Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 588
Chapter 588 Fierce Confrontation
After less than half an hour, 500 people dressed in black night clothes quickly and carefully entered the water by a dark river in the north of the city. They moved in unison without making any noise!
Afterwards, these people placed one end of the straw in the air and the other end in their mouths as they swam across the dark river.
The figures of these people were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, they had already swam far away.
Because of the movements of these people, there was an imperceptible ripple on the surface of the river.
If you don’t pay attention to it, it’s hard to find anything strange on the surface of the water.
After swimming for a short time, these soldiers would carefully inspect the surroundings before continuing to sneak.
Twenty-five minutes later, they finally left Border City and saw a few guards standing by the river not far away. The leader slowly made a hand gesture under the water and saw everyone immediately standing still, waiting for the next order!
After lurking in the water for a while, The leader carefully led the five people forward. Stopping again near the Country of Xiyue soldiers, After carefully observing it, He didn’t see anything unusual about the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Only then did he slowly poke his head out. Then, he took out a small bamboo-like object from his bosom and blew it towards the soldiers in front of him. He saw a silver needle fly out of it. The silver needle shot into the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty with lightning speed. Then, he saw the soldiers of Country of Xiyue fall one by one.
After the leader finished off all the soldiers, he quickly rolled over and disembarked. Then, the people in the water also disembarked at the fastest speed possible.
The leader gestured to everyone, Everyone took advantage of the darkness to quickly move forward, Bypassing the sieging soldiers, they quickly moved forward. After walking for fifteen minutes, they finally found Country of Xiyue’s tent and grain. The leader carefully took out the fire, then lit it one by one and handed it to the other soldiers to distribute. After that, he nodded and walked towards the grain in Country of Xiyue.
One by one, the sneaky figures moved forward. When they saw the people blocking them, they used the silver needles in the small bamboo joints to kill the soldiers of Country of Xiyue. Then, they continued forward. Not long after, they saw a granary and lit it up.
After the first granary was lit, the soldiers left behind in Country of Xiyue quickly rushed towards the place where the granary was lit. However, before the soldiers could approach, they saw the second and third granaries lit one by one.
The entire tent was in chaos. Soldiers were busy putting out fires and arresting people. In an instant, the scene was unprecedented chaos.
In this chaos, the black-clothed men quickly retreated. Not long after, they retreated outside the tent. However, soldiers immediately chased after them. These people were not afraid and immediately fought with the Country of Xiyue soldiers.
Under the command of the leader, these people fought and retreated. Although they were injured, there weren’t many casualties!
When they retreated to the siege of the West Vietnamese soldiers, they immediately lit up the firecrackers they had been carrying around their waist and threw them at the West Vietnamese soldiers.
The sound of firecrackers exploding was very loud. For a moment, in the entire battlefield, apart from shouting for death, there was also the sound of “crackling” explosions. People instinctively chose to avoid such sounds.
There were people who wanted to turn around and kill, as well as people who kept dodging the sounds of firecrackers, and there were even many who stamped their feet on the spot.
In just a short moment, the original formation was completely messed up.
…
Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo went up the tower together and looked into the distance. When they saw that the camp of the Country of Xiyue soldiers’ granaries was on fire, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. When they saw that the formation of the Country of Xiyue soldiers was in chaos, they exchanged glances and saw a trace of joy in each other’s eyes.
Yun Xiao nodded at Rong Ruo. Rong Ruo had the soldiers put all the powder of the hallucinogens and sweat medicine into the firecrackers, then lit them and threw them under the tower.
All of a sudden, the sound of “crackling” was heard non-stop.
Everything that was visible was the appearance of West Vietnamese soldiers jumping on the spot. As the firecrackers circled around, the powder in the marker firecrackers also spilled out and flowed back and forth between the West Vietnamese soldiers.
In just a short moment, the West Vietnamese soldiers had fallen to the ground.
After the soldiers in this area fell, the morale of the soldiers on the city walls immediately rose. They drew their bows and shot arrows, continuously shooting the arrows in the direction of Country of Xiyue.
Rong Ruo raised her small hand high up and put it down again. Then, she heard a few creaks. Then, the city gate of Border City opened wide. The five thousand elite soldiers who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time immediately rode out with their swords in their hands!
The two armies clashed. Looking at the collapsed West Vietnamese soldiers outside, the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were even more excited. They even cheered and rushed towards the West Vietnamese soldiers.
Looking at the countless people who had fallen on the battlefield just a moment ago, Yun Xiao could only see traces of blood in front of her eyes. Blood was everywhere.
This scene reminded Yun Xiao of the scene in her previous life when more than 200 members of the Yun Clan were beheaded and shown to the public. Blood also dyed the entire land red!
Yun Xiao couldn’t help but shake her body slightly. She tried her best to calm herself down, but the scene of her father being delayed flashed in her mind. Her eyes were dyed red with blood, causing Yun Xiao to only feel cold in front of her. In a moment, the cold Yun Xiao hugged her shoulder.
Rong Ruo was the closest to Yun Xiao. Seeing Yun Xiao’s strange behavior, she immediately grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand and said with a worried expression, “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Are you afraid of such a scene? Let me help you down to rest for a while, right?”
Yun Xiao shook her head. She wanted to just watch like this. Only by watching like this could Yun Xiao feel that she was clearly still alive.
Rong Ruo frowned and whispered, “Mother, if Daddy finds out that you don’t care about your body like this, he will definitely be angry. Are you really not going back?”
Yun Xiao faintly glanced at Rong Ruo and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’m fine. Besides, I’ve seen bloody scenes before.”
Rong Ruo was slightly surprised. He did not know when Yun Xiao had seen such a scene. However, he did not pursue it further. He saw that Yun Xiao’s body was still shaking nonstop, and his ears were filled with the shouts of soldiers from the two armies. There were also some painful cries.
He thought for a moment and then said, “Mother, the tower is a little cold. You can go down first. If you can’t be idle, you can help the soldiers bandage up their bodies first.” As long as Yunxiao has something to do, I believe Yunxiao will not think nonsense.
Yun Xiao thought to herself. She felt that what Rong Ruo said was reasonable. She stood on the city tower, useless at all. She chuckled awkwardly and said, “You’ve been busy for most of the night. It will be dawn soon. Why don’t you come down with me and have some hot soup to warm up your body first?”
Now, it was already November, and the November night was extremely cold.
It was also because Yun Xiao had the maidservant and maidservant constantly provide some food for the soldiers. After the soldiers ate, their bodies were warm, so not many of them were sick from the cold. Even if they stayed up late, everyone was still in high spirits.
Rong Ruo thought for a moment, then nodded and said softly, “Alright, then I will go down with mother.”
The two slowly walked down the tower. Seeing that some simple canopies had been built and some injured soldiers had been resettled, they heaved a sigh of relief. Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo slowly brought all the injured soldiers and the five thousand soldiers who were currently resting back.
Because Yun Xiao saw that the soldiers had been fighting for an entire night, everyone’s spirits were not good, so she suggested that these people should come to rest in batches and change their rest. Only when they had the spirit would they be more energetic to kill their enemies.
After a soldier came forward to salute Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo, he went to call those soldiers. Because these soldiers were afraid that something unexpected would happen, they had always slept with their clothes. Therefore, the moment the soldier called them, they immediately picked up the weapons in their hands and went up to the city tower to change shifts.
The soldiers all trained in an orderly manner and did not delay at all. Seeing this, Rong Ruo and Yun Xiao nodded in admiration.
After looking through all the simple canopies, Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo went back. Jiang’er and Liu’er immediately brought a bowl of steaming soup to Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo to warm their bodies.
Rong Ruo and Yun Xiao weren’t picky either. They directly picked it up and drank it, which made the surrounding soldiers feel warm in their hearts. The Emperor and Princess Yan both suffered the same hardships as them. They were very touched!
Hearing the sounds of fighting in the distance, Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo did not dare to sleep. This was a critical moment, and no one dared to be careless at all.
A handsome man ran down from the side and cupped his hands in the direction of Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo before continuing to bandage the wounded. Jiang Li’s medical skills were only inferior to Rong Jin’s. In this battle, his medical skills had played a great role. No one knew how many people he had saved!
Although Rong Ruo saw that Yun Xiao’s body was still standing, her posture was like a gust of wind that would cause her to collapse. She said worriedly, “Mother, why don’t you let Jiang Li show you?” Although Rong Ruo had always found Jiang Li unpleasing because Jiang Li was constantly chasing after him to bring him back, she had no choice but to accept that Jiang Li’s medical skills were indeed good.
Coupled with the fact that Rong Ruo had been the Yue Emperor for so many days and knew of Jiang Li’s difficulties, he still admired Jiang Li in his heart.
Yun Xiao shook her head and whispered, “I’m fine. I want to wait for the army to win this battle before returning to rest. I know my body. I just need to rest for a while.” She mainly set up those four formations before, and her body was somewhat overwhelmed.
Although he had rested for more than an hour, this time was still far from enough!
