Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1089

Chapter 1089 -1083: Kill

However, the elephant’s trunk was protected by chain mail, making it nearly impossible for fire arrows, which seemed like mere sticks to the elephants, to penetrate.

On the city walls, the first group of bowmen launched fire arrows, crouching down to dip arrows in oil and draw their bows as the second group stood up in succession. The arrow rain was like a giant net, rushing out in thousands, seemingly igniting the sky above Pingyang City with flames. Fire light flickered one after another in the snowy night sky, resembling daylight…

Before those massive figures could stand firm, the incoming fire arrow rain arrived with a whistling sound. Even though the elephants were clad in armor, countless fire arrows came whistling down, crashing into the armor and falling, yet the arrows were coated with oil. As soon as the oil touched the animal hide worn by the elephants from the Tianfeng Kingdom, it immediately caught fire.

The giant elephants shook their heads chaotically, almost throwing off the Tianfeng Kingdom generals. The generals urgently grabbed the bone whistles hanging from their chests, blowing continuously, and those chaotic elephants seemed to be under a spell, gradually ceasing their rampage, as if the injuries on their bodies no longer existed, the burning fur no longer felt on their skin, they turned and retreated… 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The elephant tamers sitting on the backs of the elephants hurriedly used clothes to put out the fires as the elephants continued to move.

Li Tianfu, terrified and pale from the chaotic rampage of the giant elephants, tightly clutched the armrests of her seat, watching as the canopy was pierced by the fiery arrows, an arrow narrowly missing her head and embedding into the wood supporting the canopy’s corners…

Luckily, the canopy was covered with accumulated snow, preventing the fire from igniting, and the arrow feathers pierced through the snow on the canopy, extinguishing the flame with oil, yet the arrow rain continued, who knew when it might take her life.

After turning, the giant elephants ran very fast, stepping on soldiers underfoot as they ran, almost throwing off Li Tianfu again.

The soldiers who were commanded to retreat were sprinting wildly in the snow, those who slipped were trampled by their comrades, and the unlucky ones were crushed into pulp by the elephants.

Li Tianfu tightly held onto the wooden posts of the canopy, looking back at the city walls where the fire arrows were continuously being launched. She witnessed with her own eyes the fire arrows crashing into the armor-clad elephants, unable to penetrate the iron armor and falling down, yet the bluish flames on the oil burned on the armor, extinguished by the vast snowflakes due to the lack of combustible material.

She gritted her teeth tightly, her ears only filled with the sound of howling wind and snow, her face and hands were red from the cold, she turned and shouted loudly: “We’ve already retreated out of their arrow’s range! Why haven’t you stopped?! Bai Qingyan is standing on Pingyang City’s tower, it’s such a good opportunity! Use the elephants to ram Pingyang City’s gate, as long as we enter, we’ll surely capture Bai Qingyan alive! Retreating now is cowardice and failure! Capturing Bai Qingyan is a significant achievement! Only then can your Tianfeng Kingdom find a foothold!”

The commander of the Tianfeng Kingdom elephants could comprehend Li Tianfu’s meaning, but he also understood that Li Tianfu was a vengeful lunatic!

God had already given him a warning, he should have retreated at that time, not giving in to greed! This time, the Emperor of Zhou had personally led troops, despite not knowing how many troops Zhou brought, but considering today’s Four-Nation Alliance viewing from afar, the overwhelming crowd was definitely not a few!

The Tianfeng Kingdom came to help Xiliang retrieve Li Zhijie, and since it’s winter, they were unprepared for war, suddenly initiating war was too rash, thirty elephants might not suffice.

“Kill—”
