Chapter 254 Winning
General Lei Shi didn't believe it and insisted on seeing it with his own eyes.
By the time he arrived at the front line, those soldiers had basically been wiped out.
"ah--"
"I will kill them! Massacre Ningguta and avenge my brothers!"
He was heartbroken and his eyes were red.
When the crowd heard him say this, they all raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Lei Shi held the reins tightly with his left hand, held a big knife in his right hand, and rode his horse to the front. The deputy general and personal guards behind him were all terrified upon seeing this, fearing that he would rush over and be blown to pieces.
"General!"
"There is danger ahead, we must take a long-term view." The guards shouted.
Lei Shi glanced behind him impatiently, and his speed increased, "What are you afraid of?! Go ahead!"
"General, no!"
"General, be careful!!"
The reason why he was called General Lei Shi was because his personality was as hard as stone. He was brave on the battlefield, but on the other hand, he was indeed unwilling to listen to advice.
"boom--"
“Oh—”
Just as he was about to rush over, there was an explosion in front of him.
The few remaining people were also blown away.
Lei Shi and others stopped in time. If they had been a little slower, they would have been blown away.
"This feud is irreconcilable!"
"I must massacre Ningguta!"
Lei Shi gnashed his teeth and let out a deafening roar.
…
At this time, Su Chengnan, standing on the Ningguta city wall, was holding a telescope and observing the movements on the opposite side.
She saw everything that happened as Lei Shi led his troops rushing over. Not only was the scene clear, she could even guess the general sound through the movement of his lips. And even if she couldn't understand his lip reading quickly enough, she could still tell from his old face which was as dark as an inkstone.
"Miss, this mine is really powerful."
"Yeah, it would be nice if we could just blow them all up."
The soldiers on the city wall kept praising him, but Su Chengnan was not so happy.
There are only about two hundred mines in total.
At present, the front few rows have been blown up, leaving only the last few rows or two of mines.
Although the enemy has been intercepted for now, if they send another large force, this line of defense will definitely not hold and will soon rush to the city gate.
Su Chengnan was worried.
"Qingshan, go and invite Chen Gang over."
"Now?"
"Yes, move quickly."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Qingshan said and left quickly.
Bingsan came closer and said, "Miss, you want to..."
Su Chengnan still held the telescope and looked into the distance, "Yes, since the thunder stone is here, let it stay." She said coldly.
…
Lei Shi led his army and kept wandering outside the defense line.
In front of him was a mountain of corpses, with countless blood gathered in one place, and even the wind was filled with a depressing atmosphere.
"Go to the nearby area and capture the people of Yong State!"
"Even if it costs human lives, we must pass this level!"
Lei Shi's voice was firm and decisive. Not only was he cold and ruthless, he was simply insane.
It’s a pity that Su Chengnan didn’t give him this opportunity.
She calculated that Lei Shi would go crazy and would even take a risk.
So they set up ambushes on the left and right sides of the main battlefield early on.
"ah……"
"What is that?!"
Lei Shi's deputy general pointed to the sky in confusion.
I saw dozens of kites rising from the direction of the city wall?
"These cunning Yong people! What do they want to do again?!" Lei Shi narrowed his eyes, but the next second he gave the order to speed up!
But just as the kite followed the wind and flew over them, a strange fragrance came into his nose. His heart sank and he shouted, "Oh no! Quick! Cover your mouth and nose!"
It's too late.
The poison from the spoon tail has been inhaled into the bodies of many soldiers.
The situation soon became chaotic.
It was even worse than the previous situation where he was blown away by gunpowder.
The cold blade was stained with the blood of his companion.
The clarion call for the troops to retreat was sounded in Ningguta.
The Yong State, which had not sent many troops to fight, retreated quickly.
Under the city gate, the only foreigners left were those from the White Bear Country.
Screaming, calling for help...
Kill with rage.
Su Chengnan stood on the city wall, looking at the scene of them killing each other below the city, feeling very complicated. Lei Shi was surrounded by his lieutenants and was on the verge of collapse.
"Miss, this is a brilliant plan!"
"We must not underestimate the enemy, it is better to be cautious!" Su Chengnan's heart was hanging and he couldn't let it go easily. Until the last moment, when he saw them retreat with his own eyes, no one could say they had won.
"Yes!" everyone answered.
Soon, everyone regained consciousness.
Start to continue the attack.
"Everyone get ready!"
"Three, two, one!"
"Shoot!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
The large crossbows fired even faster than before.
Wave after wave of shooting completely wiped out those who were still struggling.
…
“Give me your life!!”
"Wake up! Look at who I am!"
Lei Shi bit the tip of his tongue, trying to stay awake and resist the attacks from all around him.
He just kicked the person in front of him away and resolved the crisis in front of him, but unfortunately the person behind him swung his knife at him again.
"Hiss!" It hurts so much.
The pain made him dazed for a moment.
He suddenly forgot why he was here.
Why do you have to attack Yong State?
He wanted to go home...
…
Two hours later.
Below the city wall, it was like purgatory.
The corpses piled up into a mountain.
The blood flowed into a river.
It was dead silent.
But behind a thick city wall, the soldiers and civilians in the city were cheering.
"We won?"
“We won!”
"Oh my god, we actually managed to resist the 100,000-strong army of the White Bear Nation with just these few people?"
"I'm not dreaming, am I? Pinch me now! Even if it's a dream, please don't wake up!"
Countless people cried with joy and hugged each other and cried.
After a while, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Miss Su is amazing! If she hadn't come, we wouldn't have survived at all."
Even the soldiers defending the city, from top to bottom, thought so.
If it were the City Lord's Mansion in the past, it would never have done such a thing. It might even have directly opened the city gates and surrendered and rebelled. Moreover, he himself had the idea of treason!
If Su Chengnan hadn't led his men to discover the conspiracy and capture the White Bear Country's prince alive, this war would have come much sooner!
After this battle, Su Chengnan's image in everyone's mind became more sacred and important.
Especially the people here, most of them are educated!
However, through being exiled by the emperor, they have a deeper understanding of the imperial power, and they all instinctively like the current orderly and more democratic management of the City Lord's Mansion.
At this moment, they couldn't help but want to support Su Chengnan.
It’s just that Su Chengnan didn’t know.
