Chapter 010 is in disarray
Yang Lianting's face turned ashen, and with a cold snort, he said: "I only lost over 5,000 people, yet you, old man, are the one who will be sacrificed by me."
"You dare to kill my personal guard? Bring me those ignorant fools and bind them!" Yang Lianting rushed over in a fit of rage upon learning that his personal guard had been killed.
Now, fewer people are dying during the retreat. Although the rocky beach is inevitably caught in the opponent's net, one must enter the enemy's net, and the sooner, the better. If one delays even a little, once the water comes, not to mention retreating, not even a single chicken will be able to escape.
The lieutenant was originally a subordinate of Han Laisheng. Upon seeing Han Laisheng draw his knife and take action, he naturally did not hesitate to raise the sword in his hand and began to encircle and attack the four individuals.
Han Laisheng and the Lieutenant of the Interior can both be considered individuals who have emerged from a sea of corpses and rivers of blood. Particularly the Lieutenant of the Interior, whose skills are truly remarkable; the four personal guards of Yang Lianting were almost entirely unable to resist before being killed by the two.
However, Xia Changyong himself did not understand military affairs, and he subconsciously felt that Yang Lianting's words were not without reason. Therefore, although he was angry about Yang Lianting placing him under house arrest, it had not yet reached his bottom line
Under the pressure of anger and anxiety, Xia Changyong found himself at a loss as to what to do, especially since he had never experienced such a grand scale of turmoil before. Soon, an army of one hundred thousand was on the verge of total annihilation
"Han Duyi, please kill these few people immediately." At this moment, Xia Changyong's face was already ashen, and he could no longer afford to address Han Laisheng as his nephew.
Not right, there is no dock, taking a boat? I understand now, Xia Changyong suddenly stood up; he finally figured out why the army of Liujin Kingdom was not afraid of the dam breaking. It was exactly as that little soldier said, they were waiting for Zheyun Kingdom to breach the dam, so they could engage in naval warfare.
"Let's go." Upon hearing Han Laisheng's words, Xia Changyong immediately followed Han Laisheng and the lieutenant, quickly disappearing among the numerous soldiers
Upon witnessing the flames soaring into the sky, Xia Changyong murmured a few incomprehensible words, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood
Yang Lianting frowned, "How could it possibly catch fire?"
Xia Changyong let out a cold snort: "A real man faces death without fear; is it possible that I would still be afraid of this ruffian?"
However, no matter how angry he is, this place belongs to Yang Lianting; he can do as he pleases. At this moment, the sounds of troop movements outside have long since subsided. Xia Changyong knows that the surprise attack has already begun tonight. It seems that the little soldier named Xie Xi was not mistaken at all.
There is nothing more, they only mentioned that they need to break through by boat, and nothing else was said. The lieutenant is also at a loss; over the past two days, this question has been asked several times.
I unexpectedly forgot to continue investigating the matter of Xia Changyong
"No, I must go meet Yang Lianting." Xia Changyong could no longer remain seated. He had originally harbored thoughts similar to those of Yang Lianting, and perhaps this time he would truly overwhelm the other party. After all, the speculation was merely that of a low-ranking soldier, and the conjecture of a low-ranking soldier is always difficult to take seriously.
Han Laisheng also understood that not killing the four guards at this moment would lead to a dead end. Without waiting for Xia Changyong to continue giving orders, he picked up the thick-backed broadsword in his hand and struck at the four men.
Han Laisheng's words caused Xia Changyong to feel a chill, although Han Laisheng spoke harshly, using vulgar language, it is indeed possible that this incident occurred to Yang Lianting, not just possible, but it is certain that it happened this way
Xia Changyong shook his head and sat down helplessly. He thought to himself, since this young soldier knows that delivering the message could lead to death, why would he actively volunteer for the task? With his intelligence, how could he possibly choose to face death?
"Yang Lianting, you wretch, you have caused the complete loss of my 100,000 soldiers in the Xiangcheng camp, yet you do not immediately order a retreat..." Before Xia Changyong's words had finished, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, and the sounds of shouting and killing could be clearly heard even from the Xiangcheng camp.
The entire Xiangcheng camp immediately became chaotic, but fortunately, the water had not yet flooded in, and the enemy's warships had not arrived. Although it was chaotic, the retreat soon began.
However, it has now become clear that the other party is emboldened, and he can no longer remain in the military camp. Han Laisheng was also taken aback; upon hearing Xia Changyong's words, he understood the gravity of the situation.
Hahaha... Xia Changyong looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, yet there was not a trace of amusement on his face. He pointed at Yang Lianting and said, "Over five thousand people, you pig, are still thinking about over five thousand people. Soon, when others breach the dam, the water will quickly flood our camp. When the water reaches here, it will be the time for their warships to arrive. You should escape; right now, the rocky beach is waiting for you like a vast net of books."
Although Xia Changyong was very angry, he had no way to express it. Both he and Han Laisheng were kept under guard, not even allowed to leave the military camp for a moment, and there was someone watching them even when they needed to use the restroom. Even the lieutenant was similarly placed under house arrest.
The thunderous sound of "rumble rumble" echoed, and Yang Lianting's face lit up with joy, "Haha, we have finally succeeded in breaching the dam"
Yang Lianting suddenly seemed to recall something and said to an officer behind him: "You immediately take people to bring back the heads of Xia Changyong, Han Laisheng, and that captain under him."
Han Laisheng shook his head secretly and said: "Lord Xia is certainly not afraid of him, but if we are killed by this person, then it will be up to him to explain to His Majesty. How would His Majesty know the specific circumstances of this battle? Perhaps he will even place the blame squarely on the Lord. Does the Lord really wish to bear such a heavy burden? Even if the Lord is willing to bear such a heavy burden, should he not consider his family in the capital? This is a crime that could lead to the extermination of nine clans"
"Immediately assemble the troops; retreat to Landslide Beach now." Yang Lianting is finally not too incompetent; although he enjoys theoretical discussions, he understands that retreating to Landslide Beach now is certainly different from retreating there later when the flood arrives.
Upon hearing Xia Changyong's words, Yang Lianting's expression changed dramatically, as he finally understood the gravity of the situation
You pig, they are hiding thousands of warships in the basin, just waiting for you, you bastard, to release the water. Xia Changyong pointed at Yang Lianting and cursed loudly, but his hand trembled uncontrollably
"Master Xia, this Yang Lianting is obstinate and petty. At this moment, he is preoccupied with his retreat and has temporarily forgotten about us. When he remembers, he will undoubtedly want to kill us to feel at ease" Han Laisheng whispered to Xia Changyong.
Where can one take a boat? There aren't any docks here; the nearest dock is at the Lower He Ba.
Now go find that scoundrel Yang Lianting. Xia Changyong, filled with rage, stepped over the bodies of the four guards.
He is truly a mere talker, a scoundrel. Now he can only pin his hopes on the possibility that the other party is indeed as Yang Lianting envisioned, although it seems quite unlikely. Lieutenant, did that little soldier really not say anything else before leaving? It appears that Xia Changyong is still unwilling to accept this.
"Mr. Xia, we will leave immediately," Han Laisheng said as he pulled Xia Changyong aside
