The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 386 Repelling the Enemy

Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing temporarily closed the treasure gate and left Cuici Cave.

She wanted to hand over the treasure key to Li Cunxu in person before leaving completely.

Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing galloped along, raising dust that turned into a cloud of smoke under her horse's hooves.

As they approached Jinyang City, they found it shrouded in thick smoke and fire.

Flames soared into the sky atop the city walls, and the shouts of battle were deafening.

Zhu Wen's Later Liang army surged toward the city wall like a tide, with countless siege ladders erected along the wall.

The soldiers climbed up like ants, trying to storm the city.

"Prince Jin!"

A soldier rushed forward, his expression flustered, and reported to the Prince of Jin.

"The enemy's offensive is too fierce. General Zhou Dewei is fighting desperately on the city wall, but he still can't stop them!"

Upon hearing this, Li Cunxu frowned, his gaze sharp as he looked down at the city of Jinyang.

Zhu Wen laughed wildly from below the city walls:

&34; Li Yazi, your Jin army is already at its last gasp, you should surrender as soon as possible! &34;

Li Cunxu sneered and responded loudly:

"Zhu Wen, you old scoundrel, you've plunged the world into chaos, and now you want to reap the benefits? Today is your end!"

Having said that, Li Cunxu shouted:

Issue the order: All soldiers, heed my command! Archers, prepare yourselves! Give them your full strength to hold off the Later Liang army! &34;

With Li Cunxu's order, the morale of the Jin army soared.

Arrows rained down on the city walls, forcing Zhu Wen's defenders to take temporary cover.

However, the Later Liang army was prepared and used sturdy shields to block the arrows.

The battle at the foot of Jinyang City intensified.

Zhu Wen stood on high ground, personally directing the attack; his voice boomed like thunder.

"Charge in! We will not rest until we have taken Jinyang City today!"

Li Cunxu, his battle robe already stained with blood, stood on the city wall, brandishing his long sword and fighting desperately against the enemy.

However, the number of Later Liang troops was simply too large.

Even though he had tried his best, he could not completely withstand the enemy's offensive.

As he watched the enemy gradually break through the defenses, his heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

Just at this critical moment, a thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing have arrived!

Qiu Ziyue spurred her horse and galloped forward, pointing her jade flute directly at the enemy troops, and shouted sharply:

"Zhu Wen, you old traitor, today is your end!"

Her appearance was like a ray of dawn breaking through the darkness, bringing new hope to the exhausted Jin army.

Qiu Ziyue and Zhao Wanqing charged into Zhu Wen's camp on horseback. They drew their long swords from their waists and slaughtered all the Liang soldiers.

In an instant, a narrow road was cleared.

Qiu Ziyue leaped onto the city wall and joined Li Cunxu.

Li Cunxu was extremely excited: "Your Highness, Ziyue, you've arrived."

Qiu Ziyue nodded.

"Brothers, for Jinyang, for our homeland, we swear to fight to the death!"

Qiu Ziyue's voice echoed across the battlefield, inspiring every soldier.

The battle situation gradually changed, the Jin army's morale soared, and they regained control of the city walls.

Zhu Wen was furious upon seeing this, but he had no choice but to retreat temporarily to preserve his strength and wait for the next opportunity to attack.

As night fell, the tense atmosphere in Jinyang City remained.

But Qiu Ziyue's arrival undoubtedly injected a powerful force into the city.

Qiu Ziyue stood on the city wall of Jinyang, dressed in a youthful outfit.

The red cloak fluttered in the wind, giving it a dashing and heroic appearance.

Her sharp gaze swept over the enemy troops below the city walls, and she gave the order:

"Prepare the cannons! Today we'll make that old scoundrel Zhu Wen suffer a lot!"

However, the soldiers looked troubled and stepped forward, saying:

"Your Highness, we are not very good at using these cannons. The brothers you taught us last time have all died on the battlefield."

Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly and said:

"No problem, get ready, I'll teach you."

She personally went to the artillery and patiently explained how to operate it, and the soldiers learned attentively.

In no time, the artillery was tested and adjusted.

At Qiu Ziyue's command, the cannons roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Zhu Wen's army was immediately routed and thrown into chaos.

"Zhu Wen, you old scoundrel, if you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and charge forward!"

Qiu Ziyue's voice was clear and sharp, echoing across the battlefield.

Zhu Wen gazed at the city tower and laughed:

"I have long heard that the Princess Consort of Jin swept through the Khitan army with her jade flute. I hope to witness it today and broaden my horizons."

Qiu Ziyue thought to herself:

Although I won the last battle against the Khitan, I am still recovering from internal injuries, so it is best to conserve my strength now.

So she answered proudly:

"My cannon alone is enough to annihilate your soul, why bother me with my own hands? Someone, bring me my submachine gun from the Princess's palace!"

It turns out that Qiu Ziyue had made a submachine gun earlier, but because she was in a hurry to find the treasure, she put the matter aside.

A moment later, the submachine gun was brought over and steadily placed on the city wall.

Looking at this novel weapon, Li Cunxu couldn't help but ask:

"Your Highness, is this any good?"

Qiu Ziyue answered confidently:

"You can take a look in a bit, can't you?"

Zhu Wen had never seen such a strange weapon before. Filled with doubt, he angrily shouted at Qiu Ziyue:

"Girl, how dare you disrespect this old man! Unbelievable! Soldiers, charge!"

Before he finished speaking, his soldiers swarmed forward.

Qiu Ziyue snorted coldly:

"You old fool who's never seen the world!"

She activated her submachine gun, and the rapid-fire shots instantly felled the enemy general and vanguard.

The enemy troops were thrown into chaos and retreated in disarray. Zhu Wen was terrified and hastily withdrew his troops.

Qiu Ziyue stood on the city wall, watching the enemy army flee in disarray, a victorious smile appearing on her lips.

This battle not only defended Jinyang City, but also taught Zhu Wen how formidable the Princess Consort of Jin was.

Li Cunxu was overjoyed and embraced Qiu Ziyue tightly:

"That's great, Twilight Sparkle. I missed you so much. I'm so glad you're back."

After saying that, Li Cunxu grabbed Qiu Ziyue's arms with both hands and looked her up and down:

"Twilight Sparkle, you've gotten thinner. Look at you, you never eat properly."

Immediately afterwards, Li Cunxu hugged Qiu Ziyue and spun her around, making Qiu Ziyue a little dizzy.

"Put me down quickly, Cunxu, put me down!"

The soldiers were thrilled to see this.

However, this scene was witnessed by Li Cunxu's rivals, who were standing on a hilltop not far from the city.

Not only Qi Yuxuan, but also Du Xiao, Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu.

Qi Yuxuan felt dizzy and a sense of loss washed over him.

"Ziyue, are you really heartbroken over me? Are you really going to throw yourself into Li Cunxu's arms?"

Du Xiao said with a strange look, "It seems that Sister Ziyue really did marry Prince Li Cunxu of Jin."

Leng Feng and Qiu Langyu said, "Zi Yue hasn't smiled in a long time. Look how happy she is."

Li Cunxu, having spun Qiu Ziyue around enough, let go of her and put her down.

"Your Highness, how about we have a good drink with the soldiers tonight?"

Qiu Ziyue then took out the dragonfly key from her pocket and said:

“Cunxu, here you go. We’ve found the treasure. You can send someone to retrieve it now. My mission is almost complete, and I must take my leave.”

"What did you say, Twilight Sparkle? You're leaving again? No way! You promised me you'd stay with me for three years, and that promise hasn't been fulfilled yet."

Li Cunxu said anxiously.

“But there’s no point in me staying any longer, Cunxu, I’m leaving,” Qiu Ziyue said.

“How about this, Ziyue, you stay a few more days, okay? I’ll definitely send you back,” Li Cunxu said.
