The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1771

Chapter 1771: 866 Xuanyuan’s Wrath! (2nd update)

Gu Jiao tightened the reins: "We can’t go to the village."

The Jin soldiers are ruthless, they’ll do anything!

Tang Yueshan said, "We can’t just keep going forward either. If we keep going, we’ll end up back in Pu City! At that point, we’ll be attacked from both front and back, and we’ll be finished!"

Gu Jiao understood this reasoning too; the current situation was very unfavorable for the three of them.

There were nearly a thousand lives in the tunnel waiting for reinforcements; every second delayed added more danger.

They had worked so hard to get here, were they really going to be forced back by these ten thousand Jin troops?

Gu Jiao pulled the reins tighter: "We can’t move forward anymore!"

There’s no way out now.

Their horses had been through a long day’s journey and were utterly exhausted; it was only a matter of time before the well-rested Jin cavalry caught up.

The three of them stopped their warhorses.

The urgent sound of pounding hooves came from the front and side; the Jin forces had split into two groups, blocking both their front and rear escape routes.

They were left with only one choice— 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Fight their way out!

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly; any perfect plan would run into unforeseen circumstances, and this was one of those times.

The imperial forces had moved out in full strength, and there were no additional troops in the city; they could only rely on themselves!

But could three people really fight their way through ten thousand troops?

Tang Yueshan had joined the military camp at twelve and had fought countless battles in his lifetime, but he had never faced such a tough situation. This wasn’t two thousand against twenty thousand; it was three against ten thousand.

Gu Jiao gripped her Red-Tasseled Spear: "We don’t need to annihilate them, we just need to break through. Once we enter the city, they can’t do anything to us."

Though she said that, this was bound to be a brutal battle!

The sound of hooves drew nearer, suffused with an endless killing intent. The sun on the horizon dipped into the clouds, leaving only the grayish-blue sky overhead.

Xuanyuan Qi looked at the charging Jin cavalry and the overwhelming black mass of Jin infantry behind and rode a few steps forward, putting himself in front of Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was used to being at the forefront, but when someone suddenly took this extremely dangerous position, she was slightly stunned.

Xuanyuan Qi drew the long sword from his waist, its three-foot blade reflected a cold light in the twilight, like a sea-dragon eager to devour the enemies’ flesh and bones.
