Chapter 789: My Darling Granddaughter is Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Forcing the army was the most intense method of marching. Infantry could travel a hundred miles a day, but this method of marching consumed a huge amount of stamina. It might even reach the limit of humans. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not use forced armies.
When they received the military order, the new recruits were at a loss, but the veterans understood.
After a night of fighting, they only rested for four hours before taking forceful measures to support Zi Town. Even Lord Wu An and Wei Xu had never challenged this hellish difficulty when they were alive.
However, no one complained.
They hugged their weapons and lay down. They closed their eyes and began to rest.
Su Xiaoxiao seized four hours and operated on the seriously injured. Then, she handed it to the medical officer in the army.
In addition, she left 2,000 people for Jia County. They were led by Fu Su and disguised as the Northern Yan army.
Zi Town was a total of 50 miles from Jia County, but because most of the roads were mountain roads, the roads were dangerous and brought considerable difficulty to the forceful army.
Heavy snowfall fell from the sky, and the cold wind whistled over with snowflakes. The army marched on the uneven mountain path against the cold snow.
Suddenly, a soldier slipped and fell towards the cliff at the side. Fortunately, Zhang Yong was behind him and pulled him over in time.
The army continued forward.
“Chirp chirp!” Wuhu in Jing Yi’s arms flapped their wings and cried out.
“Something’s wrong!” Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold. She raised her hand and gestured for him to stop.
The sergeants passed down the hand gestures one by one, and the army instantly stopped.
Everyone lay on the ground and quietly hid on the mountain range.
Su Xiaoxiao brought Jing Yi and Zhang Yong to a big tree and looked at a group of people on the official road ahead under the cover of the branches.
“It’s the cavalry and archers under Leng Kui,” Zhang Yong said. “That person in armor is Leng Kui. I know his armor.”
Leng Kui!
Su Xiaoxiao muttered this name in her heart. She raised her hand to take the golden bow on her back, drew an arrow, and pulled the bowstring, aiming at Leng Kui’s head.
Zhang Yong looked at her in shock.
Jing Yi’s gaze did not change at all.
Anyway, if she wanted to kill him, so be it. No matter if it was right or wrong, he would only protect her.
The bowstring was pulled taut, making a creaking sound, almost breaking.
However, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t shoot until Leng Kui turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the official road.
Zhang Yong relaxed.
An indescribable complicated feeling surged in his heart. For a moment just now, he hoped that she would kill Leng Kui.
However, after she let Leng Kui off, he actually felt relieved.
Leng Kui had brought at least 2,000 cavalry and archers, and there were a few generals beside him. If they killed him now, it would cause both sides to fight. Qin Canglan and the soldiers of Zi Town could not wait, and it would put the situation in the barbican into a passive state.
Not only did she not nurse personal grudges in her heart, but she also cared about the lives of the soldiers and the righteousness of her country.
“Continue on your way.”
Su Xiaoxiao put away her bow and returned to the team.
She would personally come and take Leng Kui’s life another day!
Zi Town.
This was the fourth day since Qin Canglan led the troops to the city. They had run out of food three days ago. When they were hungry, they would grab a handful of snow from the ground to eat.
Qin Canglan took out all his money to buy food, but the food in the city had long been bought by Leng Kui. The commoners did not have much leftover food for the winter. Some of the items that Qin Canglan barely bought were given to the injured soldiers and patients as a priority.
He had not eaten for three days.
Starvation and cold was not the most terrifying thing. What was terrifying was that after attacking continuously for the past few days, more and more soldiers had fallen. If this continued, they would not last through the night.
“Marshal. ”
Liu Ren walked up the city tower with unsteady steps. He was dizzy from hunger, his lips were dry and bleeding, and there were frostbites on his cheeks and the back of his hand.
