Female-to-male: I live on farming

Sure enough, a soldier stumbled over and reported in horror: "General, it's bad! The Qin barbarians attacked our food supplies."

Qin Zheng was shocked.

As expected, they hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. The main purpose of their trip was to burn their food and grass. Without food and grass, in the freezing cold weather, the army could not survive.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the front. Qin Zheng looked at the dark crowd in front of the pass, which seemed to have no end in sight. His heart became heavier and heavier.

The Zhenbei Army now has less than 80,000 remaining soldiers. How can they withstand the fierce attack of the Qin Army?

The messenger next to him had his heart beating like a drum. It seemed that tonight was a matter of life and death for their Zhenbei Army.

Qin Zheng reacted and ordered the entire army to focus on defense and hold the camp to the death.

In the chaos and fire, the Zhenbei Army fought and retreated, while the Qin Army pursued them like a venomous snake. Every time they retreated, the Qin Army advanced, until they were blocked in front of the military camp.

Screams continued to be heard in his ears, and each scream was like a sharp knife stabbing into Qin Zheng's heart. He looked back and saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers standing on both sides. His heart was filled with endless despair.

They had nowhere to retreat, but their soldiers were dwindling in number. It wouldn't be long before the Qin army would step over their corpses and occupy the entire northern border of Jiaozhou.

The atmosphere of despair enveloped their hearts, and they all deeply realized that tonight was their end, and dying on the battlefield was their only fate. In this case, they would kill as many people as they could before they died.

Killing one is not a wasted death, and killing two is a profit.

For a time, in the desperate situation, the Zhenbei Army, which was at the end of its rope, instead stimulated a strong fighting force.

Suddenly, there was another noise in the distance, and dense sparks of fire appeared, and deafening shouts of killing swept over like an overwhelming force.

"General, it looks like reinforcements!" A soldier with good eyesight pointed at the dense torches in the distance and shouted.

The expression on his face seemed to be both crying and laughing.

"This... how is it possible?" Qin Zheng looked over in disbelief, but his hands did not stop moving, and he chopped off the enemy's head again.

Until the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, everyone saw the galloping army, and some people even saw the woman riding a white horse in the front.

"General, the one rushing in front is a female general, that is..."

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess. It must be Her Royal Highness the Princess! The Princess is here to save us!"

The soldiers under his command suddenly became excited.

Qin Zheng finally stopped and looked ahead.

In the midst of a huge fire, tens of thousands of cavalrymen appeared, like divine soldiers descending from heaven. There were so many of them that one could not see the end of them. Even the entire ground was shaking.

I saw a woman wearing silver armor, holding a spear, her long black hair tied into a ponytail fluttering in the wind. She had a stunning face, but a resolute expression, and she was leading the way.

Behind her, tens of thousands of elite cavalry swept in like a tidal wave, their horses’ hooves thundering and shaking the ground.

"Brothers, kill! Charge out! Kill these Qin people without leaving a single piece of armor!" Seeing this scene, the soldiers' morale was instantly boosted, and the despair that had shrouded their hearts was swept away.

At this moment, they didn't want to care whether the princess was charged with treason by the court, or whether the army she led was a rebel.

They only knew that when they were about to die on the battlefield, it was the eldest princess who led her troops to help fight against the Qin army.

With this thought in mind, he continued to wave his weapons, issuing deafening shouts of killing, and fought with the army brought by the princess from the front and back to attack the Qin army.

The Qin army thought they had a sure win in the surprise attack tonight, but no one expected that such a large army would come to support them in the middle of the night.

We had to abandon tonight's action and retreat.

"Retreat!" someone in the Qin army shouted.

Woo—Woo—Woo—and then the horn of retreat was blown.

But when they wanted to turn around and retreat, they happened to run into the Black Armor Army rushing in from the mountains. It was not so easy to retreat.

If you want to leave, you have to tear off a layer of skin.

Facing the Black Armor Army head on, and guarding against the pursuit of the Zhenbei Army from behind, they were unable to take care of themselves for a while. The Qin Army, which had originally come with great momentum, retreated like a dog that had lost its home.

The Qin army did not know where the army that came tonight came from, did not know its background, and could not find out its depth, so avoiding battle was the best strategy.

After a while, it receded like the tide, leaving corpses all over the road.

"Don't chase!" Jinyang raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to stop chasing. They had just arrived in the northern border, so it was better not to act rashly for the time being.

She had just led the charge, and her armor was stained with the blood of countless people.

The two armies officially met, and the Zhenbei Army cheered loudly.

"I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Qin Zheng stood there, looking around. The devastation was everywhere, and there were countless corpses of the Zhenbei Army. He exhaled deeply. Then he walked to Jinyang and saluted.

Xiao Anyi was standing behind Jinyang. Seeing this, he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with his right hand and stared at his movements, fearing that he would suddenly attack.

Jin Yang, however, looked calm, as if he was not worried at all. He raised his hand to signal him to stand up, "General Qin, don't be so polite."

Although she didn't know much about Qin Zheng, she knew he had the integrity of a soldier because he didn't flee in such a desperate situation and swore to defend the northern defense line to the death.

Now that he was willing to pay his respects to her, it meant that he understood the situation.

"General Qin, I have brought some food and medicine. Let the soldiers rest and treat their wounds first." Jinyang sighed as he looked at the surviving Zhenbei Army.

After this battle, the Zhenbei Army was severely damaged, their faces were tired, and their bodies were covered with wounds.

Qin Zheng could only obey orders now. When he was receiving the food and supplies, he suddenly found that the person in charge of escorting the food and supplies was actually Lord Xiao.

This Lord Xiao was once the commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army. As soon as he appeared, the old generals in the Zhenbei Army burst into tears.

Qin Zheng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the eldest princess's intention was obvious.

But even if he guessed her purpose, what could he do? The Zhenbei Army was wounded and if the princess hadn't sent troops to help in time, I'm afraid they would have been buried here today.

When they were in the most dangerous time, the imperial court transferred the Changnan Army away, and the Xuanjia Army, which they called rebels, saved them.

Even if he disagreed, I'm afraid the soldiers in the army would no longer listen to him.

Their resentment towards the court has not come overnight, but has accumulated over the years. After this incident, how much loyalty do they have left to the court?

Qin Zheng's mind was wandering as he silently watched the Black Armor Army help the Zhenbei Army clean up the battlefield, bringing them thick cotton clothes and new armor and weapons; helping the wounded to treat their wounds and rebuild the camp...
