Chapter 158 Ancient Rebellion Foolish Female Supporting Character 28 Siege
With this victory, Yan Mi and Yan Cheng each led their men to harass the Zhao people everywhere. They did not engage in continuous battles, but instead burned their food supplies or stole their weapons and ran away. Every time, the Zhao people were confused.
As a last resort, the people of Zhao had to gather together in one place to prevent harassment from Cheng.
Half a month later, inside the Zhao Palace.
Zhao Mingzhang was so angry that he was shaking. "These Cheng people are so insidious. I will not forgive them for such behavior. Have someone contact that woman."
If he could learn Cheng Guo's next plan from Yan Mi, he would be able to catch the turtle in the jar.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Chengguo returned to Beijing a month ago, and that person may have gone back with him." said the imperial teacher.
Zhao Mingzhang stood up and said, "Useless thing, you can't even handle such a small matter."
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The imperial teacher was helpless.
Although they could send spies to gather information, they could not get close to the core secrets, and the losses would be even more serious if they were discovered.
"I will go to the battlefield in person. As long as I am here, the people of Cheng will not have to be afraid." Zhao Mingzhang really couldn't bear to see his army being defeated.
"Your Majesty, no, you are the king of a country. Maybe they just want to lure you out." The national teacher quickly dissuaded him.
Zhao Mingzhang ignored the Imperial Master's words. "Have someone prepare everything for me. I will personally support them this time and will absolutely not give the Cheng people any opportunity to exploit their weakness."
The imperial teacher was unable to dissuade him and could only follow his advice.
When Zhao Mingzhang arrived at the battlefield, all he heard was the legend about a person.
"The Cheng people are really good at covering up. They clearly have such a powerful person, but they still hide him and deliberately don't let him out. This time, we suffered a great loss."
"Cheng people are very cunning and are most likely to scheme and plot. I despise such people the most."
"That's right, they also use those firecrackers to scare people. Every time you think they're firing, it turns out it's just a bluff!"
Zhao Mingzhang only heard about a lot of information when he arrived on the battlefield.
He grabbed a soldier and asked, "You said you were defeated this time? Didn't we tell you to retreat to the city?"
"Your Majesty." The man who was grabbed by the collar could not speak clearly.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Zhao Mingzhang was full of confidence when he came here, but now he says that they have lost again?
"Your Majesty, it was Chengguo who attacked the city today. We tried our best to defend it, but there was a mysterious female soldier in Chengguo who was very powerful. She killed many of our brothers. It was General An who took action to repel them." The person who spoke was trembling.
Zhao Mingzhang threw the man down and said, "I hope you didn't lie to me."
He must go to General An to find out.
When he saw General An, General An was still recovering from his injuries.
Doctors were coming in and out, and it seemed that General An was seriously injured.
The deputy general couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, General An was seriously injured this time. I'm afraid he won't be able to go back to the battlefield for a while."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail." Zhao Mingzhang asked.
The fact that his generals could still be defeated shows that Cheng State did retain its strength.
He must meet this person when he has time.
If he could make the other party work for him, Cheng Guo would have nothing to fear.
"A few days ago, Chengguo suddenly attacked the city..."
According to Yan's father's plan, after harassing them, they must take the opportunity to attack the city, so as to put the greatest pressure on them.
However, his injuries had not yet fully recovered, so Yan Cheng had to go with his deputy general and soldiers to attack the city.
After hearing this, Yan Mi thought how could she not be allowed to participate in such a big event.
Just as Yan's father and the others were discussing strategy, Yan Mi rushed in.
"Dad, I want to go to the battlefield too. Let me go with my brother." Yan Mi said.
"No, you'll just cause trouble if you go." Father Yan refused without thinking.
Yan Mi sat on the chair like a rogue, "If you don't let me go, then I will sneak away. If I get hurt, mother and the emperor will definitely blame you, and then I will say it's your fault."
Threatened by Yan Mi, Yan's father grinned and said, "Okay, very good. You still want to threaten your father, right?"
Even though he was extremely angry with Yan Mi, Yan's father loved Yan Mi so much that he couldn't possibly hit her.
Finally, Yan Mi obtained the consent of Yan's father.
"Brother, I can be your subordinate." Yan Mi smiled.
Since Yan's father has agreed, there is no point for Yan Cheng to object.
"You have to protect yourself," he said.
Yan Mi nodded, "I know, don't worry."
When she followed him onto the battlefield and led the troops to the foot of the city captured by Zhao State, Yan Mi's eyes were filled with excitement and her blood was boiling.
This was her first time walking onto the battlefield, with the enemy in front of her and thousands of soldiers behind her.
Yan Cheng went to challenge them, but the Zhao people seemed to ignore him.
When Yan's mother looked up, she saw that they had already set up bows and arrows and artillery batteries on the city walls.
Yan Cheng ordered his troops to take a defensive stance, and the rear was also prepared.
Before Zhao could take action, they took the initiative.
Yan Mi walked through the rain of arrows, protecting the others as they attacked the city.
There are advantages to playing high and low, so they have to be extra careful.
Seeing that the city gate was about to be breached, the Zhao people actually opened the city gate and fought them head-on.
Yan Mi picked out the general in the crowd at a glance, and he was actually hiding behind the soldiers.
She couldn't help but despise the other person in her heart.
She did not rush forward rashly, but instead chose the right moment and fought her way to face the general.
The bearded general, upon seeing that it was a woman, was filled with disdain and sneered, "Is Chengguo so short of men? They're still letting women fight on the battlefield? Young lady, I'll let you go, but you better run."
Yan Mi snorted, "Since I'm a soldier on the battlefield, I won't be a deserter."
The bearded general laughed even louder. "You can't beat me, and you still won't let me go. Then I'll give you a quick death."
Yan Mi clenched the sword in his hand, "Why don't you try it, I kill you or you kill me."
The opponent was using a large axe that looked quite heavy. If Yan Mi wanted to cause damage to the opponent, he could only use his wits.
Yan Mi took advantage of the other party's carelessness, pretended to be injured, and struck him with a sword when he relaxed.
The bearded general was stabbed in the arm. He was furious. "Bah, the Cheng people are really insidious and cunning. I'm going to kill you today."
Yan Mi smiled and dodged the opponent's attack, "You can't kill me."
The bearded general was completely oblivious to Yan Mi's words. His axe was heavy and slow, but extremely powerful. He swung it several times but failed to hit Yan Mi, which made him even angrier.
"Why are you like a loach? Stop right there." The bearded general's face turned red.
Yan Mi shook his head, "Do you think I'm stupid? I'll stand here and let you fight me."
The two continued to fight for a few more rounds. Suddenly, the bearded general felt a pain in his heart, the axe fell from his hand, and his legs were too weak to stand.
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything. There's just a little thing on the sword." Yan Mi chuckled.
The bearded general's eyes widened. "You are shameless."
Yan Mi wanted to say something, but she heard someone calling her. She turned her head and saw Yan Cheng surrounded by people.
Yan Mi stopped talking nonsense and stabbed the bearded general a few more times to make sure he was dead. Then she turned around and ran to help Yan Cheng.
Although Yan Cheng had the help of other soldiers, those soldiers were no match for those people and would die if they rushed forward.
When she got closer and saw the wounds on Yan Cheng's body, she became furious.
Taking advantage of his speed, he sneak attacked one of them.
Taking advantage of the gap, she walked over to Yan Cheng and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"
Yan Cheng shook his head, the spear in his hand already trembling slightly.
"These four guys are very powerful. You can't beat them." Yan Cheng said, "Wait a moment, I'll cover you. You leave quickly and I'll hold them back."
Before Yan Mi could say anything, the leader of the four said, "Hahaha, you can't win the fight yourself and yet you still call a woman to save you. I'm afraid General Yan's reputation for bravery and fighting skills is also earned by women."
Yan Cheng ignored them and was determined to let Yan Mi escape.
"Brother, if I come to rescue you, it means I am absolutely sure that these people will only be defeated by me."
The four of them laughed, "Just you?"
Yan Mi's eyes flashed with ferocity, but he did not answer.
They felt they were being looked down upon and immediately rushed forward, shouting, "If we don't kill you today, others will say we four brothers are pushovers."
Yan Cheng had no choice but to pick up his gun and continue fighting.
The two of them cooperated well, and Yan Mi took care of the four people in front of Yan Cheng. Yan Cheng felt proud and disappointed.
Yan Mi is so powerful now, he is proud, but he can no longer compare to his sister. If his arm is still there...
"Thank you." Yan Cheng said.
Yan Mi exclaimed, "Brother, are you my brother? You actually speak so politely to me."
Yan Cheng smiled, "Alright, let's retreat now that the time is almost up. The result has been achieved this time."
In terms of numbers, they naturally have the advantage, but they don't really want to attack the city this time.
Not far away, someone ran over and said to Yan Mi and Yan Cheng, "Young General, Madam, I just received news that Emperor Zhao has led his troops here. General Yan's orders are to retreat first."
"Brother, let's go quickly. You take the soldiers and go first. I will come to find you after I finish dealing with the rest." Yan Mi said.
Yan Cheng wanted to persuade her, but when he thought of Yan Mi's performance just now, he could only nod and said, "Don't get hurt, come back quickly."
Yan Mi nodded, "Okay."
After Yan Cheng left, Yan Mi sneaked into the battlefield again until the retreat signal came and the Cheng soldiers began to retreat.
Yan Mi was responsible for cutting off the rear and trying to save as many soldiers as possible.
But she didn't expect to meet the general of Zhao State again.
"Are you An Xunhao? I am the newly promoted deputy general under General Yan. I wonder if I can challenge you." Yan Mi's eyes were burning with fire, and he was very excited about this competition.
An Xunhao never underestimates his enemies. "If you, a weak woman, really want to challenge this general, I will show no mercy."
This was exactly the effect Yan Mi wanted. She looked at her sword and said, "I know General An is a hero. I have coated this sword with poison, so I won't use it."
She looked around and picked up a sword on the ground, "I'll fight you with this."
An Xunhao's eyes twitched. They were on the battlefield all year round, and the weapons in their hands were their lives. Only those who were well-matched with the weapons could achieve unexpected results on the battlefield.
But at this moment, the masked woman in front of him actually picked up a sword casually. Either she was too ignorant, or she was completely confident that she could defeat him.
Either way, he won't let his guard down.
The rest of the Cheng Kingdom had already retreated, leaving only Yan Mi and An Xunhao on the battlefield.
Neither of them wasted any time and started fighting right away.
An Xunhao is indeed powerful, but his fighting power is just like her brother's before, so it is easy for her to defeat An Xunhao.
Yan Mi did not hold back. No matter what, the other party was the enemy who caused her brother to break his arm.
An Xunhao was defeated. He knelt on the ground, full of disbelief, "Why did you..."
Yan Mi heard another signal from behind her. She knew it was Yan Cheng urging her to leave quickly. She looked at An Xunhao and said, "General An, I won't kill you, but if you hurt my brother's arm, I will take one of yours as well."
She drew her sword quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and a stream of hot blood splashed on her black armor. "Goodbye, I hope you'll be alive next time."
Yan Mi turned and ran away. The Zhao soldiers wanted to rush over and kill Yan Mi, but were stopped by An Xunhao. He looked at Yan Mi's back and said to the soldiers, "Don't chase me. Take me to get treatment first."
