Chapter 1249
Chapter 1249
When these Imperial Guards suddenly attacked the Tartar troops guarding their side...
Not to mention the prisoners themselves, even those who had been oppressed and humiliated by them were shocked.
'Pfft! '
'Sizzle.'
After the Tartar soldiers were successively killed, Wu Jieyu removed his disguised official robes, revealing in public the legitimate Ming Dynasty flying fish robes.
"We are the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I have come here with Duke Xu to recover the lost territory."
'boom. ’
'Clatter.'
As he said this, Wu Jieyu kicked over several boxes containing weapons and protective gear.
He then added, "If you don't want the Tartars to trample on our land and bully our compatriots here, then damn it, take up arms."
"Follow us and charge into the barracks!"
The prisoners, who had already suffered endless humiliation here, did not hesitate at all after hearing Wu Jieyu's shout. They immediately bent down and picked up the weapons scattered on the ground.
“Zhang Chang, a veteran of the Northern Liang Greatsword Camp, is willing to follow Duke Xu to fight the enemy and recover our lost territories.”
"Ma Jian of the Northern Liang Mo Dao Camp is willing to follow Duke Xu to fight alongside him and recover our lost territories."
"..."
The mutiny of thousands of prisoners further disoriented the already panicked Tartars caused by the explosion at the Beiguan Water Fortress.
Especially after hearing that the Ming emperor's personal guards, led by Duke Xu, had stormed into the North Pass, they were even more at a loss.
"No one can back down!"
"General Aba Tu will be leading his troops to provide support soon."
"Array up!"
"Form ranks and block these people."
Inside the Yicheng barracks, a deputy general was shouting at the top of his lungs.
They were attempting to stabilize morale in this way.
But just as he finished speaking, a subordinate rushed in to report: "Sir, no, something bad has happened."
"Deputy General Aba Tu died in his tent."
"what?"
The medicine Qin Xiao'e administered was a slow-acting poison.
The initial indoctrination of Aba Tu into a deep sleep was to deceive those below. Later, the poison took effect, and he naturally died in his sleep.
It was this shout from the men below that caused the newly organized Tartars to panic once again.
"Don't panic!"
"Behind us lies the North Pass, guarded by a large army, protected by array formations, and even has a Celestial Official here..."
"What kind of damned Duke Xu is he? They're just here to die."
"As long as we withstand their initial onslaught, our garrison will come to our rescue."
'Boom.'
"what……"
Before the adjutant could finish speaking, an even more violent explosion erupted from the North Gate behind him.
The deafening sound, coupled with the earth-shaking sensation, caused the stubborn Tartars on the scene to instinctively let out desperate screams.
Turning their heads, they stared at the mushroom cloud that shot into the sky, just like the one at Beiguan Water Village. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.
What is going on here?
Something happened inside Beiguan City too?
Where is the promised large army to oversee operations?
Where is the promised protection from the formation?
Where is the promised "Heavenly Official"?
Before they could even figure out what was going on, Wu Jieyu and the other Imperial Guards, who were at the forefront, had already led their men to attack.
"The Duke of Xu has led his troops into the North Pass."
"Soldiers, follow me and kill these barbarians!"
"kill."
Wu Jieyu's shout completely shattered the morale of the remaining Tatar troops.
Before, they were clinging to this place because they still had some hope.
After all, he now belongs to the Tartars in Beiguan.
But now?
Has the North Pass fallen to Duke Xu?
Those inside are barely able to take care of themselves. Who can save them?
As a result, with their morale completely shattered, many of them couldn't even last a single round against the murderous Wu Jieyu and his troops, and collapsed to the ground.
"We surrender!"
"Don't kill us. We surrender..."
'Sizzle.'
As soon as the spineless Tartar knelt on the ground and shouted these words, Wu Jieyu, who was leading the charge, directly beheaded him.
"The Duke of Xu has issued an order."
"Take no prisoners, execute them on the spot."
"Yes."
With Wu Jieyu's words, the prisoners of war from Beiliang and the young men of Jizhou, who were already simmering with anger, finally found an outlet for their frustration.
Faced with the fleeing Tartar army, they drew their swords and charged straight at them.
They didn't give the other side a chance to beg for mercy. They attacked indiscriminately in groups of two or three!
"Where am I, our sacrificial group?"
"Where are they?"
"Why aren't you coming to help us?"
With nowhere left to retreat, the adjutant screamed in despair.
Especially when they saw Wu Jieyu, carrying a bloodstained blade, rushing towards them, they trembled all over.
"Lord Wu..."
"The tribute group of the Yicheng barracks has been completely eliminated."
When the ghostly Xuan Yue fish appeared beside Wu Jieyu and reported the news, the adjutant who heard it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
It's over, it's over!
The last hope was also extinguished.
Upon hearing this, Wu Jieyu, who was in charge of coordinating the battle in Yicheng, nodded emphatically and said, "Cooperate. Brothers outside, clear the scene as soon as possible."
"Make sure we have nothing to worry about!"
"Yes."
"Get to work and clear the scene."
In Xu Shan's plan, Yicheng and the North Gate coast were the retreat points for many of his brothers.
Even if the mission inside Beiguan City fails, Wang Qinian and the others who have been evacuated can still calmly leave by sea.
Furthermore, once this line is opened, the Jiangnan navy will be able to come here to rescue them at their leisure.
"Reporting to Lord Wu, Wangyangmen (the south gate of Beiguan) remains closed."
"There is a protective array outside."
"Brothers, we tried to force our way in, but we were all shaken back."
"Do you think Duke Xu and Lord Wang are trapped inside and unable to come to our aid?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jieyu's expression also turned extremely cold and stern.
Logically, after the bombing of the North Gate warehouse caused unrest in the city, our Duke and Lord Wang should have tried every means to capture Wangyang Gate, thus completely opening up this offensive line.
But why is there still no response?
Could it be that something has changed?
Or, what kind of danger did they encounter?
"Lord Wu, then, then we..."
"hold on!"
'boom.'
Just as Wu Jieyu and the others were worrying about their masters inside the city, the array barrier outside Wangyang Gate suddenly vanished!
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the tightly closed city gate suddenly swung open.
At this moment...
Wu Jieyu and the others rushed forward and saw Zhang Liansong and his men, their bodies stained red with blood, standing at the door holding embroidered spring knives.
Behind them lay the corpses of hundreds of Tartars, lying haphazardly.
"Go, fast!"
"The Duke of Xu has given an order..."
"Immediately eliminate all Tartars within the city."
"Yes."
"My lads, charge with me!"
'Clatter.'
With Wu Jieyu's order, the rescued prisoners, the accompanying Imperial Guards, and the Jiangnan naval commanders who arrived later to land...
Together they passed through Wangyang Gate and stormed into Beiguan!
