Chapter 1168 Shocking Secret
However, the enemy's formation was so strange that although they fought hard, they were unable to reverse the situation.
"This won't work. We must find a way to break the formation as soon as possible!"
Jiang Xue was anxious. While swinging her sword to block the enemy's attacks, she carefully observed the changes in the enemy's formation.
The enemy leader seemed to have noticed Jiang Xue's intention and ordered his soldiers to attack more frantically, trying to stop her from thinking.
"Xiaoxue, be careful!"
Xiao Zhan saw an enemy soldier attacking Jiang Xue from the side, so he quickly pulled her behind him and killed the enemy soldier with one sword.
“Yun Che, I’m fine.” Jiang Xue gave him a grateful look and continued to observe the enemy formation.
Suddenly, her eyes stopped on a flag in the center of the enemy camp. The pattern on the flag seemed somewhat special.
“Yun Che, look at that flag!” Jiang Xue pointed at the flag in the center of the enemy camp, speaking in a hurried tone.
Xiao Zhan looked in the direction of her finger and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong with the flag?"
Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "If I'm not mistaken, that flag is the key to the formation!"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Jiang Xue pointed at the pattern on the flag and explained: "Look, this pattern..."
Her voice stopped abruptly and her eyes were fixed on the flag, as if she had discovered some shocking secret!
Jiang Xue stared at the flag fluttering in the wind with burning eyes. The pattern on the flag was intricate, resembling a dragon and a snake, and it faintly exuded a strange aura.
“Yun Che, look at this pattern. Doesn’t it look like a coiled giant python? And the positions of those soldiers form the body of the python!”
Xiao Zhan followed her gaze and saw that the enemy's formation was unpredictable, yet it followed a certain pattern, like a giant python winding across the battlefield, devouring their soldiers.
"So, the weakness of this formation is at the seven-inch point of the python!" Xiao Zhan instantly understood what Jiang Xue meant, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
“That’s right!”
Jiang Xue said firmly: "As long as we focus our firepower on attacking the python's weak spot, we can break this formation!"
"Pass the order, all archers, aim at the position below the flag in the center of the enemy army and concentrate your firepower to attack!"
Xiao Zhan's command was like thunder, spreading throughout the entire battlefield.
Thousands of arrows were fired at once, like a swarm of locusts, covering the sky and the sun, with the sound of breaking through the air, heading straight for the "vital point" in the center of the enemy's formation.
With a loud "boom", the flag in the center of the enemy camp fell down.
The enemy's formation collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers ran around like headless flies. The originally orderly attack became chaotic.
"Charge! Kill!" Xiao Zhan raised his arms and led the army into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from the mountain, invincible.
Jiang Xue followed closely behind, the sword in her hand flying like the scythe of death, reaping the lives of the enemy.
The enemy had already been thrown into disarray by this sudden change, and now under the fierce attack of Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue, they were even more defeated. They abandoned their weapons and fled in all directions.
On the battlefield, shouts of killing were deafening, blood flowed like a river, broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was nauseating.
The enemy leader's face turned pale when he saw that the game was hopeless. He never expected that the formation he had carefully arranged could be broken so easily by a woman.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" he shouted at the top of his lungs, but it was too late.
Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue led a large army, rushing in like a tide and surrounding the enemy leader.
The enemy leader's personal soldiers fought desperately, but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. They were unable to stop the iron hooves of Xiao Zhan's army.
"It's over." Xiao Zhan looked coldly at the surrounded enemy leader, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
The enemy leader looked at the dark masses of soldiers around him and knew that he had no way to escape.
He closed his eyes in despair, ready to draw his sword and commit suicide to preserve his last bit of dignity.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded: "Wait."
The enemy leader suddenly opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xue riding a warhorse, slowly walking towards him.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Jiang Xue looked down at him with cold eyes.
The enemy leader laughed bitterly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say."
"No, you have something else to say."
Jiang Xue's mouth curled up into a sneer: "You, have to go with us."
The bright fireworks reflected on Jiang Xue's solemn face. She suddenly felt that the letter in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it hard for her to breathe.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" At this time, Xiao Zhan's gentle voice sounded, with a hint of worry.
Jiang Xue looked at Xiao Zhan, then handed the letter in her hand to Xiao Zhan: "Yun Che, take a look at it yourself."
Xiao Zhan quickly finished reading the letter, his expression somewhat cold: "The people of the Jiang family really don't come to the temple for no reason. I'm afraid they want to use you to do something by asking you to go back this time."
There was a hint of coldness in his tone. Ever since Jiang Li framed Xiaoxue last time, his impression of the Jiang family had hit rock bottom.
"I know, but I can't just ignore my father's illness." Jiang Xue's voice was low, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She understood Xiao Zhan's worries, but how could blood ties be severed just like that?
"Xiaoxue, you are too kind! They will only push their limits!"
Xiao Zhan held her hand and said anxiously, "I'll go back with you."
"No need."
Jiang Xue shook her head: "You have a special identity, so it's not appropriate for you to appear in the Jiang residence. Besides, I also want to find out what they are planning."
"But..." Xiao Zhan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Xue.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
She gave him a reassuring smile and turned to walk towards the carriage that had been prepared.
Xiao Zhan looked at her receding back, his heart filled with worry.
He clenched his fists and secretly decided in his heart that he must protect Xiaoxue no matter what.
The Jiang Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s some happy occasion.
However, Jiang Xue knew that this was just a common trick of the Jiang family. They said one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and they were even better at it than the Sichuan Opera's face-changing.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of Jiang Mansion, she felt a strange atmosphere. The servants were whispering.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is back!" The shrill voice of the Jiang residence's butler sounded, with a hint of sarcasm.
Jiang Xue glanced at him coldly and walked straight to the hall.
In the hall, Jiang Li was wearing a pink dress, looking gorgeous and charming.
She sat next to Mr. Jiang, looking like a filial daughter.
Seeing Jiang Xue coming in, Jiang Li sneered: "Hey, isn't this our princess? Why are you willing to go back to this little place?"
Jiang Xue didn't bother to pay attention to her provocation and walked directly to Master Jiang: "Uncle, are you feeling better?"
Mr. Jiang coughed twice, his eyes flickering: "It's okay, it's okay."
