I'll Be the Male Leads Sister-in-Law Chapter 458

Chapter 458

When the news of Ye Dynasty’s victorious army came back to the capital, everyone was in disbelief.
Of course they knew that Xie Xuanchen had great military exploits and was known as everyone’s nightmare in the early years. But nowadays, most of the people in the country were civil servants and they were the type who always felt contempt towards the things they have not experienced. Moreover, those achievements were so exaggerated that most civil servants felt that the common folk were deliberately merely bragging in an attempt to try and please the higher ups.
To defeat many with less was a miracle, but to defeat 100 with a tenth of the power was astonishing. How could something as completely unrealistic as this happen?
As they looked at the numbers on the battle report with both large and small, no one could say anything.
Xie Xuanchen fought with 8000 against 100,000— a disparity even higher than a 1:10 ratio— but he won in front of all of them.
Prime Minister Song looked at the series of records in the battle report with a tinge of fear. On the 25th, Ye Luji launched an early morning charge and crossed the river on the ice. Xie Xuanchen cut off the east and west wings, killing about 9,800 enemies. If he included escapes, stampedes and the like, on the first day alone, he wounded 13,000 enemies and captured countless armors and weapons. Ye Luji himself was shot and wounded by Xie Xuanchen. The next day, Beirong tried to cross the river again, but was suppressed by Xie Xuanchen. In that attempt, Beirong lost another 5,000.
The Beirong soldiers were in a stalemate by the river for five days. Later, Ye Luji’s arrow injury worsened and the cold weather forced the Beirong to retreat north, giving up crossing the river and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to besiege the capital of the Ye Dynasty.
The crisis in the capital was resolved quickly.
In the past few days, the capital had been full of news about the withdrawal of the Beirong troops. Everywhere, people can be heard discussing Xie Xuanchen’s legendary achievements. Xie Xuanchen had been silent for four years, but now, he had once again returned with an irresistible attitude that grasped everyone’s attention.
Xie Xuanchen announced to the world in a high-profile manner that the God of War would always remain the God of War. Even if he disappeared for a time, as long as he wanted to, he could revive his reputation and defeat Beirong with less than one-tenth of the enemy’s troops.
Friends would change, relatives would change and even lovers would change, but a God would always remain a God.
The most boring New Year finally passed the capital. Unexpectedly, the capital suddenly becomes as cheerful as the Chinese New Year after the first month was over. Nowadays, everyone in the capital was spreading rumours that Ye Luji sent hundreds of thousands of troops and laid his bold words to capture the capital within five days. However, he could not even cross the river and was beaten back in despair. 100,000 Beirong people were chased and beaten by Xie Xuanchen. Every time he caught up with them, he beat them severely without even risking their own heads.
