Chapter 1030 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (one hundred and fifty-two)
The funny thing is that Guo Xuezhen didn't hear Zhao Lan's threat.
When he gave the order to attack, the war drums beat "boom boom", the trumpets blew "wooo wooo", the soldiers' shouts shook the earth, and the shouts of "Kill" came one after another, mixed with the neighing of war horses.
Catapults and fireballs also attacked the city walls from a distance.
Weapons clashed with clangs and swooshes, spears pierced shields, swords clashed, sparks flew, and chariots rolled and creaked as they rolled across the earth.
Zhao Lan shouted loudly, but his voice was drowned out by the noise.
Ding Yangshu had already led his men out of the city to meet the enemy, and was now engaged in combat with Guo Xuezhen. The two veterans were evenly matched. Seeing this, Zhao Lan pounded his fist on the hard stone and cursed, "Guo Xuezhen, you old bastard from humble beginnings, I'm going to kill you one day."
"My lord, be careful!"
After dodging the projected fireball, Zhao Lan picked up his bow and arrow and started shooting. Only by shooting and killing the enemy could he vent his anger.
Half an hour later, his deputy general shouted:
"Your Majesty, this is bad. General Ding has been surrounded by Guo's army."
Zhao Lan took a closer look and found that it was true. His father-in-law had been surrounded by Guo Jun, with Guo Jun surrounding him from all sides!
Ding Yangshu cannot die at this time. If Ding Yangshu dies, his control over Fengli County will be greatly weakened.
Zhao Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Come quickly, follow me out of the city to rescue those people."
"Your Highness, the Guo army is numerous and powerful. I'm afraid..." the deputy general said hesitantly. How could Zhao Lan not know? But he had to save them!
"Hurry and open the city gates. Come with me out of the city to rescue General Ding."
Guo Xuezhen watched as a group of soldiers rushed out of the wide-open city gate, led by Zhao Lan.
He laughed heartily, dropped the long sword in his hand, drew the big knife on his back, and shouted at Ding Yangshu: "Old thief Ding, today is the day you die! Give me your life!"
Ding Yangshu was already out of breath. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, clamped his horse's back, and resisted Guo Xuezhen's killing move.
The blade cut across his neck like lightning, blood gushed out, and his head flew up in an instant and fell into the dust.
A veteran and once loyal general ended up losing his head.
There was dead silence on the battlefield. The enemy soldiers watched in horror as their leader was beheaded, and their morale collapsed instantly.
Guo Xuezhen held Ding Yangshu's head high and shouted loudly: "Ding Yangshu is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!" His voice echoed on the battlefield like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.
Guo's army cheered and their morale was boosted. They rushed towards the rebels, while the rebels fell into chaos and began to collapse.
Zhao Lan's eyes were bloodshot and he looked furious. How dare Guo Xuezhen, this old bastard!
He roared and rushed towards Guo Xuezhen, waving his sword, but Guo Xuezhen was no match for him.
In terms of close combat, Zhao Lan couldn't even beat Ding Yangshu, so how could he be better than his father-in-law?
In the melee, Zhao Lan was struck on the shoulder by Guo Xuezhen, causing him to fall from his horse. Only after his trusted followers fought to the death to protect him did he escape.
The remaining troops of Zhao Lan fled back to the city in disgrace.
When Guo Xuezhen saw Zhao Lan escape, he felt regretful, but he also understood that after this severe blow, Zhao Lan was no longer a threat.
He ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and camped five miles outside the city. At the same time, he sent Ding Yangshu's head to the capital at full speed.
However, Guo Xuezhen's eldest son, Guo Changheng, was wandering outside his father's tent with a hesitant look on his face.
He always felt that during the charge, Zhao Lan on the city wall seemed to have mentioned his younger sister, and that another girl was being escorted to the city gate.
Could it be that the despicable Zhao Lan had really found his long-missing younger sister, Guo Youbai? But in this situation, his father couldn't be soft-hearted.
But my little sister’s life is also important!
It took him a while to make up his mind and walk into the tent.
"Father, I have something important to tell you. It concerns my younger sister."
Guo Xuezhen looked up in surprise and excitement.
"What did you say? Did I hear correctly?"
☆Of course, the good news must be reported to His Majesty as quickly as possible.
A few days later, Ding Yangshu's head arrived in front of the emperor's desk.
When the emperor learned of the great victory Guo Xuezhen had achieved in Fengli County, he felt a little relieved. He was indeed the veteran whom he once respected most.
Fortunately, Guo Xuezhen's daughter disappeared, otherwise if the Guo family had a prince's wife, he would no longer trust Guo Xuezhen so much.
He was also glad that he did not let the seventh son marry the daughter of the Song family. Otherwise, with the help of Prime Minister Song, the seventh son's ambition would be nurtured and threaten him as the emperor.
The emperor received the good news and asked the chief steward He Shi beside him, "How is the war going in Haicheng County?"
