The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1791

Chapter 1791: 877 Xuanping Marquis Has Arrived! (Chapter 1)

Shenshi, the fierce wind blew.

The Xuanping Marquis and fifty thousand imperial troops launched a strong attack on the north city gate.

Six Liang Country war chariots, shielded by shields, charged through the arrow rain and stone strikes from the city tower, ramming into the tightly closed city gate one after another.

This city gate had been violently struck a month ago, just repaired a few days prior, and now it was hit again.

Behind the city gate, the Jin soldiers held their spears firmly in readiness.

"How did they ram through so quickly? Did we make a mistake somewhere?" a Jin soldier asked.

When they attacked Pu City before, from the moment the attack horn sounded to the actual ram into the city gate, it took at least two-quarters of an hour. They deployed six war chariots, four of which were smashed by the giant stones atop the city tower.

No one else could respond to him.

Below, the general organizing defense and attack advised, "Everyone, don’t panic. The Yan Army’s forces aren’t as numerous as ours, and they just fought a battle with Liang’s troops before marching here overnight. They’re exhausted, relying only on some stolen military equipment from the Liang Army to show off, but they are only arrows at the end of their flight! Even if they do break through, they’re not our match!"

These words successfully inspired the soldiers.

The Jin soldiers atop the city tower were once again boosted with morale!

Outside the city walls, ladders broke through the arrow rain blockade, reaching under the walls.

Liang Country’s ladders worked extremely well. Shields were positioned above, and people stood on a wooden plank that could be elevated. With a swoosh, they were lifted up, and a skylight in the shield would automatically open.

A Jin soldier just picked up a stone when a figure leaped from the skylight, stabbing through his throat with a spear!

With one person climbing up the city tower, naturally, there was a second.

Jin soldiers understood the ladder’s pattern; as soon as the skylight opened, they lifted long swords or spears and stabbed downward fiercely!

People continuously climbed the city tower, and people continuously fell onto the city tower.

War is never an absolute home ground for either side; it is built on countless remains. Whether in victory or defeat, there are always casualties.

Another ladder’s skylight opened, and the Jin soldiers shouted, stabbing toward the ladder’s window. But at this moment, a Yan Army soldier came from the side, knocked away his weapon with a sword, and kicked him off the city tower!

A steady stream of Yan Army soldiers climbed the city tower, and the situation on the tower began to spiral out of control.

They were fatigued, but they were not arrows at the end of their flight.

This was Dayan’s country, where no one could invade!

Seeing things going awry on the city tower, the general ordered, "Strong crossbows!"

Strong crossbows were crossbow carts that shot farther and were more lethal than bows and arrows, capable of destroying any war chariot!

Tang Yueshan drew his longbow, put down each operator of the strong crossbows with a single arrow!

Such a distant range, such a peculiar angle, the Jin soldiers had no idea how the man hit the targets!

"It’s that man! Shoot him for me!"

Unfortunately, there was no chance.

Amidst a booming sound, the final city gate was breached.

Tang Yueshan decisively stowed the Tang Family bow, drew the sword at his waist, and shouted three times with the few Yan Country words he could speak, "Grandsons! Grandpa is here! Brothers! Charge with me!"

Everyone raised their weapons, shouting as they rushed into the city with him.

He led the charge at the front, but soon, someone caught up with him.

More precisely, it was two people.

One riding on a horse, one flying in the air with lightness skill.

"Oh? Old Xiao? You’re personally entering the fray?"

That’s not like you.

Aren’t you usually sitting back, enjoying the show?

Xuanping Marquis had back injuries, rarely entering battle, typically directing the battlefield from a chariot.

Xuanping Marquis glanced at him, "Leave it to you, old Tang."

"Hmm?" Tang Yueshan froze, not comprehending the meaning behind his words.

The next moment, he saw Chang Jing rushing into Jin troops, opening a bloody path for Xuanping Marquis.

Xuanping Marquis charged through on horseback, leaving Tang Yueshan with a carefree and uninhibited silhouette.

Tang Yueshan was bewildered.

Old Xiao, I suspect you’re trying to desert, but I have no evidence.

...

Xuanping Marquis exuded an aura of Buddhists blocking Buddhists and gods blocking gods, which no Jin soldier dared obstruct him.

However, traveling from here to Ghost Mountain was too far.

...

In the passage of Ghost Mountain, Shangguan Yun couldn’t open the stone door blocked by Shangguan Qing, so she continued forward along the path, eventually meeting Mu Qingchen and others at Back Mountain.

"Your Highness!" Mu Qingchen stepped forward to support her, glanced behind her, and his eyes dimmed, "Changsun, he..."

Shangguan Yun, anxious to the point of losing the princess’s composure, her voice was choked with a bit of sobbing, "Gongsun Yu wants to burn the mountain, and Qingqing went to stop him."

Mu Qingchen opened his mouth slightly, completely unprepared for such a situation.

Speaking of which, wasn’t the royal Changsun going to Cangxue Pass? How is he appearing in Pu City?

Moreover, he sensed that this Changsun felt somewhat different from the one he’d seen in Shengdu before.

Also, what was the commotion just now?
