Novel Full Chapter 1479 Chaotic Battle
Commander Mao’s adjutant was startled and looked at the arrow that was heading towards Fei Yang Kingdom’s side.
His heart was beating fast.
He hoped that this would succeed.
Tak!
In the middle between the two of them, an arrow shot out, striking the arrow from Commander Mao halfway through.
Swish! Clang!
At the same time, a knife was thrown in the back arrow’s direction, shattering the bottle containing the poison.
“That’s…”
The soldiers nearby were startled by the sudden commotion above them, but this kind of thing had happened a few times. Thus, they were not very concerned.𝑜𝓥𝑳xt.𝗇𝓔t
Nan Hua looked at the shattered bottle and yelled, “RETREAT!”
The poison was transmitted through the air and could enter their body through the air. They had to evacuate from here as fast as possible before the poison reached them.
“Yes!”
The soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom turned around and began to retreat in orderly manner.
Nan Hua kept the crossbow she had been holding on the side of her horse and then led the horse away.
In just a few seconds, piercing scream rang out in the battlefield.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“My hands!”
“My eyes!”
Screams of horror spread from the battlefield as the soldiers from Fei Yang Kingdom retreated.
When Nan Hua shattered that bottle, the arrow was still above the soldiers of Zhang Xu Kingdoms, so they would bear the brunt first. But if the wind was heading towards them, then the situation might not be too good for them.
Drap! Drap! Drap!
Without hesitation, everyone quickly retreated, rushing towards their respective headquarter.
…
<Fei Yang Kingdom’s side, Great General Wei’s location at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>
“Great General Wei, someone shot the arrow faster than me,” a soldier quickly reported to Great General Wei.
Great General Wei was looking into the distance, at the chaos in the battlefield and quickly waved his hand. “Order retreat. The poison spread through the air.”
The soldier’s face changed and quickly ordered the soldiers to raise the flag to order them to retreat as fast as possible.
What a joke.
If they were all to be poisoned, how were they going to fight the subsequent battle against Zhang Xu Kingdom?
There were hundreds thousands of soldiers from both sides gathered here. If they were all die because of the poison, this would be the biggest joke in the world.
“Where’s Mu Qing?” Great General Wei recalled his daughter who was staying at the frontline.
“Replying to Great General Wei, Second Young Miss Wei was at the headquarter, treating the injured soldiers from yesterday’s battle who hadn’t recovered.”
“Call her back.”
“Yes, Great General Wei.”
There was no guarantee that these soldiers wouldn’t be poisoned and if they were to be poisoned, how fast the poison would spread?
Great General Wei felt that Zhang Xu Kingdom was really digging a big hole today and didn’t plan to cover the hole back again. He was sure that after today, this battle would definitely be spread out to increase Zhang Xu Kingdom’s ruthlessness’ reputation and many others.
Thankfully, that princess acted faster.
If it was slower, the number of poisoned soldiers on their side would definitely increase exponentially.
“Retreat in orderly manner. Try not cause panic.”
“Yes, Great General Wei.”
Even though that was what the soldiers said, they looked at the chaotic battlefield in the distance and felt that it was highly impossible.
Oh well, let’s just try it.
“Your Majesty, please return to the back. It’s not safe here.” Great General Wei walked to the side and cupped his fist.
Emperor Yang Zhou originally wanted to see this battle to completion. But looking at the chaotic battlefield in the middle where everyone was trying to stay away, he understood that Zhang Xu Kingdom was playing another tricks.
What kind of poison did they had made again?
“Give me detailed report of that poison.” Emperor Yang Zhou’s expression was dark.
If that poison was to be used again, they wouldn’t be able to fight properly. How were they supposed to continue this war like this?
They would be forced to halt again on the premise of investigating the poison’s antidotes and raising their defense.
Would they end up being forced to fight a long distance battle?
That would be suffocating.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Great General Wei also understood the implication of such poison on the battlefield. It was like ending the war ahead of time because Zhang Xu Kingdom had a weapon that no other kingdom would be able to face.
But he had the feeling that this kind of poison wouldn’t be easy to make.
If it was easy, Zhang Xu Kingdom wouldn’t purposely aim towards Emperor Yang Zhou in the first place.
…
<Fei Yang Kingdom’s side, Wei Mu Qing’s location at the long border between Zhang Xu Kingdom and Fei Yang Kingdom>
“Father ordered for me to return?” Wei Mu Qing had just washed her hand and looked at the soldiers from her father with confusion.
“Yes. There are some situations on the frontline and it’ll be safer for you to return.” The soldier cupped his fist politely but his stance and words clearly leave no room for negotiation.
This is an order.
Knowing that her father didn’t want to put her in danger, Wei Mu Qing nodded obediently. She still wished to treat more injured soldiers, but she also knew that she was only allowed to help on the premise that her safety was guaranteed.
If not, her father would never let her come here and would just lock her in the boudoir to wait for marriage.
“Is the situation really bad?” Wei Mu Qing asked after she cleaned up and her maidservants helped to carry her bag and equipment.
“Replying to Second Young Miss Wei, Zhang Xu Kingdom is making a new type of poison and spread it on the battlefield once again.”
Poison.
Wei Mu Qing’s delicate eyebrows furrowed when she heard this. She had been researching the poison from Zhang Xu Kingdom and also recalled the antidotes that Nan Luo showed to her.
