Li Cunxiao gave the order.
The Black Armored Cavalry nocked their arrows and rained down arrows.
The Jiangdong Army was caught off guard. The soldiers at the front were hit by the arrows.
"Raise your shields! Raise your shields!"
Cheng Pu yelled. The soldiers in front of him raised their shields and advanced slowly.
Han Dang carefully observed the changes in the battle from behind.
What he found strange was that the archers were not as strong as before.
"Is this really the secret technique Zhang Jiao used?"
Han Dang frowned. His expression was ugly.
However, he quickly rejected this idea.
Everyone knew that Zhang Jiao's death and the disappearance of the Taiping Technique were common knowledge.
Some said that the Nanhua Elder Deity took the Taiping Technique.
Some said that the Taiping Technique was destroyed.
However, no one believed that the Taiping Technique was stolen.
At the very least, Han Dang had never seen anyone else who could use the Taiping Technique like Zhang Jiao.
Moreover, the timing did not match.
Not to mention how late Bai Feng came out of seclusion, his age was already too late for the Yellow Turban Uprising.
More importantly, if Bai Feng really did study the Taiping Technique, he should have used it at the beginning.
Why would he wait until now to use it?
Han Dang could not help but be puzzled by the various inconsistencies.
At this moment, the Jiangdong Army arrived at the city walls.
Countless Jiangdong warriors carried battering rams and attacked the gate of Wu County over and over again.
Han Dang carefully observed Li Cunxiao's reaction when he saw that the city gates were about to fall.
However, Li Cunxiao's expression was still calm.
This made Han Dang suspect that there might be an ambush in the city.
Han Dang had seen the strength of the Black Armored Cavalry, the Eighteen Steeds of Yanyun, and Li Cunxiao.
Just as the city gates were about to fall.
Suddenly, the sky above Wu County was covered in dark clouds.
The originally scorching sun instantly became extremely cool and refreshing.
The dark clouds gave off a strange feeling.
"Wait!"
Han Dang suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
But before he could say anything, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from the dark clouds.
This bolt of lightning was aimed at the Jiangdong warriors who were attacking the city below!
Before they could react, they were struck by the heavenly lightning, and their bodies turned into charcoal.
The entire wooden battering ram caught fire in an instant and was badly damaged.
But this was not the end.
Following which, the second bolt of lightning struck the center of the Jiangdong army.
"Retreat, retreat!"
Han Dang shouted at the top of his lungs, as he quickly organized the rest of the Jiangdong Army to retreat.
In this kind of weather, with the help of the heavenly lightning, most of the Jiangdong Army would be struck down before they could even take down the city!
Moreover, Han Dang completely remembered.
This kind of heavenly thunder, this kind of sudden situation.
It was exactly the same as the scene when he followed Sun Jian to suppress Zhang Jiao!
No …
It was even worse than back then!
Just as Han Dang looked towards the top of the city wall again.
A beautiful woman in a yellow robe was clenching her fists and praying to the sky!
Then, another bolt of lightning struck down.
"This woman is …"
Before Han Dang could react, he was dragged away by Cheng Pu who had rushed back.
"Yigong, let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Dang was immediately pulled off his horse.
As for that Heavenly Lightning, it struck straight towards the horse that Han Dang was riding.
Before the horse could even cry out in pain, it was instantly turned into charcoal.
Han Dang immediately felt a lingering fear.
This woman's target was him!
The Jiangdong army dispersed like the tide. Only then did Zhang Ning slowly retract her hand.
The dark clouds in the sky also slowly dispersed like the Jiangdong army.
The sun shone brightly, and the weather became hot again.
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao hurriedly cupped his hands at Zhang Ning and said:
"Thank you for your help, Miss!"
Li Cunxiao was very curious as to how such a girl could summon the heavenly lightning.
But he knew in his heart that this was not something he should ask.
But before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ning suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her hand clutched her chest, and her face became extremely pale.
"This is …"
Seeing this, Li Cunxiao hurriedly ordered:
"Quickly call the military doctor!"
"There's no need."
At this moment, Bai Feng's voice suddenly sounded.
Then, Bai Feng opened his palm and continued to absorb the black energy from Zhang Ning's body.
Zhang Ning's originally pained face immediately regained its color.
If not for the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, Li Cunxiao would have thought that he was hallucinating.
"Sir!"
Li Cunxiao hurriedly bowed to Bai Feng.
Bai Feng nodded slightly, then retracted his hand and frowned:
"You haven't recovered from your internal injuries. Why did you use the Heaven Scroll again?"
"If you continue to use it so frequently, your internal organs will be damaged by the vibrations!"
Zhang Ning smiled bitterly:
"Since you have the ability to heal my injuries, I naturally have to repay you."
"If I don't help now, Wu County will be lost."
Bai Feng shook his head slightly, then looked below the city gate.
There were several groups of soldiers hiding behind the city gate!
If the city gate was breached, the Jiangdong soldiers would definitely be ambushed, and at least half of them would be killed!
Moreover, Bai Feng had arranged for the civilians of Wu County behind them.
If they couldn't stop the Jiangdong Army, Bai Feng would continue to use the method he used to deal with Liu Bei in Xuchang.
Most of the people in Wu County were nobles from Jiangdong. If these people were used as hostages, Han Dang wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"So you already had this planned."
Zhang Ning frowned slightly.
Bai Feng waved his hand:
"Cunxiao, continue to guard."
"You, come with me."
Then, Bai Feng slowly walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back.
Speaking of which, Bai Feng had just woken up, and he didn't expect to see dark clouds gathering.
How could Bai Feng, who had seen Zhang Ning in action, not think of it?
If Bai Feng had not arrived in time, it was extremely likely that Zhang Ning would have lost his life this time.
A single bolt of lightning would have severely injured Zhang Ning's body.
Just now, Zhang Ning had used nearly ten bolts of lightning in a row to force the Jiangdong Army to retreat.
Bai Feng couldn't help but frown when he saw the dark clouds thickening again.
"System, will the same happen if I use the Heavenly Scroll?"
Bai Feng couldn't help but speak to the system with a thought.
"Ding! A reminder to the host. Zhang Ning is a mortal. Using a heaven-defying technique like the Taiping Technique will harm her body."
"The host's body has been strengthened. Please don't doubt the System."
"Also, the System's reward for the Taiping Technique is very orthodox. It's not half a scroll that this woman has cultivated."
"Therefore, when the host uses the Taiping Technique, it will only consume physical strength and not lifespan."
Hearing the System's reply, Bai Feng was stunned.
Half a scroll?
Could it be that the Taiping Technique in Zhang Ning's hands wasn't complete?!
If that was the case, according to the System, the Taiping Technique in his hands was orthodox?!
