I’ll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law-Chapter 452

Ye Luji had a rise in fighting spirit as he raised his sword and shouted in Khitan, “Khitan warriors, the richest royal capital of the Ye Dynasty is not far away. Rush forward, rob their food and treasure, and go back to help our affected parents, brothers and sisters!”

When the soldiers heard Ye Luji’s words, they were in great spirits. All of them yelled in response and ran forward. One of them stepped on the ice, and suddenly, the whole piece of ice broke and collapsed. The man also ended up falling into the ice hole.

The water under the ice was very cold in winter. The soldier who fell into the water was shivering hard and tried his best to climb up. But at this moment, he couldn’t find the opening that he fell from just now.

He was trapped under the ice and patted the ice over his head frantically. However, this winter was extremely cold and the ice was so solid that he could not find an exit to float up to. Other soldiers above were also frightened by this incident. When they saw their companion asking for help under the ice, they chopped the ice under their feet in an attempt to rescue him. But the ice was rather indestructible and the man under the ice was carried here and there by the current. Wherever he went, he continued banging on the ice, but before they could break a gap, the man under the ice was already unable to breathe for too long and drowned to death.

Many soldiers watched helplessly as their companion beat the ice helplessly and begged for help. Finally, the man had run out of breath and had drowned before their eyes. Carried by the currents, his bruised body floated lifelessly.

He died painfully before their eyes all in the blink of an eye.

This caused a great shock in the hearts of all the Khitan soldiers, and at this time, the sound of falling water could be heard again.

Suddenly, there were shouts and cries everywhere on the ice. Ye Luji realised that something was wrong. It was a taboo to have the troops in disarray before the attack. Before he could reorganise his troops, an overwhelming rain of arrows suddenly rained towards them from the opposite side.

The Beirong soldiers were already shocked by the incident. When they looked up, they saw arrows coming and their formation turned into chaos. As they pushed each other out of the way, more and more holes in the ice were cracking down, resulting in more men dropping into the freezing water, crying and shouting loudly.

Ye Luji finally understood why Xie Xuanchen had stayed on the other side of the river. It was because he secretly dug holes in the ice, leaving only the last layer intact. Normally, the connections between the ice layers could not be seen, but once a man stood on it, it would collapse under the weight.

The number of people who died due to falling into the icy water was insignificant compared to the hundreds of thousands of people in Beirong, but the panic caused in the team was Xie Xuanchen’s real motive. The struggle before the battle was about military morale. If the military morale was in chaos, the battle would be lost.

Xie Xuanchen even deliberately lit a bonfire a few days ago, not really done with the intent to sacrifice the river, but to paralyse the Beirong soldiers.
