Chapter 253 Morale
The Ningguta garrison consisted of 3,000 troops, and together with all the officers and soldiers, there were about 4,000 people.
At this time, everyone was fully armed and guarding the city gate waiting for Zhong Yinghan's transfer order.
"You guys go and help as well. Protect General Zhong and Mr. Sun."
"Don't worry, Miss. I will do my best!" Yi Er and others clasped their fists and accepted the order.
Bingsan and Gangzi were still following Su Chengnan, and Qingshan was also by his side.
"Let's go up to the tower."
"good."
After Su Chengnan led his men up, he saw that the White Bear Country's army not far outside the city was already in a mass, ready to fight.
Zhong Yinghan and Sun Liangyuan were both on the city wall. He carried the telescope given to him by Su Chengnan to observe the situation of the enemy.
"General Zhong, what's the current situation?" Su Chengnan walked over and asked.
"They have a large army approaching the border, but they have been sitting still. I don't know what they are waiting for."
Zhong Yinghan put down the telescope in his hand, confused and worried.
He reacted after he finished speaking, "Miss Su, why are you here? This time it's very dangerous, you should go down first."
Before Su Chengnan could speak, Sun Liangyuan stopped him and said, "It's okay. Miss Su is as capable as any man. She is not some delicate girl. Don't underestimate her!"
Zhong Yinghan exclaimed, "Sir, you misunderstood. How dare I underestimate Miss Su? I am worried about her safety. She is indispensable in this city for many things."
"It's okay, just lead the troops well." Sun Liangyuan said.
Su Chengnan nodded, "Yes, don't worry about me, I have them to protect me. I can also help with the crossbows on the tower. Let's focus on the White Bear Nation's army."
"Yeah." Zhong Yinghan sighed.
"General, don't be upset. They are not taking action just to put pressure on us and force us to release their second prince."
"That's right! I think so too." Sun Liangyuan agreed.
"What should we do? Should we return the person now?" Zhong Yinghan frowned.
"Of course we can't give it to you!" Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan said in unison.
Su Chengnan cleared his throat, raised his arm and pointed into the distance, saying, "If we go back now, will they retreat? Then they will fight however they want, and will become even more reckless, without any consideration."
"Yes, General, don't be confused!" Sun Liangyuan said.
"What should we do now? Just wait like this?" Zhong Yinghan punched the city wall.
Su Chengnan smiled and said, "General, just wait and see! Last night, the gentleman has taken people out of the city to lay mines. This thing is extremely powerful and will definitely make them unable to return!"
Zhong Yinghan didn't know about this and was naturally confused, "What is a landmine? It can destroy cavalry without returning. Isn't it more powerful than these bows and crossbows?" He pointed to the big guys on the left and right.
"Of course! The lethality of this thing cannot be compared with cold weapons."
"Really?" Zhong Yinghan had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was still worried.
"Don't be anxious, General. You'll know in a moment." Sun Liangyuan stroked his beard and raised his head proudly.
Seeing that he was so confident, Zhong Yinghan also knew after spending these days with Sun Liangyuan that he was not the kind of person who liked to exaggerate, so he suppressed his emotions and stepped back, "Okay then."
Not long after he finished speaking, the other party could no longer hold back.
Wu——
The horn sounded again.
They finally moved.
Su Chengnan and Sun Liangyuan looked at each other, and both saw expectation in each other's eyes.
Da da da, go!
“Go!”
"We have to rescue the second prince!"
"Kill them! Charge!"
The enemy's shouting mixed with the sound of horse hooves, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
As they got closer and closer to the gate of Ningguta,
suddenly!
With a bang!
Bang, bang, bang——
The enemy's horse stepped on a landmine, and both the horse and the man were blown to pieces, with flesh and blood all over the place. Screams and sounds of pain rang out one after another. The enemy troops that kept rushing up from behind couldn't stop their horses at all. The back row crashed into the front row, and fell to the ground like dominoes!
…
"ah--"
"What's going on?!"
“Help!”
The person who rushed in front was killed on the spot. Those who were running in the middle all fell to the ground. The people behind had already grabbed the reins tightly, trying hard to control the horses.
"Quick, retreat!"
"Move back! Stop!"
The enemy generals tried to take command, but the chaotic situation was beyond control. The neighing of war horses and the screams of soldiers intertwined together, and the entire battlefield was like hell.
"What...what kind of weapon is this?!" The enemy general in the rear looked at everything in front of him in horror and disbelief. His heart had fallen to the bottom and he felt that he had no hope of survival at all.
Lei Shi will definitely not let him have an easy time.
…
"Wow! He's so powerful!!" Zhong Yinghan widened his eyes.
"What kind of killing weapon is this! Kill them! Kill them!"
"It exploded! It was awesome!"
Everyone was cheering.
Su Chengnan looked at the scene below the city wall, feeling indescribable complexities in his heart.
War takes away human lives, but she should feel lucky at this moment because as defenders, they have achieved a phased victory.
"That's great! With this experience, our morale will definitely be boosted!" Zhong Yinghan's face flushed and he was very excited!
"That's right, this is a good start. General, I think you now believe what I just said." Sun Liangyuan laughed.
"Mr. Great Talent!"
"Shoot!" Zhong Yinghan gave the order.
The large crossbows on both sides fired arrows like rain!
Those who were wailing a second ago were now completely silent.
A moment later, a soldier shouted excitedly, "General, the enemy is beginning to retreat!"
"Keep shooting, don't let them retreat! We must save their lives!" Zhong Yinghan ordered loudly.
"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison and continued to operate their bows and crossbows.
…
Inside the tent of the commander-in-chief of the White Bear Country.
"Report!"
"Something's happened to the general. It's bad!"
When the soldier reported in, not only was his hat crooked, but his shoes almost fell off as well.
"Why are you so panicked? Tell me!" Lei Shi raised his eyebrows and glared at him.
"Ningguta... I don't know what kind of magic weapon Ningguta used, they actually hid the gunpowder underground?! Many of our men were killed in the explosion! The whole team is in chaos, it's terrible."
"What?!"
All the generals in the room sat up in surprise.
"Nonsense!" Lei Shi slammed the table.
"Given the emphasis on culture over military affairs in the Yong Kingdom over the years, and the dictatorship of Empress Dowager Xiao, how could they possibly have such talent to come up with such an important invention?! I don't believe it could be gunpowder!"
"General, it's absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes, the scene of the troops being blown up was truly horrific!"
"Shut up!" Lei Shi stood up, picked up his sword and walked out.
"Let's go! This general wants to see what's going on!"
