Chapter 863 - 860: Surprise Troops
"Wait a moment, Fifth Sister!" Bai Jinhua called out to stop her. She gazed at the soldiers attacking like a massive black wave in the distance and said, "Eldest Young Lady is far away in Daliang. Judging by the time, it’s impossible for her to return so quickly! We don’t know friend from foe. This might be Li Mingrui’s trick to lure us into opening the city gates! So, Fifth Sister... it’s safer to defend Shuoyang City to the death!"
Gasping for breath, Bai Jinzhao felt that Bai Jinhua was right. Her passionate spirit calmed down, and she nodded.
Bai Qingping, upon seeing the black sail and white python flag, almost lost his head in excitement. After listening to Bai Jinhua’s words, he hurriedly called out, "Beat the drums! Be on guard!"
Quickly, the first row of archers got back in position on the city wall, aiming at a distance, while the second and third rows of archers squatted below the wall, ready to replace them at any moment.
The soldiers and civilians of Shuoyang took advantage of this breath of relief to transport more supplies to the city wall in preparation for the next fierce battle.
Li Mingrui led his troops northward to flee. The soldiers attacking Shuoyang, under the leadership of the one-armed Ji Tingyu, turned direction like a vast river, surging northward to intercept and kill Li Mingrui’s imperial guard.
Tightly gripping her bow and arrow, Bai Jinzhao watched the unknown army outside Shuoyang City surround and hunt down Li Mingrui’s imperial guard with swift and fierce momentum, annihilating them. The scene was profoundly stirring. This was the battlefield!
The battle outside the city continued. The archers squatting on the city wall had sweat the size of beans dripping down their foreheads, but not a single person dared to slack off.
The suddenly emerged army’s combat power was so fierce that if they attacked the city after destroying the enemy troops, they couldn’t be unprepared.
