Forensic Imperial Concubine novel Chapter 920

The originally clean ground was wet by the oil and became slippery. The soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom couldn't stand steadily at all and all fell down. The attacking ram also lost its balance and hit the city wall directly. Everything under the city gate was in a mess.

"Oh, no! General, tell them to retreat quickly!" The counsellor could tell something was wrong when he saw the soldiers of Bright Dynasty were pouring something down. He knew that the object was absolutely not a good thing when he saw that the soldiers fell and piled on the ground one by one.

"Retreat!"

But the order was too late. When the bonfire finally fell from the city and landed on the ground, a large fire burst out. The wood oil could easily burn, so all the soldiers who tried to attack the city were set into fire. The soldiers' screech drowned the fighting sound of the battle field.

The remaining soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom wanted to put out the fire and save the soldiers on fire, but at the same time, the soldiers at the tower began to shoot intense feathery arrows. They couldn't get close to those on fire at all. As a result, they could only watch them being burned to death.

The air on the battlefield was reeking with the nasty smell of burnt meat, which made people feel sick. Shawn controlled his disgust. It seemed that not only he was in a bad mood, so was Zack. Otherwise, he would not repel the enemies in such an extreme way as soon as he arrived here.

Benjamin Wu' face paled. Firstly, the Bright Dynasty had used the explosives to blow up their soldiers, which had made them cry for mercy. Now, he had burned their soldiers to death with the oil. His eyes turned red and ferocious!

"Shawn, I swear I will cut you into pieces!" Benjamin Wu roared angrily.

Standing on the tower, Shawn looked calm and said coldly, "I'll wait; if you have the ability, come here."

"I..."

"General, the most important thing is to retreat," the counsellor persuaded at once. He knew how insidious and cunning these people of the Bright Dynasty were. There must be many traps waiting for them. They couldn't act rashly, lest they would fall into the trap of the enemies again.

Even though Benjamin Wu didn't want to admit defeat, he had no choice but to ask his soldiers to retreat in a short time. He had thought that the Dragon Pass would be under his control soon. Yet, he didn't expect that Shawn became so aggressive that he used such a despicable means to repel them.

"Retreat!" The soldiers of the Great Jade Kingdom retreated like tide. Shawn looked at them indifferently and turned to go downstairs. Since Zack had arrived, he should go to see him and have a good talk with his old friend.

In the general's house, Zack sat at the guest seat and sipped his tea gracefully, as if he had already guessed the result. When he saw Shawn, he greeted with a smile, "You are back."

"It's out of my expectation that His Majesty and Grand Secretary Franklin would have sent you here," Shawn said as he handed his sword to his deputy general and took off his helmet. "How was your trip? Was it smooth?"
