The Rebirth of a Daughter: My Lord, I Will Never Be a Concubine
Chapter 140: Battle of Huainan 1
"Zhang Xiao, this general will give you one last chance." Su Yanhua spoke softly, with infinite oppression.
Zhang Xiao stood up, his eyes flashing with viciousness and disdain. "Do you think they'll point fingers at me? Who the hell are you? You're just a woman Prince Mo doesn't want. And you dare to step on Prince Mo's head and give us orders? Even if you win, what good will it do? You'll still be lying under a man and let him do whatever he wants..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xiao's eyes, which were already not small to begin to widen uncontrollably, as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets!
At the same time, a shocking trail of blood quickly crawled up his neck like a venomous snake, gradually spreading out, completely covering his entire neck. The blood was bright red and glaring, like magma that had just erupted from deep within his body, emitting a chilling aura.
He stared at Su Yanhua in disbelief, making a hoarse sound.
Su Yanhua stood quietly like a sculpture. Her originally beautiful eyes now seemed to be covered by thousands of years of ice, emitting strands of chilling coldness, as if an iceberg stood there, cold, hard and unshakable.
From the depths of her icy eyes, a murderous intent so intense it was practically unquenchable gushed forth, its terror enough to instantly shatter the souls of anyone who dared gaze upon it. At this moment, her entire being emanated a dark aura like that of the abyss of hell, like the legendary Satan descended upon the earth, filling everyone with fear and trembling.
"Since this mouth is so filthy, let's just throw it away!"
After hearing these words, everyone's bodies began to tremble involuntarily. They looked at Su Yanhua in horror, with deep fear and awe in their eyes.
At this moment, Su Yanhua has become the absolute master of this space. Her presence makes the surrounding air seem to be frozen and heavy and oppressive.
"I tell you, if you don't obey me, I accept your challenge. If you dare to use such dirty tricks, I will let you taste my methods!"
After saying this, Su Yanhua glanced at everyone with a deep and meaningful look, then turned and left.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the receding, slender yet resolute figure, as if that figure had been deeply imprinted in their hearts. At this moment, an indescribable feeling of awe welled up in everyone's heart.
This woman, seemingly frail and helpless, possessed a ruthlessness and terror that even many men could not match. Just now, in full view of the crowd, Zhang Xiao had perished, his gruesome death unbearable to watch. And the instigator of all this was none other than this seemingly delicate woman before him.
Whenever people recalled the bloody and cruel scene just now, their bodies would tremble involuntarily, and their hearts would be filled with endless fear. The chill spread from their spines to their entire bodies, making people shudder.
At this point, no one in the army dared to look down on Su Yanhua! At this moment, Su Yanhua earned the respect of the general!
Su Yanhua didn't want to endure it any longer. The oppression from the powerful had made her consider the consequences of everything she did. But now, she was on the battlefield. As a general, she had absolute power. If anyone dared to insult her, she would kill them without mercy, without considering any consequences. The only thing that made her a little confused was that Mo Cerong didn't stop her just now!
But this thought only lasted for a moment. Su Yanhua took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. During the three or four days of setting up camp, he changed the army's work and rest schedule and bad habits. The entire army was more energetic than before.
After setting off, the journey was smooth. Half a month later, Yun Qin's army finally arrived in Huainan.
The prefect of Huainan County came specially to welcome Su Yanhua and Mo Cerong, and told them about the situation of the battle.
On the second day after the fall of Huainan City, the people in the city spontaneously formed an allied army and drove out the Yan army from the city. Now it is only because of the perseverance of the people that they have held on until now. Facing the Yan army outside the city who are eyeing them covetously, Huainan can't hold out for more than a few days.
Su Yanhua asked, "How many soldiers are left now?"
The Huainan County Magistrate held up five fingers and sighed, "There are still five thousand people."
"What about the other party?"
"A full 100,000 troops!"
Su Yanhua frowned deeply. There were only 40,000 troops including her own, and a large number of troops were still behind. They could not arrive in a short time. However, the people in the city had persisted for a long time. If they knew that their troops were not enough at this time, they would definitely lack confidence. The most important thing now was to stabilize the morale of the army.
The Huainan County Magistrate, his expression grave, led Su Yanhua and Mo Cerong slowly into the city streets. The sight that greeted them was shocking: the once bustling city had been devoured beyond recognition by the relentless flames of war. All that was visible was rubble, scorched earth, and black ash, a dead, gray zone.
The houses that once lined the streets now mostly collapsed, with broken tiles and charred wood scattered everywhere. The once bustling shops were now closed, their doors and windows broken, or even completely gone.
Even more heartbreaking was the sight of civilians sprawled on the cold ground, some motionless, their lives uncertain; others groaning faintly, their bodies twitching from time to time. Family members gathered around the injured, their faces stained with tears, their grief-stricken cries echoing throughout the streets.
The entire street was filled with an atmosphere of death and despair, like a ruin on the verge of collapse, which was unbearable to look at.
Su Yanhua walked over. The bodies were blown to pieces, but their relatives were not afraid. They hugged their bodies tightly, as if they were saving their entire world.
"They all thought Yun Qin had given up on Huainan, and that being able to hold on until now was their limit."
Su Yanhua felt mixed emotions. She felt inexplicably sad, but helpless.
Mo Cerong focused on Su Yanhua, his eyes lowered. "Not everyone wants to see things like this. We're here to prevent these things from happening!"
After hearing this, Su Yanhua's eyes lit up and the determination in her eyes became more obvious.
She walked forward again. The intact soldiers sat on the ground, their eyes had lost their light, and they seemed like zombies.
"These are the intact soldiers among the 5,000 soldiers. They stay here every day to prevent sudden attacks from the State of Yan. They have been staying here without sleep for half a month." The governor of Huainan County couldn't help but sigh.
It’s been half a month. How strong a belief does it take to keep going?
