After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 625 - 383: The Prince’s Valor

Lian Yang opened his mouth, but couldn’t utter a word.

He had stealthily gone to the Great Zhou Capital to track Yang Yi but was thwarted halfway. On his subsequent journey to the Northwest, he hadn’t heard any news from the Great Zhou about the Crown Prince. Even Luo Zhao, who was the leader of the frontier army, knew nothing. He assumed Yang Yi still refused to see the Emperor, so he still had an opportunity!

It turned out that all of this wasn’t just a trap laid by Luo Zhao; the mastermind wasn’t even Luo Zhao but the Northwest Army, the entire Great Zhou frontier!

Lian Yang clenched his teeth, gripping the reins tightly as he looked around. At a glance, the cries of battle around him surged like a tidal wave.

At this moment, Wu Chengping suddenly widened his eyes and pointed behind him, shouting, "Look behind you!"

Lian Yang hadn’t turned his head yet when the rumble of galloping hooves had already come from behind.

Several miles away at the mouth of a canyon, there were stone hills of various sizes and scattered boulders on the ground. At this time, led by Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili, countless Great Zhou soldiers were surging out from the narrow path’s end. They were like a torrent rushing from ancient times, sweeping towards him and the army of a hundred thousand in an instant...

"Quick, face the enemy!"

Two rebel generals accompanying Wu Chengping immediately raised their broadswords and commanded the generals on all sides.

The army of a hundred thousand immediately arranged themselves in a defensive formation. In the blink of an eye, the frontline troops were already engaging with the Dongzi Army and the Great Zhou Army led by Yang Yi.

Surrounded in the center by soldiers, Lian Yang, Wu Chengping, and the others didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. In a regular battle between two armies, the commander-in-chief would not personally venture to the front lines, as the commander-in-chief is the soul of a troop. Unless it was a matter of life and death, they all had to stay at the rear to command the battle.

Yet now, they not only found themselves on the battlefield but also encircled in the center by both Great Zhou and Dongzi. In such a formation, talking about commanding was already out of question, as even a fool could see that the immediate priority was to break through!

Their only way to survive was to break through!

If they couldn’t, they were undoubtedly headed for a dead end!

"We’ll split into three routes and fight our way out! Head towards Dayue!"

By now, the day was bright. Wu Chengping surveyed the situation on three sides and immediately raised his big knife, urged his horse forward, and charged ahead. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Upon his command, the rebels quickly left Lian Yang behind and moved forward.

Seeing this, Lian Yang spurred his horse to catch up, "There’s still Pei Zhan at the rear, what do you plan?!"

"Don’t you still have people?!"

Wu Chengping reined in his horse and pointed to the large group of guards behind him.

Lian Yang glanced back at his hundred or so men and gritted his teeth, "Do you think they can withstand Pei Zhan and his iron cavalry?"

Wu Chengping replied, "You brought these people here, so you should take the responsibility for the aftermath!"

"Are we really going to keep distinguishing between us at this point? Don’t you want that half of the Tiger Talisman?!"

Lian Yang took a rectangular brocade box from his guard’s hand, quickly opened it, and took out a half-moon-shaped Jade Token from inside!

Upon seeing this, Wu Chengping gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and waved his left hand, splitting off a unit to protect Lian Yang at the rear: "You can use these two thousand men, whether you can keep up or not is up to you!"

Lian Yang knew he couldn’t ask for more at this point, so he signaled Lian Yi to command these two thousand men into the battle arena.

Pei Zhan had long since reined in his horse at the rear, watching them like ants on a hot pan.

Gao Changyuan and Luo Zhao had already caught up with their men. Under the rising morning sun, Luo Zhao pointed to the only one in civilian clothes beside Wu Chengping, unarmored and weaponless, and said, "That’s Lian Yang!"

With the encirclement advancing from all sides, Lian Yang and his fellows moved extremely slowly. Pei Zhan squinted his eyes, estimated the distance between them, took the bow and arrow from a soldier beside him, rode into the battle, and shot an arrow aimed directly at Lian Yang mid-gallop!

The arrow seemed to have eyes, flying in pursuit of his panicked escape route!

Lian Yang was startled, reached out to grab a long spear nearby, and began to wave it around.

Yet, surrounded by soldiers and horses on all sides, his maneuvering space was ultimately limited. Finally, with a soft, almost inaudible thud, the arrow pierced into his left back with force, causing him to stumble forward on his horse.

"Quick, reinforce and protect our lord!"

Seeing Pei Zhan and the Zhou Army rapidly approaching, Lian Yi panicked and shouted, only to see Pei Zhan once again raise the longbow. Under the tension of the tight bowstring, three arrows shot straight toward his face!

A searing pain arose from his scapula, spreading everywhere. He gritted his teeth and looked up, only to feel pain in his right arm as well, as two of the three arrows simultaneously released by Pei Zhan struck his left and right shoulders.
