Chapter 637: Release The Supreme Commander From His Post, I’ll Do It (XIV)

“Enemy, enemy attack… enemy…”

A wave of arrows fell from the sky onto the battlement wall and the voices of the guards at the gate stopped abruptly. Soft whimpering could be heard. Any figures that half-rose toppled over with a loud crash. However, the rain of arrows was still falling, and the arrows quickly pierced into the fallen bodies which were beginning to resemble porcupines.

Crimson blood flowed out of the bodies and soaked into the stones and bricks that made up the city wall. It dampened the ground and caused a cloyingly sweet yet fishy smell to saturate the air. It was nauseating.

After the first wave of “arrow rain,” everyone on and under the wall became alert.

How was this possible?

Why was there an enemy here?

Someone was shot in the arm by an arrow. He clung tightly to the foot of the battlement. Holding up a wooden shield, he cautiously poked his head out.

He shouldn’t have looked. The moment he looked, he was scared witless. A cold sweat broke out in profusion across his back.

The snow piled under the city wall was thick and heavy. There seemed to be nothing there at first glance, but if they looked closely, they could see that there was something on the snow-covered ground, and it was moving rapidly. It was as if an ant colony was rushing towards the city wall. When they leaned closer and looked again, they could clearly see that it was a horde of countless enemies!

Who were they?

Where had they come from?

The rain of arrows continued falling from the sky. Many soldiers of the Red Lotus Group were terror-stricken. They did not even realize that the enemies below the city were not carrying any siege equipment. As long as they kept up a good defense against the rain of arrows and organized a wave of counterattacks, they might live for a little while more.

But they were struck stupid by this sudden attack. It was good enough that they did not break out in a panicked stampede, nevermind organize a counterattack.

Some soldiers hurriedly picked up the weapons that had been put aside and tried to shoot arrows down towards the ground outside the city wall. Many more chose to cover their heads and sneak away ignominiously.

Dian Yan watched as Jiang Pengji slapped her horse and rushed into the fray. He quietly gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers to carry on with their advance on the city. He continued to shoot arrows.

“Cover the lord!”

Yang Si, who was at the back, saw that Jiang Pengji’s silhouette had shrunk to a tiny dot. He became so scared that he nearly fell into the snow.

Even if she was the Commander of the Vanguard Battalion, was there any person who was so headstrong or loved to make trouble as much as her?

Yang Si’s heart was in his throat and he almost forgot how to breathe. He kept his eyes glued to the front without blinking. Even though his eyes got a little sore, he did not dare to blink for fear that Jiang Pengji would die on the battlefield in the time that he was not looking.

This battle was much more heart-stopping than the small scale fight the day before. Just by comparing the height of the city wall and the town wall, one could tell that things were on a different level.

Yesterday’s small town had walls that were only about six to seven meters tall. The lord was able to scale the wall easily. What about today?

The walls were taller than thirteen meters, how was the lord going to scale the walls?

Maybe Jiang Pengji would be shot full of arrows until she resembled a porcupine by the time she was just halfway up the wall.

At this moment, he finally understood Wei Ci’s heartache.

With a lord who was adventurous, high-spirited, and did not care about making them worrying over her, as her vassal, he either spent all his energy worrying about her or being scared witless.

Yang Si felt that his life would be cut in half if he was tormented like this a couple more times. It would be difficult to live to the end of his natural life.

The viewers in the livestreaming room also felt the same stimulation and heart-stopping thrill that Yang Si did.

Yang Si was bringing up the rear far behind the front lines and his eyesight was limited. Now he could only see that Jiang Pengji’s figure had turned into a fuzzy red and white dot. But it was different for the viewers of the livestream. Their perspective followed the movements of Jiang Pengji. Such a feeling could be described as an agonizing pleasure.

It was even more exciting than watching a movie on a giant 3D screen.

If they pressed their faces any closer to the screen, it would feel as if those arrows would fly out of the screen and penetrate their brains.

Today’s Another Crazy Day Of Online Shopping: What a close call — host, be careful!

So Poor That I Have No Food: F*ck, that arrow was way too close. If the host hadn’t responded quickly, wouldn’t it have pierced her body?

Still Got To Work Hard This Month: I’m shivering! Even crossing to another dimension has become so dangerous!

Four Updates Everyday In The Future: I’m scared to death! Based on visual estimation, that pair of axes must weigh more than fifty kilograms each? Just how powerful is the host? It seems so effortless for her. If I wasn’t sure that there is no possibility of fraud in the livestreaming room, I would think that those axes are fake.

One couldn’t blame the audience for being skeptical. Not only could Jiang Pengji brandish the long spear so quickly that it produced afterimages, but she could also play with the pair of broad axes to the same effect. It was ridiculously impressive.

Fortunately, Jiang Pengji had closed the bullet screen. Otherwise, the flood of colorful on-screen comments would have drowned out her vision.

Dian Yan was supporting the rear. The arrows flying down the city wall were few in number. While it seemed to be a close call for Jiang Pengji, with Little White’s speed and explosive power, she had perfectly avoided all the cold arrows that sought to kill her. She approached the city wall without any mishaps.

Yang Si was so anxious that he was grinding his teeth. The city walls here were so much higher than the ones she’d climbed yesterday. How was she going to climb up?

Fretful and on edge, Yang Si clenched his fists unconsciously, his nails embedding deep into his flesh, leaving several nail marks on his palms.

Compared to his worrying, most of the viewers in the livestreaming room were mostly there for entertainment.

Killing The White Snake In A Drunken State: Here it comes, here it comes — It’s the host’s supreme feat of ascending a wall by stepping on air! Blink and you’ll miss it!

Willing To Grow Old With You: Host, begin your performance.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Jiang Pengji did not take out a rope or any other item.

Less than twenty meters from the city gate, her right arm muscles suddenly swelled as they gathered strength. Her arm curved into a bow-like shape. She tossed out the ax ferociously, a trace of menace in her calm features. In the next moment, a loud rumble could be heard from the city gate. The long ax was deeply embedded in the gate. The entire body of the ax was buried. The cracks in the gate were like a spider’s web with the long ax as its center. The fissures began to spread in all directions, rousing a thin layer of dust —

The entire city gate was trembling!

She had put too much force into her throw and Little White raised his hooves high in the air. His body was almost perpendicular to the ground as he screamed into the sky.

Jiang Pengji had anticipated this and she gripped the horse’s belly, grabbing the reins with her other hand.

She was steady and had no intention of being thrown from the horse.

Little White used this opportunity to offload the forward force. His raised hooves fell heavily again.

For a moment, everything was quiet in the livestreaming room. For a very short period, a comment-less void appeared on the bullet screen.

Jiang Pengji’s chest rose and fell heavily, her fair and clear cheeks were slightly flushed.

She held up the other long ax and shouted, “All army, attack! Crush them!”

Dian Yan resisted the hot blood surging in his chest and ordered, “Besiege the city!”

With a single order, the soldiers quickened their steps, and the rain of arrows that they fired grew denser.

In Jinmen County, the Red Lotus Group members who were left behind to guard the county had received news of the enemy attacking the city. Many of them were panicking, at a loss for what to do.

“Defend the gates! Don’t let them in!” one of the Red Lotus Group members roared at the others. The flustered Red Lotus army finally calmed down and mechanically resisted the attack on the gates.

As long as they could defend the gates and hold off the enemy outside, they might be able to last until reinforcements arrived.

A dozen or so soldiers resisted the enemy from the top of the gate, fearing that Jiang Pengji would hit the gate with a piece of siege equipment like a battering ram.

In fact, other than weapons, Jiang Pengi did not carry any equipment for a siege or defense.

She was the strongest piece of equipment for a siege!

The members of the Red Lotus Group were terrified when they saw the shiny body of the ax that had penetrated the higher part of the city gate.

However, the scene that caused them to become truly petrified played out in the next instant.
