The Era of Generals

Chapter 191   Heartbroken

Sunset on the west hills.

The bleak setting sun cast a radiance that made people feel hopeless, stretching Zhang Chengwang's shadow for a long time.

Even if he was just sitting, Zhang Chengwang's body was straight, like a javelin that could pierce the sky at any time.

This is what he has always maintained for decades, and it is also the first impression that everyone who knows him has when he mentions the name Zhang Chengwang.

But now, when everyone present once again saw Zhang Chengwang's upright figure as before, their noses couldn't help but sour.

The Zhang Chengwang they saw in their eyes was no longer the pole, flag, and military spirit standing proudly in the province of Nantes.

What they saw was the desolation of General Rimu!

Zhang Chengwang's attitude was already very clear.

he won't go.

The unlucky ghost that everyone was worried about staying as bait did not expect Zhang Chengwang to do it himself.

"My lord, we... can't live without you!"

The intelligence officer, who endured and endured, almost yelled out in a crying voice.

Everyone is silent.

No one dared to look at Zhang Chengwang at this moment, not to mention meeting his gaze, even his long shadow dragged by the setting sun.

It was no longer shrinking, but ashamed.

Feel ashamed of yourself.

Even remembering that they were still thinking about impeaching Zhang Chengwang just now, they wished they could slap themselves twice.

"Old Zong."

Zhang Chengwang looked at the chief of the military aircraft, and said calmly: "Although the military aircraft department should not be involved in commanding battles as a rule, you have the most experience here, so I beg you..."

He stood up from his chair and bowed deeply to the chief of the military aircraft named Zong Chengye, "The million soldiers will be handed over to you, please be sure to save them for the Zhuyan Empire and the Nantes Province." This power!"

Unexpectedly, Zong Chengye, who never expected Zhang Chengwang to make such a move, hurriedly turned his body to the side, not daring to accept Zhang Chengwang's bow, at the same time, he rushed forward from the side to support the opponent's arm, and said anxiously: " Commander, what are you doing?"

"When it comes to marching and fighting, who else is more experienced than you, and who can convince the crowd!"

"The province of Nantes cannot do without you, and we cannot do without you!"

He gritted his teeth fiercely, and said passionately: "If someone wants to stay, then let me come. It is only right for the coach to lead someone to break through!"

"No!"

Zhang Chengwang waved his hand to prevent him from continuing, and said in an unquestionable tone: "This matter is settled, there is no need to argue!"

"But..." Zong Chengye said eagerly: "Why should the commander put himself in danger?"

"Did you risk yourself?"

Zhang Chengwang spoke with sadness, pointing to the corpses all over the ground outside the city, "Then, what about them?"

"Why didn't they entrust their lives to me because they believed in me, the so-called coach?"

"But what did I do?"

He clenched his fists tightly again, and under the agitation of emotions, the ground under his hands was already stained red.

"As the coach, I didn't see through the enemy's strategy, leaving you trapped in an isolated city."

"As the coach, I knew that I would die, and I sent a large number of brothers out of the city to fight."

"As a coach... I have no reason to live any longer."

After a pause, Zhang Chengwang took a deep breath, scanned the crowd, and said, "You don't need to persuade any more. As a bait, there is no one more suitable than me."

"As long as I'm still standing on the top of the city, Zheng Yuanyun will never guess that Bo'an City has once again become an empty city!"

When the words reach this point, just keep silent.

Zhang Chengwang sat down, ignoring everyone's gaze, picked up the half-dried strong wine in the jar, raised his neck, poured another big gulp into his throat, and then spit out a mouthful of acrid wine, as if he wanted to relieve the boredom in his chest Spit out all the air.

There was one word he didn't say.

This time Nantes province can be said to have come out in full force. With such a large-scale manpower, material and financial resources used, this battle was a complete defeat.

How could he still have the face to live in this world?

Zhang Chengwang, Zhang Chengwang, who is revered as the god of Nantes army, has he ever suffered such a defeat?

The pride of being a soldier made him feel ashamed to live in the world anymore. In this case, he might as well go here. At the end of his life, he can still be loyal to the empire and leave a way of life for the soldiers who believed in him. enough!

"Act, don't let the brothers sacrifice their lives in vain."

Zhang Chengwang, who was not in the mood, waved his hands helplessly, and then stopped looking at his subordinates, but concentrated on admiring the afterglow of the setting sun.

………………………………………

"So why do we have to remember such ugly moves?"

At Chen Ze's barracks, Gu Qingfeng looked blankly at the decomposition movements drawn by Chen Ze on the paper.

"These are called tactical sign language. When performing tasks, it is inevitable that you will encounter situations that are not suitable for conversation. Then sign language will come in handy, and it will make it easy for your companions to understand what you mean."

Chen Ze explained patiently.

"Not suitable for conversation?"

Gu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, then looked back at his four companions, and said speechlessly, "We've never talked before!"

Chen Ze shook his head and said, "I know you have a good understanding, but wouldn't it be better to have this kind of sign language as an aid?"

Gu Qingfeng also shook his head, resisting: "But I will be distracted in this way."

"It's a habit!"

Chen Ze was also speechless, "Have you got used to it?"

"This needs to be cultivated. When you get used to signaling by using tactical sign language, it will be more convenient than you are now!"

Gu Qingfeng looked up at the sky, thought for a while, then suddenly winked at the person next to him, and asked, "What do I want to do now?"

The man laughed and said, "You're thinking about the hand you lost at noon."

"right!"

Gu Qingfeng nodded, "That's what I was thinking about."

Chen Ze: "..."

"not like this……"

He was a little powerless, and couldn't understand why Gu Qingfeng and the others were so resistant to new things, which were obviously better...

etc!

Chen Ze, who was about to explain to the five people again, suddenly froze, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of Bo'an City.

Although he was afraid that the other party would find that most of his camps were prisoners of war, the camp was still some distance away from Bo'an City, and he knew that his side was safer, but this did not mean that Chen Ze would be negligent in guarding against Zhu Yan's army.

Chen Ming led the scout team to guard the ambush point closest to Bo'an City around the clock, and the opponent's troubles could not be hidden from Chen Ming's eyes.

What's more, Chen Ze still has a cheating system map. With Chen Ming there, he put an eye in the front and lit up the map near Bo'an City.

So without waiting for Chen Ming to send someone to report to him, Chen Ze had already seen dense small blue dots surging from the map.

The direction is exactly the side of the barracks where he is stationed!
