The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 634: restless
Chapter 634: Restless
The archer standing under the ladder immediately drew his bow and arrow, bent down and waited. The entire Bai family was so quiet that even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped.
The Bai Family Guards are all retired members of the Bai Family Army. They are well-trained and each of them is a fearless warrior. Even though they have been living a life of luxury in the capital city for so many years after being seriously injured, none of them has lost their skills and they all hope to return to the Bai Family Army one day.
Especially at moments like this, one can see the difference between the Bai family’s servants and those of other families.
If it were someone else’s servant, even if he didn’t cry, he would definitely be so panicked that he dared not even breathe, and his legs would be so weak that he couldn’t stand up.
But the servants of the Bai family picked up their best weapons and stood guard in the yard. Some of them shouted that they would defend the Chuihua Gate to the death. They all looked murderous and seemed to be determined to defend the Bai Mansion to the death.
With such guards and servants, who can break into the Bai family? !
The sound of horses neighing suddenly sounded outside the high wall, and the dull and orderly footsteps as loud as thunder had reached the main entrance of Princess Zhenguo’s mansion.
The leader of the Bai family’s guards, who were crouching on the ladders on the high wall, shouted, “Smash them to death!”
The Bai family guards who were bending over and hiding on the ladder suddenly stood up and threw the jar of wine in their hands at the soldiers lined up outside the yard.
The sound of wine jars breaking and screams came one after another.
“Wine! It’s wine!”
Someone outside the high wall cried out, “Be careful! It’s wine! Be careful they use fire!”
The archers of the Bai family guards who had already nocked their arrows heard the sound and saw that the guard who threw the wine had already come down the ladder to get the jar of wine. They quickly dipped the arrowhead into the kerosene barrel where flames were raging, and climbed up the ladder in two steps. The arrowhead, with a blue flame, shot straight at the soldiers who were screaming in the alley.
When strong liquor hit fire and then met wind, it almost grew with the wind. Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky outside the high wall of the Bai family, and screams and wails were heard one after another.
“Damn it! Bring the battering ram over here! Bang the door! Quick!” The leading general had already reached the high steps of the Bai family’s main gate. He would never watch his soldiers being killed by the Bai family’s wine and rockets. “Go get some reinforcements! Quick!”
The general spoke fluent Nandu dialect and shouted at his men to knock on the door.
Yue Shi, who had been half-squatting in front of the door, stood up and drew his sword. He turned around to look at Xiao Rongyan, and when he saw Xiao Rongyan nod, he seized the opportunity and jumped down. A cold light fell from the sky and went straight for the head of the Nandu army general.
However, in the blink of an eye, the head of the leading General Nandu rolled to the bottom of the high steps of the Bai Mansion, but his body… was still standing there, and his hand on the hilt of the sword was unable to draw it.
“Open the door!” Yue Shi shouted.
Lupin’s expression was tense, and he followed General Xiao Rongyan’s instructions: “Archers, get ready! Open the door!”
The Nandu soldiers who were carrying the battering ram saw their general’s beheaded head rolling right at their feet. The guards protecting their general were also killed by the guards in black. They were stunned for a moment and did not dare to move forward.
As for the six red-lacquered doors with gold rings, which were stained red with the blood of generations of the Bai family, they thought that they would need the heaviest wood to knock open. But before they could carry the wood up to the high steps of the Bai Mansion’s main entrance, the door… opened by itself.
Inside the gate, lights flickered and the Bai family guards stood in an orderly formation.
On the high wall and ladder, archers took turns shooting arrows without stopping.
The archers behind the heavy shield drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot.
Following them were the Bai family guards holding long swords, each with a calm and composed look in their eyes.
Xiao Rongyan, standing in front of the main hall door, clenched the soft sword in his hand that was shining with cold light. His proud character could not hide his restrained and terrifying murderous aura. The power in his body was definitely not that of the gentle and elegant businessman he usually was.
Dark clouds were surging over the capital city, and outside the Bai Mansion, flames were shooting into the sky and screams were heard, but inside the Bai Mansion… it was so quiet and calm that it made people feel thrilling.
Yue Shi slowly put away the bloody sword in his hand, stood outside the door like a door god, overlooking the rebels carrying the door-banging wood, sneered, turned around and walked into Bai’s house.
The Nandu Army was leaderless, and the Bai family was on high alert, so rushing in would be tantamount to seeking death.
When marching desperately, the most taboo thing is the loss of morale of the troops!
The Bai family had just thrown a wine jar on fire, which immediately broke the morale of the Nandu Army. With the death of the leading general, what kind of power can these Nandu Army, which was half-dead due to the fire, have?
The best strategy is to attack the enemy’s plan and the best strategy is to attack his heart!
The world seemed to be still for a moment, and a fifth-rank general from the Southern Capital Army rushed out, shouting and ordering his men to charge into Bai’s mansion.
Arrows whistled, and the first wave that rushed into the Bai Mansion had all fallen. The leader of the archery team on the high wall saw that half of the Nandu soldiers who had survived the rockets had already rushed in, and shouted loudly: “Close the door!”
In terms of numbers, the Bai family guards are inferior to the Nandu army, so… Xiao Rongyan wants to divide and devour the Nandu army!
Let some of them in first, then close the door and beat the enemy. While the enemies outside are attacking, kill all of them without leaving any alive, and then counterattack to kill the enemies outside.
In short, Xiao Rongyan must not let the Nando Army pass through the Chuihua Gate.
Xiao Rongyan formulated this strategy based on the assumption that more than a thousand soldiers would come. He wanted all the Nandu troops that came to the Bai Mansion to never return, so as to relieve the pressure on Bai Qingyan. Unexpectedly… It was not known whether Prince Xian underestimated the Bai family’s guards too much, or he really could not spare any more troops to capture the Bai family, so he only sent such a small number of people.

Inside the Changshouyuan.
The draft whistled through the hall, and faint sounds of shouting and banging doors could be heard from the front yard.
Second Madam Liu felt as if she had palpitations. Her heart was beating so fast that she felt restless and the silk handkerchief in her hand was stained with sweat.
Miss Lu and the elderly Doctor Hong were also kept in the Changshouyuan.
Doctor Hong was fine, after all, he had fought bloody battles with King Bai Weiting of Zhenguo on the battlefield. He was sitting in the outer room of the upper house of Changshou Courtyard drinking tea, with a sword on the round table. If the bandits really attacked Changshou Courtyard, Doctor Hong would rather risk his life than let anyone touch the Second Madam and the Seventh Girl.
It was also the first time for Miss Lu to see such a scene. She could vaguely see a fire ahead and her heart was beating very fast.
But Bai Jinse, a small maid, was very brave. The maids and servants protected her in the upper room of Changshou Courtyard, but she took off her shoes, knelt on the couch, and leaned on the window to push open the window frame.
The sounds of killing outside came in more clearly. She stared at the front yard where the flames were flickering faintly. The sound of banging on the door… in this silent scene, it was much clearer.
Liu’s fingers suddenly clenched the corner of her clothes. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she couldn’t stand up from the chair. At this moment, she was not afraid of the danger she would face, but of Bai Jinxiu and Wang Ge’er.
What she was afraid of was how she would get Bai Jinse out if the Bai family guards couldn’t defend the front yard.
