NOVEL WEB Chapter 246 - Prince You Are so Boring!
“Who is it?” A soldier had his head chopped off before he could see his enemy's face clearly.
Zhao Sanlang, who was dressed in black armor, stepped over the headless corpse and walked toward his next target.
“Ah…”
Miserable screams rose and fell. A small team of North Yue soldiers sent out a signal and retreated to the city wall while defending.
“Enemy attack…”
“Why are there enemies in the city? How did they get in?” The general of North Yue cut off the arrows that were shooting at him and ran downstairs. “Guard the city gate. Don't let them cross the lightning pool!”
Zhao Sanlang smirked. He took off the bow from his waist and aimed the arrow at the general.
“Whoosh…” The small arrow flew through the air and pointed at the general's face.
The future general's pupils shrank. He rolled down the stairs and avoided the arrow.
“Hey, I missed!” Zhao Sanlang's face under the mask made a face. He sensed the wind behind him and quickly dodged to the side. He raised the bow in his hand and blocked the enemy's attack.
“Die!” It was a low rank general. He had a fierce face and a tall body. He was holding a Guan Gong blade. He was very strong.
“Break for me!” The man's arm pressed down hard, wanting to cut off Zhao Sanlang's bow and arrow. In his opinion, how could this small weapon be resisted by his big saber?
Zhao Sanlang raised his eyebrows and looked at him sharply. He turned his other wrist and a small dagger appeared in his palm. He hooked one end of the dagger with his two fingers and waved his arm. The sharp dagger easily cut off the opponent's armor, leaving a trail of blood on his chest.
The opponent withdrew his strength due to the pain. He took three steps back and stared at Zhao Sanlang with 120% of his mind.
Zhao Sanlang put the bow and arrow back on his waist. He held his knife again and pointed at the man. “Come on. Let me see what you can do.”
“Ah… you're courting death!” The man licked his lips and held his knife with both hands. He rushed toward Zhao Sanlang.
Sparks flew in all directions as the two sides clashed. Zhao Sanlang did not use his full strength, but instead, he flirtatiously left numerous wounds on the other party's body.
“Stop playing. Time is of the essence!” Another Black Armored Guard finished the life of that little general from behind and pushed Zhao Sanlang. freewebnove(l)
“Noble Heir, you are so boring.” Zhao Sanlang stopped fooling around and asked Pingshun, “How is it? Can you handle it?”
“Of course. Sneak attacks are our forte.” Although they were trained as heavy armored soldiers, Zhao Sanlang and Pingshun received the harshest training. They could be said to be good at fighting alone. They would not lose to the enemy in a one-on-one fight.
“Then should we give His Highness a signal?”
A beam of fireworks suddenly rose into the air and burst into dazzling light. Both sides of the city and the outside of the city saw this dazzling fireworks.
“Not good!” The general of North Yue held his broken arm and shouted, “Hold on! Divide ten thousand men to deal with the enemies behind them. Don't let them open the gate!”
Crown Prince Zhao raised his right hand. “Our reinforcements are here. Attack harder. We must break the gate before dawn!”
“Reinforcements?” Some people did not know what was going on. All of their soldiers were here except for General Wang and General Hu. How could there be reinforcements?
I didn't hear that the Imperial Court would send reinforcements. However, no matter what, the word ‘reinforcements' was always pleasing to the ears.
“Haha… bastards of North Yue, get the hell out of here!”
“South Jin will win!”
“Charge!”
All of a sudden, the morale of South Jin's troops was high, and they shouted loudly. Soldiers climbed up the ladders one after another, climbed up the city walls, and fought to the death with the enemy.
“General, we can't hold on any longer. What should we do?”
“Bastard! What do you mean we can't hold on any longer! We have 50 thousand elite soldiers here, and we have such a strong city wall. The enemy only has a few tens of thousands of people. What can we use to break through the city wall?”
“But look, there seem to be more than 10 thousand enemy troops in the city. Each of them is equipped with excellent equipment and martial arts. We are not a match for them at all!”
“It's them…” The general of North Yue woke up. That black armor and the hateful mask, wasn't it the Elite Armament that defeated the soldiers of North Yue in Qinyang City?
Previously, they always thought that the rumors were too exaggerated and that General Dou was finding excuses for his failure and exaggerating the facts. Now, it seemed that there really existed such a frightening army in South Jin.
They were wearing heavy armor, and ordinary weapons could not be broken. They held sharp weapons that could cut through iron like mud. If that was all, they still had a way to win, but they were able to move and move freely under such a heavy burden. They had no idea how they did it!
“Don't think too much. Once the city gate is broken, we will really face a pincer attack from both sides. Now, we can only defend this city wall and wait for reinforcements to return!”
With this thought, everyone felt a little more at ease. They still had tens of thousands of reinforcements. As long as the two sides met up, in terms of numbers, they would firmly have the upper hand. No matter what Elite Armament or heavy armor he had, they had to stand aside.
“Steady! Steady! Don't panic. If you take a step back, you will die. Don't tell me that you want to die in Chuzhou City and be burned to ashes by the enemy?”
Roar… “The morale of the North Yue was boosted. No one was not afraid of death. Once they were weak and cowered, what awaited them was death. Rather than that, it was better to fight with all your might and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Zhao Sanlang cursed in his heart, “Damn it, you are really tough.” Being able to confront South Jin for many years, North Yue was definitely not a weakling. On the contrary, their combat strength had greatly surpassed theirs back then.
The number of people on both sides was equal. If they fought with all their might, it was hard to say who would win.
According to Crown Prince Zhao's estimation, their chances of winning were slightly higher, but the price they paid was also very terrifying. This was contrary to his original intention.
Even so, they had no way out. At this point, they would also die if they retreated. Now, they could only hope that Wang Dingjun and Hu Jinpeng could hold on for a while longer.
Just as both sides were in a deadlock, with heavy casualties, a commotion suddenly broke out in the city. It was as if all the civilians in the city had rushed onto the streets. There were both old and young men and women. They didn't have sharp blades in their hands. They only had tools like hoes and chopping wood.
“Chase these dogs out of the North Yue!” The leader was an old man with a walking stick in one hand and a shovel in the other. Without hesitation, he led his men towards the city gate.
“Chase these dogs out!” The people were furious. They formed groups of their own and attacked the enemies when they caught them.
Their combat strength might not be as strong as regular soldiers, but they had more people. They quickly shared the majority of the attacks for the Black Armored Guard.
Zhao Sanlang poked Pingshun and asked, “Hey, where did these people come from?”
“I don't know.” Ping Shun hooked up a long spear with the tip of his foot and kicked at an enemy ten meters away from him, saving a civilian.
“What a high level of awareness!” Zhao Sanlang muttered and quickly joined the battle. Even the ordinary people were putting their lives on the line. What reason did they have to be behind others?
“Go, I'll cover you. Take some of them to open the gate!” Zhao Sanlang led a group of people and rushed towards the gate.
Ping Shun followed closely behind. After running a few steps, he realized the armor on his body had affected his speed. He took off his armor and threw it to the side of the road. He held a dagger in one hand and rushed forward.
The team behind him also took off their armor and rushed towards the city gate at their fastest speed.
As a border city, the city wall was high and thick. Naturally, the city gate was not easy to break through. The deafening sound of impact outside lasted for a long time. It only left uneven marks on the city gate.
Ping Shun took out an iron hook from his pocket and threw it onto the city wall. After he hooked onto the wall, he jumped into the air and landed behind the city gate with a few leaps.
The guards here were the most strict. Ping Shun cut through the city gate and left many wounds on his body. Only then did he finally touch the cold city gate.
He glanced at the wall behind him. He counted twenty squares from top to bottom, then forty squares from left to right. Then, he gripped the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it into the stone brick. With a “click,” the iron chains on the city gate began to slowly straighten, raising the iron bolts on the back of the city bit by bit.
“Faster… Faster…” Ping Shun muttered to himself as he watched the iron bolt completely break away from the city gate. At this moment, the charging car outside the city also launched an attack on the city gate. The city gate was smashed open a crack and cheers came from outside.
“The gate is open… kill…” The moment the city gate was opened, the battle began to turn one-sided. The North Yue army surrendered and fled.
Wait! When Crown Prince Zhao entered the Chuzhou City and found out that there was no enemy he could fight against, he ordered his men to close the gate again and prepare for the next wave of attack.
However, this time, whoever was the rabbit would be the rabbit.
