Chapter 287 Capturing the Commander
On the battlefield where the Northern Kingdom's 500,000-strong army attacked Sanliu County, the Northern Kingdom's army used explosives to force the Eastern Kingdom's army into a desperate situation. The two armies finally attacked head-on, and everything was in chaos for a while, with countless casualties.
However, the only ones who were under pressure were the city defense troops of Sanliu County and the Zhou family army. The Black Dragon Guards and Xuanqing had spiritual power and armor to protect them, and they were still chasing the four princes of the Northern Kingdom. No amount of muskets could stop them, and they were extremely brutal.
The four princes of the Northern Kingdom were terrified. They had never imagined that the Black Dragon Guards would be so powerful. The Northern Kingdom's advanced firearms were actually useless against them?!
Even the explosive packs only damaged their exposed clothes, not their external armor.
How could this happen? Are the Black Dragon Guards monsters?
The four princes of the Northern Kingdom retreated again and again under the support of the army. The old general had no choice but to issue another order.
"Everyone, turn around and bomb the city defense troops, bomb the Zhou family troops, and bomb the citizens of Sanliu County!"
The fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom panicked and slapped the old general in the face, "Do you want to kill me?" Wouldn't he die faster without the protection of troops?
"Go and blow it up!" The old general pulled the fourth prince to retreat, but did not change his mind.
And those Northern soldiers also obey the orders of the old generals, who can deal with the weak Eastern Army? Who would be willing to die in front of the Black Dragon Guards?
So the main force of the Northern Kingdom's guards changed direction and used explosives and muskets to deal with the city defense troops and even the vulnerable citizens.
"Damn it! Guards!" Jin Xing also changed his orders. They, the Black Dragon Guards, could not leave the citizens of the city alone. As for Xuan Qing, he had gone crazy with killing, so at most two people could be left as guards.
But once the battle line was extended, the Black Dragon Guards' strength was dispersed. They could not take care of everyone at all, and the Northern Army gained the upper hand again.
Just when everyone was ready to risk their lives to drag the Northern Army down with them, there was a sudden explosion behind the Northern Army, and a huge black mushroom cloud emerged, shaking the earth.
Everyone on the battlefield staggered, their ears buzzing, and then they were all stunned. What was going on?
Everyone looked towards the explosion site. When the smoke cleared, they saw a huge crater. Thousands of Northern Army soldiers had been reduced to shattered corpses.
The fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom fell to the ground with a thud. He felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained. His whole body was cold and his face was pale.
The explosive packs from their northern country are only good enough to make a small hole. Even if more explosives are added, they can only kill dozens or hundreds of people at most.
So this kind of explosive pack that can kill thousands of people is clearly not from their northern country!
Sure enough, when a familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared above the battlefield, the old general's pupils shrank sharply, "Jiang Changle?!"
Is that the fourth princess of the Eastern Kingdom’s God of War?
The subsequent reaction of the Black Dragon Guard confirmed the old general's guess.
"Changle~" Xuan Qing looked at the person who haunted his dreams with infatuation.
"Princess!" The Black Dragon Guards cheered excitedly.
"Hahaha! The Fourth Princess is here with the Black Dragon Guard army. Come on, everyone, let's kill those bastards from the Northern Kingdom together!" Jin Xing's loud voice spread throughout the battlefield with the transmission of spiritual power.
Now, everyone knew that the huge crater was blown out by the Fourth Princess of the East Kingdom.
For a moment, the Eastern Army was overjoyed.
The Northern Army trembled in fear. Tens of thousands of orcs were killed in an instant. Could humans resist such a terrifying weapon?
Just as everyone was stunned, Jiang Changle, who came from the air, had already dropped the second bomb.
Unlike the bulky explosive packs in the North, what Jiang Changle casually threw down was just a fist-sized grenade. It had no fuse at all, and it exploded as soon as the lid was pulled.
The Northern Army fled in all directions in a panic at a very fast speed, but a huge deep pit still appeared where the grenade exploded. The residual power also affected an area of nearly a thousand meters in radius, and hundreds of people were blown beyond recognition.
Of course, Jiang Changle did not come alone. He also came with Shui Xing and the Black Dragon Guards. They were carrying guns and firing bullets at the Northern Army on the ground.
It was a continuous-firing machine gun with cutting-edge bullets, and its power and accuracy were incomparable to the northern country's muskets.
Of course, it is impossible that there are only Black Dragon Guards flying in the air. At this moment, the Northern Army on the edge blew the horn. It was the sound of the horn that discovered the enemy.
The hurried voice told all the Northern Army that the number of troops approaching the battlefield was very large.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" The old general carried the frightened fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom and ran away.
He had fought in wars all his life and was accustomed to seeing life and death. In fact, he was most reluctant to invade other countries. After all, he would get pecked when hunting geese all year round.
However, the new weapons of the Northern Kingdom were more advanced than those of other countries. Both the king and the prince felt superior and were unwilling to give up the opportunity to invade. They at least wanted to rob property and females.
The old generals were unable to persuade them and could only try to guide the four princes of the Northern Kingdom to attack the capital of the Eastern Kingdom instead of the southern town where the four princesses of the Eastern Kingdom were.
Even if those places had new items made by the Jiang family workshops, such as shoes, clothes, and even fertility drugs, Beiguo would buy them secretly instead of directly plundering them.
Because Jiang Changle and the Black Dragon Guards are there.
Those old guys in Dongguo Kyoto had never fought Jiang Changle head-on, so did they really think her title of God of War was just for nothing? Actually, it was all earned through killing people.
Sure enough, when the Northern Army was about to reach Kyoto, the Queen of the Eastern Kingdom released the Fourth Princess again.
And this time, Jiang Changle brought weapons that are more advanced than those of the Northern Kingdom. How terrifying!
Can you still leave Sanliu County today?
In fact, the old generals had long ago advised the Fourth Prince to quit while he was ahead and quickly rob and run away before Jiang Changguang appeared.
It can only be said that the upper class of the Northern Kingdom was too confident and too greedy about the new weapons, and finally hit a wall.
If they die here today, it really won't be unfair to them.
After seeing the Northern Army retreat, Jiang Changle did not chase them, but instead aimed at the position of the enemy commander.
"Over there, the old general from the Northern Kingdom." Shui Xing beside him pointed to the location where the fourth prince and the old general were.
Shui Xing had dealt with the Northern Army many times, so he naturally recognized the old generals. The person who was protected by the generals must have an even more complicated identity.
Jiang Changle nodded and said, "Go, capture the coach."
Living people are more useful, and too many dead people will also cause a burden on the three or six counties, such as plague.
It is a hot summer now. If the corpse is not handled in time, it will easily rot, become infected and develop diseases.
Furthermore, many orcs in Sanliu County were injured and needed a lot of manpower to treat them, and more innocent lives could be saved.
Therefore, at this stage, Jiang Changle’s primary goal is to capture the enemy’s main general and drive away the Northern Army.
"Yes, sir!" The Black Dragon Guards all rushed out, and a team of people descended from the sky with iron nets and shone them towards the Fourth Prince and his men.
