‘What’s the situation?’
Why were there suddenly so many soldiers?
“General, it’s reinforcements from the Imperial Court!”
“Damn it! Where did the Imperial Court get reinforcements from? If there were reinforcements, wouldn’t Jia County have reported it long ago?”
The Northern Yan general, whose right ear had been shot off, wrapped the wound with a cloth. The cold wind was like a knife, cutting his wound, making him gasp in pain.
He would never believe that there would be reinforcements at the border unless Leng Kui returned. However, would Leng Kui abandon the rich barbican and come to support a small Zi Town?
If they had not calculated Leng Kui’s personality, would they have sent troops here to attack Qin Canglan?
However, he did not expect Qin Canglan to be a tough nut to crack. He lasted until the fourth day on an empty stomach.
This should be the limit of the soldiers in the city. As long as they continued to attack, they would definitely be able to kill Qin Canglan and attack Zi Town!
“General, there seems to be no movement, and I don’t see anyone coming,” his deputy said as he looked at the pitch-black night.
The Northern Yan general said disdainfully, “Hmph, a feint! They are probably just soldiers who returned from outside. Don’t worry about that. Continue to attack the city!”
However, the deputy general had an ominous feeling, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
His premonition did not disappoint him, because in the next second, dense arrows swept over. With the cover of the night, they were only discovered when they approached.
They were focused on attacking the city, and they were all exposed in the open space at the city gate. Like live targets, a large number of them immediately fell to the ground.
The deputy general was shocked. “General, be careful!”
The Northern Yan general swung his sword and broke an arrow that was shot at him. He gritted his teeth and looked at the end of the dark night. “Shields!
Right wing, form a formation!”
The right-wing army raised their shields in unison. The sound of countless arrows colliding could be heard on the shields, and the attack was stopped.
The generals of Northern Yan were very satisfied!
Perhaps because they were angered, the Great Zhou archers gradually lost their aim. They could not even hit their shields and all fell to the ground. He said mockingly, “What’s there to be afraid of a group of trash!”
The deputy general sniffed. “Sir, something doesn’t seem right! Is there something wrong with these arrows?”
Su Xiaoxiao drew her golden bow and loaded a burning arrow before shooting towards the opposite side.
The moment the arrow hit the ground, the kerosene was all ignited. The flames rushed to the Northern Yan soldiers and burned the event location into a sea of fire.
This scene stunned everyone!
The Great Zhou soldiers, who had been besieged for four days and four nights, finally heard the screams of the Northern Yan soldiers. They rose and fell, intersecting endlessly. Even the charging cart was on fire, and the ladder was not spared.
“An!”
People kept falling down the ladder. The camp of Northern Yan began to panic. The Northern Yan general said sternly, “Don’t panic! Attack the city! You’ll be safe after entering the city!”
The deputy general shouted in fear, “General! Look! It’s the Qin family army!”
The army finally appeared. It was a black mass that swept towards them like a surging torrent.
The leader seemed to be a general in silver armor. She wore a helmet and mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
The flag bearer beside her raised the fluttering Vermillion Bird Banner.
Vermillion Bird, the signature of the Qin family army.
Qin Canglan frowned.
He recognized his own army. These people were not the Qin family’s army.
Could it be that Mo’er was back?
That was not right. Mo’er had only brought 5,000 people back then, but this looked closed to be 10,000 reinforcements.
Who rushed over to reinforce them under the name of the Qin family’s army?
No matter who it was, they came at the right time!
He cut off another ladder with a slash and looked at the reinforcements below the city tower. “Qin family army, listen up! Kill all the Northern Yan bastards!
Tong Ke! I want Zhou’s head!”
Zhou Lie was the name of the Northern Yan general.
If Zhou Lie still had a trace of doubt before, Qin Canglan’s words undoubtedly confirmed the identity of the ‘Qin family army”.
Tong Ke was one of the three fierce generals under Qin Canglan.
Was he here?
At this moment, the morale that had finally been encouraged by Zhou Lie fell again.
Liu Ren was excited. “Brothers! The Qin family’s army is here! The provisions are also here! Kill! Kill all these wretched thieves! We’ll eat meat tonight!” Su Xiaoxiao took the lead and rushed in front of Zhou Lie.
Zhou Lie glared at the fully armed Su Xiaoxiao warily. “You’re Tong Ke? No, you’re not! Tong Ke, you..
Su Xiaoxiao stabbed him down!
Zhou Lie fell off the horse and looked at her in shock.
He was even more certain that this guy was not Tong Ke. He had fought Tong Ke before, and Tong Ke’s martial arts skills were not like this.
“Who are you?
“The person who wants your life.”
Zhou Lie stabbed at Su Xiaoxiao, who caught his sword with her bare hands.
Zhou Lie could not believe it. What kind of weapon was this girl’s glove? It was impenetrable even by a long sword!
He wanted to pull his sword back, but he realized that the other party was holding it tightly.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him calmly. “The marshal has orders to take your head.”
Zhou Lie’s pupils constricted. “You’re a woman…”
Puchi—
Su Xiaoxiao stabbed him in the heart.
He knelt down stiffly.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed his hair and cut off his head!
Su Xiaoxiao used her qinggong and stepped onto Northern Yan’s chariot in a few steps. She looked down at the people fighting and suddenly raised the bloody head in her hand—
The morale of the Northern Yan soldiers completely collapsed. The arrogant soldiers of the Northern Yan finally collapsed at this moment.
The deputy general abandoned his helmet and armor with the remaining thousands of soldiers and fled in all directions.
The battle ended.
On the city tower, the last Northern Yan soldier was kicked down. The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Qin Canglan endured the dizziness in his body and looked at the armored youth with a burning gaze. He said seriously, “Open the city gate!”
Liu Ren hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, yes, open the city gate! Brothers! Hurry up and let the reinforcements enter the city!” The city gate was slowly opened.
Qin Canglan walked down covered in blood.
He passed through the long entrance of the city gate and came to the battlefield where he had just experienced a bloody battle. He looked at the young man on the horse without blinking. “You are—” Su Xiaoxiao took off her helmet. “Grandpa, it’s me.”
Qin Canglan was stunned.
It had been more than four months since Su Xiaoxiao and Qin Canglan parted in August. At that time, Su Xiaoxiao was still a slightly chubby little girl, but now, she was so thin that she was almost unrecognizable.
No wonder he felt an indescribable heartache when he looked at “him.” So it was his precious granddaughter.
But why did the little girl come to the border? She had even lost so much weight. How much had she suffered?
Qin Canglan looked at her and then at the nearly ten thousand soldiers behind her. Endless pain and pride suddenly surged in his heart. Su Xiaoxiao got off the horse and ran over. “Grandpa!”
She would let him pat her head.
Qin Canglan’s eyes burned as he hugged his precious granddaughter tightly..
