Chapter 63 Farce
Outside Yufeng City, a man with disheveled hair, bright red battle armor, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, constant roars, and a hurried expression rushed straight into the center of the Xuanfeng Dynasty's 700,000-strong army.
"The commander-in-chief has issued an urgent order, all generals, please get out of the way. I want to see Zhang Tian!"
This person is none other than Xuan Er, who rushed frantically to give the order for reinforcements.
As soon as the soldiers heard the commander's urgent order, they all consciously made way for Xuan'er to get to Zhang Tian as soon as possible.
"Zhang Tian, the commander-in-chief has issued an urgent order, ordering you to immediately lead the army back to the camp for rescue."
When he reached Zhang Tian's side, Xuan'er shouted in a deep voice.
"Haha, Xuan'er? Are you today too? Didn't you rely on your handsome adoptive father to take over my position as the commander of the Royal Guards? What? Now the Royal Guards are in danger and I, Zhang Tian, need to rescue them?
"
Not only did Zhang Tianfei show no sense of urgency, but he laughed loudly and ridiculed Xuan Er.
Who is Zhang Tian? The legitimate son of the Zhang family of the Xuanfeng Dynasty, his father is Zhang Xinyang, the current prime minister of the Xuanfeng Dynasty.
His grandfather, Zhang Chenhai, was a martial arts wizard. It was widely rumored that Zhang Chenhai had already reached the advanced level of becoming a god.
This shows how prominent Zhang Tian's family background is, and Zhang Tian himself is a master of the second level of god transformation. He can be said to be a famous son, and he has not lost the reputation of his ancestors.
But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Tiancai hates Xuan'er even more.
In terms of strength, Xuan'er is only at the first level of divine transformation, which is a small level lower than him;
In terms of family background, Xuan'er just recognized a foster father. In the final analysis, he was born as a commoner and was far inferior to Zhang Tian.
However, as soon as such a person who was inferior to him appeared, he replaced him as the commander of the Royal Guards, and instead made him the commander-in-chief of the 700,000 ordinary army.
In Zhang Tian's opinion, this is simply a huge irony!
It was an insult to Zhang Tian and his Zhang family!
Therefore, when Zhang Tiancai heard that the Royal Guards were in danger, he was not surprised but overjoyed.
"Zhang Tian, now is not the time to care about our personal grievances. Li Mu has led 150,000 cavalry to attack the camp, and 300,000 royal guards are in danger. Please quickly send troops back to support!"
Xuan'er tried to slow down his tone and spoke with a hint of pleading.
For the safety of the 300,000 royal guards, and for the reputation of his adoptive father Xuan Xueyun I not to be damaged in this battle! Xuan'er doesn't mind putting down his face and showing mercy to Zhang Tian once.
"Haha, you want me to go back and rescue you, please beg me! Kneel down and beg me! What? You don't want to kneel down? Then get out!"
Zhang Tian's eyes were playful and his tone was arrogant and wild.
Xuan'er's expression was angry, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he yelled: "Zhang Tian, don't be too arrogant! You must know that military law is ruthless. If you don't obey the commander's military orders and the army is defeated, it will be difficult for you even if you are a member of the Zhang family to return to the court one day.
Escape to death!"
"No, Xuan'er, what you said is totally wrong. My 700,000-strong army is tightly entangled under Yufeng City by the enemy and cannot escape. It's not because I don't obey military orders, but it's because the military situation doesn't allow it!"
Zhang Tian looked calm, smiled, and answered seriously.
"You, Zhang Tian, what is the difference between your behavior and rebellion? Are you really not afraid that the commander will blame you in the future? Are you really not afraid that the king will liquidate you in the future and bring disaster to your Zhang family!"
Xuan'er was furious, with a ferocious look on his face, veins popping out on his face, and he roared angrily.
"Haha, what a joke. My Zhang family has been immortal for thousands of years. Before the Xuanfeng Dynasty was established, my Zhang family already existed. It has such a profound foundation that you can't even imagine!
Even the royal family would not dare to say something bad about my Zhang family! You are from a commoner background, so what do you have to spare?"
Zhang Tian laughed wildly and wildly, without any respect for the royal family in his words. It was all the arrogance of a member of a noble family.
"Okay, Zhang Tian, I was reckless earlier, I apologize to you, and I beg you to lead your troops back to support!"
Xuan'er knew that what Zhang Tian said was true, so he had no choice but to bow his head once again.
"Apologise? It's still the same condition as before, kneel down and wag your head like a dog!"
Zhang Tian's expression changed, his expression became fierce, and the sinister feeling revealed in his words was frightening.
"Okay, I kneel down, I just hope you can keep your promise!"
Xuan'er's expression suddenly changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground in extreme humiliation.
In Xuan'er's heart, this kneeling was for the Royal Guards, for his adoptive father to live up to the name of Xuanfeng God of War, and for the sake of the Xuanfeng Dynasty to which he was loyal!
"Hahaha, yes, just like that, crawling at my feet like a dog!"
Zhang Tian finally got what he wanted and laughed wildly. Then under the disbelieving eyes of the generals around him, he drew out his long sword and slashed his head with the sword.
Xuan Er never thought until his death that Zhang Tian would dare to kill him!
Unprepared, Xuan'er was easily beheaded by Zhang Tian on the spot!
"The traitor Xuan'er pretended to pass the command! Listen to the order and attack the city with all your strength! Kill me!"
Just now, a wonderful idea appeared in Zhang Tian's mind.
That is, by killing Xuan'er and seizing Yufeng City, not only can he get rid of a mortal enemy, but he can also accomplish a great feat. Even if Xuan Xueyun is questioned in the future, he will have something to say to defend himself.
After all, he had achieved great success at that time and had the Zhang family as his backing. Even the current king would not dare to do anything to him.
"No, frankly, look, are the enemy soldiers crazy?"
Zhou Cang immediately realized that something was wrong. In the past few days, Zhang Tian led his army to attack the city only to the point where it was completed, and did not carry out a full-scale attack regardless of casualties.
But now, following Zhang Tian's order, the 700,000-strong army seemed to be going crazy, rushing towards Yufeng City from all directions, not caring at all about the large number of arrows thrown from Yufeng City.
They carried large shields on their shoulders, stepped on Paoze's body, and headed toward Yufeng City step by step!
"Yuanfu, the enemy is about to launch a full-scale attack, and we have to take action seriously!"
Zhou Cang and Guan Ping both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. It is really not easy to resist the enemy's siege of 700,000 troops with an army of 40,000. The arduous battle has just begun!
"The Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty listen to the order and throw arrows with all their strength. Don't let any enemy get close to the city wall!"
With Zhou Cang's order, the 40,000 Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty no longer had any scruples and threw fire arrows wantonly regardless of losses.
Forty thousand Blood Guards of the Tang Dynasty dropped a round of fire arrows, and the enemy troops immediately fell to the ground. Because of the fire arrows, traces of flames quickly formed a monstrous fire, burning the corpses of the enemy soldiers and forming a solid line at the same time.
The wall of fire blocked the enemy's path forward.
There were even many enemy soldiers who were not killed by the fire arrows, but were trapped in the fire and burned to death.
The screams were so shrill that it made people's scalp numb.
"Why are you standing still? Keep charging! Run through the sea of fire and climb the city wall. I, Zhang Tian, will personally take credit for you!"
Zhang Tian's roar spread throughout the battlefield.
Although they knew how false Zhang Tian's request for merit was, the Xuanfeng Dynasty's army still did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue to charge risking their lives.
Looking around, the road to the city wall is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which is extremely horrifying.
