Chapter 300: Grenade Appears
"General, our reinforcements have not arrived yet..."
The spear pierced the enemy's chest, and blood splattered when it was pulled out.
Xie Ming tightened the reins, his expression extremely grim. "What's going on? Hasn't anyone from Wuping Marquis's Mansion come yet?"
"Perhaps he was tripped by something. I haven't seen anyone coming." Deputy General Huang Yuan was sweating profusely and said hurriedly, "General, retreat! No matter how good you are at fighting, you can't protect everyone."
"Damn it." Xie Ming's brows knitted together as he looked at the endless stream of enemy troops. "They probably want to wear us out. Go back and report, open the city gates, and have the archers at the gates prepare to cover our retreat."
"yes!"
I don't know where Yan Sheng found so many troops. They can't be killed in turns. The reinforcements are delayed in arriving. If he doesn't retreat, all the soldiers under his command will die here.
Thousands of arrows were fired from the city gate, temporarily stopping the enemy's desperate attack.
"General!"
Xie Ming cleaned up the aftermath alone, and only rode back after all the soldiers had retreated back into the city.
Huang Yuan was guarding the city gate. When he saw the general riding into the city gate, he finally felt relieved.
"Is the famous General Ningyuan a coward?" The enemy leader, sitting astride his horse, laughed even more brazenly when he saw Xie Ming returning to the city in a panic. "Go back! Let the emperor find someone capable to fight me!"
"Damn it..." Huang Yuan gritted his teeth, his hand shaking from gripping the sword. "A warrior can be killed but not humiliated! Give me the bow!"
"Calm down." Xie Ming stopped him, his handsome face expressionless. "Let him yell all he wants."
"General..."
"Xie Ming!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xie Ming was startled. He looked over and saw a figure in green fluttering in the wind. Behind her was the reinforcement he had been eagerly waiting for.
"County Lady Fanghua..." Huang Yuan was stunned. Seeing the soldiers behind her, he suddenly smiled happily. "Family members are still reliable. General, your sister-in-law is here with reinforcements!"
The light in Xie Ming's eyes instantly dissipated with Huang Yuan's words. He turned his head stiffly, met Huang Yuan's clear and foolish eyes, and pulled his lip, "Do you think you are so sweet?"
"Ah?" Huang Yuan was stunned and scratched his head in confusion. He had no idea what the general meant.
"Go over there and monitor the enemy!" Xie Ming kicked him in the butt, then turned around and quickly walked down the city wall.
Huang Yuan was left alone, rubbing his buttocks foolishly. "What I said is true... Isn't the Fanghua County Princess the general's sister-in-law?"
"Ah Cheng!" Xie Ming raised his hand and carried the girl down. Although his expression was solemn, a hint of joy still flashed in his eyes. "The city gate is so dangerous, why are you here?"
Su Cheng withdrew from his arms, a sweet smile on her lips, "If I hadn't come, when would you have waited for reinforcements?"
Seeing the reinforcements behind them consciously move aside, Xie Ming pursed his lips slightly, his eyes full of worry, "How did you, a girl, lead so many imperial soldiers here?"
"You don't know, the people in the city rioted. It caused quite a disturbance, and the reinforcements were blocked behind." Su Cheng sighed softly and raised his hand to tuck away the strands of hair that had fallen from his forehead. "Suzhou and Jinyu are both in the palace. They have enough manpower, so there's no need to worry about them. But as for you, if I can't get there in time, how will you manage with such a small group of people?"
The uneasiness in Xie Ming's heart gradually dissipated. He gently held her wrist and said in a deep voice, "I'll ask someone to take you back."
"No need, I'll just stay here."
"What……"
Before Xie Ming could finish his words, Su Cheng loosened the reins, lifted her skirt and walked up to the city wall.
"Ah Cheng!" Xie Ming's face turned pale. He strode after her and said in a deep voice, "This place is dangerous. How could you..."
"Deputy General, the enemy seems to be invincible. How should we fight this battle?"
Huang Yuan looked at the huge enemy army outside the city gate, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
"Why can't we fight?" Su Cheng walked forward slowly, his eyes sweeping over the enemy troops. "What's the leader's name?"
"Sister-in-law, the leader is called Zhang Kui."
Su Cheng lowered his eyes and met the gaze of Zhang Kui, the leader, and said loudly, "You are also citizens of Daqi. You may have relatives in the city. As long as you are willing to surrender and lay down your swords, I will ensure that you escape unscathed."
Hearing this, Zhang Kui chuckled and glanced at the friendly troops around him one by one. "It seems that the old emperor has no one to use. He actually sent a woman to negotiate with me. Hey, little lady, if you are willing to come out and sleep with my brothers for a night, I will withdraw my troops. How about it?"
"General!"
Xie Ming snatched the longbow from his subordinate, straightened the bowstring, and aimed it at Zhang Kui's head.
"A Ming." Su Cheng raised his hand to stop him, his eyes dark. "Why bother caring about a dying person?"
"Since he is determined to die, I will naturally help him." Xie Mingliang tightened the bow, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, and murderous intent filled his eyes.
The next moment, his hand was gently pushed away by Su Cheng.
Xie Ming didn't understand and looked at her with a frown.
Su Cheng slowly pulled out a fist-sized object from his sleeve and said loudly, "I'll ask you again, your loyalty is not to a good king. Will you surrender or not? This is your last chance!"
Zhang Kui raised his arms and shouted, "Brothers, follow me to break into the city! Kill all those cowards and sleep with that bitch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Cheng slowly threw out the thing in his hand.
Seeing this, Zhang Kui almost doubled over with laughter. "Look, the little girl is throwing rocks at us! Does this count as flirting?"
But the next second, he could no longer laugh.
With a loud "boom".
The stone in Zhang Kui's mouth exploded unexpectedly, causing the earth to shake and the mountain to tremble. There was a loud noise and dust and gravel flew everywhere.
"Acheng!" Xie Ming's eyes were bloodshot, and he subconsciously hugged the girl beside him in his arms and pressed her under him.
After a while, it was eerily quiet outside the city. Huang Yuan raised his head and saw his general hugging his sister-in-law. The two of them were hugging each other. He was so frightened that he was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
No wonder…
No wonder the General was kicking himself.
I really said the wrong thing.
The general actually... likes his sister-in-law?
"Ah Cheng...are you okay?" Xie Ming stood up carefully and tucked the messy hair behind her ears. "What was that just now?"
"Grenade."
Su Cheng took out another thing that was exactly the same as before, scaring the people around him and making them step back.
"Sister-in-law... calm down!" Huang Yuan was shaking like a sieve. He wanted to run, but he couldn't lose face in front of the soldiers, so he had to stand there stiffly.
"Don't be afraid, I haven't pulled the bolt yet." Su Cheng let Xie Ming help him up, handed him the grenade, and quietly demonstrated how to use it, "Pull the bolt and throw it out in a few breaths. This thing is extremely powerful and can kill a large area."
Xie Ming lowered his eyes and looked at the object in his hand, his heartbeat gradually quickening.
If you have this thing, you will win the battle!
