Red Mansion: Picking up a Lin Daiyu

Chapter 77 Final Battle
In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, corpses were lying all over the place.

The white marble railings were stained red with blood, and broken arms and debris were floating in the reservoir, making the ground a mess.

Looking at his masterpiece, King Kang in the hall couldn't help but laugh wildly and said, "Father, what do you think? Do you still think I can't win?"

Emperor Yuan Qing stared at the outside without blinking, and said lightly: "You really have a heart of stone."

The helper he invited one moment became the bait to lure the enemy to attack the next moment.

King Kang said complacently, "A heart of stone? When you ascend the throne, you must be ruthless and decisive. I will kill anyone who refutes me. I will kill them all, and only my supporters will be left. Isn't that wonderful?"

His face turned cold and his eyes darkened. "In the past, I tried to curry favor with everyone, pretended to be smiling, and treated everyone in harmony. That was cowardice! It was because I felt that I was not as good as him that I had to win over others to support me!"

"As long as I am strong enough, everyone will be my pawn! No one dares to disobey me, so the throne will naturally be mine!"

Looking at the sickly-looking Emperor Yuan Qing, Prince Kang laughed again, "It's all thanks to my father who taught me this truth."

"Those who are mean and ungrateful will be deserted by their friends and family. You will regret it."

"Regret? I only regret that my father didn't force me earlier!"

……

After a wave of arrow rain, all the members of the Wulanha tribe were killed, and Wulanha Atai was unable to move due to his injuries. He was shot like a porcupine.

An expression of fear and disbelief was forever fixed on his face.

Yue Ling returned to the battle formation, and immediately a captain came forward to report the military secrets, "Commander Yue, the soldiers of the Beijing camp have already lined up outside the city!"

Yue Ling shouted angrily: "Don't panic, put up your shields to block the rain of arrows! Tell the soldiers on the city wall to fire a round of arrows in front of the palace to interrupt the enemy's attack and buy us some time! Then send someone to pour oil on the city gate and burn it!"

The captain was shocked and asked, "Burn the city gate?"

"We don't have enough troops to send more people to defend the city gate. We must burn it to prevent the Beijing camp soldiers from breaking through the gate. Go and do it!"

"Commander Yue, burning the city gates can only stop us for a while."

"It will only take a moment. I have my own way to defeat the enemy!"

The captain said no more and immediately followed Yue Ling's military orders.

At the end of the formation, soldiers began to pour oil on the city gate.

The King of Qin kept looking at the battlefield with a sweet taste in his mouth. He never questioned any of Yue Ling's decisions, even the fight of his life.

Seeing Yue Ling, who had charged into and broken through the enemy's formation several times, still trying to stabilize the formation against the enemy, his heart couldn't help but soften.

As the enemy's rain of arrows stopped and the offensive was no longer as strong as before, the army continued to move forward. The King of Qin followed the formation, and as he got closer, he seemed to always be able to feel that he was being watched from somewhere.

Taking advantage of the light in the main hall, he suddenly discovered that there was someone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The human figure was blurry and unclear, but the inexplicable feeling of disgust in his heart made him feel that it was King Kang.

The King of Qin silently picked up the strong bow on horseback and waited for the best distance to draw the bow.

In front of the battle, Yue Ling also noticed all this.

King Kang never showed up on the battlefield, but it was obvious that this army was not commanded by Sun Qi. The Yulin Army also had Deputy Commander Shi Chong supervising the battle.

King Kang could only see the nearby position of the battlefield.

The city gate was ablaze with flames, the flames lit up the sky, and billowing black smoke rose. The Qin army had nowhere to retreat, and the soldiers of the Qin Palace, who were unaware of the situation, wavered their flags.

Yue Ling shouted in the battle array, "King Kang is a rebel and is plotting against the imperial city. The people of the state should fight now! Punish the rebels and protect the emperor's prestige!"

Upon hearing this, the personal guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace were like chicken blood, shouting in response, "Punish the rebels and protect the emperor's prestige!"

Yue Ling led the troops, holding a heavy shield and standing at the front, and gave orders to the messengers on both sides. "Forward, stop within thirty steps!"

Colorful flags were waving continuously in the formation, sending signals to everyone.

Braving the hail of arrows, the army marched in unison over the corpses on the battlefield, slowly approaching like a giant steel beast.

In the eyes of the Yulin Army and King Kang's Army, they, with their backs against the Fire Gate, looked more like beasts walking out of hell. They were invulnerable to swords and spears, and their aura was terrifying.

He had been pulling the bow for a long time, and had used up most of his strength. In a panic, his hands were no longer under his control, and his accuracy and strength had long been lost. The closer the Qin Palace's army array was, the smaller the obstacle became.

The disadvantage in momentum is already a disadvantage on the battlefield.

When they were close to the lowest step of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Yue Ling judged that the distance was enough, so he gave the order again: "Withdraw shields, and fire muskets!"

At a command, a gap appeared between the shields, and the muskets were extended and fired at the enemy.

When the muskets were extended and a volley of fire was fired, the enemy was unable to resist and the situation was reversed in the blink of an eye.

"Come closer, round two!"

At such a close distance, the lethality of iron balls is far greater than that of bows and arrows. Even if the Yulin Guards wearing chain mail are hit by an iron ball, although it will not be fatal, they will be scratched by iron filings and lose their combat effectiveness.

"Round three! Go!"

After three rounds of continuous volleys, except for the lucky ones who found cover, everyone on the field fell to the ground and the defense line no longer existed.

Yue Ling immediately covered the battlefield and killed them, "Anyone who doesn't lay down his weapon will be killed on the spot!"

……

Emperor Yuan Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched the guards of the Prince of Qin's Palace becoming more and more courageous as they fought and broke through the defense line built by the Yulin Guards and the guards of the Prince of Kang's Palace.

"I'm afraid that the 'protection of the monarch' they are talking about is no longer for an old monarch like me."

However, Emperor Yuan Qing was happy to see the King of Qin win, so he mocked the embarrassed King Kang and said, "How about it? Did you win?

King Kang jumped up in anger, "What is Jia Daihua doing! How many hours will it take to get from the Qin Palace to the Imperial City?"

"Oh? You still have a trump card. It's strange that Jia Daihua would let you do whatever you want. How did you trick him?"

Prince Kang pulled up Emperor Yuan Qing's collar, without saying anything, his face was already filled with rage, "Isn't it because of you that I lost? Why would there be firearms in the Prince Qin's mansion?"

"Firearms are inaccurate, and you just don't think highly of them. Erlang didn't think highly of them either, but that young general used them well. The military formations were originally improved to match firearms."

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it, this throne is mine!"

Just as King Kang was going crazy, a musket suddenly flew over and smashed the door in front of him to pieces.

The next moment, an arrow shot into the hall and hit King Kang in the left chest, causing him to bleed and fall back.

Keeping himself calm, King Kang saw from afar the King of Qin on horseback gathering his bow and arrows and riding towards him.

The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. King Kang no longer had the ability to fight back. He lay on the ground, barely gasping for breath, only still shouting curses.

"I am sorry that I came late to save you, and I frightened you."

The King of Qin dragged his sick body. The arrow he just shot seemed to have exhausted all his stored strength. He was now half-kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath.

Emperor Yuan Qing looked at the King of Qin and forced a smile on his face, "No problem."
