Empire

Chapter 8

As night fell, the noisy battlefield quieted down. A day of fighting had left corpses and blood all over the battlefield.

Chen Ziang sat limply on a gentle slope. His coarse cloth clothes were soaked with blood. The cold wind blew and he felt a chill.

The bodies of the Black Cavalry soldiers and the Qinghe Provincial Guard soldiers were lying around the gentle slope. Their bodies had become stiff.

Wang Hu and others were also lying on the pile of corpses with wounds, gasping for breath, and were glad that they survived.

Chen Ziang killed Zhang Chao, the commander of the Black Cavalry, and seized the camp flag of the Black Cavalry, turning the tide on the battlefield.

The rebels were originally shaky, but seeing that the commander of the Black Cavalry was killed and the camp flag was seized, their morale was greatly boosted. Under the command of officers at all levels, they immediately launched a counterattack against the army of the Far East Dynasty.

After several hours of fighting, the Far Eastern Dynasty's army was finally defeated. Although the rebels suffered heavy losses, they also killed nearly 10,000 Dynasty soldiers.���The remnants of the defeated army had already retreated to the camp several miles away.

The officers and soldiers of the uprising army were exhausted after fighting for a whole day, and they also suffered heavy losses. They no longer had the ability to continue fighting against the dynasty army.

"The wound must be treated in time. Once infected, the arm will be useless."

After a fierce battle, only more than 20 people of Chen Ziang's team of 100 people were left, and the rest were all killed.

Seeing these brothers who fought side by side with him, Chen Ziang began to guide them to bandage and treat their wounds after a short rest.

Because Chen Ziang knew that if these brothers had not helped him, he would not have been able to kill the battalion commander of the Black Cavalry Army.

"Brother Chen, you have done a great job today by killing the general and seizing the flag. You must treat the brothers to a drink later."

Wang Hu, the general of a hundred men, saw Chen Ziang busy bandaging his brothers and couldn't help but tease him, with a tone of relief after surviving a disaster.

"Drinking is a must. If it weren't for the help of my brothers, I wouldn't have been able to kill the general and seize the flag. If the leader wants to reward me, I will definitely not forget my brothers."Chen Ziang said with a smile.

These people came from the same village as him. After hearing Chen Ziang's words, the remaining twenty people also showed joy on their faces.

"Who is the brother who killed the general and captured the flag today?"

When Chen Ziang and the 100-man general Wang Hu and other survivors were resting and cleaning the battlefield, a messenger with a small flag on his back came over.

"The one who killed the general and seized the flag was my brother Chen Ziang!"

After hearing the words of the messenger, Wang Hu, the general of a hundred men, immediately stood up and shouted, and the brothers around him all looked at him with envy.

"Brother Chen, you have made great contributions. The leader invites you."The messenger quickly walked up to Chen Ziang and invited him politely.

Their uprising army was a combination of several uprisings, and the uprising was not long ago, so there was not much intrigue to grab credit.

Chen Ziang killed the generals and captured the flag on the battlefield, turning the situation on the battlefield around. Now that he has won a great victory, Chen Ziang has become an idol hero of the uprising army.

"Today, I was able to capture the flag thanks to the help of General Wang and other brothers, so can they go with me?"Chen Ziang said

"In that case, let's go together."

The messenger also admired Chen Ziang very much, and he agreed without thinking too much.

Chen Ziang's words undoubtedly moved Wang Hu and others. Although they didn't say it, Chen Ziang's image suddenly became taller in their hearts.

Soon, Chen Ziang and others took the captured heads and the captured Black Cavalry camp flags and followed the messenger to the direction of the camp. There were wounded soldiers everywhere along the way, but everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.

"Look, he is the brother who killed the general and captured the flag"

"It's amazing. If it weren't for him, we would all be dead today."......

Chen Ziang walked all the way to the central army tent, and the rebel soldiers along the way all looked at him with respect.

In the army, the soldiers admired the powerful the most, and now, Chen Ziang was undoubtedly one of the people they admired.

After fighting on the battlefield for a whole day, and killing nearly 10,000 dynasty soldiers, including thousands of elite black cavalry, for the rebels, this was a great victory.

Therefore, in the central army tent, more than a dozen rebel leaders, although covered in blood, had already started a celebration banquet.

These rebel leaders were all from the grassroots, so they didn't have so many requirements. After being hungry for a day, they were very happy to eat meat and drink wine.

"Report to all the leaders, kill Chen Ziang who captured the flag and bring him to"

"Let Him In"

""Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers guarding the central army tent entered the tent to report, and Chen Ziang was allowed to enter. As soon as Chen Ziang entered the tent, the aroma of wine and meat aroused his appetite, and his hungry stomach could not help but growl, making him quite embarrassed.

"Chen Ziang of the 30th Hundred-man Squadron greets all the leaders!"

After Chen Ziang stood still, he clenched his right fist across his chest and saluted the leaders who were eating and drinking.

When Chen Ziang saluted, a soldier had already presented the head and camp flag of the captured Black Cavalry Camp.

"You must be Chen Ziang, you killed the general and seized the flag, you did a good job!"

A leader was still chewing a leg of lamb in his hand. After looking at the camp flag and the head, he looked at Chen Ziang who was standing upright, and couldn't help but praise him.

"Yes, if it weren't for you, our rebel army would have been defeated today." Another leader echoed

"You have made great contributions today. Tell me what reward you want."

Finally, a strong man sitting in the first seat looked at Chen Ziang and asked with a smile.

This strong man was one of the three leaders of the rebel army. The elite sword and shield battalion was under his direct command.

"I dare not take credit for it. It was all our brothers who fought hard to kill the general and capture the flag. Now I am hungry. I hope the leader will reward me and my brothers with some wine and meat."Chen Ziang clasped his fists and said

"Hahaha, interesting, interesting."

Hearing Chen Ziang���After that, the leaders all laughed. One of the leaders with a goatee stroked his beard and looked at Chen Ziang with interest. No one knew what he was thinking.

"It's rare to be able to take credit for something without being arrogant."Another black-faced leader was also very satisfied with Chen Ziang.

"However, we have a clear distinction between rewards and punishments in our rebel army. You have made great contributions. If we only give you some wine and meat, wouldn’t it be a disservice to the brothers? I suggest that Chen Ziang be promoted to the commander of a thousand men, and the rest of the brothers will have their own rewards. How about that?"The goat-bearded leader cast his eyes on the other two big leaders.

"I have no objection."

The strong man leader took a bite of meat and waved his hand to show that he had no objection.

"I agree to let him be the commander of a thousand men."The black-faced leader also spoke.

"Thank you, leaders!"

Chen Ziang had never thought that he would be promoted from a small soldier to a general of a thousand men. He was so happy that he did not forget to thank you.

"All right, take a seat and celebrate today's great victory!" The goat-bearded leader immediately asked Chen Ziang to take a seat as well.

"Thank you, leaders, but my brothers are still outside and they haven't eaten yet."

Chen Ziang knew that this was a good opportunity to get closer to these leaders, so he didn't refuse. After all, there were thousands of generals in the rebel army, and it was an honor for him to drink and eat meat with the leaders. However, he still didn't forget that Wang Hu and others were waiting outside.

"I will have someone send wine and meat to them, you don't have to worry."

Seeing that Chen Ziang still remembered his brothers at this time, the goat-bearded leader nodded with satisfaction.
