The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

You guys, stop!

As the first ray of sunshine rose in the morning, Zhao Chen and the four of them saw a group of Tang soldiers appearing in front of them.

It's just that these Tang soldiers all looked panicked, their armors were in pieces, and many of them even lost their weapons.

Obviously, this is a defeated army of the Tang Dynasty in Cangzhou City.

Maybe even a deserter.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty on the opposite side saw that there were only four people in front of them. They were a little panicked at first, but now they were shocked.

What do you want to do?

If you want to survive, get out of the way, otherwise... the leading soldier said with a gloomy face.

They were deserters who escaped from Cangzhou City.

Now that someone is stopping me here, I can't help but feel scared.

If their affairs were spread, let alone their lives, their family members would also be humiliated.

Therefore, the few people in front of us must be dealt with.

Several soldiers looked at each other and understood what they were thinking.

Several people held weapons and surrounded the four of Zhao Chen.

This horse looks good, boy, come down. The deserter pointed at the horse under Zhao Chen with a ferocious look on his face.

Sweat-blooded horses are not common. Ordinary soldiers have never heard of them, let alone seen them.

But the sweat horse is taller than ordinary horses, and deserters can still see it.

Kill them. Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo waved their hands.

Boy, you are seeking death.

Brothers, kill them, take their horses and return home. The leading deserter was furious.

Originally, he wanted to kill the four people in front of him.

In the end, this guy actually dared to talk about killing himself!

Several deserters immediately waved their weapons and slashed at Zhao Chen and others.

The other deserters behind him didn't know what was happening.

All he saw was blood flying in front of him, and within two breaths, the deserters on his side were killed.

The body fell to the ground without any movement.

He...they died

Already? A deserter came back to his senses, his eyes full of fear.

They... who are they? A deserter looked at Zhao Chen and the others in panic.

Let your leader speak out. Zhao Chen glanced at the deserters in front of him coldly.

Everyone who was glanced at by his gaze was shocked.

Everyone felt that if they dared to say no, the person in front of them would take their lives.

A deserter captain walked out of the crowd and stood under Zhao Chen's horse, his face full of nervousness.

He had just recognized Zhao Chen.

In the army, all the captains of each battalion had met Zhao Chen before.

He just thought that if he didn't capture Zhao Chen, he would be accused of being a deserter.

Therefore, he did not come out and only thought about how many people could kill Zhao Chen.

but……

My subordinate Ge Da, the Colonel of the Fifth Battalion of the Rear Army Lancers, pays homage to General Zhao. The Colonel spoke up and paid homage to Zhao Chen.

You know me. Zhao Chen squinted his eyes, his gaze a little cold.

Now that he knows himself, he dared to remain silent just now. This guy clearly did it on purpose.

General Zhao, forgive me. I didn't notice it, so...that's why... The captain did not dare to say that he had recognized Zhao Chen a long time ago.

Otherwise, Zhao Chen would definitely not let him go.

We were fighting on the front line, and you became deserters? Zhao Chen asked again, and the hundreds of people in front of him were immediately startled.

General Zhao Mingjian, we are not deserters, we were just scattered.

If possible, of course we are willing to continue fighting for Datang, but...

In that case, then you go back with me, general, and continue fighting for the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Chen followed the captain's words.

His right hand is already holding the sword at his waist.

As long as he shakes his head and refuses, the sword will be unsheathed and it will be ready in an instant.

took his life.

The captain was stunned for a moment, and then found Zhao Chen staring at him.

He knew very well that if he showed any objection, he would definitely die here.

Going back is death, and here is death.

It's better to go back, maybe they can live for two more days, and the family won't have to be implicated because they deserted.

Yes, General Zhao, my subordinates are willing to follow General Zhao and return to the front line. The captain had no choice.

After careful consideration, I had no choice but to agree to Zhao Chen's request.

Soldiers, the man in front of us is the famous General Zhao Chen Zhao.

General Zhao said, let us go back and continue fighting those bastards in Goguryeo.

I believe that with General Zhao here, we will definitely win. The captain turned around and shouted to the soldiers in front of him.

Knowing that the person in front of them was the legendary Zhao Chen, the looks in the eyes of many soldiers still flickered.

But calm soon returned.

It was obvious that they no longer had any expectations for the battle in front of them.

Cangzhou City was gone, and the army was being chased and beaten.

One Zhao Chen can change everything?

…

Encountering several more waves of deserters on the road, after taking them under his command, Zhao Chen gathered a team of nearly a thousand people.

Less than fifty miles away from Cangzhou City, Zhao Chen could see thick smoke rising in the sky from a distance.

General, we found a team ahead. Judging from the flag, it should be the main force of our army. The soldier came back and reported the movement ahead with Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen nodded and waved everyone to stop again.

Let Li Ke and Qin Huaiyu stay here while he took Cheng Chumo and ran forward.

You have to go and see for yourself whether it is the emperor or the others in front of them.

After running for about five miles, Zhao Chen and Cheng Chumo finally saw the main force of the Tang Dynasty retreating from Cangzhou City.

That's the whole army

Not in very good condition.

Everyone looked listless.

Stop. Zhao Chen immediately blocked the way of the army.

But the soldiers who were leading the way were startled.

Although they lost the battle, they never expected that anyone would risk their lives and dare to block the way of the army.

you……

Zhao Chen! Xu Shiji's surprised voice interrupted the soldiers in front.

Xu Shiji's face was filled with joy.

Although he had never told Li Jing or the emperor about his expectations for Zhao Chen.

But in his heart, he always thought that Zhao Chen could come from Chang'an earlier to turn the tide.

Seeing Zhao Chen again at this moment, Xu Shiji didn't know how to describe his excitement.

Xu Shiji jumped off his horse and trotted to Zhao Chen.

Quick, go with me to see your majesty. Xu Shiji and Zhao Chen said.

The soldiers around him quickly moved out of the way.

Zhao Chen, Xu Shiji, and Cheng Chumo walked toward the Chinese army.

That General Zhao? Hasn't he returned to Chang'an? A soldier asked in surprise.

It's that General Zhao. I didn't expect him to come back again.

With him here, we might be saved. The soldier next to him said.

Thinking about Zhao Chen's previous performance on the battlefield, everyone heaved a sigh of relief for no reason.

But it dispersed quickly after that.

Everyone knows very well that with the current situation, even if Zhao Chen comes, what can be changed?

Cangzhou City is gone, and there is no longer any dangerous place to defend in the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.

It is really difficult for Datang to get through this crisis.

Zhao Chen followed Xu Shiji and listened to Xu Shiji talking about the recent situation on the front line, with a somewhat gloomy look on his face.

Zhao Chen, our Tang Dynasty is in a critical situation now. We have all lost our wits. This time, we really need you to turn things around. Xu Shiji suddenly stopped and said solemnly to Zhao Chen.
