After being struck by lightning and being in the world of women

While Zhang Ji was delighted that Sun Liu was pregnant, she did not neglect her stepdaughter, Sun Younv.

She already has a daughter and granddaughter. Although she is happy that Sun Liu has a child, it proves that she is very capable and still strong.

But as a mature and stable middle-aged lady, she needs to consider all aspects.

Sun Younu herself has a title, but she eats and uses the food of the Duke's Mansion and temporarily lives in the Duke's Mansion.

Even if Sun Liu had a new child, it would not affect Sun Younv.

After all, this time Sun Liu was marrying someone instead of marrying a son-in-law, and the child took Zhang Ji's surname and was taken care of by Zhang Ji.

The relationship between me and Sun Younu is just that of half-sister or half-brother.

Zhang Ji raised Sun Younu for a month. Sun Younu was a well-behaved girl, so they developed some feelings for her.

Even if you raise a kitten or a puppy, you can develop feelings for it, let alone a child.

Zhang Ji treated Sun Younu the same as always and never let her feel disappointed.

.........

At Chaotian Pass, Zhong Ruhuang has been guarding the city for more than twenty days.

During these days, Gu Yunkai has been trying to attack the city, but unfortunately she failed every time. Of the 100,000 soldiers she brought, more than 40,000 have been killed in battle. Excluding the injured soldiers, there are less than 50,000 soldiers left who can fight.

Zhong Ruhuang also suffered casualties, but overall not many people died. Most of them were just injured and could recover after some recuperation.

Xia Yu has been watching and waiting, and even tried to send spies to Chaotian Pass.

Unfortunately, the gate of Chaotian Pass had been closed long ago, and the people in the city stayed quiet and did not come out.

Gu Yunkai fought more and more anxiously.

What she wanted was Zhong Ruhuang's head.

Used to exchange for her title.

But it has been almost a month, and Zhong Ruhuang's head is still on her neck.

Gu Yunkai is still naive.

Zhong Ruhuang has been guarding the South City Gate for more than twenty days and has been learning continuously.

There are more than 200,000 soldiers in Chaotian Pass, which is more than enough to defend the city.

For so many days, Zhong Ruhuang has never returned to the palace once.

The same goes for Lu Lingran and the others.

The weather is getting colder.

The cold wind has started to blow.

In such cold weather, Gu Yunkai had two blisters on his mouth due to inflammation, which showed how anxious he was.

Xia Yu waited and watched for more than twenty days and knew that the fifth princess Zhong Ruhuang was a steady person and would not leave Chaotian Pass easily.

Seeing Gu Yunkai's heavy losses, Xia Yu felt so happy.

When Gu Yunkai took the initiative to come to her to seek cooperation, Xia Yu smiled even more happily.

"Gu Yunkai, didn't you say you wouldn't ask me for help? What are you doing now?"

Xia Yu got the advantage but still wanted to be mean.

This smug look made Gu Yunkai clench his fists tightly, wishing he could punch her twice.

But she couldn't do that.

Gu Yunkai's face turned pale and he sat down aside without saying a word.

Xia Yu had ridiculed Gu Yunkai enough, so he said without hesitation: "You can cooperate, but you must obey my command."

Gu Yunkai nodded with a grim face.

That night, Xia Yu began to command the siege.

She adopted a strategy of fighting in shifts, attacking the city day and night.

Zhong Ruhuang took out her trump card, which she had not been willing to use before.

The entire Chaotian Pass has a population of nearly two million, and a lot of grains are produced every day.

Zhong Ruhuang had all of these accumulated.

Seeing that Xia Yu took over the command and was about to start a rotation battle.

She had a big pot set up on the top of the city wall and boiled some golden juice.

This time, all the arrows shot out were dipped in gold.

This thing was a powerful weapon in ancient times. Anyone shot by an arrow would die from wound infection or death.

Whoosh whoosh!

The entire battlefield was filled with an enticing smell.

Those who climbed up the siege ladders would be splashed with buckets of boiling gold juice by the defending soldiers, and would fall down with screams.

The smell is a bit unpleasant, but it works.

Using gold juice to defend a city has always been a tradition.

Zhong Ruhuang is not a charitable person.

She had been accumulating strength for so many days, just waiting for Xia Yu or Gu Yunkai to launch a round-robin attack. It would be best to wipe out most of their troops in one fell swoop, leaving them with no ability to attack the city, and ending the war as soon as possible.

When Xia Yu saw that Zhong Ruhuang used the golden juice, his face turned ugly.

Anyone who is scalded by the gold juice will die from the infection of the wound, and there is no cure.

It is impossible to give up.

This round-the-clock battle lasted for two days and two nights, and Xia Yu suffered heavy casualties.

Zhong Ruhuang suffered few casualties.

The 100,000 troops brought by Gu Yunkai suffered heavy casualties, with only less than 10,000 remnants left.

Because when Xia Yu was commanding the battle, he used the soldiers of the Pingning Dynasty as cannon fodder and let them fight in the front.

All three dynasties were hostile.

The relationship between the Pingning Dynasty and the Shengyun Dynasty was not much better.

If it weren't for the Baiyun Mountains blocking the way, it would probably not be a small fight, but a fight to the death.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses brought by Xia Yu also suffered losses of more than 50,000, most of whom died from burns from the gold juice.

Such heavy casualties made Xia Yu realize that the attack on Chaotian Pass had failed again.

She glanced at Gu Yunkai, whose face was ashen.

"retreat."

Snowflakes are already falling from the sky.

It's winter.

It's time to withdraw our troops.

Xia Yu decisively took the remaining troops back to Shengyun Dynasty.

Gu Yunkai looked at his remaining defeated troops with a gloomy face and also retreated.

It’s impossible not to retreat.

She no longer has any soldiers to fight.

Thinking about being punished by Emperor Shoucheng when she returned, her face became even uglier.

On the city gate tower, Zhong Ruhuang narrowed her eyes when she saw that Xia Yu and Gu Yunkai had both retreated.

As the saying goes, kick the dog when it's down.

She felt somewhat aggrieved during the month-long battle to defend the city.

"kill!"

The gate of Chaotian Pass was wide open. Zhong Ruhuang personally led 30,000 cavalrymen out of Chaotian Pass and rushed towards Gu Yunkai's remnants.

Lu Lingran defended the city.

Fang Yuehua and Bai Songji followed them out of the city.

During this month, the infantry defending the city suffered a lot of casualties.

However, the 30,000 cavalrymen were well fed and well-fed, and they were all fat and strong, and full of energy.

Gu Yunkai didn't expect that even after she retreated, Zhong Ruhuang would chase her out and kill her.

Her troops were all infantry, with no cavalry at all.

Cavalry cannot be used to attack a city.

At this moment, looking at Zhong Ruhuang in silver-white armor, Gu Yunkai's eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Your Highness, let's go."

Gu Yunkai shook off his men and rode his horse towards Zhong Ruhuang.

"Zhong Ruhuang, prepare to die."

Gu Yunkai pointed his red tasseled spear towards Zhong Ruhuang.

Zhong Ruhuang raised an eyebrow, holding a heavy three-bladed spear in his hand.

She is naturally strong and ordinary weapons are not effective against her.

In the past, she used acupressure to disguise herself.

Now I don’t hide it anymore.

This three-bladed spear weighs dozens of pounds and has been gathering dust in the weapons warehouse of Chaotian Pass.

Zhong Ruhuang pulled it out of the weapons warehouse, and as soon as she held it, she felt it was perfectly suitable.

Thus, this three-bladed spear became her weapon.

She gently blocked it with the three-blade spear, and a huge force was transmitted from the red tassel spear to her hand, causing Gu Yunkai's palm to feel numb.

Her expression changed slightly.

This Zhong Ruhuang...

She was using a heavy weapon.
