Chapter 215 Reinforcements have arrived
Chapter 215 Reinforcements have arrived
Outside the city, the Vietnamese and North Korean reinforcements finally arrived and began to attack the city.
General Tu Ning's confident smile quickly disappeared when his own men were blown into pieces.
Amidst his defeat, he finally encountered his only chance of a turnaround.
"General, we found a little girl who is suspected to be the eldest daughter of the Emperor of the Yue Dynasty."
The Vietnamese military camp on the other side also received the news.
"Report - General, the reinforcements that infiltrated have news about His Highness."
The person sitting in the commander's seat was Lei Ning. At this moment, he looked completely different from the person he was in front of the sand table and when he was in Beijing.
It was hard for anyone to believe that this dignified and calm commander was the honest and simple-minded General of the Jinwu Guard.
Upon hearing the news from the princess, Lei Ning and his subordinates were all nervous, fearing that it was bad news.
Although their army was a step slower because their baggage and gunpowder were damp, the rescue team had already been sent out.
But no trace of Princess Tianwu was found.
I don’t know if she hid too well or her head and body were already separated.
Being in a den of thieves is always dangerous.
Everyone comforted each other, thinking that no news was the best news, as it at least proved that the princess had not fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The news brought by the soldiers was neither good nor bad, but rather: "Your Highness is safe and is hiding from the enemy."
"But they also hid their own people. They are continuing the search."
"We found Lady Lei first."
Lei Ning reacted for a moment before remembering that this Madam Lei was referring to his eldest daughter Nian'er.
He smiled and praised, "Okay, okay, let's settle Nian'er first."
"The most important thing is to search for the princess first."
"Go tell Nian'er that I will go see her when I have time."
......
The Yue army was attacking fiercely in front of them, so Tu Ning had no way to hunt down Bei Jingchu with all their strength, but they also had many people to capture him.
But even if Bei Jingchu was exhausted, the two of them had been forced into a corner by being attacked from both sides.
Yan Wei held a knife across her face, preventing anyone from grabbing a single hair on her.
He looked brave and courageous, but Bei Jingchu could see that his symptoms had recurred.
【Why at this time...】
Yan Wei frowned, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead like rain.
[He can’t hold on any longer.]
"Yan Wei, come down, let me take over."
He didn't listen and continued to harvest wave after wave of locust-like enemy troops as if he were chopping melons and vegetables.
If you haven't experienced his last attack, you know how painful it is for him.
Bei Jingchu really thought that he was fine and he could still hold on.
"Yan Wei, step back first and take a rest."
He doesn't listen.
He continued to swing the knife in his hand.
More enemies fell.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't hold on any longer and fell to one knee, but struggled to stand up again.
Bei Jingchu stepped forward, took the knife from Yan Wei's hand, and forcibly cleared a piece of space.
Suddenly, the attackers stopped.
A man cursed in an incomprehensible language: "A bunch of rubbish."
"I can't even catch a child. I want to see if this child is from Tengri."
The crowd made way for him and he walked over.
The Tuning man dressed as a general walked straight towards Bei Jingchu.
Bei Jingchu was breathing heavily. If this man wasn't a drunkard, she wouldn't have the strength to fight him.
Even if he didn't go into battle himself, Bei Jingchu didn't have the strength to face this protracted war of attrition.
Yan Wei covered his chest and tried to stand up again, but he couldn't resist the pain in his body.
The Tuning general on the opposite side stretched out his hand to her and said in the unfamiliar Vietnamese dialect: "Little princess, come to me obediently."
"Come here, I won't hurt you."
He tried to look kind and benevolent in order to lure the children.
But his ferocious appearance, which had been responsible for countless deaths, made his gentle appearance completely unconvincing.
Bei Jingchu held the long knife in his hand across his neck. Although he was in a weak position, his momentum was not diminished at all.
"What you want is a living person who can threaten my Aye, but what if it's a corpse?"
The person on the other side was stunned and was really frightened by her for a moment.
Since the kid had seen through his purpose, there was no need for him to pretend to be a good guy anymore. He revealed his true colors and threatened: "I heard that the people of the Yue Dynasty pay the most attention to being buried in peace. If I whip your corpse, do you think the Emperor of the Yue Dynasty will feel sorry for his daughter, and will your commander have any reservations?"
Bei Jingchu snorted and laughed: "Sure enough, it's despicable."
"Since you are threatening me and don't want me to die, it proves that I am more useful alive."
"So you can try and see if I dare you to cut my own throat."
She was not joking. If she fell into Tu Ning's hands and was used to threaten Yue Chao, she might as well commit suicide now!
General Tu Ning was shocked for a moment. How could a young child be so determined to face death?
Could it be that even the children in the royal family of the Yue Dynasty had unyielding integrity?
He didn't dare to act rashly again.
After calming down a bit, Bei Jingchu heard the familiar, incessant roar not far away.
She was slightly stunned.
[The Vietnamese reinforcements...finally arrived? ]
[No wonder more and more troops are coming to capture me, even the generals are here. ]
Bei Jingchu I tightened my grip on the hilt, and the long knife across my neck became more and more firm.
[Especially at times like this, when the odds are against us, we must not let down our guard.]
【We can’t let the bandits succeed. 】
Her delay paid off, as a dart hit the knife in her neck.
Bei Jingchu did not distinguish between friend and foe and raised his knife to block.
But the long knife was dropped from her neck.
Reinforcements gathered from all directions, and Yan Chao quickly squeezed next to Bei Jingchu.
"Your Highness, I am late...your face?"
【What's the point of reminiscing now...】
Bei Jingchu stopped her from continuing and said, "Don't worry about this for now, let's go."
Yan Chao noticed Yan Wei's condition, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk, so he took his men and escorted Bei Jingchu away first.
Bei Jingchu did not forget to instruct: "Find someone to carry Yan Zhong on his back."
The Vietnamese rescue team dragged their troops and quickly escaped the pursuit.
Passing through the city gate, on the city wall, there were portraits of the Ma family’s family members.
Dried corpse.
Of course, it’s not just people from the Ma Mansion, but she only recognizes people from the Ma Mansion.
It is not difficult to guess that the other corpses were also those of officials’ families.
In Bei Jingchu's imagination, the beast who attacked Xin'er would be killed by her order when Aye came to pick her up and she restored her identity.
Mrs. Ma, whom I only met once, left a deep impression on me. She is a shrewd woman.
Next to her is her aunt who came with her as a dowry.
She also recognized several ladies who had been taught by Nanny Yu.
The corpse was hung on the top of the city wall, exposed to the wind and sun, as a deterrent.
Whether good or bad.
Under the enemy's iron hoofs, they all became corpses.
As the two armies were engaged in battle, no one cared about them.
They are still hanging there, either to intimidate people or to inspire their fighting spirit.
