Dozens of members of the Red Lotus Group desperately pressed against the city wall. Because of the commotion caused by the axe, the skin of the wall and sand fell from above their heads.
Now that the weather was freezing, they couldn't exert their full strength at all. They pressed against the city wall with both hands, feeling as if they were touching a large block of ice.
"Hold on a little longer, we can't let the thieves outside rush in …"
As soon as the voice of the small leader fell, dozens of people felt an unparalleled force coming from the city gate. It was as if a mountain was collapsing and pressing down on them.
In the next moment, the city gate, which already had huge cracks on it, suddenly opened wide with a bang.
The people behind the city gate squeezed together, almost having the illusion that their intestines had been squeezed out of their throats. One by one, they fell down.
Before they could react, a snow-white figure galloped past like lightning, accompanied by the clattering of hooves.
A gust of wind blew past.
With a slash of the long axe, a head flew up, leaving behind a corpse whose body temperature had not yet dropped.
As Jiang Pengji rushed into the city gate, the soldiers behind her were greatly encouraged. Their morale rose again and again, and their battle cries shook the heavens.
"Kill!"
Dian Yan didn't have the two long axes that he carried with him, so he randomly found a spear to replace them. He led the soldiers and rushed into the city wall with Jiang Pengji.
Yang Si felt as if he had just taken the steepest roller coaster and was forced to bungee jump. His heart was thumping violently.
When he heard the soldiers beside him ask him if they should coordinate with the attack, Yang Si trembled violently and his mind became clear.
"Charge! Coordinate with the lord!"
Yang Si excitedly pulled out the scholar's sword that was used as a decoration at his waist. He was so excited that he almost bit his tongue.
The city gate had been breached. The members of the Red Lotus Group who were resisting at the city gate were all killed by Dian Yan, who rushed in after them.
The reinforcements who rushed over were no match for them at all. They were completely crushed almost immediately. At one point, there was only the sound of fighting and the scene of blood splattering. Jiang Pengji rode on the back of the little white horse. Not only was she fast, but the long axe in her hand was like the Soul Hook Axe in the hands of the King of Hell. With one swing of the axe, very few people died with a whole corpse. Even if they didn't die, Little White would follow up with a hoof and crush their sternum.
Those who died on the spot were too numerous to count.
Little White rarely cooperated with Jiang Pengji, but it was full of intelligence. Its performance was not any weaker than White's. It was not the slightest bit timid and shy like it usually was. It stepped on people cleanly and efficiently. If someone tried to raise their hand to stop it, it would crush their arm and sternum together.
The soldiers of the Red Lotus Group in Jinmen County were utterly defeated. They fled in all directions like headless flies.
Some people had even just gotten out of bed, their eyes wide open. They couldn't believe that Jinmen County had changed hands so easily.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Someone asked doubtfully. After the military forces in Jinmen County had been transferred away, the number of people had decreased by a lot. Now that it was winter, the people were unwilling to go out, so the streets were quiet. Now that it had suddenly become lively, the bustling noise was astonishing.
However, when he listened carefully, he realized that something was wrong. How was that the sound of excitement and jubilation?
It was clearly the sound of shouting to kill, beating, and howling like wolves.
Is there a war outside?
"Can't you let people sleep? What's with all the noise!"
Some people with bad tempers began to roar at the source of the noise. Seeing that it was not working, they went straight back to the house with their kitchen knives in an attempt to intimidate the people.
However, before they could step out of the fence, a man covered in blood rushed in from the corner of the street and fell to the ground, forming a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, the man was so scared that his legs turned to jelly. He fell to the ground, trembling, then turned around and crawled back into the house.
It was so scary!
They attacked all the way to the center of Jinmen County with irresistible force. Everywhere they passed, there was almost no resistance.
The soldiers on Jiang Pengji's side were all well-trained. They trained continuously throughout the year. Large-scale training was concentrated in midsummer and cold winter.
They wore the same armor and held standard weapons. They cooperated with each other in combat, forming groups of three to five people.
On the other hand, the Red Lotus Group was full of people dressed in rags. Just the weather alone could defeat them, let alone the others.
It was difficult for the old, weak, sick, and disabled to move. How could they pick up weapons and fight against the enemy?
The other members of the Red Lotus Group, who had rushed over after hearing the noise, were so scared that their legs turned to jelly. They could not summon the slightest will to fight. They laid down their weapons and surrendered, their faces ashen.
Many people did not even know that Jinmen County had changed hands overnight.
If the streets had not been cleaned of blood and broken limbs, who would have thought that a siege had broken out in the seemingly peaceful Jinmen County not long ago? Yang Si could not think of another word to describe this battle other than fast …
The soldiers strangled the enemy and defeated the momentum of the Red Lotus Group's garrison, making them unable to summon the will to fight. Then, they shouted that those who surrendered would not be killed.
Jiang Pengji was a warlike person, but she was not a murderous person.
Enemies who no longer had the will to fight were not worth her killing at all.
She shook off the blood and minced meat on the axe and turned over to dismount.
"Little White, well done. I'll get someone to prepare the best food for you when we get back."
Jiang Pengji stroked Little White's mane. It snorted and rubbed against her palm, acting like a spoiled child in a docile manner.
Because of Jiang Pengji's violent opening of the way, Little White's snow-white fur had been dyed scarlet, which added a bit of heroic spirit.
Yang Si laid out the layout and commanded. Dian Yan cleaned up the stubborn enemies and captives. Jiang Pengji also charged in the middle of the Vanguard Battalion.
When the sun rose above their heads, it was already noon.
Jiang Pengji leaned against Little White's side. She raised her hand and twisted the sleeves and hem of her clothes under her armor.
Thick blood was squeezed out and dripped to the ground.
It was clearly a bloody, terrifying, and horrifying scene, but she did it very naturally, as if she was wringing rainwater instead of human blood.
"My lord!"
A call came from afar. Jiang Pengji looked up and saw Yang Si stagger and fall off the back of the date red horse.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the scholar's sword at Yang Si's waist. It was originally only used for decoration, a good-looking ornament, but at that moment, it was permeated with the smell of blood. It was obvious that it had also seen blood. When she looked at Yang Si's face, which contained hidden excitement, her expression softened a little.
"Are you okay? The battlefield is too chaotic. How dare you run around? "
Yang Si's job was mental work. The fighting and killing could be left to the martial arts.
If anything happened to Yang Si, the team, which was already short of people, would be even more lacking.
Jinmen District had already been conquered. There would be many things to be busy with in the future. They could not afford to lose manpower at this time.
Yang Si did not know Jiang Pengji's thoughts. He thought that she was concerned about him, and his heart suddenly warmed up.
Just now, he called her "Lord" willingly.
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. I'm fine."
Other than the pain in his thighs from riding the horse, he was fine.
He had also experienced the addiction of charging and breaking through enemy lines. The gentleman's martial arts that he had learned in the past were not useless.
Jiang Pengji's voice was calm. "Has the battlefield been cleaned up? How many wounded are there? How many captives? Did anyone take the opportunity to cause trouble? "
