Chapter 26
Explosion
“Charge! Brothers, let’s go first!” Zhao Pengfei was the first to respond to his father’s call.
The young men from Zhao farmyard took out their weapons and rushed towards the soldiers.
They had been fighting bandits for a long time and had developed some martial arts skills.
They swarmed forward and killed several soldiers before they could react.
Seeing that the young men from Zhao farmyard were so brave and fearless, the refugees’ eyes lit up and they no longer cowered. Since one person could not kill a small soldier, they would attack together.
As long as they killed these beasts and obtained those rations, they would be able to live.
All of a sudden, the situation changed from a one-sided suppression to a situation where the refugees were launching mass attacks at the soldiers.
When Princess Qingping and the Consort saw this, their eyes widened in disbelief.
The refugees actually dared to resist!
Who gave them the guts!
Soon, Deputy Commander He’s troops were drowned in the crowd of refugees.
Consort Ping said in panic, “They’re rebelling! What are you waiting for? Go and kill all these lowly commoners!”
Deputy Commander He had already been killed. The soldiers were stunned for a moment before charging forward.

The battle scene was abnormally terrifying. Princess Qingping held her mother’s hand in fear and asked nervously, “They can definitely kill these refugees, right?”
Consort Ping’s lips trembled. She forced herself to calm down and said, “We have so many soldiers. They’re all unarmed refugees. Nothing can happen to us.”
Princess Qingping was still a little afraid. She said to Consort Ping, “Let’s go back to the carriage now!” Then she suddenly thought of something and said to her servant, “Hurry up and call Commander Luo over to protect us. Tell him that he has been reinstated to his original position!”
The servant hurriedly ran over and said to Commander Luo, who had been stripped of his military title, “Commander Luo, Princess Qingping said that you have been reinstated to your original position and asked you to protect them immediately.”
Commander Luo looked at the battle on the other side and did not move for a long time. Suddenly, he sneered. “Go tell your Princess Qingping that I’m already a lowly commoner!” He finally understood that if he followed such a Master, even if Duke Ping would become the emperor, he would be the one to destroy the country.
The servant was shocked. “Commander Luo, don’t let your emotions affect your decisions. If you succeed in protecting the royal family, once you enter the Imperial City, you’ll be a top-notch hero. Master will definitely think highly of you.”
Commander Luo steeled himself. “Think highly of me? It’s lucky if they don’t treat me like a dog!” He picked up his sword and walked straight out of the group.
He would rush back to Liyang now and bring all his family members to Ling Kingdom!
His former brothers looked around and met Commander Luo’s sharp gaze. No one dared to stop him.
The servant also did not dare to do so and hurriedly ran back to report.
Princess Qingping widened her eyes and said angrily, “How dare he disobey my orders!”
The servant trembled and did not even dare to breathe loudly, especially when she heard the world-shattering battle outside. Her heart was about to jump out.
“I want Father to annihilate all nine generations of his family!” Princess Qingping gritted her teeth as the fear in her heart grew.
She lifted the curtain and looked out. Seeing the chaos, she began to regret it. If she had known, she would have set off earlier. She would definitely not reach the rest station that night.
When Bai Wutong saw more soldiers surging towards the refugees, she felt even more uneasy.
Most of the people here were unarmed refugees, and many of them were women and children. However, the other party had thousands of elite soldiers. If they were to go all out, these refugees would definitely be killed in no time.
It was impossible for the villagers of Zhao’s farmyard to escape.
Zhao Pengfei and his men protected the mule cart. Everyone looked like they were ready to die.
Madam Yang was afraid but she even comforted her. “The God will definitely protect those who are meant to be, it will definitely be fine.”
No matter what Village Chief Zhao’s initial goal was, it was still impressive that they were willing to step forward at a critical moment.
Even though she knew that this was not the best choice for her, Bai Wutong still lowered her eyes and reached into the space to feel for a Power Bomb.
In any case, the Yan Kingdom would be destroyed sooner or later. If she helped Ling Kingdom destroy a few nobles, she should be able to receive a reward after she reached!
Seeing that the soldiers were getting closer and closer, Lin Yue hugged Stinky and said anxiously, “Madam Bai, shall we leave now?”
Bai Wutong calculated the distance. “Wait a little longer.” She seemed to have made her calculations in her mind.
Lin Yue thought to himself, ‘What are we waiting for? If we don’t break out now, it will be even harder to fight later.’
His rational mind told him to carry the Young Master and leave quickly. Seeing Chu Tianbao guarding Bai Wutong, he did not move for a long time.
Just as the battle between the two sides was about to start, Bai Wutong was about to throw the Power Bomb.
Suddenly someone shouted.
“Put out the fire! Quickly put out the fire! The rations are on fire!”
When Consort Ping heard the anxious cries, she leaned out of the window to look and saw a group of masked black-clothed people killing as they quickly approached their carriage.
Consort Ping’s expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly shouted, “Assassins! Protect the carriage! Protect the carriage! Quickly call everyone back to protect the carriage!”
Upon hearing the word ‘assassin’, Princess Qingping, who had been arrogant and domineering just a moment ago, immediately turned into a trembling little sheep.
The food cart suddenly caught fire. The elite soldiers suddenly stopped in their tracks and hurriedly changed directions to save it.
Bai Wutong stood on the mule cart and looked out. She saw a group of black-clothed people appear out of nowhere and kill the subordinates brought by Consort Ping as though they were cutting melons. By the time the elite soldiers rushed back, Consort Ping and Princess Qingping had already been knocked unconscious and carried on their shoulders to retreat.
The moment the soldiers rushed forward, there were a few shocking explosions.
Everyone was so frightened that they hugged their heads and squatted on the ground.
Bai Wutong was used to such powerful artillery. She watched as all the food carts that Duke Ping wanted to transport to the Imperial City being blown up one after another. Countless soldiers were killed or injured, and the remaining people chased after the people who had kidnapped Consort Ping and Princess Qingping.
When everyone reacted from the shock and carefully looked up.
The group that had been so domineering and unrelenting had already collapsed.
The bodies of the soldiers were everywhere. Some of them had been blown into mud, some were struggling to survive, and some kept crying out.
The surviving attendants could not catch up to the soldiers at all, nor could they fight against such a large group of refugees.
They subconsciously ran, feeling the wind under their feet. They wished they could grow a pair of wings.
The refugees recovered from their shock, followed by ecstasy.
Although all the food carts had been blown up, the food that had been blown up still tasted better than mud. If they first snatched it, they might be able to find a few royal treasures.
The refugees rushed over and frantically searched for the food and horse meat that had been burnt on the ground. Some of them even packed them up into their bags while eating.
Village Chief Zhao, on the other hand, requested that the villagers take half a step away to prevent anyone from finding an opportunity to rob them in the chaos.
When Bai Wutong saw that the crisis was over, she heaved a sigh of relief. After all, her Power Bomb was even stronger than the combined power of the ancient cannons.
With one drop, the entire army would be wiped out. If someone investigated it, it would be troublesome.
