Seeing this, Flying Eagle's longsword suddenly became sharp, pushing Jiang Yimian closer to Xie Yang.
The Xiliang guards nearby quickly changed their tactics, swiftly slashing their curved blades at Jiang Yimian, forcing her closer to Xie Yang while not giving her a chance to escape the encirclement.
Jiang Yimian frowned slightly upon seeing this.
Allit merely scoffed and said, "Princess, you'd better surrender quickly. Although none of the people here are your match, it would be difficult for you to attack them all at once."
How long do you think you can hold on by yourself?
"If you surrender now and persuade the Jin army outside the city to surrender, I can forgive your past transgressions and not be an enemy of Jin."
Jiang Yimian didn't even glance at him. Her curved dagger kept slashing as she found another opportunity to slit someone's throat and kick him into the pond next to her.
Allit was furious, and regretted not sending more people to the West Garden, which led to the current situation.
The West Garden is now empty, leaving him with no one to choose from if he wants to take a hostage.
At that moment, Xie Yang shot the arrow in his hand.
With two sharp "whoosh" sounds, the arrow pierced through Jiang Yimian's hair and embedded itself directly in a pillar of the corridor.
However, the target remained completely unharmed.
Xie Yang narrowed his eyes but had no intention of giving up the bow and arrow in his hand.
The Xiliang guards who had entered the artificial hill finally came out and immediately shouted, "Found it, Khan, it really is there!"
Allit breathed a sigh of relief and immediately took a few steps forward to meet her.
However, the next second, the guard who had just come out of the artificial hill was kicked away by Jiang Yimian and fell into the pond with a "plop".
The box containing gunpowder in his hand also fell into the pond.
Just as Jiang Yimian was about to take the opportunity to escape the encirclement, a long sword suddenly appeared in front of her.
Flying Eagle's longsword continued unabated, completely ignoring the curved daggers landing on him, once again forcing Jiang Yimian into the encirclement of the Xiliang guards.
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes, glanced at the new wounds on her body, and then began to dodge the attacks of the Xiliang guards and the occasional sword thrusts from the flying eagle.
Looking at the gunpowder that had fallen into the pond, Allit was so angry that he trembled all over and cursed, "You bunch of useless trash, useless trash, why don't you kill her? Blow her up!"
He refused to believe that this bastard could dodge scimitars and arrows, let alone explosives.
Hearing Alite's madness, Jiang Yimian felt increasingly heavy-hearted and began to worry.
These Xiliang people are indeed quite difficult to deal with. She can only barely restrain them now, and it is indeed difficult for her to escape.
There are still many poisons in the space, but unfortunately we are not in a closed space. In addition, these people from Xiliang are always large in size. She will probably be poisoned to death by the poisons thrown out first, and these people have not yet shown the symptoms.
Not to mention, these people now have hidden gunpowder, making her situation even more difficult.
If the gunpowder here were to be delivered to the city walls, the pressure on the armies of the Great Jin and Tuyuhun would be even greater.
Just then, a longer horn blast was heard, accompanied by a heavy, booming sound.
That was the sound of something hitting the city gate.
Realizing this, Jiang Yimian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
While the sound of the impact doesn't necessarily mean that the Tuyuhun and Jin armies will soon enter the city, it at least proves that they are currently in a superior position.
What she needs to do now is to completely restrain Junzixuan's people and the gunpowder in the artificial hill.
Most importantly, we must not let Alit succeed in delivering the gunpowder to the city walls.
Realizing this, she changed her previous defensive fighting style, and her curved dagger became even more agile, directly stabbing at the Xiliang guards beside her.
Seeing this, the guards all began to dodge her attacks, and Jiang Yimian took the opportunity to close the distance to the artificial hill.
However, before she could get close, Flying Eagle had already blocked her way again with his long sword. The Xiliang guards also reacted quickly and surrounded her again.
This time, they only focused on trapping her and didn't try to kill her again.
For a moment, both sides were deadlocked.
Seeing this, Allit just scoffed, "Give up. These guards are all carefully trained by me. Their greatest skill has never been attacking, but forming a net to trap the people they want to trap."
Although we can't kill this woman for the time being, as long as we can keep her trapped and prevent her from causing trouble on the city wall, it's still a good thing.
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes, no longer trying to get closer to the artificial hill, nor trying to break through the defenses of those people, and continued to fight with Flying Eagle.
Upon seeing the boxes of gunpowder being carried out by the people in the artificial hill, Jiang Yimian unconsciously tightened her grip on the curved dagger, her heart filled with even greater worry for the army outside the city.
With so much gunpowder, while it might not be enough to defeat the army outside the city, it would certainly be enough to hold its own against them, preventing Xiliang from being passively attacked.
Once the Xiliang people inside the tunnels successfully escape, the armies of Tuyuhun and Jin will definitely be in a passive situation, and it will be impossible for them to conquer Xiliang as they are now.
They only have this one chance.
Thinking of all this, she gripped the curved dagger in her hand, and took out a small tinderbox from her spatial storage, hiding it in her palm.
If you throw this tinderbox out, the gunpowder will definitely explode here.
The people here will all cease to exist, so if she can take the opportunity to hide in the space, it will hardly have any impact on her.
If not...
She was completely stunned, not understanding how this idea came about.
