Chapter 181: Chapter 180: The Battle for Redemption_1

The Bai family army, who had not yet rushed to the mouth of the canyon, killed the first wave of fleeing Xiliang soldiers. Only then did they come to report to Cheng Yuanzhi.

“Where is the general of the Jin army?!” Bai Qingyan, sitting astride her war horse on the high slope to the right of Wengshan Canyon, asked loudly.

Wang Xiping gripped his long broken sword tightly and shouted, “Who goes there?!”

She restrained her panting from the gallop and raised the Commander’s Seal in her hand. Her voice was steady and quick: “Here is the Commander’s Seal. I command you to lead the Jin soldiers and urgently aid the thousand defenders in Wanping on the eastern side of the canyon. Annihilate all Xiliang troops in Wengshan, leave no one alive! Disobey, and… behead!”

Wang Xiping sheathed his sword, and before he could respond, he was shoved aside by the burly Cheng Yuanzhi. Caught off guard, Wang Xiping nearly fell.

Cheng Yuanzhi sheathed his large saber and rushed to the front. His shoulders trembled with excitement, and with red eyes, he choked out, “Young General Bai!”

Wang Xiping: “…”

Pushed aside by Cheng Yuanzhi, Wang Xiping glanced resentfully at him. What was this boor in such a hurry for?!

Wang Xiping looked at Bai Qingyan on the high platform, cupped his fist, and said, “I accept your command!”

After Wang Xiping was ordered to lead the Jin army to aid, she put away the Commander’s Seal and looked at the soldiers before her, the Bai family soldiers who bore both blood and injuries and wore mourning cloths. Thinking of how they had just shouted in the canyon to avenge their grandfather, father, uncles, and her brothers, their voices full of invincible fighting spirit, their bones filled with a fearless determination and hot-blooded fervor.

The complex emotions in her heart surged, and her eyes were bloodshot. This was the Bai family army, which the Bai family had led for generations! Loyal and brave, fearless! To live and die together!

“Young General Bai!” Cheng Yuanzhi’s tears flowed out, his voice choked with sobs. He knelt on one knee, cupped his fists, and cried out, “Please lead us to avenge the Marshal, the Vice Commander, the Bai generals, and the brothers of the Bai family army!”

“Please lead us to avenge!”

“Please lead us to avenge!”

The soldiers of the Bai family army knelt in unison, cupping their fists and shouting passionately, their voices shaking the heavens.

Her eyes filled with hot tears that could no longer be hidden. She tightly gripped the reins, dismounted, and cupped her fists to the Bai family soldiers: “You are all iron-blooded men of the Bai family army! Worthy and courageous elite soldiers! I bow to you! I am sorry, Bai Qingyan… came late!”

She dismounted and bowed deeply to the Bai family soldiers.

“Young General Bai!” Cheng Yuanzhi was choked with sobs and could not speak.

Bai Qingyan leaped down from the high slope and helped Cheng Yuanzhi up. “General Cheng, please rise. All soldiers, please rise!”

Cheng Yuanzhi could not help but let out a low sob. Through gritted teeth, he said, “I am incompetent! I couldn’t protect the Vice Commander. His head is still hanging in the Xiliang camp, and I haven’t been able to retrieve it! I have survived until now, not out of a desire to live; I… just want to avenge the Vice Commander by beheading Yun Poxing, so I can meet the Vice Commander with dignity!”

“Every soldier of the Bai family army is extraordinarily brave. How could there be talk of survival?!” She looked at the remaining soldiers of the Bai family army, unable to contain the sorrow and anger in her heart, shouting to the soldiers: “My grandfather and father have fallen, but the sons and daughters of the Bai family are still here! I, Bai Qingyan, am still here! As long as one person in the Bai family draws breath, the black flag with the white serpent of the Bai family army will never fall! As long as one person in the Bai family draws breath, we will fight and die with the soldiers of the Bai family army!”

“We swear to follow Young General Bai to the death!” Cheng Yuanzhi raised his sword and shouted.

“We swear to follow Young General Bai to the death!”

“We swear to follow Young General Bai to the death!”

Xiao Ruohai and Bai Jinzhi quickly rode over. From afar, they could hear the passionate cries of the Bai family army, swearing to follow Bai Qingyan to the death, their emotions surging.

“Eldest Young Lady!” Bai Jinzhi dismounted with a leap and shouted, “Yun Poxing has led his men to attack!”

Upon hearing this, she raised the bow on her back and clenched her teeth, shouting, “Soldiers of the Bai family army! This battle is to clear our shame! A battle of revenge! Who among the blood-bonded men of the Bai family army dares to follow me and fight the enemy to the death?”

“Fight the enemy!”

“Fight the enemy!”

“Fight the enemy!”

The resounding shouts of the Bai family army, thrice calling to fight the enemy, were awe-inspiring.

Yun Poxing, who had narrowly escaped the fire, was still in shock when he heard the powerful battle cries at the mouth of the canyon.

His scalp tingled. He pushed away the deputy general supporting him, his eyes glaring viciously at the front of the canyon. Drawing the scimitar at his waist, he roared in a rough voice, “Reborn through fire, Xiliang warriors! We have killed the invincible Bai Weiting of the Jin Kingdom! We beheaded his descendants! Now, how dare his little granddaughter shout at the mouth of the canyon that she will kill our bravest warriors of Xiliang?! Can we, the dignified warriors of Xiliang, die at the hands of a woman?!”

“No!”

“No!”

“No!”

The fierce soldiers of Xiliang, who had escaped the fire, howled in response.

“Absolutely not!” Yun Poxing’s bloodshot eyes flashed, his voice thunderous, “Our gods of Xiliang only protect the bravest warriors on the battlefield! I want you to show the courage of wolves! The spirit of eagles! Wipe out the last of the Bai family army! Turn Bai Weiting’s granddaughter into playthings beneath our Xiliang warriors! Avenge our elite soldiers who fell to the Bai family army!”

The escaped Xiliang soldiers, their blood boiling, drew their swords and shouted.

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

“Revenge!”

“Invincible warriors of Xiliang, charge!” Yun Poxing’s hoarse roar directed his scimitar towards the mouth of the canyon.

At the canyon’s mouth.

Bai Qingyan listened to the cries of the Xiliang army echoing through the deep valley. Her voice was steady and clear as she ordered, “Bai Jinzhi, command Shen Liangyu of the Huying Camp. Take sixty elite soldiers from Huying Camp, bypass Tianmen Pass, and attack the rear of the Xiliang camp… according to the map, set fire to the three granaries and armories of the Xiliang army without fail!”

“Bai Jinzhi accepts the command!” Standing on the high slope, Bai Jinzhi leaped onto his horse and rode off quickly.

“Xiao Ruohai!” She threw the Commander’s Seal to Xiao Ruohai, her expression stern, “Take this Commander’s Seal and order the sentinels to return to Wanping on fast horses to report. Instruct the five hundred defenders of Wanping to escort supplies and weapons to Feng County under the cover of night. After clearing the Xiliang troops from the eastern side of Wengshan Canyon, order Shi Panshan and Wang Xiping to each lead ten thousand men to Feng County to rest and replace their weapons, then attack Feng County! You take one hundred elite soldiers from the Huying Camp, sneak into Feng County under the cover of night, set fire to the Nanyan supplies, and coordinate from the inside with the Jin army. Make sure to capture Feng County by dawn!”

Tonight, Wengshan Canyon was ablaze. The scouts of Nanyan were likely to have reported the situation already. The Xiliang army, which outnumbered the Jin army severalfold, had been annihilated in Wengshan Canyon. Nanyan must be terrified by now!

At this time, if the Jin army attacked Feng County directly, capturing it would be a sure thing.

“Xiao Ruohai accepts the command!” Xiao Ruohai mounted his horse and left with the order.

In the canyon, the fierce wind howled like ghosts and wolves.

The Bai family army, led by Bai Qingyan holding the bow, blocked the exit of Wengshan Canyon, their sharp and calm eyes staring into its depths.

She tightened her grip on the bow in her hand.
