The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 869: lost to the hearts of the people
Chapter 869 Lost to People’s Heart
Therefore, the Pingyang army can only fight to the death and must not retreat!
Wang Meng saw that the morale of the Pingyang army was shaken by the appearance of the black sail and white python flag, and shouted loudly: “Soldiers! His Majesty is in the imperial city. If we retreat… the imperial city will be lost! We are the last line of defense for our Jin State! We will not retreat even if we die! The princess is already dying of illness, how can she be our opponent! Soldiers, if you defeat the princess, you will be the soldiers who defeated the undefeated god of war! Our army is the army of the gods who defeated the invincible and victorious! We must enter the capital city as soon as possible! Kill!”
On the city wall, Ji Tingyu heard Wang Meng’s shout, his eyes were murderous, and he raised his arms high: “Archers, get ready!”
A whistling rain of arrows rushed down from the city walls of Dadu City, and the Pingyang soldiers, who had no time to hide under their shields, fell down with screams.
Lieutenant General Wang Meng rushed to the rear and led his troops to resist the army led by Bai Qingyan. However, just as he raised his arrow and had not yet aimed at Bai Qingyan, he saw a ray of cold light whistling towards him. Before he could react, the arrow pierced his throat.
Deputy Wang Meng spat out a mouthful of blood, and felt all the hot blood pouring into his throat, and he fell off the horse’s back.
“General!”
“General!”
“Yes…it’s the Princess Zhenguo!” a Pingyang soldier shouted.
The Sun-Shooting Bow can shoot arrows without missing their targets. Whenever an arrow is shot… it will definitely pierce the throat and draw blood. Looking around the Jin State, only the Princess Zhenguo has such a terrifying archery skill.
In the distance, in the yellow sand that covered the sky, black sails and white python flags fluttered and rolled. Black-armored soldiers came like a tide, rushing towards them with golden spears raised high, making earth-shaking shouts of killing that made people’s ears buzz.
The Pingyang soldiers who had not heard Wang Meng’s shouting in the distance adjusted their helmets and looked at the rain of arrows coming from afar, a little confused: “Did the Princess Zhenguo hit the wrong person?!”
Another Pingyang soldier hurriedly pulled his companion back under the shield and shouted, “Bullshit! The one in the capital city is the sister of the Zhenguo Princess! Did they hit the wrong person?!”
“But… that’s the princess who guards the country! The Bai family is a loyal and righteous family!”
As soon as the Pingyang soldier finished speaking, he heard the sound of arrow rain whizzing past his ears and screams were heard all around. With his arms supporting the shield, he could feel the powerful arrows piercing into the shield one after another, and his whole body was numb from the shock.
As the cavalry holding black sails and white python flags were getting closer and closer, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble faster and faster, and the stones began to jump along with it, as fast as the heartbeats of the soldiers.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the Pingyang soldiers poked their heads out from behind their shields that were pierced like hedgehogs, and saw a figure riding a white horse, wearing silver armor and holding a spear leaping over their heads. They had just seen the fluttering red cloak, and the next moment their throats were scratched by a cold light, and blood spurted out immediately.
The iron cavalry clad in chain mail had already rushed into the shield formation of the Pingyang army and started killing indiscriminately.
Bai Qingyan rode first and charged into the Pingyang army. Wherever his red tasseled spear went, he would take lives. His silver armor was stained with blood, like a demon in a pool of blood. His angry horse raised its hooves and neighed loudly, and he was filled with murderous aura.
Bai Jinxiu stood on the city wall, drew her bow and arrow… aiming at Bai Qingyan’s surroundings, fearing that others would hurt her.
She looked at her invincible and arrogant elder sister, her eyes were red. She had never thought that she would see her elder sister on the battlefield again, and she did not expect to see the figure of the Bai family army’s little Bai Shuai fighting hard against the enemy.
Even though Bai Qingyan was surrounded by enemy troops, she exuded the murderous aura of someone who had fought in battles many times and experienced hundreds of battles, forcing the enemy troops to not dare to confront her head-on. Wherever the cold light of her silver spear went… no enemy troops survived.
Ji Tingyu, who rushed out from the wide-open city gate, had already led a small group of soldiers to rush to Bai Qingyan’s side. Bai Jinxiu immediately put away his bow and said loudly to the generals in Yuanping: “The Princess Zhenguo has arrived! The Pingyang rebels will be defeated! Generals, we should do our best to break through the imperial city… capture King Liang alive and put an end to the war as soon as possible!”
“Follow Madam Qin’s orders!” said the general of the Yuanping army, clasping his fists.
As soon as the black sail and white python flag was lit, all the soldiers were as excited as if they had drunk chicken blood, not to mention that they had now seen with their own eyes the invincible Princess Zhenguo taking the lead in charging into the Pingyang army with an unstoppable force. It made their hearts surge and their blood boil, and they wished they could rush forward right now and join hands with Princess Zhenguo to kill the enemy.
Outside the capital city, Bai Qingyan led his troops in a fierce battle with the Pingyang army.
In Dadu City, Bai Jinxiu led the Yuanping army to attack the imperial city.
The soldiers under the Black Sails and White Python were all in high spirits and became more and more courageous as they fought more.
The Pingyang army was gradually defeated, and some of Zhao Ziliang’s men even threw down their weapons and surrendered to save their lives.
The defeat of the Pingyang army came faster and more violently than Wang Meng had expected. In less than half an hour, Wang Meng and the dozen or so remaining soldiers were surrounded by Wang Xiping and his men.
Wang Meng was holding a curled blade in his hand, his body was covered in blood, and he had an arrow in his heart. He was barely able to stand up with the help of his loyal subordinates.
Although Du Sanbao was a general of the State of Jin, he had never crossed paths with Wang Meng, and he was merciless in his attack. Seeing that Wang Meng was seriously injured but refused to surrender, he wiped the blood off his face with his hand and gave Wang Meng a thumbs up: “You are a real man! If you had surrendered, we could still be good colleagues, but you refused to surrender! Considering our friendship as people of the State of Jin, I will send you off as soon as possible!”
As Du Sanbao was about to raise his knife to fight, he heard Ji Tingyu shouting from behind: “Stop!”
Du Sanbao turned around and saw Bai Qingyan jumping down from his tall horse. He quickly put away his sword and made way for him with the soldiers.
Bai Qingyan casually threw the blood-stained red tasseled spear to Ji Tingyu, then strode towards Wang Meng, followed by the panting Wang Xiping.
Wang Meng looked at Bai Qingyan, who was walking in the wind, and felt that the previous rumors were simply ridiculous…
Such a princess is called bedridden? Is she dying soon?
How could a sick man in his bed kill his soldiers as easily as cutting melons? Wherever the silver spear went, a large number of them fell down!
Who, who is about to die, dares to lead the troops, rush to the front on the battlefield, and charge into his formation alone to destroy it?
Whose house?!
This is clearly the same little Bai Shuai of the Bai family army who was invincible back then. No… the Princess Zhenguo in front of him is much more ferocious than the little Bai Shuai back then.
Wang Meng had tears in his eyes. What about the sickbed and the impending death? It was all nonsense!
“General Wang Meng!” Bai Qingyan bowed to Wang Meng.
Wang Meng managed to stand up with all his strength and bowed to Bai Qingyan. “In my early years, I had the honor to fight with the Princess Zhenguo and the Bai family army on the battlefield. I knew that the Princess Zhenguo was brave and invincible. Today… I am convinced that I have been defeated by the Princess Zhenguo!”
“It was not Bai Qingyan who defeated General Wang, but the hearts of people.”
