Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1090

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1084: The Gate Will Not Fall

The Xiliang soldiers, upon hearing Li Tianfu’s shout, seemed to be invigorated and rushed forward with courage, vowing to avenge their loved ones and capture the Emperor of Zhou alive!

"Kill!"

"Kill——"

Looking out from Pingyang City towards the distance...

In the vast snow, thirty giant elephants slowly turned around, carrying the commanders of the Tianfeng Kingdom and the giant elephant on which Li Tianfu sat gradually halted due to one eye being shot and the slippery snow underfoot, moving slowly and unstably.

The Xiliang soldiers saw the giant elephants turning and were invigorated by Li Tianfu’s encouragement, roaring as they rushed from both sides of the giant elephants with all speed, wielding knives and spears, attacking towards Pingyang City, as if protected by God, fearing no death.

The commanders of the Tianfeng Kingdom bit the bone whistle at the edge of their mouths, through the vast snow, staring dead ahead at the brilliant lights atop Pingyang City Gate, tightly clutching the armrests of their seats, and blew a high-pitched tone through the bone whistle.

The elephant tamers sitting at the neck of the giant elephants heard the whistle sound, looking towards the direction of their own commander, the high-pitched whistle sound echoed again, the elephant tamers pulled the escape ropes, fists clenched, roaring as they broke open the heavy collar buckles winding tightly around the elephant’s necks.

The collar buckles were unlocked, and the heavy collars burdening the elephants fell to the ground amidst the elephant’s cries, causing the earth to tremble. The giant elephants began to gallop wildly, charging towards Pingyang City.

The elephants ran faster and faster, nearly throwing Li Tianfu off. The elephant tamer controlling the giant elephant Li Tianfu rode, due to language barriers, said nothing but hoisted Li Tianfu onto his shoulder, clutching the ropes, sliding down from the increasing speed of the giant elephant beneath them, Li Tianfu’s ears filled with the sound of the wind, looking towards the ground... could only see afterimages, the wind and snow stinging her face painfully!

Li Tianfu’s mind tightened, she opened her eyes wide watching them get closer and closer to the ground, thinking the Tianfeng Kingdom’s elephant tamer was going to jump down with her, shouted loudly: "Too fast! Jumping will kill us!"

The elephant tamer couldn’t understand what Li Tianfu was saying, clutching the rope with one hand, pressing firmly into the armor’s grooves on the elephant’s back stabilizing his figure, seeing the cavalry rapidly catching up, he directly tossed Li Tianfu down...

Li Tianfu opened her wide eyes, all she could see was the wind and snow, she screamed thinking she was going to die here, thinking the Tianfeng Kingdom had gone mad, trying to kill her too, but unexpectedly, the Tianfeng cavalry caught her steadily, Li Tianfu’s heart nearly jumped out of her throat.

Li Tianfu looked at the soldier who caught her, then glanced aside, seeing the Tianfeng Kingdom’s Elephant Army general also caught by cavalry, their horses rapidly slowing down, witnessing all the while the giant elephants charging towards Pingyang City, Li Tianfu, whose heartbeat had yet to calm from the escape, couldn’t help but reveal a crazed smile, this time with the giant elephants clearing the way, Bai Qingyan was surely doomed!

On Pingyang City’s wall, Shen Kunyang noticed the giant elephants turning and charging towards the city, tightly gripping his sword at his waist, walked steadily towards the ballista, shouting: "Ballista ready! Archers ready!"

The ballista operators cranked their machines, three thick crossbow arrows were positioned properly.

"Release!"

At Shen Kunyang’s command, massive crossbow arrows mixed into a rain of arrows shot into the dark night sky, shortly thereafter rushing towards the Xiliang and Tianfeng armies from high above, arrows like rain, several times faster than falling snow, making them unavoidable, screams merged with the sound of arrows whistling through the snowy night airtime.

Yet Bai Qingyan stood under the swaying large lantern, his expression cold and grave, saying: "Uncle Shen, don’t worry, with A Yu and General Cheng here... the city gates will not fall!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
