After a long time, the ghost slowly withdrew his gaze. His eyes were deep and mysterious, as if hiding endless thoughts.

Then, he turned and walked towards the meeting tent with his deputy general. The heavy footsteps echoed in the empty camp, foreshadowing that an intense discussion was about to begin.

On the other side, the general leading the vanguard of more than 200 people was none other than Guimei’s most trusted young general—Leng Zimo.

This man has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks heroic. His brows reveal an innate intelligence.

He is an upright person, and he treats military affairs rigorously and seriously, never doing anything carelessly.

However, he couldn't help feeling a little repulsive about Ouyang Miaoling joining the army this time.

Leng Zimo had heard that the princess knew some martial arts, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

In his opinion, marching and fighting were not something that could be accomplished with just a little martial arts skills.

What's more, the battlefield is full of swords and sabers, and it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die.

Now that the delicate princess insisted on following the army, he could hardly imagine how to ensure her safety.

Thinking of this, Leng Zimo couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He felt that Ouyang Miaoling was purely willful and her coming here would definitely cause a lot of trouble for himself and the entire army.

So, Leng Zimo squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and sped up to catch up with Ouyang Miaoling and others in front.

When he was parallel to them, he pulled the reins, turned his head to look at Ouyang Miaoling, and said with difficulty: "Princess, fighting is not as simple as you think. Just having some boxing skills is far from enough to kill the enemy on the battlefield. As the saying goes, 'swords have no eyes'. Once the war starts, the situation changes rapidly. No one can guarantee that they can protect you without any mistakes. If unfortunately you get hurt, I will be blamed and cannot bear it! So, please think twice before you act, don't act on impulse, and return to the rear as soon as possible."

After saying this, he looked at Ouyang Miaoling sincerely, hoping that she would listen to his advice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Miaoling already knew the purpose of his words.

She directly retorted: "Young General, you are worrying too much. Since this princess dares to stop the porcelain work, she has the diamond drill. When the time comes, just follow your deployment to attack the city. This princess does not need your protection. Don't worry, if something happens to this princess, it can't be blamed on you."

After saying that, she swung the whip in her hand onto the horse's buttocks and quickened her pace, leaving Leng Zimo alone, standing there in a daze.

He didn't expect that he was just trying to persuade them with kind words, but their princess turned out to be so stubborn that he was completely frustrated.

However, he did not have time to think too much. Since he could not persuade the princess, he would just take it one step at a time.

The battlefield changes rapidly, and the princess might give up at that time.

He also knew that it was useless to think too much now, and he could only try his best to ensure the princess' safety under limited conditions.

Thinking of this, he no longer felt depressed and spurred his horse to chase after the team.

After a long and tense march of two quarters of an hour, they finally arrived at the foot of the towering city wall of Yanyuepo.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city spotted their figures with sharp eyes, and immediately shouted in fear: "There is a sneak attack! The enemy is attacking!" The shouts instantly spread throughout the city, breaking the original tranquility.

The soldiers were well-trained, and upon hearing the alarm, they immediately took action, quickly organized their ranks, and entered a state of high alert. They were all holding weapons, ready for battle.

Leng Zimo, standing at the foot of the city wall, had a stern look on his face. He commanded the army in an orderly manner to form up according to the battle deployment that he had carefully discussed with the generals in advance.

The soldiers moved skillfully and coordinated well, and completed the deployment of troops as quickly as they had done countless drills in their daily lives.

After everything was ready, Leng Zimo raised his arm and shouted: "Start the siege..." With his order, the soldiers rushed to the foot of the city wall like a surging tide.

Carrying the sturdy ladder, they bravely moved forward, ready to force their way onto the city wall and capture the city.

At the same time, the enemy troops on the city wall were not willing to be outdone, and the commander decisively issued the order to "meet the enemy."

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired from the city walls, and the dense arrows shot towards the city like a torrential rain of swords.

The arrows flashed with cold light and came whistling with a sharp wind. For a moment, the sky was covered by dense arrow shadows.

The enemy's resistance was extremely fierce. Leng Zimo failed in several attempts to attack the city, and the number of casualties among the soldiers continued to increase.

Just when Leng Zimo was getting frustrated because he couldn't take down the city wall, Ouyang Miaoling volunteered and said, "Young General, can you let me have a try?"

As he finished speaking, several people objected in unison: "No..."

Zhang Yun, Li Jing, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yue behind her all objected because they were worried about her safety.

Leng Zimo also voiced his opposition at the first opportunity.

"Young general, if we continue like this, the casualties will become more and more serious. Please listen to me this time. This kind of brute force is not a solution." Ouyang Miaoling was still trying her best to persuade him.

At this time, Zhang Yun looked at General Leng with a serious expression, and said solemnly: "General Leng, why don't you let Li Jing and I go and give it a try!" After that, his eyes were firm and courageous.

Upon hearing this, Leng Zimo turned his head slightly, looked at the two of them with a sharp gaze, and then said in a deep voice: "This trip is extremely dangerous, you must be extra careful! Don't act rashly!" His words revealed his concern for the safety of the two.

After getting the commander's approval, Zhang Yun and Li Jing looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and then turned to face Ouyang Miaoling, clasped their hands and performed a standard military salute.

Then, the two of them jumped without hesitation and flew towards the top of the city wall like an arrow.

Looking at their determined figures heading towards the siege, Xiaoyue and the other woman couldn't help but become worried, as if their hearts were instantly in their throats.

The two of them looked extremely nervous, unconsciously clutching the corners of their clothes tightly, staring at Zhang Yun and Li Jing who were struggling to climb up the city wall. They looked so focused, as if they wished they could fly to them immediately and lend a helping hand.

At the same time, Leng Zimo and Ouyang Miaoling also fixed their eyes firmly on these two people, silently praying for them in their hearts and secretly cheering them on.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Yun and Li Jing were getting closer and closer to the top of the city. Victory was in sight, but unfortunately, something unfortunate happened after all - their actions were eventually noticed by the highly vigilant enemy.

As soon as the enemy general gave an order, thousands of arrows were fired in an instant, and countless sharp arrows shot towards Zhang Yun and Li Jing like a swarm of locusts.

Faced with this sudden attack, the two did not panic. Relying on their agility and extraordinary reaction speed, they dodged left and right, easily avoiding wave after wave of arrows.
