Chapter 768

Jizhoucheng,

Bright firelight tore through the night; when the city lord and Military Head Wang looked outside the city, their faces were filled with shock.

Because the Yuwen Xianbei camp had actually been raided at night.

"Military Head, the banner has fallen, the Xianbei Murong clan's banner has fallen!"

Walking quickly to Military Head Wang's side, the messenger couldn't help but become excited.

"Have the reinforcements arrived?"

Questioning the messenger, Military Head Wang couldn't help but interrogate him.

"It's not the reinforcements, it's our scouts outside; they attacked the Yuwen Xianbei camp, what should we do now?"

Looking at Military Head Wang, the messenger couldn't help but ask.

"The scouts outside, Zhang Zhang Xinzhi?"

Thinking of Zhang Cheng, Military Head Wang immediately walked down the city wall and said: "Quick, open the city gate, whether we can win this time depends on this battle!"

Accompanied by Military Head Wang turning and leaving, the city lord said worriedly: "You can't, Military Head, if you leave, what will happen to my Jizhou?"

"Rather than holding out to the death, it's better to take the initiative; now that the Xianbei Murong clan's banner has fallen, I don't believe Xianbei Murong Ke can still make a desperate comeback!"

Speaking firmly, light flickered in Military Head Wang's eyes.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

The city gate of Jizhou opened, and countless Later Zhao cavalry charged out, heading toward the front immediately.

Looking at the horn blowing from the rear, Xianbei Murong Chui knew the general trend was gone, and immediately pulled out his sword and roared forward: "Kill this person!"

"Kill!"

Letting out a roar, the brave personal guards immediately charged forward.

Holding a long sword that had already rolled its edge, Zhang Cheng slashed forward, then couldn't help but howl: "Xianbei Murong Ke, come out! Xianbei Murong Ke..."

Looking at the man who was like an evil ghost, wearing long hair and looking for him, panic flickered in Xianbei Murong Ke's eyes.

Because this was the first time he had encountered such a monster on the battlefield; even covered in blood and seriously injured, he still wanted to kill him?

"How bold!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng coldly, Xianbei Murong Ke pulled out the long sword at his waist.

However, before Xianbei Murong Ke could charge forward, he was stopped by Xianbei Murong Chui beside him, who said in a panic: "Big brother, are you crazy? You are a general of an army, how can you go and fight recklessly!"

"We Yuwen Xianbei people never fear battle, do you think he can scare me?"

Roaring in anger, Xianbei Murong Ke was also enraged by Zhang Cheng's actions.

"Retreat, big brother, Jizhoucheng has sent troops, we have no chance anymore!"

Pulling Xianbei Murong Ke and shouting, Xianbei Murong Chui couldn't help but become serious.

"Retreat!"

Signaling to the messenger behind him, Xianbei Murong Ke thought for a moment and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Xianbei Murong Ke!"

Looking at the cavalry constantly leaving in the distance, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but move forward at this moment, but his body became heavy.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"

Stepping forward to block the Yuwen Xianbei personal guards, the Krieg soldiers fiercely launched a counterattack.

When the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Jizhou cavalry also charged into the camp.

Looking at the flames burning everywhere and the Yuwen Xianbei who hadn't escaped yet, the two sides began to fight again.

"Company Commander, are you okay, Company Commander!"

Rushing to Zhang Cheng's side in a panic, the deputy Company Commander couldn't help but panic.

"I'm fine!"

Pulling out the arrow on his shoulder, Zhang Cheng threw it on the ground casually, his eyes filled with scarlet expressions.

And just then, Military Head Wang also arrived with troops; when he saw Zhang Cheng, who was like an evil ghost, he couldn't help but be stunned and say: "Zhang Zhang Xinzhi, are you still alive?"

"Reporting to the Military Head, this subordinate is still alive!" Looking at Military Head Wang before him, Zhang Cheng hurriedly answered.

And hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Military Head Wang couldn't help but say: "To be in such a state and still be alive, it's truly strange!"

"Military Head, Xianbei Murong Ke has already led troops and fled north!"

Looking at Military Head Wang before him, the deputy Company Commander hurriedly shouted.

"I already know!"

Nodding, Military Head Wang said: "Send your Company Commander down, leave this place to me!"

After saying this, Military Head Wang roared: "Jizhou troops, listen to my orders, slaughter these Yuwen Xianbei dog thieves!"

"Kill!"

Letting out a roar, the cavalry began to circle the camp and slaughter them.

After leaving, Xianbei Murong Ke stood on a hill in the distance, watching the flames burn, his heart filled with coldness.

"Big brother, this defeat is not on you or me!"

Looking at Xianbei Murong Ke's gaze, Xianbei Murong Chui knew that they had truly met a ghost this time!

Think about it, that man had suffered thousands of wounds and could still kill his way to them; he was truly like the legendary Shi Min!

"No need to say more, defeat is defeat!"

!

Turning and leaving indifferently, Xianbei Murong Ke immediately said: "Next time, he will definitely die by my hand!"

A few days later in Jizhoucheng, Shi Zhi arrived with fifty thousand troops.

However, when he learned that the Xianbei Murong clan had been raided at night and driven away, a look of shock appeared on his face.

Because he couldn't believe that Xianbei Murong Ke of the Former Yan had led the army himself and had actually been blocked by Jizhou; originally, he thought there would be a great battle!

Inside the City Lord's Mansion,

Shi Zhi sat high in the seat of honor, light flickering in his eyes as he said: "Speak, how were you driven away by that savage Xianbei Murong Ke!"

"Reporting to the General, a few days ago, Xianbei Murong Ke led thirty thousand troops, was raided by my six hundred scouts, the army banner was snapped, and then they withdrew!"

Looking at Shi Zhi before him, Military Head Wang immediately explained.

"Six hundred raided the camp, snapped the army banner?"

Looking at Military Head Wang with suspicion, Shi Zhi immediately roared: "Do you take me for a three-year-old child? You think I'd believe such things!"

"Reporting to the Prince of Xinxing, this matter is absolutely true!"

Looking at the disbelieving Shi Zhi, the city lord beside him hurriedly echoed.

Because if he hadn't witnessed everything with his own eyes from the city wall last night, he wouldn't have believed it either.

You must know, among the four great merits of ancient times—beheading a general, capturing a banner, being the first to climb, and charging into the formation—Zhang Cheng had completed two of them: charging into the formation and capturing the banner.

And if he had completed beheading Xianbei Murong Ke last night, he would probably have become the first fierce general in history to possess three merits!

"Really?"

Looking at Military Head Wang in shock, Shi Zhi couldn't help but be stunned.

Because if this were true, wouldn't this person be comparable to Shi Min?

"Absolutely true, General, but currently, Zhang Zhang Xinzhi is seriously injured and seems to be still recuperating!"

Speaking to Shi Zhi, Military Head Wang explained.

"Crippled?"

Looking at Military Head Wang in confusion, the favor Shi Zhi originally had for this person dissipated rapidly.

"Most likely, after all, after he charged into the formation, he suffered heavy injuries..."

Looking at Shi Zhi, Military Head Wang's face showed an awkward expression.

"Since that's the case, then confer the title of battalion commander; my Great Zhao will not treat a fierce general unfairly!"

Waving his hand indifferently, Shi Zhi didn't say much more; after all, if a fierce general was crippled, he would be completely useless!

And looking at Shi Zhi, Military Head Wang seemed to want to say more, but was stopped by the city lord's gaze.

Because he saw that Shi Zhi had no interest in this person anymore.

Military Head Wang had originally wanted to recommend Zhang Cheng, but now there was no way.

Staying in Jizhou for half a month, Shi Zhi led his troops to the border due to military orders.

The two sides "fought fiercely" several times at the border, but finally chose to return without success; after all, once Xianbei Murong Ke wasn't engaged in close combat, the military talent he displayed was not something Shi Zhi could compare to!

And two days after Shi Zhi left, Zhang Cheng also woke up from his coma.

Because of the "Gift," his emaciated body grew taller again, becoming a true ancient strongman.

Twisting his neck, Zhang Cheng looked at the scars all over his body and couldn't help but exhale turbid air.

"Company Commander, you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him in disbelief, the deputy Company Commander stared at him in shock.

The original Zhang Cheng was emaciated, but now, his height was actually two heads taller than him; what was going on?

"Awake!"

Smiling, Zhang Cheng pushed the door open and went out, arriving in the courtyard, his eyes filled with flickering light.
