The Destiny of Going to Hell

Chapter 261 Do You Know Sheng Molan 17

After passing the bright road, everything became smooth. Molan was dressed in a bright red dress and shiny and solid armor, looking heroic.

She was carefully instructing Zhao Yunchuan about many matters in the rear. After everything was ready, the army set out in full force.

And in a place where the two of them had never expected, Qi Heng quietly transformed himself into a small soldier and mixed into the army to go into battle together.

When Princess Pingning learned that Qi Heng was missing, she was extremely anxious and sent people to look for him everywhere, almost going crazy.

Batches of servants in the mansion were beaten and killed, but there was still no trace of Qi Heng. Princess Pingning could only wait for news in anxiety and worry.

Molan rode on a tall warhorse, looking ahead with a determined look.

At this moment, the only thing in her heart was the ambition to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

However, she didn't know that in this huge army, there was someone who was silently watching her.

Qi Heng looked at Molan from afar, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He used to look down on Molan, but later he was attracted to her.

He knew he shouldn't have come, but he couldn't control his concern for Molan.

He just wanted to be by her side, even if he could just watch her from a distance, it would make him feel at ease.

Qi Heng is always like this, only caring about himself and completely ignoring others.

Now it is a matter of family and country, but in his heart there is only love and unrequited love.

When the army reached Yingzhou, the closest place to the Song Dynasty, the moment the Liao soldiers on the city wall saw the Song army, panic instantly spread.

After careful discussion with the generals, Molan resolutely decided to use siege ladders.

Seeing this, the Liao soldiers guarding the city hurriedly fired rockets, but the rockets did not do much damage to the ladders.

But there were giant crossbows on the city walls, and huge arrows shot down like meteors, piercing the ladders in an instant, and the soldiers had to dodge in panic.

But even so, some ladders still successfully climbed onto the city wall.

But what greeted them was stones and boiling oil poured down like a rainstorm. Countless people who climbed up the stairs let out miserable wails and then fell down.

War is always brutal, whether it is offense or defense.

The defenders seem to be under greater pressure.

As the Crown Princess, Molan rushed to the front without fear.

Her figure, like a dazzling light, gave great psychological comfort to her generals and soldiers.

They harbored hatred for the Liao soldiers and were determined to recover their homeland.

These people are not afraid of death at all. Even if their companions fall one after another, they still ignore them and continue to rush forward bravely.

Such bravery and fearlessness naturally made the Liao soldiers defending the city panic.

Are these Song soldiers still human? How can they be so fearless and fearless?

It was because of this moment of hesitation that Molan was the first to reach the top, raised his sword and chopped off the head of the Liao soldier guarding the city.

All of a sudden, the morale of the Song soldiers was greatly boosted and they all climbed to the top.

The Liao soldiers guarding the city could not help but retreat again and again, but the next moment they were slapped hard by the general next to them.

"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The Liao army's chief general, Xiao Talina, arrived in a majestic manner. The Liao soldiers defending the city immediately felt confident, but Xiao Talina's face was still tense.

What did he see just now? Just one person, a woman at that, could actually scare them into such a cowardly state.

Soon, Xiao Talina came into confrontation with Molan.

In Molan's hand was a large knife that shone with cold light, and every strike of the knife was aimed at the fatal point.

Xiao Talina resisted with all his might, but gradually he could not hold on any longer. Molan's eyes were sharp, his movements were decisive, and the flashing of his sword was accompanied by an indomitable momentum.

Xiao Talina was defeated step by step, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Molan seized the opportunity and swung his sword fiercely, and Xiao Talina's head was finally chopped off.

"The general defending the city is dead. You can surrender your weapons without killing him!"

Molan held Xiao Talina's head high, her voice high and firm.

The surrounding Liao soldiers stopped resisting.

The generals are all dead, what's the point of them resisting?

The next step was to open the city gates. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty all had tears in their eyes. This was their land, and they actually got it back in their lifetime!

The news of the recovery of Yingzhou spread back to the Song Dynasty as fast as wings.

For a moment, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people were immersed in joy.

In the streets and alleys of Bianjing, people ran around telling each other the news, their faces filled with irrepressible joy.

In the teahouse, people sat together, excitedly talking about this great news.

An old man stroked his beard, tears glistening in his eyes.

"We have finally got a piece of our Song territory back. Back then, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were ceded away, which was a pain in the hearts of our people. Now, the Crown Princess has led the soldiers to recapture Yingzhou, which is truly a great joyous event."

The young man next to him was also very excited.

"Yes, I heard that the Crown Princess was extremely brave on the battlefield and defeated the Liao soldiers. It is a blessing for the country and the people that our Song Dynasty has such a heroine."

At the market, vendors hung up red lanterns to celebrate.

An old lady selling cakes was distributing cakes to passers-by for free, and said with a smile, "This is a happy event for our Song Dynasty, and everyone should share in the joy."

The pedestrians took the pastries, thanked the customers repeatedly, and their faces were full of smiles.

There were also some children running and playing on the streets, shouting, "We have recaptured Yingzhou! We have recaptured Yingzhou!"

The nobles also held a banquet in the mansion to celebrate.

They congratulated each other and discussed the great significance of this victory to the Song Dynasty.

An official said with emotion, "The Crown Princess's move has greatly boosted the prestige of our Song Dynasty. From now on, those Liao soldiers will never dare to look down on our Song Dynasty again."

Another official nodded in agreement: "This victory will surely inspire more soldiers to fight bravely to defend the country."

In the countryside, farmers put down their farm work and gathered at the entrance of the village.

They beat drums and gongs to celebrate this hard-earned victory.

An old farmer said excitedly, "We, the common people who farm the land, look forward to peace in the country and the integrity of the territory. Now that Yingzhou has been recovered, our lives will get better and better."

Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with longing for the future.

The entire Song Dynasty was immersed in the joy of recovering Yingzhou.

People seemed to see the prosperous future of the country, and their hearts were filled with hope and confidence.

In the dim and damp laundry room in the palace, Nanny Kong was rubbing the clothes in her hands vigorously. Her rough hands were covered with cracks from long-term labor.

When the news of the recovery of Yingzhou came, it was like a thunderclap exploding in her ears. She stood there in a daze, unable to move for a long time.

"Molan recaptured Yingzhou?"

She muttered to herself, her heart filled with shock and disbelief.

The poem that Molan had respectfully given her to teach her emerged involuntarily in her mind:

The country is full of rats, they have been complaining for years.

Is the rise and fall in the hands of God? Wine and meat by the pond and forest.

Soldiers shed blood in hundreds of states, beauties wept in the flames of war.

When will we work together to make plans and have handsome faces to cover half the sky?

Nanny Kong's hands began to tremble slightly, and regret surged into her heart like a tide.

She recalled all the difficulties she had faced towards Molan, her harsh words and critical looks.

Why should I make things difficult for such a brave and fearless person who cares about the world?

Nanny Kong knew very well that because of Molan, the status of women would never be as low as it is now.

Molan used her courage and wisdom to open up a new path for women.

It proved to the world that women were no less capable than men, whether in the imperial examinations or on the battlefield.

Nanny Kong lowered her head and tears fell into the washtub.

Molan is, after all, a dragon trapped in shallow water that soars into the sky.
