Countless generals rushed towards her, one after another, only to meet their end with a single fatal blow.

Wherever she went, no one could last even three moves against her.

Such terrifying strength had far exceeded their comprehension.

Under the brilliant sunlight, she appeared like an unstoppable killing god.

A single person, like a sword, stabbed straight into the heart of the enemy army.

The surrounding soldiers retreated step by step, unable to muster the courage to challenge her again in the face of her overwhelming bloodlust.

The Haozhou generals, who had participated in countless battles, had never encountered such a fearsome opponent.

“We must make a decision quickly, or else…” The general’s words barely left his mouth when a gleaming large cleaver slashed towards his face!

Boom!

A loud noise echoed as the general clutched his chest in pain, spitting out blood and stumbling back two steps.

The generals from the sword battalion had already broken through their defenses and arrived right before them.

The Haozhou deputy commander’s expression changed dramatically, realizing he had no choice but to compromise.

He shouted, “All soldiers, retreat! Retreat!”

The sudden appearance of Da Hui reinforcements was far stronger than they had anticipated.

Now that their commander was dead and their heavy shields had been severed by those sharp cleavers, even with heavy cavalry and axe-wielding troops, continuing to fight would no longer guarantee victory.

The Haozhou deputy commander made a quick decision: “Everyone, retreat to Xizhen! Again, retreat to Xizhen!”

His reaction was relatively timely, but under the sword battalion’s assault, they had already suffered heavy casualties.

Initially, they had a significant numerical advantage, but now, they were in a dire situation that was hard to turn around.

Nearly two thousand cavalry and front-line shielded infantry had been lost.

In addition, Liu Yi’s archers continued to shoot, killing countless soldiers.

As the Haozhou deputy commander called for a retreat, their retreat route had already been cut off by Da Hui soldiers arranged by Wen Yueheng!

These soldiers were placed by Liu Yi when Wen Yuesheng had ordered the sword battalion to switch to cleavers.

Under the cover of the sword battalion, they had quietly circled behind the Haozhou army.

When Haozhou attempted to regroup and retreat, they were ambushed.

With no time to adjust, Haozhou was forced to fight the sword battalion head-on.

This move played right into Wen Yuesheng’s hands.

She stood in the crowd, watching the Haozhou soldiers, now desperately fighting the sword battalion, and coldly commanded, “Release the arrows!”

At first, the Haozhou soldiers didn’t react immediately, thinking it was just a typical volley of arrows.

The deputy commander of Haozhou paused for a moment.

Hadn’t they already fired a round of arrows?

How could there be more?

The next moment, he raised his eyes and saw a massive wave of flames rising toward them.

Wen Yuesheng had ordered them to fire specially crafted fire arrows, which were not the typical blunt-headed fire arrows, but arrows with fine cloth soaked in strong liquor and attached to the arrowheads, igniting upon impact!

The moment Wen Yuesheng spoke, the spark from the fire arrows spread into a sea of flames, engulfing the Haozhou soldiers from both sides, who were already struggling to defend.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded, and the battlefield was consumed by a raging fire.

Countless Haozhou soldiers were swallowed up in the inferno.

Today, they had surrounded Da Hui’s soldiers for an ambush, but they never expected to be ambushed in turn by Da Hui, falling in a sea of flames.

Wen Yuesheng’s voice, like a demon from hell, sent chills down their spines:

“Those who drop their weapons now may still live.”

“Those who resist,” she said coldly, her voice void of any emotion, “will be killed without mercy.”

Liu Yi stood behind her, gazing at the slim figure of the woman, feeling somewhat dazed.

For years, Da Hui had suffered from Haozhou’s invasions.

All Da Hui soldiers knew they were far weaker than their enemy.

Thus, on the battlefield, their primary tactics were defense and avoidance.

The defensive and evasive mentality had been ingrained in Da Hui’s soldiers to the core.

Because the weak had no ability to resist under such a fierce assault.

But today, in the first battle where Wen Yuesheng appeared, not only had they won with fewer troops, but they had almost completely triumphed.

Never before had Da Hui been able to capture thousands of enemy soldiers.

They had even shouted “no mercy” in the face of the enemy.

Such things were only dreams for them.

Now, they were witnessing it—Da Hui not only could do it, but they also had their own fierce generals.

Amidst the broken battlefield, the voices of Da Hui soldiers soared high into the sky:

“No mercy!” “No mercy!”

The morale was higher than ever before.

Meanwhile, the fierce battle for Luocheng continued.

The general leading the assault on Luocheng was Feng Yuan, the father of Feng Xi.

He had brought fifty thousand soldiers to face Da Hui in front of Luocheng.

Feng Yuan received the news that Lu Tingyu, the general defending Luocheng from the Lu family, had gone to the capital to provide support, leaving Luocheng without a commander.

He had received orders to capture Luocheng at any cost.

To do this, he and Feng Xi led a combined force of sixty thousand soldiers to Luocheng, and Feng Xi was given ten thousand soldiers to ambush Da Hui’s attacking troops from the flank.

Feng Yuan calculated that, with only about twenty thousand soldiers left in Luocheng, the Feng family’s army should easily overpower them.

For some unknown reason, after Feng Xi led the troops away, no news had come back for a long time.

On the main battlefield in Luocheng, Feng Yuan had already gained a significant advantage.

However, without any news from Feng Xi, Feng Yuan couldn’t launch a full attack with all his soldiers.

After waiting a while, Feng Yuan eventually sent a messenger general to scout from the side.

Yet, after the general was sent, there was still no word from him.

As time passed, Feng Yuan’s face grew increasingly grim.

As an experienced general, he could easily tell from the silence that something major had happened on the side.

Otherwise, there would be no reason for no messages to be sent back.

But Feng Yuan couldn’t figure out who could have come to support Luocheng when the main city was already under attack.

Could it be Lu Qinghuai?

But he had just heard that Lu Qinghuai appeared on the battlefield in Qingcheng.

Although Qingcheng was close to Luocheng, if such a large army were to be transferred to Luocheng, the generals attacking Qingcheng would definitely have informed him beforehand.

So who could it be?

After killing one of the Great Hui generals, Feng Yuan became even more agitated.

“General!” A powerful general, dressed in silver armor, his presence intimidating, approached Feng Yuan.

He was Feng Yuan’s trusted right-hand man, named Feng San.

Feng San spoke in a deep voice, “Should I lead the troops to support the Young Master?”

Having fought for many years, Feng Yuan had a precious son, Feng Xi, and with no news coming from Feng Xi, he was naturally anxious.

But hearing Feng San’s words, he shook his head.

Feng Yuan coldly gazed at the Luocheng gates and the Great Hui soldiers, who were no match for the mighty Feng family army, and sneered, “Once we break through Luocheng’s gates, I will go myself!”

If anything had happened to his son Feng Xi, he would make every soldier and civilian in Luocheng pay the price!

Feng San’s heart sank, and he loudly declared, “Yes!”

“Bring it here.” Feng Yuan’s expression darkened, and he called out to his subordinates. “Prepare the trebuchets.”

Outside Luocheng, the Great Hui soldiers were still doing their best to resist the fierce Hao Zhou troops.

As they looked up, they were shocked to see two gigantic trebuchets in the enemy camp.

The trebuchets of Hao Zhou had been improved, taller and larger than the usual ones, capable of launching massive stones.

Due to Luocheng’s relatively remote location and its status as not being a border fortress, the city gates and defenses were relatively weak.

With the massive force of these trebuchets, the city walls would hardly hold up.

Hao Zhou’s attack was expected to be like usual, but their preparations, especially the trebuchets, indicated their clear intent to forcefully capture Luocheng.

Above Luocheng, the commanding general’s expression changed.

“Archers! Archers, get ready!” He turned around immediately and instructed the archers to prepare.

However, when he looked up, he saw Liu Yi, who had previously mentioned a flank attack, had unexpectedly returned to the city.

Behind him stood a beautiful woman.

The Luocheng general paused for a moment, staring at the woman’s face, which bore some resemblance to Lu Tingyu, and after a long silence, he exclaimed in shock, “Third Miss?”

The Lu family had three generals—Lu Fu, Lu Tingyu, and Lu Qinghuai.

Many considered Lu Hongying, the third daughter, to be unskilled in martial arts.

Now, to everyone’s surprise, she appeared on the battlefield, stunning all surrounding generals.

Lu Hongying merely smiled without explaining, and behind her, many soldiers began bringing large boxes up to the city walls.

Liu Yi ordered the boxes opened.

When the boxes were opened, they revealed the fire arrows used in the previous battle against Hao Zhou’s army.

These arrows were personally modified by Lu Hongying.

She had arrived a little late because the fire arrows weren’t fully prepared, but fortunately, Wen Yuesheng and the troops had bought her more time, allowing the first batch to be completed.

The general stationed in Luocheng was stunned.

When he saw Lu Hongying ordering the archers to take the arrows, he could no longer contain his curiosity and quietly asked, “Third Miss, if you’re here, where is the commander?”

As the current commanding officer of Luocheng, he knew that reinforcements had been sent and was aware of who the commander was.

Although Lu Hongying hadn’t explained, the fact that the generals accompanying her were not originally from Luocheng confirmed that she had come with Princess Sineng.

Since Lu Hongying was here, where was Princess Sining?

Just as he asked this, he saw Lu Hongying raise her head and look toward the city’s outskirts.

“Look,” Lu Hongying said, her gaze fixed ahead.

In the distance, there was only a desolate view, with a gray sky and nothing else visible.

But at the moment she spoke, a loud sound suddenly came from afar, the thundering sound of galloping hooves.

Lu Hongying stood on the city wall, smiling faintly, “The commander has arrived.”

Everyone followed her gaze, and to their surprise, in the far distance, several tiny black dots appeared.

At first, the dots were barely visible, but soon…

The dots formed a line and then expanded into a group.

At the far horizon, Wen Yuesheng appeared in a thin black robe, riding swiftly on horseback.

Behind her, through the rising dust, appeared a vast group of black-clad soldiers.

With the rhythmic sound of hooves and the thunderous rumble, they advanced toward Luocheng with the momentum to flatten the entire city.

“Boom, boom, boom—” The heavy sounds struck everyone’s hearts.

The Hao Zhou generals on the battlefield turned around and, upon hearing the sound, someone shouted in surprise, “The Great Hui reinforcements have arrived!”

As the words were spoken, they saw Wen Yuesheng at the front, wielding a long knife, its tip scraping the ground, leaving deep gouges.

In the howling wind, her cold eyes scanned the surroundings.

A general beside her hurriedly rode forward, holding something bloody in his hand, and tossed it into the Hao Zhou ranks, shouting, “The head of Hao Zhou’s general Feng Xi is here!”

Behind Wen Yuesheng, a perfectly organized army of Great Hui soldiers shouted in unison, “Kill! Kill! Kill!”
