Chapter 915 - 813: He’s just a young brat wet behind the ears (Thanks to Dongdong’s Mom - dE for the extra update with the monthly ticket)
Thinking it over, the Xiling soldiers found it utterly impossible.Just imagine, how noble is the Korean emperor’s child?
How could he possibly be on the frontline personally?
But if this person is not the Korean emperor’s child, then what was the reason for the cries of "Long live" just now?
"Ah... splat..."
The ones speculating about Ji Youyuan’s identity were not just the small soldiers within the Xiling army!
Even Hertz, who was in a duel with Ji Youze, was also speculating, and got distracted.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Ji Youze seized the opportunity and stabbed him in the clavicle, knocking him off his horse.
"General!"
The Xiling soldiers exclaimed in shock, utterly unable to believe the result of this duel. Their Grand General had clearly been holding the upper hand just now!
How could he suddenly be knocked off his horse by a single thrust from the opponent?
Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"You’ve lost!"
Ji Youzhi’s spear pointed directly at Hertz, his voice calm and indifferent.
"Were you pretending to be weak all along?"
Hertz spat out a mouthful of blood, pressing hard on his clavicle, where blood was now gushing.
"If you don’t bandage the wound quickly, you’ll bleed out and die today."
"You... you truly are worthy of being Ji the War God’s son; your martial arts and strategy are exceptional, but why have I never heard of your name?"
Never heard of his name?
Ji Youze frowned and asked, "Whose names have you heard?"
"Among the Great Han’s warriors, aside from some old bones barely holding on, I’ve heard there’s no remarkable young talent except for one named Dugu Xiao."
"So you used a scheme to lure Dugu Xiao away, and the situation in Yunhang County was a feint. Your real target was the Xiling army!"
Ji Youze spoke lightly, staring unblinkingly at Hertz.
Upon hearing this, Hertz involuntarily opened his mouth, feeling that this eighth son was truly terrifying, hitting the nail on the head with his words.
"Indeed! Our plan was just as you said. With Dugu Xiao lured away, the few old bones of the Great Han wouldn’t be able to reach Xianyu Pass quickly, and I would advance straight to the capital of the Great Han.
But unexpectedly, after capturing three cities, I was stopped at Xianyu Pass.
Apparently, attacking this Xianyu Pass wasn’t difficult, but for some reason, I couldn’t take it despite prolonged attacks. Always feeling that the mechanisms and hidden weapons on Xianyu Pass’s walls shouldn’t be that formidable, but in fact, they were several degrees stronger than we imagined!
Thus, Xianyu Pass became impossible for me to conquer.
I never figured this out until this moment. Now I think I understand—it was all because of you, because of your existence. You were the one orchestrating the troops behind the scenes, right?"
What Hertz said was shocking to hear.
This young man in front of them looked quite young, and until now, they hadn’t heard of his great name or known of his talent in commanding troops!
But now, this veteran warlord Hertz gave him such high praise!
"General! Could you be mistaken? He just looks like a wet-behind-the-ears kid, how could he know how to lead troops and fight in a war?"
Among the Xiling soldiers, there were many worried about Hertz’s injuries. Some even rushed by his side to support him, refuting his words.
"Wet-behind-the-ears? Hahaha! If he truly was just a wet-behind-the-ears brat, how could I have been hit by his spear?"
