NOVEL WEB Chapter 231 - Are You Preparing to Bury the Corpse?
“What's that sound?” On Yu Rong Street, everyone was listening attentively, their faces full of fear. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
“young master, if the city is broken…” An old woman was helping Tang Yue's patient wash his body. She raised her head and asked Tang Yue, who was calmly suturing the patient's wound.
This old man was the one who stopped Tang Yue on the way and asked him to bring his grandson back.
“Don't worry, matron. This city can't be broken.” Tang Yue made a knot and asked He to come over and apply medicine to the patient. Then, he moved to the side of a seriously injured patient.
“That's right. As long as the city is not destroyed, it will be fine as long as the city is not destroyed. My grandson still has a chance to live.” The matron used a calm tone to say that she had already passed the initial stage of panic.
Perhaps she had been infected by Tang Yue's emotions, but she was much calmer now. She was a good worker. She cleaned up the streets inside and outside. When she was free, she would help Tang Yue's patient wipe his body.
When saving people, she really wanted to have three heads and six arms. Tang Yue and the people he brought with him could not handle it at all. She could only rely on these volunteers to take care of the patients.
“Lady, listen. This voice belongs to us. We can be saved.” Tang Yue said with certainty.
“How did young master know? Could it be that his voice could tell whether he was a friend or an enemy?”
“Yes, because only the Black Armored Guard can have such neat and heavy horse hooves.”
The old woman naturally didn't know what kind of army the Black Armored Guard was, but from the sound alone, she knew that it must be very powerful. “That's good, chase away the enemy as soon as possible so that we can live a peaceful life as soon as possible.”
“Yes, the world will be unified. Once the South Jin is strong enough and the neighboring countries do not dare to invade, the people of the world will be able to live a peaceful and happy life.”
This goal was too far away for the old woman who had been suffering all her life. She had no idea what the South Jin looked like when it was strong. Of course, she didn't care about it. She just wanted her family to live a peaceful life, and that was enough for her.
Tang Yue could tell from her expression that what he said was too unreal. The civilians didn't care about the name of their country or who was sitting on the dragon throne. As long as they could live a peaceful life, they would have less taxes and less military service.
Tang Yue did not say anything else. The achievements of the emperor were judged by history.
Above the city, Crown Prince Zhao held a heavy sword and cut off an arm that was climbing up the cliff. When he heard the sound of the man screaming and falling, his expression didn't change at all.
Corpses littered the ground below the city. Corpses piled up like a small mountain, becoming the stepping stone for the attackers.
“Your Highness, you should retreat to the city. Observing this battle, our victory is already decided!” Yang Feng took a deep breath. His eyes were bright, and he was confident that he would win.
Crown Prince Zhao took a step back. The guards around him followed closely. They did not help Crown Prince because they did not feel any danger just now.
“I will watch as our soldiers win!”
“Master, the tunnel has been dug to the bottom of the city gate.” A soldier hurriedly ran over to report.
Yang Feng narrowed his eyes and looked down. He did not see anything suspicious.
When the left wing of the enemy was digging outside the city, he guessed that they wanted to enter the city through the wall. He did not expect them to do it.
“Do you know the exact location?”
The soldier pointed at an inconspicuous spot and said, “Based on what I heard, it should be in that direction. However, we still need to verify the exact location they dug.”
Yang Feng was a little worried. If the enemy successfully dug the tunnel and entered the city through the tunnel, it would not be impossible for the enemy to deal with them. However, without the protection of the city wall, their losses would surely increase.
Another way was to send someone out of the city and cut off their passage from the top of the tunnel. As long as the tunnel collapsed, it would be difficult for them to escape even if they wanted to. Not to mention the process.
After Crown Prince Zhao heard that, he gave a few orders to the guard beside him. The guard took out a small flag and waved it a few times. Suddenly, a small team from the Black Armored Guard broke away from the battlefield and moved in a certain direction.
When Yang Feng saw this scene, he curiously stared at the flag in the guard's hand. He wanted to know how he used this flag to send a specific message.
There were only a few types of flag language. The meaning was nothing more than advancing, retreating, attacking and defending left and right. He had never seen such an accurate flag language before.
A dozen or so heavy cavalry arrived at their designated positions. The horses circled a few times before a soldier jumped off the horse and leaned against the ground to listen for a moment.
Finally, he chose a position and waved to his teammates. The group of people exchanged glances and stood in a circle. They pulled out a small fireball from their belts and buried it in the ground beneath their feet.
Tang Yue's weapons were definitely the best in this era. In addition to the usual long swords and spears, each of them had two daggers, an iron hook, two fireballs, and a small bag of rations.
“Get ready… to break…”
“Bang…” The faint sound of explosions was not noticeable on the battlefield, but many people noticed the movement here.
The enemy general roared, “Stop them! Kill them!”
Taking advantage of his distraction, the Black Armored Guard who was fighting with him slashed at his head. This time, he did not move half an inch, but the enemy quickly dodged. The slash landed on his shoulder and cut off his entire arm.
“Ah… I'll fight you to the death!”
“Humph, you're courting death!” The Black Armored Guard successfully struck the snake and rod with one strike. They fearlessly welcomed the opponent's attack. The more they fought, the more courageous they became.
The enemy general had lost an arm, and tried his best to drag the enemy to death. However, time did not allow it, and the wounds were bleeding profusely. In just a moment, he felt dizzy and dizzy, and the pain penetrated into his bones, making it difficult for him to hold on.
“Die!” A low roar sounded out. The Black Armored Guard's long blade swept across the enemy general's neck, and a head fell to the ground. It rolled to the foot of a North Yue soldier.
The soldier did not take it seriously at first. It was normal to step on a human body on the battlefield, but when he lowered his head and was about to kick the head away, he saw a familiar face.
“General… General…” The soldier knelt down with a plop and picked up the head. He cried out in a heartbreaking voice, “This is impossible! … General is dead…”
Just as he was about to close his eyes, a knife pierced through his chest and was pulled out. He watched helplessly as the tip of the knife lifted the head. After that, he did not know.
“The general of North Yue is dead. Surrender now! The general of North Yue is dead. Surrender now! In an instant, these words floated on the battlefield. These words were like opening the gates of a dam. The enemy army was defeated like a tide. They threw down their weapons and ran away from the battlefield.
“Good!” Yang Feng shouted and laughed loudly. He raised his weapon and roared, “Boys, follow me out of the city and beat the drowning dogs!”
“Roar…” The army was excited. The heavy city gates were pulled open. The soldiers swarmed out and killed the enemies who had not retreated in time.
After being suppressed for half a month, there was finally a place to go. Naturally, no one would show mercy. Moreover, if they did not have such powerful reinforcements, the one who died under the blade would be themselves.
Only when the sky turned completely dark did Yang Feng give the order to return to the city. A portion of the enemy still fled. However, that was not important. Without the main general, no matter how brave they were, they would only be a pile of loose sand.
When Yang Feng brought his men back to the city, he almost stumbled and fell into a pit with his horse. Luckily, he pulled the reins in time.
He looked at the huge pit at the entrance of the city with his mouth agape. The pit was filled with corpses, and some people were trying their best to climb out. However, they were still stabbed to death by the Black Armored Guard who was guarding the edge and thrown back into the pit.
“Is this… preparing to bury the corpse?” Yang Feng thought to himself. Crown Prince's soldiers were too sharp and swift. They had already reached the step of digging the pit and burying the bodies.
“Master, have you forgotten? This is the tunnel that the enemy dug. It was blown up by the fire bomb.” A general scratched his head.
Actually, he did not know how this hole came out. It was as if he had heard a few loud noises. When everyone reacted, the pit was here. There were many people buried underground. At that time, they were standing in the pit. The dozen or so Black Armored Guard people who were standing in the pit were especially abrupt.
Especially when they saw their ferocious masks, everyone's hearts involuntarily trembled. The name of the Black Armored Guard was likely to resound throughout the world from today onwards. Who would be able to fight against such a strong and destructive army?
Yang Feng knew what was going on when he heard the fireball. It must have been the group of people who had intercepted the enemy who was digging the tunnel. After blowing up the layer of soil above, it naturally revealed the lines below.
As for why it was a big hole, it must have been because the enemy had thought too thoroughly when they were digging the tunnel. With ten thousand men working in the construction team, the tunnel that they dug was naturally not a single one.
“Haha… You can't bring yourself to live! Serves you right!” Yang Feng shot a few glances at the group of Black Armored Guard. He was extremely envious. If he had such a strong army under his command, he would not be the city lord of the Black Armored Guard. He would have brought these soldiers to fight the war long ago.
It had to be said that City Lord Yang had a heart that refused to accept his old age. Making achievements and establishing a career was probably the dream of every man.
