Chapter 414: Chapter 414. Mo City’s Crisis

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The imperial envoy sent by the imperial court arrogantly ordered Cheng Yu to open the city gates. Behind him were thousands of armored soldiers from the Wan Clan Army. They were here to take over the management rights of Mo City and Jingshi Dao.

Wan Shengchang had always felt that the remaining soldiers of the Xiao Family Army were a hidden danger. His imperial decree was to disband the Xiao Family Army and allow the new Wan Family Army to replace them.

Remove all the original Xiao Family Army generals and escort them back to the capital.

The imperial envoy had set off two days earlier than Wan Yulin’s army. He did not encounter Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng’s obstruction and arrived at Mo City ahead of them.

The imperial envoy looked at the tightly shut city gates and ordered his soldiers to knock on them with a gloomy expression. Cheng Yu put on his armor and held his weapon as he climbed the city wall. He could see clearly from above that the army below was all wearing armor and carrying shiny weapons. It did not look like an imperial envoy’s order but more like they were here to attack Mo City.

The imperial envoy saw that Cheng Yu refused to open the door, put on armor, and picked up a weapon. Was he going against the imperial court? He didn’t take Cheng Yu seriously at all.

The imperial court had not given Mo City any pay, rations, or weapons all these years. How capable could they be? Could they resist the Ironclad Army? It’s just a dying struggle.

The imperial envoy’s eyes were filled with disdain as he ordered Cheng Yu,

“Cheng Yu, open the city gates to receive the decree.”

“Ridiculous. Cheng Yu is a soldier of the Great Xia Kingdom and only respects the imperial edict of the Great Xia Kingdom’s Emperor.”

Cheng Yu snorted coldly and reprimanded loudly. The troops below the city raised the Great Zhou flag, so he could completely disobey orders.

Moreover, even if it were the real army of the Great Xia Kingdom, he would not obey them. He would only follow the Young Master.

“Cheng Yu, how dare you scold the current Emperor?”

The imperial envoy’s expression changed as he scolded Cheng Yu harshly.

“Everyone has the right to kill rebels.”

Cheng Yu sneered and ordered the Xiao Family Army loudly,

“Kill the attackers without mercy.”

The imperial envoy was furious. He waved at the troops behind him.

“Come on, break down the city gate and capture Cheng Yu alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an explosion. The team’s rear was in chaos, and smoke filled the air.

Another explosion followed. Su Qing used the remaining two bundles of detonators on them.

The explosion threw the troops into chaos. The well-trained warhorses were also shocked by the massive blast and raised their hooves to the sky, sending the soldiers riding their horses to the ground. The scene was in chaos.

The imperial envoy’s expression changed drastically. What was going on? Didn’t Mo City no longer have any killing weapons?

Cheng Yu could see from the city wall that the young lord and Su Qing were leading a group of people to fight against the Wan Family Army. Seeing that the young lord had returned, Cheng Yu’s confidence increased significantly. He immediately ordered his men to lower the suspension bridge and led the Xiao Family Army out to receive the young lord.

A horse galloped over from the direction of Ta City. Zhong Yong rode on a horse and quickly rushed to the city, fighting with Ji Shuisheng.

Zhong Yong’s immense strength smashed the heads of the Wan Family Army wherever the hammers passed. Ji Shuisheng, Su Qing, and Zhong Yong seemed possessed by the God of Death. The brave Wan Family Army could not stop them.

Cheng Yu led his men out of the city and joined the Young Master in killing the rebel soldiers.

This battle was very tragic. Guo Longjiang and his brothers had not received any training. They had suffered the most casualties because of their passion, but none retreated. They were willing to go through life and death with Ji Shuisheng.

Mo City only had less than two hundred generals, while the imperial court had sent over a thousand armored soldiers. There was still a great disparity in numbers. Fortunately, Su Qing had killed a batch of them first.

Ji Shuisheng was brave and invincible. He led the Mo City army to face death calmly. This battle was unusually intense.

Su Qing didn’t want the soldiers of Mo City to sacrifice themselves fearlessly. She started to use the power of the War God, and with a single move, one side fell. Her power was terrifying, shocking the Wan Family Army who were fighting. It also boosted the morale of the Xiao Family Army. Everyone roared and charged forward, holding the most advanced weapons that Su Qing had designed. The Wan Family Army couldn’t defend against her attacks and suffered heavy casualties.

“Enter the city.”

Su Qing feared too many casualties, so she ordered Cheng Yu to lead his troops back to the city to defend it. She and Ji Shuisheng also retreated into the city while fighting. She took back all the injured soldiers of the Xiao Family Army; not a single one was missing.

Su Qing and Ji Shuisheng covered the rear and let everyone else enter the city. The Wan Family Army wanted to charge into the city, but Su Qing used her war god ability to kill them. This time, she did not care about hurting her people and started killing them.

The Wan Family Army fell row by row. Cheng Yu feared that the Young Master and Su Qing would be in danger and brought his troops to help. This two-way pincer attack caused the Wan Family Army to collapse. The remaining forces did not dare to fight head-on and retreated a few miles to surround Mo City.

“Shuisheng, quickly go to Jingshi Dao.”

Su Qing was worried that Jingshi Dao would be in danger, so she asked Ji Shuisheng to take the commander’s seal to Yan Shikuan.

“Alright.”

Ji Shuisheng was still shocked by Su Qing’s combat ability. He knew that Mo City was impregnable with her around. He had to hurry to Jingshi Dao, afraid Yan Shikuan would also be attacked.

“Zhong Yong, you accompany Shuisheng.”

Su Qing was worried about Ji Shuisheng and sent Zhong Yong to protect him. Zhong Yong nodded and followed Ji Shuisheng to Mo City without saying anything.

Today was the day to burn paper for his mother, but Mo City was in trouble. He could only burn the paper and kowtow to his mother later. Protecting Mo City and his adopted brother was more important.

Su Qing ordered Cheng Yu to close the city gate. There was no need to make unnecessary sacrifices.

The Wan Family Army mainly consisted of soldiers from the south. They could not withstand the cold and snowy weather in the north. Moreover, they were in the wild, without shelter from the wind. They would be frozen into ice cubes. They would not take long to finish the dry rations they brought. Even if they wanted to hunt, their prey rarely came out when the snow closed the gates. As long as they were cold and hungry for a few days, they would be like toothless tigers that could be easily killed.

After Su Qing returned to the city, she first treated the injured soldiers. Guo Longjiang’s injuries were severe, and he spat out large mouthfuls of blood. He felt he was about to die, but he did not regret it. It was better for a hero to die in battle than to live cowardly.

Su Qing gave him a hemostatic pill and bandaged his wound, saving Guo Longjiang’s life.

Xiaoying, Li Shuang’er, Jiang Yuyan, and others ran over to help. It was not the first time the girls had encountered the injured. Even if it was a bloody scene, they could still calmly face it and carefully treat the wound.

The Wan Family Army outside the city was not so lucky. The detonator thrown by Su Qing killed the military doctor, and the medicine he brought was also blown away. The injured could only be bandaged without any medicine.

The weather was cold, and the water was frozen. Even though these southern soldiers wore cotton jackets, they could not withstand the whistling north wind. The wounded did not have any resistance at all, and many of them were frozen to death.

Su Qing didn’t stay idle for the next few days. Other than treating the wounded, she stayed in the blacksmith shop. No one knew what she was doing.

At night, the Wan Family Army, who surrounded the city, could not stand the cold and lit a bonfire to warm themselves up. However, as soon as the bonfire was lit, arrows shot at them as if they were live targets prepared for the enemy.

They were so scared that they could only extinguish the fire and continue to suffer from the cold. Three days later, Su Qing ordered Cheng Yu to open the city gates and lead the Xiao Family Army to surround the Wan Family Army..
