After being reborn in the Mass Grave, she overturned her predecessor's power

The army of Qingwu City guarded the city gates and refused to leave the city, and the two sides were in a stalemate for several days.

Jiang Xue Ning wanted a quick victory and didn't want to drag it out. So after figuring out the opponent's defensive layout, she decisively said, "Break the city by force."

The sky was overcast that night, and 10,000 advance siege troops, equipped with flying hooks and ladders, set out to attack the city by force.

They flew up with the help of grappling hooks, or climbed up on ladders with shields and spears.

Soon, horns sounded at the entire city gate, torches were lit on the city wall, and rolling stones, arrows and fireballs were thrown down continuously to prevent their people from going up.

The two sides fought fiercely. Bingtong and Ye Qingjiu were excellent martial artists. Relying on their lightness skills, they took their secret guards and, under the cover of the siege army, saw the right moment to climb up the wall.

The enemy had obviously made adequate preparations to prevent them from attacking by force. The two sides fought fiercely and could not break through the city gate.

Duan Xilou said, "General Hua is indeed very experienced."

Jiang Xue Ning held the red cherry spear and said, "It depends on what happens to the people inside."

About a year ago, under her plan, people sneaked into Qingwu City one after another, just for today's battle.

Whether the city gate can be broken depends on their cooperation inside.

In Qingwu city, there were fires in several places and the city was in chaos.

General Hua led the army to guard the city gate and said calmly, "Don't panic, guard the city gate."

The incident happened in an instant, and rockets were fired at them from all directions, causing chaos.

In the chaos, the rumbling sound of gunpowder exploding under the city wall was terrifying.

A gap was blown in the city wall by gunpowder, and Ye Qingjiu led his men to attack, while the secret guards lurking in the city also showed up to respond.

Once the city wall is breached, defense is no longer effective, and the only option is to fight!

Hua Zhanwei shouted, "Open the city gate!"

He raised the long sword in his hand, "All soldiers, follow me and kill!"

Seeing that the city gate was open, Jiang Xue Ning also raised the red cherry spear in her hand, "Kill!"

The two armies soon engaged in a melee. She was so bloodthirsty that her arms soon began to ache.

The moon emerged from the dark clouds, illuminating the earth. Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting in a chaotic battle, the air was filled with the smell of blood, and the roars resounded through the sky.

The soldiers fought desperately, and soon the ground was littered with corpses and blood.

Duan Xilou and Fang Li surrounded Hua Zhanwei from the left and right. He fought calmly, but soon he was exhausted. A feeling of sadness surged in his heart. After all, he was old.

Duan Xilou said as he fought, "Xiao Linfeng is not worthy of the old general risking his life for him, and he is even less worthy of so many soldiers risking their lives for him."

"As long as the old general surrenders, the prince will certainly treat him with courtesy."

"Hmph, no need to persuade me anymore!" He struggled to resist the attacks of both men, "I, Hua Zhanwei, only believe in death in battle, not surrender!"

"Defending Xiling is our responsibility as Xiling warriors."

Although his positions are different, it has to be said that as a veteran he has his own persistence and beliefs.

Fighting to the end with all their might is their greatest respect for the old general!

After the killing, Jiang Xue Ning was covered in blood and felt numb all over.

After all, they had an overwhelming numerical advantage and soon could not hold on and were defeated. Shen Zhaoyan had already led a group of people into the city gate.

Jiang Xue Ning also led people to kill inside, and the people closed their doors and windows and trembled in fear.

This was the order given by Hua Zhanwei, asking all citizens to stay indoors. No matter what the outcome of this battle was, he did not want to implicate innocent people.

He was certain that Jiang Xue Ning would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and she would not touch the civilians as long as they did not attack actively.

After entering the city gate, she strode up to the city wall. Shen Zhaoyan had already pulled out the flag of Xiling, and she personally raised the flag of Xiangchu.

"Put down your weapons and surrender!"

As he shouted, Hua Zhanwei was also shot dead by Duan Xiluo.

"General Hua..."

He slowly closed his eyes amidst the sorrowful shouts. He lived up to Xiling and the armor on his body and fought to the end!

Duan Xilou ordered, "Carry the old general's body inside, and don't let the war horses trample it."

"The commander is dead, lay down your weapons and surrender!"

Amidst shout after shout, the Xiling army, which was already losing ground, became greatly disturbed and completely lost its morale.

Soon the Hunan and Chu armies swept the entire battlefield, and when the first ray of sunlight broke through the darkness and shone onto the earth, the outcome was decided.

"We win, we win!"

She looked at the blood-stained battlefield with mixed feelings. Shen Zhaoyan had come to her side without her noticing, "There are always sacrifices in war."

As the sun rose, the army began to enter the city, but the people still kept their doors and windows closed.

Almost all the officials who were not killed in the city knelt down. Jiang Xue Ning was not killed, but was placed under house arrest until Jiang Li sent someone to take over the matter.

They just had to attack Shengjing, and the captured cities would be taken over by people sent by Xiangchu.

The body of General Hua was placed outside the general's mansion. Only the servants and the old soldiers who had helped him with chores in the mansion after taking off their armor cried for him after his death.

He was born in a poor family and joined the army for food. He fought for Xiling all his life, never married and had no children. He died alone.

Jiang Xue Ning covered him with the Xiling flag and toasted him with a bowl of wine, "Rest in peace, old general."

Because their army entered the city, the people were frightened. On the day of General Hua's burial, they wore mourning clothes, opened the doors and windows, and scattered paper money wherever the coffin passed.

They sobbed softly, crying for him and even more for their own uncertain future.

"Rest in peace, old general..."

After burying him, they stayed in Qingwu City to rest, and Jiang Li quickly sent officials to take over.

Wu Jin entered the room and said, "The latest news. The 100,000 reinforcements sent by the imperial court turned back halfway and fled upon hearing the news."

They were making great progress and an army of one hundred thousand was no match for them.

"There seems to be some movement in Yandi as well. It seems that Xiao Linfeng's luck has run out."

Speaking of Yandi, she said to Bingtong, "If you want to witness Helian Mu's death, you can go there now."

"Qiao Xue, the daughter of the Qiao family, is a capable person. She has been lying dormant until now, and it is time for her to take action."

It was Qiao Xue who took the initiative to write to her and contact her, which was very bold. The Qiao family members had indeed died unjustly back then, and she was out of reach in Xiangchu.

So he helped her to establish contact with Qingzhou and promised that if Helian Mu died, Qingzhou would send troops to help her control Yan.

Although she hadn't heard from her since the chaos, she thought now was the best time.

Bing Tong immediately said, "Even if I can't kill him myself, I want to see his head."

She and Ye Qingjiu packed up and headed towards Yan that evening.

The news of the fall of Qingwu City quickly spread everywhere.

Shen Zhaoyan said with a malicious look, "I wonder if Xiao Linfeng will spit out blood after receiving the news."

Jiang Xue Ning was worried about Gu Shengsheng's safety...
