Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 162

The soldiers of the Chi Rong Army shouted in unison, "Cowards! Cowards!!"

Huo Jun asked Wang Yong and the other three men, "Which one of you dares to step up and fight?"

The three men, apart from Wang Yong, took a step back. Although they hadn't witnessed the miserable state of Yuan Deyi and his men from yesterday, their eyes could tell.

Simply judging from their physique, they had no chance of winning.

Moreover, their base was far from the border, and they had nothing to do all year round.

They relied on their status as military officers and indulged in luxury and extravagance, lacking the ability to engage in battle.

Should they not retreat and wait to meet their deaths?

Wang Yong disdainfully snorted, "The three of you cowards might as well hide under the skirts of the brothel's prostitutes. How dare you show your faces here!"

The three men were rendered speechless by his retort, but being embarrassed was better than losing their lives.

Qin Zhao said, "So, Wang Captain, are you willing to go?"

Wang Yong glanced in the direction of Tu Ge, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed and replied, "Of course, that person looks stronger, there's nothing to fear!"

"Very well, you may go down.

If you can defeat Tu Ge, I will reward you generously."

Wang Yong took a few steps back and said, "This doesn't seem fair. Shouldn't General Huo be the one to go?"

Huo Jun stood beside Qin Zhao and spoke, "Opportunities like this are rare, and I want you all to gain some experience.

Since you are all under my command, you must possess the corresponding strength."

Wang Yong made excuses, "My arm feels a bit sore. Let them go first, I'll go later."

A man with a full face of flesh retorted, "Weren't you so confident just now? Why are you scared now?!"

"It's not that I'm scared, I just have a problem with my hand and need time to recover."

The other two also joined the argument with Wang Yong, and none of them wanted to go.

"That's enough."

Qin Zhao told them to shut up and decisively said, "Wang Yong goes first, and the three of you will follow in order of height, from short to tall."

Huo Jun added, "You don't need to compete to go first or last, in the end, all of you will have to go."

Qin Zhao finally understood why Huo Jun had brought these four men here.

It was to use them as cannon fodder!

The officers who had witnessed the battle yesterday didn't show up on the city wall today.

It seemed that after witnessing the fate of Lin Kui and the others, they didn't dare to appear.

Huo Jun had specifically called back the commander of Yunzhong City, a man notorious for being lazy and causing trouble.

This way, she could eliminate the worms in the army and make them serve her plan, killing two birds with one stone!

Qin Zhao looked at Huo Jun and the more he looked, the more he admired her!

Upon hearing Qin Zhao and Huo Jun's words, the faces of the four men immediately twisted in disgust.

Wang Yong had refused multiple times but was eventually pushed out.

He dragged his heavy sword, weighing over ten kilograms, out of the city gate, leaving long marks on the ground.

This grand entrance had an imposing presence, but as soon as he made his first move towards Tu Ge, his true colors were revealed.

Wang Yong's right wrist fractured under the weight of the heavy sword, and he couldn't even block Tu Ge's strike, resulting in his death!

Subsequently, the other three men were forced to step onto the stage one by one, but all met their demise under Tu Ge's hammer!

The Chi Rong Army's momentum soared.

Tu Ge pointed at Huo Jun, his arrogance overflowing, "My iron hammer can't wait to smash your head!"

The soldiers on the city wall urged Huo Jun to descend quickly, their voices overlapping.

However, just like the day before, Huo Jun postponed Tu Ge's challenge to tomorrow.

Tu Ge's patience had clearly run out, and he began to go mad, cursing and shouting!

"You bastard, come down! I'm going to kill you!"

Huo Jun ignored his outbursts and descended the stairs, despite the skeptical gazes of the soldiers.

...

The next day, just past noon, Tu Ge led ten thousand Chi Rong soldiers, roaring beneath the city walls.

Qin Zhao ascended the city walls.

With Qin Zhao's permission, the Northwestern Army also gathered nearly a thousand soldiers to observe the battle from the tower.

This time, before Tu Ge could speak, Huo Jun appeared before him!

Tu Ge pointed at Huo Jun's mask and said, "You! Take off the mask! I must know what the person who dies by my hammer looks like!"

Huo Jun replied, "Rest assured, I won't break your principle."

Tu Ge, with his limited intelligence, failed to understand the implied meaning behind Huo Jun's words and stubbornly insisted on seeing Huo Jun's true face.

Huo Jun refused, leaving Tu Ge frustrated and stomping his feet.

"I'm infuriated! You're driving me crazy! Why are you so stubborn?!

Listen to me, and I might spare your intact corpse.

But with your behavior, I'll have to turn you into minced meat and feed it to the dogs!"

Huo Jun drew his long sword and said, "Your dog won't have that privilege. At best, it can have a taste, just like your rough flesh."

Tu Ge was enraged and approached Huo Jun with a large iron hammer!

Stopping two meters away from Huo Jun, he declared, "You're as good as dead, kid!"

He raised the hammer high, ready to strike Huo Jun's head, but Huo Jun easily evaded.

Seizing the opportunity while Tu Ge gathered strength again, Huo Jun swung his sword and cut his arm!

However, Tu Ge seemed impervious to pain and continued his actions unaffected.

With lightning speed, Tu Ge swung the hammer at Huo Jun, who could only block it with his horizontal sword!

The intense clash of metal made everyone present cringe at the piercing sound and sent their hearts racing!

Qin Zhao noticed that Huo Jun's movements became noticeably slower after blocking the hammer blow.

If it weren't for her agility, she would have been struck long ago!

Although Huo Jun had demonstrated impressive combat skills in front of Qin Zhao, her lack of actual combat experience was clearly her weakness.

Qin Zhao felt worried for her.

Huo Jun felt the pain in her hand and tightened her grip on the sword hilt!

Tu Ge mocked, "No wonder you waited until today to come down. It turns out your skills are lacking!

Do you have any last words that I should deliver to your family? Speak now.

I'll make sure to deliver them once I conquer Yue Country!

Hahaha!"

The Chi Rong Army's momentum erupted like a volcano at his words, surging fiercely.

On the other hand, the Northwestern Army's morale weakened.

They even harbored dissatisfaction toward Huo Jun, who not only caused the death of their previous commander but also found herself at a disadvantage in the battle against Tu Ge.

Some even hoped for her death, so that someone else would have the chance to replace her!

However, in the next second, the situation took a turn.

Huo Jun pointed at Tu Ge's right arm and said, "Try moving it."

Tu Ge was confused and instinctively tried to lift his arm, only to find that his right arm had lost all sensation and couldn't move at all!

Huo Jun's sword cut wasn't particularly deep, but due to Tu Ge's sudden exertion of force, the muscles around the wound burst open, losing their ability to contract and relax.

Huo Jun deliberately exposed a vulnerability, baiting Tu Ge into using all his strength, which resulted in his right arm being paralyzed!

Tu Ge stared in terror, shouting, "You dare to use underhanded tactics, I'll take your life..."

Before he could finish shouting, a cold glint flashed by!

Tu Ge's head fell to the ground!

The cut on his neck was clean and distinct.

Huo Jun flicked the blood off his sword and respectfully said to Tu Ge, "You were a worthy opponent."

The headless body collapsed to the ground!

The Chi Rong Army stood dumbfounded for a few moments before shouting at Huo Jun, "Attack together, kill her! Let's avenge Tu Ge!"
