Free Web NovelChapter 160: Capture Wanchun in One Night!
Long Chen rode atop the Ice Dragon King, shining brightly like the lead wolf in a pack!
However, Long Chen deliberately covered the Ice Dragon King’s body with a beast skin to prevent its luminous golden and blue crystals from shimmering in the dark night.
Ah, it seems there are downsides to having such a flashy mount.
Extra caution is needed during surprise attacks.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two dark figures, graceful in their movements, arrived in front of Long Chen.
Kneeling on one knee, they respectfully said:
"Reporting to the lord! Up ahead is Wan County of Lujiang Prefecture!"
"After our Jin Yi Wei’s investigation, it has been discovered that due to Lu Kang’s deployment, most of the garrisons in the county have been moved to the north of Lujiang Prefecture, leaving Wan County’s defenses extremely vulnerable."
"There are only about two thousand garrison troops!"
Long Chen’s face lit up with joy!
Immediately he ordered, "Zi Long! Pass on my orders, all troops advance at full speed, target—Wan County!"
"Yes!"
Zhao Yun couldn’t help but admire how the lord foresaw everything.
Wan County was indeed as predicted by the lord, vulnerable in its defense.
Under Long Chen’s command, the five thousand Tiger Elite troops, riding their Northern Good Horses, accelerated their march.
Swift as the wind!
Huffing and puffing!
The grassland was churned up by the pounding hooves.
Long Chen rode at the forefront on the Ice Dragon King, holding a fierce horn spear in his right hand, his face stern as he stared at the towering city ahead.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood on either side of him.
Xu Chu wielded a black-golden great axe in both hands, his face fierce, glaring fiercely at the city gate ahead.
Dian Wei was the same, with a ferocious red birthmark above his eyes, making him look extremely vicious!
His left hand rested on the small halberd at his waist.
He was ready to shoot down the garrison troops with his hidden weapons after rushing into the city.
Zhao Yun stood solemnly at the forefront of the Tiger Elite troops, his snowy white mane shining brightly in the dark night.
Like a star shining brightly in the endless night sky.
On the walls of Wan County, the drowsy garrison suddenly felt something was amiss.
Garrison A: "Hey, buddy! Why does the sky seem a bit wobbly today?"
Garrison B: "Now that you mention it... it does feel a bit dizzy. I didn’t drink today either..."
After hearing their conversation, Garrison C, squinting his eyes, suddenly widened them.
Below the city, there were thousands of troops and horses rushing forward like a flood!
Unstoppable!!!
"Oh my god!!"
"It’s not that the sky is falling! Or that you’re drunk! It’s an enemy attack!!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Sound the alarm!!!"
However, it was already too late.
In just half a moment, the Tiger Elite troops, with their powerful and swift Northern Good Horses, had quickly closed the distance with the gates of Wan County.
Fifty paces!!!
Long Chen narrowed his eyes, then suddenly lifted the dark-colored beast skin draped over the Ice Dragon King’s body.
Shouting loudly, "Ice Dragon King! Charge into the city with me!"
In response to Long Chen’s command, a loud roar echoed from the Ice Dragon King.
"Roar roar roar——"
The Ice Dragon King stomped fiercely, its massive body suddenly soaring into the air, forming a perfect arc.
The bone wings on either side of its body flapped slightly!
Utilizing the night wind, the Ice Dragon King glided gracefully through the air for a distance before landing on the city wall.
"Thunderous Thunder Spear!!!"
The horn spear in his hand gathered the power of thunder and was instantly launched.
Long Chen quickly drew his Qinggang Sword from his waist.
A fierce and mighty golden dragon burst forth from the Qinggang Sword, with astonishing momentum, knocking down soldiers along the way.
Blood splattered.
The Ice Dragon King spat out ice blades and hailstones with tremendous force.
And a chill rose from the ground.
For these garrison troops, the cold was bone-chilling!
Long Chen slaughtered fiercely above the city.
The Tiger Elite troops were equally fierce.
Under the shouts of Xu Chu and Dian Wei, terrifying waves of energy shot out from their blades and halberds.
The durability of the Wan County gate plummeted sharply!
Coupled with the five thousand Tiger Elite troops behind them throwing their spears, and Zhao Yun’s Nine Heaven Dragon Roar.
It wouldn’t be long before...
The durability of the city gate was reduced to 1 point.
Finally, it collapsed!
Zhao Yun led the five thousand Tiger Elite troops to massacre the soldiers who rushed forward.
Under the chilling blades of the Royal Guards, these ordinary soldiers stood no chance against them.
Moreover, with Zhao Yun’s bravery, the enemy commanders were directly killed by a single strike of his Dragon Roar Nine Heavens.
The morale of the defending troops plummeted.
Long Chen saw an opportunity and shouted:
"Drop your weapons! Surrenderers will not be killed!!"
For these Wan County defenders, these words were like manna from heaven. They immediately dropped their weapons and ceased resisting.
They were sleeping soundly in their dreams when suddenly Long Chen and his group stormed in and caused chaos.
At this moment, they were completely bewildered and had no energy to resist Long Chen’s fierce group!
Long Chen immediately organized his troops to control these surrendered soldiers.
Meanwhile, riding on the Ice Dragon King, he rushed to the county government office of Wan County and accepted the surrender of the county magistrate on the spot. freёweɓnovel.com
As for why he chose to accept surrender instead of executing them on the spot, Long Chen had his reasons.
If he killed the county magistrate on the spot, then in the future, when attacking other counties in Lujiang Prefecture, they would inevitably face fierce resistance.
Why?
Because it was already known that Long Chen didn’t accept surrenders, so they would fight to the death on both sides.
It was better to fight and have a chance to survive than to face certain death!
But now that Long Chen accepted surrender, it meant that if they couldn’t win in the future, they could surrender.
This would inevitably reduce their resistance.
After all, Long Chen’s bravery was renowned throughout Jiangdong, and who would dare to directly oppose him!
After accepting the surrender of the Wan County magistrate, Long Chen thought of two extremely important figures in Wan County.
They were the two Qiaos of Jiangdong, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
But at this critical moment, Long Chen naturally wouldn’t delay the opportunity for the sake of beauty.
Now, while the other counties in Lujiang Prefecture hadn’t received news of his sudden attack yet, he should continue to attack.
It was time for a lightning-fast battle to continue expanding his achievements!
So,
Long Chen immediately ordered without hesitation:
"Spread the word, leave five hundred Tiger Elite troops here to guard this place, mainly to watch over those surrendered soldiers and collect their weapons!"
"At the same time, post notices in Wan County, announcing the pacification, to avoid alarming the local people and inciting unrest!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately saluted and took command.
Long Chen then continued, "In addition to those five hundred Tiger Elite troops, the rest of the troops will continue to follow me on the march!!"
"Yes!!" Xu Chu saluted and took command, ready to organize the troops for the next deployment!
"Hahaha! Following the lord all the way, it’s always so satisfying to kill!!" Dian Wei wiped the blood off his shoulder and grinned ferociously.
Long Chen gave him a glance, indeed he was the ancient evildoer!
This murderous aura, no wonder he could practice the Gluttonous technique, one of the Four Evils!
In no time at all, the well-trained Tiger Elite troops had already gathered outside Wan County!
Long Chen first scanned the hall where the top officials of Wan County gathered.
Before him were the military and civilian officials of Wan County, equivalent to the brains of Wan County.
