Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 1120

Chapter 1120: Chapter 1114: Witness

But whether it was the bows and arrows or the crossbows in the hands of the Huoyun Army... given their low position, they were absolutely unable to fully realize their potential, and even when used, their effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The Huoyun Army was indeed brave, fearlessly sacrificing themselves as they continually charged the city wall, with bodies piling up at the entrance to the stairs leading up to the wall. They used their own bodies to shield their comrades from the rain of arrows, even if it meant taking one more step forward, even if just one of them could reach the Zhou Huying Camp, even if... they could only manage to kill one Zhou soldier.

But how could the soldiers of the Huying Army allow these impostors to advance any further? Their Zhou Emperor... their majesty was right there on the wall!

Though Bai Qingyan was now pregnant and unable to fight on the front lines as she used to, their Emperor was right there with them on the frontline of this battlefield! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

If they were to fall, the danger would then reach their Zhou Emperor.

"The Huoyun Army soldiers’ bravery... is indeed commendable!" Shen Liangyu felt admiration for these Huoyun Army soldiers who continued to fight despite being trapped, and no longer held the anger he once harbored because they were imitating the Huying Camp, rather his fighting spirit was ignited, "His Majesty wants the Huying Army to engage them head-on!"

"Our soldiers are precious! We already hold the advantage, a decisive victory is at hand, there’s no need to sacrifice our soldiers’ lives! However... I will do my utmost to preserve the lives of these Huoyun Army soldiers that you respect!"

Bai Qingyan drew out her arrow, aiming at the shields that connected seamlessly like a turtle’s shell. As long as she found a gap and shot Yun Lingzhi, this slaughter would end!

Unity across the world; the Xiliang Army was as much the Zhou Army, and Bai Qingyan did not wish for excessive losses.

Therefore, Bai Qingyan did not allow the Huying Camp to use fire. If they had used oil, the battle would have ended quickly, but then the people within Pingyang City and their houses might also suffer misfortune.

Just a slight gap is enough for her to see...

The wind sounded fiercely in Bai Qingyan’s ears as she watched keenly at the shields that connected with almost no gap, waiting for her opportunity.

The chaotic battle at the east gate of Pingyang City continued, while the Governor’s mansion was already flowing with rivers of blood. The Huying Army cleaned up the corpses of the Huoyun Army, and someone asked the squad leader if they should proceed to support the east gate where the sounds of battle were deafening.

"We follow orders, conclude this battle and await orders here!" said the Huying Camp squad leader.

Soon, under the ferocious assault of arrow rain, the shield-bearers holding the topmost shields were clearly exhausted, with blood making the ground slippery beneath them. Every step was a sliding step; the man was gritting his teeth, trying hard to hold on, but had already begun to stagger, exposing weaknesses and gaps several times over.

Bai Qingyan gently exhaled a white mist, gazing at the direction the mist was dispersed by the wind, subtly noticing the sway in the shields, steadying her aim, releasing her arrow, then another arrow drawn to the bow...

As a warrior, a natural sense for danger heightened more than ordinary soldiers, Yun Lingzhi suddenly turned around, grasping the arm of the Huoyun Army soldier who couldn’t hold steady, just closed the gap when an arrow pierced through it, another arrow followed shooting straight into Yun Lingzhi’s right eye, yet another penetrating arrow shot into the tail of the arrow embedded in Lingzhi’s right eye, piercing through Yun Lingzhi’s right eye, straight into the leg bone of a shield bearer clad in rain of arrows, accompanied by a chilling bloody eyeball.

The once whole turtle-shell shield formation was immediately thrown into disarray...

On the battlefield, exposing a flaw is certain death!

With arrows raining down, the shield soldiers of the Huoyun Army almost shielded Yun Poxing’s grandson, Yun Tianao, using their own bodies to protect Yun Lingzhi... but no one realized at this moment that Yun Lingzhi had already fallen lifeless into the pool of blood.
