Be A Virtuous Wife! So Tough!

Chapter 258



C258 – A Thousand Miles away

“Kill…” Deafening cries of war could be heard coming from the city gate into the capital of North Yue. The civilians closed their doors and windows and prayed to the gods and buddhas at all times. They hoped that the war would end soon.

“I heard that South Jin is full of barbarians who kill without batting an eye. Hurry up and beg the Bodhisattva to bless them and chase them out!” In a family’s house, the mistress put her palms together and murmured a few words of Amitabha.

Her youngest son refuted. “Mother, don’t listen to rumors. The people of South Jin are simple and honest, the officials are clean and honest, and there are people like the Crown Prince of South Jin who are both intelligent and brave, and there is also Crown Princess who is an immortal with both moral and talent. How can she be a barbarian?

Moreover, in recent years, the education in South Jin has been revitalized and the heavy farming has greatly increased the status of merchants. As long as one has the skills, one can get the attention of the Imperial Court. It has also broken the tradition of nobility being able to be an official. It is unknown how many times stronger he is compared to North Yue.”

“Is that really the case?”

It is not up to the child to decide whether or not this is the case. Why does the mother not wait for the war to end before looking at it with her eyes? ” If North Yue wins, what does it matter if what I said is true or false? “

Above the city, Wang Dingjun looked at the peaceful city and turned his head. “Your Highness, it seems that the mister is right. The civilians in the city did not join hands with the North Vietnam Army to fight back.”

“The civilians are nothing to worry about. The civilians in the North Yue are all ordinary people who are used to living a comfortable life. Even if the soldiers come to the city, they may not have the courage to fight back.” Even if it was not the case, if the common people really wanted to fight against the army, they would not be able to do it with just a brave heart.

“Does the student that mister mentioned really have that kind of courage?” It was not that Wang Dingjun looked down on scholars, but he felt that scholars only knew how to talk. If they were really allowed to hold a knife and a gun, Not as good as civilians.

“The courage of scholars lies in their souls. You only need to think about it based on the character of the Prime Minister and Xue Tingwei.”

“This…” Wang Dingjun was speechless. If there were thousands of scholars like Prime Minister and Vice Captain in North Yue City, how would they fight?

They couldn’t really kill all of these people. Wouldn’t South Jin be notorious for harming the common people?

“Report… the enemy only has twenty thousand men left. General Li suggested opening the city gate and going out to surround the enemy! ” Your Highness, please give the order! “

Crown Prince Zhao stood on the city wall and looked down at the red-eyed North Vietnam Army. His gaze fell on the commander in the middle of the enemy and guessed that he was the Second Prince of North Yue.

In fact, this Second Prince was not young anymore. He was close to the age of 40. His facial features were deep, and his eyes were bright. If it wasn’t for the fact that they were on opposing sides, Crown Prince Zhao would have admired this man quite a lot.

At this moment, they were mortal enemies who would not rest until they died!

“Wang Ziteng, do you think there is a need for this battle to continue?” Crown Prince Zhao asked from above.

“I will fight to the end even if I have to risk my last life.” Wang Ziteng angrily raised his weapon and pointed it at Crown Prince Zhao. “Your South Jin has taken over my land and taken over my people. Now you want me to submit to you? Dream on!”

“But don’t forget who started this war first. South Jin has never taken the initiative to cross the border. ” Didn’t you force all of this to happen? “

“Heh, who doesn’t have ambition? Who doesn’t want to rule the world? If your South Jin doesn’t have ambition, why would you secretly train such a cavalry?” Wang Ziteng looked at the unstoppable Black Armored Guard. His eyes turned cold. He would never be able to imagine the power of this army if he didn’t face them head-on.

Crown Prince Zhao crossed his hands behind his back and sneered, “If it wasn’t for the Black Armored Guard, how could the South Jin have come all the way to the lair of the North Yue?”

At this moment, Crown Prince Zhao was extremely glad that he had a virtuous wife like Tang Yue. Otherwise, it would take him at least ten years to train a terrifying army.

It could be said that Tang Yue’s existence had greatly shortened the time of unifying the world by more than ten years or even decades.

Crown Prince Zhao naturally had ambitions. However, he was not a warlike person. If he could coexist peacefully with North Yue, why would he want to unify the world?

“There’s no point in talking anymore. Let’s see what happens after the battle!” Wang Ziteng roared, “Kill the soldiers of North Yue! Think about the families behind them. Think about your families. Do you want to watch your families get slaughtered and your wives and sisters get humiliated?”

“Roar…” The morale of the North Vietnam Army was boosted. Crown Prince Zhao was too lazy to argue with them. He waved his hand and a row of crossbows appeared on the city wall. It did not look conspicuous, but it made the soldiers of South Jin tremble.

Everyone had heard that Crown Princess had transported a new batch of supplies. Their food had improved significantly over the past few days, but they did not expect such a pile of crossbows to appear. They looked no different from ordinary crossbows. It could be seen that all the soldiers who had seen its power knew that this thing was a treasure to defend the city.

If Chuzhou City was equipped with this, it would be difficult for the North Vietnam Army to break through.

“Release!” The flag bearer shouted and waved the flag in his hand. Hundreds of machine-operated crossbows shot out iron arrows at the front row of enemies.

The enemy was not someone to be trifled with. When they saw the rain of arrows, they quickly placed their shields in front of their chests. However, before they could do anything, the second wave of arrows had already arrived, and another wave of screams sounded out.

Normally, there would be a time gap between two teams of archers shooting arrows. However, the crossbows on the city walls fired continuously, not giving anyone any time to react.

After ten consecutive rounds of arrows, the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the city walls piled up again. The remaining soldiers protected the Second Prince at the center and took 50 steps back before stopping.

“Your Highness, South Jin’s bows are too powerful. What should we do?”

Wang Ziteng spat and said fiercely, “Let people shout together. There are more than a million civilians in the city. If we can stab them from the back, we can work together from the inside. Why should we worry about not winning?”

The capital was the capital of North Yue. Now, the defending side had become the army of South Jin, but they had families that they could not return to, and doors that they could not enter. What a joke!

“Villagers and elders in the city, are you going to watch your children and grandchildren die in front of your house without doing anything? ” Do you want a white-haired man to see a thief go and make the decision? ” Come out and see your family. They are being wantonly slaughtered, and their heroic souls are buried under the ground forever. Can you still feel at ease and hide in your home without doing anything?

Your cowardice, your cowardice will only make your loved ones and your enemies faster, and become accomplices to the slaughter of your compatriots. Do you wish for your descendants to die with everlasting regret, and to live the rest of their lives in pain and regret?

Come out and see how your loved ones are killed by a knife and an arrow. Their blood is still hot. They just want to see it before they die. This is your last meeting. This capital is already a bloodbath of the capital. Can’t you smell the blood of this city? … “”

Wang Dingjun took out a large crossbow and nocked an iron arrow as thick as an arm. He aimed it at the general who shouted and shot out an arrow.

But it was useless. If one died, another person would stand up and shout. Their voices were very penetrating, as if they wanted to wake up the souls of millions of people.

“Your Highness…” Wang Dingjun stared at the back of the city, afraid that the people in the city would come out from the back. At that time, would they kill or not? Even if they wanted to kill them, would they be able to kill them all?

If they really did such a thing, Crown Prince’s reputation in this life would be ruined.

Crown Prince Zhao said calmly, “Open the gate. Attack at full speed. End the battle quickly.”

The heavy gate slowly opened. Rows of orderly soldiers ran out. The sounds of killing could be heard without end. The great momentum caused the North Vietnam Army to retreat dozens of steps.

“Don’t retreat! Kill! Wang Ziteng was the first to charge out with his weapon in hand. With him leading the charge, the rest of the soldiers no longer retreated. They marched forward bravely and swore to fight to the death with the South Jin army.

In Jingdu City, only the civilians near the city gates could hear the excited shouts of the North Yue army. However, the people living in this area were all poor people. Many of them were refugees from other places. They had no home to return to and even had their wives and children separated. The arduous escape made their feelings less and colder than the ordinary people.

They were used to seeing life and death, so how could they sacrifice their lives for this cold imperial court?

Few civilians who were grateful to the Imperial Court of North Yue rushed out with wooden sticks in their hands. However, when they saw the fully armed South Jin Army, they were scared out of their wits. How could they dare to fight the enemy with wooden sticks in their hands?

Courage was a matter of courage. When there were more people, there would naturally be more. If there were less people, their courage would be broken and they would be left in a thousand miles.

Thus, the few civilians looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In the end, when no one came out to respond, they all returned home.

When the door closed, it would be difficult to open it again.
