Chapter 1492 We Fight Back

At six quarters past the morning, the sky was completely bright.

At Xia Xingming's command, the Xia family army quickly got ready in less than a cup of tea and was ready to go.

Xia Zhaoyi got up an hour earlier. Under the guidance of Xia Junnan and Xia Chuan, she practiced spear for half an hour. By the time the army gathered, she had already taken a shower and had been waiting on horseback for a long time.

The morning breeze blew her high ponytail and ink-colored clothes, and her straight and thin body was like a bamboo painted in ink in the lush forest.

After the headcount was counted, Xia Xingming nodded, reined in his horse, turned around, and bowed in front of Xia Zhaoyi, saying, "Second Miss, I'll go and say a few words."

"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi nodded.

Xia Xingming turned around, his eyes became determined, he drove his horse forward, and said in a very loud voice: "My fellow soldiers, in two hours, we will arrive at Jinle Town! Jinle Town is the closest fortress to Hengxiang in Song Zhiyi's territory, and its defense is so strong that you can imagine it!"

"But no matter how strong it is, can it be as strong as the Yong'an Imperial Capital?"

"Back then, everyone knows how Song Zhiyi broke through the gate of the Imperial Capital!"

Xia Xingming pulled the reins and walked to the right, shouting as he walked: "This bastard, he used the flesh and blood of tens of millions of ordinary people to pile up a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!"

"He has ascended to a higher position. He has become the Lord of the Imperial Capital. He has ascended the throne and called himself the Son of Heaven!"

"My fellow soldiers, we are still alive, so we know exactly what kind of black-hearted and rotten-bellied person this bastard is!"

"But the pen of history books is not with us yet!"

"Whoever holds the pen of history can deceive the world and steal the reputation, can reverse right and wrong, can dominate the Spring and Autumn Period, and can leave his name for eternity!"

"We are soldiers. Although we have lost our country, we still have a home! We, the Xia Army, were once raised by the thousands of dead people outside the gates of the Imperial Capital, with grains of rice!"

"We, the Xia Family Army, also came from tens of thousands of families, big and small, and only became the Xia Family Army after joining the army!"

"We are soldiers, and we are also the people's children!!"

"My fellow soldiers, we were powerless to prevent the natural disasters of the past, but we can fight back against the man-made disasters of the past! Li Ju, that bastard who is worse than a pig or a dog, is dead, but the remaining Song Zhiyi is still alive and well, and he is also a very evil person!"

"Today, we will trample Jinle Town! We will not play tricks on him, we will not use tricks on him, we will give him a fair beating in the face!"

"Of course, we have to run after beating us up. He has a lot of support behind him, and there are a lot of troops!"

After hearing his words, the neatly arranged army, which was originally serious and indignant, suddenly laughed, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.

"Beat him?" Xia Xingming suddenly raised his sword and asked.

"Beat him!" All the officers and soldiers raised their hands.

"Beat who!" Xia Xingming asked.

"Song Zhiyi!"

"louder!"

"Song Zhiyi!!"

"Louder!"

Everyone shouted loudly: "Song Zhiyi!!!"

As Xia Xingming's deputy general, Xia Zhi deliberately raised his voice and asked, "General, we are shouting so loudly, aren't we afraid that others will hear us and report us first?"

Xia Xingming laughed loudly: "What are you afraid of? Can our war horses run faster than them? Our war horses are first-rate and fierce horses!"

"Yes!" Zhao Ya, the deputy general of Jian's army, also shouted, "We still have the best weapons and armor!"

Then, other people also spoke up.

"We still have sufficient food and logistical support!"

"We are the brave warriors who have survived the knife-edge of the Northern Yuan battlefield!"

"And our commander-in-chief is the Second Miss!"

"Xia's army is so powerful!!" ...

Xia Xingming turned around, and Jian Jun, Xia Chuan and Xia Junnan followed him. The four veteran generals drove their horses to Xia Zhaoyi.

The four of them clasped their fists and said in unison: "Second Miss, please give the order!"

Xia Zhaoyi's eyes were bright. He glanced at the major military formations and said loudly, "All troops, listen to my orders! Follow me and march to Jinle Town! We will go and beat Song Zhiyi. We must make a quick decision! No civilians should be harmed, but all the military pay, food, and soldiers in Jinle Town must be spared!"

"Leave no one behind!"

“Leave no one alive!!”

Xia Zhaoyi pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, whipped it forward, and shouted louder than the sound of the whip: "Go!"

Xia Xingming, Xia Junnan and others followed immediately.

Thousands of people set out on a forced march. The horses' hooves trampled the ground, the grass and trees trembled, and the birds in the forest were startled and flew in flocks towards the clouds.

The Xia family soldiers have been in the military for half their lives. No matter whether it is steep mountains, freezing ice, or the trap-proof northern desert, they are used to traveling quickly.

While Hengxiang had been resting for many months, they had never neglected their training. The new recruits who joined later were trained in a more rigorous way by Xia Xingming and Jian Jun. At the same time, with the influence of the veterans of the Xia family army, these new recruits were also growing rapidly.

They charged through the forest without anyone falling off their horses. An hour after running out of the ancient forest, Xia Zhaoyi led his troops to leave Ningzhou and took a very remote ancient mountain road. They did not go in the southwest or west or south directions, but bypassed the weakest line of defense in the northwest and rushed directly into Jinle Town.

It is not yet past the hour of Si and not yet the hour of Wu, which is the time when the sentinels are in the best spirits of the day.

From afar, I could feel the ground shaking beneath my feet. The sentries on duty looked at each other, all a little confused.

Suddenly, a man on the marching building looked into the distance, pointed his finger, and shouted, "Not good!!"

The sentries looked over and were all shocked.

On the plain in the distance, several war horses were in front, and behind them, thousands of soldiers and horses were galloping out of the valley at an incredible speed.

They had no attachment to the villages and crops on the plains. Their target was very clear: they were there!

A sentry turned around and ran inside, shouting as he ran: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The soldiers on the marching building also shouted inside.

Not long after, the war gongs were banged loudly.

It was a clear and peaceful day, no different from any other day, but the sudden sound of the war gong threw the guards at the stronghold into a panic. Countless of them had never been on a battlefield before, and for the first time they felt what it was like to be frightened and at a loss.

Under the arrangement of the captain and the captain, they hurriedly carried their lances and moved forward to position themselves.

Those who had weapons took them, and those who didn't have weapons took them, but before their palms could even warm up the weapons they had just received, they heard screams coming from the marching building outside.

A thin girl rode away from the fierce enemy troops.

Xia Zhaoyi ran wildly while pulling the bow in his hand to its fullest extent.

The accuracy and continuous shooting power of bows and arrows are not as good as those of crossbows, but on horseback, the range that bows and arrows can achieve is beyond the reach of crossbows that rely on heavy mounts to launch long-range arrows.

A long arrow came through the wind and shot through the chest of the sentry on the marching tower cleanly and neatly.

The sentry fell down the barracks with a scream.

Immediately afterwards, the girl on horseback drew three more strings and aimed at the three sentries downstairs of the marching building.

Behind the blunderbusses, a team was running wildly, shouting, "Shoot, shoot quickly, shoot her, quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl, who had grown up playing with various crossbows and arrows, took away three lives and then quickly killed him.

The guards who came hurriedly nocked their arrows, but before they could draw their arrows, the girl, with her incredible speed, sent them away one after another.

But this is only the beginning.

Behind the girl, the army arrived.
