Chapter 275: Godlike General
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The soldiers of both sides quickly engaged in a fight. The calm mountain immediately became a bloody place. The ground was dyed red with blood, and the clear stream gradually turned into a red stream. It was cruel and heartbreaking.
The battle was intense. On the other side of the hill, behind the military camp of the northern border, two teams of soldiers rushed over from the left and right.
It turned out that Fang Yuchen’s army had been divided into three groups. The largest one was engaged in a head-on confrontation with the northern border soldiers. The other two groups were arranged by Tang Jinghong to hide in the dense forest. When the two sides were fighting, they would launch a sneak attack from the back.
In other words, the northern border soldiers had been surrounded from all sides.
As expected, the soldiers of the northern border were caught off guard. Those secret soldiers had never been on the battlefield before. Their ability to adapt to the situation was poor, and they were quickly defeated.
The fake Lord of the Northern Border stood on the chariot and calmly watched the battle in front of him. Suddenly, there were shouts coming from behind, which shocked him.
He turned around and saw his soldiers fleeing in his direction. His heart instantly sank. A sense of powerlessness emerged, making him feel as if his entire body was about to collapse!
It was said that Tang Jinghong’s military skills were godlike…
When did the soldiers sneak up behind him? He had clearly asked his men to patrol and supervise at all times, but they did not find anything unusual!
“Tang Jinghong!!!”
The fake Lord of the Northern Border looked at the defeated soldiers and roared like a wild beast on the verge of death. He jumped off the chariot and charged into the soldiers…
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong stood on the mountaintop and watched the battle. Suddenly, Chu Qingzhi said, “Jinghong, the fake Lord of the Northern Border has already lost his mind. He doesn’t have people protecting him now. Why don’t we try to shoot him?”
Tang Jinghong looked at Chu Qingzhi and nodded. “Okay.”
The secret guard handed him a bow and arrow. Tang Jinghong grabbed it and nocked an arrow. He aimed at… the fake Lord of the Northern Border.
It’s time to end this!
An extremely fast arrow tore through the air and flew towards the chest of the fake Lord of the Northern Border…
“Pfft—”
The sound of an arrow entering flesh could be heard. Then, the arrow pierced through the heart of the fake Lord of the Northern Border, shot through the two soldiers behind him, and finally stopped on the third soldier.
The fake Lord of the Northern Border looked down at the bloody hole on his body. His pupils slowly dilated in disbelief. He slowly raised his head and looked at Tang Jinghong on the mountaintop. His eyes were filled with hatred, unwillingness, and anger, but in the end, he closed his eyes helplessly and his body collapsed.
Fang Yuchen looked sideways at Tang Jinghong on the mountaintop and was filled with admiration. Tang Jinghong could shoot someone from such a distance. His archery skills were simply godly.
He retracted his gaze and shouted, “The Lord of the Northern Border is dead. Surrender and you will live.”
A soldier immediately echoed, “The Lord of the Northern Border is dead. Surrender and you will live.”
Soon, the battlefield was filled with the voices of “The Lord of the Northern Border is dead. Surrender and you will live!” The war immediately stopped. The northern border soldiers looked at each other, looking confused.
Clang.
Clang.
They dropped their weapons one after another. Their lord was already dead, so what was the point of fighting?
The rebellion that the fake Lord of the Northern Border had painstakingly prepared ended just like that!
Chu Qingzhi and Tang Jinghong landed on the battlefield and arrived in front of the fake Lord of the Northern Border.
Chu Qingzhi fetched a ladle of water and splashed it on the fake Lord of the Northern Border’s face. After a while, she took off his mask.
Tang Jinghong called over a soldier from the northern border. “Do you recognize him?”
The soldiers were dumbfounded. The Lord of the Northern Border they were loyal to was actually a guard beside the Lord of the Northern Border. “His name is Qin Mian. He was the guard of the Lord of the Northern Border. Later, after he went out with the Lord of the Northern Border to hunt, he disappeared. The Lord of the Northern Border said that he had left.”
Tang Jinghong waved his hand. “You can leave.”
“Yes.”
Tang Jinghong got someone to tie up Qin Mian’s corpse and place it in the center of the battlefield. Soon, the news of the fake Lord of the Northern Border spread to everyone. The northern border soldiers no longer resisted. They felt that what they had been doing all along was ridiculous.
From the Lord of the Northern Border’s pocket, Chu Qingzhi also found the list of spies from An Huai Kingdom. Tang Jinghong immediately sent people to verify and eradicate the spies one by one.
Another thing was that only the fake Lord of the Northern Border knew where the person who modified the crossbow was. Now that the fake Lord of the Northern Border was dead, no one knew where he was.
Tang Jinghong was disappointed. He came specially for this person, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
Seeing that Tang Jinghong was frowning, Chu Qingzhi said, “Jinghong, we still have two days before going back. Why don’t we try to look for that person while we can? We’ll do our best and leave the rest to fate. What do you think?”
Tang Jinghong nodded. “1’11 listen to you.”
Qin mansion.
At this moment, the imposing Qin mansion was already empty, leaving only a gray-clothed old woman. It was cold and bleak.
The old woman made a fish today. She ate half of it and left half. Then, she carried it to the most imposing courtyard.
There was a person here. He was very pitiful. He had no legs and could only walk in a wheelchair. His face was covered in a beard and he looked sloppy.
The old woman pushed the door open and entered the room. Immediately, the smell of wood assaulted her.
The room was filled with wood, be it on the ground or on the table. The wood was used to make crossbows. There were many crossbows on the wooden shelves against the wall, some good and some bad, as if they were on display.
“It’s time to eat.”
She said to herself in a very sad and helpless voice, “There are fewer and fewer people in the house. It’s just us now. The food is not good, but make do with it.:
“I’m not in good health. I might die one day. If one day, 1 didn’t bring you food, it means that I’m already dead.”
The sloppy man stopped what he was doing. “Where did they go?”
The old woman sighed. “I don’t know either. Eldest Young Master is coming back less and less. Second Miss and Third Young Master are missing. They haven’t been seen for many days.”
The man stared at the crossbow in his hand and did not move. This had never happened before. Had the Lord of the Northern Border started to take action?
“Thank you for bringing me food.”
The old woman nodded and left the room.
The man looked up at the old woman’s back and muttered, “They might never come back.”
After a while, he pushed the wheelchair over to eat. After eating, he continued to study the crossbow in his hand.
He had already invented a crossbow that could shoot 30 consecutive arrows.. Now, he was trying to improve it to 4.0 consecutive arrows and was preparing to increase the accuracy…
