"Your Highness, this can't go on!" Yang Xiao, who had been following behind Lu Yanzheng, was deeply worried upon seeing the situation.
Hanba was still shouting from the other side, "Warriors of Xiqiang, charge!"
After fighting for half an hour, Lu Yanzheng's forehead began to bead with sweat. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and replied, "We can't back down!"
Behind him were thousands of people from Dingshui Village, including his family and the people he loved most. He absolutely could not back down!
At this moment, Jiang Qinyu could already see the scene of Lu Yanzheng and others fighting.
She witnessed firsthand how ordinary soldiers of the Northwest Army formed a defensive line with their bodies. If someone died at the hands of the Western Qiang, someone else would immediately fill that position, preventing the Western Qiang from crossing the line!
Jiang Qinyu bit her lip, took a deep breath, turned her foot, and found a secluded place.
The talisman in her hand suddenly floated into the air. Jiang Qinyu stared at the talisman and whispered, "Destroy!"
The next instant, the talisman flew out, circled most of the village, and then stood in the middle, a soft light flashing past.
Jiang Qinyu watched without blinking. In an instant, the area where the talisman had flown was enveloped in a hazy light, and the fire inside the light shield was extinguished in the blink of an eye!
I can hardly believe that such a thing really exists in this world. Do the magic spells described in TV shows and novels really exist?
Jiang Qinyu was glad she hadn't blinked, otherwise she wouldn't have seen how the fire was extinguished.
However, it took Li, the village chief, and the others a while to notice that the fire at the back of the village had been extinguished.
"Wow! Ah Zheng's wife's method really worked! Village chief, look! The fire behind the village has been put out!"
"Oops, it really is destroyed!"
"Hey, who went to spread soil behind the village? Didn't the village chief just say that the fire behind the village was too fierce and he was afraid it couldn't be put out, so he told us to put out the fires that weren't burning as fiercely first?"
"..."
Everyone was busy putting out the fire while keeping an eye on the back of the village, and they were also able to talk at the same time.
A fleeting look of astonishment crossed Aping's eyes as he watched the situation behind the village from a distance.
She must be the princess. How did she manage that?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Aping immediately stopped the random thoughts from wandering in his head.
Regardless of how the princess managed it, the fire was extinguished and so many people in Dingshui Village were saved, so he shouldn't overthink it.
Qin Ziyi and Grandpa Lu's attention was also drawn to the fire that had suddenly gone out behind the village.
"Heaven is helping me!" Qin Ziyi exclaimed.
Old Master Lu stroked his beard and said, "I didn't understand before why Arui wanted me to hand over all the resources I had to the Prince, but now I do."
"Oh? What makes you say that, Lao Lu?" Qin Ziyi asked him.
Grandpa Lu said, "It's very simple. Heaven helps those who help themselves. Look at the Prince and Princess, and the people of Dingshui Village. They clearly knew that someone had broken in, and the raging fire looked like it was about to burn them to death, but did one of them back down or run away?"
He had only heard that the people of Dingshui Village were very united, but at that time he was protected by Jiang Qinyu at the Lu family and had never seen it with his own eyes.
The fire broke out too suddenly tonight. Because the Lu family's place was large, they were able to escape in time. Also, it's unclear whether those people showed mercy, but the fire at the Lu family's place wasn't too big, and they could even extinguish it with water.
However, fearing for their safety, Jiang Qinyu had them brought out, and her belongings were being moved out of the house in an orderly manner.
“Indeed,” Qin Ziyi nodded, “You’re right, God helps those who help themselves.”
Even the heavens are helping Lu Yanzheng; the world of Da Yue is truly about to change!
With the fire extinguished, the situation on Lu Yanzheng's side also changed.
"What happened? How did the fire in their village get out?" Hanba roared. "Didn't the Imperial Advisor say this fire couldn't be put out?"
His voice was loud, and Jiang Qinyu's senses were very sharp, so she heard everything he said.
Sure enough, these people deliberately used oil as fuel to start the fire!
Jiang Qinyu coldly watched the Western Qiang people in the darkness.
Almost an hour has passed since the chaos began, hasn't it?
"Protect the prince! Kill these Western Qiang people! Attack!"
Just then, Jiang Qinyu saw Wei Chengzong riding his horse quickly toward the end of the village.
Jiang Qinyu's eyes brightened slightly; she knew their reinforcements would arrive!
Accompanying Wei Chengzhong were two thousand elite troops and artillery that had just been transported to Yongshan County two days prior!
Lu Yanzheng naturally heard Wei Chengzhong and the others. He turned his gaze and attacked Hanba directly!
"Brothers, our men are here! Kill them!"
The morale of the Northwest Army was greatly boosted once again. In addition, the men brought by Wei Chengzhong replaced the previous batch of soldiers who were exhausted or injured, greatly increasing the strength of the Northwest Army.
In battle, both sides suffer losses. The Western Qiang warriors never expected to encounter such a tough opponent today.
Seeing the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements, the faces of these suicide soldiers grew even colder.
Hanba was startled. While desperately fending off Lu Yanzheng's attacks, he shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Send a team to the Lu family to rescue the Fifth Prince!"
The assassins immediately obeyed orders and quickly dispatched dozens of them to charge towards Jiang Qinyu's house.
"Don't even think about it!" Lu Yanzheng snorted coldly, his attacks becoming even more fierce, forcing Hanba to retreat step by step.
Jiang Chengyou was no longer with the Lu family, but Lu Yanzheng didn't want Hanba to know that none of these Western Qiang people would escape today!
"Your Highness, be careful!" Wei Chengzong shouted a warning.
Lu Yanzheng dodged the sneak attack from behind and killed two assassins on the spot with a swift move.
"Your turn!" Lu Yanzheng's icy gaze swept over Hanba, and with a leap, his longsword pierced towards him like lightning!
Lu Yanzheng moved quickly, and Hanba had no time to dodge. He only slightly turned his body, but the long sword still pierced his heart.
Seeing this, the remaining assassins were also spurred on by their determination to die and began a large-scale counterattack.
"Retreat!" Lu Yanzheng suddenly shouted, then used his lightness skill to retreat.
The Northwest Army obeyed orders without question, and upon hearing this, they all immediately retreated.
At this moment, the cannons brought by Wei Chengzhong appeared in front of the group of Western Qiang warriors.
"Fire!" Wei Chengzong gave the order, and the three cannons fired simultaneously.
The Western Qiang assassins are currently gathered together because of Hanba's death, but the information they initially gathered was that Dingshui Village did not have gunpowder weapons, so these people were completely unprepared.
Three shells pierced the ranks of the suicide squad; even the most skilled person couldn't withstand them!
In that instant, half of the thousands of warriors of the Western Qiang died.
"Continue!" Lu Yanzheng coldly ordered without any mercy.
Wei Chengzong had no intention of letting these people go, and shouted again, "Release them!"
The second round of shells was also fired.
However, this time the surviving assassins were on guard, and some of those with exceptional agility escaped.
Lu Yanzheng shouted, "Go! We can't let any of them escape!"
