Chapter Index

    “Boom boom boom!”

    At five o’clock in the morning the next day, dark clouds hung low and were as thick as lead.

    The rain was getting heavier and the sound of the wind was so strong that it made people feel like they were out of breath.

    The darkness before dawn is not only extremely dark, but also indescribably chilling.

    At this time, on the front line of the defense zone with 100,000 enemy troops, General Xia was suddenly blasted by a burst of artillery fire.

    He hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and rushed into the headquarters, shouting to several of his subordinates:

    “Who asked you to fire? Who asked you to fire?”

    “Didn’t I say it yesterday? Don’t bombard Mingjiang indiscriminately until Tiemu Feihua and the others come back.”

    “That will not only disrupt my plan to kill the enemy, but also turn Mingjiang into a mess.”

    Counselor Xia was very angry: “When Mingjiang is in ruins and all foreigners have fled, who of you will be responsible for such losses?”

    Hearing Chief Xia’s scolding, several of his subordinates remained silent. After he finished venting his anger, they stood up and responded:

    “Report to Commander Xia, this cannon was not fired by us, nor by the Ironwood Army. It was fired from Mingjiang.”

    “I don’t know if they were crazy or if they broke the can and fired thousands of shells in one go.”

    “Several of our lurking camps were completely bombed by them!”

    “But their bombardment also exposed their artillery regiment’s position.”

    “We have ordered heavy weapons to be on standby.”

    “With Commander Xia’s order, we can strike back with thunder and destroy all Mingjiang’s artillery regiments.”

    Several adjutants held their heads high and marked Mingjiang City’s fire prevention map on the map.

    “So that’s it.”

    Chief Xia’s expression softened and she frowned slightly:

    “Are Liu Dongqi and Wang Qingwu out of their minds?”

    “Why else would they bombard us like this?”

    In his opinion, although Mingjiang’s artillery fire was enjoyable, it would also expose the position of the heavy artillery and consume ammunition.

    We should try our best to avoid this kind of action, which is loud and clear.

    After all, Mingjiang’s ammunition is running low now.

    An aquiline-nosed adjutant smiled and said: “Commander Xia, there is no need to be surprised. Ming Jiang is the turtle in the urn.”

    “If we want it, we can take it in two days at most.”

    “I never took action. I just wanted to capture Mingjiang at the minimum cost.”

    “We have this mentality, and Wang Qingwu and the others can also see through this.”

    “They knew they were vulnerable, so they smashed their tanks and fired several rounds of artillery fire.”

    He added: “Otherwise, once a war breaks out, they won’t even be able to fire artillery fire. Now they have fired at least several thousand.”

    “Ding!”

    Before Chief Xia could respond, a phone rang on the table, and the hook-nosed adjutant picked it up and answered it.

    Then he smiled at Chief Xia:

    “Information came from the front line. Mingjiang fired almost 4,000 rounds of artillery shells.”

    “These shells destroyed all the checkpoints we set up and knocked down 300 of our vanguard troops.”

    “But it was more likely that I lost my aim and hit the mountain peak to the east.”

    “And they’re still gathering artillery shells. It looks like they’re going to fire thousands more.”

    “It seems like the harvest is not small, but in fact it has little effect. It can even be said that he is wasting ammunition.”

    “Liu Dongqi and Wang Qingwu are always stupid. Thousands of artillery shells in our hands can kill at least 10,000 people and destroy five positions.”

    “With their current record, they are really in disgrace.”

    “Xia Shuai, what should we do?”

    The hook-nosed adjutant asked back, “Should we turn around and go back?”

    “What’s the counterattack?”

    Chief Xia glanced at the map:

    “Let it boom. When it is done booming, when it is tired, it will stop. Then it will be our turn to perform.”

    “Second order, except for the two divisions at the forefront, the rest of the troops should take time to rest.”

    “We will make next arrangements after receiving information from Tiemu Feihua and the others at dawn.”

    “If we fight back at this time, it will be easy for Wang Qingwu and others to get together, which is not conducive to Tiemu Feihua’s actions.”

    “We will do our best to defend and paralyze our opponents.”

    Chief Xia made a decision: “A mere few thousand people cannot make waves.”

    Chief Xia was not worried about Mingjiang’s shells hitting the headquarters.

    In addition to the most powerful air defense system they have, the headquarters is located in the lee of the valley.

    The artillery shell has to make several turns before it can lock on to the command post.

    So he wasn’t worried about his safety at all.

    Upon hearing Commander Xia’s instructions, several adjutants responded in unison: “Yes!”

    After Commander Xia finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the barracks to rest.

    This rainy weather was perfect for sleeping, and the anti-inflammatory medicine he took every day also made him sleepy.

    But this time, Chief Xia did not sleep soundly. The constant gunfire was always shaking his soul.

    He always felt like something was wrong.

    Near dawn, a call came in. Chief Xia picked it up and was about to get angry when a familiar voice came to his ears.

    Ye Fan smiled: “Chang Xia, are you okay?”

    Chief Xia’s face turned cold: “Ye A Niu? Are you still alive?”

    Ye Fan smiled: “Not only am I still alive, I am also alive and well.”

    “What are you calling for?”

    Chief Xia shouted: “Where did you find my communication channel?”

    Ye Fan’s voice was indescribably soft, talking like an old friend:

    “Of course the communication channel was given by Tiemu Feihua.”

    “I’m calling you for two reasons. One is to tell you that I have captured Tiemu Feihua and the others.”

    He added: “I also killed all the spies and killers you and Temujin planted in Mingjiang last night during the silk extraction operation.”

    Chief Xia’s face changed drastically: “You are so poisonous——”

    “I won’t be harsh. Now the nephew of the five great families is dead, and Gongsun Qian is dead.”

    Ye Fan smiled and said: “Besides, you were once the person in charge of Blackwater Tower, so you should have been accustomed to such cruel methods.”

    Chief Xia growled: “Ye Aniu, stop talking nonsense. Are you calling today just to show off?”

    “Let me tell you, Tiemu Feihua and the others are in trouble, and we have indeed suffered a lot of losses.”

    “But it doesn’t mean that we lost the battle at Mingjiang.”

    “On the contrary, after Tiemu Feihua and the others were captured by you, I gave up the idea of capturing Mingjiang without any bloodshed.”

    “I will immediately order a full-scale attack, and I will immediately bloodbath Mingjiang.”

    Chief Xia showed strength to the guy who cut off his arm.

    “Commander Xia, don’t worry, I haven’t said the second thing yet.”

    Ye Fan smiled lightly: “The second thing is that I will give you a way out for the sake of iron thorns.”

    “Commander Xia, please run out of the headquarters immediately and run as hard as you can to the north of the back mountain.”

    “Otherwise you will be dead along with the eight thousand people in the entire camp.”

    He sighed: “I tremble at Tie Mu Wuyue’s methods.”

    Xia Shenchang was shocked: “What do you mean?”

    Ye Fan said softly: “Run, run quickly…”

    With a bang, the phone was hung up. Commander Xia trembled and subconsciously rushed out of the camp.

    Almost as he raised his head to scan the sky, he suddenly heard a loud collapse sound from the east.

    Xia Shenchang raised his head reflexively and immediately picked up the high-definition telescope.

    It was okay not to look at it, but when he looked at it, he instantly stiffened.

    The mountain peak to the east suddenly collapsed with a bang, leaving a gap of more than ten meters.

    The gap instantly poured out a torrent of water and a dozen large iron balls two meters in diameter.

    “Boom boom boom!”

    In the sky that is not completely bright yet, in the deafening noise of wind, rain, and thunder.

    More than a dozen iron balls shot out towards the valley of Xia’s headquarters along with the raging torrent.

    Flash floods.

    Xia Shenchang trembled: “Ye A Niu bastard!”

    At this time, he remembered that there was a large reservoir on the east mountain peak, and then he remembered why the Mingjiang defenders’ artillery bombs hit the east mountain peak.

    Ye Aniu is going to flood the three armies.

    It’s so despicable and shameless to blow up the reservoir to attack when the artillery shells can’t hit it.

    “Boom boom boom!”

    The bright electric light that occasionally flashes across the sky can illuminate these torrents and the dangerous tension carried by the iron balls.

    They kept jumping and falling, but in the end they maintained their momentum.

    Some iron balls hit trees while flying at high speed. The trees shattered into pieces with a crisp sound, and then were submerged and disappeared by the torrent.

    Then the torrent swept across the broken trees.

    Wherever it passes, vegetation and trees are destroyed.

    The huge movement overwhelmed the thunder in the sky, making people’s hearts tremble uncontrollably.

    Raging floods mixed with broken branches and rocks rushed down from the mountain peaks, constantly rushing into the already turbulent river.

    The rumbling sound impacted everything, and at the same time shocked Shen Chang Xia’s eyes to the maximum extent.

    Many checkpoints and hidden sentries were instantly submerged.

    “Run, run, run!”

    Commander Xia roared hysterically: “Damn Tiemu Wuyue! Damn Tiemu Wuyue!”

    “Run quickly, run to higher ground!”

    After giving a warning to the stunned soldiers, he rushed towards the mountain to the north.

    The torrent rushing down from the east will collide with the headquarters and camp area in the west, and then turn and pour out from the south.

    The only way to survive is to the north.

    Chief Xia didn’t know why Ye Fan reminded him of the way out, but he couldn’t think of so much at the moment of life and death.

    He ran away.

    He also swore that after surviving, he would lead an army to liberate Mingjiang.

    “Whoosh whoosh!”

    Chief Xia unleashed all his strength and rushed north like a sharp arrow.

    He rushed to the top of the mountain with all his strength.

    Extremely fast.

    Not long after, Shen Chang Xia rushed to the top of the mountain, wet and exhausted.

    But before he could take a breath, Ye Fan flashed his figure, put a hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: “Chief Xia, come with me to the capital!”
