Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Chapter 177: Unstoppable_1

Bai Qingyan’s words had just fallen when Xiao Ruohai immediately threw the Wengshan map from his chest to Shen Liangyu. Shen Liangyu received the map, shook it open with one hand, and at the sight of an incredibly detailed map of Wengshan, his eyes became hot. With this map and Young General Bai, victory was certain. Not daring to hesitate, he shouted: “I accept the order!”

Shen Liangyu accepted the order, led the Huying Camp to depart, and prepared to ascend the mountain from the side to cover the thousand troops led by Bai Qingyan.

“Xiao Ruohai!”

Hearing the call, Xiao Ruohai quickened his pace and stepped forward: “At your service!”

“I order you to lead a team of twenty-five, carrying the Bai family’s army flag, and rush up the eastern canyon as quickly as possible. Unfurl the Bai family army flag in the eastern canyon to intimidate the Xiliang army in the canyon!”

Xiao Ruohai gritted his teeth and nodded: “I accept the order!”

“Bai Jinzhi!”

Hearing the Eldest Young Lady calling her, Bai Jinzhi instantly felt her blood boiling. She immediately urged her horse forward to accept the order: “Bai Jinzhi at your service!”

“This battle, you must not be more than two steps away from me! Violate and be punished by military law!”

Bai Jinzhi was slightly stunned, then immediately asked: “Eldest Young Lady! Why did they all receive military orders, but I have to stay with you?! You’re looking down on me!”

This was truly the first time Little Four had been on the battlefield, and at this moment… she understood her father’s worry for her. No matter how valiant, her father wanted to keep her close, just as she did now for Bai Jinzhi.

“Time is tight. Now I only have the Shoot the Sun Bow. You can protect the Eldest Young Lady in close combat by staying beside me!”

These words were not only to keep Bai Jinzhi close for her own protection but were true…

Time was pressing, and she had only just picked up the Shoot the Sun Bow again. Though she held the red-tasseled silver spear, she couldn’t dominate the battlefield as she once did with it. But she had to carry this red-tasseled silver spear as a symbol. The warhorse, silver spear, and Shoot the Sun Bow—when the Bai family army saw them, they would know she had arrived!

Just like the Bai family army flag standing there, it would boost the morale of all Bai family soldiers.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinzhi was inspired again: “Yes! Bai Jinzhi, at your command!”

After saying that, Bai Jinzhi touched the military flag she had secretly carried in her chest. Unexpectedly, she also touched the Commander’s Seal. She hurriedly took it out and handed it to Bai Qingyan: “Eldest Young Lady! The Commander’s Seal!”

The map had long been imprinted in Bai Qingyan’s heart. She led the troops to take a shortcut with the speed that the Xiliang army could not imagine, quickly arriving at Wengshan Canyon.

Above Wengshan Canyon, the hawks that always accompanied Yun Poxing’s expeditions screeched and circled.

In the canyon, the sound of killing was deafening. Blood flowed like rivers, mud splattered, broken spears, shattered shields, and countless corpses and severed limbs were everywhere! _{freēwebnovel.com}

Soldiers stepped on the bodies of enemies or comrades, wielding large knives and long spears, each one fighting with blood-red eyes.

Huying Camp’s crossbow arrows followed, causing the Xiliang army below to howl in agony. Many Xiliang soldiers fell from the canyon, creating chaos in the Xiliang army.

The Xiliang archers aimed their arrows at the higher position at the connection between Jiuqu Peak and Wengshan but couldn’t hit Huying Camp due to their lower position.

Shen Liangyu gritted his teeth, swiftly running up the mountain using ropes, and took the Bai family army flag from his back. He held the flagpole tightly with both hands and, with a roar, planted the flag at the mountain top!

At the top, where everyone could see it, the black sail and white python flag fluttered in the wind!

“It’s the black sail white python flag! It’s the Bai family army!”

“It’s the Bai family army! The brothers of Huying Camp must be here!”

The Bai family soldiers in the valley were ecstatic, their morale boosted. They fought with redoubled vigor, shouting: “The elite soldiers of the Bai family army, our sword’s edge is unstoppable! Charge!”

Even Zhang Duanrui, who was leading soldiers to occupy the high ground on the west side of the canyon, felt his blood boiling and roared: “Release the arrows!”

Following the map, Bai Qingyan took a shortcut, emerging from the eastern middle section of Wengshan Canyon. Because the overall terrain on the eastern side of Wengshan Canyon was high, the slope was very gentle.

Speed was of the essence. To quickly reach the top and catch the Xiliang army off guard, Bai Qingyan ordered the soldiers to ride their horses up.

By the time the Xiliang army noticed the thousand Jin soldiers, Huying Camp was already covering the Jin army with crossbow arrows as they charged up Wengshan on horseback, engaging in close combat with the Xiliang army.
