Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 1021 - 1010: The Ever-Victorious General

"Put out the fire! Quickly, put out the fire!"

"What is this? Why does it burn so fast?"

"Quickly inform the general, water, where is the water?"

"Bang!" Another explosion resounded, leaving a gap in the sturdy city wall; the barbarians were thrown into chaos, bewildered by this substance they had never encountered before.

"General, it’s fortunate that we came across this stuff on our way; it truly packs a powerful punch!" Xia Guang exclaimed excitedly.

"With its massive power, General, should we protect it first?" Tong Chao was quite worried.

"Let’s talk about it after we conquer this city." Ye Qiu’s expression was inscrutable, the corners of her mouth slightly raised. They hadn’t stumbled upon this oil by chance; it was all part of her plan.

Since Cheng Hu believed she would not succeed on this expedition, if she truly lost the Ye Family’s prestige as he expected, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to the Ye Family’s ancestors?

In the past few months, she investigated in her spare time, and one day she saw wildfires surging on the plains; she detected a familiar scent and concluded there was oil underground, not deeply buried.

Sure enough, after digging just a few meters, black oil gushed out. From that moment, she ordered the manufacture of many iron barrels, all for today.

"All soldiers, obey my command, attack fiercely!" Seeing the barbarians’ generals arriving, Ye Qiu personally hurled the last two iron barrels onto their city wall and gate.

Nearby, a skeleton was tied with the Ye Family Army’s banner, harboring barbarians’ arrows; Ye Qiu’s eyes turned bloodshot, her voice hoarse: "Second brother, little sister is here today to take you home."

"Kill!"

"Brothers, charge, avenge our fallen soldiers!"

Ye Qiu, lost in rage, was unstoppable; she quickly reached underneath the city gate. Although the gate had a gap from explosions, it remained heavy. Her forces kept striking with logs.

Leaping onto the wall with agility, just as she was about to untie the ropes binding her second brother’s remains, a barbarian wielding a heavy axe attacked.

"Just in time." Ye Qiu’s eyes were blood-red, shouting down to Xia Guang, "Mr. Xia, they’re here; proceed according to our plan."

"Don’t worry, my lord, I shall not fail." With that, Xia Guang swiftly exited the battle, hurriedly heading back to their camp.

"Rong people are treacherous; today, I must kill you here." This man was Zaha’s greatest disciple, full of brute strength.

"Zha Bu, today’s your doomsday, I shall avenge Darong Dynasty’s disciples." Ye Qiu advanced, wielding a spear with the vigor to fend off ten thousand enemies alone.

Only today did Ye Qiu reveal her true skills. Zha Bu, a top master among the Barbarian Tribe, was second only to his master. His Mountain-opening Axe had slain countless soldiers from the Darong Dynasty. But today, he encountered his nemesis, a mere woman.

His moves were broad and powerful, and so were Ye Qiu’s. He had brute strength, but Ye Qiu, having cultivated the Soul Power Technique, mastered a body-strengthening method, far surpassing others.

The two fought from one end of the wall to the other, reducing half the flags on the wall.

"Master told me to spare your life, but you indeed are despicable; I shall not forgive you." Zha Bu shouted.

"We have always been enemies, destined to fight till death. Though I appreciate your master sparing me, I must kill you today." As she spoke, Ye Qiu’s offensive became even more fierce.

"Report! A great victory! Our great victory!" At this time, Xia Guang had galloped back to the camp entrance, shouting loudly.

Hearing his voice, the soldiers all rushed out one after another.

"What did you say? We won a great victory?" the speaker, Luo Xiao, was the one who previously went to fetch Ye Qiu.

"Yes, our great victory. Now, Zaha’s greatest disciple, Zha Bu, has been slain by General Ye. The Vanguard Army has breached the city; General Ye specifically ordered me to invite the Great General to deploy troops and seize the enemy towns swiftly." Xia Guang’s enthusiasm was unabated, repeatedly announcing.

"Are you sure what you’re saying is true?" Cheng Hu rapidly asked, arriving in haste.

"Of course, it is true; would I dare lie about military matters? Great General, quickly dispatch the troops; Zha Bu is dead, and the gate breached. It’s a golden opportunity to seize the barbarians’ city." Xia Guang echoed what he and Ye Qiu discussed yesterday.

He maintained outward excitement despite inner anxiety since neither Zha Bu was dead, nor the gate breached when he left. But he trusted Ye Qiu, so he showed no sign of worry.

Cheng Hu was deeply shocked by this news, the words repeatedly echoed in his mind.

How could it be? How could Ye Qiu win this battle? How could Zha Bu die?

"Please, Great General, deploy troops promptly." Xia Guang knelt, requesting once more.

"Are you certain you didn’t get it wrong?" Cheng Hu asked sternly.

"I certainly wouldn’t lie."

"Beware if you’re falsifying military information, it condemns the entire family."

"Dispatch a troop, and you’ll find out." Xia Guang’s reassurance was unyielding.

"I’d be willing to lead the troops." Luo Xiao also knelt at this time.

First him, then one after another, a large number of the Ye Family Army followed: "I am also willing to go, please, Great General, give the order promptly."

Such superb methods; with just a few words, they elevated their standing within the army, dispelling recent rumors, all hinging on the conquest and Zha Bu’s demise.

That was Zha Bu, the barbarians’ second most skilled after Zaha! Even he wasn’t sure he could kill him; how could Ye Qiu, a teenage girl, possibly?

"Hu Junshi remains with fifty thousand troops to secure the position, the rest follow me on the march!" Cheng Hu had no choice but to issue the order; if he lost the hard-won city due to negligence, then his position as the Great General was over. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

He rode fast, outwardly exuding high spirits, though he would rather Xia Guang’s news be false.

If Zha Bu were indeed dead, if the city were indeed conquered, then his cooperation with Zaha would end, perhaps even inviting revenge.

Although Ye Qiu had only eight thousand Vanguard Army, there remained hope in Cheng Hu’s heart, but upon arrival, he found the skeleton that once hung at the city gate, Ye Rong’s, now replaced by Zha Bu’s, with the barbarians’ flag swapped for the Ye Family Army’s and Darong Dynasty’s banners.

Zha Bu was indeed dead, and the city truly conquered, by just a woman and her eight thousand men!

Even he found it incredible, let alone his soldiers, who were equally ecstatic.

"Long live the Ye Family Army! Long live Miss Ye!" Unidentified voices started shouting in exultation; they disregarded the Great General’s orders, rushing towards the city gate.
