Four days had passed!
Outside the city, amidst the seventy miles of wilderness, Lin Qingyue, covered in blood, stumbled out of the forest under the protection of Deputy General Zhou Chong and other guards. She fell to the ground, her short sword plunging into the snow. In a fit of rage, she pulled the arrow from her chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she cried out in despair, "Why?!"
Heaven, why did you not grant Ben Jiangjun this opportunity? They had only fifty thousand men; under siege, even the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry would be reduced to mere Heavy Infantry! Ben Jiangjun had advantages, why was it not enough?
Lin Qingyue howled to the heavens, her words filled with sorrow. The thirty thousand elite troops were now reduced to just over a thousand cavalry still following her. Deputy General Zhou Chong dared not even think back on what had transpired over these four days.
At first, they had breached the city. The Eight Thousand Heavy Infantry led the charge and broke through the defenses! Twenty Thousand Heavy Cavalry surged into the city, taking advantage of their surprise attack and wreaking havoc among the Xia Kingdom's forces, causing chaos and devastation.
Even the Ninth Princess's Maple Forest Iron Cavalry, caught off guard by the assault, had no time to mount their horses and could only don Heavy Armor to charge out as Heavy Infantry to meet them. The outcome was predictable; over ten thousand Maple Forest Iron Cavalry were nearly annihilated.
Just as victory seemed within reach for Lin Qingyue, the Ninth Princess herself donned armor and led the remaining thirty thousand elite troops into a bloody battle within the city! This fierce combat raged for two days and nights. Ultimately, it ended with Lin Qingyue's Twenty Thousand Heavy Cavalry almost completely wiped out.
Under the cover of six thousand remaining Heavy Infantry, they managed to escort Lin Qingyue and Zhou Chong out. It was merely a hair's breadth away from success! The Ninth Princess's line had almost been shattered by Ben Jiangjun!
Heaven, how unjust you are!
In the snow, Lin Qingyue howled at the sky, venting her grief and anger. Ben Jiangjun only wished for Jiang Han to have a change of heart! She merely wanted to capture the Ninth Princess and present her to Jiang Han so that he could unleash his fury upon her and perhaps win back his affection!
With such a method, they could exchange enough resources from Jiang Han! But why—why was it just a little too late?
The soldiers around her sighed deeply upon hearing her words. Everything they did was solely to win Jiang Han back. The Grand General was even willing to warm Jiang Han's bed; yet he still refused. They had no choice but to risk everything in an attempt to capture the Ninth Princess and offer her to Jiang Han. Who could have known they would face such a devastating defeat?
General!
Our elite force of Thirty Thousand Troops has nearly been wiped out! We have lost our gamble. Why not think of another way to win Jiang Han back?
Deputy General Zhou Chong spoke with a troubled expression.
Lin Qingyue felt despondent. What other methods could there be?
General, why not strip down and lie on Jiang Han's bed? Zhou Chong's suggestion was shocking.
What? The other commanders looked at Zhou Chong in disbelief.
Indeed, we all know that Jiang Han can provide ample supplies and weapons, which could alleviate our urgent situation. But to suggest that our commander, General Lin Qingyue, strip down and wait for Jiang Han's mercy? Is that not a bit too disgraceful?
Lin Qingyue felt a deep sorrow and murmured, if such a method were effective, I would have used it long ago.
What if we try it? What if it actually works? We have no choice but to rely on Jiang Han now!
The wealthy families at the border have been thoroughly searched; we have barely held on until now.
Zhou Chong could no longer bear it; the soldiers not only lacked pay and weapons but were also on the verge of starvation. Even if they were to become self-sufficient, they would have to wait until spring to plant crops.
I... I have already stripped down and stood before Jiang Han! Jiang Han showed no interest in me, which is why I am left with no choice.
Lin Qingyue said this with tears streaming down her cheeks.
She murmured again, if such a method could work, I would have used it long ago.
The generals were horrified; they had not expected Jiang Han to be so cold-hearted. Yet, no one dared to voice their objections against the General’s plan; after all, the soldiers needed food.
In the past, Jiang Han provided us with supplies and weapons without issue, but now it has been nearly a year without any support. We cannot hold out much longer.
Jiang Han! Ben Jiangjun will make you change your mind!
Zhou Chong, let’s go and summon the other seven Wan Dajun troops!
I refuse to believe that we cannot capture the Ninth Princess this way. We must act before the Xia Kingdom's border forces and Prime Minister Mu's negotiations arrive!
We will launch another attack. I will capture the Ninth Princess and make her warm Jiang Han's bed; if nothing else, she will serve as his slave!
Only then can we win Jiang Han back and exchange for the supplies we desperately need!
Lin Qingyue made up her mind once again, determined to go all the way down this path. The Ninth Princess had repeatedly clashed with Jiang Han. She couldn't believe that if she managed to capture the Ninth Princess, strip her bare, and present her to Jiang Han, he would remain unmoved. As long as Jiang Han showed any interest, it would be the first step for her to gradually ease their relationship in the future.
Inside the city tower, the Ninth Princess looked at the ground littered with corpses and couldn't help but shout in anger, "Jiang Han, just wait! Once I get my hands on the peacekeeping army, I will tear you to pieces! You bastard, sending an assassination envoy and now attacking this city! You despicable scoundrel!"
Lin Qingyue was no ordinary person; she was Jiang Han's former fiancée, akin to a previous wife. If his ex-wife attacked her, she would definitely hold Jiang Han accountable for it.
"Ninth Prince, we have the casualty report!" an aide reported. "The entire Maple Forest Iron Cavalry has been wiped out—ten thousand men lost! Of the remaining forty thousand Heavy Armor soldiers and cavalry, over thirty-two thousand have perished. Only eight thousand are still alive, and among them, four thousand are severely injured."
If they hadn't held their ground, the Ninth Princess would have already been captured by Lin Qingyue. As a seasoned general who had fought for many years, Lin Qingyue possessed formidable combat skills. Especially in a defensive battle like this one, the Maple Forest Iron Cavalry could not unleash their full potential. It was a night raid that allowed three Wan Dajun to replace four Wan Dajun of the Ninth Princess.
Upon hearing these numbers, the Ninth Princess let out a howl toward the heavens. "Jiang Han, I will make you pay for this! My elite forces have been decimated!"
