still want someone from the general. As long as this person is here, no matter how difficult the situation is, I will be sure to open up a way out for the general." Zhang Liang said.
"Who?" Chen Sheng asked in surprise, is there such a capable person in the army? How come you don’t know?
"Han Xin." Zhang Liang said.
"Han Xin?" Chen Sheng was stunned. Of course, Han Xin knew that he had shown his prominence many times in recent battles. He could be said to be invincible and invincible.
He also personally awarded the opponent a flag, which qualified the opponent to lead an army. He had gathered an army of 200,000 people under his command, which had already taken shape.
"Okay, I'll leave it to your disposal, sir." Chen Sheng replied. Turning his head to look at the city gate that was wide open, Chen Sheng had a fierce look in his eyes: "Enter it for me! Attack it for me! When the thing is done, he will be crowned king and prime minister, and he will step into the ranks of nobles." Chen Sheng encouraged the rebels. , the troops under his command rushed to kill, but he led the civilian army that had become a climate, standing motionless in the crowd.
He was waiting for an opportunity and testing the situation in the city. Although he believed that his uncle would not harm him, as a general leading the army, he certainly had no reason to charge into battle alone.
At this time, the city had become a meat grinding ground. The elites of the Xiang family were dressed in armor and had long knives in their hands. The flood of refugees seemed to have encountered a rock and fell at the feet of the Xiang family's children.
The Xiang family's children were expressionless, with bloodthirsty light in their eyes. What is awakened in the Xiang family is the bloodline of the giant spirit god. They are born with magical powers related to force. Each one of them can be said to be infinitely powerful.
At this time, the rebel army faced the Xiang family's children, just like harvesting wheat, they fell to the ground with blood flowing into rivers. The cry of killing rose into the sky. Xiang Zhuang stood in a tower on the top of the city. He stared at Chen Sheng who was riding a horse outside the city gate and the motionless formation of millions behind him. He couldn't help but frown: "No. It’s so right, then why is Chen Sheng sitting on the horse without any movement?”
"Perhaps you are hesitating?" The elder of the Chen family trembled and hurriedly explained: "Sir, we definitely did not pass on any information." Xiang Zhuang looked at Chen Sheng on the horse and thought thoughtfully: "As expected of being able to The cautious person who is leading the rebellion is worth learning from. If he doesn’t want to get involved, then I’ll force him to get involved!”
"Send the order and ask the Xiang family's children to go out and start fighting for the city gate. I want to see if he will go out." Xiang Zhuang's eyes were full of sarcasm.
After giving the order, there were shouts of killing in the city soon. Hundreds of Xiang family members rushed out wearing armor and began to attack the mob, actively approaching the city gate.
The city gate is only that wide, and hundreds of Xiang family members are enough to hold the line and prevent the refugees from rushing past.
Moreover, facing the butcher knives raised high by the children of the Xiang family, the refugees were like little chickens with no resistance at all and fell to the ground like straw.
The rebel army and the refugees were afraid of being killed, and wanted to retreat, but the rebel army in the rear was like a tide, pushing the army in front to keep rushing forward. The rebel army in front had no chance to retreat, so they could only go forward helplessly. The boy's butcher's knife hit him, and he watched helplessly as he fell under the butcher's knife.
Hundreds of Xiang family members were like an iron wall, with the huge power within their bodies constantly forcing the refugees to retreat.
"The Xiang family's reinforcements have arrived, everyone, hold on! Everyone, hold on!" The elders of the Chen family stood under the city gate and shouted loudly.
But facing the Xiang family's iron walls, the refugees were still being pushed out. Chen Sheng from the rear camp raised his eyebrows: "The Xiang family reacted quickly. They just opened the city gate and within less than a stick of incense, the other party started to make up for it."
"Bang the drum, I, the general, will personally go out and seize the east gate." Chen Sheng ordered.
"General, be careful of fraud and don't take risks." The guard warned.
"When I saw the children of the Xiang family, I knew there was no fraud. And...even if the other party was really cheating, could I still watch the opened east door close again?" Chen Sheng shook his head.
From the moment the east gate opened, everything was doomed. He, Chen Sheng, could never watch the city gate that had finally been opened close again. Even if there were countless dangers, he had no choice.
From Daze Township to the capital of Dayu Kingdom, does he still have a way out?
"Kill!" Chen Sheng had no expression on his face and suddenly rode off towards the city gate to kill him. Countless refugees were trampled as the horses passed by, but Chen Sheng turned a blind eye and directly trampled on the refugees, crossed the gap in the city gate, and entered the city gate.
Looking at the hundreds of Xiang family guards wearing golden armor, Chen Sheng shrank and said, "Masters, they are all masters." The next moment, Chen Sheng took out a long knife in his hand and directly pierced the golden armor of a Xiang family member.
Then Chen Sheng grabbed the sword of the guard on the side, jumped up and rushed over: "Kill!" Behind him, a million troops followed closely. These were not ordinary refugees, but Chen Sheng brought from Daze Township, following him Fighting all the way to the north and south, they have been trained by countless iron-blooded elites.
Although these people do not have martial arts skills, they are all brave and fearless of death. When combined, they will not be defeated even if they face strong martial arts masters.
No matter how advanced a martial artist is, he will still die if someone cuts him with a knife. Even if you have developed magical powers, how many times can the divine blood in your body support you in using your magical powers?
How many people can you kill? He, Chen Sheng, has at least 20 million rioters. As long as the rioters are brave and not afraid of death, even a strong man with supernatural powers who falls into them will only be hacked to death with random knives.
However, the children of the Xiang family are not ordinary warriors, but monsters who are armed to the point of being airtight and powerful.
The most important thing is that the children of the Xiang family know how to cooperate. Although the military formation has not yet been formed, it is still not something that ordinary elites can shake.
What Chen Sheng had to do was break the formation. As long as they break through the formation of the Xiang family warriors, no matter how powerful those Xiang family warriors are, they will only be drowned in the sea of people.
As long as one's cultivation is not to the point where one can transcend mountains and seas and master the heavens and the earth, he will not be able to face the advantage of numbers.
Outside the city, Zhang Liang stood behind the camp, passing military orders one by one in his hand, but his eyes became more and more solemn.
"It's difficult." Zhang Liang shrank: "I always feel that something is not good." Zhang Liang inherited Jiang Taigong's inheritance. It can be said that military formations and divination are both top-notch in the world. The point where the cicada wakes up before it moves.
Although the rebels had the upper hand at this time, Zhang Liang's bad premonition became more serious.
"Commander, you called me?" Han Xin came behind Zhang Liang.
"You came just in time." Zhang Liang looked at Han Xin with unbearable admiration in his eyes: "In recent days, you have been very outstanding, and the commander-in-chief has noticed it. As long as the Dayu Kingdom is captured, a marquis's Seats are indispensable.”
"Do you have a master? I see that you have a lot of tactics in arranging troops, and the way you use the troops is like an antelope hanging its horns. It seems that it comes from the inheritance of military strategists." Zhang Liang looked at Han Xin.
"Reporting to the military advisor, I'm just a grassroots person. I don't have any mentors. I'm just thinking about it on my own." Han Xin raised his hand and saluted.
He would not tell Cui Yu, especially Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Stratagems, and he would never reveal even a word of absolute secrets.
The power of Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies lies not in the art of war itself, but in its ideas.
That thought surpassed all the military saints in the world, and made Han Xin know how precious this art of war is.
He even had an ambition in his heart that this art of war could serve as a chance for him to become a saint. With the help of these two tactics of war, his path to sainthood has been laid.
He believed in the holy way and had hope. Zhang Liang glanced at Han Xin meaningfully, who is he? How could the descendant of Taigong be fooled by Han Xin's few words?
Han Xin's art of war is quite systematic and cannot be figured out by one person. However, it was not revealed.
Since Han Xin can just be used by himself under his command, why bother to investigate the origin of the other party?
"What do you think of this battle?" Zhang Liang asked. He quite trusted Han Xin's ability to command troops, otherwise he would not have felt uneasy and came to ask Han Xin.
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Han Xin pondered for a moment before speaking: "I'm afraid it's a tough nut to crack, so the general needs to make preparations in advance."
"How do you say it?" Zhang Liang asked.
"The Dayu Kingdom has been in existence for five thousand years. The wealth of the entire Dayu Kingdom has been gathered in the Dayu royal family. The Xiang family will use these materials to cultivate many masters." Han Xin said: "Although the city gate is open, Xiang The counterattack of the Xiang family has just begun. The arrival of the general may help Xiang Shaolong to completely integrate the power of the Xiang family, so that he can completely secure the throne. In the chaos, the children of the Xiang family will definitely With the same hatred and hatred, Xiang Shaolong still needs to thank the general." The two were talking when suddenly a miserable call came from the front: "General!!" Zhang Liang and Han Xin rushed towards the city gate. Looking over, the next moment I saw an eye-splitting scene.
At the city gate, Chen Sheng seemed to turn into light. As his figure erratic, the Xiang family's golden-armored warrior had been knocked away, spurting blood in the air.
Hundreds of Xiang family warriors were defeated without any resistance when facing Chen Sheng.
"Kill!" Chen Sheng fell back on his horse and shouted like thunder. Countless rebels poured in from outside the city and ran towards the city gate, running straight towards the shops and people's homes on both sides.
Steal women! Grab rice! Grab the treasure! This is the uncontrollable part of the rebel army. Once they gain the upper hand, they will lose control. Even if Chen Sheng is a general, it is difficult to control the red-eyed rebels.
"Sheng'er, run! Run!" At this moment, a middle-aged man ran against the crowd and shouted while running, attracting Chen Sheng's attention.
"Third uncle?" Chen Sheng's eyes were full of fear when he saw the man running in the dark night, as if he had encountered something extremely terrible, and there seemed to be a tiger beast chasing him behind him.
Now that he has captured the East City Gate, the situation is very good. He is about to capture the capital of Dayu. The capital of Dayu has changed hands and the Chen family has become the new generation overlord of this land. Why does it seem that his third uncle has been chased away by a tiger? Same.
Still telling yourself to run? Why run?
"This is a trap, run quickly! Run quickly!" Uncle San shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Whoosh~" At this moment, there was a sound in the air, and his third uncle was hit by an arrow in the back. He fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Looking at Chen Sheng who was sitting on the horse in a daze and seemed to have not recovered, the third uncle shouted anxiously: "Run! This is all a trap!"
"Trap?" Chen Sheng was stunned. Before he could figure it out, there was a sudden loud noise behind him, and he saw a mechanism ejected from the city gate behind him. The city gate that he rushed to open was closed tightly with a bang.
Then countless golden armors appeared at the top of the city, forming a military formation, suppressing the void and suppressing Chen Sheng at the city gate.
He turned around and saw the elder of the Chen family who had helped him open the city gate before. At this time, he was looking at him with a guilty face and a complicated expression.
Looking at the countless golden armors and the third uncle lying in a pool of blood, Chen Sheng's brain roared, he rose into the air and landed next to his third uncle, grabbing him and holding him in his arms.
"Hurry...run...run..." Blood spurted from the third uncle's mouth and wet Chen Sheng's clothes.
"What happened?" Chen Sheng looked at his third uncle who was bleeding and the Chen family members who closed the city gate not far away, cutting off his retreat. Chen Sheng's eyes were full of disbelief.
Unfortunately, Chen Sheng was not given a chance to figure it out. Xiang Shaolong had already appeared at the top of the city: "Chen Sheng, surrender. King Gu sees that you are a talent. As long as you surrender, I will give you a way to survive. Otherwise, I can only send you away." Went to the underworld."
"Xiang Shaolong? Is this all your fault?" Chen Sheng looked at Xiang Shaolong, who was wearing golden armor, and gritted his teeth with hatred, then turned to look at the Chen family members: "Why? I worked so hard for the Chen family, Why did you betray me?" In the entire Chen family, only my third uncle is the best to me.
"Don't worry, our man won't die here. I will definitely take you out." Chen Sheng hugged his third uncle and slowly stood up straight, his eyes full of ferocity.
But now he still has a doubt, that is why? Why would the Chen family betray themselves?
"Don't say it anymore, success is king and defeat is bandit, that's all." Xiang Shaolong sighed softly.
"Pfft~" At this moment, Chen Sheng felt a pain in his chest. His third uncle, who had suffered a serious injury, took out a knife at some point and pierced Chen Sheng's heart.
