Chapter 113 A Perilous Path Turns into a Smooth Road, Jin Xin Shocks the Enemy Chieftain
Yan Cheng'an appeared like a ghost, pulling her behind him as he drew his longsword, its cold light gleaming.
"With me here, no one can touch her!" His eyes were piercing, like a fierce beast protecting its young.
Su Jinxin was no delicate woman hiding behind a man; she quickly calmed down and analyzed the situation.
The enemy was lying in ambush here, clearly they came prepared. How did they know about this ancient road, which is so well hidden?
Could there be a mole within the organization?
"Don't panic, my lady, just watch my performance!" Yan Cheng'an's lips curled into a confident smile, as if everything was under his control.
He was agile and wielded a sharp sword, like a war god descended to earth, carving a bloody path through the enemy ranks.
"666, as expected of my husband!" Su Jinxin thought to herself, "As expected of the male lead, his fighting power is top-notch!"
But she didn't sit idle either; she immediately directed her guards to form a defensive formation and engage in a fierce battle with the enemy.
The enemy forces were numerous and their offensive was fierce, and the transport convoy gradually found itself at a disadvantage.
"Brothers, hold on! Our supplies are a matter of life and death for the soldiers on the front lines!" Su Jinxin shouted, boosting morale.
The battle grew increasingly fierce, with flashing swords and deafening shouts of battle.
Just when Su Jinxin thought she was doomed, she suddenly noticed that the enemy's formation was a bit strange, seemingly... too concentrated?
Moreover, their attack direction was a bit off, as if... they were deliberately avoiding something?
“Interesting…” Su Jinxin’s eyes flashed, and she seemed to understand something.
She did not continue to resist using conventional tactics, but instead...
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Su Jinxin decisively gave the order.
Yan Cheng'an was taken aback. "Madam, why are we retreating? We..."
Su Jinxin smiled mysteriously, "I have a brilliant plan, my husband, trust me!" She leaned close to Yan Cheng'an's ear and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, Yan Cheng'an was first taken aback, then a look of understanding appeared on his face. "Madam is indeed brilliant! Brilliant!"
"Hehe, keep it low-key..." Su Jinxin raised an eyebrow smugly, "Now, let's watch the show!"
Seeing Su Jinxin and her group retreat, the enemy general assumed they were afraid and burst into laughter, shouting, "Cowards! Chase them! Leave no one alive!"
The enemy soldiers pursued them aggressively, unaware that they were walking step by step into... a trap set by Su Jinxin.
"Hey, wait a minute," Su Jinxin suddenly stopped, turned around to look at the pursuing enemy troops, and gave them a meaningful smile. "Have you forgotten something?"
The enemy general was taken aback and subconsciously looked back. He saw a large number of... boxes abandoned along the way they were pursuing them.
"What junk?" The enemy general curled his lip in disdain, his mind filled with images of seizing more valuable goods from Su Jinxin, and he paid no attention to these tattered boxes.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Never mind that, chase after them!"
Watching the enemy soldiers' retreating figures, Su Jinxin's lips curled into a sly smile. "The fish have taken the bait..."
She clapped her hands, and a small team emerged from their hiding place. Each person carried a seemingly heavy box and ran breathlessly to Su Jinxin.
"Madam, everything is arranged." The squad leader wiped his sweat, looking excited.
"Hmm, very good." Su Jinxin nodded in satisfaction. "Remember, you must act as realistically as possible, understand?"
"Don't worry, madam, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" the squad leader assured, patting his chest.
Then, the squad, carrying boxes, ran towards the enemy, shouting as they ran, "Stop fighting! We surrender! We have something important to offer the general!"
Upon hearing this, the enemy general was overjoyed. He had thought the enemy was a tough nut to crack, but it turned out they were so easily defeated!
He immediately ordered a halt to the pursuit and waited for the group of "surrendered" men to come over.
"Those who know when to yield are the heroes, you guys..." Before the enemy general could finish speaking, the "surrendering" squad suddenly slammed the boxes they were carrying onto the ground!
"boom!"
A deafening explosion followed, and flames shot skyward!
It turns out that those boxes didn't contain gold and silver treasures at all, but... gunpowder!
The shockwave from the explosion sent enemy soldiers flying, and the enemy generals were also stunned and disoriented. Before they could react to what had happened, Su Jinxin led the main force out from both sides!
"Kill!" With Su Jinxin's command, the transport team descended like tigers from the mountain, unstoppable!
The enemy troops were thrown into chaos, their encirclement was broken in an instant, and they were routed.
The enemy general then realized he had fallen into a trap, and he roared in anger, but there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
Su Jinxin rode her horse past the enemy general, coldly tossing out, "Sorry, all's fair in war, this is called tactics!"
Then, without looking back, she sped off towards the border, leaving the enemy general bewildered in the wind...
"Giddy up!" Su Jinxin raised her whip, a confident smile playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with an air of certainty.
In the distance, a familiar figure seemed to be waiting for her... "General Wang, your supplies have arrived!"
Amidst the swirling dust, a vast procession, resembling a long dragon, wound its way along the rugged mountain road.
At the very front of the procession, Su Jinxin rode a magnificent horse, her heroic bearing resembling that of a female warrior on the battlefield.
Behind her were wagons loaded with provisions and supplies, each one priceless and capable of influencing the course of the battle.
"We've finally arrived!" Su Jinxin looked at the border city gate that was faintly visible in the distance, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
The journey was fraught with peril, with constant harassment from the enemy and numerous close calls.
If she hadn't been prepared and laid numerous traps, she would probably have already lost her life.
When the news reached the border, General Wang immediately led his troops to meet them.
From afar, one could see General Wang's imposing figure, standing like an iron tower in front of the city gate.
"Madam Su, you've finally arrived! You must be tired from your journey!" General Wang strode forward, excitedly grasping Su Jinxin's hand as if he had seen a savior.
Upon seeing General Wang, Su Jinxin felt as excited as if she had seen Yan Cheng'an, her heart pounding.
She asked anxiously, "General Wang, how is Cheng'an...?"
General Wang laughed heartily, his cheerful voice echoing through the valley: "Madam, rest assured, General Yan is brave and skilled in battle, and has repeatedly achieved great feats. The enemy is terrified of him! Right now, he is leading a large army in a decisive battle against the enemy's main force. Once the supplies arrive, we will achieve a great victory!"
Hearing that Yan Chengan was safe and sound, Su Jinxin finally felt relieved and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
She could almost see Yan Cheng'an returning in triumph, embracing her in his arms.
"General Wang, these supplies are entrusted to you. Make sure they are delivered to the front lines as soon as possible!" Su Jinxin solemnly handed the list of supplies to General Wang.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will certainly not fail in my mission!" General Wang took the list, his eyes resolute.
Just then, a soldier came running up, looking panicked: "Report—enemy...enemy..."
Su Jinxin and General Wang exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts...
"Report—the enemy...the enemy has attacked our supply route and intercepted...intercepted our supplies!" The soldier said, trembling, before collapsing to his knees with a thud.
Upon hearing this, General Wang's expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.
He turned sharply to look at Su Jinxin, his eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach: "Mrs. Su, what... what should we do?"
Su Jinxin remained unusually calm. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "What's the panic! The word 'admit defeat' doesn't exist in my dictionary!" She smiled contemptuously, "The enemy wants to play dirty tricks? Then I'll play along! Pass down the order: all soldiers, prepare for battle immediately! I want to see who dares to touch my things!"
At Su Jinxin's command, the previously exhausted team instantly regained its vitality.
They quickly assembled, formed a defensive formation, and stood ready for battle.
The enemy general thought victory was assured, but he did not expect Su Jinxin's troops to be so tenacious.
He had originally planned to rob the supplies and run away, but he never expected to run into such a tough nut to crack, and he immediately felt disgusted, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"This woman is quite the tough guy!" the enemy general cursed under his breath, but dared not make any rash moves.
Although Su Jinxin's team was small in number, each member was well-trained, well-equipped, and extremely powerful in combat. Su Jinxin herself was especially skilled, practically a "human weapon."
Seeing that a direct assault was not going to work, the enemy general devised a plan.
He sent men to feign peace, claiming he was willing to return some of the supplies in exchange for a safe retreat.
Su Jinxin saw through the enemy's scheme at a glance. She sneered, "Trying to get something for nothing? I'm not one to be trifled with!" She pretended to agree to peace, but secretly laid a trap.
The enemy general thought Su Jinxin had been tricked and smugly led his troops into the encirclement.
Just then, Su Jinxin gave an order, and the ambushers sprang up, raining down arrows.
Caught off guard, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and their general was captured alive.
"Is that all? You think you can take my carrot?" Su Jinxin looked down at the enemy general kneeling on the ground, her tone mocking.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the enemy general had no choice but to obediently hand over all the captured supplies, plus compensation, in order to save his life.
The crisis was averted, and General Wang was filled with admiration for Su Jinxin: "Madam Su is truly a heroine! I admire her greatly!"
Su Jinxin smiled slightly, nonchalantly: "It's nothing, just basic stuff, don't make a fuss." She looked up into the distance, silently praying in her heart: Cheng'an, wait for me.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid hoofbeats came from afar, and a soldier covered in blood rode up: "Report—good news! General Yan has decisively defeated the enemy army, the enemy chieftain..." He paused, his voice trembling, "...was...beheaded by General Yan!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinxin swayed slightly, her eyes instantly reddening... "He...he..."
