Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1139: Da Yi City

They had proper rest while Nan Hua herself also stayed in Nan Luo’s tent. If others were to ask why she picked his tent, her answer would be that his tent is the biggest.     

And Nan Luo didn’t really care about it.     

He always prepared additional bedding in case Nan Hua came and wanted to rest in his tent.     

They were twin siblings.     

So it was not that strange.     

Though, Nan Luo knew that even siblings shouldn’t be this close with each other. He simply turned blind eye to that problem.     

They continued their march the next day and Long Qian Xing was surprised when he saw the few catapult that Nan Luo brought with him. He naturally knew the uses of these things, but he didn’t think of bringing them before.     

Why?     

It was because the use of these things were not suitable for most of the soldiers in Fei Yang Kingdom.     

‘But Nan Luo’s army is a bit lacking in terms of number and not exactly ideal for City battle.’ Long Qian Xing thought to himself.     

And it was indeed most suitable for Nan Luo to bring these catapult around.     

This was mostly because Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai were both only 2000 men commanders. The number of their soldiers suffered a huge disadvantages when facing with the soldiers who were defending the cities.     

They had to make up the lack of number one way or another.     

And this catapult was indeed a good idea.     𝑜𝐕𝗅xt.𝑪𝐎𝑚

Most of the times, these young commanders would not be tasked with taking over a city and only fought in open areas. The main reason was because taking over cities required a lot of soldiers.     

The number of soldiers these independent armies from young commanders didn’t have.     

Long Qian Xing himself only started to take over cities from last year when he was promoted to 4000 men commander and Long Xu was promoted to be 2000 men commander along with a few other commanders under him. They all actually had their own armies, but they still followed him.     

This allowed him to have close to 10,000 soldiers under him.     

And this number was also enough for him to start taking over cities even though he himself was also resorting in some tricks. These tricks were useful to help him taking over cities.     

“We’ve arrived!”     

The yell from the scout pulled Long Qian Xing’s attention back. He could see Da Yi City from this direction and his eyes glinted.     

It was time.     

“Rest for the night! We’ll begin our attack in the morning.”     

“Yes, Commander!”     

Nan Luo also saw the city in front of them and his eyes widened. Da Yi City was bigger than the West Point City as it was one of the main defense from Wei Da Kingdom. This city had already survived from countless battles that Zhang Xu Kingdom staged in the past.         

How could it be such a small city?     

“It’s definitely going to be a hard battle.”     

“Not necessarily.” Nan Hua looked into the city and then withdrew her gaze.     

“Why?” Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows.     

“Because the one who lead is General Duan.”     

“Yes?”     

What’s the connection?     

While Nan Luo was confused, Feng Ao Kuai contemplated carefully. He knew the terms of knowing oneself, knowing one’s enemy, and in a thousand’s battle, you’ll win a thousand times.     

However, he had to admit that his knowledge over General Duan was a bit lacking.     

What did Nan Hua know that he missed?     

Nan Hua didn’t elaborate.     

Everything will be clear in a few days’ time.     

…     

Da Yi City     

General Duan saw the incoming army and took a deep breath. He had already instructed the commanders to reach their post to make sure that they will be able to defend the city well.     

Battling in the city and open areas were generally different.     

And General Duan didn’t want to take any risk.     

Knock! Knock!     

“General Duan, Young Commander Kui is here to see you.”     

“Let him in.”     

The door opened and Young Commander Kui walked inside. His eyes were burning with flames of rage, especially when he thought that the killer of his father was among the army who came.     

“General Duan,” Young Commander Kui greeted while cupping his fist.     

General Duan sighed deeply. He understood very well that Young Commander Kui was being consumed by huge desire for revenge. He waved his hand. “If you wish to participate, I’ll allow you to do so. However, you have to make sure to pay attention to your safety.”     

“Yes, I know, General Duan.”         

“Don’t rush into the enemy’s line just in order to take your revenge.” It’s not worth it to lose your life.     

General Duan didn’t continue his words and only looked at Young Commander Kui deeply. He understood very well that this was something that will definitely happen. Young Commander Kui is still too young.     

He was too young to fully understand that taking revenge is not that simple.     

But General Duan couldn’t stop this brash young man.     

“I know.” Young Commander Kui was still looking at General Duan. “I would like your permission to be in charge of one of the wall along with Young Commander Duan.”     

“I’ll give you permission.” General Duan was calm.     

“Thank you, General Duan.”     

After that, Young Commander Kui cupped his fist and retreated. As he turned around, his face was filled with ruthlessness.     

Tomorrow.     

He will make sure to kill his enemies tomorrow and avenged his father!     

General Duan watched from the back and shook his head slightly.     

…     

The night passed quietly.     

So quiet, yet so tense.     

The soldiers from both sides knew that they will clash in the morning and when the sun started to rise, both sides were already prepared for the battle. There were various expressions on their faces, but all in all, everyone was ready.     

Ready to face the battle that might determine the fate of Wei Da Kingdom!
