When the familiar voice sounded on the battlefield, everyone was shocked.

"It's Doctor Jiang! It's Doctor Jiang's voice! She's still alive! She's not dead!" Chen Lihu shouted excitedly.

As soon as the voice came out, Lu Lingsong and Lu Qingheng's faces turned pale instantly, and they stared at the figure riding on the horse.

He was heroic, with the silver spear in his hand shining like a frosty luster in the sunlight. That was Ao Shuang.

It was indeed Jiang Ningwan.

But how could Jiang Ningwan still be alive!

And she was holding the token of King Zhao!

"She is holding the token of King Zhao. Does that mean she has surrendered to King Zhao? Traitors should be killed!" Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth and immediately accused Jiang Ningwan of a crime.

Jiang Ningwan heard the voice but ignored it.

He raised the token in his hand and looked towards the city wall. "Where is Gu Hu? Don't you recognize the King of Zhao?"

Gu Hu saw it, how could he not recognize it.

He saw clearly that it was the token of King Zhao.

But how could it be in her hands!

"Did you steal the King Zhao's token?" Gu Hu asked sternly.

Jiang Ningwan raised the corner of her lips slightly and glanced sideways at Jiang Zhouye.

Jiang Zhouye curled his lips into a smile, cooperated tacitly, opened the wooden box in his arms, threw it into the sky, and a bloody head flew high into the sky.

Jiang Ningwan thrust his spear straight into the skull and raised it high.

"Isn't your King Zhao right here?"

"I stole the token, but I didn't steal it."

"The King of Zhao has been executed, why don't you open the city gates and surrender?"

The resounding voice sounded, and the head of King Zhao was placed on the spear with a cold glow, looking majestic and imposing.

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless.

The head of King Zhao.

On her spear!

Gu Hu's face suddenly turned pale, and his legs couldn't help but tremble. King Zhao was dead! Could General Luo also...

Finished!

The soldiers in the rear burst into excited cheers.

"Doctor Jiang! Doctor Jiang!"

The cheers were deafening and echoed through the sky.

The sound rang out one after another, making Lu Qingheng's scalp numb and his head buzzing.

Qin Beihuang looked at the figure in shock, unable to recover for a long time. The figure with a spear pointed at the head of King Zhao looked so heroic and valiant, which was totally different from Jiang Ningwan.

Soon, the city gate opened.

Jiang Ningwan and Jiang Zhouye rode their horses into Canglong City. When they saw Gu Hu tremblingly coming to surrender, Jiang Ningwan killed him with a sword without hesitation.

Blood splattered.

The soldiers in the city surrendered one after another.

Jiang Ningwan rushed straight to where Yan Yue was being held and released him. "General Yan, are you okay?"

Yan Yue looked like he hadn't eaten for a few days. His face was pale and his lips were chapped. He was a little surprised when he saw her. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Canglong has been captured!" Jiang Ningwan smiled and looked very excited.

Yan Yue walked out of the room and saw the surrounding scene. He couldn't help but look at Jiang Ningwan with admiration.

Soon, Lu Lingsong and Lu Qingheng arrived.

Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth in hatred. Jiang Ningwan was not dead, and Yan Yue was not dead either.

After occupying Canglong City, the soldiers cheered and Jiang Ningwan's name kept ringing out, overwhelming the whole place.

Several deputy generals also praised Jiang Ningwan highly.

"Doctor Jiang was able to take the King of Zhao's head, forcing Canglong City to open its gates and surrender, and recapture Canglong. Doctor Jiang was the first to do so!"

"Yeah, I didn't know how long this battle would last, but I didn't expect it to end early."

At this time, Qin Beihuang also stepped forward, his eyes showing surprise and joy. "You fell into the trap set by Canglong City before. How did you escape?"

He originally thought that Jiang Ningwan was dead, but he didn't expect her to come back and bring back the head of King Zhao. That majestic and heroic figure lingered in his mind.

"I won't go into the details, but the battle was won!"

She didn't want anyone to know the true identity of the Ghost-faced Yama.

Lu Qingheng gritted his teeth and forced a smile as he stepped forward, "It's a blessing that Miss Jiang is still alive. My second brother and I have been worried for several days."

"Seeing that you and General Yan are both fine, I feel relieved."

Jiang Ningwan glanced at her indifferently, "Are you genuinely happy? How come your smile is uglier than your cry?"

Lu Qingheng's expression froze slightly.

Some can't hold on.

He pinched his palms tightly and said with a smile: "Maybe you have been working hard recently and you are not feeling well."

Jiang Ningwan raised the corners of her lips slightly. "I guess it's because you've put so much effort and energy into rescuing us that you've done this. Thank you, General Lu, for your hard work."

This blatant irony is embarrassing.

Even Qin Beihuang looked a little embarrassed. He had not discussed rescuing them in the past few days.

They had long been abandoned.

If this gets out I'll be ashamed to face anyone.

"By the way, there was clearly a trap in Canglong City. Why did the fireworks go off by mistake that day? They caused the army to charge into Canglong City. Do you know how many people died?"

Jiang Zhouye questioned in an unhappy tone.

Lu Lingsong's face turned grim. "That soldier gave the wrong signal."

Jiang Zhouye was furious, refusing to let it go. "Wrongly placed? How could such an important thing be placed wrongly? Was it intentional, or is General Lu incompetent in commanding his subordinates? As the great general protecting the nation, do you think you can cover up the loss of so many lives with just one wrongful death?"

Everyone around was silent. Everyone knew that Lu Lingsong was responsible for this matter.

Lu Lingsong gritted his teeth and said, "It is my fault for not being able to manage my subordinates. As the commander-in-chief of the army, I will bear all the responsibility!"

"When I return to Kyoto, I will report the truth to His Majesty. The reward or punishment will be decided by His Majesty."

Jiang Zhouye crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "You still want a reward? The conquest of Canglong was the result of Ning Wan's killing of King Zhao. What did General Lu do?"

"I'm afraid we're in danger, and you haven't even thought of rescuing us?"

Thinking of his desperate situation that day, he couldn't give Lu Lingsong a good face.

"you!"

Lu Lingsong looked unhappy after being humiliated in public.

He had no choice but to turn around and give the order: "Clear the battlefield!"

……

Return to camp.

The list of casualties was also released. Five hundred and thirty-six people were lured into a trap by a false signal and died during the siege.

Another 120 people were injured.

Although casualties are inevitable on the battlefield, these more than 500 people could have been saved.

They were victimized by false signals from their own people.

During the meeting, Lu Lingsong blamed Yan Yue: "Deputy General Yan, as a veteran of many battles, you should have made a rational judgment of the battlefield situation. You shouldn't have rushed in so quickly under the wrong signal."

"I had high hopes for you. I thought you wouldn't rush in. How could you still rush in when the wrong and correct signals came one after the other, almost at the same time?"

"More than 500 people died!"

Yan Yue's face turned pale due to his injuries. Facing the questioning, he held his breath but still did not refute.

"Once the signal is given, I just follow orders."

Lu Lingsong said angrily: "If you don't know how to adapt, how can you take on such an important responsibility!"

"You should step down temporarily."

Yan Yue didn't say anything.

Seeing Yan Yue remained silent, Jiang Ningwan couldn't stand it any longer and slammed the table and stood up.

"Before General Lu punishes General Yan, please reflect on your mistakes on the battlefield. What was your first move after we strayed into the trap?"

"If rescue had been carried out immediately, not so many people would have died."

"I believe General Lu bears full responsibility for this defeat!"
