Chapter 147: Zhan Tianyue (3)
Being sent by the Goryeo Emperor to Tianyue City, the closest city to the battlefield, Jin Zhengyang was not the fool Ye Huan thought he was, nor was he a mediocre talent. On the contrary, despite his short stature, he was quite quick-witted. After the initial shock of seeing one hundred and fifty Hummers, he suddenly recalled a person—a figure who had recently been making waves in the Nine Provinces Continent.
It was said that this person had three heads and six arms, with a face resembling a demon. He led a hundred riders into the midst of a million troops from the Southern Xiongnu Empire and subsequently killed over ten thousand Southern Xiongnu soldiers with a single strike.
When Jin Zhengyang first heard this news a month ago, he could hardly believe that anyone in this world could be so terrifying. However, upon seeing the people inside the armored vehicle below, he somehow connected them to that figure, constantly speculating about their relationship and even leaning closer to the vehicle to observe more carefully.
Yet before Jin Zhengyang could take a good look, the first military Hummer crossed the bridge over the moat. A man stepped out first, dressed in dark green Special Operations Gear, white gloves, and heavy boots. He wore black sunglasses that complemented his tall stature and muscular build. As a prince, Jin Zhengyang felt an indescribable envy towards him; this man could only be Ye Huan.
Staring intently at the towering twenty-five-meter city wall, Ye Huan felt a headache coming on. He was troubled about how to assess the training results of his Dragon Hall members while ensuring their safety. After all, Ye Huan currently had just over three hundred Dragon Hall members under his command—he simply couldn't afford any losses. But if he took matters into his own hands, what would be the point of training these disciples? The goal was for them to protect Huaxia even in Ye Huan's absence.
Seemingly reading Ye Huan's thoughts, Zuo Yi lounged in the back seat of the military Hummer with his head hanging out of the window. Whether he was talking to himself or imparting wisdom to Ye Huan, he remarked, "These days, good soldiers crawl out from piles of corpses!"
The words jolted Ye Huan awake. Understanding Zuo Yi's message clearly, he made a gesture that only Dragon Hall members would likely comprehend—bending his index and middle fingers slightly and pointing towards the city wall.
Having trained under Ye Huan for a month, the Dragon Hall members were well aware of what this gesture meant; it was clearly an order to attack!
In an instant, all three hundred Dragon Hall members flung open the doors of the military Hummer and rushed to its rear compartment. They yanked it open to reveal siege weapons far more powerful than crossbows—the RPG Rocket Launchers!
Three hundred people, three hundred RPG Rocket Launchers. After Ye Huan made the initial gesture, all three hundred rocket launchers aimed at the city gate of Tianyue City!
At the same moment, the triggers were pulled, and three hundred rockets roared away from their launchers, trailing thick smoke in the air, intertwining into a white canvas that captivated onlookers like a beauty emerging from a bath. At least Jin Zhengyang, the prince, stared wide-eyed at this scene, his mind filled with countless questions.
In the next second, the three hundred rockets struck the city gate, which was thicker than that of Huaxia Imperial Capital, creating a massive hole. Even above the gate, debris fell in abundance, stirring up clouds of dust. The walls of Tianyue City trembled slightly, causing many Koryo Soldiers to mistakenly believe an earthquake had occurred, sending them scrambling for cover beneath the walls and throwing the morale into chaos.
"Don't panic! For God's sake, don't panic! Anyone who runs will be treated as a deserter!"
Witnessing numerous Koryo Soldiers fleeing directly before his eyes, Jin Zhengyang, as a Goryeo Prince, had no time to react and erupted in anger, even invoking military orders.
In Goryeo, there was only one military order regarding deserters: execution on the spot. Therefore, when Jin Zhengyang uttered those words, those who were almost at the city wall's ladder stopped in their tracks. After exchanging glances with one another, they ultimately returned to their posts and picked up their bows and arrows.
Knowing that morale could be stabilized for now, Jin Zhengyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to find someone to lead a team to block the city gate, he clearly saw that one hundred and fifty Military Hummers parked a hundred meters away had all set up long and menacing weapons over one meter in length. The front holes alone were about one centimeter in diameter. Although not as exaggerated as the previous RPGs, Jin Zhengyang felt that these devices were definitely not mere decorations.
Sure enough, as Ye Huan pointed again with his finger, a unified and thunderous gunfire erupted. On the northern wall of Tianyue City, vibrant blood flowers blossomed instantly, staining the ground—still covered with a layer of snow—a vivid red that was particularly eye-catching. Even Jin Zhengyang instinctively lowered his head; otherwise, he might have lost it entirely. The Barrett was a super sniper rifle capable of blowing off even a Ninth-Level Practitioner's head without breaking a sweat...
As the gunfire ceased, realizing they could not continue to be slaughtered like this, Jin Zhengyang hurriedly instructed his accompanying generals: "Quick! Bring up the Siege Crossbows! I want these guys to see that we Goryeo are not to be trifled with!"
The Siege Crossbow was a large siege weapon typically equipped with a crossbow bed over one meter wide. The bolts it fired were nearly one and a half meters long—comparable to the length of the entire Barrett rifle—and with the launching power of the crossbow bed, it could easily penetrate through two people.
In regular siege warfare, whenever the Siege Crossbow appeared, it meant that the attacking side would suffer significant casualties. This illustrates just how terrifying such crossbow beds could be.
Upon receiving Jin Zhengyang's orders, his generals wasted no time and rushed toward the wall closest to the city. They quickly pushed several Siege Crossbows into position and aimed them at the military Hummers below.
With his enhanced vision as a Cultivator, Ye Huan clearly observed the movements on the city wall. He understood that the Siege Crossbow was not something that could be resisted by human strength. He waved his hand behind him, signaling everyone to get into the vehicle.
Like a single entity, upon seeing Ye Huan's gesture, the three hundred members of Dragon Hall quickly scrambled into the Hummer, shutting the doors tightly. They even made sure to squeeze into the back seats. Then, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, striking heavily against the Military Hummer, causing the already heavy vehicle to sway slightly. This marked the beginning of the battle surrounding Tianyue City.
"Tianyue City, this belongs to our Huaxia..."
Sitting in the driver's seat and watching as bolts from the Crossbows continuously slammed against the windshield in front of him, Ye Huan said this.
