Chapter 376: Chapter 376 Go to Hell
"Are you all deaf? Go and rescue them now!"
Dongli Honglang began to scold the surrounding soldiers.
Facing his penetrating gaze, the soldiers could only steel themselves and move forward.
The martial arts of Beihai Country’s eldest prince were so formidable that even within the Formation, he was in grave danger.
For these men to go was to court death.
But at the Crown Prince’s command, if they disobeyed, it was also a path to death.
More and more people rushed over, and soon bodies piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers.
For ordinary people witnessing this scene, it was enough to make their scalp tingle and stomach churn.
Seeing that this method was indeed effective, Dongli Honglang shouted excitedly, "You, you, and you, hurry over there."
The ones he pointed at could only go to their deaths, swallowing their fear.
In Dongli Honglang’s eyes, there was no hint of compassion; it was as if the lives of his subordinates were as insignificant as ants.
As the bodies accumulated, the Formation also began to be affected.
Zhu Yinian had no choice but to order, "Everyone, retreat for now."
"Thinking of fleeing now? But the Crown Prince here might not agree."
Dongli Honglang picked up his weapon and led his troops to attack Zhu Yinian.
"General Zhu, don’t worry, I am here to lend you a hand," said Yan Lian as he descended from the city walls, the formidable Tongzhou army bursting out of the gates behind him.
Yan Lian himself leaped down from the city tower.
"Dongli Honglang, you almost died in our last battle. Do you still have the nerve to come here?" scoffed Yan Lian.
"That was merely due to this Crown Prince’s underestimation and the insufficient number of men I brought. This time, you will have no chance for a fluke," said Dongli Honglang. As his words fell, he fiercely swung his blade at Yan Lian.
Yan Lian reacted quickly to the attack.
Both sides fully engaged in combat, turning the scene into utter chaos, screams blending into the tumult.
War is always cruel.
But with the thought of their homeland behind them, the place where their loved ones resided and the people they swore to protect, the Tongzhou army fought with redoubled fury.
If things continued this way, Dongli Honglang’s men were destined to lose.
It was at this moment, however, that the tide began to turn.
Many Tongzhou soldiers started to feel dizzy and weak; their fingers grew limp. Far from being able to wield swords to strike down the enemy, they barely had the strength to stand.
They collapsed one by one onto the ground, like sheep awaiting slaughter.
"General, something’s wrong!"
The Deputy General anxiously alerted Zhu Yinian.
Turning to look, Zhu Yinian saw that half of their men had already fallen, and the other half seemed on the verge of collapsing.
What was going on?
It was at that moment his own limbs began to numb.
With a "thud," the long spear slipped from his grasp.
He reached out to catch it, but found his hand unresponsive.
Seizing this opportunity, Dongli Honglang brought his blade down.
In that critical moment, Yan Lian’s intervention was timely.
He pulled Zhu Yinian behind him.
The horse that Zhu Yinian had been riding was struck by Dongli Honglang’s blade and killed instantly.
Blood spattered high, painting many eyes red.
Yan Lian’s heart sank heavily.
If it weren’t for his swift action, Zhu Yinian would now be a corpse.
"Yinian, how are you?"
He grabbed Zhu Yinian’s shoulder, asking in great urgency.
"We... It seems we’ve been drugged."
Zhu Yinian gritted his teeth, struggling to speak.
"But why am I unharmed?"
Yan Lian looked around and realized that among their group, only he was fine.
"Could it be, the medicines that the Eighth Sister-in-law feeds me every day have made me invulnerable to all poisons?"
Yan Lian muttered to himself.
Ever since his arrival in Nanduan Kingdom, the Eighth Sister-in-law had been regularly giving him medicine, claiming it was good for him.
Back then, he didn’t understand the painstaking care behind her actions, but he knew she meant him no harm, so he obediently took the medicine.
Little did he expect that today it would reveal its usefulness.
But what use is it if he is the only one unharmed?
Seeing that the area behind him was almost completely empty, Yan Lian’s scalp tingled with numbness.
He had no choice but to signal to the soldiers hidden within the city to come out and rescue them as soon as possible.
Those hidden in the city still had a glimmer of hope for survival.
If they were outside, they would truly become lambs to the slaughter.
However, his subtle gesture was noticed by Dongli Honglang.
Dongli Honglang laughed contemptuously, "Ninth Prince, do you think there are still capable people left in the city now?"
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhu Yinian angrily demanded.
Dongli Honglang raised his hand, signaling his men to cease their attack.
He, more than anyone, loved to watch his prey struggle in their dying throes.
Since Zhu Yinian and Yan Lian were doomed to die anyway, why not enjoy their desperate struggles?
"This Crown Prince has said it before, you are no match for me. Soon, the whole of Tongzhou will be in the palm of our hands," Dongli Honglang said arrogantly.
"So you’ve been plotting from the start, poisoning our city. That no one discovered it for so many days... I must say, the one concocting the poison is exceedingly skilled," Zhu Yinian said sarcastically.
"That’s because you’re fools to let my plans proceed so smoothly," Dongli Honglang’s tone grew even more smug.
Zhu Yinian felt as if a wave of suffocating frustration had lodged in his chest.
He coughed repeatedly until he coughed up blood, and only then did his complexion improve slightly.
He slowly raised his head and looked coldly at Dongli Honglang, then said, "The person must be someone close to this General, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so convenient for her."
Without waiting for Dongli Honglang to respond, Zhu Yinian continued, "Xie Feifei is your person, isn’t she? She’s the one who poisoned us, conspiring with you from the inside out."
What?
Miss Xie was a traitor?
One by one, the soldiers lying on the ground felt dizzy at the thought.
They couldn’t bring themselves to believe that Xie Feifei, who was usually saving the wounded and feeble, and gentle and frail, could be a traitor.
"It seems you aren’t completely foolish if you could guess that much,"
Dongli Honglang sneered.
The look of triumph on his face was immensely evident.
After all, placing Xie Feifei in Tongzhou was what he considered his most perfect move.
"Enough, don’t waste so much time talking to them, kill them all, and Tongzhou will be ours," Wu Ge said impatiently.
His remark also dampened Dongli Honglang’s desire to further humiliate Zhu Yinian and Yan Lian.
He scorned, "It’s a pity Chu Baihan is not in Tongzhou. Otherwise, you could all witness how the so-called number one female General of Nanduan Kingdom is nothing but our defeated foe."
"Zhu Yinian, you do have some skill, but how unfortunate that you were born in Nanduan Kingdom. When you go to hell, make sure you reincarnate more wisely," he added.
With that, he raised his great sword again to attack Zhu Yinian.
"If you want to send him to hell, first ask if I, the Prince, agree."
Yan Lian’s body was seething with an aggressive aura.
He wielded his long spear and stood beside Zhu Yinian, and for a moment, Dongli Honglang couldn’t get close.
