"General Zhang, what should we do now? The troops of Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao were all repelled by Han Ziqian. If we continue to move forward and confront Han Ziqian head-on, he is a civilian god of war after all. I am afraid we are no match for him."
"Yes, I got the news that Lei Ren's soldiers and horses behind are very close to us. If we don't take action at this time, I'm afraid we will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides by the Lei family's army. At that time, no one in the sky can
There is no way to get into the ground. We, one hundred thousand people, may all die. I hope General Zhang will think twice!"
In the camp, Zhang Decai was holding a military meeting with his generals. The news that Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao's troops were repelled by a small group led by Han Ziqian had just reached here.
"Damn it, I've already made the decision to resist his Thunder Blade, what else can I do now? I can only fight with them!"
"Yes, there are 100,000 of us. According to the information I got, even if Han Ziqian from Xiliang City and Lei Ren's troops at the back add up, they don't exceed 70,000. If 100,000 fight against 70,000, what are we afraid of? We can't
There is a thought of being timid before fighting!"
In the camp, the generals were clearly divided into two groups. One group advocated begging for mercy from Lei Ren, or at least finding a fork in the road to escape from the battlefield. Before the encirclement of Han Ziqian and Lei Ren was formed, they should leave the battlefield and not fight with the Lei family army.
Head-on confrontation.
The other faction is ready to fight to the end with the Lei Family Army.
The two sides argued for several minutes, and the camp began to become noisy.
Zhang Decai, who was sitting directly above him, lowered his head in deep thought and said nothing.
No one saw that Zhang Decai's hands were shaking a little at this time, and there was a slight cold sweat on his forehead. He was so scared.
This is not Zhang Decai's fault. In fact, Zhang Decai became a general in Xihuang mainly because of his father. His father was a tiger general in the Xianling Dynasty. When he was in power, he tried his best to promote Zhang Decai in Xihuang.
After his death, Zhang Decai, surrounded by his father's old troops, naturally became a general with heavy troops.
But in fact, Zhang Decai is timid and has no ambition. Most importantly, his cultivation level is not high. In the late stage of becoming a god, he is not even a minor immortal. Even some low-level generals have higher cultivation level than him.
.If his father's old troops hadn't supported him, he would have been ousted long ago.
The generals of the Lei Family Army who strongly advocated the war of resistance against Lei Ren were also the old subordinates of Zhang Decai's father.
"Damn it, Du Zhenyang, Jiang Baitao, you two old men agreed to work with me to besiege Xiliang City and do great work, but you only sent 10,000 people! Ten thousand people are not enough, Han Ziqian will beat you with 3,000 people
Ran away? It’s like a waste!”
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Zhang Decai slammed the table angrily, and the camp instantly became quiet.
Originally, Zhang Decai was just a speculator, and he would follow anyone who forced him to. At the beginning, Lei Ren showed his sharp edge and was extremely strong, so he followed Lei Ren.
Later, the Seventh Immortal Emperor announced the Lei Ren rebellion, and Feng Qizi had an army of 300,000. Zhang Decai naturally believed that Lei Ren's hundreds of thousands of troops were definitely no match for the Immortal Dynasty.
Therefore, with one hundred thousand troops, he resolutely decided to rebel after getting in touch with Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao, and prepared to take the opportunity to capture Xiliang City as a gift to Feng Qizi.
But he did not expect that Xiliang City, with its weak military strength, would become so powerful under the leadership of Han Ziqian.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao's troops would be so vulnerable.
Such a sudden turn of events forced Zhang Decai to make a difficult decision.
"General Zhang, make a decision!"
"Make a decision!"
The subordinates began to urge.
"Report!"
At this moment, a scout turned into a ray of light and shadow and flashed into the camp from outside. He knelt down in front of Zhang Decai and handed over a letter: "General, a letter from Thunder Blade."
Zhang Decai was stunned for a moment and checked it carefully. For fear of being poisoned by the thunder blade, he made sure that he had just unfolded the letter and read it carefully. The more he looked, the more he frowned.
"General, Thunder Blade sent a small group of beast soldiers. They fired bows and arrows at our troops. The arrows had no arrowheads, but there was a letter on the arrow shaft." Another guard came to report.
"Drive them away and kill them without mercy!" Zhang Decai ordered directly.
However, the troops sent by Lei Ren at this time were all fast-moving beast soldiers. After firing thousands of arrows, Lei Ren's troops withdrew. How could Zhang Decai's men catch up?
At this time, Zhang Decai's troops had already begun to make a noise, because the letters tied to the arrow shafts had the same content as the letter in Zhang Decai's hand.
After learning about this situation, Zhang Decai could order his guards: "Put all the letters away and burn them! Anyone who refuses to hand them over will be shot to death!"
The generals in the camp did not go out, and none of them knew what was going on. They were especially curious about the content of the letter in Zhang Decai's hand.
Zhang Decai glanced at the crowd and knew he couldn't hide it, so he circulated Lei Ren's letter to all his subordinates.
This letter from Lei Ren mainly talks about two major contents: First, this time the Lei Jiajun came only to target Zhang Decai's betrayal of betrayal, and only killed Zhang Decai. The rest of the people, as long as they drew a clear line with Zhang Decai, they would be fine.
Don't pursue it.
Second, if Zhang Decai's troops are willing to return to the Lei Jiajun, the Lei Jiajun will welcome them and let bygones be bygones. However, if they wait until the Lei Jiajun catches up and surrender at that time, they will also die!
To put it bluntly, Lei Ren's letter was like a carrot and a stick. On the one hand, he was trying to intimidate everyone, and on the other hand, he wanted to disintegrate Zhang Decai's troops.
Lei Ren knew a long time ago that Zhang Decai's troops were very disunited. Zhang Decai's father's old army had monopolized power and held various rights. Therefore, these people were afraid of their interests being divided, so they advocated confrontation with Lei Ren.
After the generals read Lei Ren's letter, they looked at each other one by one. Then, those generals who advocated surrender or escape, when they had nothing to say, turned around and decided to join the main war faction.
Fight to the death with Thunder Blade.
The reason is very simple. Lei Ren said that this time, even if he vows to kill Zhang Decai or surrender, it will be useless. Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhang Decai will resist to the death.
"Hmph, Lei Ren thinks that his mere tens of thousands of Lei family troops are so great? I have one hundred thousand men, enough to fight him. Who will win and who will lose is still uncertain!"
Zhang Decai stood up, tore up Lei Ren's letter, and decided to fight to the bitter end.
"Besides, I also have the strength to drag him down. It only takes ten days and a half. Once Feng Hou's 300,000 troops arrive, plus Du Zhenyang and Jiang Baitao's troops, hum, he wants to kill me? I think,
