Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Nangong Ye, You Are Doomed (2)_1

The soldiers laying siege to Qiu Qi were formidable members of the Dashun army.

Qiu Qi was already at a disadvantage. Without assistance, he wouldn’t have been able to hold out much longer. As his life was hanging by a thread, a bold and towering figure charged in, swinging his sword, instantly eliminating two enemies.

"Nangong Palace, from now on, your life will be mine as a gift for your gratitude," Qiu Qi confidently pledged to show his gratitude.

Ye didn’t look at Qiu Qi: "Stop talking, let’s get out of here once this fight is over?"

"Leave?" Qiu Qi was about to ask for clarification, but another wave of enemies came slashing at him, leaving him no choice but to dodge and counter-attack.

After finally eliminating those soldiers, Ye turned to the troops behind him and shouted: "Soldiers, heed my command! Today we must not linger in battle. Retreat!"

His voice carried a strong masculine energy, commanding the attention of those around him. Everyone heard him loud and clear, and they all began to prepare their retreat.

However, Qiu Qi was confused: "General Nangong Ye, why are we retreating now? We were enjoying the battle, dammit. I was just getting beaten up, I want to hit back this time!"

"Qiu Qi, do not linger in battle, there’s an ambush!" Ye shouted at Qiu Qi as he led some of the soldiers towards the city gate.

However, before they could make it to the city gate, an ear-splitting sound filled the air from within.

Gunpowder?

And it’s not just any gunpowder.

This gunpowder was incredibly powerful. When it exploded, it catapulted dozens of people into the air.

Thankfully, Ye was able to drop to the ground in time, otherwise, he would have been blown to pieces.

However, his head was left ringing from the explosion, as though he’d become deaf.

How did Dashun get such powerful explosives?

Moreover, the tactics of this particular battle were clearly a trap. The soldiers of Dashun were willing to sacrifice themselves just to take the soldiers of Dajin down with them!

Ye tried to move. His hand was functional, but his leg couldn’t budge. Intense pain seared through his lower leg.

He dared to glance back at his leg which was steadily bleeding, a gruesome sight to behold.

After the dust from the explosives settled, the heavy smell of gunpowder was mixed with the stench of blood in the air.

Surrounding Ye, there were a sizable number of bodies laid out, with severed limbs scattered around. The sight made him feel both pained and sickened.

After a long while, some of the survivors slowly began to rise. The soldiers who could still fight just stood there in stunned disbelief, looking at the corpses spread around the city. Some broke down into tears.

No doubt, the Dashun soldiers also didn’t know they were doomed to become sacrifices, regardless of whether they won or lost the fight.

The person who led these soldiers was undoubtedly cold-blooded and ruthless!

This tactic chilled the hearts of the Dashun soldiers to the bone. Consequently, no one was fighting any longer. Everyone was simply sitting in shock. Many who were immobilized had collapsed, seemingly losing their will to live.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Jianxi, who had lagged behind outside the city due to his hesitation, also heard the sounds of the explosion.

The deafening explosion seemed to reverberate across the heavens, as though the whole land was shaking.

Lu Jianxi was stunned.

The city walls collapsed in all directions. He couldn’t see the situation inside, but without having to guess, many soldiers must have been injured or killed.

It took Lu Jianxi some time to come out of his daze amidst the sounds of the explosion. His first thought when he came to his senses was of Nangong Ye.

Nangong Ye was among the first to charge in, could he have already...

He didn’t dare to think any further, only rushing towards the city.

Later, he saw Shangguan You and hurriedly called out to him: "Where is General Nangong?"

Shangguan You looked equally worried, "General Lu, he rushed in first, but he hasn’t come out since then, I don’t know about his condition now..."
