Who put the yellow robe on me?

Chapter 151 The battle situation reverses

Jiang Chen stood on the high platform at the city gate, overlooking the fierce battle outside the city, and felt a deep pressure rolling in his heart.

It was an indescribable torment, like thousands of invisible chains entwined around his heart, tightening every nerve in his body.

In front of Liangzhou City, the main force engaged in close combat with the enemy, with swords and sabers flashing and flying, the neighing of war horses was endless, and blood splattered all over the ground.

On the flank of the Western Region, the flank troops led by the two sons of the Zhong family were also fighting with the enemy.

Everything seemed to be hanging in the air, like stones that had not yet landed, so heavy that it made him breathless.

General Mi stood aside, holding the hilt of his sword, his eyes full of worry.

He and she kept looking in the direction where the Northern Qiang were coming from, hoping to see some good news from some corner of the battlefield, but nothing happened.

"Your Highness, whether this battle can turn the tide is still unknown..." General Mi whispered, his eyes filled with worry. "If the princess of Northern Qiang really sends troops, perhaps... we still have a glimmer of hope."

Jiang Chen did not respond, his eyes still fixed on the distance.

He knew that the Northern Qiang, the young master of the Zhong family on the flanks, and the main force on the front battlefield were now fighting a life-or-death battle. Any small change would rapidly change the situation and even lead to the collapse of the entire battlefield! Every place was an unresolved bet, and every stone was waiting to fall.

"Report!" Suddenly, a dusty scout arrived and knelt down to report, "Guards Dian and Deng are back!"

Jiang Chen's heart tightened. He turned around abruptly, staring at the scout with a sharp gaze. "Quick, invite them in!"

General Mi's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the light of day. He said eagerly, "I hope it brings good news!"

Jiang Chen didn't say much. Dian Zhang and Deng Yunde soon appeared in his sight. They were exhausted and looked nervous, obviously having experienced quite a few setbacks.

Seeing Jiang Chen, the two men hurriedly knelt down and saluted, sweat dripping from their foreheads and soaking their armor.

"Get up quickly, are you okay?" Jiang Chen asked anxiously, with a hint of almost uncontrollable nervousness.

Dianzhang looked up, a faint smile on his face, and said with a cupped hand, "I'm glad I've fulfilled my mission. The princess of Northern Qiang has agreed to send troops!"

Jiang Chen's heart finally relaxed. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He tightly grasped Dianzhang's shoulders and said excitedly, "Good! Very good! You've worked hard!"

General Mi was beside him, his face brimming with excitement. Unable to contain his excitement, he exclaimed repeatedly, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan is truly a god! Your Highness's strategy is truly impeccable!"

General Zhong Wenbin, standing by, also smiled slightly, with a look of approval in his eyes, and said, "General Mi, you don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is capable of much more than this. This is just the tip of the iceberg."

Just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, another scout hurried over, his expression solemn as he knelt down to report, "Report! The eldest son of the Zhong family has reunited with the second son. The fighting on the flank has eased, and the two sides are temporarily in a state of standoff!"

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Chen's brows relaxed, as if a huge rock hanging in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

He took a deep breath, a relieved smile in his eyes: "Very good, very good! The flank is temporarily stable."

But just as he felt a little relieved, there was still a trace of unresolved tension surging in his heart - the Thirteenth Princess Jiang Sirou, she had actually gone to the wing with the young master of the Zhong family.

Jiang Chen originally just wanted the Thirteenth Princess to watch the battle from afar and be a nominal military advisor, but he didn't expect that she would insist on joining the battle and secretly follow Zhong Xiaodan to the battlefield.

Although Zhong Xiaodan doted on her and tried her best to protect her, the battlefield was dangerous and unpredictable, and Jiang Chen still felt uneasy.

"This Thirteenth Sister is always a headache..." Jiang Chen secretly blamed her in his heart. The Thirteenth Princess was stubborn and no one could persuade her no matter how hard she tried.

What's more, it's against the second son of the Zhong family? He's the one that the Thirteenth Princess would even go up to the sky to pick the moon!

Jiang Chen recovered and turned to look at the general beside him. His expression gradually became firm. He took a deep breath and said, "General Zhong, the front battlefield is now in your hands! If we want to turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop, this should be our only hope!"

Zhong Wenbin bowed and accepted the order, his eyes showing great determination.

"Alright! I'll give it my all!" He then ordered, "Zuo Yongyu will be the vanguard, Zhou Liangwei will be the deputy general, and Mi Chunhong will be the center. Follow me!"

"Yes!" Zuo Yongyu, Zhou Liangwei and Mi Chunhong responded at the same time, their voices sonorous and powerful, as if their determination had turned into invisible force.

The four of them then led their troops and set off. Jiang Chen stood on the top of the city wall and watched them leave.

On the battlefield, the Western Regions' army was in high spirits, as if the overwhelming advantage had already decided the outcome.

The battle situation was extremely tense at this moment. The archers from the Western Regions were in a dominant position, shooting the soldiers of Daliang from afar. The war horses were galloping on the dusty battlefield, neighing and carrying an irresistible impact.

"Their advantage is that they are all elite troops, but whether they can be supplied with food and fodder is questionable." Zhong Wenbin galloped on his horse, his eyes calm and steady as he scanned the battlefield ahead and quickly analyzed the enemy's weaknesses.

Zuo Yongyu, Zhou Liangwei and Mi Chunhong followed closely behind with determined eyes, ready to fight a bloody battle.

"We can't fight head-on. Divide the army into two groups and adopt roundabout tactics!" Zhong Wenbin ordered in a deep voice.

He raised his hand and swung it down suddenly, "All troops, listen up! Split into two groups. Don't confront the enemy's frontal forces head-on!"

Following Zhong Wenbin's order, the Daliang army quickly divided into two teams. The soldiers held their spears tightly, their eyes sharp, and marched in neat steps, avoiding the enemy's frontal troops.

General Xianyu of the Western Regions thought the outcome of the battle was already decided, and he never anticipated that the Daliang army would suddenly change its formation and avoid the Western Regions' frontal defense line.

The sudden appearance of General Zhong Wenbin and others was like a sharp sword tearing through the air. The combat effectiveness of some troops saw a qualitative improvement, while the combat effectiveness of some troops avoided confrontation, instantly disrupting the rhythm of the Western Region.

The vanguard troops led by Zhong Wenbin personally rushed towards the front line of the Western Region like a storm, with swords and guns clashing, flames splashing, and screams resounding throughout the battlefield.

"Shoot!" General Xianyu gave the order, and countless arrows poured down like a rainstorm. The black shadows of arrows covered the sky and pointed directly at the army of Dayan.

"All troops, protect your shields!" Zhong Wenbin suddenly shouted, and his soldiers quickly raised their large shields. A dense wall of shields blocked the rain of arrows. The arrows landed on the shields with a dull "dong dong" sound, and the scene was in chaos.

However, Zhong Wenbin didn't give the enemy any chance to breathe. With a cold glint in his eyes, he shouted, "Zuo Yongyu, lead the vanguard to encircle from the right!"

Zuo Yongyu took the order and led a team of elite soldiers to quickly bypass the enemy's defense line and attack the enemy archers from the flank.

The enemy archers were caught off guard by the sudden attack and their formation was instantly broken up.

The battle situation on the field suddenly reversed...
