Chapter 274: Two Armies Against Each Other
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At this moment, the sound of marching came from afar. Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong looked at each other and flew out of the military camp.
The soldiers immediately went to inform the other generals. The atmosphere in the military camp became even tenser in an instant like when Tang Jinghong pulled the bow taut just now.
In the distance, a long dragon formed by torches slowly slithered closer and settled down on the south side of Maiji Mountain.
Fang Yuchen’s military camp was in the north. The terrain in the north was higher, and there was a dense forest behind it. Once they entered the forest, they would be safe.
Behind the south side were hills. If northern border soldiers wanted to escape, they had to climb the hills. Once the hills were taken, they would be sandwiched in between.
To the east was a river that was not suitable for garrisoning.
To the west was forest land, but it was swampy and dangerous. It was not suitable for garrisoning either.
Other than that, the Lord of the Northern Border did not have a terrain that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of soldiers, so Maiji Mountain was the only place suitable for the two armies to fight.
Originally, the north of Maiji Mountain was a place that the Lord of the Northern Border wanted to occupy. However, it was occupied by Tang Jinghong first, so he could only make do with the south side.
They were at a disadvantage from the start.
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stood at the top of the mountain and looked at the northern border army camp in the distance. Their expressions darkened.
With the arrival of the Lord of the Northern Border, the war was not far away.
Chu Qingzhi looked at Tang Jinghong, unable to hide the worry in her eyes. “Will you go to the battlefield personally?”
“No.” Tang Jinghong stood straight with his hands behind his back. His aura was strong, steady, and confident. “I’ve already discussed the battle plan with General Fang and the others. 1 don’t even have to do anything.”
Chu Qingzhi heaved a sigh of relief.
Tang Jinghong comforted her. “Don’t worry. We’ll return to the capital in three days.”
Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Tang Jinghong. “What about the rest?”
Tang Jinghong’s body seemed to be glowing again. “I’ve already made arrangements. This war is the only thing 1 need to do here.”
Chu Qingzhi recalled that Tang Jinghong had been writing letters non-stop.
One letter after another, he had written at least 20 to 30 letters. It turned out that he was arranging the follow-up. No wonder he was called a divine general.
She suddenly felt that Jinghong was more powerful than she had imagined.
At the military camp of the northern border.
It was already late at night when the tents were set up.
The fake Lord of the Northern Border stood in front of his tent and looked at Fang Yuchen’s camp in the distance. His eyes were filled with hatred. “Tang Jinghong, Fang Yuchen, 1 will never forgive you!”
Tang Jianying walked over and stopped behind the fake Lord of the Northern Border. She said respectfully, “Your Highness, everything is arranged.”
The fake Lord of the Northern Border narrowed his eyes. “Good, go and rest.”
Tang Jianying cupped her hands. “Yes, Your Highness.”
The bright moonlight illuminated the camps of both sides. The white tents looked like giant mushrooms growing in the mountains. It was quite a spectacular sight. However, the two mushrooms were competing against each other. The atmosphere in the entire mountain was exceptionally tense. Even the mountain wind was tainted with nervousness.
The war came very quickly, and there was almost no time for people to catch their breath. Both sides faced each other, separated by a small stream.
The soldiers in Fang Yuchen’s camp were dressed in red uniforms. They looked enthusiastic and fiery, like the morning sun.
The soldiers of the northern border wore dark blue soldiers’ uniforms. They looked cold and unapproachable, like blades.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers stood there in an orderly manner. They were like two huge beasts that hated each other and were prepared to fight to the death.
Behind the two armies, a chariot slowly drove out. On the chariot pulled by two horses stood the highest ranking generals of both sides…
The fake Lord of the Northern Border looked at Fang Yuchen and mocked, “Where’s that coward Tang Jinghong?”
Fang Yuchen replied in a mocking tone, “We don’t need General Tang to deal with you. We can kill you!”
The fake Lord of the Northern Border’s face darkened. “How arrogant. Do you think you can kill me?”
Fang Yuchen smiled. “Let’s give it a try, shall we?”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and two people were escorted over by the soldiers.
“Lord of the Northern Border, do you recognize them?”
Tang Jinghong gave these two people to him last night and even told him about the current Lord of the Northern Border being an imposter. He was in disbelief at that time.
These two people were Qin Fengnian and Qin Yajun. They looked at the fake Lord of the Northern Border and shook their heads.
The fake Lord of the Northern Border looked at the two of them with a dark expression. He felt very sorry for them. In his generation, only the three of them were left. Now, his brother and sister had fallen into the enemy’s hands…
Fang Yuchen looked at the change of expression on the fake Lord of the Northern Border’s face with great satisfaction. “If you surrender, I can spare them and punish you accordingly. But if you insist, they will be sacrificed!”
Qin Yajun shouted at the top of her lungs, “Don’t save us. We’d rather die!”
Qin Fengnian didn’t say anything, but his silence showed his choice.
Fang Yuchen took out his saber and placed it on Qin Fengnian’s neck. He said in a deep voice, “I’ll count to three.”
These two people had also participated in the rebellion. They deserved to die anyway.
The fake Lord of the Northern Border stared straight at the two of them, his eyes slowly turning red. He had never faced such a dilemma before. It was too difficult, too difficult to make a choice…
“One.”
“Two.”
Fang Yuchen began to count. Every sound he counted was like a huge rock smashing into the fake Lord of the Northern Border’s heart. It smashed into his flesh and left him riddled with holes. His heart ached.
He had been plotting in the northern border for seven years. He was not willing to give up, not at all.
He could not bring himself to surrender!
“Three.”
Fang Yuchen sneered. Power could indeed change people. “It feels good to enjoy the wealth that belongs to someone else, right?”
The fake Lord of the Northern Border’s heart skipped a beat, and a cold light shot out of his eyes. “If you want to kill, kill. Why are you wasting your breath?”
If not for the fact that the fake Lord of the Northern Border had many killed martial artists around him, he really wanted to go up and rip off his mask.
In order to prevent others from unmasking him, especially Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi, the fake Lord of the Northern Border had arranged for many skilled martial artists to stay by his side. He was hard to approach.
By the time they took off the mask of the fake Lord of the Northern Border, the war might probably have ended.
“As you wish!” Fang Yuchen raised his saber and waved it gently. A long line of blood appeared on Qin Fengnian’s neck. Blood slowly seeped out as he fell to the ground and died.
Next was Qin Yajun.
After killing the siblings, Fang Yuchen waved his saber and ordered, “Charge!”
When the fake Lord of the Northern Border saw this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot.. Hatred rose in his heart as he shouted, “Kill them all!”
