Chapter 718: The Battle Has Begun

Looking through the military binoculars, Feng Xiyan quickly spotted the commander. Frowning slightly, he thought, ’Isn’t that the fifth-ranked general under Wen Kang? He is the new Great General?’Feng Xiyan handed him the military binoculars and replied, "See for yourself."

Xue Ruhong noticed the change in his expression and took the military binoculars from him. Looking toward the approaching army, he, too, frowned when he saw the familiar face.

Hearing this, Tan Pengtai couldn’t suppress his curiosity anymore. "General Xue, who is he? Why are all three of you reacting the same way?"

At his words, Tan Pengtai froze for a second before exclaiming, "No way! Wen Kang can’t be that stupid... right?"

"...." Alright... Wen Kang really is that stupid.

Coming back to his senses, Tan Pengtai turned to Feng Xiyan and asked, "Great General, will you still personally lead the battle?"

At his words, Tan Pengtai’s face paled. He quickly clasped his fists, lowered his head, and said, "This subordinate is at fault. Great General, please punish me."

"Thank you, Great General, for your guidance." Tan Pengtai secretly let out a sigh of relief and wiped his damp palms on his pants.

Seeing this, Tan Pengtai could only respond with a helpless grimace.

Spotting Feng Xiyan and his generals standing on top of the city wall, Ku Shu licked his lips and urged his warhorse forward. Behind him, the two hundred thousand troops struggled to keep up.

Looking at the disordered formation below, Feng Xiyan’s eyes dimmed slightly. His grip tightened around the hilt of his blue sword as he frowned deeply.

Below, Ku Shu pointed at Feng Xiyan and shouted, "Feng Xiyan! The new Emperor has decreed that you surrender and return to the imperial capital city as soon as possible! If you do, you will be granted the title of a second-ranked prince and a fiefdom in the north!"

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

After a brief pause, Ku Shu raised his voice again. "If you refuse to surrender, this general will flatten Xiqiang City! You have the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to decide!"

Because Ku Shu had rushed his march, the troops were stretched into a long line, with some units lagging far behind while others had already gathered at the front.

Fan Wanming clasped his fists and responded, "This subordinate accepts the order!"

The generals’ and vice-generals’ eyes lit up at his words. "Yes, General Fan!"

The soldiers quickly removed the massive wooden bar and pushed open the heavy gates.

As soon as the city gate was fully opened, Fan Wanming raised his spear and ordered, "Move out!"

Once they exited the city, the Gate Captain immediately ordered, "Close the gate!"

In no time, the city gate slammed shut behind Fan Wanming and his troops.

Watching the approaching cavalry in shiny black armor, Ku Shu sneered. "Overestimating themselves."

"This subordinate accepts the order!" Without hesitation, the general led five thousand cavalry forward to intercept Fan Wanming.
