Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1571

Chapter 1571: Chapter 1566: Truly Honored

He turned his head to look at the dark-robed counselor: "Such an obvious flaw is shown to us, isn’t it to lure us to climb the mountain from another place? If my guess as the Crown Prince is correct, the Emperor of Zhou must have already set an ambush."

The dark-robed counselor was about to speak when the Crown Prince of Xiping raised a hand to stop him.

"War is a game of deceit... Reality mixed with falsehood, I bet that this huge flaw shown by the Emperor of Zhou is precisely to lure us into a bigger trap!" The Crown Prince of Xiping said confidently, "The Emperor of Zhou must have run out of tricks!"

With that, the Crown Prince of Xiping drew his sword and shouted, "Charge up!"

"Your Highness! You mustn’t!"

The dark-robed counselor’s voice was drowned out by the raucous shouts of the Xiping army soldiers, as he could only watch as the Crown Prince of Xiping led the Xiping army charging up the mountain.

Archers of Zhou hidden in the high trees watched the Xiping army rushing towards the flaming peak. Some pulled their bowstrings taut, others aimed crossbow arrows at the ground below but did not fire, waiting patiently for Bai Qingyan’s whistle command.

Bai Qingyan and the other soldiers of Zhou hid behind the trees, holding their breath and waiting patiently...

Hearing the sound of the Xiping army charging up, Bai Qingyan peeked out from behind a tree, looking down the mountain, already seeing the advance troops of the Xiping army holding high torches rushing up.

Bai Qingyan bit down on the bone whistle, drew her bow and nocked an arrow, steadying herself...

She needed more of the Xiping army to come up, even more!

The Xiping army was still fifty paces from where Bai Qingyan had the soldiers pile snowballs... then thirty paces... then twenty paces...

Bai Qingyan bit down hard on the bone whistle and blew forcefully, releasing her grip, sending the arrow whistling out.

At the sound of the whistle, the archers hiding in the trees unleashed their arrows, the showering arrows descended from high in the woods like a massacre, screams echoed all around.

Before the Xiping army could react, they raised their bows to shoot at the dark high trees, while the soldiers using ropes pulled logs blocking the path, dragged them aside with shouts.

Snowballs wrapped with stones rolled down from the high slopes one after the other...

The snowballs crashing into the big trees with a tremendous noise, causing the trees to shake and snow to scatter like salt, making it impossible for the Xiping army soldiers to see the conditions on the tree.

The snowballs, wrapped with stones to add weight, rolled faster and faster as they smashed into the Xiping army soldiers, toppling them like dominoes...

Showering arrows and rolling snowballs, screams echoed one after another.

"Ambush! Ambush!" The Xiping army’s vanguard general shouted loudly, "Retreat! Retreat!"

Bai Qingyan seized the opportunity, drew her bow... and shot in the direction of the sound!

The Xiping army’s vanguard general had no time to finish his shout of "Retreat" before gripping his throat and kneeling on the ground, his eyes wide open looking at the seemingly within reach roaring flames in the distance.

Her eyes were cold and deep, she bit the bone whistle and again blew forcefully...
