Chapter 1152 Hidden Vitality
Swords flashed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The enemy leader, a burly man with a sinister face, was riding on a tall horse, commanding his troops to attack frantically.
The tactics he used were extremely sinister and vicious, targeting the weak links of Jiang Xue's side, causing them to retreat step by step.
"Damn it!" Xiao Zhan roared as he chopped an enemy soldier in half with his sword.
"This bastard actually used such a despicable method!"
Jiang Xue frowned, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she could hardly breathe.
Looking at the soldiers falling one after another, she was anxious but helpless.
"Princess, we can't go on like this!" The city defense general rode his horse to Jiang Xue's side, covered in blood, and shouted anxiously.
"The enemy's attack is too fierce, we can't hold on any longer!"
At this moment, the enemy camp leader, a lean man with eyes as sharp as an eagle, led an elite force, like a sharp knife, tore through Jiang Xue's defense line and headed straight for them.
"Protect the Prime Minister! Protect the princess!"
The personal soldiers risked their lives to stand in front of Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, fighting a desperate battle with the enemy.
The enemy's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. Jiang Xue and others were trapped in the center, like a turtle in a jar.
A feeling of despair began to spread among the soldiers, and some allied leaders even began to back down.
"We can't hold on any longer, let's retreat!" a leader shouted in horror.
"Yes, it will be too late if we don't retreat now!" another leader echoed.
"you……"
Jiang Xue was angry and anxious: "Stop right there! Anyone who dares to desert will be punished by military law!"
However, her roar did not have much effect, and some allied leaders still sneaked away with their teams.
The situation became more critical. Jiang Xue felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff and could fall into the abyss at any time.
Xiao Zhan waved the sword in his hand and killed the approaching enemies one by one.
His eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the battlefield around him, his heart filled with anxiety.
"Xiaoxue, this is not a solution!" Xiao Zhan shouted.
"You take the city defense general and Mr. Zhuge and retreat first. I will cover your retreat!"
"no!"
Jiang Xue flatly refused. "If you want to leave, we leave together. If you want to stay, we stay together!"
At this moment, a cold arrow shot out and hit Xiao Zhan's shoulder.
He groaned, his body swayed, and he almost fell off the horse.
"Prime Minister!" Jiang Xue exclaimed and hurriedly supported him.
"I'm fine..." Xiao Zhan said through gritted teeth, but his face was as pale as paper.
The enemy's offensive became more and more fierce, and Jiang Xue and others had reached the end of their rope.
"What should I do?" Jiang Xue murmured to herself, her eyes full of despair.
At this critical moment, she suddenly thought of something, raised her head abruptly, and looked at the city defense general and counselor Zhuge...
Jiang Xue took a deep breath, and the cool air filled her lungs, which gradually calmed her confused thoughts.
In a flash, she remembered the valley topographic map that she had discussed with Mr. Zhuge before.
This seemingly hopeless canyon actually hides life!
"General!"
Jiang Xue shouted loudly, her voice still clear and powerful amid the noise of fighting:
"Order the archers to occupy the high ground on both sides immediately! Mr. Zhuge, immediately contact the reserve troops outside the valley and have them outflank the enemy from behind!"
The city defense general was stunned at first, then he immediately understood Jiang Xue's intention and responded loudly: "Understood!"
He turned around and rushed out like an arrow, commanding the archers to quickly occupy the advantageous terrain.
Mr. Zhuge also understood Jiang Xue's plan, and said with a cupped hand: "Don't worry, Princess, I will go right away!"
He rode away and disappeared in the billowing dust.
Jiang Xue's order was like a shot in the arm, instantly igniting the dying fire of hope in the soldiers' hearts.
They regained their spirits, and a burning desire to fight burned in their eyes.
"Soldiers! Follow me and kill!" Xiao Zhan endured the severe pain in his shoulder, shouted loudly, and rushed into the enemy camp first.
"Kill!" Jiang Xue followed closely behind, the sword in his hand flying like a dragon. Wherever he passed, the enemy fell one after another.
At this moment, she was no longer the gentle princess, but a heroic female general, exuding a chilling murderous aura.
After the archers occupied the high ground, they were like divine soldiers descending from heaven. Arrows poured down like locusts, and the enemy was immediately thrown into chaos.
Jiang Xue's side, which was originally at a disadvantage, now became full of momentum and began to counterattack frantically.
The enemy was defeated step by step and was in disarray.
The enemy leader's face turned livid as he saw the situation reversed.
He waved the big knife in his hand, charged left and right, but he was still unable to break through.
"Damn it! How could this happen!" he roared.
Seeing victory in sight, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with joy.
At this moment, the enemy leader suddenly laughed loudly towards the sky, his laughter was full of madness and despair.
"Hahaha! Do you think you can win like this? You are so naive!"
He pulled out a black box from his arms and held it high: "Bury them all with me!"
He suddenly opened the box, and the contents inside instantly emitted a dazzling light.
Jiang Xue closed her eyes because of the blinding light. At this moment, she heard the evil laugh of the enemy leader:
"This is a treasure I have treasured for many years. Today I am giving it to you for free. The power of this thunder bomb can raze an area of ten miles to the ground! You can enjoy it..."
At the moment the light appeared, Jiang Xue quickly threw Xiao Zhan to the ground and protected him with her body.
At the same time, he interrupted the enemy leader with a cold smile: "Enjoy what? Enjoy the miracle?"
She was perceptive and had noticed that although the light emitted by this so-called "thunder bomb" was dazzling, it lacked real killing power.
Sure enough, the light faded, and apart from brief blindness and tinnitus, everyone was fine.
The enemy leader was dumbfounded. He stared at the box in his hand in disbelief: "Impossible! I spent a lot of money to get this..."
"It seems that your baby is a fake, right?"
Jiang Xue slowly got up from the ground, dusted herself off, and said jokingly, "I suggest you check carefully before buying something next time."
Xiao Zhan also stood up and rubbed his arm which was somewhat numb from being pressed by Jiang Xue. His eyes were full of pampering: "Madam, you risked your life to save me. I am grateful to you."
The enemy leader was completely stunned. His carefully planned "ultimate move" was easily resolved. This was more painful than killing him directly.
He sat on the ground dejectedly like a deflated ball, mumbling, "It's over, it's all over!"
Seeing this, the remaining enemy troops also laid down their arms and surrendered.
This war, which should have been tragic, ended in an almost ridiculous way.
Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan returned triumphantly, escorting the prisoners, captured weapons and the enemy leader's "high-imitation thunder bombs".
Back at the palace, the atmosphere in the main hall was solemn and tense.
