After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Chapter 56: The God of the Chariots of Gaoliang River

The autumn wind is desolate.

Corpses lay strewn across the river, their blood fluttering like red ribbons.

Dian Wei had no way to avoid Long Chen's spear thrust, and it looked like he was about to have his neck pierced.

Phew!

A large halberd came hurtling through the air.

The halberd was swift and fierce, heading straight for Long Chen, aiming to force the enemy to defend himself!

Long Chen was shocked and hurriedly put away his spear, knocking the halberd away.

The halberd flew into the army, and the next second men and horses were thrown into chaos.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Chen Futu charged in alone, having used another Innate Peak Experience Card!

The War Dragon Halberd flew back, and Chen Futu raised his hand and waved it, making a cracking sound.

Several people ahead were cut in half at the waist, and severed limbs flew everywhere.

"This guy……"

Zhang Shouren's eyelids twitched, but Chen Futu was too fast. In a flash, he rushed in front of Dian Wei and swung his halberd down at the stunned Long Chen, "He has wounded my beloved general, kill him!"

Chen Futu's current strength is too great. He is at the peak of the Innate Realm and has also opened the Martial God Body. Long Chen simply cannot withstand this attack.

Long Chen instinctively raised his spear, only to be crushed down by the War Dragon Halberd. The spear was cleaved off his head, and he was severed from his neck to his waist, cut in two.

General Long has fallen in battle!

General Long has fallen in battle!

The Tianyun Army was instantly thrown into chaos.

Chen Futu looked at Dian Wei, who jumped up, his eyes full of excitement, "My lord, you've arrived!"

"Pick up the weapon."

"Here!"

Dian Wei was seething with anger. He picked up two swords and followed Chen Futu on foot, swinging and slashing wildly like a lawnmower.

The commander and his personal guard fought their way through, their momentum unstoppable.

Soon, Cao Zhen led his Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to attack.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry charged forward, taking away countless enemies.

"Follow me and capture Zhang Shouren alive!"

"Capture Zhang Shouren alive!"

When Cao Zhen saw that Dian Wei was injured, he was furious. His spear flashed like silver light, and the corpse flew everywhere.

Dian Wei retrieved his twin halberds and handed the old general over to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to be quickly sent back to Longcheng. Now that he was free of burdens, he mounted his horse like a raging tiger, ready to fight again with a surge of anger.

His twin halberds swung in a blur, cutting through enemy ranks with ease, as if he were in an empty field.

Tianyun's 10,000-strong army suffered heavy losses and retreated westward.

Chen Futu stood close to the Gaoliang River, glaring angrily at Zhang Shouren on the opposite bank, saying, "You're really something."

"Your Highness, why are you so angry? On the battlefield, it's always a matter of life and death."

"Zhang Shouren, today I will make you the God of the Gaoliang River, forever nailed to the pillar of shame!"

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon enough, but don't let me catch you."

Chen Futu spurred his horse forward, determined to find a bridge to capture Zhang Shouren.

Zhang Shouren sensed the danger and immediately led his cavalry to retreat.

The two sides raced across the Gaoliang River. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry abandoned their pursuit of the defeated army and, led by Cao Zhen, followed Chen Futu in a surprise attack to find a bridge, determined to capture Zhang Shouren today.

"Capture the traitor Zhang Shouren alive!"

"Capture the traitor Zhang Shouren alive!"

The battle cries of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry shook the heavens.

On the opposite bank, Zhang Shouren led 5,000 cavalrymen in a flight towards the western warehouses.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Futu's troops crossed a stone bridge and chased after Zhang Shouren.

The enemy's five thousand cavalry dared not turn back, after all, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were renowned throughout the world, and staying behind would only mean certain death for them.

This chase lasted all day.

In the end, Zhang Shouren still managed to escape, mainly because the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were heavily armored cavalry, which were not suitable for a long-term pursuit.

Chen Futu led his army to retreat from Longcheng and immediately had Zhang Shouren's record of being the "God of Chariots" at Gaoliang River published.

Moreover, he personally wrote it.

"It is said that Zhang Shouren was a heartless and ruthless villain who attempted to kill the old general Xu Mao, who had gone to persuade him to surrender. In the end, General Dian Wei risked his life to save General Xu. General Dian Wei fought his way in and out of Gaoliang River seven times, single-handedly killing countless enemies. Then the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry arrived, and Zhang Shouren's army was routed. Zhang Shouren then became afraid of fighting and drove away on a donkey cart, running for a hundred miles in one go, thus shaking off the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and saving his life."

The newspaper circulated in Longcheng, and every educated person saw it.

In just half a day, the name of Zhang Shouren, the "God of the Donkey Cart," spread far and wide. Even a three-year-old knew that Zhang Shouren could drive a donkey cart like lightning!

There are also rumors that Zhang Shouren slept with that donkey all day long and had a deep bond with it. When the donkey saw that Zhang Shouren was in danger, it risked its life to help him escape.

The most outrageous rumor is that the donkey was a female donkey.

"Chen Futu! I will fight you to the death!"

Zhang Shouren nearly vomited blood and died after receiving the Longcheng newspaper.

What does it mean to kill someone and destroy their heart?

Chen Futu, that shameless bastard, is supposed to be the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, yet he resorts to such despicable means to ruin his reputation.

Rumors of the legendary chariot god of Gaoliang River began to circulate in Tianyun City, even becoming a topic of conversation among the people. As a result, someone was captured and beheaded by Zhang Shouren's confidants, and the people of Tianyun City lived in fear.

"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! I'm so happy!"

After Dian Wei's injuries were treated, he grabbed a newspaper and grinned, revealing his front teeth.

Xu Mao is out of danger, but needs to be recuperated.

Qin Liangyu asked in surprise, "Where did Zhang Shouren's army get donkey carts?"

Liu Bowen replied sarcastically, "Does it matter whether it's a donkey cart or not? What matters is the power of public opinion. As the Crown Prince said, we should show the world what everyone wants to see. That's the importance of having a voice."

Even Yu Qian, whose face was usually icy, couldn't help but smile. "After this battle, Zhang Shouren's reputation has plummeted. I've heard that his men are still indiscriminately killing innocent people in Tianyun City. The people are terrified, and if this continues, their morale will collapse."

The story of the "God of the Gaoliang River" has been temporarily put to rest.

When Chen Futu met Xu Mao, Xu Mao's aged face was filled with complex emotions and resentment. "I never expected Zhang Shouren to make a move against me. Back then, I taught him everything I knew."

"General, there's no need to be angry. He's just a grasshopper in autumn, he won't last much longer. Throughout history, there have been countless examples like this. Don't get angry, it's not worth it."

Now, after this battle, Zhang Shouren's reputation is ruined, and the crown prince who betrayed the northern frontier is unpopular. Therefore, with just a letter from the old general, most of the important towns west of Longcheng will surrender without a fight.

Sure enough, three days later Chen Futu received news that, apart from the two important towns on the left and right of Tianyun Pass, all the other important town leaders had sent messengers to pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince and vow to kill Zhang Shouren.

Chen Futu drew all the troops from Longcheng except for those rewarded by the system, totaling 100,000, and stationed them in the western stronghold under the command of several fierce generals, including Li Huaifeng. They formed an encirclement around Tianyun Pass, waiting for a suitable opportunity to send Zhang Shouren on his way.

"Your Highness, the ruler of Western Zhao, Zhao Xi'er, is about to arrive in Longcheng."

Liu Bowen brought back a message.

Chen Futu was overjoyed. He had only mentioned it casually before, but Zhao Xier actually came in person!

This legendary king, who was said to be as beautiful as a femme fatale, had long wanted to experience it for himself.

"Your Highness, Zhao Xi'er is in danger. She is being chased by the Dragon Barbarians. Should we rescue her?"
