I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

Traitor Zhu Haozhi's injuries have prevented him from exerting his full strength. Facing this goddess-like woman, he can only barely maintain his defense.

Ning Mei continued her fierce attack. Her spear, like a venomous snake, darted directly and brutally through Zhu Haozhi's swordplay, each strike causing Zhu Haozhi excruciating pain.

The three consorts of the Southern King cultivated together with Long Bin last time. While counteracting the poison of Long Bin's extremely yang gentian essence, they also absorbed the yang energy of the gentian essence, which greatly increased their power.

Otherwise, Ning Mei would not have been able to defeat Zhu Haozhi.

Seeing that Ning Mei was invincible, Fu Yao and Ning Lan turned around and charged towards the central army tent.

Zhu Haozhi was filled with fear and despair; he knew he had no chance against this woman.

However, at that moment, a dark shadow suddenly flew in from afar, heading straight for Zhu Haozhi. The shadow was extremely fast, arriving in front of Zhu Haozhi in an instant. Zhu Haozhi felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, and his body involuntarily flew backward.

When Zhu Haozhi fell heavily to the ground, he finally saw that the dark figure was Lu Yuan.

"Traitor! How dare you betray the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Zhu Haozhi looked at Lu Yuan, the royal bodyguard general, with horror. Lu Yuan's martial arts skills were slightly lower than Lan Tianpeng's, but he was the number one warrior in the Great Xia King's Palace.

Upon encountering Lu Yuan, he immediately realized that he was truly doomed this time.

However, at that moment, a rain of arrows carrying fireballs rushed towards them, and in an instant, they were surrounded by a sea of ​​fire.

It turns out that reinforcements from the Kingdom of Wu have arrived.

Only the people of Wu Kingdom didn't care about the lives of these rebels and attacked them together with Zhu Haozhi.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan shouted, "Three princesses, retreat!"

He knew that now was not the time to fight the Wu Kingdom head-on, and he had to go back and discuss the matter with Ma Xiangshui, the general in charge here.

So he quickly withdrew from the battlefield with his soldiers.

When Ma Xiangshui saw that the Wu Kingdom had suddenly increased its troops and was shooting arrows with gunpowder at the three queens, he was so frightened that he quickly ordered preparations to attack.

Just then, a group of soldiers rushed into the enemy camp. A scout reported that Vice Governor Lu Yuan had personally arrived at the front line.

Ma Xiangshui immediately led a force of elite troops to support Lu Yuan and his men.

Meanwhile, the three princesses leaped over the city wall and left without saying goodbye.

Ma Xiangshui was taken aback when he saw this. He had already suspected that the Prince of Nan had three consorts among the common people.

After entering the city, Lu Yuan sat down with the garrison officers according to rank. He avoided those around him and whispered, "The three concubines of the King of Yizipingjian are living in seclusion in Ruxu City. This is a top secret."

Ma Xiangshui was shocked: Is she really the princess?

In his surprise, Ma Xiangshui hurriedly asked, "Lord Lu, how come the Wu Kingdom has gunpowder?"

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "His Highness the Prince of Nan once said that gunpowder and cannon technology would be copied by others sooner or later. So, Lord Ma, there is no need to worry."

"Our first priority now is to drive away the Wu rebels as soon as possible."

Ma Xiangshui said, "I believe we should not allow them to set up a gunpowder arrow formation, otherwise our city will be engulfed in flames."

Lu Yuan slammed his fist on the table and said, "Move out immediately! First, bombard them with artillery fire from near to far, then launch a full-scale attack!"

Ruxu is bordered by the Wu Kingdom to the southwest and the Jiupai River to the east. Therefore, even though Ma Xiangshui had cannons at his disposal, he did not easily engage in a siege battle with the enemy.

Although Ma Xiangshui was a highly skilled martial artist, he was a civil official and, when war came, he made the common mistake of overthinking things.

Now, after hearing what Lord Lu said, he immediately sensed the impending crisis and could no longer hesitate.

Ma Xiangshui jumped up and headed straight outside the mansion, saying as he walked, "My soldiers have been on high alert, and I've already put the cannons on the wall!"

Half an hour later, just as Zhu Haozhi finished bandaging his wound, he heard bombing sounds coming from around the camp.

"Oh no, Ma Xiangshui has launched a counterattack!"

The lieutenant rushed in in a panic.

Several people hurriedly climbed onto the watchtower, only to see countless tongues of fire stretching towards them from the walls of Ruxu, which frightened the generals so much that they scrambled to the ground.

"My God! How many red cannons are there?"

Zhu Haozhi hurriedly shouted, "Didn't Wu send gunpowder arrows? Quickly retaliate!"

"General, the rocket battalion has already been deployed to the forward positions."

Just as the lieutenant finished speaking, a series of loud rumbling sounds suddenly rang out, as if they were right in front of him, shaking the watchtower.

"It's over, all of Wu's gunpowder arrows have been bombarded!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haozhi roared, "Everyone, get on your horses and prepare for a fight!"

The generals returned to their camps separately. Zhu Haozhi went into his dormitory and shed bitter and regretful tears. He changed out of his general's uniform and quietly slipped out of the camp.

Just as he stepped out of the trench, the central command tent behind him had already been hit by several artillery shells.

He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud, muttering to himself: "I'm lucky to be alive."

However, just as he got up, dusted himself off, and was about to leave, a woman's voice suddenly rang out behind him: "Zhu Haozhi, do you think you can escape?"

"Ah...?" Zhu Haozhi was so frightened that he fell down with a thud. When he turned around, he saw three masked women holding long swords and staring at him.

This was incomprehensible to Zhu Haozhi. He could disguise himself and escape without anyone knowing, so how did these three people know?

Logically speaking, how could someone at the sixth-grade master level not have noticed that there were three people watching him from behind?

Are these three women of a higher level than me?

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, tens of thousands of Xia soldiers had already stormed into the camp, and the rebel army and the Wu army had collapsed completely.

A large number of defeated soldiers rushed towards them. Seeing this, Fu Yao waved his hand, and a tree branch pierced Zhu Haozhi's abdomen, pinning him to the ground.

The three women leaped into the air, and the defeated soldiers rushed forward like a flood breaking through a dam.

Poor General Zhu was trampled into a pile of mud by his own soldiers, and his huge head was rolled into a dry ditch like a football.

The soldiers of Daxia pursued the enemy like hungry tigers, and the poor Wu army suffered countless casualties. When Lu Yuan's troops caught up with Shulu, he suddenly had a brilliant idea: why not take Shulu as well?

The 2,000-strong force threw all the grenades they carried onto the walls of Shulu City, and the garrison at Shulu County, the eastern gate of Wu, surrendered one after another.

Within an hour, the red flags of the Great Xia Kingdom's King of the First Rank, King of the South, and Grand Marshal Jinbao were planted on the city wall of Shulu, making Lu Yuan laugh heartily.

In its attempt to seize the red cannons in the warehouse at Ruxu Wharf, the Wu Kingdom not only lost 26,000 elite soldiers but also lost areas such as Shulu, Tongzhaji, and Wangouzhen.

Just as Lu Yuan, Ma Xiangshui, and others were displaying their prowess and raising Zhu Haozhi's head to show to the public, Meng Juwen, a traitorous general from Jiuzi in Jiangnan, lost his head overnight.

As the eastern dawn shone upon the earth, a blood-stained human head hung on the flagpole in front of the rebel army's central command tent, with a white curtain bearing red characters: "Meng Juwen betrayed the Great Xia Kingdom, his crime is to be committed by the extermination of nine generations of his family and beheaded as a public spectacle!"
