BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1167 - 1167: The Ending (16)
No one was injured because those who were injured died. When the Sacred Clan fought, they hit the nail on the head. To exaggerate, they did not look like soldiers on the battlefield, but more like well-trained assassins.
It was also at this moment that Xiao Zhenting really realized what they were facing.
This was… a veritable army of death!
The cavalry were stationed in the camp outside Yu City. In order to take revenge on them, the Sacred Clan launched a sneak attack at night, causing countless casualties in the Great Zhou.
When Yu Wan saw that she could no longer sit here, she decided to go south.
She did not know if it was because she had been here for too long, but she felt that she had completely become a person here. She had not thought of her previous life for a long time, as if those were just a distant dream.
Of course, it was not to the extent that she had a lot of ambition. At first, she only wanted to be a salted fish. Even after she became the Madam of the Young Master Manor, the Princely Heir Consort, and even the Regent Consort, she had never thought about what kind of achievements she would have.
It turned out that there were some things that she did not have to think about.
When the time came, she understood that she could not stay out of it.
It was not because she was noble enough, but because she was suitable. She was a doctor who could treat the injured. She was the Princess Consort who could stabilize the hearts of the people.
“Have you thought it through?” Prince Yan looked at Ah Wan, wanting to say,
“You haven’t finished your confinement yet.”
Yu Wan nodded. “I’ve thought about it.”
“You… don’t have any objections?” Prince Yan looked at Madam Jiang beside Yu Wan.
Madam Jiang looked at her daughter dotingly. “Ah Wan has grown up. She has her own decision. I’ll go wherever Ah Wan goes.”
Of course, Yu Wan did not agree to Madam Jiang going with her. How could she bring Mom to such a dangerous place?
Madam Jiang curled her lips. “You’re not allowed to go if you don’t bring me.”
Prince Yan nodded. “That’s right. If you don’t bring your mom along, don’t go either.”
Yu Wan:
Yu Wan did not understand. There was nothing wrong with my Mom’s words, but Father, why are you making a fuss? My mother is panting with every step she takes. It’s very dangerous to go to the battlefield with me, okay?
Yu Wan looked at the two of them in confusion, but they were very persistent, so much so that Yu Wan did not dissuade them in the end!
Forget it, forget it. At most, she would find a safe family to settle Mom down near the camp. After making up her mind, Yu Wan set off.
The camp where the Imperial Court’s army was stationed was in a village north of Yu City. The villagers had already been escorted away by the army. Ever since they ambushed each other, both sides had not fought head-on for a long time.
Xiao Zhenting was also a little confused. What strategy was the other party playing? Logically speaking, since the saint army was so powerful, they should be able to destroy everything wherever they went. Why didn’t they just attack the capital?
It would have been fine if they hadn’t been exposed, but now that both sides had fallen out, why were the saints still cooped up in Yu City? Could it be that in a few days, the Great Zhou’s anger would subside and they wouldn’t settle the score with them?
A few days later, the Great Zhou’s infantry arrived. Including the twenty thousand cavalry, there were a total of a hundred thousand soldiers.
That night, the saint army attacked their camp.
Xiao Zhenting was dumbfounded when he saw the black army rushing over. “No way? They didn’t come earlier or later. They only came when the soldiers of the Great Zhou arrived. Don’t tell me they’re just waiting… to capture us all in one go?”
These bastards were too arrogant!
Xiao Zhenting immediately picked up his spear and rushed out.
Soon, Xiao Zhenting understood why the other party was so arrogant. Actually, the other party had only sent eight thousand elite soldiers, but they had beaten the hundred thousand soldiers of the Great Zhou into a pulp. The previous tactics had all lost their effectiveness when facing this army. It was not only because their martial strength was strong enough, but also because this group of people seemed to be immortal and were not afraid of pain at all.
Xiao Zhenting saw a headless corpse with his own eyes. He grabbed his spear and rushed into the crowd. When had the soldiers of Great Zhou ever seen such a lineup? All of them were dumbfounded.
This was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that the Great Zhou soldiers who had already fallen actually stood up with stunned expressions. Then, they grabbed their weapons and started killing their own people.
When Xiao Zhenting saw this, he felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat. He didn’t want the village anymore and retreated as far as he could.
In this battle, the casualties were not the most heavy, but the impact on the soldiers was unprecedented. They could still fight without their heads.. Were they still human? If their companions fell and lost their minds to become a part of the enemy, would they still be able to kill the enemy?
