The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1722

Chapter 1722: 844 Young War God!

Gu Jiao rode back to the military camp all the way.

In fact, the Black Wind Riders had long been aware of the news of the North City Gate breach. The entire army was already prepared and ready, with the military officers and warhorses all clad in armor, each holding a spear or long sword, standing resolutely in the fierce west wind on the training field.

Gu Jiao didn’t ask who was leading them, perhaps there was no need to ask.

They were not fighting for the armor; once they donned this armor, they had to stand for their country, fight for the common people. As long as there was breath in them, no one could trample over Dayan’s rivers and lands!

To be honest, Mu Qingchen felt extremely shocked when he saw this scene. He had been with the army for over a month, often believing he understood these Dayan military officers well, yet his perception was still too superficial.

What kind of sentiment drives sacrifice to this extent?

Gu Jiao sat on the Black Wind King, looking at the magnificent Black Wind Riders, and said solemnly, "Very well. The Vanguard Camp and Assault Camp officers will go to battle with me! The Defense Camp shall also prepare to fight anytime!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Mu Qingchen’s heart skipped a beat. Even the Defense Camp was considering joining the battle?

Zhou Ren and Zhang Shiyong heard her words, and their hearts stirred with excitement, finally getting a chance to go to the battlefield!

But the next second, their raised arms froze in mid-air.

They weren’t afraid to die.

But if even they were expected to fight, it meant the situation had deteriorated beyond estimation.

This battle... perhaps it was the survival battle for the Black Wind Riders!

Gu Jiao glanced at the Defense Camp, "Hopefully, we won’t need to use you."

If they had to be used, it meant the Vanguard Camp and Assault Camp had completely fallen.

In that dream filled with gunpowder smoke and fire, the Liang Country and Black Wind Riders indeed fought a fierce battle, with the Black Wind Riders, reduced to fewer than twenty thousand men and horses due to internal strife, being besieged by the Liang Country army in the Mang Mountain range.

...The entire army was annihilated.

Gu Jiao clenched the reins, riding on the deserted streets.

This time, could she rewrite the fate of the Black Wind Riders?

Mu Qingchen rode to catch up, "Each city gate arch in Quyang City has three gates, only one is broken."

Gu Jiao said, "No, all three are broken."

The innermost gate that was blasted had the hinge detonated; meanwhile, there was also an arch gate and a secret door that the rebel troops destroyed the corresponding slots.

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed.

The young master of the Black Wind Camp, reportedly just a teenager.

So young and already daring to go to war.

Ironically, they once doubted he was a traitor, but what traitor would defend a city’s civilians with his own flesh and blood at the brink of life and death?

...

When tens of thousands of Liang Country soldiers arrived outside the North City Gate, the Black Wind Riders were already neatly arranged to greet them.

The two sides were ten zhang apart, perfectly within the effective range of the archers.

The shields and archers of both sides were in position, and the great battle was imminent!

Gu Jiao took the lead, riding the horse to the forefront of the Black Wind Riders.

She wore her battle garb, the black armor, and the Black Wind King also donned a black helmet and black iron armor.
