Chapter 298: Strategist Wu Death
298 Strategist Wu Death
Hearing the order from Soujin, Lou nodded and immediately rallied the soldiers to attack at one point. The scattered Soujin's soldiers were all gathered together and advance forward, ignoring the other soldiers that surround them.
From the wall, Ming Hui almost yelled at Soujin's decision, "What is he thinking? Does he want to abandon his soldiers?"
Showing their back to the enemy, why would Soujin let one of their sides empty?As Ming Hui was about to complain, Yan tugged his sleeves. Turning around, he saw Yan pointed at one direction. From their south, thousands of soldiers appeared with vigor.
"Who are they?" Ming Hui focused his attention to their banner. Written on the banner were two big words: Mountain Kingdom.
Yan smirked, "Their timing is really perfect."
Ming Hui nodded. Remembering Jun Hua, he wanted to know whether that girl was planning to join the battle personally or not. With her fighting ability, there was no way anyone could match her unless they were people like Soujin and the likes.
Seeing the Mountain Kingdom army launched their attack towards the Ming Kingdom, he smiled happily. It was the time to turn the tides around.
On her horse, Jun Hua watched the battle calmly. Due to her current identity, she couldn't join the battle personally. People eyes would surely pop out if they were to see her fighting on the battlefield. Knowing that she was a strategist was already shocking enough for them and Jun Hua didn't have any plan to make them more surprised.
"Break the surrounding soldiers," Jun Hua gave her order.
The soldiers marched towards the Ming Kingdom the moment Jun Hua's order was sounded. Jun Hua looked towards Soujin, it seemed the other party already knew when she appeared. His sense was really amazing and they could catch Strategist Wu off guard.
Having two armies attacking them, the soldiers of Ming Kingdom slowly moved back. They couldn't contend against these two and the formation Strategist Wu worked for hours quickly broke under the barrage of attack from the two of them.
"Young Master, Ming Kingdom is starting to move back," Lou reported excitedly.
Contrary to Lou, Soujin was more composed, "Continue to attack. The battle is not over yet."
Watching his master calm expression, Lou has the feeling that he already knew that the Mountain Kingdom was going to help them. The question was, how could he know about it? He didn't have any inkling that the Mountain Kingdom was going to help them despite they were having some grudge towards Ming Kingdom.
Ordering the soldiers to continue attacking, Soujin pushed the enemy back even further. He knew, the battle was their win as long as he could hold on until Mountain Kingdom army come. The battle they have planned before, it was this one.
What he didn't expect was their timing. With the distance being further than him, he thought that they would take more time, but it seemed that stalling a few days was more than enough. Looking towards Strategist Wu that was already getting closer to him, he smiled. The time has come.
Strategist Wu has his eyes on the Mountain Kingdom soldiers. The fighting prowess of the army has increased by a lot. It seemed the decision to let the Jun family escape there was a wrong one. With the two armies attacking him, he could already barely hold on the lines.
"This is my miscalculation," Strategist Wu held his head, feeling rather helpless. The battle was not going as he wanted and the enemy even got powerful reinforcement. However, as long as he could escape, he would be able to make a comeback.
Rei returned to his side, "The preparation is finished."
"Issued the retreat, I will take my revenge later on," Strategist Wu said as he walked back.
Before he could process what had happened, he felt pain on his chest. Instinctively, he moved and tried to attack the enemy. The sound of metal clashing reverberates to his ear. He stared at the perpetrator with disbelief.
"Rei, what are you doing?" he asked in trembled voice.
Rei smiled mockingly. "Didn't you already investigate about me before? Why are you still asking?"
"What are you talking about?" Strategist Wu didn't understand. From what he knew, Rei was just an assassin on some destroyed place. He took the other party in because of his battle prowess. It was then he realized that the past of Rei was something he never knew.
"In this world, I only have one master, which is Master Sei," Rei sheathed his sword back, "With that wound, you won't survive. I have fulfilled my duty here."
From the moment he accepted the job from Nanglong Sei, he knew that his fate was already sealed. There was no way out for him anymore, but at least he had fulfilled the task Nanglong Sei entrusted to him. As the other soldiers come to him, he accepted his end.
Strategist Wu pressed on his wound as he watched his other soldiers attacking Rei. All these years Rei always stayed by his side and never shown anything suspicious. Who would have thought that he was a spy from Nanglong family?
He looked towards the incoming soldiers from Soujin and ordered the retreat. He could no longer move and his vision started to blur. It seemed the battle was his lost, a terrible loss. For a person he trusted to be the enemy spy, what a disgrace.
