Chapter 139 Zhang Fan: I will lead you back in triumph!
Zhang Fan suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Hu's arm, and forcefully pulled him up from the ground!
"Get up, all of you!!"
Zhang Fan's voice was equally hoarse, and it rang out loudly in this tragic atmosphere!
"Who said you were supposed to die?!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he scanned each kneeling soldier, and he roared, enunciating each word clearly:
"The lives of the soldiers of my Great Qin are precious!"
"It's not meant for you to waste like this!"
"I promised His Majesty I would bring you back!!"
"I, Zhang Fan, hereby swear this oath!"
Zhang Fan raised the Ding Qin Sword high in his hand, its tip pointing straight to the sky, and let out a deafening roar!
"I will lead every one of you out of here!"
"We...will return in triumph!!!"
Zhang Fan's roar exploded in the ears of every soldier.
A triumphant return?
In such dire circumstances, they never even considered those four words.
Wang Hu looked at Zhang Fan, seeing the intense conviction burning in his bloodshot eyes.
He suddenly realized that this immortal master had never intended to abandon any of them.
In his eyes!
Our lives are not worthless, nor are we pawns to be sacrificed.
It is incredibly precious!
"Immortal Master..."
A young soldier, his lips trembling, two lines of tears sliding down his blood-stained cheeks.
It wasn't because of despair, but because of being moved.
Because it is cherished!
"Waaah...we...our worthless lives..."
"Get up! All of you, get up!!"
Wang Hu wiped away his tears and roared at the group of brothers behind him who were still in a daze.
"Didn't you hear what the Immortal Master said?"
"We will return victorious!"
"only!"
At that moment, all the soldiers seemed to be infused with power.
They stood up from the ground, straightening their already exhausted backs.
The despair in their eyes was replaced by hope.
Since the immortal master said they could live, then they definitely could live.
Since the immortal master said they would return in triumph, then they will surely return in triumph.
Looking at the group whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, a resolute glint flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes.
He turned his head and shouted sternly:
"Wang Hu!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Take all the 'heavenly lightning' we brought!"
"promise!"
Without hesitation, Wang Hu immediately ordered his personal guards to bring out all the packages wrapped in oiled paper and cowhide.
The soldiers had no idea what was inside those heavy packages.
But they believed in Zhang Fan unconditionally.
"Everyone, follow me! Destination: the side courtyard!!"
At Zhang Fan's command, the remaining hundreds of soldiers moved with a resolute spirit.
They quickly mustered their forces and charged toward the side courtyard, which was relatively poorly guarded.
Outside the side courtyard wall, Han Zhen's county soldiers were also stationed.
They listened to their commander's persuasion to surrender, their faces mocking, waiting for the people inside to fall into utter despair.
Zhang Fan walked to the wall, took a burning torch from a soldier, and then picked up a bomb.
Without hesitation, he lit the fuse with a torch.
"Sizzle—"
The fuse sparked and quickly caught fire.
Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Fan used all his strength to throw the flaming oil paper package over the courtyard wall into the crowd outside.
"What is that?"
"Did it fall from the sky?"
The county soldiers outside the wall were looking up.
They saw a black, burning package fly in an arc and land among them.
Several bold soldiers even went closer to see what it was.
However, the next second——
"boom!!"
A tremendous explosion suddenly erupted.
In that instant, the world lost its color.
The blinding firelight illuminated the darkness.
A powerful shockwave, carrying countless steel balls and iron fragments, swept outwards from the package as its center.
Those soldiers who were closest to the group!
Before he could even scream, his body was torn to shreds in an instant.
The surrounding soldiers were easily thrown into the air, their limbs breaking off in mid-air, blood and bits of flesh splattering everywhere.
Within a radius of ten feet, it instantly turned into a bloody and mangled hell.
This sudden turn of events left all the surviving soldiers completely bewildered.
Their ears were filled with a buzzing sound.
Before my eyes were severed limbs and rivers of blood.
fear.
An uncontrollable fear instantly gripped everyone's heart.
"Sorcery... Demonic arts!"
"It's divine punishment! It's divine punishment!"
"A ghost!!!"
The encirclement instantly descended into chaos.
The soldiers threw down their weapons and fled in a frenzy.
Formations and commands became a joke at this moment.
They just wanted to get as far away from the terrifying epicenter of the explosion as possible.
The camp was in chaos.
Inside the prefectural governor's mansion, Zhang Fan's soldiers felt the intense tremors through the courtyard wall.
They were all stunned by the huge noise and the agonizing screams outside.
Immediately, a surge of ecstasy welled up inside me.
"Heavenly lightning! This...this is the heavenly lightning the Immortal Master spoke of!"
"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"
The way they looked at Zhang Fan had changed from worship to fanatical faith.
At the main gate, Han Zhen was smugly waiting for the enemy to surrender.
He was so startled by the loud noise that he almost fell off his horse.
He stared in horror toward the side courtyard, watching the flames and black smoke shooting into the sky, his face turning deathly pale.
"not good!!"
He realized it instantly.
Zhang Fan needs to break through from there!
"Quick! Stop them!"
"All of you, go to the side courtyard! We absolutely cannot let him escape!!"
Han Zhen roared hoarsely, trying to stop the rout of the army.
However, it was too late!
……
"Everyone! Take your 'Heavenly Thunder' and 'Firecrackers'!"
"Follow me and charge out!"
At Zhang Fan's command, he was the first to break down the gate of the side courtyard.
"kill!!!"
Hundreds of soldiers with glowing red eyes!
They followed Zhang Fan and rushed into the chaotic crowd.
"boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Along the way, Zhang Fan's soldiers kept lighting their explosive packs and throwing them towards the most densely populated areas.
Explosions were heard one after another.
Flames and screams became the main theme of the night.
They weren't breaking out; they were committing massacre.
At this moment, we are more than 200 meters away from the battlefield!
Han Zhen, galloping wildly on his horse, looked at his army formation that had completely fallen apart!
Seeing the soldiers who were blown to pieces and scattered in all directions, his eyes instantly turned red!
He knew that the situation was hopeless!
The camp has been wrecked!
Our own soldiers began to kill and trample each other!
If this continues...
The probability of Zhang Fan escaping will greatly increase!
A ruthless glint rose from the depths of his heart!
He drew his sword and, addressing his equally panicked guards, issued a hysterical command:
"Pass on my order! Archers, prepare!"
"Anyone who retreats or flees will be killed without exception!"
"Fire arrows! Shoot them...including Zhang Fan, kill them all inside!!!"
