“Get ready. We’ll start attacking the city after midnight!” the general said with a smile.
“Yes!”
Zhang Yuanwu had not slept for a few days. He stood on the city gate tower with a haggard face. His subordinate comforted him, “Sir, you should go and rest first. That group of dog soldiers shouldn’t be coming today.”
“No, they’ll definitely make a move tonight,” Zhang Yuanwu shook his head and said.
Pang Xin also nodded. “We don’t have many weapons left. If they want to make a move, the second half of the night will be the best time. So, I ordered the Night Watch to be on guard. Those who are going to rest should not sleep too deeply.”
“Yes!” The subordinate replied respectfully.
Sure enough, when it was just three O ‘clock and everyone was sleeping soundly and their guard was at its lowest, the enemy army began to move again.
“Wake everyone up!” Zhang Yuanwu ordered in a deep voice.
Not long after, the enemy army began to arrive at the city in a dense mass.
In the middle of the night, it was dark everywhere, which was very disadvantageous for defense. The arrows could only be shot randomly in the weak light of the fire, and it was unknown if they hit.
The city gate was already creaking from the heavy impact.
Pang Xin looked at the few arrows left and said in a deep voice, “Take your weapons and get ready to open the city!”
By the time the stones and arrows were all thrown, the enemy had already climbed up the city gate tower. The city gate below had also fallen after the final heavy blow.
“Good men of the Wei Kingdom, let’s kill them!” Zhang Yuanwu shouted.
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright. A crack had been created in the dark sky by the morning light, and the multicolored light that filled the sky leaked in.
The entire city was filled with a strong smell of blood. The smell was carried by the wind to a place 20 kilometers away.
The Crown Prince’s nose twitched and he shouted, “Speed up! Hurry up!” When they arrived, the people on both sides were killing madly. There were several layers of people on the ground, all stained red with blood. They could not recognize which side they were from.
Some of the soldiers fought so much that their blades were bent or broken, but they still fought with their bare hands.
The Crown Prince’s heart ached when he saw this. He shouted, “Kill them all! Protect my people!”
The Crown Prince had brought 50,000 people, which was the key to the reversal of the situation. Since they came, the people of Huan City had been suppressed, but now it was the people of Qing Kingdom who were suppressed.
The general of the Qing Kingdom’s face turned ashen. He did not expect the people of the Wei Kingdom to come so quickly, and the person who came was the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince’s men were fighting one against ten, and a large number of the Qing Kingdom’s soldiers were quickly wiped out. He could tell that they were going to lose this battle.
The king’s hope was going to be dashed.
Thinking of the consequences of losing the battle, the general gritted his teeth and rushed forward with an arrow.
The Crown Prince looked at him and sneered. He raised his long spear and rode his horse forward to meet him.
After a hundred rounds of fighting, the general of Qing was no match for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince had a spear to his throat.
“Don’t be so smug. If you didn’t come here with your men, we would have taken Huan City long ago.”
The Crown Prince snorted. “Don’t say ‘if’, there’s no’ if’. Even if we didn’t come, you couldn’t possibly beat our Great Wei’s generals. Our Great Wei’s good men will guard this land forever!”
With that, he turned the spearhead and stabbed it into the neck of the general of Qing Kingdom.
There was another pool of blood on the ground..
