The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1212: Got it
Chapter 1212: Fallen into the trap
The pair of eyes under Xiao Rongyan’s mask were gloomy and cold, without a trace of warmth. The ferocious mask was sprayed red with blood, and the whole person looked like a Rakshasa who had returned from hell.
Yue Shi, who came riding on a fine horse, finally broke through the layers of Xiliang troops and arrived to the side of Xiao Rongyan, completely protecting Xiao Rongyan’s left side.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Great Zhou raised their arms and cheered when they saw the reinforcements.
Bai Qingyan turned around and spoke in a fast and steady voice, “The reinforcements from Dayan have arrived! Order them not to throw cigarette packs under the city wall anymore. Soldiers of the Great Zhou should not be stingy with their arrows, and must fight here! Let Xiliang never return!”
On the city wall, not only the soldiers of the Great Zhou, but also the common people shouted loudly, shaking the whole area.
The sudden appearance of the Yan reinforcements was like giving the Zhou soldiers a bowl of chicken blood. They swept away their previous fatigue, and their blood boiled. They were excited and roared to fight to the death with the Xiliang army.
“Liu Pinggao!” Bai Qingyan drew out a feather arrow and aimed at Xiao Rongyan’s direction.
“I’m here!” Liu Pinggao, who was shooting arrows, responded quickly.
Bai Qingyan fired an arrow in the direction of Xiao Rongyan and shouted an order: “I order you and Du Sanbao to withdraw half of the troops defending the city wall and leave the city immediately… Cooperate with Dayan from inside and outside, and capture Xiliang’s chief general Cui Shanzhong alive at all costs!”
“Liu Pinggao obeys the order!”
When Liu Pinggao saw the flag of the Great Yan army, his blood was boiling and he had been waiting for Bai Qingyan’s order.
Soon, the gate of the city wall slowly opened. Liu Pinggao and Du Sanbao rode out at the front and led the soldiers of the Great Zhou to rush out and fight to the death.
For a while, dust rose up outside the city of Gyantse, and the sound of killing became more and more intense.
Wild horses collided, soldiers from both armies fought, swords clashed, sparks flew.
Compared to the killing sounds that shocked the whole area just now, the killing sounds and roars at this moment were simply boiling and shaking the sky.
When the soldiers of the Great Zhou saw their own soldiers being killed, the archers immediately restrained their arrows. They did not shoot downwards with all their strength as before. They were afraid of hurting their own soldiers, so they aimed before shooting.
The common people held the city gate capstan tightly, shaking with fear, waiting to close the city gate as soon as the soldiers left. They did not want the Xiliang army to enter the city.
The two iron-clad elephants brought by the State of Yan rampaged on the battlefield, making no distinction between friend and foe. Wherever they went, there were corpses and a bloody mess.
General Cui opened his eyes wide in surprise. Yan State… How could Yan State appear here? !
That is… the flag of the Dayan royal family!
Shouldn’t Yan State be on the way to Yunjing, competing with Da Zhou for who will conquer Yunjing first? Why did they come to Jiangzi City to be the emperor of Da Zhou? !
Seeing that in front of the two giant armored elephants, their Xiliang army was like ants, with no room for resistance at all. They were either trampled to death or hit to death!
“How many troops did the Yan State send?” General Cui asked loudly, “Where are the spies? Why didn’t the spies report back?!”
The Yan State has brought people to attack us, but the spies didn’t even notice what they were doing!
“General! The Yan people came too fast. Our spies didn’t have time to report the news!” The Xiliang general who was guarding General Cui shouted, “General, let’s retreat! There are definitely more than 5,000 troops in Jiangzi City. They have already opened the car door and rushed out. Maybe they are hiding their strength and waiting to cooperate with Yan. The little troops we have now are Xiliang’s last hope!”
Ever since the two giant iron-clad elephants and the flags of the Yan army appeared on the battlefield, the morale of the Xiliang army has been in chaos.
People will naturally feel fear towards animals that are larger than themselves, not to mention that those two armored elephants suddenly appeared on the battlefield, howling and charging wildly. The Xiliang soldiers were unprepared and had never had a head-on conflict with the armored elephants. They had no choice but to be trampled to death without even the slightest chance to resist. Who wouldn’t be afraid of this!
While General Cui was still hesitating, he heard a report from a spy…
“Report…”
The Xiliang spy with a flag on his back rode across the battlefield and rushed to General Cui. He jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee and said, “General Cui, our army that went to ambush and rob the grain was deceived. The grain bags were filled with stones. As soon as our army went down, the Great Zhou army rushed up. The two armies are fighting now. Please help!”
General Cui felt a fishy-sweet taste rushing up his throat, and he opened his eyes wide…his face turned red.
Fell into a trap!
General Cui covered his chest tightly and looked up at the city wall of Gyantse. Was it the little girl from the Bai family?
Maybe she had guessed his plan a long time ago, so she made preparations early!
At this moment, General Cui also understood where Bai Qingyan had discovered his weakness. He would rather disperse his troops to surround Gyantse City and not allow even a fly to fly out, which would expose his purpose of stealing food.
We attacked the camp last night because we knew the Yan army would arrive today, so we were fearless!
Waves of dizziness hit General Cui’s head and he could hardly hold on.
“General!”
“Old General!”
The generals guarding General Cui all called out to him.
General Cui covered his chest with his hands. Reinforcements… Where are the reinforcements coming from? !
But Xiliang only has this little wealth now. If we go to rescue the Xiliang soldiers who are looting food, we may be surrounded by Da Zhou and Yan. If we retreat now… perhaps we can still save some troops.
“General!” The generals beside General Cui tightly grasped General Cui’s arm and shouted, “No more hesitation! I will stay with the troops to provide cover, and you, General, will lead the army to retreat!”
“Retreat! Retreat!” General Cui shouted loudly.
The Xiliang messenger rode forward on horseback, shouting, “Retreat! Retreat!”
Standing on the city wall, Bai Qingyan aimed at the Xiliang general who had just received the order to retreat and turned his horse around, and shot an arrow…
Feather arrows whistled, and one shot off the helmet on the Xiliang general’s head. He turned his head to look at the city wall, but before he could see clearly, the second arrow whistled at him and pierced his throat straight away, and blood mist spurted out instantly.
She glanced at the Xiliang soldiers who were trying to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Rongyan, and with extremely fast and steady hands, she drew her arrow, drew her bow, and released it!
The Xiliang soldier’s sword, which was intended to launch a sneak attack on Xiao Rongyan, had not yet touched Xiao Rongyan’s armor when he fell to the ground in the blood mist.
Bai Qingyan held the Sun-Shooting Bow and grabbed a quiver with one hand and hung it around her waist. She locked her eyes on Xiao Rongyan and adjusted her direction as the position of the horse Xiao Rongyan was riding changed, trying to keep Xiao Rongyan within her visual range.
Liu Pinggao led Du Sanbao out of the city and fought for a while before they saw the chariot with the commander hanging on it trying to escape. Du Sanbao shouted loudly: “The Xiliang thief is trying to escape! Brothers… Kill him! Capture Cui Shanzhong alive… He has made up for his crime! Kill!”
