409 Fight Against Hai Family (3)

Prince Yang Lu let out a faint helpless smile before he turned stern again. "Let's have a good talk with the officials."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The head guard watched from the back and there was an uncontrollable smile formed on his lips. He had followed Prince Yang Lu ever since he was young and had seen how bratty Prince Yang Lu used to be. But time tempered the previously naughty and arrogant brat to be a proper leader.

He was glad that Prince Yang Lu grew up.

Even though it would be impossible for Prince Yang Lu to hold the highest position now, it was clear that he could at least show his support for his brother and kept his life.

That was good enough.

…

At the wall

"Commander, soldiers from the southwest direction had come!"

"Hmm?"

A middle aged man raised his head. He had a large and muscular body that could easily deter anyone from getting close to him. Unlike his other family members who were more slender, those who looked at him would have thought that he was indeed a giant.

"Leader?"

"Based on the flag, it's from Nan Family."

"Nan?" The middle aged man, Second Commander Hai, let out a faint laugh. "Finally, that old fogey had come here. Maintain the formation and lock the gate. I shall see how they're planning on taking over the city that way."

"Yes, Commander!"

Commander Hai stood at the front, looking at the row of soldiers coming in front of him. There was a smile on the corner of his lips. "To think the day when I'll fight against the legend had come."

He had long waited for this day.

This time, he wanted to prove to the people that the so called legend was nothing much. He was nothing more than a washed up general who couldn't stand against those of the younger generation anymore.

Their time had run out!

"You come, Great General Nan!" Commander Hai shouted.

Great General Nan, Old Master Nan, was sitting on top of the horse while looking at Commander Hai. He sighed internally but his figure stood tall as he rode his horse in front of his soldiers.

"Hou Liang, any message from those in Kuai City?"

"None, Master."

Old Master Nan was a bit worried about his grandchildren. However, he also knew that he was the one who put them inside the city in order to put them in a better position against Hai Family. He hoped that they would be save or this operation wouldn't be worth it.

"Commander Hai, do you really think that you have won this way?" Great General Nan asked back.

"You won't be able to enter." Commander Hai sneered.

Old Master Nan waved his hand. "Heavy armor, stay at the front and then hurry to reach the wall. Bring the ladders."

"YES!"

Hou Liang quickly lead the soldiers to rush towards the large wall before him. It was not the first time Old Master Nan would not make a move personally. After all, there was no worthy opponent that was worth it for him to sacrifice his old body.

If it was back when he was young, he wouldn't mind rampaging on the battlefield.

But now that he was already quite old, he didn't have the intention of exerting his body and possibly put himself in danger for unnecessary matter.

"Archer!" Commander Hai shouted.

The archers quickly went into their position and began to shoot. Rains of arrow reached towards the soldiers below them.

Thunk! Tak! Clang!

The heavy armored soldiers were equipped with shield, protecting them from the barrage of arrows. When it came to attacking a besieging city, they would have to open the door from inside if they wished to enter.

Thus, the method that was commonly used was for them to make their way in from the top. It was a method that would require them to sacrifice a lot of their soldiers in order to be able to reach inside.

"Climb! Climb!"

"Don't let them go up!"

Old Master Nan watched from the back as the soldiers were climbing the ladder under the heavy rain of arrows. There were many methods that they could use in order to prevent the soldiers from reaching the top.

He turned his head. "Are those ready?"

"Yes, General!"

"Use them."

A row of archers carrying bigger bows stood beside them. They were aiming towards the wall, within the gap of the ladders from each other.

"Fire!"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Thunk! Thunk!

"They land nicely." Old Master Nan nodded. However, the problem was that there were not many arrows of this material and the archers were not many. It would take a long time for them to build the stairs with the arrows outside the wall.

His ambitions had to be put into rest for now.

Not everyone would be able to use it either.

Bang!

On top of the wall, there was suddenly loud sound. Commander Hai was stunned as he turned his head and looked at the commotion. Many soldiers could be seen screaming in panic as the dust rushed over in his direction.

"What's that?" Commander Hai asked. "The soldiers shouldn't have reached the wall yet."

"That's…" the soldier was stunned. "Someone from inside?"

"Impossible!"

There was no way that there could be any spies. He had already instructed Yi Wa Organization to make their moves and prevent anyone from getting close to the soldiers. That way, none of the soldiers would dare to think of betraying them.

The lives of their loved ones were in his hand.

"Find out who they were!" Commander Hai gave his order hurriedly.

Bang!

"Gaaah!"

Several soldiers were sent flying towards the enemy soldiers below. This would allow the soldiers to be able to reach the top faster.

Commander Hai looked at the person who lead the group as his eyes widened in disbelief. How come he was here?

"How did you…?"

"Are you surprised?" The young man asked with a grin.
