Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 563

Chapter 563: Chapter 560: The Coming Day_1

Changmao was still intercepting at the East Gate; she was not completely without a chance.

But if she died, then there would be nothing left.

Not to mention, just now, she used too much force to lift that man from the Nanrong Imperial Family to intimidate the Nanrong army. It seemed she slightly injured her arm, and her tense muscles now felt somewhat soft.

Lu Ping saw that Bai Qingyan had calmed down and motioned for the Bai family guards and Dengzhou Army to move forward. "Clear the way!"

The Dengzhou Army, confident in their victory, was already bloodthirsty. Now that the defeat of Nanrong was evident, they fought and retreated, no longer resisting.

"Carve out a path and head straight for the East Gate!" Bai Qingyan scanned the Dengzhou Army, who were also fighting fiercely, and shouted, "Capture the Ghost Mask General alive!"

The Ghost Mask General had just recently become famous. Having fought the new war general Xie Xun of Yan several times, he performed excellently. Since Dengzhou was so close to Nanrong, the Dengzhou Army naturally knew how different Nanrong had become after acquiring this Ghost Mask General.

If they could capture the Ghost Mask General alive, they would no longer have to fear him in the future!

The Dengzhou Army’s roars shook the heavens and earth. Holding their long swords tightly, they fought even more desperately.

Lu Ping wished for the young lady to meet the young master. He guarded Bai Qingyan closely and whispered to the Bai family guards to find an opportunity to first cut a bloody path and escort the young lady smoothly to the East Gate.

At the East Gate.

Dong Changmao saw the Nanrong men shouting something on the city wall. The East Gate slowly opened, and the Ghost Mask General charged forward on horseback at the forefront to exit the city...

Hiding men, Dong Changmao leaped onto his horse, drew his sword, and shouted, "Intercept and kill the Rong men! Capture the Ghost Mask General alive!"

Seeing their comrades breaching the city, such an achievement... it could not be claimed by these Dengzhou light cavalry who waited here. How could they not be anxious?

Now that the East Gate was open, the Nanrong men would surely retreat from there. Their chance for merit had come!

The Dengzhou soldiers were boiling with passion. Hearing Dong Changmao drew his sword and shouted, they screamed like crazed.

"Intercept and kill the Rong dogs! Capture the Ghost Mask General alive!"

"Intercept and kill the Rong dogs! Capture the Ghost Mask General alive!"

"Intercept and kill the Rong dogs! Capture the Ghost Mask General alive!"

Dong Changlan pointed his sword towards the East Gate. "Kill!"

"Kill..."

Three thousand light cavalrymen suddenly appeared on the concealed hilltop, drew their swords, and charged towards the Nanrong soldiers at the East Gate, galloping rapidly.

Dust flew in all directions. Three thousand iron cavalrymen surged like a tide, with accelerating hoofbeats and rising shouts of battle echoing to the heavens, piercing through the ninth sky.

Seeing this scene, the general beside the Ghost Mask General grew fearful and yelled, "General! It’s an ambush! General, take the grain and leave first... We will cover the rear!"

Bai Qingyu calculated the time it would take Dong Changmao and the others to charge down and realized they couldn’t intercept him. He controlled the reins with one hand and threw his sword to the general with the other: "Relay the order not to engage in battle! Carve a bloody path and return to Nanrong with the grain! This grain is crucial for us to survive this winter!"

This time, Dong Changmao did not let the light cavalry crossbowmen shoot arrows. Before leaving, Dong Qingyue specifically instructed not to use bows and arrows. Dong Changmao was to hinder the Nanrong men slightly and then let them go. This would be enough to give an explanation to the Emperor!
