The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 440 - 439: What You Fear Is What Comes
Listening to the deafening sound from the Dongchu Kingdom’s camp, Fei Yuque, who was calm in the corner, suddenly opened his eyes.
Jun Ning guessed correctly; Fei Yuque indeed wanted to rely on those flashy and lavish words that admired Jun Ning to scatter the military spirit of Dongchu Kingdom, making it impossible for their strength to concentrate, and ideally, everyone would hold a mentality of winning easily, lying flat without moving.
In such a way, he could capture this battle effortlessly.
And his acting skills were good enough, deceiving his own brothers, guards, and many in the camps of both Bei Xia and Dongchu Kingdom. Everyone believed that he was enchanted by a rebellious, unconventional woman.
However, he didn’t manage to fool Jun Ning...
Facing his so-called admiration, Jun Ning remained calm and composed, completely unmoved by him, giving him a real slap in the face.
But that’s not all.
What angered him even more was that Jun Ning used the trap he laid to not only thwart his purpose with a few words but also reignite the military spirit, setting the soldiers of Dongchu Kingdom ablaze with fiery passion.
Now, all the soldiers are willing to fight fiercely to achieve the excellent conditions set by Jun Ning and the endless glory of the future.
This made all his efforts go to waste, and he got a significant slap in the face.
Fei Yuque was furious.
He got up with a roll, quickly broke free from the ropes that were binding him, and then took some medicine to treat his old wounds and relieve pain, restored his state, and rejoined the camp, ready to start fighting.
His guards and soldiers saw him appear, but there was no madness on their faces as before, inevitably curious and puzzled. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"Commander, you are...? No... not...?" Making a scene?
The latter part, not making a scene, seemed a bit unreasonable. It might be fitting to describe a young woman but to use it for someone as renowned and successful as Fei Yuque is quite insulting.
Therefore, the guard rephrased it mildly, asking, "Are you still planning to marry into Dongchu Kingdom?"
Fei Yuque laughed and said, "It seems that the princess of Dongchu Kingdom doesn’t fancy this commander. And this commander is also someone who values his dignity and can’t shamelessly cling onto it. In that case, it would be very ungentlemanly."
These words sounded a bit dignified.
Yet, no matter how dignified, there were still those who felt indignant for Fei Yuque.
"Being favored by the commander is an immense blessing. She dares to look down on the commander? Hmph! Truly ignorant of the heavens and earth, she should be taught a good lesson."
"Commander, in this battle, as long as we defeat their Dongchu Kingdom thoroughly, leaving them helpless, they won’t dare say anything anymore."
"Not only do they have to become our vassal state, but the entire royal family of Dongchu Kingdom will be destroyed. Even the woman the Commander fancies, they will have to obediently send her over."
This notion was quite appealing.
"Hahaha..."
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
The laughter carried a hint of disdain and superiority.
Especially Fei Yuque, whose laughter was the loudest and most joyful, hiding the most emotions within.
"Yes, exactly!" Fei Yuque shouted sharply. "Since Dongchu Kingdom won’t drink the toast offered, then let’s fight, fight until they are utterly defeated and completely convinced..."
Fei Yuque’s words were responded to with one accord.
"Fight until they are utterly defeated and completely convinced!"
"Fight until they are utterly defeated and completely convinced!"
The soldiers of Bei Xia, spared no effort, with the loudest voice, responded to Fei Yuque tirelessly, proving their strong stance and sincere loyalty.
Meanwhile, the Dongchu Kingdom camp was unwilling to show weakness. With Bei Xia’s camp being loud, they aimed to be louder, shouting desperately: "Capture Fei Yuque and make him the Crown Prince’s son-in-law."
"Capture Fei Yuque and make him the Crown Prince’s son-in-law."
The two different voices entwined, unwilling to give in, creating an atmosphere of fighting till the end.
The two commanders looked at each other, seemingly emotionless, yet their eyes only conveyed a message of persistent rivalry and determination only the other could understand.
They both wanted to win.
"Kill——"
"Kill——"
With the commander’s order, the bloodshed began.
Dongchu Kingdom’s one hundred thousand soldiers versus Bei Xia’s one hundred thousand soldiers.
Both sides had equal numbers with no definitive advantage.
Which side can win depends on the commanders’ capability and battle plans.
Smoke rose, innumerable catapults began hurling fiery stones, the invigorating drums beat rhythmically, and the sound of swords clashing was endless...
The war truly began.
This was Jun Ning’s first battle. Although psychologically prepared, being amidst it revealed that the reality was even more terrifying and dreadful than imagined.
Slaughter is everywhere, death is everywhere.
Any lapse in attention could lead to death.
Jun Ning, holding a somewhat awkward sword, but fully sufficient to deal with the minor minions ahead, fought fiercely.
Her strikes were ruthless; anyone confronting her was swiftly left without life.
The battle flag embroidered with "Bei Xia" fell to the ground, stained with the blood of Bei Xia soldiers, appearing somewhat bleak and tragic.
Jun Ning snorted twice, stepping on the battle flag, then looked at the blood-stained sword in her hand, smiled with satisfaction, and prepared to continue fighting.
Ye Ying and the elite guards of Qianji Pavilion, along with the elite guards of the Imperial Family, were protecting Jun Ning.
Jun Ning’s intent to kill was not stopped by them. But anyone foolish enough to harm Jun Ning would face their wrath.
The area within a hundred miles had turned into a battlefield.
The battle proceeded orderly according to plan.
Both sides were fighting fiercely with bloodshot eyes.
The battle continued from noon to afternoon, lasting two hours, yet still not concluded. Though fatigue and many casualties were evident on both sides, they continued to fight desperately.
While Jun Ning was focusing on the battle, she also paid attention to the battlefield’s position.
She had always feared that what she worried about would happen.
And indeed, what she feared came.
She noticed the battlefield, slowly moving towards the northwest direction, cleverly lured by Bei Xia soldiers, at a barely perceptible pace.
After several hours, unknowingly, they seemed to have moved twenty li.
Twenty li!
This was a terribly alarming number.
If the place they moved to had sinkholes or swallowing quicksand, then those moving behind, shoulder to shoulder, packed densely with no room to escape or retreat, being trapped would be terrifying.
Jun Ning was pondering whether to immediately launch the original plan when Chao Jiu came to report.
Chao Jiu hurriedly arrived, looking flustered and quite anxious.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, in the northwest, over a thousand of our soldiers have fallen into the pits dug early by Bei Xia, suffering heavy casualties..."
