The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1092: Finish
Chapter 1092 End
The Xiliang army has been forced into a state where they don’t know which side to fight. Even with the experienced and wise generals, they would have been defeated long ago.
At this time, the Xiliang Army heard the order to retreat and followed General Zhai’s instructions… fighting in the direction where the Great Zhou Army’s defense was weak, but they ran into the troops led by Wang Qiulu.
Wang Qiulu did not forget Bai Qingyan’s words. Now that these people are here… don’t even think about leaving. He took the lead and rushed to the front, staring at Li Tianfu and vowing to chop off Li Tianfu’s head. He felt that only in this way could he be worthy of the trust that His Majesty had placed in him!
Xie Xun was hit on the horse’s hoof by the Xiliang soldiers who resisted desperately and fell off the horse. He pierced the chest of the Xiliang soldier with his sword and kicked away the Tianfeng soldier who was rushing towards him with a knife.
Before he could draw his sword from the chest of the Xiliang soldier, he felt a cold light rushing towards him. Just as he was about to dodge, he saw the whistling wind blowing past his ears. Behind him, he heard a dull sound of a sharp blade piercing the flesh. He looked back… and saw a silver spear directly inserted into the chest of the Xiliang soldier who was holding a knife towards him. The Xiliang soldier who was about to attack him showed a shocked expression that he would never close his eyes.
The angry horse came galloping, neighing, raising its hooves and leaping beside Xie Xun, the sound shaking the sky, as powerful as thunder.
The man riding on the horse, with a refined and arrogant demeanor and wearing a half silver mask, his red cloak fluttering like an eagle spreading its wings. He holds the reins in one hand and leans over with the other hand holding the red tasseled silver spear.
The silver spear was pulled out from the chest of the Xiliang soldier, and blood mist splattered…
The horse fell to the ground, and the Xiliang soldiers also fell down.
The silver-armored man on horseback, who was looking down from above, turned his horse’s head and held the reins with one hand. He was covered in blood-stained silver armor, and he was riding one horse… In the light of the fire, he looked like a demon from hell, full of murderous aura.
When their eyes met, Xie Xun had a familiar feeling. The fiery and fierce look in the silver-armored general’s eyes was very intimidating. But before he could think of who this general of the Great Zhou was, he felt a sudden cold light coming at him. He instinctively swung his sword backhand, and the sound of the sword colliding was harsh.
Xie Xun kicked the Xiliang soldier who was waving a knife at him away, and soon the Xiliang soldier died under the knife of the Yan army.
Doctor Hong fixed Bai Jinzhi’s dislocated arm, and he climbed up the city wall and shouted loudly, asking the archers to aim carefully before shooting… and not to shoot their own people.
She even stood on the city wall, raised her bow and aimed downwards, but wherever she looked…she saw either the soldiers of the Great Zhou or the Yan army. She could only retract her arrow, feeling resentful. If her arm had not been dislocated, she could have followed her fifth brother and killed all those Xiliang soldiers and the Tianfeng army without leaving a single piece of armor.
From afar, there were sounds of fighting and swords everywhere. Flames leaped and illuminated the ground covered with white snow. The snow was dyed red by blood… It melted and then condensed into ice by the biting cold wind. Everywhere you looked, it was red, like a sea of blood.
We were many in number and the enemy was few in number, and the battle of Pingyang City ended before it even lasted until the second half of the night.
The ninth prince of Yan State, Murong Yan, brought Murong Li and several main generals of Yan State into the city, while the soldiers of the Great Zhou State were cleaning up the battlefield outside the city.
More than 6,000 Xiliang soldiers were almost wiped out, and only half of them escaped.
Of the thirty giant elephants of Tianfeng Kingdom, twelve escaped, six were injured and could not participate in the battle at least for a short period of time, eight died, and four were captured alive.
Tianfeng Kingdom was not prepared for this battle, and Da Zhou and Yan Kingdom were even less prepared. However… because of the right time, place and people, Da Zhou and Da Yan won, but… this was a pyrrhic victory.
The giant elephant charged once and caused the gate of Pingyang City to shake, and the bent wooden bolt made Da Zhou and Dayan realize the power of the giant elephant.
It also made them understand that if this war could not be ended in winter and continued into summer, then… the favorable time and location would be occupied by the Tianfeng Kingdom, and the Great Zhou and Dayan would have no choice but to passively take the beating.
With thirty giant elephants, plus the more than 6,000 troops brought by Xiliang and Tianfeng Kingdom, Da Zhou could completely surround the Xiliang Army and the Tianfeng Elephant Army by itself… It could even be said that it could overwhelm the Xiliang Army. A rough estimate showed that Da Zhou had lost at least more than 3,000 troops. When Yan Kingdom arrived at full speed, Da Zhou had already started the war and suffered heavy losses, at least over 1,500.
In the main hall of the Pingyang City Governor’s Mansion, the charcoal fire in the brazier was crackling.
Servants filed in carrying basins of hot water, and came out of the main hall carrying basins of bloody water.
Yue Shi was kneeling under the corridor, with his head lowered, like a child who had made a mistake.
Except for Bai Qingyan, Shen Kunyang, Bai Jinzhi, and Sikong Shen Jingzhong who did not go down the city wall to fight and had no blood stains on their bodies, neither Murong Yan, Bai Qingyu… Cheng Yuanzhi, Wang Qiulu, nor Xie Xun had time to wash the blood off their armor. They only used hot water to wash the blood off their faces and hands.
Bai Qingyan also wiped his red face and hands with a hot towel, and told Wei Zhong to have someone bring a few bowls of hot soup prepared for the soldiers to them.
Murong Yan wanted to help Bai Qingyan sit down, but was afraid that being too intimate with Bai Qingyan would arouse suspicion, so he said, “Your Majesty is pregnant, and you must be tired after a big battle. You should sit down and rest first.”
Bai Qingyu’s blood was still on his body, so he didn’t want to get close to his elder sister, fearing that his blood would rush to her. “Your Majesty, please take a rest first.”
She nodded, sat down, and said to Murong Li and Xiao Rongyan: “This time…thank you Yan State for coming to help.”
“Da Yan and Da Zhou already have an alliance, so they must advance and retreat together. It is only right for us to come to our aid.” Murong Yan nodded seriously to Bai Qingyan, took the hot tea brought by Wei Zhong, and nodded to thank Wei Zhong.
Seeing his own prince take a seat, Xie Xun, who was standing in front of the brazier warming himself by the fire, also took a seat beside him.
Cheng Yuanzhi and Wang Qiulu rubbed their hands, moved away from the brazier, and sat down next to Shen Kunyang.
“We have never fought against the Tianfeng Kingdom before. That behemoth is indeed intimidating. This is our first time to fight… and I feel that the giant elephant is not invincible. But… even though we won, our losses were also very heavy.” Bai Qingyan’s face was calm, and his hand was tightly holding the sweet porcelain teacup. “If we can’t take advantage of the winter when the giant elephants are afraid of the cold and drive the Tianfeng Kingdom back to the other side of the snowy mountains, and the summer will warm up… our battle will be very difficult to fight.”
Xiao Rongyan nodded in agreement: “At present, the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant army is still in Xiliang. If we take the initiative to attack, the battle… will be fought on Xiliang’s territory, and the people of our Great Yan and Great Zhou will not be harmed. But if other countries come to fight… they will have to fight at our doorstep.”
Bai Qingyu glanced at Xiao Rongyan and agreed with what he said. Whoever the war was fought in would suffer. Not to mention that Xiliang had always had the habit of massacring cities, and Tianfeng Kingdom had the custom of enslaving people from other countries.
“It’s better to start a war sooner rather than later…” Bai Qingyu turned to look at her elder sister, “It’s already the twelfth lunar month, and it must be over before the beginning of spring.”
