The power of Lei Zhen's halberd strike sunk. It pierced through Gao Jun's back and the tip of the halberd stuck out from his chest.
Gao Jun screamed as he somersaulted down from his horse. He lay on the ground and struggled to stand up, but the fatal wound made him have no strength to stand up again.
His pain did not last long as well. Lei Zhen rushed forward and used his halberd to chop off Gao Jun's head.
Gao Jun, this powerful general of Zhen Country, did not die under Jiang Fan's arrows, but instead, died in Lei Zhen's hands, becoming the stepping stone for Lei Zhen's fame. What was laughable was that even at this time, Lei Zhen still did not know who the person he killed was. He only thought that it was an ordinary general from Zhen Country.
In truth, with Gao Jun's strength, he was not that weak. The key was that the old wound on his shoulder was too life-threatening, and when he fought with normal enemies, it did not affect him much, and once he met an expert like Lei Zhen, the arrow wound on his shoulder would become fatal.
Furthermore, such a valiant and fierce Gao Jun had also died in his hands. The twenty thousand soldiers who were watching the battle from the back had a drastic change in expression, and their hearts were filled with shock, their morale had also dropped to the bottom.
The two Legion Leaders quickly gave the order, and sent people to save Gao Jun's body, then they looked at General of Feng Country, and then at the excited crowd on the city walls, and their hearts went cold. There was no way to fight anymore, they could only retreat and report to the general.
At the same time, they also snatched away Gao Jun's corpse. It was just that Gao Jun's head had already landed in Lei Zhen's hands, and the Zhen Jun soldiers did not dare to step forward to take it.
Seeing that the enemy troops had retreated, the Generals And Soldiers of Feng Army's morale and roars became even louder. Wu Mei also suppressed the excitement in her heart and revealed a smile. With just him alone, she had killed four generals consecutively, and had scared off 20,000 or so enemy soldiers, Lei Zhen truly had the guts of Shangguan Yuan!
When Lei Zhen returned to the city alone and was treated like a hero, the surrounding Feng Soldier all rushed forward and extended their hands to help him. It was as if they were carrying him off their warhorse.
Lei Zhen was not used to such a popular scene, and was rather flattered. He repeatedly waved his hand to the surrounding soldiers, indicating that he was not injured, and was not tired, so he did not need to support himself.
Even so, people still surrounded him. There were people leading horses, and there were people carrying halberds for him, as if they were stars surrounding the moon. Lei Zhen courteously said a few more words, then carried Gao Jun's head and ran up the steps to the city wall. He quickly arrived in front of Wu Mei, his hands still holding onto the hair that was cut off, and knelt down on one knee, saluting while meditating: "Madam, this general will return to report!"
While speaking, he felt that it was not appropriate to place such a bloody head in front of Wu Mei, and hurriedly put it behind him.
Wu Mei is not a lady. She was a general who once stormed the battlefield and plundered the city. She has seen too much killing, so how could a single decapitated head scare her?" She wore a smile on her face and did not avoid any suspicion. She reached out to help Lei Zhen up, smiled and said, "General Lei, you've worked hard. I never knew that General Lei was a valiant general!
She personally supported Lei Zhen, causing the latter's face to flush red, and immediately dropped her hands as she said: "Madam, you flatter me too much, I do not deserve it!"
Wu Mei secretly nodded her head. Not only was Lei Zhen valiant and powerful, he was also modest and polite. It was a good thing that the King had left him in the capital. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know who to count on to defend against his enemies! She saw the perspiration on Lei Zhen's face and said, "General Lei has fought three consecutive battles, he must be tired, let's go and rest for a bit!"
In the face of a great enemy, how could Lei Zhen be willing to leave? Furthermore, with Wu Mei around, he was also unwilling to leave. Lei Zhen was a young and strong guy, when he saw the beautiful, peerless, and valiant, Wu Mei, he would unknowingly be attracted by it. Although he did not dare to have any ulterior motives, he still wanted to take a few more glances.
In the first battle of Wan City, Lei Zhen displayed his might and killed Gao Jun and his three subordinates. The twenty thousand soldiers of the previous army did not dare to continue attacking the city, and they had no choice but to retreat to the middle army. After hearing the news of Gao Jun's death, Li Cheng was shocked. He stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time. Gao Jun being killed by an enemy was simply too inconceivable in Li Cheng's mind.
Even when fighting with one of the four great generals of Feng Country, Gao Jun was only injured. This time, he had actually capsized the boat and was killed by a nameless little pawn, how could this not shock Li Cheng?
If Li Cheng was acting in such a way, then the surrounding chaste generals were even more confused. There were even some who did not believe it, and went over to Gao Jun's corpse and removed the white cloth covering it, then lowered their heads and carefully looked, to confirm whether or not it was Gao Jun. The headless body was shocking to the eye, and it was not easy to determine the corpse's identity, but looking at the armor the people were able to identify it, it was indeed Gao Jun.
Everyone stood up dumbly in front of the corpse and muttered, "Still... it really is the General Gao ? "
"General!" Just then, Xun Xiao suddenly shouted out, he strode to Li Cheng's side, interposed and bowed, gritting his teeth, and said: "Please send this lowly general out to battle, this lowly general will go to the front to retrieve Lei Zhen's dog head, to avenge General Gao!"
Xun Xiao and Gao Jun were both famous generals, and the relationship between the two was one of competition and personal friendship. In the army, the two of them could fight until their heads bled for military merits, and in private, they had the same interests and friendship. Seeing Gao Jun's miserable death, unable to even protect his corpse, Xun Xiao's heart was filled with grief and indignation. His eyes turned blood-red, and his facial features twisted as he moved.
This time, seeing that Xun Xiao was going to volunteer again, Li Cheng shook his head like a rattle drum, and rejected in one go: "No! The current number of forces in the Wan City and the number of generals in the city must be reassessed. We cannot fight again today, but wait until tomorrow, when the accurate information is sent back, we will make our plans! "
At this time, Li Cheng displayed his wise and calm side, he did not panic just because of Gao Jun's accidental death. He was able to keep his composure, but Xun Xiao could not. The latter opened his eyes wide and questioned loudly, "General, are we going to let General Gao die in vain?"
Li Cheng said in a deep voice: "This general did not say that he would give up attacking Wan City. Don't say anymore. Today, the entire army will rest! "
Sigh! Xun Xiao stamped his feet hard and sighed in his heart. Li Cheng was the main general. If he did not give the order to attack, Xun Xiao would not be able to do anything. He turned around and walked in front of Gao Jun's corpse, looked left and right, and said: "Tonight, I will guard the Brothers' corpses!"
Lei Zhen's sudden appearance disrupted Li Cheng's plan to attack, and also made him start to pay attention to the relatively small Wan City in front of him.
The next day, the Chastity Army scouts continued to report back, similar to their previous intelligence reports. There were basically no changes, and the only additional piece of information was their investigation of Lei Zhen. The Chastity Army's information was extremely detailed regarding Lei Zhen's background, background, and rank. After reading it, Li Cheng finally understood who Lei Zhen was.
No wonder he had never heard of someone like Lei Zhen before. However, since this person was able to become the champion of the Feng Country, his strength was naturally no small matter. After Li Cheng found out about Lei Zhen's identity, he no longer sent people to fight with him. Instead, he immediately ordered the entire army to attack the city and seize the Wan City.
Not only was there a moat outside the city, the city wall was also high, and on the city walls were laid City-breaking Crossbow s and Army-broking Crossbow s, which were extremely powerful weapons. In addition, Trebuchet s were also prepared in the city, and although there were not many large weapons, they could still be used to deter and kill the enemy forces that were attacking the city from the outside.2
Zhen Jun held nothing back, eighty thousand soldiers, all on the battlefield, including Li Cheng himself.
The sky was even darker than the day before, and the temperature was even colder. Li Cheng sat on his horse and couldn't help but shiver, and the Chastity Army soldiers below also had pale lips and gritted their teeth as they continued to fight.
Li Cheng exhaled, and retrieved his sword from his waist, he turned and shouted: "The Feng Army's forces have all gathered at the Wan City, as long as we take down the Wan City, the Yan City will be our army's property, and at that time, we can return home! Yan City is the Wind Capital, and is also the feet of the Heavenly Emperor. Inside, there are countless gold, silver, and jewelry. If brothers want to live a rich life, then give me the Wan City right now! " With that, he pointed his sword forward and shouted: "All troops charge! Kill! "
"Kill ?"
With Li Cheng's order, the eighty thousand soldiers charged forward. The charging speed of the Zhen Soldier was extremely fast, what was truly inconceivable was that under the charge of such speed, the entire army's formation was actually extremely orderly, with 80,000 people and eight formations, as though they were eight pieces of carpet that were quickly moving, they quickly pounced towards the Wan City.
At the same time, the Wan City had also entered into battle mode, Wu Mei, accompanied by Zong Yuan, stepped onto the City Gate Tower stage, and personally observed the battle. As a martial general, Lei Zhen did not go on the City Gate Tower, but instead walked around the city walls, seeing that the enemy had already entered into their range of attack, Lei Zhen gave the order, and the entire army raised their bows, ready to shoot.
Just then, Zong Yuan stuck his head out from the City Gate Tower and shouted to Lei Zhen who was below him: "General Lei, do not shoot any arrows yet, wait till the enemies are 50 steps away, then you can shoot!"
Moreover, the soldiers guarding the city walls were all new recruits. Their archery skills were not strong, so whether they could shoot out a hundred steps was a problem. Not to mention injuring the enemy, it would be safer to shoot out another arrow in fifty steps.
Lei Zhen had never fought before, and had never fought together with a soldier before, so he naturally followed Zong Yuan's orders. Hearing Zong Yuan's words, he put down his arm that was held up high, and then said to the soldiers around him: "Everyone listen to my orders to shoot an arrow!"
With that, he held onto the arrow stack, half his body almost reaching out. He stared unblinkingly at the enemy while silently calculating the distance between the enemy and himself. Lei Zhen who had just entered the battlefield was exceptionally nervous, he appeared to be extremely cautious as well.
