Chapter 417: invincible
Chapter 417: Invincible
But when asked about the news about Gaoyi County Princess Bai Jinzhi, Li Chunyao shook his head and said that Gaoyi County Princess led troops out of the city to rescue General Zhang Duanrui, but later… Xun Tianzhang sent people to send back the body of General Zhang Duanrui, but did not send back any news about Gaoyi County Princess.
Bai Qingyan was even more anxious.
The next morning, Bai Qingyan and his party arrived at the south gate of Longyang City.
Li Chunyao stepped forward and shouted, “I am Li Chunyao, deputy general of Youhua City’s defense general Wang Ruian. I came with the Princess Zhenguo. Please open the city gate!”
“Zhenguo Princess?!” The guard at the city gate looked down at the city and saw no reinforcements. There were only about twenty people. He turned around and shouted, “Go and tell the general that the Zhenguo Princess is here. She only brought… about twenty people!”
Soon, Zhang Duanrui’s deputy general hurriedly climbed up the city wall and looked down. It was indeed the Zhenguo Princess Bai Qingyan, and he shouted hurriedly: “Open the city gate quickly!”
Since Princess Zhenguo came to help, why didn’t she bring reinforcements?
General Zhang Duanrui’s deputy general Lin Kangle had no time to think and hurried to the city gate to greet him.
The drawbridge of the city gate was lowered, and the city gate opened wide…
A faint smell of burning could still be smelled in the city, probably because the Liang army used fire cups when attacking the city. There were still traces of smoke and fire on the ruins.
All the people in Longyang City who could leave had already left. Those who remained were the elderly, the weak, the sick, or those who did not want to leave their homes. They all helped the Jin army set up defenses in the north of the city.
Bai Qingyan and his party rode in on horseback, and Lin Kangle led the crowd to welcome them respectfully.
In the previous battle in Southern Xinjiang, Lin Kangle went to the battle with Zhang Duanrui and had fought with Bai Qingyan before. Like Zhang Duanrui, he believed in Bai Qingyan without a doubt!
To outsiders, Bai Qingyan’s victory in the battle of Southern Xinjiang seemed to be due to luck, but Lin Kangle, who followed General Zhang Duanrui, never forgot… Bai Qingyan had anticipated Yun Poxing’s actions, and then turned the tide when the prince did not listen to his advice and was about to be defeated, and defeated the Xiliang army.
The Bai family… were born to fight, and their sensitivity to the war situation is extraordinary.
Even though Bai Qingyan only brought more than twenty people to Longyang City, for Lin Kangle, seeing Bai Qingyan meant seeing the hope of victory.
The soldiers guarding the city shouted to open the gate. After Bai Qingyan and his party entered the city, the drawbridge was raised and the city gate slowly closed.
“Princess! General Zhang Duanrui told me to defend Chunmu City to the death before he left the city. I was useless! I lost Chunmu City!” Lin Kangle looked at Bai Qingyan with red eyes and knelt on one knee, “Princess, please avenge General Zhang!”
Bai Qingyan got off his horse, handed the black gold whip in his hand to the guard, and asked Lin Kangle: “Is there any news about the Gaoyi County Lady?”
Lin Kangle gritted his teeth and shook his head: “Princess Gaoyi led 2,000 people out of the city to rescue General Zhang who was ambushed, and then lost contact. I’m afraid…”
Bai Qingyan didn’t want to think about that possibility. With Shen Qingzhu by Bai Jinzhi’s side, she would never let anything happen to Bai Jinzhi.
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded, and Daliang was attacking!
“The Liang soldiers are coming! The Liang soldiers are coming!” someone shouted loudly.
The sudden sound of the horn disrupted the peace in Longyang City. Some old men hurriedly dragged their young grandchildren home to hide, fearing that the fire pots thrown into the city by the Liang army would injure their children.
“Princess!” Lin Kangle tightly gripped the sword at his waist.
“Young lady!” Lupin rode over upon hearing the news and jumped off his horse. “Young lady!”
Bai Qingyan nodded to Lupin, turned around and loudly ordered the guards behind him: “Repel the enemy first! Change armor!”
At Bai Qingyan’s command, the twenty guards who followed him dismounted and put on armor.
“General Lin, you go to the city wall first, I will be there soon!” Bai Qingyan said.
Lin Kangle clasped his fists in agreement, mounted his horse and galloped away.
“Is there any news about Xiao Si?” Bai Qingyan asked Lupin.
Lupin looked ashamed and shook his head: “Lupin failed the eldest girl’s trust and failed to keep an eye on the fourth girl!”
Bai Qingyan pursed her lips and said, “Shen Qingzhu didn’t send any news back either?”
Lupin shook his head, but took out a folded brown paper map and a few thin papers from his chest: “But, Miss Shen has already checked the topographic map of Chunmu Mountain and the tactics and characteristics of most of the generals sent by Daliang this time, and left them with me, asking me to stay in the army and wait for the eldest lady to come… and pass them on to the eldest lady.”
Bai Qingyan took it, glanced at the thin paper list and detailed contents, and changed his armor.
The fact that the Princess Zhenguo came to the rescue first excited the defenders and Zhang Duanrui’s men. General Wang Xiping, who was standing on the city wall, brightened up when he heard this. He couldn’t help but ask Lin Kangle again: “The Princess Zhenguo came first? The Princess Zhenguo?!”
“Yes! The Princess who defends the country!” Lin Kangle adjusted his helmet and patted Wang Xiping on the shoulder.
Seeing that the Liang army had stopped in the distance, the generals rode forward and shouted provocatively in front of the moat: “Hey! After all the men in your Bai family of Great Jin died, didn’t you have a killer, the Princess Bai Qingyan? Wasn’t she invincible? Zhang Duanrui is dead… Why didn’t your Emperor of Jin send her? Are you afraid that she will die?!”
These days, the Liang army has always used the Bai family to provoke the Jin army, repeating the same things over and over again. The Jin army can recite them by heart, as if apart from this, they, Daliang, have nothing else to insult and slander the Jin state.
“General Wang! General Wang!” Du Sanbao, wearing armor, came running all the way. Seeing Lin Kangle beside him, he hurriedly saluted, then asked Wang Xiping with a silly smile, “General Wang, has the Princess Zhenguo arrived?! I heard that the Princess Zhenguo came to Longyang City to support the army first!”
“Yes! General Lin just said…the Princess Zhenguo is here!” Wang Xiping didn’t even realize that his voice was filled with joy and confidence when he spoke.
Du Sanbao grinned, showing a row of white teeth, turned around and shouted: “Brothers! Our Princess Zhenguo is here! In the battle of Southern Xinjiang, the Princess Zhenguo led us to defeat the enemy with fewer troops and killed 100,000 elite soldiers from Xiliang! The Xiliang soldiers were beaten to a pulp and begged for peace! Now the Princess Zhenguo will definitely lead us to drive back the Daliang thieves who invaded the border of Jin and killed the border residents of Jin!”
Du Sanbao’s voice was rough and loud, and his words were ear-splitting and instantly boosted morale.
“Hurry back!”
“Hurry back!”
“Hurry back!”
Bai Qingyan, wearing silver armor, a red cloak and holding a sun-shooting bow, stepped onto the city wall.
The soldiers looked at Bai Qingyan, who was so heroic and had steady and swift steps. Their blood boiled and they were full of fighting spirit as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their hot and shining eyes looked at the woman in silver armor who was walking quickly with more than twenty silver armor guards following behind her.
Whether in this world or in the military, the strong have always been respected!
Bai Qingyan, who once followed King Zhenguo to lead the Jin army to destroy the Shu Kingdom and defeated the larger force with a smaller one in the battle in southern Xinjiang, is still invincible in the eyes of the Jin army, even though he is not yet considered a god of war or killing!
