Chapter 1131 - 1131 South Point of San City
The sound of horses galloping could be heard even from a distance away. At this moment, it was not only a battle against Wei Da Kingdom but also a race of time.
Long Qian Xing was paying close attention to the time limit that was given to them. He knew very well that General Chi was partially suicidal because of the past experience, but he was still a capable general.
This rage would definitely be the most useful to be used against the enemy’s soldiers.
What he needed was others to back him up.
“Young Master, the South Point is close.”
“You’ll be the one to take over the city.” Long Qian Xing casted his gaze towards the valley nearby. He had keen instinct and could guess that the enemies were gathering in the open area rather than inside the city.
This south point has always been filled with battles.
On their way here, Long Qian Xing had already encountered several armies.
.....
“Young Master!” Long Xu was a bit taken aback. If he were to leave, wouldn’t it mean that Long Qian Xing’s army will be lesser?
Even though Long Qian Xing officially only 5000 men commander, his army actually consisted more than that. It was because his commanders were also having their own armies yet they still followed him.
One of them was Long Xu, who was a 3000 men commander on his own.
“Take that city down.”
Long Qian Xing then directed his horse towards other side and yelled for the other soldiers to follow him.
Long Xu was stunned. He then sighed and waved his hand, indicating for the soldiers to follow him to take over the South Point City.
The South Point City had been under attack countless times in the past.
It couldn’t be helped as this city was one of the few cities that located right at the border between Wei Da Kingdom and Zhang Xu Kingdom. It was now bordering Fei Yang Kingdom, though.
“Charge!”
“Uoooooooooooooooo!”
The soldiers moved with high spirit, rushing towards their destination. Many of them had prepared the necessary ladders to climb up.
This was the tactic that had been agreed upon before.
They will take over the city through the traditional methods and forcefully break inside.
Bang!
“Fight!”
“UOoooooooooo!”
Amidst the scream and shouts, Long Qian Xing led his soldiers to face Wei Da Kingdom’s soldiers who were already lying in wait. The ambush failed terribly and the two armies clashed head on.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Slash!
Long Qian Xing killed the soldiers swiftly, leading his army to pry deeper and killed as many soldiers as possible.
The battle was swift and the commanders there didn’t have a chance to counterattack as Long Qian Xing practically crushed them. The so called number advantage played no role when facing Long Qian Xing like this.
He simply crushed them in the simplest and efficient way.
When it was evening, Long Xu regrouped after sending signal flare for reinforcement to take over the South Point. They didn’t have enough manpower to be left behind as their number was limited.
“Young Master, the South Point has fallen and is in our hand.” Long Xu gave concise and short report.
Long Qian Xing nodded. He didn’t really care about that city. “How’s the condition of the wall?”
“The wall has been repaired a few times because of the previous battle history. It can be seen that they’re not as good as they used to be.” Long Xu naturally did preliminary check on the city after he had conquered it.
This was one of the few things that they had to do because if they wanted to make the city as their waypoint, they had to make sure that they knew the city well and could design the proper defense in accordance to how the city was built.
If they didn’t properly make the proper defense, it was estimated that the city will fall again right after they take it over.
Wouldn’t that be a joke?
“Layout.”
“Here, Young Master.”
Long Qian Xing looked at the city’s layout and clicked his tongue. The way this city was built told him that it was an old city that was built probably 100 years ago. At that time, the structure and strategy was not the same as it is now and naturally could not be as advanced.
The materials might have long been degraded.
This city wouldn’t be able to last long.
“Tell them that the city had to be abandoned. The people will be moved later after the entire area is secured.” Long Qian Xing tossed the layout away.
Just from seeing it, he knew that this city was hopeless.
Even if he wanted to keep it, it was the same as keeping a time bomb that could explode at any time.
“Then…”
“Leave it be for now. Leave a part of the army to stay here. The rest will follow me to the middle.”
“Yes, Young Commander!”
Long Qian Xing settled everything quickly and then set their camp. He issued strict order for the soldiers to rest for the time being before they departed once more. There was not much time left, so he had to hurry.
Looking into the distance, Long Qian Xing muttered in his heart.
‘I hope he’s not so reckless.’
…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
For the next day, Long Qian Xing made his way towards the middle point, killing the armies that he encountered on the way. He could see the dust from the east direction and guessed that General Chi had already reached the middle point and attacked directly.
These soldiers were mostly scattered to the three cities.
However, the biggest army actually located in the middle of these three cities and responsible for sending reinforcement.
It was clear that they had already moved somewhat to the east in order to deal with General Chi.
“Charge!” Long Qian Xing yelled his order when he saw the sea of soldiers in front of him. His heart tightened a bit because of the differences in number, but he calmed down again.
No matter whether they had advantage in number or not, what was important was for him to deal with the leader.
