Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The next morning, Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo led their troops to prepare their gear and assemble outside the military camp.

There were ten thousand soldiers, all wearing armor. Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo were sitting astride their horses, looking very majestic.

The rising autumn sun shines on their resolute faces, making them look heroic and high-spirited.

Before dark, 5,000 elite soldiers quickly arrived at the Changfeng River area of ​​Yancheng. Cheng Tiankuo ordered the soldiers to rest in place and intercept the Beidi people tomorrow.

Lu Zhiling had also led another 5,000 elite soldiers to a place not far from the south gate of Yancheng, where they lay in ambush, waiting for the Northern Di people to arrive and encircle them first.

On the second day, before dawn, a group of Beidi people were ready to go, passing through Yancheng and about to reach Changfeng River.

There are mountains to the west of Yancheng and a river to the east. There is no other way to go except the two city gates in the north and south. At present, Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo are guarding the two city gates, one in the south and one in the north, waiting for the Beidi people to come.

This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so the Northern Di people fought hard to take Yancheng. But today, if they can take the north and south gates, the Northern Di people will be seriously injured.

Lu Zhiling and Cheng Tiankuo finally waited for the Beidi army to arrive.

The siege is about to begin.

The Northern Di people probably learned the news, so their troops stopped advancing, closed the city gates, and began to defend.

I saw countless arrows shot down from the top of the city.

Cheng Tiankuo was outside the north gate, leading the soldiers, using shields to protect themselves, setting up ladders, and charging forward recklessly.

Not long after, probably because the Northern Di people were temporarily confused, the siege was effective. Cheng Tiankuo quickly climbed to the top of the wall, and the soldiers shouted and rushed towards the city gate.

Cheng Tiankuo has already occupied the northern city wall, and Lu Zhiling is also leading his soldiers in a bloody battle and is about to capture the southern city wall.

Suddenly, the city gate opened and a large number of people poured out, including the elderly and women, most of whom were citizens of Dali.

When the war started, the civilians suffered. At this moment, they were driven out by the Northern Di people. They fled for their lives regardless of everything, and many Northern Di soldiers rushed out among them.

Many people were pushed to the ground, and before they could get up, they were trampled by countless people behind them. Screams mixed with shrill cries, and the scene became a mess.

Lu Zhiling also encountered the same situation.

Cheng Tiankuo and Lu Zhiling did not dare to shoot any more arrows for a while. There were so many people around, so they could only disperse the people and intercept the Northern Di army.

Not long after, Prince Yu Huangqing of Beidi led his troops and rushed out personally.

Cheng Tiankuo’s face was covered in blood, and he didn’t know whether it was his blood or someone else’s. He shouted, “Brothers, kill them!”

For a moment, accompanied by the shouts of charging into battle, sharp arrows whizzing past, the sounds of swords clashing, screams, and the air was filled with an increasingly strong smell of blood.

Yu Huangqing sat high on his horse, his eyes full of bloodthirsty cruelty. He looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and smiled cruelly.

Lu Zhiling, who was fighting at the south gate, also encountered a lot of attacks from refugees. Only then did he react and quickly led a large army to the north gate.

When Lu Zhiling arrived, the Northern soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, but Cheng Tiankuo was still resisting desperately.

Lu Zhiling became anxious and quickly raised his spear and stabbed towards Yu Huangqing.

I heard that the Northern Di Prince Yu Huangqing was brave and good at fighting, and General Xie Yu died in his relentless attacks.

Yu Huangqing sneered: "You don't know your own limitations." He raised his scimitar and swung it forward.

Although Lu Zhiling had fought with Xie Yunsong for many years, he was no match for Yu Huangqing. After several rounds of fighting, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

If this continues, the Northern soldiers will soon be defeated, and the Northern Di will march straight into the Northern camp.

At this time, a group of people came from afar.

The horse came quickly and soon got closer. The man on the horse was wearing silver armor that shimmered in the sun and his eyes were shining sharply.

Cheng Tiankuo was delighted, "General!"

Without saying a word, Xie Yunsong picked up his spear and stabbed towards Yu Huangqing.

As soon as Xie Yunsong arrived, the morale of the soldiers from the northern border increased greatly, and everyone picked up their knives and started a new round of fighting.

Last night, Bai Zhiyuan lay on the couch thinking and unable to fall asleep, and overheard the battle plan of Xie Yunsong, Cheng Tiankuo and Lu Zhiling.

They divided their troops into three groups, Cheng Tiankuo was in charge of the north gate of Yancheng, and Lu Zhiling was in charge of the south gate of Yancheng. The purpose was to lure out the Northern Di Prince Yu Huangqing, and then Xie Yunsong would personally lead the charge and successfully recapture Yancheng.

Today, everything went according to plan.

Only Bai Zhiyuan was an accident.

That's right. She thought about it and realized that after Cheng Tiankuo and Lu Zhiling led their troops away today, she deliberately pretended to ignore Xie Yunsong. In fact, she had already secretly dressed up as a man, smeared a lot of black powder on her face, and put on armor. After Xie Yunsong led his troops away and sneaked out of the camp, she didn't dare to follow too closely, so she could only follow from a distance, after all, everyone in the barracks knew her.

Finally arriving outside Yancheng, Xie Yunsong sat on his horse and was not in a hurry to send out his troops. The sound of fighting continued to come from the front, and Bai Zhiyuan's heart was full of passion and fantasy of going into battle to kill the enemy.

Xie Yunsong didn't allow her to come, so she came secretly, just like he didn't allow her to come to the northern border, but she came secretly.

Finally, after Yu Huangqing came out, the soldier came to report.

Xie Yunsong sat on his horse, waved his hand, and swept his sharp eyes across the crowd, shouting, "Kill!"

The blood of the soldiers was boiling, including many new recruits. This was their first time to fight on the battlefield, and the hard training of the past few months could finally be demonstrated at this moment.

The soldiers followed General Yun Hui and rushed forward, and Bai Zhiyuan, who had been hiding in the dark, finally couldn't hold back and followed.

The entire city gate was filled with soldiers, shouting at the top of their lungs. The fearless soldiers had blood on their faces and were waving their bloody weapons. The sounds of fighting and the clash of swords resounded through the sky, and all they could see were broken limbs and bodies, and blood was flowing everywhere.

Bai Zhiyuan stood in the distance, watching a soldier's head being chopped off and rolling down to her feet. She was almost dizzy from the intense stimulation. When she saw soldiers falling down and screaming under the tower, while the dead soldiers under the wall were motionless, her ears were filled with the deafening sound of fighting, her eyes were filled with blood, and her nose was filled with the smell of blood drifting in the wind.

At this moment, she suddenly understood why Xie Yunsong didn't allow her to come.

She had learned martial arts since she was young and had injured people with her sword, but she had never seen such a cruel war. She had always lived in the peaceful and happy Shangjing and had never known that there was a place in the world where corpses were everywhere and there was suffering.

Both her father Bai Tingxuan and Xie Yunsong tried their best to protect her and prevent her from seeing such a cruel scene, but she insisted on going in by herself.

She now had the opportunity to kill the enemy bravely as she had imagined last night, but her legs suddenly went weak and she was unable to move.

She looked at the bloodstains and flying limbs not far away. She clenched her sword and then released it several times. Cold sweat kept oozing from her forehead and she shuddered violently.

At this moment, a civilian woman not far away was desperately protecting the crying little girl in her arms, but she ran into the Beidi people who rushed out and chopped the woman to the ground with a knife. The little girl crawled out of her mother's arms and cried loudly beside the corpse.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't bear it any longer. She blinked and ran desperately towards the little girl. She killed the Beidi man who was holding a knife towards the little girl with one sword, quickly picked up the little girl, and ran to a safe place.

Turning his head again, he saw a soldier from the northern border being strangled by the Beidi people. Bai Zhiyuan rushed over, aimed at the Beidi soldier who was strangling him, and chopped him down with all his strength. The Beidi soldier's neck was broken, and his head rolled down, spurting blood and splashing on Bai Zhiyuan's face.

She opened her blood-blurred eyes and saw a Northern Di man rushing towards her. She gritted her teeth and joined the fight. She chopped down one, and then there was another. There were so many Northern Di men that she could never kill them all.
