Chapter 2069 Revenge
The two generals clashed! Each brandished their weapons and charged at the other!
Wang Zhongsi's broken sword tried its best to block, but it was ultimately a fraction too slow.
"Pfft!"
The sharp spear tip pierced precisely through the shattered armor and plunged into Wang Zhongsi's chest.
Time seems to freeze at this moment.
Wang Zhongsi's charging stance froze. He looked down at the spear blade protruding from his chest, then looked up and gazed northward.
That was the direction where the Tang Dynasty was located, and also the direction in which he secretly sent away his elite troops.
His eyes held no pain, no fear, only a trace of regret for failing to recover lost territories, and a sense of peace that his mission had been accomplished and he had no regrets.
He opened his mouth, blood spilling from the corner of his lips, and with his last breath, he uttered a barely audible yet incredibly powerful voice: "Great...Tang..."
Before he finished speaking, his imposing figure slowly fell from his horse, crashing heavily onto the land where he had fought to the last moment, stirring up a few specks of dust.
Wang Zhongsi, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty and the military governor of Shuofang, died fighting valiantly!
"General!!!"
In the distance, some Tang army veterans who had not yet been annihilated saw this scene and let out heart-wrenching cries of grief.
Many people gave up resistance, tears streaming down their faces, and knelt down in the direction where Wang Zhongsi had fallen.
Zhao Yu slowly sheathed his silver spear, looked at Wang Zhongsi's body, and remained silent for a long time.
He dismounted, walked to Wang Zhongsi's side, bent down, and gently closed his eyes, which were still gazing northward.
Then, he removed his white cloak and solemnly covered the body of his esteemed adversary.
"Give General Wang a grand funeral, with the honors due to a marshal."
Zhao Yu's voice was low, with a hint of barely perceptible sigh.
With Wang Zhongsi's death in battle, the last organized resistance of the Tang army on this battlefield completely collapsed.
The surviving soldiers either surrendered or fled. The deafening shouts of battle gradually subsided, leaving only the wails of the wounded and the cawing of crows swirling in the blood-soaked air.
Under Feng Mulan's protection, Chu Ning rode up to her.
He looked at Wang Zhongsi's peaceful face beneath the cloak, then at Zhao Yu standing solemnly to the side, and sighed softly.
"By imperial decree, Wang Zhongsi is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. Although he was an enemy general, he should be given a grand burial and a monument should be erected to commemorate him."
The afterglow of the setting sun once again bathed the battlefield, painting this tragic victory with a layer of poignant gold.
Wang Zhongsi demonstrated his loyalty as a soldier in the most resolute way, and also drew a comma full of bloodshed and regret in this crucial battle.
Because the battles on the other two sides are still ongoing!
As the battle between the two sides on this battlefield intensified, another drama of pursuit and revenge was unfolding on the northwestern edge of the battlefield.
The terrain here is undulating, with hills and wilderness interspersed, making it an ideal arena for cavalry pursuit battles.
Guan Yun, the Chu general known for his loyalty and bravery, had no macro-level considerations for the overall battle situation at this moment; all he had was a raging fire of anger that was about to burst out of his chest!
This anger stemmed from the treacherous and cunning arrows fired by the Scorpion Clan cavalry during their last encounter.
This anger stemmed from the tragic sight of countless comrades falling under the scorpion clan's curved blades.
This anger stemmed from his deep-seated hatred for these fickle and profit-driven steppe tribes!
He remembered that name—Tuwujin!
It was that cunning scorpion clan leader who delivered the near-fatal blow to him amidst the chaos of battle.
If he doesn't avenge this, Guan Yun will be unworthy of being a seven-foot-tall man!
"You treacherous dog of the Scorpion Clan, don't you dare run away!"
Guan Yun's voice was booming, and his chestnut warhorse, like a burning flame, galloped at full speed.
The heavy Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand gleamed with a chilling blue light in the sunlight, its blade slicing through the air with a low, dangerous hum.
He completely ignored the scattered Scorpion Riders who were trying to stop him.
His only target was Tuojin, who was fleeing in panic, wearing a magnificent wolf-skin cloak!
Tuowujin was also terrified at this moment.
He had intended to follow Huyan Ying away from the main battlefield as soon as possible to preserve his strength, but he did not expect that such a persistent and fierce cavalry force would be separated from the Chu army and relentlessly pursue him.
Especially the red-faced general wielding a long sword; his overwhelming killing intent could be felt from a mile away, sending chills down his spine.
"Stop him! Stop him right now!"
Tuwujin screamed in terror in the Scorpion Tribe language, whipping his mount repeatedly while ordering his personal guards to turn back and intercept him.
Dozens of fierce Scorpion Clan cavalrymen howled, turned their horses around, brandished their scimitars, and pounced on Guan Yun like a pack of wolves.
They were the most elite warriors under the command of the Turks, each with superb horsemanship and fearless in the face of death.
"You worthless wretch, how dare you block my way?!"
Guan Yun's phoenix eyes widened, a fierce glint flashing in them. Instead of slowing down, he spurred his horse's belly, increasing his speed even further!
Facing the oncoming curved blade, he neither dodged nor avoided; the Azure Dragon Blade simply swept across the battlefield!
"Clang! Crack!"
The ear-piercing sound of metal breaking and bones shattering rang out almost simultaneously!
The first few Scorpion Clan cavalrymen were cut in half at the waist by this unparalleled force, swords and all!
Blood and internal organs splattered everywhere instantly, the scene was extremely gruesome!
Guan Yunma didn't stop, his Green Dragon Blade slashing, chopping, slashing, and thrusting, dancing like a wheel!
Wherever the blade flashed, men and horses fell, and severed limbs flew everywhere!
He seemed to transform into a highly efficient killing machine, carving a bloody path through the Scorpion Clan cavalry's blocking formation, leaving behind only a mess of corpses and wailing warhorses.
His unstoppable power and the blood-soaked Azure Dragon Blade completely shattered the courage of the subsequent Scorpion Clan cavalry.
They stared in terror at Guan Yun, who seemed like a god of death descending upon the world. With a shout, they scattered involuntarily, and no one dared to step forward to stop him.
When Tuwu Jin turned around and saw this scene, he was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. He whipped his warhorse desperately, wishing that his parents had given him two more legs.
The two pursued and fled, and the distance between them kept closing.
Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps...
"Tuwu Jin! Prepare to die!"
Guan Yun's roar was like a thunderclap, making Tuwu Jin's eardrums ache.
He knew he could no longer escape. His survival instinct compelled him to pull the reins tight, draw the gold-inlaid scimitar from his waist, and howl as he charged toward Guan Yun with a desperate, ferocious expression on his face.
He was, after all, a renowned warrior in the tribe, and now that he was cornered, his ferocity was unleashed.
"clang!"
The Green Dragon Crescent Blade and the Gold-Inlaid Curved Blade clashed fiercely for the first time!
Sparks fly!
Suddenly, Jin felt an indescribable force coming from the blade. His entire right arm went numb instantly, his hand split open, and blood flowed freely. The scimitar almost flew out of his hand!
He was horrified; the red-faced man's strength was simply superhuman!
"die!"
Guan Yun gave him no chance to breathe. Using the force of the recoil, the Azure Dragon Blade drew a strange arc, the blade slashing upwards from below!
