Chapter 1162 Leading the Way
The battlefield was filled with smoke and the strong smell of blood filled the air, making people feel nauseous.
The enemy was on high alert, with swords and spears at their disposal, like a dormant beast, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
"Prime Minister, Princess, the enemy has set an ambush!" The scout came on horseback and reported in a hurried tone.
“As expected.”
Xiao Zhan sneered: "Pass the order, all troops on alert, beware of traps!"
As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of screams from soldiers suddenly came from the front.
The originally flat ground suddenly collapsed, and dozens of soldiers fighting in the front instantly fell into the trap dug by the enemy in advance.
Immediately afterwards, dense and sharp arrows shot from all directions like raindrops!
“Damn it!”
Jiang Xue cursed inwardly, quickly drew out the soft sword at her waist, and blocked the sharp arrow shot at her.
Xiao Zhan wielded his spear as if he was in an empty space, and killed all the enemy soldiers around him.
Although the two were highly skilled in martial arts, the enemy's traps were difficult to defend against, and coupled with their large numbers, Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan's army still suffered heavy losses.
Looking at the soldiers falling one after another, the two men felt heartbroken, but they were helpless for the moment.
To make matters worse, some ministers in the court who were dissatisfied with Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue secretly colluded with the enemy and leaked their battle plan.
The enemy leader was well prepared and set up numerous ambushes. Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan's army was attacked from all sides and fell into a passive position.
The soldiers' morale was low and many began to waver.
"Are we really going to lose?"
"Princess, Prime Minister, what should we do?"
The morale of the army was greatly dampened, but to make matters worse, at this moment, the enemy leader personally led a team of elite soldiers and launched a fierce attack on our defense line like a tiger descending from the mountain.
A hole was torn in their defense line and the enemy poured in like a tide.
"Kill!" Xiao Zhan roared, leading the way and rushing into the enemy camp.
The spear in his hand was like a silver dragon, flying and dancing, invincible.
Jiang Xue followed closely behind, the soft sword in her hand was as flexible and cunning as a snake, and every attack could take the life of an enemy.
The two fought side by side, fighting bloody battles, like two gods of war, guarding the soldiers behind them.
However, the enemy outnumbers us and the situation remains extremely critical.
Xiao Zhan already had several wounds on his body, and blood had stained his battle robe red.
Jiang Xue's strength gradually declined and her movements began to become slow.
At this moment, a sharp arrow broke through the air and shot straight at Jiang Xue's back.
"Xiaoxue!" Xiao Zhan was horrified and wanted to rescue her but it was too late.
At the critical moment, Jiang Xue felt a powerful force behind her pushing her away.
"Puchi!" The sound of the sharp arrow piercing the flesh can be clearly heard.
Jiang Xue looked back and saw a feather arrow stuck in Xiao Zhan's chest, with blood gushing out.
“Yun Che!” Jiang Xue shouted heartbreakingly, her eyes instantly reddened.
Xiao Zhan endured the severe pain and smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'm fine..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell headfirst into Jiang Xue's arms.
“Yun Che! Wake up! Nothing can happen to you!” Jiang Xue hugged Xiao Zhan, tears streaming down her face.
The shouts, screams, and sounds of weapons clashing around her seemed to have disappeared, and only she and Xiao Zhan were left in the world.
She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to merge him into her body.
Suddenly, her eyes became cold and firm.
"Yun Che, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you!"
She raised her head and scanned the battlefield with her eyes. Her tone was as cold as a Shura from hell: "I will make these enemies pay with blood!"
At this time, a soldier ran over in a panic: "Princess, Prime Minister, the cold jade bracelet is missing!"
Jiang Xue's eyes were blurred by tears, but she bit her lower lip tightly and forced herself to calm down.
Xiao Zhan's body temperature gradually faded away in her arms, which made her feel heartbroken, but it also aroused a ruthlessness she had never felt before in her heart.
The cold jade bracelet disappeared, which was more like a silent warning, reminding her that she must cheer up and protect their common goal.
The noise of the battlefield flooded into her eardrums like a tide; the sounds of fighting, screams, and the collision of weapons intertwined into a symphony of death.
The strong smell of blood stimulated her sense of smell and made her almost nauseous.
But she endured the discomfort and tried to stay awake.
She took a deep breath, gently placed Xiao Zhan on the ground, and closed his eyes with trembling hands.
Then, she slowly stood up and scanned the chaotic battlefield with her sharp eyes.
At this moment, she is no longer the gentle princess, but a general who plans strategies and a goddess of revenge.
"Princess..." The deputy general's voice trembled slightly.
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, but just quietly observed the enemy's movements.
The enemy leader's arrogant laughter echoed on the battlefield, like a death curse, making the anger in her heart burn fiercely.
"They got complacent too early."
Jiang Xue sneered. She noticed that although the enemy leader's elite troops were aggressive, they were too concentrated and their flank defense was weak, which was undoubtedly a fatal flaw.
"Pass the order down, all troops, listen to my command, change formation, and outflank from the flank!"
Jiang Xue's voice was cold and firm, with unquestionable majesty.
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
They had long been convinced of the princess's wisdom and courage. When they heard her order, they immediately took action and rushed towards the enemy's flank like an arrow.
"Princess, the Prime Minister..." The deputy general hesitated.
"The Prime Minister's revenge will be avenged today!" Jiang Xue said in a cold tone.
The enemy leader never dreamed that Jiang Xue would be able to calmly analyze the situation and quickly adjust tactics at such a critical moment.
By the time he reacted, it was too late.
His elite troops were surrounded by Jiang Xue's army and were caught in a dilemma.
"Kill!" Jiang Xue gave an order and led the army to rush into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountain.
The soft sword in her hand was like a poisonous snake, and every attack was precise and deadly.
Xiao Zhan's sacrifice inspired the soldiers' fighting spirit. They fought bravely and were unstoppable as if they were injected with chicken blood.
The enemy's morale plummeted and they were completely routed.
Jiang Xue led the troops and was invincible as if he was in an empty space.
She was like a goddess of vengeance, wielding her rage wantonly on the battlefield and killing all the enemy troops without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
In the end, the enemy leader was captured alive by Jiang Xue in despair.
There was a deafening cheer from the battlefield, and the soldiers knelt on the ground, shouting: "The princess is mighty!"
Jiang Xue stood in a sea of corpses and blood, holding the enemy leader in her hand, scanning the battlefield with cold eyes.
As the sun sets, her shadow becomes very long, like an Asura returning from hell.
"Let's go back to the palace!" Jiang Xue said in a cold tone and turned to walk towards the direction of the palace.
