Chapter 244
A flash of cold light flashed before his eyes.
Zhao Bi just tightened the spear in his hand, and felt a chill on his neck.
The whole head was cut off directly.
When he died, he also saw his headless body.
The head fell to the ground, and the demon king Chi Lian reached out to pick it up, intending to throw it in when he attacked Dingtian City next time.
Let those human ants have a good look.
As for the remaining human race here, they were instantly killed by other demons.
The Li Kingdom has also reached the capital and is about to be destroyed.
Chi Lian carried the head and planned to find other demon kings to join.
Suddenly a sword light swept over.
It was so fast that it was impossible to dodge, and it directly cut off the arm holding Zhao Bi's head.
Shen Yuze and his three companions followed with swords.
After seeing the appearance of the newcomer, the disgust on Chi Lian's face began to stiffen.
I wanted to pick up the broken arm.
However, he was repelled again by Li Dongguan's flying sword.
Shen Yuze walked over slowly, held Zhao Bi's head with both hands and pieced it together with the body, and temporarily sewed it with talismans.
Unfortunately, half of the leg was still missing.
"Jingxian, Li Jianxian, do it directly, don't let this beast leave alive."
Shen Yuze's murderous intent suddenly rose.
Seeing this, the demon king Chi Lian didn't dare to fight hard at all, thinking that Su Jingxian alone could kill him, not to mention the addition of Li Dongguan.
He wanted to transform into a demon and escape from the mountain.
As a result, he just turned into a demon state of a red-refined giant python, and Su Jingxian cut off the snake body with a sword.
Li Dongguan's sword was flaming.
In an instant, it fell on the snake's head.
It looked like a seven-foot-long sword, but it directly pierced through the huge snake head.
Then, half of the snake's body was ignited with flames.
Su Jingxian also took out the beast's demon pill and prepared to take it back to Shen Yuze to repair his true qi foundation.
In front of two warriors with extremely strong killing power, any demon king would die.
There is nothing surprising about this.
Shen Yuze looked towards the direction of Li State, and the bodies of soldiers everywhere in the valley.
"Retreat, there is no point in staying here, the monsters will counterattack later."
The two nodded solemnly.
Shen Yuze personally carried Zhao Bi's body and flew back to Dingtian City on his sword.
When he landed on the top of the city again.
When the soldiers saw this, they were all stunned, and their faces gradually showed disbelief.
Shen Yuze looked at Li Dongguan.
"Li Jianxian, call Zhao Liang over."
"Okay."
This situation was unexpected for Shen Yuze.
He felt that this battle would definitely be risky, but Zhao Bi's death was unexpected.
After Zhao Liang heard about his father's death.
This young man who had entered the Dayun Cabinet broke down and cried on the spot.
Plop!
Zhao Liang knelt in front of his father Zhao Bi's body.
Others could only mourn in silence and could do nothing.
After a long time, Shen Yuze spoke up: "The demon king Chi Lian who killed General Zhao has been killed by Miss Jingxian and Li Jianxian. We were a step late at that time and almost saved General Zhao."
There is really no way!
Seeing Zhao Bi's defeat, Shen Yuze's first feeling was anger, but he also rushed to rescue him as quickly as possible.
But at that time, the demon king Chi Lian had already reached the valley.
Zhao Liang turned his head, his face full of tears.
"Your Highness... my father brought 30,000 heavy cavalry! How could he become like this!"
Shen Yuze originally didn't want to say this in public.
Zhao Bi was responsible for all the crimes of this battle!
However, considering their friendship in the past years, and the friendship between him and Zhao Liang, Shen Yuze wanted to cover up the defeat for Zhao Bi and let him die with dignity.
Since Zhao Liang asked in public.
Shen Yuze had to tell the truth.
Zhao Liang had actually guessed it, but he didn't want Shen Yuze to be accused of protecting a "defeated general".
Defeat is defeat!
Zhao Bi couldn't blame anyone else for his defeat and death.
Shen Yuze didn't see the defeat himself, but judging from the traces on the battlefield, anyone with a little military experience would know.
It was basically Zhao Bi who wanted to take risks to pursue the victory, and then he got out of it and was ambushed by the demon army, resulting in the annihilation of his entire army!
Zhao Liang was angry and sad.
He was even so angry that he cursed directly at his father Zhao Bi's corpse.
"Dad! Why are you so impulsive!"
"Those were 30,000 soldiers! 30,000 elite soldiers!"
"You burned them all to ashes!"
Shen Yuze personally stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Liang, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Zhao Liang, the account is settled when the person dies, and the merits and demerits are offset."
"General Zhao has an unshirkable responsibility."
"But it was those monster beasts who killed him, and it was also the monster beasts who caused the destruction of 30,000 soldiers. Let General Zhao rest in peace."
War, people will die after all.
Zhao Liang was previously appointed by the court as the general of demon-slaying, and was second only to Shen Yuze in the army.
His death would inevitably cause a blow to the morale of the army.
Shen Yuze felt very bad.
If I had known this, I should have gone there in person!
Li Kingdom cannot be saved.
The main force of the demon clan should have started to counterattack in the near future.
Zhao Liang was very sad.
But it was clearer that the war situation had once again entered an extremely tense stage due to Zhao Bi's impulsiveness and recklessness.
At this point, grief was useless.
Zhao Liang wore mourning clothes and dug a grave for his father in the city.
After that, he endured the grief in his heart and entered the military tent to discuss matters. He was afraid that the mourning clothes on his body would bring bad luck, so when he was about to take them off, Shen Yuze held his hand.
"It's not the way of a son to take off the mourning clothes before the seventh day has passed?"
"Wear it."
Zhao Liang looked at Shen Yuze gratefully and slowly put down his hand.
Most of the generals were Zhao Bi's old subordinates, and they were weeping.
Zhao Liang saw this and cursed: "What's the use of crying! If crying was useful, so many people wouldn't have died!"
"Save your energy for crying!"
"Kill a few more people! This is worthy of King Yu, those dead soldiers and all kinds of heroes!"
Zhao Liang knew that even if his father Zhao Bi didn't die this time.
Shen Yuze would definitely execute him by military law.
He didn't dare to mention his name at all.
The generals also held back their tears.
Shen Yuze sighed when he saw this.
"Alas..."
"General Zhao's guilt should be handed over to the Ministry of War for assessment, we just need to fight."
"Everyone, let's discuss how to stop the next attack of the demon tribe."
The 30,000 heavy cavalry that were lost were the main elite forces in Shen Yuze's hands.
Now, it is more difficult to defend the city.
Dingtian City is in danger.
After discussion, Shen Yuze planned to gradually abandon Dingtian City and retreat to the third line of defense in Beiliangzhou - Zangyanggou.
Only a small number of people were left in Dingtian City to monitor the movements of the demons.
"Zhao Liang, you will arrange the gradual retreat."
"I obey your orders!"
Shen Yuze looked at another fourth-rank general Wu Lie and said, "General Lin Lie, I can only leave you 5,000 soldiers to defend the city. You must fight for three days!"
"I will never let King Yu down!"
