Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1213

Chapter 1213: Chapter 1207: Fallen Into the Trap

Xiao Rongyan’s eyes beneath the mask were deep, cold, and devoid of warmth. His mask, splattered with blood, made him look like a vicious demon returning from hell.

Yue Shi, riding a magnificent horse, finally broke through the layers of Xiliang troops to Xiao Rongyan’s side, covering his left flank entirely.

On the city wall, the Zhou soldiers saw the reinforcements and raised their arms in a triumphant cheer.

Bai Qingyan turned, her voice urgent yet steady, shouting loudly, "The Yan reinforcements have arrived! Order them not to throw smoke bombs down the city wall. Zhou soldiers, do not spare any arrows; fight this battle with everything! Make sure Xiliang leaves with nothing!"

On the city wall, not only the Zhou soldiers but also the civilians raised their voices in high-spirited shouts, echoing far and wide.

The sudden appearance of Yan reinforcements was like a shot of adrenaline to the Zhou soldiers, sweeping away their earlier fatigue. Their blood boiled, emotions surged, and they howled their desire to fight to the death with the Xiliang army.

"Liu Pinggao!" Bai Qingyan drew an arrow, aiming in Xiao Rongyan’s direction.

"At your command!" Liu Pinggao, who was shooting arrows, responded promptly.

Bai Qingyan released an arrow toward Xiao Rongyan and loudly ordered, "Instruct you and Du Sanbao to draw half of the forces defending the city wall, exit the city immediately... to join forces with the Yan on the outside, at all costs to capture Xiliang’s main commander Cui Shanzhong alive!"

"Liu Pinggao accepts the order!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

As soon as Liu Pinggao saw the Yan army’s flag, his blood surged with excitement, having been waiting for Bai Qingyan’s order.

Soon, the city gates slowly opened, Liu Pinggao and Du Sanbao rode out at the front, leading the Zhou soldiers in a swarm, fiercely fighting to the death.

For a moment, the dust rose outside Jiangzi City, and the sounds of battle grew louder.

Fierce horses collided, soldiers from both sides fought, the clanging of weapons sparked fire and splattered.

Compared to the earlier cries that shook the fields, the current battle cries and roars were so intense they seemed to reach the heavens.

The Zhou soldiers saw their comrades charging out, and the archers immediately restrained their arrows, unlike earlier when they shot with all their might. Afraid of injuring their own, they now aimed carefully before shooting.

The civilians tightly gripped the city gate’s winch, trembling with fear, waiting to close the gate once the soldiers were out; they didn’t want the Xiliang army to enter the city.

The two iron-clad giant elephants brought by Yan rampaged across the battlefield, indiscriminately crushing both foes and allies, leaving a trail of death and blood.

General Cui’s eyes widened in surprise. How was Yan here?!

That was... the banner of the Yan Imperial Family!

Wasn’t Yan supposed to be on its way to Yunjing, competing with Zhou over who would capture it first? How did they come to Jiangzi City to aid the Zhou Emperor?!

In front of those two iron-clad giant elephants, the Xiliang troops were like ants, utterly unable to resist, either trampled or gored to death!

"How many troops did Yan bring?" General Cui shouted, "Where are the scouts?! Why haven’t they reported?!"

The Yan army reached right under our noses, yet the scouts failed to detect them!

"General! The Yan came too fast; our scouts couldn’t report back in time!" the Xiliang commander beside him shouted, "General, we should retreat! There’s definitely more than five thousand troops inside Jiangzi City; they’ve opened the gate and charged out. It’s likely a deception, waiting to collaborate with Yan from the inside and outside. Our current forces are our last hope for Xiliang!"
