Chapter 592: Chapter 592 Finally Ended(1)_1

After both sides had prepared, the trumpet of the charge finally resounded. Below the city tower, a heavy drumbeat emerged within moments. The civilians under the city walls felt anxious upon hearing it, yet they were helpless. All they could tell from the drumbeats was that the enemy was attacking the city once again, but they could not see the specifics of the battlefield.

Even if they could not see it, they could still feel the significance of today’s battle. The soldiers of the Northern land were all trapped in the city, with the enemy guarding the city gates, in a situation where it seemed impossible for even a thousand men to break through one man’s defense.

The soldiers of the Northern land did not rely on individual strength, it was through cooperation and formation that they would find victory.

Since the entire army could not march out, the battle became quite stifled as a result.

All the civilians were apprehensive, each secretly praying that King Ling and General Luo could quickly defeat the enemy.

Stepping on the small mountain of accumulated corpses, the soldiers of the North Country climbed upwards as if they were mad.

At that moment, several buckets of oil were suddenly poured from the city tower, and then torches were thrown down.

A raging fire instantly shot up into the sky, and the soldiers who had already climbed halfway were caught in the blaze.

"Ahh."

"Save me."

...The screams rose and fell, and the foul smell emitted from the burning bodies was nauseating.

The soldiers of the Northern land on the city walls looked down, each of their faces revealing an unbearable expression. Below, the fire was raging, it was simply a hell on earth.

"Sound the retreat now." Bayal no longer sat, directly issuing the order, this time without even asking for an opinion from Billy.

Billy’s face was also solemn, he never expected that after pouring so much oil, Chu Suifeng would still have more.

A rash judgment resulted in his own side’s soldiers being heavily injured, his face lost all its colour.

Upon hearing the retreat, all the soldiers began to pull back.

"Retreat." Bayal decisively issued the order again.

Billy opened his mouth, but looking again at the tragic situation under the city wall, he finally didn’t say anything.

Large groups of soldiers began to retreat in panic, like a receding tide.

"Argh."

"Protect the General and the State Preceptor."

Just then, giant rocks started raining down from the walls of the Northern land, striking the retreating soldiers of the North Country once again.

Next was a dense rain of arrows, and another batch of men fell down.

"Quicken your pace." Billy, losing his temper, issued the order.

A well-trained team was a bit disorganized at this moment, as everyone was scrambling to retreat and save themselves.

The neighing of the horses, the screams of the soldiers, and the shouting of the generals created a mix of sounds. At that moment, the heavy gates of the North City suddenly opened, and a team of horsemen instantly charged out.

Leading the charge was a demon-like youth, he rode a white horse, leading the charge, and a group of Black Armored Soldiers followed him. These people were all holding bows and arrows with large blades and long swords on their backs.

"Black Armored Soldiers."

"It’s Si Jinhan."

Upon recognizing who had come out from the North Land, many people got somewhat panicky.

"Immediately halt the retreat." Billy preempted the order. "Take advantage of their low numbers, strike back immediately. With them there, Chu Suifeng won’t dare to use the catapult randomly."

Bayal hadn’t expected Si Jinhan to charge out of the city gate at this moment, despite their fewer numbers. Yet, whether it was Si Jinhan or the Black Armored Soldiers, they were all considered sharp weapons in Chu Suifeng’s hands.

Bayal did not dare to take Si Jinhan and those Black Armored Soldiers lightly.

"Send a command, line up to attack." Seeing the Black Armored Soldiers appear again, Luo Heng also led a team of soldiers and charged out. Bayal knew then that what followed must be a fierce battle.
