Chapter 235 - I Promise I'll Shock You out of Your Jowls
That night, almost all of the citizens of Kun City heard the loud noises. At first, some people thought that the Earth Dragon had flipped over, and ran out of the house in fright.
When they recognized the source of the sound, they thought that it was coming from the direction of the city gate. They thought that the Emperor had sent troops to attack the city, so they were unable to sleep even more.
Yin Xu exited the city in the opposite direction. Almost all of the city's soldiers and guards rushed towards the city gate.
From the memories he had obtained, the people that the Second Prince had brought with him were trapped in a gorge. The Kun City was from a mountain city, and after exiting the city, there were tall mountains on all four sides.
When the Second Prince had gotten the plan from the Duke of Qin, he had deliberately led the fifty thousand soldiers into the great canyon. He said that it was a secret passage to the Kun City, and when they arrived at the place they had set up, the surrounding mountain peaks would be filled with ambushing soldiers.
Those who were willing to follow Second Prince and submit to the Duke of Qin, and those who were not, were trapped in the canyon.
The terrain of this canyon was special. As long as a thousand people were dispatched from all four sides of the mountain, it would be impossible to open it.
In the end, almost thirty thousand soldiers were trapped here. Fortunately, the Duke of Qin wasn't a butcher, so he couldn't bear to kill these elite soldiers and attempt to subdue them.
Even so, many of the soldiers who couldn't be cured because they were sick or injured had also died.
When Yin Xu arrived, it was during the night when people were at their most tired. The entire valley was extremely quiet, with only the light from the bonfire flickering in the cold night.
He squatted on top of a big tree and observed for an hour. He found that there were indeed very few guards and they were not very vigilant. From the conversation between the two guards, he found out that the people at the bottom of the canyon were extremely weak due to lack of food.
In this kind of predicament, many soldiers wanted to surrender. After all, compared to loyalty, life was more important, but as long as someone surrendered, the general's sword would definitely come to pick them up. After a few times, no one dared to risk surrendering.
At the end of the day, it was all for the sake of survival.
Yin Xu saw the terrain and the situation, and quickly decided on a breakthrough. In a direct confrontation, these thousand guards would definitely not be a match for the twenty thousand people below him.
What Yin Xu wanted to do was to make a gap in the airtight barrel so that the water would flow out smoothly.
After Yin Xu made his decision, he no longer hid his whereabouts. The dark night was his domain, so he easily settled the two hundred people in one direction. The guards around him all heard the commotion and rushed over.
Yin Xu took a few pieces of firewood and threw them down the canyon, not caring if his actions would hurt anyone.
He raised his voice and shouted to the people below: “Everyone listen up, I am Huo Tian, as long as you still have breath, head in my direction, charge together.”
Yin Xu should really be grateful to help him spread his reputation, no matter if it was good or bad, at least when he said this name, everyone knew it.
Yin Xu called Qixin over, “Let's meet up with the group again and take down the Kun City together!”
“Alright!” Qixin immediately accepted the order and passed it down, but a man who looked like a military advisor on the side objected, “Commander Huo, General Zhi Qi, I do not think it is appropriate for us to attack the city now! “The soldiers' mental bodies are very tired, they have no power to continue fighting.” Even if he went, he would be courting death!
Qixin regained his senses and looked around. Seeing that everyone's exhaustion was written all over their faces, he found it hard to endure and immediately became low spirited. He said awkwardly to Yin Xu: “Master, can everyone rest for a day?”
Yin Xu shook his head, the other party was in disagreement: “I do not need you to attack the city, I will only bring you guys to harvest the results, as long as you guys still have the strength to go to Kun City, if you really cannot, then take it slow, it is not urgent.”
“...” What do you mean? You don't need us to attack the city? “Could it be ...” Qixin thought that since Yin Xu could stand here, then there would be many strong soldiers attacking from the Kun City side, so he would not need them.
Although it was a little regretful that he couldn't go out personally, Qixin was still happy when he thought about how no one would sacrifice themselves like this.
The group of people moved away the Kun City at a slow pace. Fortunately, this place wasn't far from the Kun City, and they had finally entered the city before daybreak.
The moment they entered the city, they discovered that the streets were completely silent. Logically speaking, it should be the peak hour for buying vegetables, could it be that everyone from Kun City woke up late?
With such suspicions, they followed Yin Xu all the way, and only when they neared the city gate did they realize that something was amiss.
Just now, they had come straight from the city, and had not been obstructed at all. In other words, they were now in cahoots with the outsiders!
Qixin passed down the order, “Brothers, keep your spirits up, if you meet any enemy, they will all be killed. This is all thanks to you, the last battle, let's go all out!”
“Yes sir!” When they heard that it was a battle for merit, the soldiers braced themselves and picked up their weapons, ready to fight at any time.
Yin Xu was silently walking in the front, but he was also not sure about the situation ahead. He was only confident in the people he had trained, even if they were outnumbered, as long as they displayed their abilities, he would definitely be able to intimidate the enemy.
A person's willpower can be very weak at times, scaring them can cause them to lose their will to fight.
When faced with a situation where there was no room for human disobedience, they often chose to compromise.
When Yin Xu brought his men to the city gate, the truth was very similar to what he had guessed earlier. There were already not many guards left here, and looking at their clothes, they should be the Duke of Qin and Second Prince's personal guards.
He blew a loud and clear whistle. The guards outside the city were as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They suddenly gathered together and unleashed a powerful move.
As a result, when Qixin and the rest approached the city wall, they suddenly felt the ground shaking and the mountains shaking. They did not know if it was because they were seeing things, but they could see the city wall trembling, as though it was about to collapse.
Qixin was so frightened that he couldn't move, and stammered: “Commander Huo ... How many people are attacking the city outside? Did you guys bring the most powerful siege equipment over? “
Yin Xu raised his chin and laughed, “You'll find out if you go and take a look yourself!” I promise I'll shock you out of your jaws!
