Chapter 258

C258 – A Thousand Miles away

“Kill...” Deafening cries of war could be heard coming from the city gate into the capital of North Yue. The civilians closed their doors and windows and prayed to the gods and buddhas at all times. They hoped that the war would end soon.

“I heard that South Jin is full of barbarians who kill without batting an eye. Hurry up and beg the Bodhisattva to bless them and chase them out!” In a family’s house, the mistress put her palms together and murmured a few words of Amitabha.

Her youngest son refuted. “Mother, don’t listen to rumors. The people of South Jin are simple and honest, the officials are clean and honest, and there are people like the Crown Prince of South Jin who are both intelligent and brave, and there is also Crown Princess who is an immortal with both moral and talent. How can she be a barbarian?

Moreover, in recent years, the education in South Jin has been revitalized and the heavy farming has greatly increased the status of merchants. As long as one has the skills, one can get the attention of the Imperial Court. It has also broken the tradition of nobility being able to be an official. It is unknown how many times stronger he is compared to North Yue.”

“Is that really the case?”

It is not up to the child to decide whether or not this is the case. Why does the mother not wait for the war to end before looking at it with her eyes? ” If North Yue wins, what does it matter if what I said is true or false? “

Above the city, Wang Dingjun looked at the peaceful city and turned his head. “Your Highness, it seems that the mister is right. The civilians in the city did not join hands with the North Vietnam Army to fight back.”Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

“The civilians are nothing to worry about. The civilians in the North Yue are all ordinary people who are used to living a comfortable life. Even if the soldiers come to the city, they may not have the courage to fight back.” Even if it was not the case, if the common people really wanted to fight against the army, they would not be able to do it with just a brave heart.

“Does the student that mister mentioned really have that kind of courage?” It was not that Wang Dingjun looked down on scholars, but he felt that scholars only knew how to talk. If they were really allowed to hold a knife and a gun, Not as good as civilians.

“The courage of scholars lies in their souls. You only need to think about it based on the character of the Prime Minister and Xue Tingwei.”

“This...” Wang Dingjun was speechless. If there were thousands of scholars like Prime Minister and Vice Captain in North Yue City, how would they fight?

They couldn’t really kill all of these people. Wouldn’t South Jin be notorious for harming the common people?

“Report... the enemy only has twenty thousand men left. General Li suggested opening the city gate and going out to surround the enemy! ” Your Highness, please give the order! “

Crown Prince Zhao stood on the city wall and looked down at the red-eyed North Vietnam Army. His gaze fell on the commander in the middle of the enemy and guessed that he was the Second Prince of North Yue.

In fact, this Second Prince was not young anymore. He was close to the age of 40. His facial features were deep, and his eyes were bright. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were on opposing sides, Crown Prince Zhao would have admired this man quite a lot.

At this moment, they were mortal enemies who would not rest until they died!

The capital was the capital of North Yue. Now, the defending side had become the army of South Jin, but they had families that they could not return to, and doors that they could not enter. What a joke!

“Villagers and elders in the city, are you going to watch your children and grandchildren die in front of your house without doing anything? ” Do you want a white-haired man to see a thief go and make the decision? ” Come out and see your family. They are being wantonly slaughtered, and their heroic souls are buried under the ground forever. Can you still feel at ease and hide in your home without doing anything?

Your cowardice, your cowardice will only make your loved ones and your enemies faster, and become accomplices to the slaughter of your compatriots. Do you wish for your descendants to die with everlasting regret, and to live the rest of their lives in pain and regret?

Come out and see how your loved ones are killed by a knife and an arrow. Their blood is still hot. They just want to see it before they die. This is your last meeting. This capital is already a bloodbath of the capital. Can’t you smell the blood of this city? ... “”

Wang Dingjun took out a large crossbow and nocked an iron arrow as thick as an arm. He aimed it at the general who shouted and shot out an arrow.

But it was useless. If one died, another person would stand up and shout. Their voices were very penetrating, as if they wanted to wake up the souls of millions of people.

“Your Highness...” Wang Dingjun stared at the back of the city, afraid that the people in the city would come out from the back. At that time, would they kill or not? Even if they wanted to kill them, would they be able to kill them all?

If they really did such a thing, Crown Prince’s reputation in this life would be ruined.

Crown Prince Zhao said calmly, “Open the gate. Attack at full speed. End the battle quickly.”

The heavy gate slowly opened. Rows of orderly soldiers ran out. The sounds of killing could be heard without end. The great momentum caused the North Vietnam Army to retreat dozens of steps.

“Don’t retreat! Kill! Wang Ziteng was the first to charge out with his weapon in hand. With him leading the charge, the rest of the soldiers no longer retreated. They marched forward bravely and swore to fight to the death with the South Jin army.

In Jingdu City, only the civilians near the city gates could hear the excited shouts of the North Yue army. However, the people living in this area were all poor people. Many of them were refugees from other places. They had no home to return to and even had their wives and children separated. The arduous escape made their feelings less and colder than the ordinary people.

They were used to seeing life and death, so how could they sacrifice their lives for this cold imperial court?

Few civilians who were grateful to the Imperial Court of North Yue rushed out with wooden sticks in their hands. However, when they saw the fully armed South Jin Army, they were scared out of their wits. How could they dare to fight the enemy with wooden sticks in their hands?

Courage was a matter of courage. When there were more people, there would naturally be more. If there were less people, their courage would be broken and they would be left in a thousand miles.

Thus, the few civilians looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In the end, when no one came out to respond, they all returned home.

When the door closed, it would be difficult to open it again.
