"After this battle, the Marshal will surely be rembered throughout history." Fei Du said.
These words were music to Fei Yuque’s ears, and he burst into hearty laughter.
After laughing, he patted Fei Du on the shoulder, "... Fei Du, rest assured, if I am to be rembered forever, I will definitely not forget you. After all, the pit trap was not sothing I could accomplish alone. If it weren’t for your suggestion to secretly dig a large pit under the guise of training soldiers, today’s pit trap wouldn’t have been possible."
"The Marshal overpraises ." Fei Du modestly replied, "I only did what needed to be done."
"Look at you, always so humble." Fei Yuque said, "When credit is due, you should take it. This way, when rits are discussed, no one will forget you."
"Yes, Marshal, I will rember this." Fei Du responded, "Thank you for the reminder."
"Hahaha..."
The two continued to watch from a distance as soldiers of the Eastern Chu State and Bei Xia were continuously killed in the pit trap.
They felt no sorrow for the soldiers of Bei Xia who also fell into the pit and died in vain. Instead, they believed that their deaths were not in vain.
Next, the two discussed many plans for after the victory of this battle.
Fei Yuque wanted to seize the territories of the Eastern Chu State and wished to marry Jun Ning. Fei Du aid to beco a renowned Great General, continuing to achieve great things.
Although their goals differed in this matter, the process they intended to use to achieve their goals was the sa.
One could say their interests aligned.
Thus, they talked joyfully, with pride in their eyes at the sight of impending victory and a gradual relaxation of their previously tense deanor.
They both believed they were not far from victory.
However, it was precisely at this mont that an unexpected event occurred without warning.
A "boom—" explosion sounded, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Those nearby also shook.
Fei Yuque was startled, "What’s happening?"
Fei Du pointed to the smoke and flas rising from the edge of the pit and said, "Over there, it seems like an explosion occurred. Look at how the ground has been blown in a bit."
"What?"
In Fei Yuque’s knowledge, nothing could explode with such ferocity.
This completely overturned his understanding of the world.
Fei Yuque’s eyes widened in disbelief, murmuring, "What kind of power could be so great? The ground has been blown in? Let’s go, shall we take a look?"
Fei Yuque and Fei Du hurried over on horseback to see.
They simply wanted to understand the massive explosion that had just occurred, without considering that the explosion might not have been a one-ti event, but rather one of many.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
Soon after, there were several more deafening explosions.
The edge of the pit collapsed directly, and the road leading to the pit was destroyed and beca rugged, full of grooves.
After this, neither the soldiers of Eastern Chu nor Bei Xia could approach the pit any longer.
Fei Yuque’s pit trap plan was thus thwarted.
Moreover, many soldiers on the Bei Xia side were killed in the explosions.
When Fei Yuque arrived, he saw blood-red soil in the uneven pits blown by the explosion, dead bodies lying next to each other, severed limbs and remains everywhere, with sobbing blood stains.
The scene was even more brutal and shocking than the pit trap.
Fei Yuque was so stunned his eyes turned red. He knelt on the ground, pounding the earth with his fists, roaring, "Ahhhh, what kind of thing is this? How could it be so powerful!"
Fei Du followed closely behind Fei Yuque, continuously advising, "Marshal, please calm down."
"Calm down for what? I can’t calm down." Fei Yuque said angrily, "These exploding things are so powerful, one blow and the road is gone, and a pile of people are dead, so terribly dead. Fei Du, tell , how can we continue this battle? How do we even fight?"
Fei Yuque despairingly believed, "From now on, no matter how we fight, we are bound to lose because those explosive things are truly terrifying."
Even if the Bodhisattva Guanyin ca, we might not win!
Realizing all this, Fei Yuque began to feel hopeless and tornted.
He kept asking himself, in this battle, he had brought out all his hidden skills, so why must he still lose?
Are we from Bei Xia really facing a great disaster this ti?
