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…."
