Chapter 624: Rebel demon! Die well!
The King of Wu looked at the fierce struggle around the city gate, where shouts and cries shook the heavens, and knew that the outcome was decided.
The city gates had been breached, and no matter how hard the Yuezhou army struggled, they could not stop his army. Not to mention that the Broken Blade Battalion, skilled in the art of decapitation, had already broken into the city. Generals Wang and Li, who led the army, were personally in charge of the situation, and no one could escape.
The soldiers and horses surrounded the city gates and towers in a stalemate. The King of Wu looked at the armored Crown Prince and said, "Shun'er, go and take down Yuezhou City."
The prince bowed and accepted the order, then gave a shout and led eight hundred men to join the battlefield.
Yuezhou City was already at a disadvantage, and the addition of another 800 soldiers and horses immediately became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The army poured in from the city gate like a torrent, and killing and bloodshed continued to spread into the city.
The generals complimented him, "Your Highness is truly brave!"
The King of Wu smiled with satisfaction and said, "It is because of the wise leadership of the generals."
Although victory was already predetermined, the fate of the crown prince was crucial. The King of Wu had high hopes for him, and he had to prove himself worthy of his expectations. In other words, in front of the generals, he should be a crown prince who lived up to expectations.
The prince was caught up in the battlefield, commanding his troops to attack the city, and soon disappeared outside the city gate.
The chaotic military spirit, murderous spirit, human spirit, dragon spirit, and evil spirit mixed together and entangled with each other, just like a fire burning from all directions, entangled together under the influence of the wind, and soon it was difficult to distinguish.
The muddier the water, the easier it is to fish.
In Yuezhou City, Generals Wang and Li of the Broken Blade Camp, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, stood on a high place, in the shadows, with only two pairs of eyes showing, flashing with an extraordinary light.
They watched the prince riding his divine horse into the city, smiled at each other, and said, "Here he comes!"
The troops of Yuezhou City were defeated step by step. The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers of Yuezhou were already exhausted and had no will to resist.
"Surrender and you won't be killed!"
"Surrender and you won't be killed!"
The prince shouted loudly, and the charging Wu army also shouted loudly, completely defeating the morale of the Yuezhou army.
More and more Yuezhou troops chose to lay down their weapons, and defeat happened in a moment.
The night wind was still cold, and the Yuezhou Censor's hair was a little disheveled. Looking at the approaching flames, he knew that the game was over.
But the deputy general and the guards were still looking at him. The deputy general, with tears in his eyes, said, "Sir, let's go. It will be too late if we don't leave."
"Go? Where to?" The Yuezhou Censor looked at them and became confused for a moment.
"Let's go south. To the south is the Zhenshan Mountain. Once you enter the mountain, you will have a chance."
A gleam of determination gradually shone in the eyes of the Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner. He said, "No, we are heading north! The King of Wu is plotting a rebellion, and I need to report this to His Majesty!"
The deputy general and his personal guards also showed a tragic look for a moment, and said: "Then go north, cross the Meishan River, and you can leave by water."
"Walk!"
The personal guards of Yuezhou took advantage of the chaos to break out of the northern city and flee northward.
The sorcerer Chen followed closely behind the Yuezhou Censor, casting spells along the way to conceal the eyes and ears of ghosts and gods, and deceive the world, allowing them to complete their journey smoothly.
When they left the city, someone near the prince suddenly shouted, "The Yuezhou Censor has fled north!"
The prince immediately led his troops in pursuit, heading north, with the main army following closely behind.
Sure enough, they soon discovered the escape route of the Yuezhou Censor, and followed the trail all the way north to capture the Yuezhou Censor alive.
Hearing the sounds of the pursuers behind him, the Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner ran even faster, reaching Meishan Creek first. However, faced with the surging waters of Meishan Creek and no ferry available, the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner reined in his horse, looked back at the approaching pursuers, and said sadly, "It seems that Heaven is determined to destroy me!"
Master Chen said, "Not yet. I have a method that can help you cross the river."
Master Chen got off his horse, scooped up a handful of water and poured it into the air, chanting a spell. Suddenly, mist appeared in Meishan Creek, which spread in the wind and blocked the view.
The warhorse began to stir restlessly, reacting to the magic.
Master Chen said, "Please wrap the horse's hooves with cloth."
He walked by the water, waving a peach staff. His feathered robe fluttered in the mist along with his spell. Then he suddenly raised the peach staff and plunged it hard into the mud and sand under the water. In just a moment, a fierce cold air spread from the peach staff, and the water in Meishan Creek stopped flowing and formed a thick layer of ice.
"Everyone, let's go." Warlock Chen held the peach staff, his face rapidly aging, and his life was almost consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner had tears in his eyes: "Master Chen!"
Warlock Chen looked at him calmly and said, "I can only take you so far. Let's go."
The Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner hardened his heart and whipped his warhorse fiercely, "Gee!"
The blindfolded warhorse ran on the ice, heading north.
The fog obscured the direction of the prince, but soon a gust of wind came and blew away the fog.
“God bless you!”
The prince shouted and accelerated towards Meishan Creek.
From a distance, one could see the sorcerer in a high crown and feathered robe leaning on a peach staff, his shoulders and head drooping, and he was already silent.
"You rebel monster! Die!"
"Prince, the ice is dangerous. Let's wait for someone to come."
The prince glanced at the Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, who hadn't gotten far. He shouldn't have taken any risks, but for some reason, a ball of anger rose in his heart. He said, "Chase them! If they can go, we can go too!"
After saying that, he rushed up Meishan Creek first.
The prince was ahead, and the guards dared not leave him behind. They rushed onto the ice one after another and gave chase.
When they all rushed onto the ice, in the darkness, Generals Wang and Li walked up to Master Chen and laughed softly.
General Li said, "Third brother's telepathy is truly a masterful method. He can manipulate people's minds with ease."
General Wang, or rather, King Tongze, looked at the body of the sorcerer Chen and said, "Originally, they would have fought on the riverbank, and we could have acted accordingly. But we didn't expect this sorcerer to be so cruel as to sacrifice his life to pave the way for the Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner."
General Li said, "That's fine. Now that we're in the water, isn't that better suited to our needs?"
He laughed heartily and slapped the sorcerer's peach staff with one palm. The whole peach staff began to burn violently and turned into a torch in a moment.
The fire could not be extinguished by the river water. On the contrary, the frozen water surface came back to life in a few breaths. The melted river water flowed, and the warlock's body fell into it and soon disappeared.
Screams were heard in the distance, and the sounds of people and horses mixed together, and were instantly drowned by the river.
General Wang and General Li looked at each other and laughed.
The army behind him was getting closer and closer. The peach stick had burned out, the light source was extinguished by the darkness, the laughter was drowned by the river, and everything fell into a terrifying silence again.
