Chapter 256 The Cruelty of War

Su Hanchu handed the telescope to Jun Moye and reached out to catch a snowflake falling from the sky.

“I didn’t expect that the first runxue of the year would actually be here to fight.”

Jun Moye looked at the northern wing army approaching from a distance. The dark mass showed that they had already prepared their troops and were ready to fight again. He didn't know when Tianyuan's reinforcements would arrive.

"Beat the drums, prepare for battle..."

As Jun Moye gave the order, the soldiers in the northwest held arrows and crossbows and were ready to go. Some soldiers looked at the stones under their feet, waiting for the northern army to attack and then smash them down hard. Some people held large forks and waited for the ladder to be placed on the city wall before stabbing it out.

When the thousands of troops on the northern wing galloped to a place not far from the city wall, several eagles also circled in the sky, making loud cries.

The snowflakes falling from the sky became denser and denser, and the cold wind made people's faces hurt.

The Northern King drew out his sword, his face filled with murderous intent.

"Northern Wing troops, listen! The Khan has ordered us to capture Tianyuan's northwest as quickly as possible. This battle has dragged on for too long. We must capture the city walls today. Anyone who retreats will be killed on the spot."

The northern wing army waved its flags.

“Yes, kill… kill… kill…”

“Go ahead…”

“Go ahead…”

As the army on the north wing rushed forward with the stairs, the carriage equipped with large sharp iron spikes also slowly moved forward. This special carriage was not simple at first glance. There were thick iron plates on the top and the front sides, which could block the shooting of sharp arrows. The soldiers responsible for operating the large iron spikes were protected by this special carriage.

As the northern wing army rushed over, Jun Moye took the bow and arrow and slowly gave orders.

"Listen to my command, prepare to shoot arrows and set the ravine on fire..."

As some of the war horses and attacking chariots on the north wing approached the ravine, Jun Mo's sharp arrows, with flames burning on them, rushed out in an instant and shot into the ravine with a whoosh. The arrows in the hands of Li Xiao and others also followed closely and were firmly stuck in the hay in the ravine.

Suddenly, flames broke out in the ravine dozens of feet wide.

The unsuspecting soldiers of the Northern Wing Army were caught off guard by the fire, and the soldiers at the front were covered in flames.

The snowflakes exposed in the air were evaporated before they could get close to the flames.

"ah………"

"ah………"

Screams immediately rang out across the wilderness, and even the mournful neighing of war horses filled the battlefield.

The Northern King was riding on a Ferghana horse in the back, looking at the raging fire that suddenly broke out in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, filled with tremendous anger.

Geshu Yan spoke angrily.

"It's Jun Moye again, the Northern King. We must kill him this time. If we are defeated, our Northern Wing will truly become the laughing stock of the world."

As the bravest warrior on the grassland, the King of the North is not only good at using a big knife to kill people as easily as killing chickens, but also has a bow and arrow that no one can match.

He suddenly took the bow from the horse's back, took out an arrow from his waist, drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go.

At the same time, on the northwest city wall, Jun Moye had already aimed the sharp arrow in his hand at the Northern King in the distance. To catch the thief, one must first catch the king. If the king could die from the arrow, the morale of the Northern Wing Army would definitely be greatly reduced.

“Swoosh…”

“Swoosh…”

With two sharp sounds of breaking through the air, two sharp arrows crossed in the air and flew away with great momentum.

Geshu Yan suddenly raised his shield to block the sharp arrow shot by Jun Moye.

"Beijing King, be careful..."

With a "clang..." sound, the sharp arrow shot by Jun Moye was blocked on the ground.

On the city wall, Jun Moye had already swiftly dodged the sharp arrow shot by the Northern King by turning sideways. The arrow hit the city wall behind Jun Moye and slowly fell to the ground.

When Geshu Yan saw that Jun Moye actually dodged, his eyes were cold.

"What a great Jun Moye! He was able to dodge your arrows, King Bei."

The Northern King spoke in a cold voice.

"If this boy grows up over time, he might become a formidable enemy for our northern wing. We must get rid of him this time."

The sound of horse hooves came again from behind Beiyi Jun.

Geshu Yan spoke with surprise.

"Northern King, reinforcements have arrived."

The King of the North looked up at Jun Moye on the city wall and gave orders with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Send a team of men to get some soil and put out the fire in front of the northwest tower, then attack. Pass the order down that Jun Moye's head must be cut off today. The warrior who kills Jun Moye will be directly promoted to the position of Tash."

On the northwest city wall, Su Hanchu stood beside Jun Moye, looking into the distance with a telescope.

"Jun Moye, this is bad, they have reinforcements."

Jun Moye took the telescope from her hand and looked into the distance with his eyes gloomy.

"This battle will probably be a fight to the death. We only have 80,000 men, and about 10,000 of them are injured. I estimate that the northern wing has at least 200,000 men now, and we don't know how many reinforcements they have."

Su Hanchu also looked a little worried.

"I don't know when the imperial court's reinforcements will arrive."

Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice.

"If the troops are dispatched in time, they should arrive in two or three days based on the distance. If they are not dispatched in time..."

The rest of the words were not spoken, but Su Hanchu understood them. If the person in power is not virtuous, the northwest may not be able to be defended.

As time passed, some of the northern wing troops took up shields, while others got soil and covered the ditch.

Jun Moye gave the order in a deep voice.

"Prepare your bows and crossbows..."

Following the order, the sharp arrows in the crossbows flew out like a rain of arrows...
