Chapter 471 I'm Here
Huangfu Nanfeng curled the corners of his mouth with a look of certainty.
He waved his hand, and suddenly the heavy sound of wheels came from the shadows.
Huo Tingshan frowned deeply at that voice.
It's a catapult.
Huangfu Nanfeng secretly hid a large number of catapults near Fenglao Pass.
Huo Tingshan immediately shouted, "Defense!"
Suddenly, tall iron shields appeared on the city wall.
One after another, they surrounded the city gate tower very tightly.
Seeing this, Huangfu Nanfeng's eyes lit up with a smile, "Breaked through!"
Chu soldiers quickly placed the boulders into the catapults.
Huge stones were hurled densely at the city gate.
The boulders crashed onto the iron shields with a deafening sound.
Right after that loud noise.
"boom!"
An explosion occurred where the boulder struck.
Huangfu Nanfeng actually tied gunpowder to the boulder.
Amidst the chaos of war, the iron shields on the city walls were smashed to pieces.
The Chu army below the city sensed something was amiss.
"Marshal, something's not right. Why is there no sound from the Jin people on this city wall?"
"Yes, Marshal, there's no sign of the Jin people behind that iron shield."
Huangfu Nanfeng said with a smile, "The Flying Eagle Camp will use catapults."
A group of soldiers immediately climbed onto the trebuchet's cargo bed.
As the catapult launched its attack, he leaped towards the top of the city wall.
Looking at the numerous figures in the sky, Huangfu Nanfeng said, "In the face of the giant rocks, human lives are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. These iron shields are just a smokescreen. The catapults are very troublesome to transport the giant rocks. Huo Tingshan wants to use these iron shields to exhaust our army's giant rocks."
Huangfu Nanfeng's men immediately realized what was going on.
"The Marshal is indeed wise."
Huangfu Nanfeng looked up at the city tower, which was ablaze with flames.
"I suspect that Huo Tingshan and his men were lying in ambush, waiting to kill our people in one blow."
The Chu soldiers frowned, "Then aren't our men just throwing their lives away for nothing?"
Huangfu Nanfeng said with a smile, "Don't forget, everyone, the Flying Eagle Battalion are suicide squads."
The Chu soldiers were puzzled. "Even if the Flying Eagle Battalion takes the lead, if we follow the marshal's advice, it's just a pointless sacrifice. Dead soldiers are of no value."
Huangfu Nanfeng's eyes crinkled with a wider smile. "What I mean is, they're not afraid of death."
The moment the Flying Eagle Battalion landed on the city wall.
The archers fired a hundred arrows at once.
Even though these Chu soldiers were hit by arrows, they still charged towards the Jin soldiers at top speed.
The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Battalion appeared on the city wall like an overwhelming force.
As the arrows are depleted.
Huo Tingshan drew his broadsword and shouted, "Kill!"
The soldiers from both sides immediately charged at each other.
The two sides were completely embroiled in a chaotic battle.
Huangfu Nanfeng could vaguely see Huo Tingshan's figure from the city tower.
He grinned maliciously and made noises.
"Boom!"
Just as the two sides were engaged in fierce fighting.
A Chu soldier, whose abdomen had been stabbed open, was spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
But he looked at the Jin soldiers with an arrogant expression.
His hand reached for his waist.
The Jin soldiers, seeing the direction he was pointing, immediately turned around and roared, "Run! They've strapped gunpowder to their bodies!"
After he finished speaking, the Chu soldiers behind him pulled the ropes binding their bodies with gunpowder.
Huangfu Nanfeng closed his eyes and listened with a look of enjoyment as he heard the sound of gunpowder exploding from the city tower.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Gunpowder exploded one after another.
Then they connected into one.
The city tower was instantly engulfed in flames.
Huangfu Nanfeng actually used an entire battalion of soldiers to carry the gunpowder.
The air was filled with the smell of blood mist and the acrid smell of burning.
As the sound of gunpowder exploding on the city wall faded away.
Huangfu Nanfeng opened his eyes. "Go up to the city wall and open the city gate!"
The Chu grappling hook once again entangled the city wall, but there was no one there to stop it.
The Chu army climbed the city wall, where corpses and remains were scattered everywhere.
The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Battalion were turned into human gunpowder.
This left the Jin army with nowhere to hide.
In some places, many corpses were piled up together.
The Chu army charged down from the city wall, and the sounds of the two sides clashing again rang out.
Huangfu Nanfeng pulled on the reins, and the Chu army marched toward the city gate.
A loud and deep sound came from behind.
The city gates were opened.
Huangfu Nanfeng immediately cracked his whip and shouted, "Kill!"
The Chu army immediately charged into Fenglao Pass.
With the Chu army launching a powerful offensive, the Jin army was in a state of great decline.
They fought and retreated.
Huangfu Nanfeng stood between the two armies.
"Huo Tingshan has already been blown to pieces by my men on the city wall. With the general dead, why don't you all surrender immediately!"
The soldiers of Jin shouted loudly:
"The Zhenbei Army would rather die than surrender! Brothers, killing one is enough, killing two is a bonus, and no one should bring shame to our Zhenbei Army!"
"This villain is spreading falsehoods. Fenglao Pass is a strategic location. The beacon fires have already been lit, and reinforcements will arrive soon. We swear to defend the pass to the death!"
"You traitor Chu, prepare to die!"
Looking at the high-spirited Jin soldiers, Huangfu Nanfeng sneered, "Then go to the underworld and join your generals."
The Chu army launched another fierce attack.
The two sides fought fiercely.
However, Huangfu Nanfeng noticed that while the Jin soldiers shouted slogans loudly, they did not engage in direct combat.
They were constantly on the run.
At this moment, a scout under Huangfu Nanfeng's command came to report.
"Report! Marshal, an army from the Jin Kingdom is heading towards Fenglao Pass, presumably to reinforce it. The commander is Qin Ye's granddaughter, Qin Jinzhi!"
The scout bowed respectfully as he reported the news of the Jin army.
Huangfu Nanfeng smiled and prepared to draw his longsword. "She was indeed waiting in the military camp, trying to trap us like turtles in a jar. Unfortunately, I know her too well. She's only coming to our aid now; it's too late. Issue the order: execute all the Jin soldiers, close the city gates, and wait for her!"
Just as Huangfu Nanfeng drew his longsword, his face turned pale and he looked down at the sword that had pierced his abdomen from behind.
The voice I had been longing for echoed behind me.
"No need to wait, I'm here."
Huangfu Nanfeng swung his sword behind him.
The person behind him nimbly dodged and quickly drew the sword from his abdomen.
Huangfu Nanfeng clutched his abdominal wound and turned his horse around.
The scout raised his dark, grimy face.
But Huangfu Nanfeng recognized those bright and spirited eyes even in his dreams.
His face showed a hint of madness.
"Jinzhi, you've completely fooled me!"
Qin Jinzhi casually killed a few Chu soldiers and then adjusted her helmet upwards.
She tilted her head and looked at Huangfu Nanfeng, "You're quite difficult to kill."
Qin Jinzhi guessed that Huangfu Nanfeng might be wearing a breast protector.
So they stabbed him right through the abdomen.
Huangfu Nanfeng still had the strength to speak.
In Huangfu Nanfeng's eyes, it was a raging fire.
"You guessed long ago that I was going to seize Fenglao Pass."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Huangfu Nanfeng and said, "Since you dared to lose the city, you must be confident that you can do something that will appease the Chu court. Taking Fenglao Pass and cutting off our army's support is the best decision."
Huangfu Nanfeng covered his wound and said with a smile, "You can't kill me."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "My sword didn't even stab your head, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Huangfu Nanfeng's face turned deathly pale as the blood continued to flow.
"I have orchid grass in my hand."
