Chapter 8 - Wang Jing
Taiyuan City was broken, and Nvzhen entered the Taiyuan City, but the battle still did not stop! There were still shouts of battle in the entire Taiyuan City!
"The Chinese haven't surrendered yet?" Wanyan Zonghan said in shock.
He had already conquered countless Liao Country cities and Chinese cities. Generally speaking, as long as the cities were destroyed, the defending army would surrender! Like the Taiyuan City, with the walls already broken and the army already entering the city, it was very rare for the defending army to still be stubbornly resisting.
"Yes, the guards of the Taiyuan City will still lead the veterans to fight with us." The female soldier reported.
"Very good, after so many years of war, I finally met a true hero! Pass down the order, I want to capture the protector of Taiyuan alive! " Wanyan Zonghan's face revealed a hint of excitement.
From the distant Mount Changbai all the way until now, he had fought his way through thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. The only regret was that he did not meet a proper opponent! Now, he felt that he had finally met an opponent, a hero! Although this opponent had relied on the city wall to block his attack, this was already a very precious thing! There were many cities that were tougher and bigger than the Taiyuan City s. Even famous cities like the Shang Jing s and the Yanjing s couldn't even take a single blow from the Female Genuine Armoured Cavalry, but the Taiyuan City had actually blocked them for 260 days. This was truly not simple!
"Kill!" Inside the Taiyuan City, a middle-aged general was bravely killing the enemy.
Wang had just turned thirty-two years old and was in the prime of his life. He should have been strong and healthy, but now he was as thin as a twig! He hadn't eaten much since the beginning of the year! Especially during this half a month, Taiyuan City had finished all the food he could eat! The entire Taiyuan City was already an "empty city". Here, there were no horses, cows, mules, various types of leather armour, no duckweed, chaff, grass, etc. In the past half month, Wang Wang Wang had only eaten an occasional mouse that had starved to death!
The reason he was able to persevere was because of his unyielding spirit. Of course, it was also because of his Upper Sky Realm cultivation! He was a very rare Xiantian master in the army, and he could only persevere after the Zhen Qi within his body had extended out for a long period of time!
However, he had already reached his limit!
"Your Majesty, I can no longer serve you! The Taiyuan City is still ruined! " Seeing that more and more Jin Army s were rushing over, Wang Zhi couldn't help but cry!
"Kill!" He roared, and the surrounding city walls seemed to tremble, he waved the treasured sword in his hand, and two more Jin Army s died in his hands!
His face was splattered with the enemy's blood. Seeing that more and more enemies were rushing towards him, he did not have any fear. He was only moving forward! Before he died, he wanted to drag even more Jin Army to their deaths!
The true energy within his body gradually ran out, and his strength also gradually disappeared! Seeing that another Jin Army was charging towards him, Wang Zhi roared and rushed forward, he let the Jin Army's spear pierce into his left shoulder, the sword in his hand mercilessly slashed at Jin Army's head, immediately becoming a person with brain matter, Wang Zhi laughed out loud!
However, even if Jin Army died, he would still be severely injured!
At this kind of critical juncture, he had already begun to fight with his life on the line. He knew that he would die today, and the only thing he wanted now was to use his own life to bring more Jin Army to hell!
The comrades beside him had all died, and he was the only one left on the city wall!
Gradually, the number of Jin Army around him increased, and they surrounded him! These Jin Army were also moved by his courage. They no longer swarmed over him, but charged him one by one, giving it their all! This was an army that had battled for ten years, with their own beliefs and pride. They would bestow upon Wang Zhice the death of a brave warrior!
After killing who knows how many enemies, Wang Qin finally felt darkness in front of his eyes. There were simply too many wounds on his body, and his blood finally flowed! Before he died, he still forced himself to stand there. The sword in his hand was resting on the ground, supporting his body! Facing the Tataru, he absolutely could not fall down!
"Marshal, he's dead!" A soldier came to Wanyan Zonghan's side and reported.
Wanyan Zonghan nodded silently! After a while, he suddenly asked, "What is that thing that Wang Qin is carrying on his back? Bring it over, let me have a look! "
Wang Qin was actually carrying a long wooden chest on his back, and a few Jin Army s immediately married the wooden chest over and placed it in Wanyan Zonghan's hands! As for Wang Qin's corpse, they still let him stand there and not let him fall! Such enemies won their respect.
Wanyan Zonghan opened the wooden box. Under the illumination of the torch, he saw a painting inside the wooden box. He opened the painting and saw a person inside. This person was dressed in a dragon robe and had a crown on his head. His brows were slanted deeply as a domineering aura surged from the painting. Who was this person?
"Marshal, the person in the portrait is the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin!" A Chinese scholar beside him said.
Over the years, the Nvzhen had conquered the north. Countless scholars with no integrity had sided with the Nvzhen, and this Han was one of them.
"I didn't expect that when he was dying, he was still carrying Zhao Kuangyin's imperial statue. Was he afraid that the imperial statue would be injured in the war …" At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan also felt a bit of shock in his heart.
"Reporting to the King of Grave! Buried Song Dynasty Great Ancestor's statue with him! Let the entire army rest for a day, and after a day, let the entire army head south, all the way until the opening of the seal! " Wanyan Zonghan clenched his fist and said.
In the Eastern Palace, Zhao Chen had just stopped cultivating!
He looked into the distance and saw dense, dark clouds and the occasional sound of muffled thunder. He felt extremely depressed, as if something big had happened!
"What happened? "Why am I so upset?" Zhao Chen secretly thought.
What he did not know was that three eunuchs were running through the rain towards the East Palace. At the gate of the Eastern Palace, three eunuchs were obstructed. After a few questions, the guards then placed them into the Eastern Palace! They kept walking forward until they finally arrived in front of Zhao Chen's sleeping quarters! After their report, they entered the palace and knelt in front of Zhao Chen!
"What happened? Why are you all so terrified? "
"Your Highness, things are not going well! Taiyuan City is broken, Zhongshan … The flow of the river was also broken through by the female True Tataru! "
The Taiyuan City had already endured for 260 days from the first invasion to now. As for the middle mountains and the middle rivers, they had not even achieved their goal of delaying Wanyan Zongwang's march! Wanyan Zongwang had attacked the Middle Mountain in three days, and in one day, he had conquered the river. Wanyan Zongwang's eastern troop moved as fast as they could, advancing forward, not stopping at all. They were not far from the Yellow River now!
"What?" Did the three northern towns fall? " Zhao Chen heard the sound of rolling thunder coming from the outside, and felt that the lightning and thunder had struck his body, causing him to feel a chill all over his body.
The three towns in the north had been conquered. It was a flat land south of the three towns in the north. In the plains, the female True Knights were invincible existences! They would arrive at Kaifeng very soon. If the Kaifeng City breaks, he would die!
"I can't die, I can't die …." Zhao Chen's voice trembled a little!
From the beginning to the end, he was still only a seventeen years old boy! He had only been in this era for a few months! "To a certain extent, he has yet to enter this era, and all he has to think about is his own safety!" To him, the title of Crown Prince was just a name and code name, not a king from the Central Plains. It had no special meaning! The "royal father", "mother", and all the ministers in the court were all strangers to him. The only people he had good impressions of this era were probably Wang De, or the eunuchs and palace maids who served him well!
He didn't want to die, he definitely wasn't willing to die here!
"Go find Wang De!" Zhao Chen said loudly.
