A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 352: Lady Yun on White Horse and Silver Spear

It was late at night and the spring rain was drizzling. The Xiyue Army and the Wucang Army took advantage of the rainy night to attack Liunan Kingdom from the northeast and southwest respectively. Although Liunan Kingdom was shocked by being sandwiched at both ends, it seemed to have been prepared.

The Liunan Army stationed in the southwest first pretended to be defeated and fled when faced with the Wucang Army's surprise attack, then lured the enemy into a trap set in advance and captured them all in one fell swoop, causing the Wucang Army to suffer heavy losses and be defeated and scattered. When the other Liunan Army, which had already camped outside the capital of Wucang State, learned the news, it also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

After more than half a month of fighting, the Wu Cang Army had already lost nearly half of its soldiers. Today, in cooperation with the Xiyue Army's night attack, it secretly transferred some troops out of the city. Therefore, the troops in the capital are no longer sufficient to resist the aggressive Liunan Army.

The King of Wu Cang hurriedly sent people to ask for help from the Xiyue Army. Shufeng, who was in charge of the army, was furious when he heard that the Wu Cang Army sent to launch a surprise attack in the southwest had been defeated by Liu Nan. He knew that the Wu Cang Army was incompetent but he did not expect them to be so weak that they were beaten like this by Liu Nan's army in less than two hours?

However, although Shufeng despised Wu Cangguo, this stupid teammate, he knew in his heart that if they watched Liu Nanjun destroy Wu Cang so easily, it would inevitably boost their morale once again, so he immediately sent a group of elite soldiers to Wu Cang for support.

At the same time, Yan Zong led an army of less than a thousand people to attack the northeast of Liunan. The real purpose of this night attack was to test the military defense of Liunan. As he expected, although the defense of Liunan's border was not as strong as a rock, it was obviously much better than what he knew before. Yu Cheng and Arnold's two sieges were blocked by the Liunan army.

Furthermore, the night attack today was a sudden idea of ​​Yan Zong, but Liu Nanguo had already prepared for it, which made him more curious about who was behind Liu Nanguo? This person seemed to have a thorough understanding of the strategy of the Xiyue Army.

"Your Highness, it seems that we have underestimated the Liunan Kingdom. We didn't expect them to be so resilient." Yu Cheng rode back to the central army from the front formation and reported to Yan Zong.

"Let Arnold retreat." In the drizzle, Yan Zong rode on a war horse in the army formation, looking coldly at the city wall in front of him without saying anything more, just gave the order.

"Is the visitor Yan Zong, the archer of Xiyue Kingdom?" Just as Yan Zong finished his words, the city gate of Liunan Kingdom suddenly opened slightly. Along with the woman's generous voice, a horse and a man holding a silver spear rushed out of the city.

"What a big tone you have! Who are you?" Arnold, who was still at the front, saw a female general in armor coming out of the city alone, which was quite provocative. He immediately drew out the sword hanging on the horse's back and pointed it at the other party, questioning.

"Hmph, you little brat, you are not qualified to fight me." On a rainy night, the female general on the white horse couldn't see Arnold's appearance clearly, but she snorted disdainfully based on his childish voice.

"You...how old are you to dare to call me a little brat? I'm going to beat you until you kneel down and beg for mercy!" Arnold became even more furious when he heard this. He couldn't help but clamp his legs against the horse's belly. When he was about to raise his sword and ride his horse to attack the female general under the city wall, Yan Zong, who arrived in time, pulled the reins.

"Your Highness, this woman came out of the city on purpose to provoke us. Let me fight her!" Arnold was very puzzled when he saw that the prince stopped him.

"You are no match for her, don't humiliate yourself." Yan Zong still held Arnold's reins tightly, staring at the heroic female general holding a silver spear on the warhorse in front of him with cold eagle eyes, and said in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, do you recognize her?" After hearing Yan Zong's words, Arnold was naturally unconvinced and asked with an angry look and a sneer on his face.

"You can't underestimate her. Although she is young, she is a powerful female general of Liunan Kingdom, Zheng Yunqi, also known as Lady Yun on White Horse and Silver Spear. She is also the daughter of General Zheng Yu. As the saying goes, a good father will have a good daughter. I heard that her spear skills are now as good as her father's." At this time, Yu Cheng also rode to Arnold's side and reminded him in a low voice.

Yu Cheng also practiced spear training. He had long heard of the heroic name of this young female general and had always wanted to learn from her the Zheng family spear skills. He did not expect to meet her tonight.

"It seems that you admire her very much." Arnold had naturally heard of Madam Yun from Liunan Kingdom, but he had never heard of her battle achievements so he didn't care. Seeing Yu Cheng praising her like this, Arnold raised his eyebrows slightly and muttered.

"A general will always admire his opponent." Seeing that Arnold was still full of disdain, Yu Cheng didn't care too much. He just sighed undisguisedly and asked Yan Zong for instructions: "Your Highness, let me meet her."

"Well, be careful." Yan Zong nodded and said with concern.

After Yu Cheng responded, he picked up a long spear handed to him by the soldier in front of his horse and rode forward. This was the contest he had longed for for a long time. He changed his usual relaxation and turned into a wild beast ready to charge and fight.

"Who are you?" When Yu Cheng came in front of the young female general Zheng Yunqi, she raised her chin slightly and asked arrogantly.

"My name is Yu Cheng, and I have come here specially to ask Madam Yun for advice on spearmanship." Yu Cheng inserted his spear into the ground, clasped his hands together and smiled at the young female general.

"I haven't heard of it. This general left the city tonight to target your clan king, and I will only fight against him." When Zheng Yunqi heard this, he snorted arrogantly and said loudly.

"That's not up to you, watch out!" Yu Cheng had finally gotten this opportunity from Her Highness, and was unwilling to miss it. As soon as the other party finished speaking, he raised his gun and rode towards her.

"You people in Xiyue country are really shameless and good at sneak attacks!" Zheng Yunqi was furious at the sudden attack from the enemy. She had no choice but to draw her gun to fight back, but she also started cursing.

"Madam Yun is also a military strategist. Don't you know how to attack the enemy when they are unprepared and take them by surprise?" Yu Cheng sneered disapprovingly.

At this time, the night rain gradually stopped, and the two guns, one silver and one black, kept making clanging sounds during the fight. The two men controlled the horses under them and started a fierce competition.

The evenly matched fight before their eyes fascinated the men from both armies, and Yan Zong was also observing Zheng Yunqi's spear skills quietly.

Compared to Yu Cheng's false moves to confuse the enemy, his agile and elegant moves, and his ever-changing moves, the Yun Lady Zheng Yunqi's spear skills were domineering, swift and accurate. Whether it was sweeping, slashing, stabbing, picking, hitting, or blocking, they were all powerful and worth watching. Even Yan Zong couldn't help but secretly admire the fact that this girl could practice spear skills so well at such a young age. It was really rare. If he could recruit the Zheng family father and daughter into Xiyue Country in the future, it would be a good thing. If not, it would be a pity.

"Madam Yun's spear skills are extremely domineering! It's a pity that she met Brother Yu Cheng. His elegant spear skills just happened to counter her fierceness, making her every move seem like stabbing into cotton. It must be an unpleasant feeling." After seeing Zheng Yunqi's spear skills, Arnold on the side had already replaced his disdain with appreciation and admiration. He also agreed with the prince's words that he was indeed not her opponent. At this moment, he was so serious that he was worried about Madam Yun.

After fighting with Yu Cheng for dozens of rounds, Zheng Yunqi was upset by the opponent's false and true moves, and was even more annoyed by her arrogant attitude of underestimating the enemy just now. She couldn't even defeat the unknown generals around Yan Zong, and she even overestimated her own abilities and wanted to challenge the archer of Xiyue Kingdom.

When masters fight, mentality is particularly important. Zheng Yunqi was already confused by her state of mind, so she was already flustered under Yu Cheng's attack, and finally had to use a surprise attack. Yu Cheng, who was originally proud of having the upper hand, was frightened by her sudden surprise and jumped off his horse to dodge. Zheng Yunqi took this opportunity to escape back to the city.

"After all, he is still young and lacks self-control." Yan Zong said to himself with regret as he looked at Zheng Yunqi's fleeing figure.

"Your Highness, how old is Madam Yun?" Arnold asked curiously.

"Twenty-eight years old."

When Arnold heard this, his face froze instantly. He was furious once again. Wasn't it humiliating for him to be called a little brat by a girl who was only two or three years older than him?
