Nannan's nearly ten thousand troops were utterly defeated and quickly retreated. Some of them were killed by crossbow bolts, and many were trampled to death by their own people.
In just a few moments, Nannan had lost more than 5,000 men, and the life and death of their commander, Ashiduwu, was unknown!
Very soon, a horse galloped out of Jingyang City, took a rugged path, and rushed toward Wu 'an without a care for his life.
The people in Wu 'an were also worried about the situation in Jingyang. They looked forward to good news.
The three emergency letters from yesterday had already made many people feel uneasy!
At a quarter to ten, a winged cavalry warrior galloped into the city while shouting,
"Jingyang has reported victory!”
"Magnificent! The Mohist village fought a bloody battle in Jingyang. The young hero Luo Qiu shot and killed the senior guard of the South-South region, Ashide Wu!”
As they galloped towards the Imperial Palace, the commoners along the way tactfully made way for them.
"Good!"
An old man was the first to cheer. His turbid old eyes were filled with excitement.
Nannan had wreaked havoc on the Central Plains many times over the years, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil! This time, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty had ascended the throne and the people's hearts were unstable to destroy the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop!
His heart is worthy of punishment!
" Great Jin's Wan Sheng!"
Many citizens had already begun to shout loudly. Deafening shouts and endless joy soared into the sky!
There were also some onlookers who whispered to the people beside them," Mo Family Village? Which Mo Village? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"I don't have it either…"
Just as that person replied, there was a sound of a pole exploding nearby. This scene was as festive as the new year.
Wu An had been suppressed for too long!
Taiji Palace.
Emperor Zhang Er was full of worry. The officials sat at the lower seats. Many of them looked down, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
These people all held important positions. Some had been entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuan, such as Sikong One Pei Ji, while some were so-called trash!
Li Shi Min had just ascended the throne, and the throne was not properly obtained. It was naturally not good to attack them for the time being. They were also happy to see Zhang Er make a fool of himself, and even wanted to…
Welcome the return of Retired Emperor Li Yuan!
Just yesterday, the remonstrant doctor Cui Zheng had asked the Second Emperor Zhang to ask the Retired Emperor if he had any good ideas to repel the enemy, which made the Second Emperor Zhang so angry that his face turned green.
"Your Majesty, good news from Jingyang!"
Just as the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange, a travel-worn soldier shouted loudly and rushed in.
This voice made everyone present shudder. Emperor Zhang Er was even more excited." Quick, quickly present it!”
His hands trembled as he unfolded the paper. The more he read, the more excited he became. This was excitement that came from the bottom of his heart.
"Hahaha, good! What a good Mo Family Village, what a good Luo Qiu!”
...
Jie Li Khan was still dreaming of breaking through Wu 'an and occupying the Central Plains.
The news that the vanguard army had been defeated quickly came, and the high-ranking guard Ashidewu did not sip his breath. It seemed that he would not live long.
Nannan did not encounter any decent resistance along the way south, causing the generals to underestimate the enemy.
"Ashina Simo, with you as the vanguard, we must conquer Jingyang!”
"Yes, Khan!"
...
This was the first time Jingyang had repelled Nannan's attack without expending a single soldier. Of course, it did not count the few unlucky fellows who had been shot by the arrows.
This was an exciting victory!
Many people were standing on top of the wall, surrounding Luo Qiu. Each of them was still reminiscing about that magical arrow.
"Amazing! How many picul is this bow?"
Feng Li tried to pull Luo Qiu's bow, but he was surprised to find that it was difficult to pull it back, let alone draw it fully.
"Four stones."
Mo Hua twirled his white beard. This bow was his proudest work!
"Innate divine strength!" Feng Li looked at Luo Qiu with admiration.
Even Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, these Great Jin's fierce generals, the bows they used were also only around three picul!
Mo Hua seemed to have thought of something and asked," Xiao Qiu, did you just use a trap technique? What do you mean?"
Just a slight change in the arrow could increase the shooting range by several times. It was true that Luo Qiu's amazing arm strength was a factor in this, but many people of the Mo family could not figure out the reason for the change in the arrow.
Luo Qiu smiled." I've made a coincidence here…"
Just as he was about to speak, something happened by the Jingyang River. Everyone looked over and saw a scene that made their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Hundreds of cavalrymen from Nannan were forcing a group of people to cross the river, as if they were herding livestock! This group of people were mostly dressed in rags. They did not know what was going on and stumbled forward.
The north gate of Jingyang City was at the end of the road!
These were the commoners of Great Jin who had been captured by the South-South invaders!
There were also many old, weak, women, and children among them. They cried and cried along the way. If they walked slowly, they would be whipped…
The mournful cries and the helplessness that was wrapped in the wails resounded through the clouds!
Everyone watching on the city wall felt their hearts shatter…
