340: C340 An Empty City!

C340 An Empty City!

"Kill ~"

Zhou Meng roared, and the General of Shang Army who were waiting for his orders also roared.

In the quiet northern plain of Sishui City, the sounds of slaughter suddenly shook the heavens.

The sixty thousand soldiers of the merchant army roared in unison, shaking the world!

In the dark night, sixty thousand soldiers rode their horses.

At this moment, it was as if an earthquake had occurred, and the entire plains to the north of Sishui City began to shake.

"Where did all these merchants come from!"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Release the arrows."

"Release the arrows!"

"Ah …" "Ahhh!"

"…"

Above the walls of the Sishui City, the Xia Country soldiers were shocked.

In a panic, they raised their bows and arrows, shooting sharp arrows towards the merchant army that was dashing towards them from the darkness.

The rain of arrows was like locusts, shooting out from the dark night.

CHI CHI ~

Some of the soldiers of the Xia Country Army didn't have time to take advantage of the barrier and were hit by the arrows. They fell off the high walls.

Ahhh ~

Hualala ~

In the dark night, miserable screams could be heard.

The sound of Xia Country Army corpses falling into the water could be heard.

Blood flowed down from the city walls and into the moat, causing it to turn dark red in the night.

The smell of blood spread out in the darkness.

"Kill ~"

"Break through the city gate!"

"Kill the Pig of Xia Country!"

The sound of battle shook the sky as the Shang Country Cavalry with unstoppable force rushed to the front of the city gate.

One by one, the ladders that were prepared beforehand, crossed the moat and stood on top of the walls of the Sishui City.

The well-trained merchant army held long blades and shields in hand as they quickly climbed up.

The merchant army in front raised their shields and climbed up the city wall.

The merchant army at the back covered it with sharp arrows.

In front of the absolute advantage in numbers, the Xia Country Army on the city wall didn't even have the chance to show their heads. They could only retreat quickly under the orders of the city guard general.

Kill ~

In less than a quarter of an hour, the vanguard of the merchant army had climbed up the city wall.

They raised their large blades and began to fight with the Xia Country soldiers on the city walls.

The intense hand-to-hand combat began, but it soon ended.

The Xia Country Army was scared out of their wits.

They did not dare to fight against the fierce merchant army. Under the pursuit of the merchant army, they quickly ran down the city wall, mounted on their horses and escaped into the darkness.

They ran very fast, but there were still many people who didn't get on their horses in time. They were shot by arrows in the dark night and fell into pools of blood.

Watching the Xia Country Army fleeing into the dark night in panic, General of Shang Army who was rushing up the city wall laughed out loud.

"These Pig of Xia Country are really useless, before I even made my move, I was already scared out of my wits."

"Tonight, the Sishui City will be ours. Brothers, open the gate and welcome General Zhou into the city. Let our merchant army enter the city. Tonight, let's start a massacre! "

"Yes." "General!"

Rumble rumble rumble!

The north gate of Sishui City opened, and under the control of the merchant army, the suspension bridge over the moat slowly lowered.

The tens of thousands of business forces waiting outside the city rode on Gao Jun's large horses and charged into the Sishui City.

The leader of the merchant group, Zhou Meng, was dressed in blue commander's armor and was leading the way.

He was in high spirits, and on his rough face was an unprecedented smile.

"Military Advisor Dongfang is truly a clever and astute man. Tonight's Sishui City is ours. "

"All generals, listen up. According to this general's previous arrangements, attack the eastern, western, and southern gates of Sishui City. He'd taken down three gates with the fastest speed possible. Control Sishui City. "

"Tonight, we will kill the entire Xia Country Army!"

"Tonight, we slaughter the entire city!"

"Yes, General!"

Bringing with him a great army, Zhou Meng was in high spirits as he charged towards the direction of the Sishui City South Gate from the main road.

The sixty thousand strong army behind entered in a line, rode on horses, shouted out loud and charged towards every corner of Sishui City.

Every merchant army was incomparably excited.

They had already broken through the Sishui City before, but then they were taken away by the Shang Country Army, and now they took it back.

At this moment, in their eyes, this Sishui City was a beautiful woman who was completely naked, without any signs of resistance.

They would humiliate her again and again!

Some of the merchants were brought to their houses by a high-ranking officer.

They kicked open the doors of the houses one by one, hoping to hear a terrified scream before killing the "Pig of Xia Country" they viewed as a lowly creature.

However, within the house, there was no sound. It was completely silent.

"Strange, why is there no one in the house, where are the commoners of Xia Country?"

"General Qian, the Pig of Xia Country has disappeared."

"…"

Merchants on horseback came before the general to report the strange news to him.

Qian Sui didn't know what this meant. He shouted in a flustered and exasperated manner, "No one! Can't you find them? They must be hiding. today, this general will find these Pig of Xia Country s even if he has to dig three feet into the ground! "

He cursed and shouted until another sound rang out, causing him to be stunned.

"General Qian, your subordinate has found many kerosene and sulphur in many houses."

"..."

It was not only the General of Shang Army Qian Zui who noticed the abnormality, even Zhou Meng who was leading his group of officers and rushing in front noticed that something was wrong.

The city was too quiet.

It was abnormally quiet.

Since they destroyed the city, they had killed hundreds of enemies of the Xia Country who were fleeing in panic, but they did not see a single person within the city.

They galloped all the way back, but there was not even a cry of alarm in the city.

Even though the people of Sishui City had gone to sleep early and did not come out.

However, with such a loud commotion, he should have been woken up by now.

However, no.

No one spoke.

It was as if this was a dead city, an empty city.

No one!

"Stop!"

Zhou Meng was still at the main road in the northern region of Sishui City but he tightened his reins.

"Stop!" he shouted. The troops behind him and a high-ranking officer also tightened their reins and stopped.

"General Zhou, what's wrong?"

The leader behind him said to Zhou Meng.

Zhou Meng's face was cold, he did not answer, but instead pointed towards the houses on both sides of the road and ordered the generals beside him: "General Wei, bring our men over to the house and take a look. If there's anyone here, drag them out for this general! "

"Yes, General Zhou!"

General of Shang Army Wei Jin cupped his fist and immediately dismounted. He brought his subordinates and ran towards the houses on the two sides of the road.

They numbered in the hundreds and rushed to the side of the street, roughly breaking through the houses on both sides.

However, the people who surprised them were not in any of the rooms.1

Not only was there no one in the shops, the restaurant and even the private rooms.

Wei Jin quickly ran back.

His head was drenched in sweat as he reported to Zhou Meng with an unsightly expression, "General, there's no one inside the house. "Not a single person."

Hearing this, Zhou Meng trembled, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. He said: "Why is there no one here, where did the Xia Country army hide these civilians?"

"Advisor Dongfang, what's going on? Why is there no one in the city?"

Zhou Meng looked at Dongfang Yue.

His heart was in a bad state, and what made him even more uneasy was that Dongfang Yue's current expression was incomparably ugly.

Dongfang Yue seemed to have thought of something, his face pale white, his lips trembling as he said: "General Zhou, we … It should, it should have been a trap! "
