Chapter 716 Rescue

In the midst of the battle, the soldiers were so focused on fighting that no one heard Wang Wenzhou's orders.

Seeing that more cavalry had come to relieve the siege, Shen He quickly ordered the war dog squad to attack. The dogs were easy to gather, and several whistles surrounded their trainers.

"Charge!" the animal trainer commanded, and the dogs roared as they charged toward the thousand cavalrymen led by Chen Yuanyuan.

Dog Lord Ru Ru's mouth was full of blood, and his expression was ferocious. He had just killed several cavalrymen and was now in a state of rage. Suddenly, he barked a few times, then wagged his tail happily and ran excitedly towards Chen Yuanyuan.

"Woof woof woof..." Dog Lord Ru Ru's eyes were filled with tears. It had been so long since he had seen his mistress. How had she been lately, mistress?

On the city wall, Yang Changsi's face was pale. He had never expected that Wang Wenzhou's men were so powerful, managing to surround Wu Sangui's troops with infantry against cavalry. Although Wu Sangui's rear guard had rushed to relieve the siege, these mad dogs raised by the mad dog had already charged forward. Yang Changsi estimated that these reinforcements would soon suffer the same fate.

However, to Yang Changsi's surprise, after the war dog brigade made contact with Chen Yuanyuan's cavalry, the dogs not only did not attack, but under the leadership of Dog Master Ru Ru and Dog Master Xiao Lan Lan, they surrounded the female knight in charge, subtly protecting her, and continued to charge.

"Ah?" Yang Changsi asked in surprise, "Who is this person?"

Wang Qiang smiled slightly and said, "She is Chen Yuanyuan, Wang Wenzhou's concubine."

Just then, Li Hechen also spotted the cavalry coming to the rescue. He was about to order his men to snipe them when he looked up and saw that the one charging at the front was Lady Chen Yuanyuan.

Li Hechen was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do. He turned around and looked at Wang Wenzhou, only to see Wang Wenzhou rushing towards him, shouting repeatedly, "Listen up, all of you! Don't you dare hurt my Yuanyuan!"

Li Hechen smiled bitterly to himself. "My lord, this is a battlefield where swords have no eyes. If you don't allow us to harm Lady Chen Yuanyuan, how can we fight this battle?"

Li Hechen dared not disobey Wang Wenzhou's order and immediately shouted, "Stop! No sniping the enemy reinforcements!"

On the city wall, Yang Changsi was dumbfounded. He had thought that Wu Sangui was already surrounded and about to be annihilated. He also thought that the reinforcements that came to his rescue would be like moths to a flame, perishing in the inferno.

However, no one dared to stop the reinforcements led by Chen Yuanyuan, and they quickly rushed into the encirclement.

Chen Yuanyuan pulled on the reins, stopped her horse, and shouted, "General Wu, mount your horse quickly and follow me to break through the encirclement!"

Wu Sangui was deeply moved. He thought he was about to die on the battlefield, but unexpectedly, his beloved girl came to his rescue at the most dangerous moment.

Without a second thought, Wu Sangui cleaved the hammer-wielding daredevil team member he was fighting with a single slash, ran toward Chen Yuanyuan, and mounted his horse.

Chen Yuanyuan shouted, "Brothers, follow me to break through!"

"Trying to run?" Dao Dachui was having a blast when he saw the enemy trying to escape, so he shouted, "Brothers, follow me! Don't let them get away!"

At this moment, Li Hechen ran to Dao Dachui's side and punched him.

Li Hechen cursed and said, "What are you chasing? Quickly tell your men not to pursue them!"

"Huh?" Dao Dachui said in surprise, "Are you stupid? We've already surrounded them, and most of them still have horses. If we don't chase them now, we won't be able to catch up later!"

Li Hechen pointed at Chen Yuanyuan and said irritably, "You unlucky fool, open your dog eyes and see clearly who that is! That's Madam Chen Yuanyuan! The lord has ordered that Madam must not be harmed. What if you chase after her and hurt her?"

Dao Dachui hadn't noticed at first, but after Li Hechen reminded him, he realized that the soldier was rescuing Chen Yuanyuan.

Dao Dachui wasn't stupid either; he quickly ordered, "Brothers, stop! Let them go!"

In an instant, the soldiers on both sides, as if by telepathy, all stopped fighting. The encirclement cleared a path, allowing Chen Yuanyuan to lead her troops to escape.

Wang Wenzhou, panting heavily, finally reached the front of the formation. Looking at Chen Yuanyuan, he shouted, "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, I missed you!"

"Hmph!" Chen Yuanyuan snorted coldly and said irritably, "Traitorous scoundrel, I don't want you! Don't come any closer, or I'll be merciless with my arrows."

After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, she drew her bow and nocked an arrow, the cold arrowhead pointing directly at Wang Wenzhou.

Wang Wenzhou was incredibly frustrated. "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan, you're so disobedient! Is this even fair? How dare you try to shoot me with an arrow? I may like shooting you, but I never use arrows!"

"Yuanyuan, come home with me!" Wang Wenzhou didn't stop walking.

Chen Yuanyuan frowned upon seeing this. With so many people protecting this nemesis, she dared not let Wang Wenzhou get close. She was afraid that if Wang Wenzhou got close, his guards would stop Wu Sangui and the others again.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanyuan let go, and the arrow flew out.

"Thud!" The arrow struck Wang Wenzhou's feet, just a hair's breadth away from piercing his calf.

"My lord! Danger! Protect the lord!" Sheng Lan shouted immediately upon seeing this, and in an instant, the sedan chair carriers' soldiers tightly protected Wang Wenzhou in the middle.

Wang Wenzhou shoved the guards blocking his way and said coldly, "Get out of the way! My Yuanyuan won't hurt me!"

"My lord! That little bitch has changed her mind and is capable of anything! You can't come any closer! Pass on my order to annihilate the enemy!" Sheng Lan said hurriedly.

"Who dares!" Wang Wenzhou cursed, "Jian Fengyu, are you out of your mind? Annihilate your sister! My Yuanyuan got a little scratch, I'll castrate you! Pass on my order, don't move! Let them leave!"

Of those present, only a very few knew Sheng Lan's identity, but now that Wang Wenzhou had given the order, they dared not obey Sheng Lan's commands anymore.

"Make way, make way quickly!" Wang Wenzhou wanted to go out and coax his baby Yuanyuan.

Sheng Lan wouldn't have it. She quickly said, "It's too dangerous! Don't let the adults come out!"

Upon hearing Sheng Lan's order, the guards, after all, Wu Sangui was still riding on Lady Chen Yuanyuan's horse, and they were genuinely afraid that Wang Wenzhou was in danger.

"Fuck you! Get out of the way!" Wang Wenzhou cursed.

No matter how much Wang Wenzhou cursed, the guards wouldn't let him leave.

In that short time, Chen Yuanyuan led her remaining troops out of the encirclement. Originally 20,000 cavalry, now only less than 4,000 remained. Wu Sangui dared not stay outside the city any longer, fearing that he would be surrounded again by Wang Wenzhou.

So he led his men straight to the city gate.

Although Yang Changsi hadn't dared to open the gates to coordinate the attack earlier, he quickly opened them now, letting Wu Sangui's remaining troops into the city. After all, even though they hadn't been able to relieve the siege, the increased number of soldiers inside would allow them to hold out for a few more days.

Wang Wenzhou silently watched the procession entering the city, furious. Damn it! My Yuanyuan has changed her mind! No! My Yuanyuan has been deceived by that eunuch Wu Sangui! No way, I must take Yuanyuan back!

"Pass on my order! After a short break, launch a full-scale attack in half an hour!" Wang Wenzhou decided to gamble everything and launch a full-scale assault on the city.
