The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 415: The Army at the Gates (Part 5)

"Hurry back, do you hear me?" Unconsciously, Su Xingqiao’s voice softened considerably.

But Han Jing shook her head: "We’ve only temporarily pushed them back. Once their reinforcements arrive, we’ll be in danger. I have to wait for Su Yu to come back. I believe he will return."

She was still not proficient in controlling the fire ability, so she could only cause small-scale explosions that couldn’t inflict serious injuries over a large area. Once the enemy army recovered, they could counterattack just as easily.

Su Xingqiao, of course, knew more clearly than she did that what she was saying was the truth. He was really worried her body couldn’t take it, so he had no choice but to say helplessly: "Go back and wait. I’ll send someone to inform you if there’s any situation."

"Brother Qiao, you haven’t rested these past few days, have you? You should go rest for a while. Don’t worry about me. Once the enemy’s reinforcements arrive, it’ll be another fierce battle," Han Jing said, waving her hand.

Su Xingqiao...

He was about to say more to her but was interrupted by someone coming to report military intelligence. Indeed, he still had a lot of things to do, and as for resting, there wasn’t any time for that.

The current situation was definitely not a time for them to relax, so he could only give Lan Ling a knowing look, and then unwillingly left with the soldier who came to report.

Unfortunately, Lan Ling didn’t even catch a bit of that look; he only listened to the boss and Little Jing zi, ignoring everyone else.

Based on the intelligence they gathered before, the enemy reinforcements should have arrived this morning, and by then, there would be no way to stop them.

There was still no news from the Imperial Uncle’s side, and Su Xingqiao didn’t know what the situation was now.

He hurriedly left, discussed the next plans with several generals, and just after arranging everything, received news that the enemy reinforcements had arrived early.

After the fierce battles of the past two days, their fifty thousand troops had already suffered almost half casualties, while the enemy’s reinforcements had as many as a hundred thousand. Along with the enemy forces still able to move, the enemy had over a hundred thousand. They could only defend the city, which was like throwing an egg against a rock.

Without time to rest, Su Xingqiao quickly deployed the rest of the forces. As he expected, to quickly break the city without any further incidents, the enemy reinforcements launched an attack as soon as they arrived, without even resting.

The enemy army surged like a tide once again.

This time, it was even more intense than last night.

Han Yuxiao didn’t expect that at this moment, Han Jing still hadn’t left.

She couldn’t care about any awkwardness and shouted at her: "Are you crazy? Why aren’t you leaving yet? There’s really no need to compare yourself with me. It’s my fault for what happened in the past, and I apologize to you. Hurry back, or you’ll really lose your life!"

Han Yuxiao thought that Han Jing was hesitating to leave, perhaps because she felt embarrassed to leave while she was fighting on the wall. But how could they be the same? She had martial arts and had been to the barracks often, but Han Jing, she was still pregnant!

She overheard her father and second brother saying that the reinforcements led by her elder brother couldn’t arrive within these two days, while the western reinforcements might get here within these two days, but there’s no guarantee of when exactly!

So the city could be breached at any time, making Han Jing’s staying here the most dangerous place!

If she stayed at the mansion, at least, even if the enemy broke the city, they wouldn’t go so far as to attack the mansion, would they?

So Han Yuxiao watching Han Jing still being here was truly anxious!
