Chapter 296: Chapter 220: 1 Person, 1 Spear, 1 Rider (Combined Update of 2 Chapters)

Gu Lan wielded her long spear, her figure ghostly as she swept through, flipping and skewering Wei soldiers one after another.

She liked cleanliness, so she dodged most of the blood, though a few drops splattered onto her silver armor, making her appear even more fierce.

In the battlefield soaked with the smell of gunpowder and blood, Gu Lan held the Azure Gold Spear, like an immortal above dust, overlooking the scene with pride.

One person,

one spear,

one flag,

beneath her feet, a mountain of corpses.

The section of the city wall where Gu Lan stood, no one dared to approach.

Tang Zhan stared at Gu Lan in a daze, a warm current flowing through his heart. He gritted his teeth and once again raised his long knife to fight.

At this moment, with an earth-shattering noise, the immensely thick wall of Yinzhou City, under a whole day’s impact by the battering ram, collapsed with a bang!

"Not good, General, the gate has been—"

A soldier scrambled up to report, but he was struck in the chest by an arrow before he could finish speaking.

"Broken..."

The soldier fell to the ground, drawing his last breath.

Gu Lan, being the closest, felt the soldier’s scorching blood splash onto her fair face.

She knew him,

he was a personal soldier who accompanied Prince Rui last night,

an ordinary person,

she didn’t even,

know his name.

Gu Lan’s calm and sharp eyes were tinged with a layer of blood color.

The sound of the gate being breached was audible to everyone. Tang Zhan, seeing the arrow feather on the back of the personal soldier, had no time to grieve, and shouted: "Where is the thousand-pound gate!?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"It’s already down! But there are too many Wei soldiers, I fear it won’t hold for long."

The thousand-pound gate was the gate’s barrier, weighing over a thousand pounds, only dropped in such dire times when the gate was breached.

Tang Zhan said: "The gate must not be lost, Young Master, what should we do?"

After a moment of silence, only Gu Lan’s clear and indifferent voice could be heard on the chaotic battlefield:

"Tang Zhan, take five hundred elite soldiers to the gate immediately, use the Gate-blocking Blade Car to hold it, once the Wei army breaks through the thousand-pound gate, charge up and combine with the archers on both wings to hold the gate to the death."

"And you?"

"The wall is my responsibility." Her voice was light, carrying an undisputable chill.

"Alright!" Tang Zhan followed Gu Lan’s orders and rushed to the gate with his soldiers.

At that moment, Gu Lan seemed to return to that night of assassination on Yong’an Street.

She heard everyone’s words, her voice of command was incredibly calm, yet in her mind, there was only one word left:

"Kill!"

None of the Wei generals and soldiers who set foot on the wall could escape the long spear in Gu Lan’s hand.

The long spear transformed into a fiery golden dragon, streaking through fire, accompanied by countless screams around her.

She no longer cared about the blood on her body and face, nor the pile of corpses under her feet. Behind her, the Black Dragon Flag fluttered fiercely, yet no one could truly approach her.

"Great General, today we have already climbed the wall, but that young marquis of Yan Country is truly ferocious, and every Yan soldier harbors death intent. If this continues, our army will suffer heavy losses."

Below the city, a Wei general said helplessly.

"This person is indeed a mighty warrior, and at such a young age. Given time, he will be another Gu Chengzhao."

Wei Junzhuo gazed afar at the walls of Yinzhou City, a glimmer of killing intent flashing in his eyes as he raised his hand.

His subordinate immediately handed him a huge golden curved bow.

Wei Junzhuo took an arrow, nocked the bow,

and shot an arrow straight at Gu Lan!

This arrow, whether in precision or strength, was considered the best of its time, seemingly able to tear through the air.

Gu Lan heard the whistling sound from afar, she abruptly pressed on the spear shaft, leveraging up, bending her body into an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the arrow in a split second.

Then, Gu Lan squinted her eyes, her gaze cold as ice, locking onto Wei Junzhuo below the city.

In both their eyes, there was not the slightest emotion.

Wei Junzhuo’s martial arts couldn’t be inferred from this arrow.

But his inner strength was definitely comparable to Yuan’s.

Gu Lan turned her head and casually picked up a fallen hard bow from the ground.

She also nocked an arrow but did not aim it at Wei Junzhuo.

With one arrow, she shot a Wei soldier straight through the throat.

The blood and gunpowder in the air stimulated her vision and senses.

Gu Lan had transformed into a killing machine, with her long spear blazing like fire and thunder, making the Wei soldiers climbing the wall terrified.

"How is the gate side?"

"The Yan army lowered the thousand-pound gate, General..."

"Enough, sound the retreat, Su Yi will take three more days to arrive, I want to see how long Yinzhou City can hold."

As Wei Junzhuo finished his words, a deep and resonant horn sounded from behind him.

"Charge with no retreat!

The will of the assault, leads to certain death!"

In the distance, came the orderly battle cries,

the ground suddenly trembled.

"Great General, that’s the Pingnan Army’s slogan! Could it be that they have really returned?"

"How is it possible," Wei Junzhuo’s eyes slightly narrowed, his expression unchanged, but his face turned cold, "Su Yi could not have returned so quickly."

A messenger fell from his horse, shouting:

"Report! Su Yi, Su Yi... the five thousand Pingnan Army previously outside Yinzhou City, appeared at our army’s rear!"

"From Cang Wind Port to Yinzhou, even fast horses need four days, and the Pingnan Army are all infantry, taking twice the time... how could they have arrived so quickly!?" Wei Junzhuo murmured.

Back then, Lu Jian led three thousand Wei soldiers to feign an attack on Cang Wind Port for a whole day, to make Li Yuanju and Su Yi believe that they were attacking Cang City.

Su Yi is a stern and serious person, he only follows Rong Shuo’s orders, how could he have reacted so quickly.

Even if Rong Shuo requested help at the first moment of the siege, by Wei Junzhuo’s estimation, it would still take three more days for the message to be delivered and for Su Yi to arrive.

Today, the gate of Yinzhou City is already breached.

Just give him one more day, and he would break through Yinzhou!

How could Su Yi have returned at this time?

"Investigate further, could it be another trick of Gu Lan."

"But, but... Great General, that really is....."

A subordinate pointed to the distance:

"That is the Pingnan Army’s flag."

A crimson "Xiao" character, soaring in the sky!

Eight years ago,

that banner,

fluttered in every city in the Southern Border.

Wei Junzhuo suddenly turned back, only to see squads of cold and fierce Yan soldiers in heavy armor appearing on the horizon tinged with evening glow.

No smoke,

no disguise,

only an overwhelming iron-blooded evil aura,

charging step by step towards the Wei army.

Like an ancient black savage beast baring its fangs.

That was,

once the most formidable infantry in the entire Southern Border—

the Pingnan Army!

And the one leading them...

Rong Heng rode at the forefront, his whole body in black armor coated with a layer of scarlet by the sunset, like ignited starlight, with eyes cold as icy light, breaking the wind as he came!
