Chapter 464 Taking the City
The city gate was slowly opened, and the general appeared at the city gate with his troops.
I am Lian Tuo, General of Chariots and Cavalry of Chu. Do you commoners dare to accept my challenge?
Ah Man leaped onto her horse, shouting, "Grandma, I'll grant you your wish to die! Giddy up!"
Both sides' warhorses took to the air.
Ah Man swung his giant axe with tremendous force.
When Lian Tuo's halberd met the giant axe, the impact was so great that his hands and feet went numb.
Aman's giant axe pressed down on Lian Tuo's long halberd, approaching his neck.
The sharpness of the blade when I just cut off Huangfu Nanying's head is still vivid in my mind.
Lian Tuo forcefully pushed aside the giant axe and quickly swept it towards A Man.
Aman leaned back quickly to dodge, then swiftly got up and turned her horse around.
He then released his grip on the reins, a bloodthirsty smile on his face.
That hand took out another giant axe from its waist.
She squeezed the horse's belly hard with her legs.
"drive!"
The warhorse immediately charged toward Lianto.
Lian Tuo's face immediately darkened, and he actually swung his halberd at the horse's leg.
Just as he was about to make a move, Aman suddenly leaped into the air and pounced on Lian Tuo.
The two immediately rolled to the ground.
Aman immediately stood up, wielding a double-bladed axe.
"Immediately, that's not my forte."
He then charged toward Lientau again.
The power of the double axes forced him to retreat repeatedly.
Why does this terrifying sense of oppression feel so familiar?!
Lian Tuo was knocked to the ground by A Man's axe.
Just as Aman was about to step forward, Lian Tuo suddenly grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at Aman.
But when the dust settled, Ah Man was nowhere to be seen.
The excruciating pain in his shoulder and the mocking face of Aman above him made Lian Tuo deeply regret not listening to Huangfu Nanfeng's advice.
"Throwing dust, even a ten-year-old can dodge that old trick."
Qin Jinzhi watched the two face off with a smile.
The Zhenbei Army behind him stared wide-eyed; what a demonstration!
Those who competed with the princess before accused her of cheating; this is a perfect example.
If Hu Aman hadn't dodged quickly, that guy would have run away long ago.
Just then.
Suddenly, Nalianto threw a dagger out of his hand.
He quickly thrust his weapon at Aman.
Aman quickly dodged, and Nalian Tuo seized the opportunity, mounted his horse, and headed back to the city.
Ah Man swung his arm in a wide arc, and the giant axe flew out to chop at the horse's leg.
The horse and its rider fell to the ground.
Just as he was struggling to get up.
One foot forcefully stomped his head into the ground.
Ah Man gestured with the giant axe and said, "Don't worry, the pain will stop soon."
She bent down and lifted up Lian Tuo's head, which remained open in death.
"Your general is dead, yet you still refuse to resist?"
The Chu army immediately shouted, "Return to the city! Close the city gates!"
Seeing the Chu army fleeing in panic, the soldiers behind Qin Jinzhi asked, "Young Master, shouldn't we give chase?"
Qin Jinzhi said calmly, "It's not time yet."
She neither pursued nor withdrew her troops, but simply watched helplessly as the city gates were closed.
Aman, holding Lian Tuo's head, returned to Qin Jinzhi's side and whispered, "Was my 'last-ditch resistance' the right thing to do?"
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "You can go back and do ten fewer homework assignments."
Just then, the closed city gate was slowly lowered again.
Qin Jinzhi's face lit up with a smile, "They've arrived, soldiers! Follow me to attack the city!"
The city gate was completely lowered, and everyone looked towards the city gate.
The one who opened the city gate was Yan Fei's subordinate.
Qin Jinzhi took the lead, and the soldiers shouted "Charge!" as they followed her into the city.
The city gradually quieted down amidst the deafening sounds of battle.
There were no more survivors from the Chu state.
The soldiers of Jin quickly occupied the city.
Qin Jinzhi stood at the city gate, waiting for the casualties to be tallied.
Yan Fei walked up to the city wall and said, "Yan Fei has fulfilled his mission and has come to report back."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Yan Fei, "Captain Yan, you deserve the most credit for breaking through the city this time. I, the vanguard, will personally petition the marshal for you to be rewarded!"
Yan Fei couldn't hide his joy when he heard Qin Jinzhi's words, but he shook his head and said, "This time, I was just following orders when we broke through the city. If you hadn't personally come to the front lines and drawn all the attention in the city here, my surprise attack wouldn't have been so easy to succeed."
Qin Jinzhi said with a smile, "Those who have made contributions should not shirk their responsibilities. Commandant Yan is too modest."
At this moment, a soldier jogged up and said, "Young Master, the number of casualties has been counted."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Leave the main force in the city, the rest of you come back to camp with me!"
Yan Fei and the soldier replied in unison, "Yes, young master!"
The good news arrived at the main camp first.
Upon hearing the good news, Qin Ye's usual expression of joy was completely different from what he usually was.
"Understood. Tell the kitchen to prepare food. The soldiers have won a great battle and should have a good meal when they return."
General Chen, who was standing to the side, said excitedly, "Marshal! The young lord has successfully captured a city on his first expedition! How can you not be excited at all!"
General Yu also looked puzzled. "That's right, Marshal. Our young master is truly a prodigy, a genius in warfare! He captured a city with such few casualties. Why aren't you happy at all?"
Qin Ye stroked his beard. "Her success in capturing the city was inevitable. So many days of sneak attacks and harassment had exhausted the enemy. Her aggressive approach drew all eyes to the front lines, buying time for Yan Fei, who was attacking from the rear, to draw fire. Her success is inseparable from the efforts of the soldiers over such a long period of time. It's not her achievement alone. What is there to be proud of?"
General Yu stared at Qin Ye with wide eyes, then looked at General Chen.
They all seemed to think he must have taken the wrong medicine.
General Chen also curled his lip.
The two turned their faces away. "Let's go, let's go tell other people the good news. What's the point of telling this spoilsport!"
With that, the two left Qin Ye's tent without looking back.
After the two left, Qin Ye looked at the two figures that had completely disappeared outside the tent.
He immediately beamed with joy and waved his fist in the air a few times.
"I, Qin Ye, am truly a once-in-a-millennium divine and martial general. Look at my granddaughter, she takes after me. She is so capable and brings me so much honor. I'm just afraid that you old guys will be too envious and jealous of me. I, the marshal, really know how to be considerate of my subordinates."
Hearing the sounds coming from inside the tent, the guard outside hesitated and asked, "Marshal, is that... humming a tune?"
Another guard quickly said, "Stand still and stop asking useless questions."
When Qin Jinzhi and the others returned to camp, Fatty was holding his belt with both hands, laughing and saying to the old generals beside him, "My apprentices are just small fry, they're nothing special."
Those nearby exclaimed, "To kill an enemy general on your first battlefield appearance? That's nothing! Master, we can't keep bragging like that!"
Back then, the name "Bloodthirsty Buddha" made the enemy tremble, and our army also held him in high esteem.
He hadn't heard of the Buddha for a long time.
It's all because of that brat Qin Jinzhi, who has no respect for elders and calls me "Fatty"!
Not imposing at all!
The fat man's smile widened, "With more training, your soldiers can achieve the same level."
At that moment, Ah Man's loud voice rang out.
"Master, look what I brought back!"
