Chapter 680: Tragic War
Translator: Rain Editor: Chrissy
Six hundred thousand men, thousands of generals…. All died in battle…
Song Jue wanted to say something, but he didn’t. After a while, he just sighed to vent all emotions and slightly said, ”Brothers have suffered…”
The middle-aged man gritted with his teeth but his eyes were red. He quivered and then finally couldn’t hold it anymore. Tears fell down.
He stepped forward and suddenly held Song Jue tight. He burst in tears!
A man barely weeps, unless he truly grieves!
The middle-aged man with a square face was the vice-commander Zhu Chenggong. He was sworn brother to the departed Western General Wu Gonglie.
At this moment, this tough man, who had lived most of his life in the battle, who had never cried, who had survived countless fatal dangers in the war, cried like a child with tears.
He never feared death.
He looked down upon men who wept.
However, at this moment, in front of Song Jue, he couldn’t suppress the sorrow in his chest no more. Tears covered his face. He cried out the emotions out of his chest.
Ye Xiao watched all this. He could only sigh deeply.
”Great General… died fighting in the battle…” Zhu Chenggong loudly cried, ”Six hundred thousand brothers. Less than one hundred thousand left! Seven thousand hundred generals in Western Army, two hundred and forty survive…”
”We have been holding up on this. We have been fighting for this moment. We have been waiting for you to come and avenge the Great General! To avenge the departed brother! If it fails…” Zhu Chenggong exclaimed to the sky with tears on the face, ”I, Zhu Chenggong, will die in grudge!”
”Revenge!”
Over two hundred generals who survived shouted at the same time. They were shouting with the last bit of power they had. They were shouting with their lives and souls!
”Our great Commander Wu must be watching us from heavens!”
The Iron Peak burst into shouts!
All that were left in the Western Army responded to the generals.
They were all showing face with tears!
In their eyes, there were wild glow of fierceness!
”Don’t mind me asking. What is going on with this battle?” Song Jue was experienced in battles. He used to be a capable general in the army. He frowned and asked, ”Wu Gonglie, Great General Wu was a specialist in battles. He might not be as good as Wenren Jianying, but not that much. If he kept holding the defense, I don’t think Wenren Jianying was able to break through you. Why? How come you suffered such a big crackdown? This is unreasonable!”
Zhu Chenggong gritted his teeth. ”There was a traitor!”
Song Jue and Ye Xiao urged him to tell the story and he did.
Wenren Jianying came close and Wu Gonglie knew he was fighting a stronger man in this battle. However, he didn’t show any weakness. Without hesitation, he chose to fight directly.
The two leaders on both sides were famous generals in the Land of Han-Yang. Wenren Jianying was the second while Ye Nantian was the No. 1. Wu Gonglie was far behind them both. He was obviously weaker than Wenren Jianying!
