The scout became more and more excited as he spoke, "I even vaguely saw Hu Hanxiao being knocked down as well."

"What? Say it again."

"Reporting to the general, I vaguely saw Hu Hanxiao was also knocked down."

...

Jiang Yan looked at the corpses strewn all over the ground below the hill, and once again lamented the cruelty of war.

She loves peace, but facing the invading northern barbarians, she has to pick up the rocket launcher.

"Boom!" The old general fired another round at the direction where the northern barbarians were most densely gathered. As the rounds landed and exploded, the shattered limbs and arms flew into the sky, then fell back down one after another.

Suddenly, the Northern Barbarian army was in chaos.

"Hahahaha~" The old general was in high spirits. It was the first time he knew how easy it was to fight a war. It was also the first time he stood on a hilltop, as if he were a god looking down on everyone, able to decide the life or death of the Northern Barbarian army.

"Haha~" The old general wanted to fire another shot, but then he remembered why his daughter-in-law on the opposite hill didn't fire another shot.

Just as the old general was hesitating whether to continue, he heard movement from the north gate.

The old general stopped immediately because he couldn't let the people in Black Rock City see what he had.

Jiang Yan also put away all the hot weapons early on at Ming Qi's reminder.

She was now lightly armed, with only a bow in her hand and a quiver on her back containing fifty feather arrows. She had no other offensive weapons.

She didn't shoot the arrow now, but just looked down at the northern barbarian soldiers below who were in a mess like headless flies.

Until she saw the soldiers of the Great Zhou appear in her sight, and then she saw Dong Shining leading a team of soldiers, laying thick wooden boards one by one at a fixed place.

"..." Only then did Jiang Yan realize that there was something special about the stones Dong Shining and his men had placed. After the planks were laid out, they quickly became a sturdy wooden bridge.

“…” Jiang Yan once again admired the wisdom of the ancients.

When General Ming saw that the wooden bridge was completed, he wanted to lead the charge. He had to see with his own eyes whether that damned Hu Hanxiao was dead.

That's right, someone was faster than him. Ye Zhanyang urged his horse and waved his spear, then rushed forward first.

Then came Ye Zhanpeng, Ye Zhanying, and all the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households Unit, who also crossed the wooden bridge one after another.

General Ye and Jiang Yan were both concentrating on staring at the Great Zhou soldiers below, fearing that they would be hit by the cold arrows of the northern barbarians.

At this moment, the Northern Barbarian Army was also gathered and assembled by the deputy general.

Seeing that some of the Great Zhou soldiers had crossed the wooden bridge, they rushed towards this side fiercely.

General Ye, watching the Northern Barbarian army coming in an encirclement formation, knew that this was not going to work and the soldiers of the Great Zhou would suffer a great loss.

Just as the old general picked up the rocket launcher again, he saw his daughter-in-law rushing down from the eastern hill.

As Jiang Yan rushed down, she shouted to the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households Office in front of her, "Get down!"

"Get down?" Zhang Xiaoqi repeated, and immediately shouted to all the soldiers of the Thirteenth Banner, "Everyone, get down quickly! Madam Jiang told us to get down."

Zhang Xiaoqi shouted, and all the soldiers of the Thirteenth Banner fell to the ground obediently, leaving the soldiers of the other small banners around him all bewildered.

However, in the Xishan Hundred Households Office, Madam Jiang's reputation was effective. When the soldiers of other small flags reacted, they also lay down on the spot.

Even the three brothers of the Ye family who were rushing in the front dismounted in time and lay on the ground.

When Jiang Yan saw that all the soldiers of Xishan Baihu were lying down, she lit the explosives in her hand and threw them into the crowd of Northern Barbarians.

There was a loud "bang" and followed by a wailing, and the exploded soil and different parts of the human body fell down one after another.

"Pooh, pooh!" Ye Zhanyang spat out the dirt that burst into his mouth, and did not forget to look at the miserable appearance of the northern barbarians in front of him and smiled foolishly.

Ye Zhanpeng also wiped off the mud that splashed on his face, and like all the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households, he secretly looked across.

In one hand, Madam Jiang held a tinder, and in the other, someone unknown. The tinder sizzled and caught fire, and then Madam Jiang flung the sizzling object far away. Then they heard a loud "bang," and the northern barbarians flew up into the sky, and a moment later, they fell back down like dumplings.

"Damn, what is that thing in Madam Jiang's hand? Why is she so interested in it?" General Ming, who had not yet crossed the river, stared at the thing in Madam Jiang's hand with angry eyes, wishing he could snatch it away and throw it away.

He just wanted to kill a few more northern barbarians to avenge the soldiers who had died in the battle and the people in Black Stone City who had been harmed by the northern barbarians.

Deputy General Hu shared the same idea as General Ming. To be exact, all the soldiers of the Great Zhou present thought the same.

Jiang Yan: I’m so tired, I feel like my right arm isn’t my own.

"No, I need to rest for a while, you guys go ahead!" After Jiang Yan said that, she found a clean piece of mountain wall and leaned there to catch her breath.

When the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households saw that Madam Jiang had gone to rest, they thought it was their turn to show their prowess, so they immediately got up, grabbed their weapons, mounted their horses, and rushed towards the Northern Barbarian soldiers who were dizzy from the explosion, shouting "Ah Ah".

The soldiers who had not yet crossed the river also hurried to cross it, fearing that they would run too slowly and miss out on their food.

After General Ming led the charge across the river, he immediately searched among the dead bodies lying by the river for the one he most wanted to see.

"Hahaha, I finally found you." When General Ming saw Hu Hanxiao still breathing, he didn't say anything and swung the big knife in his hand, separating Hu Hanxiao's head from his body.

General Ming looked at Hu Hanxiao's head with his eyes open after death, clasped his fists in the direction where Madam Jiang was resting, then waved the sword in his hand and urged his horse to gallop towards the northern barbarians.

Jiang Yan took the opportunity to move up the hillside and found a safe place to sit down.

"Wife, how are you?" Ye Zhan was almost scared to death when he saw his wife running around among the enemy groups like a desperate man, but he didn't dare to say anything, for fear that his wife would be distracted and something would happen.

Only when I finally saw my wife stop to rest did I dare to speak.

"It's okay." Jiang Yan panted, unnoticed, and took out a glass of water from home. She took a sip and then shared what had just happened with the father and daughter. "This is the first time I've done something so exciting."

"You still say it's exciting, but I'm almost scared to death by you."

"Well, there's nothing else to do. You should have seen it just now. The people from the West Mountain Hundred Households arrived, and before the people behind them could catch up, the northern barbarians rushed over."

"That's right." Ye Zhan was panicking when he thought of the northern barbarians' attack just now.

"I have no choice but to go up myself. Otherwise, if I had gone down three seconds later, your old man would have set up his bazooka."
