Chapter 154: Ignoring Orders, Continuing the Attack, Eunuch Liu Takes the Field

"General, an urgent report from eight hundred li away!"

"What?"

Chu Feng hurriedly took the letter handed over by the messenger and tore it open to check it at top speed.

At the first glance.

Chu Feng wished he could tear the letter in his hands to shreds right then and there.

"Damn it, they really know how to pick a time to stir up trouble!"

"General, what is it?" Lu Shuwan asked hurriedly upon seeing this.

"Sigh, see for yourself!"

Lu Shuwan took the letter from Chu Feng's hand, and a look of astonishment instantly filled her face.

"These damned fellows!"

Lu Shuwan's face was also filled with anger at this moment.

The letter stated.

The Crown Prince of Great Wei had made a comeback.

Leading hundreds of thousands of troops from the eastern frontier of Great Wei, he was heading straight for the Capital.

The Marquis of Iron Whip, Wu Yao, who was responsible for guarding the eastern frontier, had also joined the ranks of the Crown Prince's rebellion.

The two sides had combined their forces, and the Capital was in imminent danger.

At the same time.

Reinforcements from other parts of Great Chu had already arrived at Chongshan Fortress.

They had formed a standoff with the Yushan Fortress guarded by the Duke of Chen.

Other great generals guarding the borders of Great Wei all had heavy responsibilities on their shoulders and could not be mobilized.

The only force that could be counted on now was the Anwu Army led by Chu Feng.

"General, what should we do?"

The other subordinate generals also learned of this situation, "We have finally fought our way to the Capital of Great Zhao, and we are one step away from ending the battle; if we give up, wouldn't that be abandoning the task halfway?"

Chu Feng naturally knew this situation as well.

If he gave up this opportunity to destroy Great Zhao, it would not be an easy matter to come and attack again in the future.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Chu Feng finally made a decision.

"Order the troops to attack the Capital of Great Zhao with full force; at all costs, you must take it down for me in the shortest time possible!"

"General, are you defying orders?"

Lu Shuwan said hurriedly, "This is the Emperor's order; if you disobey it, the Emperor's side..."

"I'll take the blame if anything happens!"

Chu Feng said with a firm attitude, "If we miss this opportunity, who knows what the situation will be next time?"

To hell with the Emperor!

When a general is in the field, he is not bound by the orders of his sovereign!

Even if the sky falls over at the Capital, isn't there still that King of Reliance holding it up?

Let them hold on a little longer; it won't be too late to go back and provide support after I have taken Great Zhao.

And another thing!

My wings are strong now, and I don't need to look at her face anymore; if she makes me unhappy, I can have her change the dynasty in a minute.

That business of the twelve Gold Medals recalling Lord Yue doesn't work on me!

Chu Feng secretly ranted to his heart's content.

No one could stop him from wiping out Great Zhao.

"Sigh, Emperor, you will just have to hold on a little longer!"

Lu Shuwan ultimately chose to support Chu Feng.

They were just one final kick away from a complete victory; if they retreated now, it would truly be throwing away all their previous efforts.

"Troops, move out! Target: the Imperial Palace of Great Zhao, advance!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops deployed their formations and began the attack.

The Imperial Palace of Great Zhao.

Zhao Ji learned that Pengguan had been breached and that the Anwu Army led by Chu Feng was already at the city gates.

The entire court was in a state of panic.

Many officials were already prepared to surrender at any moment.

As the saying goes, let the other guy die, not me; working is working no matter where you do it!

They were just waiting for Chu Feng to break in and then hand over the Emperor.

"My dear officials, the Wei Army is already at the city gates; what is to be done?"

Facing Zhao Ji's inquiry.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could come up with a good solution.

After all, they had already started to give up.

"Sigh, I knew that scholars are useless!"

Zhao Ji fell into complete despair.

He could see that these fellows had actually long been prepared to surrender.

"Emperor, Emperor!"

A eunuch walked in at high speed, "Emperor, news has come from the front: the Crown Prince of Great Wei has joined forces with the Marquis of Iron Whip, Wu Yao, to rebel,"

The great army has already approached the Capital of Great Wei, and the Empress of Great Wei has issued an urgent 800-li express order demanding the Anwu Army return to rescue the Capital.

"Oh?"

Upon learning this news.

Zhao Ji seemed as if he had been injected with a stimulant, instantly becoming full of vigor.

"Hahahaha..."

"Heaven has not forsaken my Great Zhao; this rebellion by the Crown Prince of Great Wei truly comes at the perfect time!"

After hearing this news.

The many ministers who had just been disconnected were finally reconnected to the network at this moment.

"Your Majesty, we should take this opportunity to pursue the Anwu Army; they must have little defense in the rear after their rapid withdrawal."

"Your Majesty, civil strife has broken out again in Great Wei; this is the perfect time for us to send troops. We need only wait for them to both suffer heavy losses, then we can take the opportunity to attack Great Wei and avenge this insult!"

Seeing that the situation had turned in their favor.

A crowd of ministers offered many good suggestions and strategies.

This left Zhao Ji quite speechless.

A bunch of useless things; they know how to show off now, so why weren't you all this proactive just a moment ago?

Just as Zhao Ji was preparing to make the following arrangements.

Suddenly, someone else burst into the main hall at this moment.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's bad, it's a disaster! The Anwu Army has launched a full-scale attack, has already broken through our three lines of defense, and is pressing straight toward the Imperial Palace!"

"What?"

Zhao Ji almost fainted on the spot.

After a good while, Zhao Ji finally suppressed the agitation in his heart, "Did he, did he not return his troops to rescue the Capital of Great Wei?"

"No, and their attack is extremely fierce; they have every intention of swallowing our Imperial Capital in one go!"

Boom!

Zhao Ji felt as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

He never imagined that this fellow Chu Feng would be one to defy orders.

He would rather abandon his own Emperor than fail to destroy his Great Zhao in one fell swoop.

A helpless Zhao Ji looked once again at the civil and military officials in the court.

As a result, this bunch of useless buckets had entered a state of disconnection again.

"Damn it, why did I raise this bunch of useless things!"

"Your Majesty, do not panic, this old man is here!"

Just as Zhao Ji was at his wit's end.

An old man suddenly appeared in the court.

Everyone was shocked and terrified.

No one expected that such a living person would suddenly appear beside them.

"Senior Zhang Gui!"

Zhao Ji was overjoyed.

The person who arrived was the ancestor of the Tiangang Sect, Zhang Gui.

He never expected that at this critical moment, the old man would come out of seclusion.

Zhao Ji hurriedly stood up and walked toward Zhang Gui: "I hope Senior will save my Great Zhao from fire and water; Great Zhao will be eternally grateful!"

"Your Majesty is too kind!"

Zhang Gui continued, "This old man heard at the Tiangang Sect that my Tiangang Sect leader was killed and many disciples were eliminated; today I have come specifically to seek revenge on that thief!"

Zhang Gui's aura instantly erupted, and the formidable pressure made everyone around feel a great sense of suffocation.

"Your Majesty, please set your heart at ease; wait for this old man to go out and kill him until not a single piece of armor remains!"

"I am indebted to you, Senior Zhang Gui!"

As soon as the words fell.

Zhang Gui's figure disappeared from where he stood.

It turned out this was only a clone of Zhang Gui.

As for his true body, it had already headed to the very front line of the battle.

The scene shifts.

The slaughter between Great Zhao and Great Wei was still continuing.

Because there were no Martial Saint-level experts sitting in the Capital, the Great Zhao army had been at a disadvantage.

The coalition forces of Great Wei and the Xianbei were like a hot knife through butter, successively breaking through the five solid defensive lines set up by Great Zhao.

They killed their way to the foot of the Imperial City.

"Heh, just this last step left!"

Chu Feng muttered as he gazed at the tall palace walls before him.

As long as this place was taken, the battle could naturally be declared over.

He would then be able to withdraw his troops and return to support the Capital of Great Wei.

Just as Chu Feng gave the order to attack the city.

An old man suddenly appeared at the very top of the palace wall.

"Thief, cease your insolence! Today shall surely be the day of your destruction!"
