Zhou Jia recalled Ouyang Xiong’s fanatical gaze when he mentioned the Sky Shaking Thunder. He looked at Li Yu worriedly and instructed, “Yu’er, if the war is tense, if you want to help, don’t let anyone find out that those bombs came from you. I think your worry is right. What if they think that you still have more powerful weapons that you haven’t used and want to harm you? They’ll use Yang’er, Ah Qing, and the others to threaten you. What should we do then?”

Li Yu knew that Zhou Jia was telling the truth. The most terrifying thing was not ghosts but the human heart. You would never know what a person would become.

“I understand. Ruyi and Ji Xiang have used a lot of it. There’s not much left in the cellar. I won’t be discovered if I go quietly tonight. If the war isn’t urgent, I won’t take it out to use. I’ll take it to the ditch after it’s over.”

Ji Xiang, who was sitting on the carriage rafters, suddenly stood up. ‘Master, Madam, there’s an alarm bell on the west wall. There’s an enemy attack on the west wall.”

“Turn the carriage around and go to the west city gate.” Zhou Jia and Li Yu walked to the door of the carriage. The dense alarm bells seemed to have hit their hearts. “Yang Huaiyi is indeed desperate and scattered his forces to attack the west city gate. Oh no, there shouldn’t be many garrison troops in the west city.”

“Go back.” Li Yu decisively jumped out of the carriage. “Ji Xiang, send Master back to the government office. I’ll go to the city wall to take a look.”

“I’ll go with you.” Zhou Jia also jumped out of the carriage with Li Yu. Li Yu stopped and looked at him. “Zhou Jia, you’re the magistrate. Why don’t you go back and send soldiers to help instead of following me to the city wall?” Before Li Yu could finish speaking, she had already run far away.

“Hurry back to the government office.” Zhou Jia could only jump back into the carriage.

Li Yu ran to the city gate and took out the strong bow and crossbow arrow from a secluded corner. She jumped onto the city wall in a few strides and saw that there was already a large army under the city gate. It turned out that Yang Huaiyi had feinted to the west city gate.

Li Yu saw rows of archers standing in the middle of the shields on the city wall. They drew their bows and nocked arrows. The arrows fell into the Qi army’s camp at the front like a rain. A large number of Qi soldiers fell to the ground.

The crossbowmen of the Qi army quickly arrived and fired at the city wall under the cover of the infantry shields. The soldiers on the city wall who could not dodge in time were shot and fell to the ground. The injured soldiers were still gritting their teeth and fighting back with arrows.

The Qi army below the city wall rushed towards the city wall one after another. Densely packed Qi soldiers carried ladders and carried crossbow beds towards the city wall.

A large red flag with the word “Yang” on it was inserted into the chariot and fluttered in the wind. On the chariot stood a tall and powerful man. He was wearing black armor and a head armor of the same color with a dark red hat. He stood majestically on the chariot with a long saber in his hand and commanded the Qi army. Beside the chariot was a maroon horse that was obviously not ordinary. The Qi army below the city were boisterous under the thundering war drums.

Immediately after, a group of Qi soldiers pushing a huge piece of wood walked out of the military formation and struggled towards the city gate. Li Yu knew that this was used to hit the city gate.

Li Yu stood at the chopping point and looked at the general on the war chariot.

She thought to herself that this extraordinary general was probably Yang Huaiyi. If it was really him, it seemed that the Qi army was determined to fight to the death since Yang Huaiyi was participating personally.

Li Yu looked at him and narrowed her eyes. She decided that whether he was Yang Huaiyi or not, she would use him to deter the Qi soldiers.

Li Yu looked at the flag fluttering on the chariot and the general’s dark red hat. She tested the direction and speed of the wind and quickly moved to find the best shooting position. She slowly exhaled and drew her bow. She aimed the arrow at his face. The dark arrow tore through the air with a whoosh. Li Yu saw the dark red hat tip back and fall into the chariot.

Li Yu threw away the bow and picked up the crossbow. Her movements were smooth. She aimed the crossbow at the Qi soldier who was pushing the cart towards the city gate and pulled the trigger. After a few clicks, the cart stopped.

At this moment, the flag soldier on the city wall waved his flag and pointed at the war chariot. He shouted, “Yang Huaiyi has been killed. Yang Huaiyi has been killed. ”

In a breath, the soldiers on the city wall looked at the empty war chariot and shouted in unison, “Yang Huaiyi has been killed. Yang Huaiyi has been killed…’

The Qi army, who had rushed to the foot of the city wall, turned around and saw that the tall war chariot was empty. The bay horses beside the war chariot knelt on the ground and wailed into the sky. The morale of the Qi army was instantly smashed into the dust.

Ouyang Xiong, who had led his troops to the west city wall, raised his arms and shouted, “Fight, kill, kill, fight, kill the enemy…” The morale of the Great Yong soldiers was like a rainbow. An inspiring and dense drumbeat sounded from the city wall. More than ten thousand arrows were fired at the same time from the city wall. The infantry picked up the stone and smashed it at the Qi army. The Qi army covered their heads and fled. Groups of cavalry galloped out from the city gate.

The shouts of the Great Yong soldiers shook the sky. The Qi army was defeated swiftly. The soldiers and generals fled in all directions. When it was dark, a huge battle ended and Great Yong won.

After searching everywhere, they found nothing. Someone said that Crown Prince Qi and Yang Huaiyi did not see eye to eye and had long fled with his followers.

Ouyang Xiong sent troops to Linshan County to recover the lost land.

Yunzhou City was filled with cheers. Someone had set off firecrackers. The cheering people snapped up the firecracker workshop. The closed doors opened to congratulate each other. The sound of happy firecrackers was everywhere.

Chu Sihai arrived at Zhou Jia’s room under the sound of firecrackers. He looked at Zhou Jia and laughed loudly. “Congratulations, Lord Zhou. Yunzhou has achieved a great victory. Your wife is indeed worthy of being the Madam Protector conferred by His Majesty. She has the courage to easily eliminate a fierce battle. I think we should celebrate. Lord Zhou, what do you think?” “Congratulations, congratulations.” Zhou Jia had a proud smile on his face as he returned the greeting humbly. “You flatter me, Head Shopkeeper. I’m not as divine as you say. There are still a lot of matters outside the city that need you and me. The damaged city walls and houses need to be repaired and rebuilt.

There’s still time to celebrate.”

Chu Sihai thought about it and felt that it made sense. He suddenly thought of something and added a trace of bitterness to his joy of victory. He sighed and said, “That’s true. When I go back, I have to send someone to Mount Spindle to take a look. Why haven’t the secret guards we sent returned to report? Did General Shen and his nephew meet with misfortune?”

Zhou Jia also sighed and said, “That’s right! Madam Shen is still waiting for news of General Shen! I heard that she also sent her family guards to find news of General Shen. I think she should be back in a few days!”

Chu Sihai could not stay any longer and hurriedly bade farewell to Zhou Jia. “I’ll go back and send someone to check first. See you, Lord Zhou!”

Zhou Jia watched as Chu Sihai left in a hurry and shook his head with a smile. He went out and called the scribe to go to the city wall.

Ruyi and Ji Xiang went to the Wang family when the entire city was celebrating their victory. They saw the two guards of the Wang family playing boxing and drinking in the house after releasing firecrackers. The two of them sneaked into the courtyard and found the Wang family’s cellar in the woodshed in the outer courtyard. When they opened it, they saw that it was filled with food and chestnut rice. The two of them began to move the items..
