Chapter 858 Breaking through the Turtle Back



The fighting in the city continues.

Shen Luoyan was still leading his troops to charge.

Although he had not been on the battlefield for a year, Shen Luoyan's martial arts skills had not declined.

Shen Luoyan knocked an enemy general off his horse with a spear, put the tip of the spear against the enemy general's neck, and shouted in a stern voice: "Tell me, where is the granary?"

The enemy general said nothing, but just stared at Shen Luoyan with a fierce look on his face.

Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Shen Luoyan didn't bother to waste any more time and simply stabbed the enemy general in the neck with a single shot.

As he put away his gun, Shen Luoyan shouted to the people around him: "Hurry up and find out the location of the enemy's granary!"

As he spoke, Shen Luoyan led his troops to charge again.

They charged and captured people alive, trying to find out the location of the enemy's granary as soon as possible.

After questioning more than a dozen survivors, they finally got the location of the granary.

...

...

"Quick! Go to the granary!"

Chen Luoyan galloped on his horse and led the army to charge towards the enemy's granary.

By the time they had fought their way over, two of the enemy's granaries were already on fire.

"Charge them in! We can't let them burn down the granary!"

Chen Luoyan waved the cloud-patterned spear, and with one shot, he pushed aside the barricades in front of him, then rushed in at the head of the group.

A soldier from the Dayue Kingdom holding a torch was about to set fire to another granary, but Shen Luoyan had already rushed up to him on horseback and fired a shot. A stream of blood spurted out from the soldier's neck.

"Quickly clear out the remaining enemies in the granary!"

"Quick, get a team of people and guard the area around the granary!"

"Lin Bi, immediately take people to fetch water and put out the fire..."

Shen Luoyan didn't bother to continue charging and gave orders continuously.

At this moment, a soldier came hurriedly to report: "Princess, Madam Jiayao led a team to the west of the city to chase a group of people holding torches! There seems to be a granary over there..."

Chen Luoyan said without hesitation: "Leave that to Jiayao first, let's quickly light the fire here..."

As he spoke, Shen Luoyan's expression suddenly changed.

The next moment, Shen Luoyan quickly rushed to a captured enemy soldier and shouted murderously: "Is there a granary in the west?"

“No…no.”

The captured soldier replied in panic: "There is only one warehouse in the west, which is a warehouse for storing kerosene..."

Kerosene!

It was kerosene!

Shen Luoyan rushed to his warhorse in a few steps and said, "Leave two thousand men to protect the granary, and the rest of you, follow me!"

While shouting, Shen Luoyan led his troops to the western warehouse.

When they encountered enemy troops along the way, they simply did not engage in any confrontation.

"boom!"

Just when Shen Luoyan was about to reach the west warehouse, a loud noise suddenly came to his ears.

Immediately afterwards, flames shot up into the sky in the west.

Looking at the thick smoke rising from the flames, Shen Luoyan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Jiayao!

Damn it, Jia Yao won’t…

Shen Luoyan's heart suddenly trembled, and he looked into the distance with a complicated expression.

"drive!"

After a brief moment of distraction, Chen Luoyan kicked his horse's belly and continued to lead his troops towards the place where the smoke was billowing.

If he's alive, I want to see him in person. If he's dead, I want to see his body!

Just as Shen Luoyan led his troops forward, a group of people also rushed towards them quickly.

It was not until the two sides got closer that Chen Luoyan could see clearly that it was a team of cavalry led by Jia Yao.

"call……"

Chen Luoyan let out a long breath and quickly came in front of Jia Yao.

Seeing that Jiayao showed no signs of being burned, he asked, "Are you okay?"

"fine!"

Jia Yao shook his head and smiled, "These bastards wanted to lead us to the kerosene warehouse. Fortunately, I discovered something was wrong in time, otherwise, I would have been burned to death by them today..."

Speaking of this, Jia Yao still feels scared.

She was so concerned about food and supplies that she didn't realize it was a trap set by the enemy.

It was not until she discovered that the warehouse here was an independent warehouse with no houses around it that she suddenly realized that this was most likely a warehouse for storing kerosene.

The moment the group of people in pursuit rushed in, she immediately led her troops to retreat.

If they had retreated a few moments later, she and the team she led would probably have been burned to death.

"I'm glad you're okay!"

Shen Luoyan smiled and said, "When I came here, I saw that the enemy had already begun to flee. We quickly gathered our troops and chased after the fleeing enemy!"

"good!"

Jia Yao nodded heavily and said with fighting spirit: "I almost fell into the trap of these bastards, and now I am so angry that I have no place to vent!"

As they spoke, Jia Yao and Shen Luoyan quickly joined forces and continued to gather the cavalry units that were still clearing out the remnants of the enemy troops.

The battle lasted from dawn until almost sunset.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shines down, the blood everywhere seems even more glaring under the illumination of the setting sun.

At this time, the remaining enemies in the city had been eliminated.

The several thousand cavalrymen who raided their camp were also defeated by the joint attack of Shen Kuan and Fu Tianyan's troops.

Only Shen Luoyan and Jia Yao, who led their troops out of the city, were still chasing the enemy. The rest of the troops were also busy with their own affairs.

Some people were counting casualties, some were treating the wounded, and some were escorting prisoners, clearing out the spoils, and so on.

After dark, Chen Luoyan and Jia Yao finally led the pursuit troops back.

"Everything alright?"

Yun Zheng looked up and down at the two women covered in blood.

"fine."

The two women shook their heads at the same time, with a look of triumph on their tired faces.

"Go take a rest first!"

Yun Zheng was relieved, "I have already ordered people to start cooking, I will call you when it's done."

"good!"

The two women nodded and went downstairs to rest.

Fighting from morning till night, if you say you are not tired, you are lying.

However, as long as we capture Turtleback City, all the effort will be worth it.

With the turtle's back broken, the countdown to the demise of the Dayue Kingdom has begun.

"Wow, look what I brought you!"

At this moment, Qin Qihu's signature rough laughter suddenly rang in Yun Zheng's ears.

Yun Zheng turned his head to look at the door, only to see Qin Qihu, covered in blood, swaggering in with a human head in his hand.

"Are you hurt?"

Yun Zheng was the first to ask.

"I am the second most powerful general in Dagan. How can these bastards hurt me?"

Qin Qihu laughed loudly, and handed the head to Yun Zheng, winking and asking, "Guess who this is?"

"How would I know him?" Yun Zheng smiled and asked curiously, "Who is this?"

"This birdman is the guard of Turtleback City, Pants." Qin Qihu grinned and laughed, "You said that this birdman, there are so many other names, why did he have to be called Pants? Why not call him Shoe Sole? Haha..."

“…”

Yun Zheng was speechless.

This name is indeed a bit strange.

After laughing, Yun Zheng's heart immediately moved, and he shouted: "Come here, send this head to Gao He, and let Gao He throw it to the defenders of Gule City!"

"Do you want to use this birdman's head to force the enemy troops of Gule to land?" Qin Qihu asked with a smile.

"Um!"

Yun Zheng nodded. "Now that Turtleback City has been conquered, what's the point of them still guarding Gu Le?"

Not only Gule, but Yiwu could not be defended either.

As long as the news of the breach of Turtleback reaches Yiwu, as long as the commander of Yiwu is not a coward, he will definitely lead his troops to retreat in order to preserve his strength.

Thinking of this, Yun Zheng called the messenger again.

"Send a message to Feng Yu and Huo Gu: Guibei City has been breached, and the enemy is likely to secretly withdraw from Yiwu. Order them to keep a close eye on the enemy's movements and chase after the fleeing enemy soldiers when the opportunity arises! When chasing, be careful and beware of being ambushed by the enemy..."
