Chapter 783

In Jizhou, blood dyed the entire world red.

To avenge the soldiers of the Qihuo Army and the glorious generals of Great Wei, the slaughter of the city lasted for three full days.

When the corpses piled up like mountains before the city gate attracted mosquitoes and flies, Zhang Cheng ordered Deng Qiang to build a Jingguan (monument of heads) to warn all the Hu people!

Before row upon row of nameless cenotaphs.

Zhang Cheng looked at the names above and remained silent for a long time.

And the former Head Wang who recruited him into the camp, as well as the City Lord and others, were all buried here.

"Everyone is born of a father and mother, so why are there no names?"

Muttering in his mouth, Zhang Cheng could not help but step forward to stroke the tombstone, his eyes filled with memories.

He joined the army at fourteen; he did not hate Head Wang for making him fight as a slave, because at that time, living was just suffering.

Absurd and beautiful; this is the most terrifying evaluation of this era by later generations!

Because only by living here do you know what hell truly looks like!

"General, it's time to set off!"

Arriving before Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao could not help but speak.

"I know!"

Hearing the voice from behind, Zhang Cheng drew the long sword at his waist, sliced his palm, and said, "In this battle, I will definitely pacify Liaodong and slaughter the Xianbei!"

Saying this, Zhang Cheng sprinkled the blood on the tombstone, then turned and mounted his warhorse to leave.

And just after Zhang Cheng left, a wild wind blew the great banner, as if proving something!

Longcheng.

The Murong clan was currently holding an emergency court meeting.

As the leader of the Former Yan, Murong Huang's eyes were filled with solemnity.

Originally, they thought that by crushing Ran Min, they could completely annex Jizhou, but who could have imagined that Zhang Cheng, as a great general of Ran Wei, would abandon the struggle for the Central Plains and turn his army north for revenge!

"Zhang Cheng, this person, Murong Ke, you have fought against him, how do you evaluate him?"

Looking at Murong Ke, Murong Huang could not help but ask.

Because he had fought against the famous generals of the former Later Zhao, but Ma Qiu, Pu Hong, and others had all been executed by Zhang Cheng; Murong Huang was not clear about what kind of methods this person had!

Hearing Murong Huang's words, Murong Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Great King, Zhang Cheng, this person, has cruel methods and is a formidable enemy of our Great Yan!"

"How does he compare to Ran Min?"

Looking at Murong Ke, Murong Huang could not help but ask.

"Ran Min has courage to spare, but he believes too much in himself; however, this person is different, he can use unscrupulous means against our Xianbei!"

Speaking to Murong Huang, Murong Ke's expression became serious.

Because two years ago, the things Zhang Cheng did in Former Yan made many Xianbei people curse in anger.

Because this bastard is simply not a thing; calling him a human is an overstatement!

After all, things like leveling the wheels (to measure height for execution) were things even the Xianbei Murong clan had never done!

But Zhang Cheng started it for them, which was that in the tribe, as long as they were males, they were all to be beheaded!

"It seems this battle is dangerous!"

Hearing Murong Ke's words, Murong Huang could not help but become serious.

Over these years, no one noticed Former Yan, so they annexed Liaodong and also conveniently annexed the Yuwen Xianbei on the side!

That was why they had the idea of contending for the Central Plains; but who would have thought that just after defeating Ran Min, an even more ruthless Zhang Cheng would emerge!

Now the man has clearly laid out his horses and carriages, he is here to fight for his life; if they can't win, then they can only face the extinction of their clan!

"Summon the tribal cavalry; in this battle, crush him in one fell swoop and head south to the Central Plains!"

Thinking of the rich Central Plains, the leaders of the various Xianbei tribes immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Great King!"

On the Liaodong plains, dark clouds rolled.

Heading all the way toward Longcheng, the Chiliang Army stirred up a monstrous slaughter on the grassland.

Different from previous periods, Zhang Cheng came this time to shave the heads of the Xianbei Murong clan!

He wanted to behead all the Xianbei Murong clan and completely sever their bloodline!

Dragon flags fluttered, and suddenly a whistle came from the front.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Cheng immediately waved his hand forward.

"Whoosh!"

A cavalry unit charged out, quickly rushing toward the front.

Not long after, when the cavalry, their armor stained with blood, returned, they immediately said, "General, we encountered Xianbei scouts thirty miles ahead, and they are already heading toward our army!" Hearing the cavalry's words, Zhang Cheng said indifferently, "How many people does the enemy have?"

"Dark clouds covering the sun, there are about eighty thousand cavalry!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, the scout became serious.

And hearing this, Zhang Cheng had the battle map appear in his mind.

As scarlet light flickered continuously, various intelligence information appeared on it.

"Go to Mount Tianxiu!"

Speaking to the crowd behind him, Zhang Cheng became serious.

"Yes!"

Following the turning of the great banner, the sixty thousand Chiliang troops immediately began to march toward Mount Tianxiu!

Two days later, at the foot of Mount Tianxiu, the Chiliang Army had already set up its posture to welcome the arrival of the Former Yan army.

Looking at the Chiliang Army with flags fluttering ahead, Murong Ke's eyes could not help but flicker.

Because he could never have imagined that the person who dared to lead six hundred cavalry to raid the camp two years ago had now actually become a "famous general"!

However, Zhang Cheng's fame was not a good name, but a bad name, a notoriously bad name!

Compared to Ran Min, his reputation was even stinkier now!

After all, everyone knew that the thing about leveling the wheels was invented by him first!

!

"Zhang Cheng, you still have a chance now; surrender to our Great Yan, and we will give you generous treatment!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in the distance, Murong Ke suppressed the killing intent in his heart and roared.

Hearing Murong Ke's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "The great battle is about to begin, why must you and I be so hypocritical? Murong Ke, I have wanted to kill you for more than a day; you should have died back then, but you escaped very quickly!"

Having said this, Zhang Cheng continued, "But you escaped, and your younger brother Murong Chui didn't have such good luck!"

Raising his arm, Zhang Cheng pushed out a giant cauldron in front of the entire Former Yan army.

And above the giant cauldron, a person was hanging; it was none other than Murong Chui.

Watching this scene, many Former Yan generals roared one after another, "Zhang Xinzhi, are you a beast?"

"Who among us is the beast, don't you have any idea in your hearts? Treating us Han people as two-legged sheep, low-class people, 'boil the fire, don't envy the sheep, rot to the bones'—didn't these words come from the mouths of you beasts!"

Roaring in anger, Zhang Cheng raised the long sword in his hand and said, "Cook him for me!"

Before the pot of hot oil, Murong Chui kept falling, his mouth seemingly trying his best to curse something.

But facing Murong Chui's screaming, Zhang Cheng seemed to have heard some beautiful music and said, "Did you hear that? Murong Ke, your younger brother is wailing! Ah ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Former Yan generals roared one after another, their eyes filled with anger.

And after Murong Huang saw this scene, his heart and gallbladder also split, and he said, "All generals, obey the order: in this battle, we must kill this beast!"

"Yes, Great King!"

Looking at Murong Huang, the Former Yan generals roared one after another.

And just at this moment, Zhang Cheng roared from far away, "Murong Ke, do you want to taste your younger brother's flavor? I specially had people wash him; are you sure you don't want to try?"

"Zhang Xinzhi! I swear to kill you!"

With his gums bleeding from clenching his teeth, Murong Ke was completely furious now.

Because the younger brother who used to follow behind him had actually been defeated so miserably and was even cooked right in front of his face!

But facing the furious Murong Ke, Zhang Cheng roared, "Come and fight!"

"Come and fight, come and fight!"

War drums echoed through the clouds, and the Chiliang Army roared one after another.

And just at the moment when the two sides looked at each other again, thunder roared continuously in the sky, as if predicting the arrival of death!
