Chapter 333: Rebellion (5)
General Ye used his sword to deflect the incoming arrows while protecting his father behind him. Unfortunately, his sword couldn’t stop all the arrows.
When Jian Yi gave the signal for the third round of shots, Ye Tianchi’s eldest son had already been pierced by several arrows and bleeding profusely. He knew that he would not survive these injuries, and he looked at his deputy general.
The deputy general noticed his gaze and nodded. Before Ye Tianchi could realize what his eldest son wanted to do, the deputy general had already pulled him from behind his eldest son and ran towards the Wu Men Gate.
The next second, Ye Tianchi understood what his eldest son wanted to do. He struggled to free himself from the deputy general’s hand and reached for his eldest son.
"Dalang! Don’t be stupid! Hurry up and retreat with me!"
Seeing his eldest son turn to look at him, Ye Tianchi opened his mouth to call for his son again but saw an arrow piercing his eldest son’s chest and stuck to the ground behind him. Ye Tianchi’s pupils shrank, and he watched his eldest son cough up blood and fall to the ground as he breathed his last.
Seeing his eldest son die in front of him, Ye Tianchi’s mind went blank, and his ears were buzzing. Seeing that General Ye was dead, the deputy general hurriedly pulled up the stunned Ye Tianchi.
"Ye Cheng Xiang, let’s go! General Ye sacrificed his life to buy you time to retreat! You can’t let him down! We must go now!"
As if he could not hear the deputy general’s desperate words, Ye Tianchi suddenly struggled out of his grip and rushed towards his eldest son’s body like a madman.
