The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang patted Jin Bing on the shoulder and said soothingly: "Don't be afraid, it's just a sparring match, stop when it's enough, it won't kill you."

After saying this, he signaled the soldier holding two spears to come forward and handed one spear to the trembling Jin soldier.

The soldiers then stepped back a few steps, clenched their spears, formed a battle formation, and shouted, "Come on!"

The Jin soldier's eyes flickered between Duan Tianyang and the soldier on the opposite side. His body was shaking with fear. He was in a dilemma and looked extremely helpless.

Duan Tianyang saw this and said in a leisurely tone, but with an unquestionable tone: "Go all out. If you lose, you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jin soldiers shuddered all over and dared not hesitate any more. They roared, thrust their spears straight at their opponents, and pierced the soldiers' chests with the tips of the spears.

The soldier took a deep breath, turned his wrist slightly, and thrust his spear. Surprisingly, the skinny soldier was as steady as a rock, while the burly Jin soldier stumbled a few steps, and the spear flew out of his hand...

He widened his eyes, staring at his empty hands in disbelief, and stood there for a moment.

Before he could come to his senses, the soldiers took advantage of the situation and shouted angrily: "Kill!" and pointed their spears directly at the vital points of the Jin soldiers.

At this critical moment, Duan Tianyang flashed and appeared beside the Jin soldier like a ghost. He gently pulled and resolved the fatal blow.

He turned to the soldier and said gently: "That's enough. I've already said it before. This is just a sparring match. No one should be killed."

Upon hearing this, the soldier broke out in a cold sweat, quickly put away his spear, saluted, and said in fear, "Please forgive me, sir."

Duan Tianyang waved his hand, signaling him to leave, then turned to Jin Bing and said, "You can go eat now."

The Jin soldier felt relieved, thanked them repeatedly, and plunged into the crowd who were frantically scrambling for dry food.

Duan Tianyang smiled slightly, walked to Yi Shuirou, and asked softly: "Did the princess see everything?"

She nodded. Being smart as she was, she naturally understood Duan Tianyang's profound meaning.

She said quietly, "How can these people fight when they can't even hold their weapons properly? It seems we can consider storming Jinling Town."

Duan Tianyang replied with a smile: "Perhaps they will take the initiative to break out of the city without a violent attack."

While the two were talking, a Jin soldier suddenly fell to the ground. He held his neck tightly with one hand and pointed at his mouth full of dry food with the other, whimpering helplessly.

The surrounding Jin soldiers and Hongxing Army soldiers were shocked by this sudden situation and gathered around him, only to find that the Jin soldier had choked himself due to overeating dry food.

Duan Tianyang calmly ordered: "Go get some water."

Immediately, soldiers brought several buckets of water, and the hungry and thirsty Jin soldiers rushed forward, scrambling for the water.

However, the dehydrated dry food quickly expanded in the stomach. In a short period of time, more than a dozen Jin soldiers fell to the ground, holding their stomachs in pain. Several of them groaned in pain, and several others were even starved to death.

Seeing this, Duan Tianyang and Yi Shuirou looked at each other and understood in their hearts that they didn't need to ask these Jin soldiers anything anymore. The facts were already before them: the Jin soldiers' hunger was not a disguise, but they were really hungry to the extreme.

All the generals followed the two of them into the central military tent, all of them smiling with their lips curled up.

Feng Sheng could not hide his excitement and said loudly: "Princess, Lord Duan, in my opinion, tomorrow is a good time for us to attack Jinling Town."

Zhang Liao was also beaming with joy, and echoed confidently: "Given the current weakness of the Jin army, our army only needs a thunderous blow, and the gate of Jinling will surely be breached!"

Yi Shuirou gently waved her hand, her tone revealing a calmness: "Our army does not need to rush to attack, we just need to wait for the enemy troops in the city to lose their composure and take the initiative to fight. If nothing unexpected happens, within a day or two, they will be unable to hold back and break out."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other and laughed, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.

What Yi Shuirou and Duan Tianyang did not expect was that the Jin army had extraordinary endurance.

The next morning, Jinling Town was still calm. On the top of the city wall, patrolling soldiers were in neat formations and the soldiers on guard stood tall. There was no sign of panic due to food shortages.

This scene, on the contrary, made the soldiers of Hongxing Army and the imperial army more convinced that the calmness of the Jin army was just a disguise of a spent force.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye it was already the third day, and there was still no movement in Jinling Town. The Jin army seemed to be completely immersed in its own world, oblivious to everything in the outside world.

Just when everyone was full of doubts, two days later in the morning, the north city gate of Jinling Town burst open, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and a large number of Jin troops poured out like a tide, quickly forming a battle array outside the city.

Faced with this sudden change, the Hongxing Army did not show any panic. They had long expected the Jin Army to do this, so they had already made full preparations.

Yi Shuirou and Duan Tianyang calmly gathered the troops in the North Camp, then led the army out of the camp in a mighty manner and lined up outside the camp, forming a tit-for-tat situation with the Jin army.

As the two armies faced each other, the soldiers of the Hongxing Army struck their shields with their weapons, shouting deafeningly: "Hongxing! Hongxing! Hongxing!"

On the other hand, although the Jin army was also shouting loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!", their voices seemed weak and the soldiers' steps seemed unusually heavy.

All of this coincides with the Hongxing Army's prior inference.

During the march, the distance between the two armies had quietly shrunk to only one mile. At this moment, both sides inadvertently remained motionless, confronting each other on the vast battlefield.

Between the two camps, shouts of killing and the sound of war drums intertwined into one, resounding through the sky. They competed with each other with momentum, intending to make the other side feel afraid before the formal confrontation.

Suddenly, a horseman from the Jin army rushed out and arrived at the front line where the two armies were facing each other. His voice was like a loud bell, and he shouted to the Hongxing army camp: "Han thieves, listen up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noise of the two armies died down instantly, and the battlefield fell into dead silence. Only the heavy atmosphere on the eve of the war became more and more intense, and the fierce murderous aura emanating from the soldiers almost solidified the space.

The knights of the Jin army continued to speak loudly: "Our commander is merciful and does not want to see the lives of the people destroyed. If you retreat to the realm of God now, you can still save your lives. But if you insist on being an enemy of our army, you will suffer the consequences and be destroyed..."

Just as he was speaking passionately, a silver arrow cut through the sky and shot out from the Hongxing Army formation, like the brightest meteor in the night sky, arriving in an instant.

The arrow first shot straight into the sky, then suddenly turned above the knight's head and fell rapidly like an eagle flying through the sky.

Before the knight could react, the black arrow filled with endless murderous intent had accurately pierced his helmet, passed through his body, came out from his buttocks, and pierced through his horse with all its strength, finally nailing it deeply into the ground.

Even at such a long distance, the power of the black arrow is still so terrifying that it is jaw-dropping.

The knight and his horse fell to the ground together under this sudden blow.

This scene instantly set off an uproar in the Jin army camp. On the other hand, the Hongxing army was like a raging fire, their morale was boosted. They banged their shields frantically and shouted in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
