Chapter 725 Turning the tide



Wu Yunzhu spoke the Central Plains Mandarin, so Nuoshen also spoke the Central Plains Mandarin when he transmitted the message over a thousand miles, and Jian Ning and the others could understand it.

When she first heard the word "Wu Yunzhu", Jian Ning's first reaction was the person with the same name and surname as her master. There were also many female generals in the Yue Army, such as Pei Zitong and Nanuoqi.

But the wizards in the Yue army who could transmit sound over a thousand miles were actually going to ask for help from the man with the same name as her master. Jane Ning wondered what kind of powerful person he was. Could he be as powerful as her master?

Ding Youtian had an exceptional memory. He didn't think it was just a name. When he heard the name "Wu Yunzhu," he immediately looked at Jian Ning and asked, "Do you remember the few extra herbs that suddenly appeared in your Herb Room that year?"

When he suddenly mentioned this, Jian Ning's heart skipped a beat for no reason. "You mean... will it?"

Jane Ning was a little frightened!

"Who is Wu Yunzhu? Do you two know this person?" Huo Jincheng looked at them and said.

"Don't make any noise, let me think about it." Jane Ning felt a little confused. When her master first separated the Herb Room for her, he told her that the herbs inside were all grown in her own Herb Room. He also said that whatever new herbs she planted in the future would also be in Jane Ning's Herb Room.

That year, Jian Ning's herb room suddenly had a few more herbs. She hoped her master was still alive, but how could that be possible? Ever since her master told her her time was up and disappeared into the herb room, she hadn't emerged. She hadn't given up hope, calling out to her master several times from her herb room. If her master was truly alive, how could he ignore her and not see her?

So Jian Ning didn't believe her master was still alive. She had more than just a few herbs in her herb room, as well as a medicine store and a military arsenal. She considered these as benefits of traveling through time and didn't think much about it. She couldn't believe such a good thing could happen: her master was still alive and had traveled to the same time and space as her.

She has had bad luck since she was a child. She didn't have a good pair of parents since she was born. If it weren't for her master... well, it can't be said that it was completely bad. She was lucky to have met her master.

Thinking of this, Jane Ning felt a glimmer of hope in her heart. Maybe it really could be her master.

"Oh no!" she suddenly screamed, "Oh no! If it really is my master, I have to take the drone back. I can't accidentally hurt my master."

As soon as she finished speaking, the gate of Fengyi County had been broken down, and the Yan army rushed into the city and fought with the Yue army inside the city. King Pingnan waved his flag and gave an order, leading thousands of troops to rush towards the city gate like a tide.

A deafening cry of killing was heard, and Jian Ning jumped out of the woods and mounted his horse without saying a word. Seeing this, Huo Jincheng also chased after him, and the two of them left Ding Youtian in the woods.

"At least leave the remote control to me!" Ding Youtian rushed out and shouted, but Jian Ning left at lightning speed and could not hear him.

Although the two armies were fighting in a melee, Ding Youtian had the remote control in his hand, and he thought he could also seize the opportunity and fire a few shells.

On the city wall, generals such as Xiong Er were still leading their soldiers to hold the fort, shooting arrows and throwing stones downwards to stop the Yan army from rushing into the city.

King Pingnan drew his bow and aimed at Xiong Er. Before he could shoot, Xiong Er shrank his head and suddenly led the people on the city wall to retreat.

Is this abandoning the city and fleeing?

The Dayan army charged even faster this time. When they were within an arrow's reach of the city gate, they suddenly heard a series of "thump, thump, thump" noises, followed by another "boom," and then another. Amidst the flames, some Dayan soldiers fled from the city, shouting, "Retreat! Retreat!"

"Boom! Boom!" There were two more muffled sounds. Different from the previous "boom" sounds, these were the guns and cannons of the Yue army firing, accompanied by "thump thump thump" sounds. The Yue army in the city burst into cheers.

Prince Pingnan quickly ordered a withdrawal, and the army retreated like a tide, blocking the way of Jian Ning and Huo Jincheng. Jian Ning was extremely anxious. She could hear the sound of "thump thump thump" of submachine guns and the sound of grenades. Before she could think about it, she had a submachine gun in her arms. She shouted loudly: "Don't panic, get out of the way, don't block my way!"

But no one listened. Many slow-running soldiers were knocked down and trampled by their own horses. There was chaos. Jane Ning was worried about Dabao, Da Niu, Da Junma, Xiaoma and the others. In desperation, she held her submachine gun and fired several shots into the air.

The Yan army, which was in chaos, suddenly woke up as if from a dream. Their princess also had firearms that could make "bang bang" sounds. Many people seemed to have just remembered that they still had cannons. The previous chaos was just a sudden incident. The Yan army quickly calmed down and began to run to both sides in an orderly manner to make way for Jian Ning.

Tong Bajin, Xu Dali, and Erlangzi, along with the runners from the two counties and the trained city defense soldiers, had all retreated to the area where the dozen or so howitzers were.

"Follow me." Jian Ning rode over with a submachine gun in his arms. He shook his head and rode towards the city gate, shouting as he ran, "Don't block the way! Get out of the way!"

The defeated Yan army automatically moved to both sides. Jian Ning flicked his battle robe, and more than a dozen howitzers instantly moved to a position facing the city gate. Tong Bajin and others also quickly took their positions.

Yan Jun, who had escaped from the city, saw the artillery formation and ran towards this side cheering. Jian Ning saw that the ammunition was almost gone, so she also rode her horse and ran towards the city gate. The submachine guns in the city were still firing. She ran towards the city and Huo Jincheng followed her.

“Master!”

"mother!"

Ma Xiaomai and Dabao ran towards them, both looking embarrassed. Jian Ning quickly reined in his horse, "Are you hurt?"

"Where is Jun'er?" Huo Jincheng asked anxiously.

"Dajun wasn't in the siege camp. He didn't rush into the city. Mother, we're fine. Don't worry." After Dabao finished speaking, Ma Xiaomai pointed at the submachine gun in Jian Ning's arms and shouted, "Master, there's a woman in the city. She also has a firearm like yours. She killed many of us."

"How old are you?" Jian Ning asked while looking towards the city gate.

Dabao: "Bigger than mom."

Ma Xiaomai: "He looks about the same age as my mother."

That wasn't her master. Jane Ning's master, Grandma Wu, was already eighty years old when she went into seclusion in Baicaojian. She and her team traveled through time and space and possessed the bodies of people of the same age as herself, so she felt relieved.

"You two should go back to the team quickly. Mom will go meet her."

"Master, give me one of the firearms I used that year, and I will fight back with you!" Ma Xiaomai already knew that his father and Jian Ning were from another world, so he naturally knew that what she and his father used in the Jinxian village were not hidden weapons, but firearms.

"No need, you and Baoer go back quickly." Jian Ning squeezed his legs and ran forward on the horse. Huo Jincheng took the spear from Ma Xiaomai's hand and said, "Let me use it first." He also followed Jian Ning and ran towards the city gate.

The city gate was littered with corpses of Yan's soldiers, and the same was true inside the city. Seeing this, Jane Ning's heart tightened. She squeezed her horse's belly hard to increase her speed.

The sound of artillery in the city gradually stopped, and the sound of submachine guns also became intermittent. When Jane Ning was about to reach the city gate, she saw several Yan soldiers running out supporting each other. She just shouted loudly: "Hurry!", and saw a woman in ancient costume running towards her with a gun in her hand. Jane Ning fired a volley of bullets at her.
