C407

Under Yun Zihuang's orders, a portion of the personal guards had already come out. Carrying a series of crossbows, they left the place where the Northern Slaves were kneeling and were shot by an arrow. As long as these slaves dared to make any more movements, they would be killed immediately. Three crossbow bolts could be shot out separately or at the same time. These slaves who didn't have any armor or shields were completely unable to stop the tyrannical series of crossbows.

Hearing the leader's loud shout, the people were not unmoved. A few simple-minded people from the northern region had their chests pierced by a series of crossbows the moment they jumped, falling to the ground. They were still gasping for breath but could not get up.

Seeing this scene, and seeing the personal guards mounted on the best war horses, equipped with the best armoured weapons and holding a crossbow in their hands, the Northern Slaves didn't dare to act rashly. This was because they had seen with their own eyes that there were four quiver full of crossbow bolts hanging from the sides of the saddle of these guards' horses. There were at least a hundred of them!

Without shields and weapons, what could they use to defend against these sharp arrows?

Not to mention, these people were all cavalry soldiers. Even if they had all the crossbows and arrows, they still had their war horses and sabers. They would still be able to kill quite a few of them. If they couldn't beat him, wouldn't the cavalry army be able to run?

Many of them didn't even have a pair of shoes. How could they catch up to these cavalrymen with their bare feet?

Rows of cavalrymen lined up not far in front of them. Each of them was carrying a series of crossbows, the kind of deadly weapon that would scare the people of the northern region away. They would never, ever, dare to forget that it was this exact weapon that they had never seen before in their battle against the Wind Chasing Army not long ago that had reaped the lives of countless valiant warriors from the northern region. They remembered even more clearly that it was this kind of great killing weapon that had caused their most elite cavalry soldiers to fall under their horses without even having the chance to approach them.

Ouyang Baofeng had given up many areas where the plague origin was hidden to the people of the northern region. He had lost too many towns and cities, and then ordered the Wind Chasing Army, which had already compressed their defensive line, to not take the initiative to attack.

When the people from the northern region attacked, they would only use their bows and crossbows to shoot, not allow the people from the northern region to come close.

This was also one of the most important reasons why the plague spread only among the enemy troops and not the Wind Chasing Army and the northern border.

The Northern Slaves kneeling on the ground tilted their heads, sneakily glancing at the personal guards. Although there weren't many of them, it seemed as if the four quiver of arrows hung on the backs of every single one of their warhorses. Furthermore, each quiver had several dozen crossbow bolts within it. This number was simply too frightening!

Originally, thousands of Northern Slaves had rebelled, but now, at most, a thousand of them were still able to kneel here.

The first sneak attack had left more than a thousand corpses in a few breaths' time, and now there were only so few left. The personal guards were unharmed and were eyeing them covetously.

Yun Yin glanced at Feng Dingdang, "Bring a few men and capture that leader. Kill all those who dare resist. If anyone were to raise their head and steal a peek, they will be killed without mercy! "

"Understood."

Feng Ding immediately brought a few people with him, and rode his horse to rush over. The slaves that were kneeling on the ground deeply prostrated on the ground, no one dared to move. Feng Ming had ordered a few men to break out and request for reinforcements, and after rushing out, only two personal guards were sent to inform him of the arrival of reinforcements, then turned around and came back to kill them.

The leader also knew that the situation was hopeless and could not help but gnash his teeth in hatred. These idiots who were kneeling down and waiting for their deaths would no longer listen to his orders. There were only a few people left. He did not want to be captured alive. When he saw Feng Dingdang and the others rush towards him, he also had a few people from the northern region rushing towards him. They wanted to capture him to atone for his sins.

The leader let out a long sigh and shouted, "Heaven does not bless me!"

The blade flipped over, the blade mercilessly hacking down on his neck, instantly causing blood to spurt out from his neck artery. His body swayed a few times before he fell head first onto the ground. The leader committed suicide. The few people around him knew that if they were captured alive, it would be a hundred times more painful than death. They would also commit suicide with the weapons in their hands, but a few would still be captured alive by their personal guards.

Yun Zihuang whispered a few sentences into Yun Yin's ears, and Yun Yin immediately issued an order: "Chief Qian, each of you bring your subordinates, from the north, south and east, searching for the remnants of the traitors and slaves, killing them without pardon!"

"Yes sir!"

The guards exchanged glances. There were five hundred of them in total, so how could there be a Chief Qian? It was obvious that their princess consort was using a suspicious tactic. They had all agreed very loudly. The Northern Traitors were all kneeling on the ground. They didn't even dare to raise their heads. Someone had peeked at them and was immediately shot to death. No one dared to move again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the personal guards had already withdrawn their arrows. There were too many of the crossbow bolts that had been shot at the people of the northern region, and quite a few of them had filled their quiver.

"All slaves, kneel in front of the forest, if you dare to raise your head and move, kill without mercy!"

Yun Yin's voice was filled with a cold killing intent as he sent a group of guards to monitor the slaves. Hearing the order, the traitors felt uneasy. This time, the rebellion had failed. The generals and leaders had committed suicide, and those who died were caught alive. Even though they were traitors, they didn't know what kind of punishment they would receive. Although it was said that they could kneel down and avoid death, it was impossible for them to not be punished.

Right now, he could only leave it to fate. He could only kneel and crawl towards the nearby forest.

"Those who can't make it to the forest within ten years are to be killed. One!"

Yun Yin counted without mercy. The traitors were so scared that they scrambled to their knees and crawled towards the forest. Even the injured traitors had to kneel down and crawl over, praying that this general would count a bit slower. Under the threat of life, all of these traitors, with the exception of a few who were severely injured, crawled to the front of the forest on their knees. They followed the instructions and turned around, kneeling before the guards.

The heavily injured traitor who could not climb to the front of the forest within ten seconds was beheaded on the spot, and his head was kicked in front of the traitor who was kneeling in front of the forest.

Half of the guards jumped off their horses and ran to the corpses on the ground. They checked one by one to see if any of the slaves were still breathing. They would behead any traitors and take back their crossbows. Yun Yin sent another group of personal guards to clean up the battlefield, kill the injured traitors and retrieve all the crossbow bolts.

Then, the guards ordered the traitors to stand up and escort the slaves back. The rebels then led the way and moved away the obstacles. He ordered these betrayed slaves to run all the way, and sent a group of guards to chase them down. These traitors ran away desperately, only wishing that their parents had given them two less legs. They waited until the reinforcements that Feng Dingdang had sent to request came, then they ordered the reinforcements to search everywhere closely, to capture the other traitors, and to count the number of traitors.

Yun Yin said coldly, "We shouldn't have allowed these wolf pup's lives to live. We still have to save them. I hope that the wangfei will not penetrate any deeper into the quarantine."
