The curved blade pierced the abdomen of the woman wearing a red flower in her hair, while the sharp blade emerged from her back amidst the blood. Liu Xiaohua raised her sword and slashed back, then pulled the curved blade out and fell to the ground.
"Senior Sister!"
"flower!"
The cold-faced man quickly dealt with the few Huns in front of him and ran over, wanting to pick up his beloved lying on the ground. But before he could reach her, he saw several old men in white blouses with white hair and beards slip into the crowd. Two of them lifted Liu Xiaohua onto a stretcher, while the two men at the front cleared the way with broadswords.
The leader of Zhanchen Tower stared blankly at the pool of blood on the ground, then picked up his sword and fought with the Xiongnu again.
"Senior brother, where is my senior sister?" Jiang Tianxin kicked a Hun away and came to Eleven and asked.
The man seemed to be sad for only a second, as if there was a tightness in his chest that he hadn't had time to process, so he said in a daze...
"Your senior sister was lying here just now."
"Yeah, I see him. Where is he?"
"He was carried away by the old man with the white beard."
Another person fell beside her. This time it was a girl in a white blouse. Hou Xiangxiang recognized the person wielding the sword and said hello.
"You look somewhat familiar."
While talking, his hands didn't stop. He lifted another assassin from Zhanchen Tower onto a stretcher. The girl hid behind her senior brother, running towards the city as she hid.
"Aren't you the kid who fought with me at Biluo Manor before?!" Hou Xiangxiang suddenly remembered that she was the tough little girl.
The sound faded into the distance, disappearing into the shouts. Jiang Tianxin almost laughed; this little girl was still so talkative, her little mouth never stopped chattering even during the battle.
The person is already covered in thorns, what's the point of saving them?
What's the point of taking it back?
One by one, her senior brothers and sisters fell, and she wondered when it would be her turn. The girl looked up at the sky, tore off a strip of cloth from her clothes, and wrapped the sword tightly around her hand.
As a child, she was the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue in the capital. Now, she is the junior sister of Zhanchen Tower.
Regardless of her identity, she was a person of the Great Yan.
It's only natural!
To guard the borders of the Great Yan!
"Mother-in-law, they're at war. Would it be too late for us to go...?"
Miao Jiang also received a message from Miao Cuifang, asking her family to bring people to provide support, saying they could come in time for the battle but not for the feast. Compared to the southwestern garrison, Miao Jiang was closer.
In recent years, Miao areas have developed well, and the children have not gone out to make a living. They stay at home to grow crops, harvest chili peppers, and raise pigs, living a good life.
When the mother-in-law said that everyone in the village was going, the Holy Maiden felt that it was too late to help her. She wondered if it would be alright to leave a group of old people to take care of the land.
But when everyone arrived at the entrance of Pingyang County, the Holy Maiden felt that she was still too young and not as experienced as her mother-in-law.
Look at the fighting! Luckily, the whole village came. Otherwise, if she had brought a group of people, it would have been useless.
"Grandma, shall we go?"
The elderly man with gray hair glanced at the current Holy Maiden, sighed, and said, "This child is just lucky; she doesn't need so much worry."
"Why would so many of us Miao people go up there? It would be a disgrace to the reputation we've earned in the martial arts world."
The old priestess reached out and hooked a Xiongnu corpse with her cane. She took out a Gu worm from her bosom to draw blood. She raised her hands, took out a wooden box from her waist and opened it. Immediately, ants and insects flew up behind the old woman. The Miao people behind her followed suit, and the battlefield sky was instantly covered with a dense swarm of insects and insects.
Those martial artists who were fighting alongside the Xiongnu felt their legs go weak at the sight of the swarming insects, and some even asked...
"Why don't we run to the city first, and then come out to fight them after these Miao people have released their insects?"
“Young Master Zhang, I’m not afraid of death, really. In all my years in the martial world, no one has ever said I’m afraid of death. To die for one’s country is a noble cause, and I, Bai, am willing to do so. But right now, could I find a place to hide for a while? The swarms of insects are really terrifying. You watch, they’ll be banging that little broken drum soon.”
"What little broken drum? Bai En, this is a cowhide drum, it's very expensive! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll make sure you stay in bed for half a year!" Miao Xinzhi also came over this time. Hearing her ex-boyfriend's mouth slandering Miao Jiang again, she flew forward and said.
“Every time, the people of the Central Plains can come up with something strange and unusual. Last time it was a heavy crossbow that couldn’t be pulled even after a hundred years, and this time it’s pitch-black bugs. General, give the order to retreat.”
After saying this, the Xiongnu was bitten by a tiny mosquito and immediately felt dizzy, unable to even hold his sword steady.
"The Imperial Advisor has ordered: Defend Pingyang to the death! Light the fire!"
Mosquitoes are afraid of firelight. The raging fire and thick smoke prevented them from landing and biting people. The old woman put away the Gu poison in her hand, the insect mist dissipated, and she gave a look to the people behind her.
The Miao people then joined the battle, which balanced the numbers somewhat, and the Xiongnu were visibly routed.
Miao Cuifang and Liu Xu exchanged a glance and said
"My mother-in-law is here."
The woman said
"Don't be shy with me this time. Your mother-in-law and the others have been a great help, so you should treat them to a good time."
The red python on Liu Xu's waist darted out like lightning, circled behind the Xiongnu, and bit his neck. Then, hearing its master's slightly panting voice, it left Liu Xu's waist and climbed onto Miao Cuifang's arm.
The army collapsed like a house of cards, and the enemy troops at the back gate of the city were unable to come to their aid for a long time. The red-armored girl who had just killed the general also disappeared.
Huo Xiaolong, along with his private soldiers, fought against several women from the brothel, who wielded weapons with great force, from the front gate all the way to the back gate. His hands were splattered with blood and became somewhat slippery.
She stood there on horseback, bathed in the setting sun, her face covered in blood, the large sword in her hand dripping crimson from its blade. Huo Xiaolong transferred the sword to his left hand, touched the fabric of his clothing with his right hand, then gripped the sword tightly and pointed it at the enemy general, saying...
"Again!"
Judging from your appearance, how many can you cut down?
You petty scoundrels, though the grasslands belong to you, they will eventually fall into my hands.
I will use this crowd as a ladder to reach for the stars.
