"No way, young commander, we only have so many elites. If they are all lost here, we will have no wealth." Liu Jingting hastily stopped him. He knows exactly what wealth is on the left. Indefensible.

"Go away! I've never lost before, I don't believe it." Zuo Menggeng was like a gambler.

The psychology of a gambler is not to admit defeat, in the eyes of Zuo Menggeng the previous so-called battles were all victories, even Jiang Xinzhou's defeat was just bad luck in his opinion.But tonight's battle has already touched his capital, and if he loses a little capital, he is eager to get it back.Even with all the price tag.

Gamblers don't understand such things as selling and stopping losses!

"It's over!" Liu Jingting looked at Zuo Menggeng who had already gone to the front line, deeply disappointed.

"Kill, kill me!" Zuo Menggeng yelled loudly, leading the people to rush directly under the city gate, even the guards slammed into the city gate fiercely with logs in their arms.

"Boom!" With a sound, the west gate of Anqing City was unexpectedly vulnerable, and collapsed to the ground within a few rounds.Stepping on the city gate that fell to the ground, the soldiers on the left entered the city in a swarm, the initial ease.

"Everyone, be careful there are frauds inside!" Zuo Menggeng personally instructed, he was afraid of encountering the trap just like the gap.

"Young commander, the ground inside is hard. There are no ditches, no traps, not even wooden stakes." The soldiers who explored the road shouted from a long distance, their voice seemed very empty, and there was even an echo.

"This is Wengcheng, young commander, why don't we retreat!" Wengcheng is not easy to attack, it is almost a trap specially prepared for the enemy troops who are attacking the city, even if there is no trench, the difficulty of attacking is greater than that of ordinary city walls.

"What are you afraid of, Jindu came in. Take a group of people to take a look." Zuo Menggeng hid under the city gate, watching Anqing City reluctant to give up.

"Young Marshal, is there such a big coffin here? Ah, there are dead people inside." The spy in front suddenly shouted, his voice was loud and clear, and the entire urn city seemed to be quiet.

"Dead?" All the soldiers who attacked were astonished. This is not an auspicious thing.

"War is not personal? What are you afraid of?" Zuo Menggeng became bolder. What kind of medicine is sold in this Huang Degong gourd? What does it mean to put a coffin of a dead person in the urn?

Chapter 169: Turning into Birds and Beasts

"Fire the torches and see what's going on." Zuo Menggeng wanted to see what kind of tricks Huang Degong was playing, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to light the torches.

As the torches were lit one by one, the situation of the entire Wengcheng was revealed.There is indeed no trap here, except for an obvious mourning hall in the middle, the surrounding area is empty.

The spirit-calling flags were erected all around, and the long white cloth was hanging down with the rain.The lid of the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall has been opened, and a large spiritual plaque is erected directly in front of the coffin.

"See what is written on it?" Zuo Menggeng glanced at it from a distance, but couldn't see it clearly.

The soldier walked up to the spirit tablet cautiously, and took a serious look at it with the help of a torch.

"Crack!" All of a sudden, the soldier's torch fell to the ground, and the surroundings became dark.The soldiers ran towards the gate of the city in a panic.

"Why are you running? What's written on it?" Zuo Menggeng slapped the soldier across the face and asked viciously.

"Yes...it's the commander's spirit seat. The coffin is filled with the commander." The soldier said tremblingly and frightened.

At this moment, countless torches were lit on the walls around the entire Wengcheng, and the four huge braziers next to the mourning hall ignited raging fires. The fires illuminated the entire mourning hall, and even the rain stopped suddenly.

"The position of Zuo Liangyu." The five large characters glaringly burst into Zuo Menggeng's eyes, and Zuo Menggeng's body softened, and he collapsed in front of a group of subordinates.

In the Jiangxinzhou battle, Zuo Menggeng only cared about running for his own life, and forcibly pulled his father's body onto the boat.Or maybe he never thought of taking his father ashore with him, anyway, the ship was captured by the Yangtze River Navy in the end.

The Yangtze River Navy firmly controls the defense line along the coast, and the communication with Anqing City has never been interrupted.Zuo Liangyu was a great gift from Zhu Youjian to Huang Degong.

"Shameless Zuo Menggeng, who killed his father and seized the throne, is unfaithful and unfilial, inferior to an animal." Around the Wengcheng, all the soldiers shouted together, the voice was so loud that almost the entire area around the west gate could be heard two miles away.

"Fake, fake. I didn't kill my father, he died of his own illness." Zuo Menggeng went crazy, these subordinates were not his cronies, if it wasn't for Zuo Liangyu, he would be nothing.

If Zuo Bu really knows that he killed Zuo Liangyu, I'm afraid he will be betrayed by everyone.

Zuo Menggeng was in a hurry to defend, but blurted out the truth. The Chinese soldiers looked at each other, then turned around and ran wildly, and fled out of the barren city like birds and beasts.

"Where are you going? Come back to me." Seeing that the people around him had almost run away, Zuo Menggeng shouted loudly while chasing them out of the city.

"Chasing!" Huang Degong finally couldn't bear it any longer, he knocked down the guards, rushed down the city, mounted his horse with a big knife in his hand, and chased after him.He rushed out alone, and in front of him was a group of rout soldiers. The scene was extremely beautiful.

"Run, the commander is dead." The rout soldiers fled to the front of the main formation on the left, shouting loudly.Except for Lu Guangzu, the other four commanders were also stunned?Why did the handsome die so well?

"What happened?" Li Guoying, the general soldier, stopped a deserter and asked anxiously.

"The commander-in-chief died of illness a long time ago, but the young commander kept it secret. The commander-in-chief's body was intercepted by Huang Chuangzi."

"No, the commander-in-chief was killed by the young commander-in-chief. The young commander-in-chief wanted to seize power, so he kept it secret."

"No, no. The commander ordered Huang Chuangzi to kill him, and the body is in the urn."

The three of them had three opinions. Anyway, Zuo Liangyu was dead, and the battle had been defeated.When the general soldiers heard this, they beat a fart, so hurry up and run away.The pursuers in the opposite city have all rushed out of the city.

The mourning army must be defeated!The truth of Zuo Liangyu's death is no longer important. Anyway, Zuo Liangyu died, which dealt a great blow to morale.

"Where's the military adviser?" Hou Fangyu asked in a panic. He admires Liu Jingting a lot now, and Liu Jingting is the backbone of everything.

"I don't know where I went. I guess I ran away early." Liu Jingting did indeed run away. After he saw Zuo Menggeng losing his mind and becoming a gambler, he already expected that there would be no future for Zuo Menggeng.

Hou Fangyu's heart sank, he quickly got on his horse and ran away.

Huang Shu was very thieves, and when he heard the cry of Zuo Liangyu's death from Anqing, he immediately changed into ordinary soldier's clothes, packed up some gold and silver, turned around and ran westward.

The people on the left were running around like headless chickens, and they couldn't tell the direction. Anyway, they kept running forward, and they didn't even know whether they were turning or not.

After running all night, Zuo Menggeng was really tired. When the sky gradually turned pale, he looked back and found that there were less than 2000 people left behind.

"Young commander, I really can't run anymore, why don't you take a break?" The people behind Zuo Menggeng are almost his confidantes, and the father's family has already been ruined. Hei, I'm afraid even my life will be lost in Anqing.

"Then let's take a rest first!" Zuo Menggeng himself wanted to rest, he couldn't run anymore, his butt was so painful that he had to be supported even when he dismounted.

"It's not good, there are pursuers behind." Zuo Menggeng found a rock and sat down, and someone reported back immediately.

"Quick, help me get on the horse." The panicked Zuo Menggeng stretched out his hand, intending to wait for someone to pull him, but unfortunately, everyone around him was in a hurry to run away, and no one paid attention to him.Helplessly, Zuo Menggeng withdrew his outstretched hand, gritted his teeth and stood up, limping onto the horse's back.

"Hiss!" As soon as his butt touched the saddle, Zuo Menggeng felt like a needle pricked his flesh.

"Young commander, don't leave, wait for me. I am Jin Shengheng, we are not chasing soldiers." Zuo Menggeng was just about to turn around when there was a shout from behind.

Hearing that it was indeed Jin Shengheng's voice, Zuo Menggeng carefully looked around and found that there were indeed no other pursuers, so he bent down and got off the horse on his stomach.

"Come on, young commander, let's eat some dry food and drink some water." Jin Shengheng handed Zuo Menggeng a piece of hard cake, Zuo Menggeng snatched it, and ate it in big mouthfuls, with a lot of snot and tears streaming down his face. began to cry.

"Where is this?" Zuo Menggeng asked with a sob.

"Huaining is not far ahead. I'm afraid there are defenders in Huaining. We can't go any further." Jin Shengheng's entire battalion was not damaged, but now it has become a bigger force on the left.

"Then let's go back south?" Zuo Menggeng heard that there were enemies in the north, and he was terrified to death, so he wanted to run south quickly.

"We can't go south, we came from the south." Jin Shengheng wanted to laugh, Zuo Menggeng might have been scared and confused.

"We should go west and enter the Dabie Mountains, so that the pursuers will not be able to catch up with us." Jin Shengheng pointed to the west, and some mountains were looming in the distance.

"Hmph! In the worst case, I'll invest in the later gold. As long as they give me a title, I will agree to them." Zuo Menggeng drank his saliva, followed his throat, and replied easily.
