Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 890 - Battle!

Chapter 890 -890 Battle!

Liu Sisi truly lacked the self-awareness of being a woman!

Life itself was at stake, so what did gender matter at this point?

Human potential is infinite and often forced out when pushed to the limit.

Besides, although she appeared frail, she had always been a strong woman, especially at such a critical juncture for her life.

She raised her long spear high and stabbed fiercely, feeling that unique sensation of the silver spear piercing through the enemy’s chest. Without resting, Liu Sisi stepped directly onto the body and exerted force to pull out her spear, quickly catching up with the pace of the few ahead.

Her hands trembled slightly from exhaustion, but her expression was nonchalant, her eyes shining brightly and resplendently.

She secretly sighed in relief that there were not many enemies left that required a finishing blow.

Unbeknownst to her, the astonishment of those closely following her had already become overwhelming.

This group of people was trained by Di Yelei himself, having crawled out from the same trenches and experienced life and death together. Naturally, everyone had heard about Liu Sisi’s origins and identity.

Initially, they had assumed that once on the battlefield, if she did not faint from fear, they would probably have to assign two people to support her as she walked.

Unexpectedly, not only did she stride with vigor, but she also did not hesitate to “pick up the slack” behind, to everyone’s amazement!

The last shred of concern in their hearts also flew away!

Zhang Peng felt even more deeply moved!

He had witnessed how Liu Sisi married into the Di Family and how she had come to where she was today. He had always thought she was delicate and frail, never imagining she would have such a side!

–

While everyone was reflecting, rings of enemy troops surrounded them from all sides.

The strong crossbow could launch ten iron crossbow arrows at once, but alas, it was a weak point in close combat and couldn’t make much of an impact.

“Quick! Throw the thunder!”

Liu Sisi shouted loudly.

The trusted soldiers following her naturally did not dare to hesitate and threw the thunder into the midst of the dense crowd opposite them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several loud explosions burst forth, the power of the thunder not to be taken lightly at all, as severed limbs and flesh splattered everywhere.

The enemy that had been rushing forth was suddenly terrified and hesitated to charge forward.

Meanwhile, explosions also sounded elsewhere, clearly Qi Yuanzheng, leading another group, had also encountered the opportunity to throw the thunder.

Zhang Peng, protecting Liu Sisi, rushed swiftly toward the direction of the city gate and soon arrived near the blazing tents.

People had been trying to put out the fire in these tents for some time, but originally, the strong crossbow had launched ten Fire Arrows at once, entirely igniting the tents. Because there weren’t enough people to fight the fire, the scene was indescribable chaos.

–

Inside Yingchang City.

The Deputy General had already mustered five hundred horsemen, all elite and valiant soldiers, each worth two ordinary men.

Waiting until the war drum and thunder reverberated, the Deputy General vaulted onto his horse, spearheaded the charge through the slowly opening city gate, and slaughtered his way out. Everyone followed swiftly and quickly engaged with enemy soldiers in combat.

Dong Xian stood atop the city wall, using the great blaze from the burning tents outside the city to clearly see the chaos among the enemy ranks.

His heart surged with excitement!

These reinforcements, though few in number, had quickly thrown the enemy camp into disarray. The capability of this group of soldiers was not to be underestimated.

It seemed he would have to take the opportunity to meet the leader of these forces and learn a thing or two.

At the moment, he could never have imagined that the one who came up with these strategies was but a woman.

–

When General Gu in the enemy camp received the message, the fire had already spread, and dozens of camp tents were engulfed in a sea of flames.

“Report! —— General, enemies are attacking from outside; please give your orders!”

“What orders to give? Go forth and meet the enemy immediately!”

Annoyed, General Gu threw down an order arrow. These good-for-nothings knew only how to eat, yet when it came to real trouble, they were utterly useless.

“Yes, General.” The Messenger Soldier quickly exited the main tent.

But before he could take a step out, another Messenger Soldier entered.

“Report! —— General, two units of horsemen are charging down from the opposite slope; by estimation, their numbers aren’t large. Please give your orders.”

“Send the vanguard officer to meet the enemies at once.” An order arrow fell at the feet of the Messenger Soldier.

“Yes, General.”

The Messenger Soldier hadn’t even managed to rise before another Messenger Soldier walked into the main tent.

“Report! —— May I inform the General that the city gate has opened, and several hundred soldiers from the city are engaged in battle with our horsemen.”

“Order the left wing horsemen to charge at once and be sure to cut down all these men under their horses’ hooves!”

“Yes, General!”

“General, our grain and grass supplies are on fire, and Lord Zuo requests for assistance.”

“Quickly dispatch two thousand horsemen to the scene; we must protect the supplies at all costs!”

In such cold winter, if the supplies were truly gone, there would be no need to fight; the horsemen he led would starve to death here.

“May I inform the General, a total of thirty-six tents have caught fire, and the flames are too fierce for our troops to salvage…”

General Gu felt a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, nearly passing out on his back.

He was immediately furious! He roared loudly, “Wasn’t it said that the number of attackers was small? What on earth is happening now?”

…

Liu Sisi, of course, knew nothing of these events.

At the moment, she was threading through the enemy lines with Zhang Peng. It seemed as if the enemy soldiers were endless, swarming in wave after wave, even if she threw out thunder grenades that only deterred them for a moment before they rushed at them again, causing everyone’s mood to darken further.

Fortunately, the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the city gates greatly boosted everyone’s spirits!

“Princess! Someone from the city has come to our aid. Quick! As long as we break through to the city gate, we will be saved!”

Excitement covered Zhang Peng’s face, and he swung his big blade even faster. Everyone’s morale was uplifted, and they began to close in towards the center.

Originally, all of the trusted soldiers were provided with warhorses, but they had to abandon them before passing through the small grove. There was no way those warhorses could make it through the dense foliage.

How could people on two legs outrun beasts on four?

Besides, with the flaming tents on one side, even if they wanted to run, they were being trapped in the middle by the pounding hooves.

Liu Sisi felt an inexplicable sense of urgency.

This was something she had not anticipated beforehand!

The enemy clearly also noticed this point, and gradually fewer and fewer infantrymen surrounded them, while more and more cavalry appeared. Countless horsemen waving long whips rounded everyone up like sheep, essentially enclosing them entirely.

The space for everyone to maneuver grew increasingly smaller, and their previous initiative had gradually turned passive.

Indeed, events on the battlefield change rapidly; one moment it seemed as though they held the advantage securely, but the next, everyone was plunged into a desperate situation.
