Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

Chapter 146: Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat and Defeating the Enemy

With his fingertips touching the cold armor, Nuo Zimu's leading action made the other military officers standing on the city wall turn their heads.

You have to know that their soldiers are all guarding the city. Once the Jinzhou city gate is broken, the next city gate will be the imperial city.

If the imperial city is lost, the world will change hands.

King Wen was not the only one who had ulterior motives. Many vassal kings were watching and coveting the throne.

They all knew that the late emperor would not live long. As his health deteriorated day by day, he became increasingly unsuccessful in handling state affairs.

Sometimes, the eldest princess even had to govern the country.

Now it is not that they support Her Royal Highness the Princess, but they are forced to stand in this position. As long as the city walls are still there, there is no need for their soldiers to die, although fighting to defend the city is a bad idea.

But it’s the best option for them.

These days, soldiers mean power, and only with soldiers can you save your life.

Nothing works.

"Yes, so they all wear light armor."

"If we clash with the main force of Xu's army, our chances of winning are slim."

Zhao Changlin looked up at him and spoke bluntly, but this was also within her expectations.

"Then... the Xu family army is so powerful. Once they cross the iron bridge, I'm afraid General Zhou's life will be in danger!"

The only solution is for the Moxi Army to immediately cut off the bridge before the main force of the Xu family army rushes over.

After the bridge was broken, their food supply would be cut off immediately and nothing could be transported in, let alone the equipment and gunpowder needed for the siege.

Moreover, the only way of retreat has been cut off. If we are at our wit's end and are counterattacked by the people in the city, it will really be a big joke.

However, how could the head coach of Xu's army not understand such an obvious truth?

Therefore, even at the risk of being shot, he would not stay to defend the city, but attack. As long as his shield soldiers could break through the rain of arrows of the Moxi Army, they would kill the soldiers sent by the Moxi Army to break the bridge.

This situation can be solved.

Another military officer's lips were frozen purple and he couldn't stand it any longer.

The situation has gradually become clear. Even though the Moxi Army had anticipated the movements of the Xu Army, they were still somewhat overwhelmed when the real battle began.

Nuo Zimu took a step to the side, as if he was annoyed by the bad luck, and didn't say anything more.

His gray hair was a little messy in the wind and snow, and his eyes were once again fixed on the two armies fighting under the city.

Zhao Changlin ignored the military officer's impatience. She raised her hand and changed her gesture again. The shadow guard standing beside her had a thin layer of snow on his black armor.

He followed the instructions given by Her Royal Highness the Princess and swung his long sword. The inky black blade was particularly conspicuous in the wind and snow.

However, the Xu family army under the city could not understand this special way of command. This was also the order Zhao Changlin gave to Zhou Dun in advance, requiring him to memorize this set of command orders.

When she goes to the battlefield, she will not use conventional methods to command, as this will make it too easy for the commander of the Xu family army to find flaws in an instant.

Although Zhou Dun was confused by the moves of the blade, he still followed His Highness's plan. His red flags were flying, and the soldiers were retreating with their backs hunched, with the sound of snow.

They didn't understand why the general ordered them to retreat when the battle was at its most intense, but military orders were as firm as a mountain, and they would not say no to the general's words.

……

Standing on the cliff, all the bandits from Longya Village had gathered there. They were wiping the bows in their hands, looking quite puzzled.

"Shoot arrows towards the bottom of the cliff?"

"Isn't this a waste, or are there wild boars down there?"

That's what they said, but they were all very obedient and bent their bows and drew their arrows. These arrows were specially forged by the bandits of Longya Village for hunting wild boars in the mountains.

If used properly, it only takes a few arrows to bring down a giant wild boar. The blade of the arrow is specially made not to kill with one shot, but to bleed the giant prey.

Let them bleed to death.

"Just do what you're told to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Did you eat the sweet potatoes for nothing this morning?"

A man came over carrying a bundle of arrows and placed the arrows on the snow. All the people in the village stood densely on the top of the hill. It was very lively for a while, and the white snow on the top of the hill was trampled into a gray color.

"Alright, brothers and sisters!"

"Listen to my orders!"

"Draw the bow!"

Xia Zhiyuan smiled when he saw this scene.

However, her mind was already on His Highness, who was separated from her by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. She had discussed all of this with His Highness, including where the arrow would eventually go.

All of this was within her calculations.

Only she can do what no one else in this era can do, so only she can protect His Highness from worry.

"why are you laughing?"

The woman holding the gray wolf stood beside her, holding an umbrella in her hand. She seldom used an umbrella, and there was no need for such an elegant gesture in such a remote wilderness.

However, the umbrella she was holding today was not for herself, but for the young lady from the imperial court beside her.

With such a sickly body, she was really afraid that the snow on the mountain would be thicker and she would bury the man.

"Could it be that there are barbarians under this mountain?"

Xia Zhiyuan shook her head, and with her thin hands she lifted the hood covering her head, and the white fluff fluttered. She smiled, and put her index finger on her lips, indicating that this was a secret and she would not tell anyone.

Except His Highness.

"Fire arrows!"

A horn was blown, and the sound echoed in the mountains. The sky was filled with wind and snow, and everything was white.

“Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh!”

There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and black raindrops dispersed the snowflakes. Countless arrows fell under the cliff, and in an instant the thick white fog wrapped up the arrows and disappeared.

"Teleporting is being initiated - because the target is too large - the system needs to calculate the time. Please wait for a moment -

"50%——68%——75%——100%——"

"Transmission successful!"

"Switching screen for the host—"

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of weapons and horses rang in Xia Zhiyuan's mind, along with the sounds of fighting, the shaking iron bridge, the surging river, and the shaking broken ice.

The shield soldiers were still struggling forward. The shields in their hands were already riddled with holes, but they could still hold on.

"What is that in the sky?"

“Arrow… arrow feathers…!”

The first person to react was the personal soldier who was holding a shield and guarding the commander of the Xu family army. His duty was to watch out for any arrows flying from above.

"How come so many...arrows appeared out of nowhere!"

Could it be that there are pursuers? !

"Change formation! Protect the coach's safety!"

The personal soldier beside the commander-in-chief of the Xu family army acted promptly. He was the commander-in-chief's adopted son and also his right-hand man.

A rain of arrows suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield, leaving almost no chance for anyone to survive.

Zhao Changlin didn't even blink, she knew that this rain of arrows was accompanied by the wind and snow in Lincang.

She sent it.
