Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Zhao Nande and Lie Shu were blown away more than ten meters. Although they kept a certain distance from the explosion point and there were soldiers in front of them acting as a human wall to bear most of the impact for them, they still suffered serious internal injuries.

A trace of blood oozed from the corner of Lie Shu's mouth, while Zhao Nande, whose martial arts were far inferior to his, directly spat out a mouthful of blood. However, they had no time to take care of their own injuries and continued to stagger away from the north gate.

The explosions continued, and houses were reduced to ruins one after another in the explosions. Countless pieces of iron flew around in Jingzhou City.

The sky was filled with flames that shot up into the sky. The originally light rain seemed to be swept away by the heat wave, and the weather suddenly cleared up.

In the light of the fire, Qin Haoran's face, which was not very good-looking to begin with, was now difficult to tell whether it was gloomy and dark blue or furious and dark red.

Seeing Zhao Nande and Lie Shu escaping in an extremely embarrassed state, his eyebrows couldn't stop trembling and he could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart.

He knew in his heart that the battle was not over yet and he might have to face even more serious consequences.

Liang Xueying on the side looked at the Jingzhou City that had been engulfed by the fire caused by the explosion calmly, without any extra emotion.

More than a thousand soldiers in Jingzhou City were killed or wounded, and the tens of thousands of troops at the south gate lost the command of Zhao Nande and Lie Shu. They were frightened out of their wits by the horrific noise and began to flee back like frightened birds.

Nearly 60,000 troops, stretching for several miles, retreated quickly to the east and west in panic. Although there was a lack of order, most of these people were battle-hardened border troops and their speed of movement was not slow.

However, just as Qin Haoran thought, the explosion in Jingzhou City was just the beginning.

Several more deafening explosions were heard from the east and west. The hundreds of kilograms of black gunpowder that Xia Qin had buried under the road surface in advance successfully cut off the retreating Daxia army.

Accompanied by huge flames and thick smoke, the whole earth seemed to tremble.

Dozens of soldiers were instantly thrown dozens of meters into the air by the powerful impact, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Their bodies were torn apart by the explosion, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. It was a horrible sight. The other soldiers were terrified and fled in all directions, but they didn't know where to go.

"Qin, General Qin..." Hearing the explosion again, Zhao Nande looked at Qin Haoran tremblingly.

His voice was filled with fear and despair, as if the end of the world was coming.

Qin Haoran closed his eyes in despair and helplessness, and uttered a word in a low voice: "Fire..."

The word rang out in his mouth like a curse, filling him with sadness.

Sure enough, just as he had expected at first, the woods near Jingzhou City suddenly caught fire.

The fire spread rapidly, like a ferocious beast devouring everything. The air was instantly filled with the smell of grease and pungent smoke, making it impossible for the soldiers to breathe.

The drizzle had just stopped, and the winter forest was wet on the outside and dry on the inside. A huge fire with the smell of oil and gas and thick black smoke instantly enveloped tens of thousands of troops.

The soldiers panicked and ran in all directions, but they found themselves trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

However, the path they thought they could escape was filled with constant explosions, and each explosion brought more casualties and chaos, plunging them into deeper despair.

The city of Jingzhou, inside and outside, had become like purgatory. The raging flames illuminated the entire night sky red, and charred corpses and ruined buildings were everywhere.

Heart-wrenching cries and curses were heard one after another. This scene made Qin Haoran, who was always known for his cold-bloodedness, look a little gloomy. He frowned, and there was an unprecedented confusion in his eyes.

I was too self-righteous and careless. I knew that Mu Jinyan was a weird woman, but I thought I could handle it.

"General Qin," Liang Xueying reminded, "Jingzhou City has gradually calmed down. We can send people through the city to rescue these soldiers."

She pointed ahead and seemed to see tens of thousands of soldiers struggling in the raging fire, waiting for rescue.

Qin Haoran turned his head and glanced at Zhao Nande and Lie Shu who were lying on the ground seriously injured. Their faces were as pale as paper and their breath was weak.

Qin Haoran's eyes were filled with pleading as he said, "Military Advisor Liang, I'm afraid you are the only one who can go now."

Liang Xueying hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards Jingzhou City with several guards.

Xia Qin was watching this tragic scene not far away. She frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly said to Mo Ye: "Mo Ye, let your people retreat."

Hearing this, Mo Ye couldn't help but feel confused and surprised. He stared at Xia Qin and couldn't help asking, "Retreat? If they retreat now, they will have a chance to escape through Jingzhou City. They may not have such a good opportunity next time."

Mo Ye stared at the tens of thousands of enemy troops that were about to be wiped out in front of him, his heart filled with confusion.

Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye and explained, "Forget it. This is indeed too cruel. After all, they are all border troops of Da Xia and are also Da Xia's citizens. Even if they escape now, I'm afraid they won't dare to stand in front of us again. Our goal has been achieved."

"Yes, Master," Xiaoyu, who was standing next to Mo Ye, echoed, "These soldiers are so pitiful! This is simply the punishment from hell!"

Mo Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xia Xia, you have said this more than once. The next time they attack us, they may not treat their soldiers as the people of Da Xia like we did and show mercy. It is not good to be kind to the army, but since you have decided so, I will listen to you."

"Thank you. Don't worry." Xia Qin looked at Mo Ye and forced a smile, grateful for his understanding. "After this, I believe they will not choose to attack violently for the time being."

She understood that if it was her brother Mu Jinyu who was here, he would definitely not make such a choice.

However, if this is the case, there seems to be no difference between himself and the Qin family. After all, these Daxia soldiers are not his blood enemies, and they have not done anything against the principles of heaven. Since he is confident that he can win the final victory, why should he be so cruel?

Mo Ye nodded, turned to Xia Xiao behind him and said, "Xia Xiao, notify Han Yu and Yan Yang immediately, and lead all the brothers to retreat immediately and have a good rest!"

"Okay, Brother Mo Ye." Xia Xiao jumped away.

"Xia Xia, you have almost used up all your black powder this time," Mo Ye said worriedly, looking at the blazing fire not far away, "next time we fight the enemy, we can only fight with real swords and guns."

"I hope that day will never come." Xia Qin looked into the distance with a determined look.

What she didn't know at this time was that endless fighting had already begun in other parts of Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
