Chapter 215 Chu Zhao Takes Action
Chu Zhao drank one cup after another, and everyone around him could smell a faint scent of medicine.

Obviously, this is medicinal wine.

This is the wine he and Gu Chen developed through the art of medicine man. It can temporarily enhance physical strength, improve martial arts skills, and make people tireless, but it will not cause people to completely lose their minds like the art of medicine man.

Of course, this is just an ideal state, and its effectiveness remains to be verified.

Because this medicinal wine was just made not long ago, he is now the first guinea pig.

At this time, the top of Langya City had completely turned into a purgatory on earth, as if a ferocious beast invisible to the naked eye was living in the city wall, baring its fangs and constantly devouring living lives.

Although the soldiers on the city wall had the best terrain, there were too many Beili soldiers and their attack was very fierce, so more and more Beili soldiers climbed up to the top of the city wall.

Although the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition Army fought desperately, they were still no match for the enemy's larger numbers, and many lives were lost forever on the city walls.

"Huhuhu..."

As a rare and brave soldier in the Eastern Expedition Army, Zang Chengqi's breathing had become very rapid.

This was not surprising. After all, he had been holding the front line for a full half hour and had killed or chopped down at least forty or fifty Beili soldiers.

Compared with the 300,000 troops of Beili attacking the city today, forty or fifty people sounds really pitifully small, but this number is definitely enough to show off to others.

After all, for many retired soldiers, the number of enemies they killed in their entire lives combined might not be as many as Zang Chengqi killed in this one battle.

But it is undeniable that he is now almost at his limit.

After all, he is not a martial arts master, but just an ordinary soldier who relies on his good physical strength and power.

At this moment, he felt that the iron shield in his left hand was as heavy as a mountain, and the sword in his right hand was heavier than a thousand pounds, and he couldn't lift it at all.

However, those Beili soldiers seemed to be endless and continued to climb up from the bottom of the city wall.

Just then, another Beili soldier climbed up right in front of Zang Chengqi.

At this moment, only two thoughts flashed through his mind: push him off the city wall with his shield, or chop off his head with a knife.

Unfortunately, although the thought was conveyed to his arms, they felt as if they were filled with lead. They felt numb and weak and he couldn't lift them up at all.

"Oops!"

Just when he was secretly thinking that something was wrong, the other party had already pounced on him.

Zang Chengqi reacted instantly and tried to raise his shield to block in front of him, but he still had no strength.

The Beili soldier kicked him to the ground and slashed him with his sword. He knew he was dead.

For a moment, countless images flashed through my mind.

There was pain from being beaten, but also laughter with comrades...

He is from the Central Plains, whether he is from Western Chu, Beili, or Nanjue...

Zang Chengqi didn't know because his parents who were captured as slaves of Xihu never told him, and his parents died when he was very young.

He was actually a slave raised by the Western Hu people. The life of a slave was naturally not good, but it was not bad either. After all, most of the Western Hu people were pretty good.

Just as Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun said, the northern barbarians are actually not as bad as the people in the Central Plains imagine, and most of them are still very kind.

At least when there were no natural disasters and life was still bearable, they would not burn, kill and loot the Central Plains.

The situation of the Western Hu is similar to that of the Northern Barbarians.

Three years ago, Chu Zhao led his troops to attack Xihu and he was rescued.

Many Central Plains slaves like him became ordinary people of Western Chu. In fact, he could have been an ordinary citizen, but when he was in Western Hu, he was a slave soldier who knew nothing except fighting with others, so he finally chose to stay in the army. However, he changed from a slave soldier of the Western Hu tribe to a regular army of Western Chu, and his treatment increased sharply.

They have land and salaries, and in addition, they receive rewards for fighting in wars... I can't say that they drink and eat meat every meal, but it's okay to have some meat every three to five days.

But he was alone, and he didn't like the place where he was allocated land, so he sold the land to his friends in the army in exchange for money, and planned to settle down in Yuelu City in the future, and live the ordinary, simple and happy life that Your Majesty has mentioned, with a wife, children and a warm bed.

Unfortunately, all this is no longer possible.

I have lived for twenty years and have never tasted a woman. If I had known this, I should have followed those guys to a brothel two years ago.

Zang Chengqi never regretted joining the Western Chu army, nor did he regret becoming a Western Chu citizen, because becoming a Western Chu citizen was the happiest three years of his life.

His only regret was that he was still a virgin when he died!

Just as Zang Chengqi was facing the situation calmly, he saw a flash of sword light, and a sharp sword seemed to fall from the sky, cutting off the head of the Beili soldier. The head, with a smile and cruel look on the face, flew out from in front of him, and the hot blood splattered all over his face.

"Are you okay?"

Hmm? A woman's voice...

Zang Chengqi raised his head and looked at the woman who saved him. She was about twenty years old, wearing a blood-stained white dress, but still like a fairy. Her face looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

"Thank you!" Seeing the other party stretching out his hand, he took the other party's hand and stood up. His face couldn't help but turn red, but the blood sprayed all over his face made it completely invisible.

At this time, the woman pointed to the inside of the city wall and said, "It's time to change guards. You can go down!"

Zang Chengqi subconsciously looked around, only to find that his comrades who had just fought together in a bloody battle were replaced by some soldiers without bloodstains on their bodies.

He suddenly understood.

Rotating soldiers on the battlefield is to give them time to rest, and such repeated alternation not only allows everyone to maintain a minimum of physical strength to fight, but also reduces casualties as much as possible. This is a way of fighting invented by their Majesty, but it was not used very often in the past, and it was only used in extremely severe situations. He had only seen it once in the more than two years of fighting with Beili.

"Girl, be careful. The Beili soldiers attacking the city today are different from the ones we usually encounter." Zang Chengqi lowered his head shyly and warned in a low voice.

The woman nodded and praised with a smile: "One person can block a gap of ten feet, amazing!"

Zang Chengqi chuckled and wiped the blood off his face with his hand, but he didn't want to hurt his injured wound. He grimaced in pain and ran down the city along the stairs on the inside of the city wall.

When he was leaving the city, he couldn't help but look back and saw that his comrades who had just fought bravely were leaving the city wall one after another, and their positions were taken over by comrades who had just climbed up the city wall.

He also saw the woman who had saved him before taking over his position, and there she was chopping down the enemy soldiers who were climbing up like chopping melons and vegetables.

In the cold wind, blood splattered and the cloak fluttered. The red word "gamble" embroidered on the cloak was particularly eye-catching.

After getting down from the city wall, Zang Chengqi found his friends in the army and discovered that they were all lucky to be alive and none of them had any missing limbs. He grinned with relief.

Then, he felt aches all over his body, as if all his bones were aching. With a snap, he fell on his back.

This scene frightened the few people who were resting so much that they quickly got up from the ground and rushed towards him.

"It's okay, it's okay. Look how scared you are. I'll just rest for a while." Zang Chengqi waved his hands breathlessly, then lay on the ground with his back facing the sky, gasping for breath.

"Xiao Qi, are you injured?" A middle-aged man noticed the wound on his arm and shouted quickly, "Medic, someone is injured here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a medical soldier came running over with things, checked the injuries, handed them ointment and gauze, and asked them to bandage them themselves and go save other people.

"I heard that the ointment made by Mr. Gu and the Wen family is very effective. It can stop bleeding quickly after applying it. We didn't have a chance to use it, so you used it first." The middle-aged man joked while helping him treat his injuries.

Zang Chengqi followed with a smile and asked, "Uncle, do you know that there is a very beautiful girl in the army who has a gambling word on her robe?"

"Betting, it must be the Imperial Concubine. How come you met her?"

"It turned out to be the Imperial Concubine." Zang Chengqi murmured, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I almost died just now, and it was the Imperial Concubine who saved me."

As soon as this was said, a soldier of the same age laughed and said, "I almost died just now, but it was the Queen who saved me."

They had heard before that the Empress and the Imperial Concubine had personally been to the battlefield. It’s not that they didn’t believe it, but they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, so they were somewhat skeptical. Now… they can only say that I am a Western Chu person, and I am proud of it!
Zang Chengqi laughed and said, "You don't know. I thought I was dead. My only regret was that I hadn't gotten married and had children yet. But then the Imperial Concubine appeared like a fairy descending from the earth and chopped off her head with one sword."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment: "Is this what you want before you die?"

Zang Chengqi hummed, "If I can survive this battle, uncle, can you help me find a wife?"

"So you're thinking about women."

The middle-aged man laughed without any image, and the others followed suit. In addition to them, the soldiers who were resting nearby also laughed when they heard the conversation between them.

To be fair, is this funny?
It's funny, but not enough to make everyone laugh so hard.

In the final analysis, they were not actually smiling at Zang Chengqi, but at the smiles of surviving a calamity, happy that they had managed to hold out until the change of guard and walked down the city wall alive.

It was the joy of surviving the dangerous battlefield where they were almost dead that made them laugh heartily. Of course, some soldiers also laughed and shed tears of joy.

These people really need an opportunity to vent their complex emotions.

But after laughing for a while, the joy lingering between them gradually faded, because they knew very well that after they rested for a while, they would have to go to the top of the city wall to replace their comrades who were fighting bloody battles on the top of the city wall.

Thinking of this, their hearts grew heavy, and gradually, everyone became silent, without any of the joy they had just felt when they walked down the city wall alive.

At this time, a group of soldiers and women came over pulling a cart with steaming food in it.

The tempting aroma wafted out, making the soldiers who had experienced a bloody battle swallow their saliva.

"Is there wine?"

A soldier who had received food suddenly cried out in surprise, instantly making the surroundings noisy.

Soldiers all like to have a drink, but the military discipline of Western Chu is very strict. No matter how much you drink at ordinary times, as long as there is a war, you are not allowed to drink a drop of alcohol.

"His Majesty said that today is special. Drinking a little can calm you down, and being a little drunk can make it easier for you to realize your potential. But it is only limited to today. Also... you are not allowed to use alcohol to cause trouble. You all know the military rules and regulations. Anyone who dares to use alcohol to cause trouble will be killed... I forgot his majesty's exact words, but this is what he meant!" The captain who led the distribution of food and wine shouted loudly.

Zang Chengqi took the wine and food and began to eat and drink.

Suddenly, he noticed a young soldier standing next to him staring blankly at the food and drinks. He knew at a glance that he was a new soldier. He said gently, "At this time, even if you have no appetite and can't eat, you have to force yourself to swallow it, because you don't know when the next meal will be."

Zang Chengqi said, taking a bite of the biscuit in his hand, and then solemnly said: "Only when we have a full stomach can we have the strength to kill the enemy. Only by killing the enemy can we survive. Do you understand, rookie!"

"I'm not a rookie!" the young soldier retorted with his neck stiff.

Is it true that he, who has been hanging out in the Western Hu slave camp since he was a child, can’t see it?
Zang Chengqi ignored the other party and continued eating and drinking.

The other party was just as Zang Chengqi had guessed, a new recruit who had just joined the army. Because of the previous killing, he felt nauseous when he saw the food and had no appetite at all. However, after listening to Zang Chengqi's words, he still forced himself to swallow the distributed food and wine.

Everything is to survive this battle.

After eating and drinking, everyone rested in silence. No one was laughing or joking and wasting energy, because they knew that it would not be long before they would step onto the city wall again and fight with those Beili soldiers.

At this time, outside the city wall.

Two figures suddenly leaped up, and two sharp sword energies, one in front and one behind, rushed straight towards Yin Luoxia and Yue Yao who were fighting hard.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chu Zhao's eyes.

If he remembered correctly, he only asked Xiao Xie to send out a master from the Xiaoyaotian realm.

That’s right, the reason why Chu Zhao was sure that Beili would let Xiaoyao Tianjing take action was because he had a deal with Xiao Xie.

He cannot break the contract, but that does not mean he cannot make the other party break the contract.

In fact, he was able to conquer Langya City not only because of the advantages of weapons, tactics, human support, etc., but also thanks to Xiao Xie.

Of course, Xiao Xie did not lose out either. With his advice and help, the King of Qing, who once had nothing, now has an army of more than 100,000 under his command and has every chance to compete for the throne of Beili.

Chu Zhao was not worried about the appearance of a master from the Free Heaven Realm. After all, Yue Yao and Yin Luoxia were both guarded by someone, so he just glanced at them, put down his wine glass, and ordered the guards beside him, "Fire the signal gun."

boom!
The red flare with a tail flame exploded in the sky.

Under the city wall of Langya City, figures immediately jumped onto the top of the city wall.

These people are all masters of the Free Heaven Realm, some are from Dark River, some are from Shadow Tower, some are from the Wen family, and some are from the Blood Robe Guards...

A total of thirty people, all of whom were temporarily transferred by Chu Zhao to deal with this war.

Wuzuoshi... No, now it should be said that Zhuge Liufeng, the deputy military advisor of Xichu, said, "Your Majesty, has the expert of Xiaoyaotian Realm from Beili taken action?"

Chu Zhao hummed and said in a deep voice: "Beili broke the agreement first, so we don't have to abide by it. Kill them all!"

After saying that, Chu Zhao was the first to fly down from the city wall.

The others followed suit, jumped off the city wall, and rushed into the torrent of the Beili army.

Only the wine warmer did not move, holding the wine jug, as if he was lost in thought...

Beili's two Xiaoyao Tianjing masters suddenly attacked. He definitely didn't believe that there was no foul play involved.

You know, a group of Beili's Xiaoyao Tianjing were killed by Chu Zhao. Although there are still many, the Beili court can mobilize not many, and there are even fewer who are willing to follow the Zhenxi Army. I'm afraid they are not enough for Chu Zhao to warm up.

As the commander of the Zhenxi Army, Xiao Ruofeng sent masters from the Xiaoyaotian Realm to take action.

Moreover, with Xiao Ruofeng's meticulousness, it is impossible that he had not checked the Xiaoyao Tianjing masters he brought with him.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for those people to collude with Chu Zhao.

and many more!

If the big shot in Beili...

Interesting, really interesting, Beili’s defeat was not unfair!
Thinking of this, he smiled while warming the pot of wine, then took a sip of the wine before leisurely jumping off the top of the city wall.

There are a total of thirty masters from the Xiaoyaotian realm, and the weakest is at the Fuyao realm. To ordinary soldiers, they are no different from human cannonballs, and one move can take away a large group of people.

Among them, Chu Zhao was like a nuclear bomb dropped into the battlefield.

The sword was like a swimming dragon, the sword light was dazzling, the sword energy was huge, and as the sword energy moved, countless Beili soldiers' blood gushed out, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere.

Killing someone is not difficult.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that one sword can break ten thousand armors, but every time he strikes, he can take away hundreds of lives.

He was like a mainstay in the torrent, and with his sword he carved out a large vacant area.

Chu Zhao was covered in blood, and he had turned into a bloody man, like a devil crawling out of hell, terrifying and frightening.

For a moment, the soldiers who had been rushing towards Langya City like a tide either turned around and ran, or changed direction and advanced from other battlefields.

This caused the originally orderly advancing formation to become chaotic. Many people did not die under Chu Zhao's sword, but were instead killed by the trampling of the advancing team...

At the same time, on the high slope just east of Langya City, under the flag of the Zhenxi Army fluttering in the wind, a team of hundreds of people were quietly watching the siege, watching Chu Zhao wreak havoc among their army.

Many people have never seen the spectacular scene of the two immortal Confucianists and swordsmen of Western Chu fighting against the Baili family's Pofeng Army on the city wall of Lausang, the capital of Western Chu. It is considered a great regret in life.

Especially for a swordsman, it is a regret among regrets.

Today, Chu Zhao blocked the torrent of troops with just his sword, and the degree of shocking it was even more than that of the past. It made up for their regrets, but they just couldn't be happy.

The generals who were leading the group all had solemn expressions on their faces, and among them, Xiao Ruofeng looked extremely ugly.

"Why, why would Xi Chu's Xiaoyao Tianjing take action, why would Chu Zhao take action?"

"Your Highness, we have an army of 300,000. No matter how strong Chu Zhao is, he is still a human being. Humans get tired when they get tired. Our army of 300,000 can wear him down to death."

Xiao Ruofeng turned his head abruptly, looked at the general who had spoken, and said angrily: "It was you who sent the Free and Easy Heaven Realm expert, right? Otherwise, based on my understanding of Chu Zhao, he would not openly break the contract and lead the team to the battlefield in person. What on earth did you do?!"

"Your Highness, you are wrongly accusing me. How can I mobilize the masters of Xiaoyao Tianjing?"

Xiao Ruofeng snorted coldly: "General Chen, don't think that I don't know what you are doing. After this battle, I will report to my father. Second brother will never be able to sit in that position."

General Chen looked extremely aggrieved: "Your Highness, you have wronged me. The world can bear witness to my loyalty to Your Majesty and the court!"

Xiao Ruofeng was too lazy to talk to him and rushed down on his horse...
