NOVEL NEXT Chapter 249: Proud, Victory
After searching for a while, Fan Wanming saw the body of a Jin army vice general lying on the ground. Not far from the vice general's body, Ding Zhenshun was fighting with two remaining vice generals of the Ji Army.
Without wasting any more time, Fan Wanming rushed toward Ding Zhenshun to provide support.
Sensing his aura getting closer, Ding Zhenshun glanced to the side and saw Fan Wanming approaching. Letting out a sigh of relief, he calmly said, "General Fan, you are finally here."
Slashing horizontally toward the vice generals of the Ji Army, Fan Wanming's internal energy pushed them backward.
Boom!
Stopping beside Ding Zhenshun, Fan Wanming held his arm and supported him. Looking at Ding Zhenshun's body covered in injuries, he said, "I'm sorry for coming so late. General Sun was not easy to handle."
Ding Zhenshun wiped the blood off his cheek and chuckled. "It's fine."
Looking at his pale complexion, Fan Wanming asked with a hint of worry in his calm voice, "General Ding, are you alright?"
Ding Zhenshun waved his hand and replied, "I'm fine. These are only skin injuries."
Seeing that Ding Zhenshun was alright, Fan Wanming turned to look at the two vice generals and said, "General Sun was defeated by this general. If you two surrender now, we will let you live."
The two vice generals exchanged looks when they heard this. After a few seconds of silence, one of them said, "In your dreams!"
The moment his words fell, the two of them charged forward. Just as their battle began, Xue Ruhong arrived with his team.
"Break their formations! Charge!" Xue Ruhong ordered as he drew his bow and shot three of the Jin Army's soldiers dead.
"Charge!"
Following his lead, the Feng Army's elite soldiers rushed forward, and another battle began at the rear of the Jin Army's formation.
Hearing the sounds of battle coming from the rear, Fan Wanming and Ding Zhenshun exchanged looks.
In the next second, the two of them rushed toward the vice generals and unleashed their most powerful moves at the same time.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Pushed back by Fan Wanming and Ding Zhenshun, one of the vice generals gritted his teeth and shouted, "We can't win! Their weapons are way better than ours!"
Knowing that what his companion said was true, the other vice general made a quick decision and shouted, "Retreat!"
Hearing this, the other vice general followed him. "Retreat!"
When the soldiers of the Jin Army heard this, they turned around and ran as fast as they could.
Unfortunately, they had only run for a few hundred meters when they saw another battle raging in the rear area of their formation.
The moment the vice generals saw this, they knew they had fallen into Feng Xiyan's trap.
Realizing that there was no way out, one of the vice generals let go of his sword.
Clang!
Thud!
When the sound of his sword hitting the ground mixed with the clash of battle, the other vice general came to his senses. Turning to his companion, he saw him staring silently at the battle in front of him.
After a moment of silence, the vice general also let go of his sword.
Clang!
With his sword falling beside his feet, the vice general looked up at the night sky. Closing his eyes, he sighed and thought, 'To go against Heaven is easier said than done.'
When the soldiers of the Jin Army saw that the remaining two vice generals had surrendered, they paused in hesitation, looked at each other, and then let go of their weapons.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As the sounds of weapons falling to the ground echoed through the surroundings, more and more soldiers surrendered.
Seeing this, Xue Ruhong raised his sword and shouted, "Soldiers of the Jin Army! Surrender now, or die under our swords!"
When Xue Ruhong's words rang out across the field, the surroundings fell into silence.
A short moment later, all the soldiers of the Jin Army dropped their weapons one after another and fell to their knees.
Seeing this scene, the blood of the Feng Army's soldiers boiled. Raising their weapons, they shouted at the top of their lungs, "We won! It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!"
As their victorious shouts shook the ground, on top of the northern city wall, Feng Xiyan smiled proudly as he looked at the Feng Army below.
Raising his fist, Feng Xiyan took a deep breath and shouted, "It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!"
Hearing this, the archers and soldiers guarding the city wall raised their weapons and stomped the ground with their feet.
"It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!"
Accompanying their victory cries, the drummers beat the war drums and sounded the victory signal.
Du~ Dum! Duru~ Dum! Du~ Dum! Duru~ Dum!
As the sound of war drums echoed through the surroundings, the common people slowly opened their doors and walked out. Looking toward the northern city wall, their heartbeats quickened as they listened to the sound of victory drums.
After a long silence, the eyes of the common people slowly lit up with relief and pride.
"It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!" shouted a young man excitedly in the silent city.
His voice woke the others from their daze, and more and more common people joined him.
"It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!"
"It's our victory! Long live the Feng Army!"
Turning around, Feng Xiyan looked toward the city and saw the common people laughing and dancing in the streets in celebration of their victory.
With reddened eyes, he clenched his fists and thought, 'This is our first step to create a better world, and there will be countless steps in the future. I will do my best to pave the way for all of us.'
While the common people of Xiqiang City celebrated the Feng Army's victory over the one hundred thousand troops of the Jin Army, Xue Ruhong and Ding Zhenshun escorted the unconscious Sun Heng, the two vice generals, and the surrendered soldiers of the Jin Army back to Xiqiang City.
