Chapter 435: Determined to Conquer the Kingdom of Nanyue
Elephants are afraid of fire, so the King of Southern Yunnan ordered the release of rockets.
However, it seemed that even God was not on their side. The sky, which had been clear, began to rain heavily again. The rockets were extinguished by the heavy rain, and the force of the arrow feathers was also hindered.
A wave of arrows was shot out, and the war elephant was intact and headed straight for the city gate.
We must never let the war elephants break down the city gates.
When the war elephants were within range, the King of Southern Yunnan gave the order to fire the artillery!
Several bullets were fired in succession, and a war elephant was hit and fell to the ground, screaming.
The other war elephants were frightened and immediately ran away in all directions. The elephant trainers hurriedly issued orders to try to control the war elephants, but the artillery on the city wall came one after another, and the huge noise made the war elephants completely out of control. The South Vietnamese soldiers were trampled and screamed.
It was originally a weapon that could decide the outcome of the battle, but now it has become their death warrant.
Taking advantage of the enemy's chaos, the King of Southern Yunnan immediately ordered, "Open the city gates! Kill them!"
The morale of the soldiers in southern Yunnan was greatly boosted, and they rushed out as soon as the city gate opened.
Heavy rain poured down and lightning cracked the sky.
The soldiers held spears and charged into the rain of arrows.
Amidst the blood and water, no one took a step back, because they knew that behind them was their home.
The South Vietnamese army was forced to retreat step by step by the Southern Yunnan Army and had to return to the city urgently.
Duan Xinghua, the Nanyue defender, opened the city gate while setting up bows and arrows on the city wall and shooting at the southern Yunnan army to cover his own soldiers entering the city.
Waves of arrows shot towards the Southern Yunnan Army, and the soldiers fell one after another, but they did not retreat at all.
The gate of Nanyue Kingdom is right in front of us. If we miss this opportunity to attack the city gate, it will be extremely difficult to find another opportunity next time.
Ye Xianfeng led the charge, "Soldiers, charge! Today, we are determined to annihilate the land of South Vietnam!"
Seeing the Southern Yunnan Army approaching the city gate step by step, Duan Xinghua became anxious and called in more archers to shoot arrows at the city gate.
At the same time, he drew his bow and aimed a sharp arrow at Ye Xianfeng.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Ye Xianfeng is the backbone of the Southern Yunnan Army. If he is shot to death, the morale of the Southern Yunnan Army will inevitably be damaged.
A fierce murderous aura rushed towards Ye Xianfeng. He noticed it and hurriedly swung his sword to block it, but dense arrows from the city wall attacked at the same time. Ye Xianfeng was unable to take care of both ends. Although he avoided the vital points, he was still hit by an arrow in the shoulder.
At this time, a loud shout came from the city wall, "Ye Xianfeng has been hit by my poisoned arrow and will soon die from the poison. You rabble, why don't you retreat quickly, otherwise I will make sure you never return!"
Hearing this loud shout, the morale of the southern Yunnan army was indeed affected.
Ye Xianfeng pulled out the arrow from his shoulder and shouted even louder.
"I'm fine. Don't be misled by the enemy's lies and disrupt the morale of the army. Follow me, everyone! Charge!"
After shouting, Ye Xianfeng threw the broken arrow directly towards the city wall, and Duan Xinghua subconsciously dodged backwards.
The arrow did not reach the city wall, but only penetrated deeply into the middle of the wall.
This shock immediately brought back the morale of the Southern Yunnan Army, which had almost collapsed. In fact, the morale was even higher than before.
Duan Xinghua looked unhappy.
He shouldn't have dodged backwards just now.
That dodge not only made him lose face, but also affected the morale of his own side.
Duan Xinghua once again ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows, but the Southern Yunnan Army under the city was unstoppable. Their arrows fell like rain, but they could not stop the enemy from approaching.
Duan Xinghua's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted an order, "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"
A soldier shouted, "But our people haven't all returned to the city yet."
A small number of people are still outside the city.
Duan Xinghua didn't hesitate, "I give the order, close it! Stop talking nonsense!"
If they don't abandon that small number of men, the Southern Yunnan Army will attack the city, and by then, the situation will be irreversible.
The South Vietnamese soldiers did not dare to hesitate any longer and began to push the heavy city gate.
When the soldiers in the rear of the South Vietnamese army saw this, they knew they had been abandoned. They were furious and their anger was ignited.
They fought bravely, but in the end were ruthlessly abandoned like ants.
Aren’t their lives lives?
They took the initiative to attack the soldiers who were closing the city gate. The city gate was originally very heavy and required the combined efforts of several people to close it.
Once blocked, the city gate could not be closed immediately.
Duan Xinghua was so angry that he wanted to curse.
Ye Xianfeng seized this opportunity and led his generals to attack the city gate.
The cost of this war was terrible, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
The only difference is that the morale of the South Vietnamese army has been weakened, while the southern Yunnan army seems to be energized and extremely brave.
Finally they broke into the city gate. Even though the Southern Yunnan Army was too tired to lift their hands, they were extremely excited.
"Soldiers, charge! We must crush the Kingdom of Nanyue!"
Ye Xianfeng, Ye Huaixu and Ye Hanyi went into battle together.
Ye Xianfeng charged in the front, while Ye Huaixu and Ye Hanyi followed closely behind on the east and west wings.
Although Ye Hanyi was a woman, the sword in her hand was as fast as lightning. She fought all the way and chopped off countless enemies' heads. Her arms became sore and her speed and strength slowed down.
She was also injured, but she did not stop.
She became a mindless killing machine.
She had only one thought in her mind, to conquer the Kingdom of Nanyue!
She gave others a chance to live, but she was denying them her own chance to live!
I don’t know how many people fell.
Everyone's eyes were blurred by rain and blood, and they could no longer tell whether the person in front of them was a friend or an enemy. All that remained was the instinctive movement of swinging the knife.
Ye Hanyi felt so tired that she almost collapsed.
We have killed so many people, why are the enemies still like ants and can never be killed?
Phantoms appeared before her eyes.
She saw her father being hit by a knife and falling off his horse.
Ye Hanyi's eyes widened instantly, and his whole body seemed to be injected with strength again. He rushed forward regardless of anything, blocked the next knife that was about to fall, and chopped off the opponent's head with his backhand.
Ye Hanyi helped Ye Xianfeng up, holding back tears, "Dad!"
Ye Xianfeng was covered in blood, with countless wounds on his body. The most serious one was the knife attack on his waist and abdomen.
The arrow that hit his shoulder was truly poisonous. He only had time to take an antidote pill and didn't do anything else.
After the fight just now, his arms were numb and he had no strength left, which is why he was successfully ambushed by a small soldier.
Ye Hanyi held back her tears and quickly bandaged the wounds on his waist and abdomen.
"Dad, it's okay. We will win soon! Just hold on a little longer."
Ye Xianfeng panted rapidly and forced a smile.
"Dad, it's okay. I was just distracted for a moment. If there are two of those soldiers, I'll kill them both!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xianfeng choked and coughed, which affected the wound and made him grimace in pain.
Ye Hanyi felt extremely distressed.
But now is not the time for gossip.
The battle between the two sides was stalemate. Even if they only had one breath left, they would raise their swords and continue fighting.
