Chapter 475

The soldiers, upon hearing this, showed great respect.

Duan Yu nodded as he met the gazes of many soldiers.

When his gaze fell on Wang Yi, it was immediately filled with astonishment.

A woman?

Duan Yu looked Wang Yi up and down; she was over 1.7 meters tall and wearing leather armor.

Under the outline of the exquisite, form-fitting leather armor, her outstanding figure was fully revealed.

Her legs were slender, her waist was slim, and the purple short cloak behind her added a bit of heroic spirit.

Looking at the blood-stained leather armor and the short spear in her hand stained with blood.

This was clearly the bloodstains left over from the battle just now.

A female general...

The military commander who had just been talking to Wang Yi stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Duan Yu:

"Reporting to the General, Old General Tian... has died for his country."

Hmm?

Duan Yu frowned.

Died in battle?

The military commander pointed to the position under the city and said: "Just now the city wall was breached, and Old General Tian fought bravely, falling off the wall with the rebel soldiers to die together."

All the soldiers on the city wall looked dim.

Tian Yan currently held no official position.

Strictly speaking, he was just a commoner.

But the military commander was willing to call Tian Yan "Old General Tian."

Looking at the expressions of the surrounding soldiers, Duan Yu knew what position Tian Yan held in everyone's hearts.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ang, who had been dragged onto the wall.

Duan Yu frowned and asked: "Old General Tian had no official position, and you are the County Magistrate of Yunwu; why are you not stained with blood?"

Several soldiers standing near the battlements with sad eyes immediately stood out upon hearing Duan Yu's words.

"General Duan, we are the master's family generals."

"County Magistrate Zhao Ang, cowardly and refused to fight."

"If it weren't for our master ordering us to drag him onto the wall, he would still be cowering in the county government office and refusing to come out!"

"If it weren't for him, how could our master have died in battle!"

"Yes, it's him, the cowardly guy, it's all his fault!"

Tian Yan's family generals looked at Zhao Ang with grief and indignation.

Cowardly and refused to fight?

Duan Yu turned around, his gaze falling on Zhao Ang.

The Western Qiang had been attacking Yunwu for more than a day or two.

If that was the case, then this County Magistrate Zhao Ang had not participated in the battle at all?

"Is what they said true?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Zhao Ang with a cold gaze: "Answer this general's question, what were you doing these past few days while the Western Qiang were attacking the city!"

Zhao Ang's face stiffened, devoid of any color.

"I... I... I was in the county government office coordinating..."

"Bullshit!" Duan Yu roared: "The Western Qiang besieged the city, Prefect Chen Yi died in battle, and you are the chief official in Yunwu City."

"At such a time, you don't climb the wall to defend the city, and you tell this general you were coordinating in the county government office?"

"Old General Tian was a commoner, and he knew to climb the wall to defend the city, yet you, as a County Magistrate, were cowardly?"

Zhao Ang's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "General... General, spare me..."

"Hmph."

Duan Yu let out a cold snort and said: "If this general spares you, who will spare these soldiers who died in battle."

"Shitou, Hunu."

"This subordinate is here!"

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu, who were behind Duan Yu, stepped forward.

Duan Yu reached out and pointed at Zhao Ang, who was lying limply on the ground, and said: "Chop this useless thing!"

"As an official, cowardly and refusing to fight, what use are you!"

"Kill him!"

"Yes!"

Tie Shitou and Wang Hunu stepped forward, grabbed Zhao Ang's arms, pulled him up from the ground, and walked toward the battlements.

"General..."

"General Duan, spare my life."

"General Duan, spare my life, I..."

"Save me, Wang Yi, save me."

Zhao Ang shouted for help.

However, on the city wall, no soldier, military commander, or platoon leader said a word for Zhao Ang.

Yunwu was besieged, and Zhao Ang was greedy for life and afraid of death, hiding in the county government office and refusing to come out; everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

Now, who could save him?

As for Wang Yi, who was standing on the city wall.

She turned her back as she watched Zhao Ang, who had been dragged to the battlements, get his head chopped off and fall from the city wall.

Wang Yi?

Duan Yu turned his head and followed the woman Zhao Ang had looked at before he died.

"Your name is Wang Yi?" Duan Yu asked.

Wang Yi lowered her gaze and nodded slightly.

Huh.

Duan Yu suddenly remembered.

He wondered why he felt the name of this person called Zhao Ang was so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

So... it was Wang Yi's husband.

If it were Zhao Ang, perhaps no one would know.

But if it were Wang Yi, as a woman who could stand on equal footing with Ma Chao, there probably weren't many who didn't know her.

"Then he..." Duan Yu pointed at Zhao Ang, whose head had been chopped off by Tie Shitou.

"Reporting to the General, County Magistrate Zhao was the commoner's fiancé." Wang Yi replied with her head down.

Duan Yu said "Oh."

So it was a fiancé; he had wondered, if it were a husband, how could Wang Yi not care about her own husband.

It seemed that his unintentional act had actually resulted in him chopping off Wang Yi's future husband.

"Someone, open the city, and welcome back Old General Tian's corpse!"

Duan Yu didn't pay much attention to killing Wang Yi's fiancé.

At this point, he was no longer the small patrol officer in Jinyang City.

Back then, a County Magistrate named Chen Ye had almost schemed to kill him, but now... a County Magistrate like Zhao Ang, killing him was just killing him. ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
