Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180: Chapter 179: A Fight to the Death_1

Scanning the land, except for General Bai Qijing of the Bai family army, no one could train such formidable warriors!

On the east side of the valley, the thousand soldiers Bai Qingyan brought were all spirited, fighting desperately against the numerous Xiliang soldiers with broken morale.

“Bai Jinzhi! Sound the bone whistle to relay the order… Instruct General Cheng Yuanzhi to lead the Bai family army and the Jin army to quickly retreat outside the valley, hold the entrance of Wudan River in Wengshan Canyon, and wait to intercept the fleeing Xiliang soldiers!”

“Yes!” Bai Jinzhi, his blood boiling, dared not delay, immediately blew the whistle to relay the order.

Upon hearing the bone whistle command inside the valley, the relay officer dashed straight to General Cheng Yuanzhi, who was fiercely battling the Xiliang army with a large blade, and shouted, “General, the bone whistle relayed the order, commanding you to lead the Bai family army and Jin soldiers to quickly retreat outside the valley, hold the entrance of Wudan River in Wengshan Canyon, and wait to intercept the fleeing Xiliang army!”

Cheng Yuanzhi had no doubt about Xiao Bai’s command, raising his large blade: “Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

“Retreat!”

The Bai family army and Jin soldiers in the valley immediately turned and charged towards the outside of the valley, leaving the Xiliang soldiers, who were still fighting desperately with large blades and spears, puzzled.

“This is bad!” Yun Poxing was the first to react, realizing that on the east side of the canyon, there were logs, stones, and fire oil the Xiliang army had transported up there yesterday. That Xiao Bai planned to use these against their Xiliang army!

With horror on his face, Yun Poxing looked around. He was currently in the center of the protective circle of the Xiliang army, with Wengshan and the exit of Jiuqu Peak behind him. The path was narrow, and with most of the Xiliang forces blocking his rear, he was afraid he would be buried in flames before making it through!

Meanwhile, the path towards the entrance of Wudan River in Wengshan Canyon grew wider; only there could he find a way out, but the Bai family army and ten thousand Jin soldiers were stationed there!

Although there was danger ahead and behind, Yun Poxing had no time to hesitate.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Retreat! Retreat towards the entrance of Wudan River Canyon!”

The Xiliang forces inside the valley were too numerous. From Yun Poxing’s order reaching the frontmost soldiers, it was exceedingly difficult to start retreating!

Seeing the Xiliang troops below beginning to relay the retreat order, Bai Qingyan shouted, “Relay the order! Cut the blocking wood ropes, blocking stone nets, pour fire oil, prepare fire! Bai Jinzhi, stay close to Xiao Ruohai!”

After giving the order, Bai Qingyan turned her horse and charged towards the Wudan River along the edge of the canyon cliff, grabbing a torch from a prepared Jin soldier as she sped by.

The Huying Camp elite soldiers who had just descended from the mountain received the order. They immediately cut the blocking wood ropes and blocking stone nets, hurling fire oil into the valley.

Screams and wails filled the deep valley.

The Xiliang soldiers protecting Yun Poxing quickly raised their shields, forming a protective circle around him.

Yun Poxing smelled the fire oil and cursed, “Damn it! Hurry! Break through! Break through!”

Previously protected in the center by the Xiliang iron wall, Yun Poxing now could barely move. The Jin army had used fire oil, and if delayed further, he would perish in the fire!
