The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye had fallen asleep peacefully. Zuo Nian stretched out his arm from under her head and gently put her head down.

He stood up quietly, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the tent...

He had a clear division of labor and was meticulous in his work. He walked back and forth in the stone forest, watching his men establish defenses and arrange the best ambush locations.

For several months, the Tibetans sent small teams to attack from time to time, and then quickly retreated after succeeding.

After about 20 days, he led a large army to attack directly, fighting bravely with a morale of not retreating until the city gate was broken.

These battles, both large and small, were staged one after another, with Hua Ye, Zuo Nian and Mu Qi leading their troops in battle for no less than 20 times.

During the rest period after the war, Hua Ye practiced the secret skills he brought out from the secret room without stopping for a moment: the Differentiation of Reality and Illusion Skill and the Shadow Snake Sword Skill.

Hua Ye was reluctant to use the runes given to him by Master Xuzhi. Every time he was at the critical moment of life and death, he took it out but put it back into his pocket.

She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, held her breath and concentrated, and her internal strength broke through to a new level. There was blood at the corner of her mouth, and her body was covered with knife and sword wounds of varying depths.

Her soft sword is like a water snake, winding and changing its shape in a thousand ways, bending, straightening, twisting, and entwining...

This time the three of them fell into the encirclement again. This battle was probably the last blow with all the military strength of the Tubo Kingdom.

Their gunpowder was the most powerful and abundant, and their military strength was unprecedentedly large. The cavalry and infantry that swarmed in one after another surrounded them.

"Surrender and I will spare your life, or else you will die without a burial place!"

The Tubo leader carried a big knife on his shoulder and threatened in broken Central Plains dialect.

The thick arms were exposed to the air, and the skin was a few shades darker than bronze.

"If you withdraw your troops, I, your grandfather, will spare your life!"

Mu Qi pointed his spear and stood firmly on his horse. He used all his strength to throw the Dragon-Savoring Spear, and the spear head shot straight at the Tibetan leader.

The dragon-devouring spear weighing over a hundred pounds flew over a distance of more than half a mile and was about to pierce the head of the Tubo leader, but was blocked by a wave of his sword.

The Dragon-Swallowing Spear fell into the sand and rolled down the slope into the dark encirclement.

In a rage, the tall and strong Tibetan leader rushed down the sand slope with a big knife in hand and a team of skilled generals.

"Fuck you, if you throw the gun away, how are you going to kill the enemy?"

Hua Ye looked at him with a look of disappointment and kicked him.

"Weapons are readily available, so why should we be afraid?"

Mu Qi dodged, leaned sideways, and elbowed the Tibetan soldier while laughing, then used his smooth Baguazhang to snatch an ordinary spear from him.

"Major General Mu, please stop laughing! Hua Qi, Hua Ba, Hua Er, Hua San... Follow me to break through!"

Zuo Nian held the Yueyue Knife in his hand, his blood-stained eyes showing determination and resoluteness. If he raised the knife, it would be stained with blood and he would either die or be injured.

The bloody battle stretched from the plain in front of the stone forest to the open space inside the stone forest. The army was defeated and scattered, and had already retreated to the Xingxiu city gate, protecting the wounded and the dead brothers.

Only Zuo Nianhua, Ye Muqi and three others were left, leading three thousand elite Weihua soldiers to defend the stone forest. However, the disparity in strength was too great, and some were killed and some were injured.

They hid behind the shadows of the stone pillars, while the Tibetan soldiers, who were conducting a carpet search, had already poured in with thousands of troops...

All the stone pillars and peaks in the stone forest were blown up, and their broken parts fell onto the sand.

The Tibetan leader rode his majestic horse with an arrogant look on his face and was surrounded by soldiers as he entered the depths of the stone forest.

Hua Ye poked his head out from the shadow of the stone pillar's remains, covered his heaving chest, and stared intently at the face of the Tibetan leader.

＜Has the entire army arrived?＞

Hua Ye whistled and asked the people who were watching outside the stone forest.

But before the whistle of response could be heard, it was cut off by a Tibetan soldier with a knife. The soldier, who was only breathing his last breath, blew the last note at the risk of his life.

＜All entered!＞

Hua Ye immediately took out a fire starter and lit the insect repellent rune in his hand, then stood up and raised it in the air.

The red figure was particularly conspicuous, and the Tibetan soldiers who discovered her surrounded her.

The poisonous snakes, insects and scorpions in the cracks of the rocks in the sand slowly emerged from the sand.

Quietly and densely, they climbed onto the Tibetan soldiers' shoes and boots...

Zuo Nian pulled Hua Ye down, held her shoulders tightly, supported her weak body, and jumped to another hiding place with his light Kung Fu.

"Have you distributed my usual incense pouches to your men?"

Hua Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, nervously pinched Zuo Nian's wrist and asked weakly and anxiously.

"It's done, don't worry! General Hua has led a large army to attack us, and he will definitely rescue us."

"No, send a signal to my father to come half an hour later. Quick, send someone..."

After Hua Ye said his last sentence, he fainted in Zuo Nian's arms from exhaustion.

Zuo Nian was completely confused and at a loss as to what to do. When he heard the shrill screams, he stuck his head out and finally understood.

"Muqi, hurry up and stop General Hua from entering the stone forest. Hurry, hurry..."
