Chapter 140 The soldiers who caused the disturbance in the camp were traitors!
Han Zhen's insane order sent shivers down the spine of his adjutant!
"General, please reconsider!"
The lieutenant's face was pale, and his voice was trembling.
"Those...those are all our comrades-in-arms!"
"They were just temporarily terrified by sorcery!"
"Comrades?"
Han Zhen turned around abruptly, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at him, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace!
"The soldiers who caused the disturbance in the camp are rebels!"
"Anyone who undermines morale will be executed without mercy! This is military law!"
He grabbed the lieutenant by the collar, dragged him in front of him, and almost roared:
"Now! Either they die!"
"Either we all die with them! The choice is yours!"
"Execute military orders!!"
The lieutenant was intimidated by the insane killing intent emanating from Han Zhen, and his last bit of hesitation was completely shattered.
He closed his eyes, his face revealing endless pain and struggle.
finally.
It turned into a heavy sigh!
He knew that Han Zhen was right.
From a military perspective, this is currently the only safest way to stop the rout and surround and kill Zhang Fan.
But... but those were all living, breathing brothers!
The lieutenant raised his hand with difficulty and, in a trembling voice, gave the most painful order of his life:
"Archers...ready..."
The order has been issued.
A slight disturbance occurred in the archer phalanx that was waiting in formation at the rear.
They heard the general's orders, but they also saw the situation on the battlefield ahead.
Most of them are our own people!
They are comrades who drink and eat meat together, and patrol and train together on ordinary days!
"General! Those are our brothers!"
A sergeant in the front row couldn't help but turn around and shout, his face full of disbelief!
"Shut up!"
"I...I know..."
The lieutenant roared in anguish, but dared not look them in the eye.
Looking at those hesitant and reluctant faces, and at the slowly lowered bow and arrow.
Han Zhen's patience has finally run out!
"Clang!"
He suddenly drew his sword, spurred his horse and charged towards the squad leader, his eyes as cold as iron.
"Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Before he finished speaking, his sword had already slashed across the ground!
"Pfft!"
Fresh blood gushed out!
The sergeant's head, with an incredulous expression, flew into the sky.
It then fell heavily to the ground!
The headless corpse swayed and then collapsed with a thud.
Everyone was horrified by this bloody and brutal scene!
Han Zhen pointed the tip of his sword at the still convulsing corpse, his gaze sweeping across the faces of every archer.
His voice was angry, and he personally gave the order:
"Fire!! Arrows!!!"
This time, no one hesitated.
Fear overwhelmed the last shred of conscience.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
At the command, the archers, who were already prepared, released their bowstrings!
Thousands of arrows, no longer distinguishing any targets.
Like the scythe of death, it indiscriminately covered the entire chaotic battlefield!
"ah--!"
A fleeing soldier had only run a few steps when an arrow shot from behind pierced his chest.
He staggered to a stop and looked down at the blood-stained arrowhead.
He then turned around with difficulty and looked at the army formation that belonged to him behind him.
There was no fear or pain in his eyes!
It is an extremely absurd sense of betrayal!
"Why...why?"
He muttered to himself, two lines of bloody tears sliding down his cheeks.
Immediately, more arrows rained down on him.
"Han Zhen! You're not human!!"
"You butcher!!"
Another soldier, who had been shot down, roared angrily!
He looked at the sky and burst into tears!
He cried because he died without knowing why, and because he died at the hands of his own people!
Meanwhile, Zhang Fan's side, which was charging forward, also suffered a devastating blow in an instant!
"Raise your shields!"
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Despite the soldiers' desperate resistance!
But against this overwhelming rain of arrows, simple shields and flesh and blood were of no use whatsoever!
Soldiers kept falling to the ground, wounded by arrows, letting out muffled groans!
The encirclement, which had just been torn open by the "heavenly thunder," was instantly sealed off again by this merciless rain of arrows!
Zhang Fan brandished the Ding Qin Sword, frantically parrying the arrows.
He frantically looked around, his mind racing, trying to find a way out of this deadly wasteland!
……
at the same time.
Command Center of Bureau 749
When the image on the big screen is played clearly.
The entire command hall fell into a moment of deathly silence.
Then, a torrent of anger erupted!
"What is he doing?!"
A young data analyst suddenly stood up from his seat.
Pointing at the screen in disbelief, his voice trembled!
"He was shooting his own...his own men?"
"Bang!"
Beside him was a retired veteran in charge of logistical support.
He slammed his fist hard on the control panel, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot!
"A madman! This Han Zhen is a complete and utter madman!!"
"brute!!"
"This is no longer a war! This is a massacre!"
"A butcher who even kills his own people!"
"In order to surround and kill Zhang Fan, he actually used his own soldiers as expendable resources!"
Angered shouts, roars, and the dull thuds of fists slamming on the table rose and fell in waves!
These staff members had seen countless brutal accounts in historical documents.
They've also simulated all sorts of ruthless tactics!
But when an ancient general, right in front of them, unhesitatingly turned his sword against his own men.
That kind of anger and disgust that transcends time and space still instantly ignited everyone's rationality!
The veins on the back of Zhu Feng's hand bulged.
He looked at the screen at the county soldiers who were fleeing but were shot down by their own arrows!
His teeth were grinding together.
"Han...Zhen..."
He squeezed out those two words through gritted teeth.
"Quiet down, everyone!!"
Zhu Feng suddenly turned around, and a roar silenced all the noise!
"Stop your anger!"
"The most important task now is to keep Comrade Zhang Fan alive!!"
Everyone was startled and immediately forced themselves to calm down.
Their eyes were bloodshot as they stared intently at the screen, placing all their hope and anger on the figure fighting bravely amidst the rain of arrows!
"Director Zhu!"
A bespectacled, white-haired strategic military expert's fingers flew across a huge touchscreen sand table.
in front of you.
Every street and every building in Changzi County is clearly presented in the form of a 3D model.
"The enemy commander has abandoned conventional tactics and adopted an indiscriminate saturation attack!"
"Zhang Fan's team is trapped in a dead end of overwhelming firepower!"
"Calculated based on wind speed and launch angle!"
"The next volley of arrows will result in even greater casualties!"
"Their safety window is less than thirty seconds!"
"We must evacuate immediately! This is our only chance to survive!"
The expert suddenly pointed to a narrow alleyway on the model!
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Feng grabbed the communicator and shouted into the microphone at top speed:
"Comrade Zhang Fan! Follow my orders!"
"To the left front, at the seven o'clock direction, that side street!"
"Take your men and retreat immediately! Engage in a war of attrition!"
"Our designated demolition points, number two and three, are located along that route!"
"The explosives you planted are finally going to come in handy!"
