"Do you want to surrender obediently, or do you want to taste the swords of our brothers!"
Chen Kangjian continued shouting in a provocative voice.
Shen Wantang looked at the other person steadily.
Cen Xiao raised his hands high and then suddenly let go.
On the city wall, the soldiers who had already drawn their bows released them, and arrows flew down like raindrops.
The city gate slowly opened and the soldiers poured out.
"kill!"
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky around the city gate, accompanied by the loud voices of the soldiers, and a battle was about to break out.
As agreed beforehand, after the soldiers left, several officers who were guarding behind the city gate poured molten copper on the gate and welded it firmly shut.
Dai Ying walked forward delicately with the short blade in hand.
The fancy fighting skills of the young masters in the capital are indeed slightly inferior on the battlefield.
Fortunately, he was smart. He threw down the short blade, picked up the long sword on the ground, and continued fighting.
Having never killed an enemy before, Dai Ying's hands were naturally unfamiliar. When he killed an enemy in front of him, his legs went weak for a moment.
Shen Wantang jumped down from the city wall, pointed the sword in his hand at the enemy's heart, rushed forward, and grabbed Dai Ying.
"Don't be distracted on the battlefield!" Shen Wantang frowned and rebuked harshly.
Cen Xiao and the deputy general also followed closely behind Shen Wantang.
Although there are only 5,000 people in Hong County, all of them are elite soldiers and have some skills.
The opponent came with great force, but his kung fu was really not up to par.
Smoke rose up and all that could be heard was the sound of horses' hooves rushing towards Shen Wantang.
Shen Wantang rolled over and jumped up, immediately avoiding the piercing spear.
With a turn, the sword stabbed the horse's leg.
The horse was startled, and Chen Kangjian jumped off the horse, and the two men started to wrestle with each other.
People who have been with Prince Duanxian are truly different. They are agile and quick in their moves.
For a moment, Shen Wantang staggered and almost couldn't hold on.
She took two steps back suddenly, and stuck her sword into the ground, only then did she stop retreating.
But before she could react, the long-haired creature pierced through her again.
Suddenly, a sword shadow flashed by, and a figure stood in front of Shen Wantang.
Cen Xiao stretched out his hand and pulled Shen Wantang up.
The three continued to wrestle with each other.
The battle lasted from night to dawn.
The sky was turning pale, but the sounds of fighting did not stop.
The city gate was hit countless times, and even the molten copper could not hold out. The century-old city gate collapsed.
Some insurgents took this opportunity to run into the city, killing people and setting fire.
Although they were all killed in the end, the city actually burned for a long time.
The sun slowly rose and the soldiers were exhausted.
Most of Chen Kangjian's rebel army had been wiped out, but the soldiers in Hong County suffered few casualties.
Even Chen Kangjian himself was badly injured.
"withdraw!"
Seeing that the battle situation was not right, Chen Kangjian dodged the attacks of the two men, jumped onto a horse beside him, waved the reins and prepared to leave.
With Chen Kangjian's words, the rebels dropped their belongings and fled in panic.
After fighting all night, Shen Wantang didn't feel tired at all.
Cen Xiao became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His eyes were already red. Seeing Chen Kangjian fleeing in panic, he walked forward to chase and kill him.
Shen Wantang suddenly grabbed his wrist: "Don't chase me."
"If we don't take this opportunity to wipe them out in one fell swoop, there will be endless troubles!" Cen Xiao frowned.
"They are going back to the mountain city! How many rebels do you know about the number of insurgents in the mountain city? They are like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth. What do you want me to do?"
Shen Wantang was hysterical.
After he finished speaking, Cen Xiao was stunned for a moment, staring at Shen Wantang in front of him thoughtfully.
Perhaps realizing that he had said something wrong, Shen Wantang coughed lightly and turned to look at Hong County where flames were shooting into the sky.
"The fire was too big. Hong County also needs to be rebuilt." She calmed herself down and spoke slowly.
Outside the city, soldiers were picking up the corpses on the ground.
Dai Ying was carried back on a stretcher.
But the fire was so big that it burned down four or five streets.
Even though the soldiers tried their best to fetch water to put out the fire, it was just a drop in the bucket.
If this continues, I'm afraid the entire Hong County will be engulfed by this fire...
"What should we do?" The soldiers rushed forward and asked Shen Wantang hurriedly.
Shen Wantang raised his head calmly, looking at the sun that had not risen today, and he already had the answer in his heart: "Don't worry, the rain will fall naturally."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud thunder resounded through the sky.
Everyone raised their heads.
The raindrops fell slowly and landed on everyone's cheeks.
Then, the rain got heavier and heavier, and people cheered and jumped in the rain, celebrating the victory of the war.
Shen Wantang raised her head and looked at the horizon. She let out a long sigh.
As expected, she remembered correctly. In her previous life, it was on this day that Hong County entered the plum rain season.
The fires inside and outside the city were extinguished by the heavy rain.
But it’s too early to be happy now.
Shen Wantang was in no hurry to relax and called his men: "Send someone to check the dam 30 kilometers away. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Don't let it collapse."
Although this rain is timely, it will break the river bank in a few days. All the villages within a hundred miles will be flooded, and eventually the crops will fail.
In the previous life, I went through a disastrous year because of this.
Shen Wantang felt uneasy.
It rained heavily for three days and three nights. The soldiers rested in the city, and all the pharmacies donated all the medicinal materials to treat the soldiers.
In the county government office, outside Cen Xiao’s room.
The candlelight flickered, casting Cen Xiao's shadow on the window.
The man was shirtless, with countless scars of varying sizes on his body.
The scar on his arm had now festering and bleeding. The man endured the pain. The deputy general came by and dipped a towel in liquor and wiped the man's wound.
"Prince, please bear with it for a moment. I will be there soon." The deputy general also had sweat on his forehead. He tried to remain calm and fetched the needle and thread.
Cen Xiao gritted his teeth and waited silently for the deputy general to suture his wound.
The donated blood dripped down the skin into the brass basin. Cen Xiao's face turned pale and beads of sweat the size of beans kept falling from his forehead. The man just closed his eyes and looked as if nothing had happened.
Shen Wantang had been busy these days comforting and settling the injured soldiers, and hadn't seen Cen Xiao.
On the battlefield, he protected Shen Wantang behind him, but Chen Kangjian's spear pierced deeply into his arm.
Shen Wantang took some medicinal herbs, invited a doctor over, and walked along the corridor towards Cen Xiao's room.
The rain still didn't stop, but it was much lighter.
The deputy general tremblingly offered the last needle and then breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, Cen Xiao's face had already turned pale, and his numb arms could no longer feel the pain. He stabbed hard and fainted beside him.
