Chapter 476: Chapter 472: Golden Spear and Iron Horse_1

In March, when peaches and pears were blossoming beautifully, the Emperor unexpectedly issued an edict instructing Wei Zhan to go to Beijing, and later armed himself to lead the troops to the northern border to resist the bandits from Jin Country.

Yingbao left her daughter, Nuannuan, in the care of her mother-in-law and accompanied Wei Zhan to the frontier.

At this time, the iron cavalry of Jin Country was unstoppable, advancing southward, and captured several cities before they finally arrived beneath the walls of Yanzhou City.

Yingbao stood on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow. She slowly drew her bow fully, aiming her iron-fletched arrow at the chariot positioned in the center of the cavalry.

Xiao Mo and she looked at each other from a distance, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Yingbao squinted her eyes but didn’t release the arrow because the distance was too great. Her bow and arrow were mundane, and even if she infused her divine power, she wouldn’t be able to hit Xiao Mo.

She slowly lowered her bow and waited for the attack from Jin Country, or rather, for Xiao Mo to advance.

Suddenly, the horn of the Jin Ren resounded, and countless people rushed forward carrying their cloud ladders. Those carrying the ladders were all commoners from the Central Plains, who had been captured by Jin Country.

“Despicable! Shameless!” someone shouted angrily.

Yingbao just watched silently, commanding the archers to prepare.

One by one, the ladders were raised and placed against the city wall.

The archers did not move. They awaited her command.

Suddenly, the Jin Ren made their move. They spurred their horses forward, forcing the commoners to climb the ladders.

Yingbao waved her hand: “Fire!”

A rainfall of arrows descended, instantly killing a batch of Jin soldiers.

The remaining Jin soldiers had no choice but to retreat, yelling at the city wall.

The terrified surviving commoners at the foot of the city wall huddled together closely, too afraid to move.

For a moment, both sides were at a stalemate.

Only then did Yingbao command her men to use long-handled iron forks to topple over the ladders one by one.

Suddenly, she saw Xiao Mo’s chariot slowly emerging from the middle of the troops, standing at the front of the Jin soldiers. He quickly formed hand seals and a brilliant radiance flowed from his fingertips. Instantly, the sky changed color, and a huge lightning bolt appeared from the sky, striking the city gate tower.

With a crack, the city gate tower crumbled to dust, damaging parts of the city wall in the process.

The Jin soldiers cheered, shouting “Long live the Heavenly God” and “Long live the State Preceptor”.

As the second bolt of lightning was about to strike, the dark clouds dispersed quickly revealing the clear, blue sky.

Jin soldiers: …

Just as they were shocked, someone shouted, “Run…”

Before the words fell, several bolts of lightning roamed among the Jin iron cavalry, striking down like golden dragons.

In a matter of seconds, nearly half of the Jin iron cavalry fell.

The remaining cavalry and horses were thrown into chaos, trampling over each other. Their battle formation became a mess.

Seeing this, Wei Zhan was overjoyed and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened. He led more than a thousand cavalry out to fight the enemy.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with clashing of weapons and the flying of flesh and blood.

Xiao Mo was already on a hill somewhere, calmly observing the mortal warfare below him.

“Is this the result you wanted?” Yingbao, in her silver armor, slowly approached riding a black warhorse.

Xiao Mo looked at her indifferently and said, “They’re just a bunch of ants. Yingbao, come back with me. This place is not suitable for us to stay.”

Yingbao’s eyes were cold. “Xiao Mo, why do you want me to come back? Is it because your Xiao Family is running out of dragon blood to refine pills? Or do you want to take my divine pills again to help the one you love to advance?”

After she had integrated most of the Divine Pupils, her memories from the upper world slowly returned.

When she was young and ignorant, she was deceived onto the Fairy Mountain, where she entered the Wuji Sect and became Xiao Mo’s disciple.
