Three Kingdoms: Ten Times Speed, Diao Chan Says I'm Too Fast
Chapter 197 Cowardice and refusal to fight—their crime deserves death! [1]
On the city wall of Yunwu West City.
The soldiers who were stranded on the city wall after the retreat of the Western Qiang have been killed, and even their corpses have been pushed down from the city wall.
Tall and slender, Wang Yi, dressed in leather armor, was covered in blood.
The short gun in his hand was also stained red with blood.
The red tassels were dazzling.
The surviving soldiers had no time to grieve; they carried their wounded comrades to the side of the battlements and placed the bodies of the fallen on the opposite side.
The bleak autumn wind carried withered yellow leaves to the blood-stained ground.
A feeling of emptiness and lingering fear, unlike anything he had ever experienced, welled up in Wang Yi's heart.
Coupled with the fierce fighting just now, Wang Yi needed to lean against the battlements to barely keep his balance.
The soldiers around Wang Yi looked at him with approval and respect.
A military officer stepped forward, untied a wine flask from his waist, and handed it to Wang Yi.
"Have a sip. It's normal to go to the battlefield for the first time."
The military commander seemed to be talking to himself as he said, "When I first went to the battlefield, I was not as good as you."
"At that time, I thought I was very brave, but when I saw the enemy charging at me on horseback, I was completely stunned with fear."
"If the old sergeant hadn't pulled me up, I might have been dead by now."
The military commander nodded and said, "You are already very capable. A girl who can wield a gun and kill enemies is no less than a man."
Wang Yi glanced at the wine pouch in the military officer's hand but did not reach out to take it.
She had never drunk alcohol before.
The military commander unscrewed the wine flask, took a big gulp, and then wiped his mouth.
"It's normal for people to die in war."
"If you don't kill them, they will kill you."
"The person who was talking to you just a moment ago may become a dead person the next moment."
The military commander looked towards the outside of the city.
outside the city.
Tian Yan's body still lay on the cold ground.
But no one dared to open the city gates.
The old general's body could only lie there alone.
Perhaps... he wasn't alone, because beside Tian Yan were the corpses of many Han soldiers.
Just as Wang Yi was pondering whether he would die here like Tian Yan, he was wondering if he would also die here.
A series of heavy footsteps echoed from below the city.
Turning his head, Wang Yi saw a tall general wearing a striking black thorn armor and a red cloak behind him.
It's him!
Wang Yi's beautiful eyes lit up.
Wang Yi had clearly seen the scene of Duan Yu charging and fighting outside the city.
Several military officers followed Duan Yu directly to the west gate.
The surrounding soldiers immediately straightened up and looked at Duan Yu.
Although I don't know Duan Yu's identity, judging from his clothes and the scene of him charging outside the city just now, I know that Duan Yu's identity is definitely not ordinary.
The military officers following Duan Yu quickly arrived at the city wall and asked, "Where is General Tian?"
"This is General Duan, the Prefect of Hanyang Commandery and the General of the Central Army who is in charge of the mission to the Xiongnu."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were filled with awe.
Duan Yu nodded, meeting the gazes of the many soldiers.
When their gaze fell upon Wang Yi, it immediately filled with astonishment.
woman?
Duan Yu looked Wang Yi up and down; Wang Yi was over 1.7 meters tall and wearing leather armor.
Her outstanding figure was perfectly showcased by the exquisite and form-fitting leather armor.
Her legs were long and slender, her waist was so thin it could be encircled by a single hand, and the short purple cape behind her added a touch of heroic spirit.
Look at that blood-stained leather armor and the blood-soaked short gun in his hand.
These are clearly bloodstains left over from the recent battle.
Female general......
The military officer who had just been speaking with Wang Yi stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Duan Yu, saying:
"Reporting to the general, General Tian... sacrificed his life for his country."
Ok?
Duan Yu frowned.
He died in battle?
The military commander pointed to the area below the city and said, "The city walls just fell. General Tian fought bravely and perished along with the enemy soldiers when they fell from the city walls."
The soldiers on the city wall looked somber.
Tian Yan currently holds no official position.
He was just an ordinary citizen.
But the military commander willingly addressed Tian Yan as General Tian.
Judging from the expressions of the soldiers around him, Duan Yu knew how Tian Yan was regarded by them.
He glanced sideways at Zhao Ang, who was being led up to the city wall.
Duan Yu frowned and asked, "General Tian holds no official position, while you, as the magistrate of Yunwu County, why are you untainted by blood?"
Several soldiers standing near the battlements, their eyes filled with sorrow, immediately stepped forward upon hearing Duan Yu's words.
"General Duan, we are our lord's personal guards."
"The county magistrate, Zhao Ang, was cowardly and did not fight."
"If our lord hadn't ordered us to capture him and bring him to the city, he would still be hiding in the county government and refusing to come out!"
"If it weren't for him, how could our lord have died in battle!"
"Yes, it's him, that cowardly coward, it's all his fault!"
Tian Yan's retainers looked at Zhao Ang with grief and indignation.
Cowardice and refusal to fight?
Duan Yu turned around and his gaze fell on Zhao Ang.
The Western Qiang have been attacking Yunwu for quite some time now.
If that's the case, then this county magistrate Zhao Ang hasn't participated in the war at all.
"Is what they're saying true?" Duan Yu asked Zhao Ang with a cold gaze, "Answer me, what were you doing these past few days while the Western Qiang were attacking the city!"
Zhao Ang's face stiffened, turning completely pale.
"I...I...I'm being transferred by the county government..."
"Bullshit!" Duan Yu roared, "The Western Qiang have besieged the city, and Prefect Chen Yi has died in battle. You are hereby appointed as the commander of the city."
"At this time, instead of going up to defend the city, you tell me you're in the county government making deployments?"
"General Tian is a commoner, yet he knows how to scale the city walls and defend them. How can you, as the county magistrate, be afraid to fight?"
Zhao Ang's legs went weak, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud: "General...General, spare me..."
"Humph."
Duan Yu snorted coldly, "If I spare you, who will spare these fallen soldiers?"
"Stone, Tiger Slave."
"The general is here!"
Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who were following behind Duan Yu, stepped forward.
Duan Yu pointed at Zhao Ang, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Chop this useless thing down!"
"As an official, you are cowardly and unwilling to fight. What use are you if you are left alive!"
"killed!"
"only!"
Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Ang's arms, and pulled him up from the ground, heading towards the battlements.
"General..."
"General Duan, spare my life!"
"General Duan, spare my life, I..."
"Help me, Wang Yi, help me!"
Zhao Ang shouted for help.
However, on the city wall, not a single soldier or military commander spoke a word for Zhao Ang.
Yunwu was surrounded, and Zhao Ang, fearing for his life, hid in the county government and refused to come out, which was witnessed by everyone.
Now, who can save him?
As for Wang Yi standing on the city wall...
His eyes turned away as he watched Zhao Ang being dragged to the battlements, his head falling from the city wall after being beheaded.
Wang Yi?
Duan Yu turned his head and followed the woman behind Zhao Ang, who had been looking at him before he died.
"Your name is Wang Yi?" Duan Yu asked.
Wang Yi lowered his gaze and nodded slightly.
what.
Duan Yu suddenly remembered.
He said that the name Zhao Ang sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
It turns out... he is Wang Yi's husband.
If we mention Zhao Ang, probably no one would know him.
But if we're talking about Wang Yi, as a woman who could rival Ma Chao, there are probably not many people who don't know her.
“Then he…” Duan Yu pointed to Zhao Ang, whose head had been chopped off by Tie Shitou.
"Reporting to the general, Magistrate Zhao is my fiancé," Wang Yi replied, bowing his head.
Duan Yu responded with an "oh".
So he was her fiancé. He said that if he were her husband, how could Wang Yi not care about him?
It seems that his unintentional act has actually resulted in the death of Wang Yi's future husband.
"Men, open the city gates and bring back General Tian's body!"
Duan Yu didn't care too much about killing Wang Yi's fiancé.
He is no longer the lowly vagrant heir of Jinyang City.
Back then, a county magistrate named Chen Ye almost plotted against him to his death, so now... a county magistrate like Zhao Ang, killing him is no big deal.
