Chapter 870: Chapter 867: Defeated by Human Nature

Therefore, the Pingyang Army can only fight to the death, retreating is absolutely not an option!

Wang Meng noticed the wavering morale within the Pingyang Army due to the appearance of the black banner with the white python insignia. He shouted loudly, "Soldiers! The Emperor is inside the Imperial City. If we retreat... the Imperial City will surely fall! We are Jin Kingdom’s last line of defense! We must swear to die here before retreating! That Princess of Zhen is a dying woman, she is no match for us! Soldiers, if you defeat the Princess of Zhen, you will be soldiers who have conquered the undefeated war god! Our army will be victorious, becoming the invincible divine force! We must enter Dadu City quickly! Attack!"

On the city wall, Ji Tingyu, hearing Wang Meng’s shout, had a murderous gleam in his eyes. He raised his arm high, "Archers, ready!"

Whistling arrows screamed down from the top of Dadu City’s tower, and the unshielded Pingyang Army soldiers fell in waves, crying out in agony.

Wang Meng’s deputy general rushed to the rear, leading troops to resist the army led by Bai Qingyan. However, just as he raised his bow and barely had time to aim, he saw a cold gleam whistling toward him. He hadn’t reacted before the arrow pierced through his throat.

Wang Meng’s deputy general spat out fresh blood, feeling the hot blood flood his throat, and he toppled straight off his horse.

"General!"

"It... it’s the Princess of Zhen!" someone from the Pingyang Army shouted.

The Sun-Shooting Bow’s arrows never missed. Once released, they would inevitably pass through throats and draw blood. In the entire Jin Kingdom, only the Princess of Zhen possessed such horrifying and heart-pounding archery.

In the distance, among the clouds of rolling yellow sand, the black banner with the white python insignia fluttered and waves of black-armored soldiers surged forward, holding high their golden spears and charging with earth-shattering battle cries, making ears buzz.

Some soldiers in the Pingyang Army, who hadn’t heard Wang Meng’s shout, adjusted their helmets and looked dazedly at the approaching arrow rain. "Is the Princess of Zhen attacking the wrong people?!"

Another Pingyang soldier quickly pulled his companion back under the shield, shouting, "Nonsense! The one inside Dadu City is the Princess of Zhen’s younger sister! Did she make a mistake?!"

"But... that’s the Princess of Zhen! The Bai family is a loyal and righteous household!"

Just as the words left the Pingyang soldier’s mouth, he heard the "swish, swish, swish" of the arrow rain passing by his ears. Cries of pain filled the air around him. He felt the powerful impact of the arrows as they continuously pierced his shield, numbing his arms from the force.

As the black-armored cavalry with the black banner and white python insignia rapidly closed in, the ground beneath them trembled more and more violently. The stones seemed to leap with their speed, keeping pace with the beating hearts of the soldiers.

As the arrow rain ceased, the Pingyang soldiers poked their heads out from behind their porcupine-like shields. They saw a figure riding a white horse, clad in silver armor, leaping over their heads with a long spear in hand. As they caught sight of the fluttering red cape, a cold gleam slashed their throats, and blood sprayed forth.

The chainmail-clad cavalry had already crashed into the Pingyang Army’s shield formation, commencing a massacre.

Bai Qingyan charged in front, killing amidst the Pingyang Army with her red tassel spear, taking lives wherever it struck. Her silver armor was stained with blood, like a blood-soaked demon, and her warhorse neighed fiercely, exuding an aura of death.

Bai Jinxiu stood atop the city wall, drawing her bow and aiming around Bai Qingyan, afraid that anyone might harm her.

She looked at her elder sister, unyielding and proud in the face of enemies, tears welling up in her eyes. She never thought she would see her sister on the battlefield again, nor did she expect to witness the valiant Commander Bai of the Bai family army fighting fiercely.

Despite being surrounded by enemies, Bai Qingyan’s aura of a true warrior soaked in blood and battle was so intimidating that no enemy dared to confront her directly. Wherever her silver spear flashed, no enemy survived. freewёbnoνel.com
