Chapter 123: Victorious

Both armies were stunned to suddenly see a beautiful white-robed maiden appear on the battlefield.

But the bow had been drawn and they could not stop.

Furthermore, the only ones who could see her were the ones near her. Those that were following behind only knew to press ahead, for their sight was obstructed by the rising dust.

"Kill them – Kill them so that we may have peace once more!" the Jins shouted.

Their shouts were accompanied by clopping horseshoes and the whooshing of weapons. Endless dust and screams once again occupied the earth, with only horseshoes to trample on insignificant lives.

On the fortress.

Wang Hong's scream vanished into thin air. All he could do was stare after the white silhouette and its shadow, for he knew his shouts and orders were all useless...

At this time, Yu Zhi cried aloud, "This young lady looks so familiar." He strode to Wang Hong. "Qilang, isn't that Ah Rong of the Chen House?"

Wang Hong's answer was made with shut eyes. Beads of perspiration formed on his forehead.

Standing beside them, Chen Gongrang also exclaimed: "Ah Rong? Is she Ah Rong? I thought she was with Shi Min?" He laughed and declared with pride in his voice: "My dear gentlemen, that's our family's lass! We pride ourselves for possession of lofty characters, but we've all lost to a little girl today!"

They had really lost to a little girl.

At this time, the soldiers on the wall who had either been afraid or wanted to retreat all clenched their teeth and prepared to fight with their lives.

The entire Jin army marched forward. Even the timid ones were bracing themselves for death. They faced the rising smoke and dust, and let out a roar upon seeing the white figure standing in the open field.

It started out with one roar, then gradually grew louder and louder.

Eventually, this echoing roar was the only sound left on earth.

The generals who had wanted to rouse their soldiers' morale no longer needed to.

All the enthusiasm and determination had been lit.

Before they knew it, the soldiers had begun to yell: "Kill them – the barbarians won't let us live. Kill them."

"Kill them! Only then will we live!"

"Kill them!"

One shout followed another. Pairs of eyes glowed crimson out of desperation. Almost instantaneously, the Jin army's confidence grew tenfold... They all only had one thought: Once the city was captured, they would be met with the same fate as those in Mo'yang. Since there was no escape, they must risk their lives and fight.

Nevertheless, confront someone with death and he will fight to live. Up until now, the Jin soldiers had been infamous for their cowardice. But they had changed.

Murong Ke sat up. He stared straight at the smoky battlefield to the white silhouette and then waved his hand with a sudden order: "Engage! Now!"

He knew that his soldiers were accustomed to disregarding the Jins. The enemy had clearly begun to attack yet they were still lazily laughing around.

When Murong Ke shouted his command, Wang Hong coldly ordered from the fortress: "Open the gate so that our troops can break out from here!"

He whirled around and announced, "I, of the Wang clan, will break out from this gate to fight the barbarians!"
