The sounds of horns and war drums continued. The sounds of battle, shouts, and wails filled the world.
The messenger shuttled through the battlefield. Every once in a while, he would report the specific situation of the battle to Han Tong, who was behind the camp.
“General, General Song Zhong asked me to tell you that the city gate of Nanling Pass will definitely be broken in 15 minutes.”
“Another 15 minutes?” Han Tong was clearly dissatisfied with this speed. He cursed, “What trash.”
This time was different from the previous time when they deliberately attacked the morale of Great Xia’s soldiers. It was a proper siege. Not to mention 15 minutes, dozens of soldiers died in the blink of an eye.
It had to be known that they still had to continue deeper into Great Xia and attack Chang’an. The more people died now, the harder it would be later.
Han Tong pondered for a moment and raised his hand as if he had made a decision.
At this moment, an arrow that seemed to carry the strength of a thousand troops passed through most of the battlefield and shot towards him with a fierce sound.
Han Tong was first shocked, but he was an experienced general after all. He quickly calmed down and shouted with disdain, “Defensive array.”
The well-trained iron armored soldiers surrounding him rode over and surrounded him layer by layer. There were a total of three layers.
Every armored soldier was still holding their shields in front of them, firmly protecting Han Tong in the middle.
Although the range of the arrow was indeed amazing, it had to travel in a
straight line. Even if it could turn, it would not be able to penetrate the bodies of three armored soldiers and penetrate three shields to injure Han Tong.
This was what the Wu Kingdom’s army thought when they saw the arrows fly out. This was what the soldiers in the defensive formation thought too, along with Han Tong.
However, there would always be exceptions.
The sound of sharp arrows entering the body sounded one after another. It finally stopped when the fourth sound sounded.
What was even more terrifying was that in the next moment, the three armored soldiers in front of Han Tong exploded on the spot because of the impact of the arrows. Blood splattered all over the surrounding armored soldiers’ faces, and Han Tong was exposed to everyone again.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that Han Tong did not even have time to retract the disdain on his face.
He lowered his head in disbelief and looked at the long arrow that only revealed a portion of its feather in front of his chest.
“How is this possible?” How could there be such a powerful arrow?
No, it should be said that a bow that could shoot an arrow so far away must be a heavy bow. With such power, it was even a heavy bow that even Bu Ren, who was born with divine strength, could not pull.
Who was it? Who exactly was it?
Blood kept flowing out of his mouth, and his internal energy tore through his body because of this huge impact.
“General Han!”
He vaguely heard someone calling out to him in fear, but he was no longer in the mood to care. He raised his head with difficulty and looked in the direction of the city tower.
Han Tong’s body exploded.
The last scene reflected in his pupils was a general in armor embracing a petite woman on the battlements of the distant city tower. Their hands were overlapping on the same bow.
“Hubby, we did it.” Shen Yijia turned around happily to look at the man behind her, her face flushed with excitement.
The soldiers on the city tower reacted faster than Song Jingchen. Almost as soon as Shen Yijia finished speaking, deafening cheers spread.
“Han Tong is dead!”
“Han Tong was shot dead by our General Song!”
“Han Tong was killed by our General Song and his wife!”
They had watched as General Song’s wife pulled the bow, while General Song aimed it at Han Tong.
When the last sentence sounded, everyone was silent for a moment. Then, as if they had unified their words, they shouted, “Han Tong was killed by our
General Song and his wife.”
Xiao Qirui got someone to beat the war drums at the right time.
It had been two months, and many of their generals had died. This was the first time they had killed an enemy general, and it was the commander-in-chief.
They had waited too long for this moment.
Song Jingchen smiled and rubbed Shen Yijia’s head. “Yes, you did it.”
The morale of the soldiers continued to rise under this cheer, and the attacks on the Wu Kingdom soldiers outside the city wall became more and more violent. If not for the general’s orders, they would have rushed down the city wall and fought the Wu Kingdom soldiers.
On the other hand, the Wu Kingdom’s army had long been flustered by the news of Han Tong’s death. They looked behind them in fear. The archers had forgotten to draw their bows, and the soldiers hanging on the ladder had forgotten to continue climbing up..
