Chapter 47: Light of life

*something flying up in the air*

*BOOOOOOOM*

Hao Jiazhi saw a flash of light as he was hearing the report from his soldiers.

The flash of light was created from a firecracker- rocket, which flashed the light so big that it was easily seen even from the border of the province

"After catching all the enemy soldiers, bring them to the military base for further investigation. Also, give a signal to all soldiers that this province will now be under military command for some time and also announce curfew" Hao Jiazhi said, and then on a horse, he left the place towards the border

The soldier heard his words and one of them took out a rocket cracker and the light it up.

*BOOOOM*

Another flash in the sky but this time it was different as just after a few seconds of this flash, there was another flash in various other districts from another soldier

This signal is to tell that all the power will now be under military and curfew is announced

Everyone is to stay in

Soon, bells around the whole province were ringed to make all those people who are still sleeping in this scene know, what shit is going on

And in the blink of an eye, the whole province is now under military rule, and the Governor has no power

This law was created by Hao Jiazhi for any emergency situation to keep the damage as low as possible and only locals know this rule

The reason why no everyone knows this rule is to make sure that the enemy doesn't know about their strategy for emergency

At border-

"What is the situation?" Hao Jiazhi asked as he reaches the border and enters a barrack

"Colonel, thank god you are back… The situation is really worst right now" Dai Feng said as he leaves his seat for Hao Jiazhi

Hao Jiazhi sits on his seat and started hearing the situation

Dai Feng told him that there are around 10,000 enemy soldiers outside right now, who are giving their best to break through the gate

Thanks to the unit trained by him, the "Dawn" unit is doing good in holding the gate with everything they have while killing each soldier that tried to come closer

Right now the whole Dawn unit is at the gate side

The enemy soldiers were always there but thanks to the darkness and this plain field, nothing was visible thus the enemy came closer before they could sense them

Still, things have not crossed the line

"I have already sent someone to the capital to send some re-enforcement but the time it will take won't be enough," Dai Feng said in a worried tone

"They haven't taken those 2 mountains yet, right?" Hao Jiazhi asked about the 2 mountains that are around them, one at each side of the border

"No, so far there had been no attack from the mountainside. If there had been an attack, we would be long dead. Also, the mountains come behind our border so they can't climb the mountain without being sensed

So, there is no chance there are enemy over there" Dai Feng gave a detailed reply

"Great, situation is not that bad as I guessed it would be when I came here" Hao Jiazhi said to his team, which made all of them confused

He started explaining things "Send 100 unit towards the gate side with as many arrows possible and tell them to keep shooting nonstop as I will be preparing for the big attack"

Dai Feng nodded and then gave out his command to platoon chiefs beside him

"Dai Feng, take one man that you think is capable and with him, take 200 soldiers from here and divide into 2 groups

1 will go towards the right side mountain and the other one will go towards the left mountain

Also, make sure that at least 50 soldiers in each group are good at archery. When you reach the mountains, don't attack just wait for a big attack and then launch an attack. Also, make sure to not get noticed by the enemy" Hao Jiazhi said to him

He started giving out orders one after another and first time Dai Feng realized the reason why administrator Zheng Zhen says that his skill is mediocre as compared to the true boss of the gang

Even soldiers were shocked seeing Hao Jiazhi all calmed in this situation and giving out orders

But in this whole planning, there are things Dai Feng didn't understand and the same questions had everyone around him confused

So he asked about the big attack and also asked him the reason why he is sending so many units out from the border as it will make the bordering week and the only amount of soldier remaining to protect the border will be around 150 or so

Which looks pure suicidal

(I think I made some mistake here...)

"The big attack will be the place where all enemy soldiers are. I am going to turn it into the field of fire and the reason why I am emptying the border is that I know my unit can handle stuff

All I need is some time, that's it. The moment you reach the top of the mountain, give me a signal

Now, all of you gooooo!!!!" Hao Jiazhi gave out his command and sent his soldier out

Right now the person who is under the most pressure is Dai Feng as he has to carry 200 units from here to the top of the mountain which could lead to some good amount of time in minutes or hours

Something he can waste as 100 soldiers are not enough to hold the gate/border

But Dai Feng don't know that the signal that was sent by Hao Jiazhi to make the whole province under military rule had one secret meaning

And this is to order all soldier around the place to leave half of their unit behind and come here right now

"20 Soldiers from Dawn Unit, come here!!! And guard the wall with other soldiers" Hao Jaizhi said to his unit

The soldier heard his words and did what they were told

On the battlefield, around 20 people were holding a big wooden log and smashing it on the door/gate of the border

As for the other thousands of soldiers, they were all putting up a shield to protect each other, especially archers

There are around 80 soldiers holding the gate

50, just behind the gate literally pushing the gate and making sure it doesn't open while putting some heavy object in front of the gate

As for the other 30, they are above the gate and shooting arrows at those people who are holding the log and trying their best to slow them

Time is passing by and Hao Jiazhi has made up his preparation, now all he has to do is just waiting for Dai Feng and other unit's signal

10minute passed by-

*bang*

"COLONEL!!!, We can't hold anymore!!!!" The soldier screamed as they kept on holding the gate and pushing it with everything they have

The gate has cracked from the various place and an enemy soldier have long started stabbing their sword from those places

Just one more or another attack, and it's done

At the top of a border wall, many soldiers have died a long time back and the only people still standing right now is his dawn unit

Only 20 people, right now holding the whole border from the enemy attack

One after another they keep on cutting ropes and ladders put by the enemy

There are various arrows on their body and they are bleeding right now, but thanks to their tough armor they can still fight for a while

At the enemy side-

"One more attack and we will be in!!!!!!!"

"ATTAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!"

The enemy is screaming to get in….

*booom*

Suddenly a noise came and a light appeared in the sky….

"The hell was that?" The enemy soldier asked

*smash*

Again, they heard something smashing and then water like substance started falling on them

One of them smelled this liquid

"Oil?" he said

And then… it appeared

"Dragon…."

Chapter 48: A letter to my friend

If you are thinking about how fast did Dai Feng and the other groups climbed the mountain then let me tell you that the mountains are not that big.

After all, they are in plains, not in mountains. So 10minutes were more than enough, especially considering the fact that their life is on the line

Present time-

Hai Jiazhi collected all the clothes he could find and tied them together

Then, he dipped those clothes into a barrel which had oil in it and put it in front of a fire

He made sure that the oil gets warm and reaches a point where it will turn into smoke but didn't let it turn into smoke as it would be dangerous

He had other barrels also that were full of oil and now they all are warm to a point of his need

What happens when oil turns into smoke or to a point where it is about to turn into smoke?

Boom, it catches fire

And that is what Hao Jiazhi is planning right now

As for how he got so many oil barrels, it's all thanks to those enemy soldiers that had infiltrated his land

Don't forget, Hao Jiazhi can sense peoples stare no matter how far they are, thus Hao Jiazhi knew that something worst is going to come

So he had long stocked the oil and various amount of arrows for his soldiers to make sure that they could kill an enemy with little damage and manpower

And now that he got the signal, all he had to do was some strong people

"Zi Jun, hold this spear and throw it as far as possible" Hao Jiazhi said as he gave him (Zi Jun) a spear that has something attached to it

A long piece of cloths

That oil barrel and now this spear with cloth, Zi Jun understood what his Colonel is doing

So, he holds the spear with his full strength and took a deep breath

*WHOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!*

And then he throws the spear as far as possible

Same with Hao Jiazhi and other soldiers of Dawn Unit, as the soldiers from the district have long arrived

"Burn them" Hao Jiazhi gave the command to his soldiers

And the last few stocks of arrows were now used

But those arrows were not used as a normal one, as the front of the entire arrow were wrapped in clothes and were burnt

*whoosh*

One after another arrows were launched and soon, the whole spear with clothes started burning up in the sky

Making a look of various dragon flying in the sky

"RUN!!!!" An enemy soldier screamed as he knew what is coming, but it was too late

*WHOOOOSH*

And in the blink, the fire spread from one person to another

"AHHHHHH!!!!"

All soldiers screamed and tried to run here and there, but from the top of the mountains came more new arrows and pierced the chest of the burning enemy body

And soldiers also came down to kill those who got away

The whole battlefield turned into a field of flames

Next day-

"What happened after I fall unconscious?" Hao Tai asked Bai Hong who had stayed by her side since last night

"I don't know as I have stayed by your side since last night" Bai Hong replied

Hao Tai nodded and told her to go back to her duties as she is a soldier. Staying by her side means she is leaving her job that could result in some bad remarks

Hao Tai felt a pain inside her head and then she remembered last night scene, especially the change in her little brother

"Little brother?... Is he ok?" Hao Tai asked her

"Colonel is alright now and it seems that the situation is also calm" Bai Hong replied

Hao Tai nodded and asked her to take her to the border camp

After some time, both of them were about to leave the mansion but suddenly, a soldier came and stopped them

"Sorry, Princess Hao Tai,

Right now the whole province is under military rule and a curfew is going on.

So till further commands don't come

No one is allowed to leave the place. Hope you could understand" the soldier told her

Bai Hong didn't agree with the soldier's word and disagreed but Hao Tai nodded and understood his words

She turned her wheelchair and was about to leave Bai Hong but the soldier stopped her and gave her something

"What is this scroll about?" Bai Hong asked

"Platoon Chief of Archer Unit, Bai Hong

you are dismissed from your position and now, you are no longer allowed to take any military role. Now you are just a civilian" the soldier told her

"Whaa….t?" Bai Hong asked

"All the reasons are personally written by Colonel in that scroll," The soldier said and left the place

Bai Hong is still confused right now as she doesn't know for what reason she lost her job

(she is really stupid right?)

Other side-

The soldier that has reached the imperial palace told the emperor and other ministers about the situation in Province Kuwon but it seems like the ministers and the emperor is in no mood to help

As they are thinking to ask help from some other superpower or big kingdom, as they have zero power to face a big kingdom like Liaohua Kingdom (the one that attacked)

But before they send any help to the other big kingdom, another soldier came and told that the war is over and they have won

Making every single minister and his brothers all shocked to their core

And so, words spread through-out the kingdom and other kingdom and soon the minister decided to call Hao Jiazhi to the capital and reward him for his merit

After all, the whole population of Tengyuan Kingdom is calling his name

On the other side-

Hao Jiazhi has taken out the information from ex-general Yao Tu and lieutenant general about the attack and the kingdom behind this whole thing

And as everyone knew, it is the Liaohua Kingdom

But even though he knows which kingdom is the one behind the attack; will it be enough to face them?

The big kingdoms are surely not gonna meddle in some small deal as to them, protecting a small province for some food is…. you know…

It's not worth it

Now the only thing Hao Jiazhi is left with is to write a letter to his friend abroad

The Dongping Kingdom-

Right now at Qinjiang Province, the capital city of the kingdom

Governor's office-

"Things are really not looking good" Lu Long said as he is looking at some reports

His attendant Xu Yijun nodded and said "yes, this poison is really dangerous and more than 1000 people have already died

If things will keep on going, your position will come in danger"

Lu Long nodded but he didn't say anything

A voice came and a servant enters the room of Lu Long and handed him a letter

Lu Long took the letter and gave a smile as he saw the name of the sender

"So, finally my wait is over huh…" Lu Long said and then read the letter

*Wide smile*
