Vol 5 Chapter 17 (2/2)

*Dong*! *Dong*!

Un?

“Consecutive firecrackers!? Is Meng De going to do something!?” Ben Chu was shocked by this sound and she hurriedly checked her surroundings.

*Dong*! *Dong*!

“Where is the sound coming from?!”

“They’re coming from both east and west, my lord!” Feng Ji was very anxious as well.

Meng De, you definitely have something going on as expected right?

I began to feel an inexplicable fear and anxiety from being infected by the atmosphere.

Die–

And just then, everyone was shocked as cries for blood could be heard from both sides. Troops could now be seen charging at Ben Chu’s troops from east and west, both of which held the Cao army flags.

One flag had [夏侯] emblazoned on it while the other had [绣].

“My lord, looks like Zhang Xiu has joined Cao Cao!”

“d.a.m.n it, not just that, Yingchuan’s garrison has made it here!” Ben Chu pulled forcefully on the reins of her horse and made it raise its front legs as it got ready readied to charge.

“My lord! Calm down!” Tian Feng who was standing on the ground fearlessly reached out and calmed the horse down, “The Xiahou army is the stronger of the 2, Gao Lan should lead a cavalry unit and stop them! Archers in the back, wait for our lord’s signal to a.s.sist the vanguard!”

Tian Feng slapped Ben Chu’s plate skirt when she finished. And with this a.s.sistance from Tian Feng, Ben Che finally calmed down.

“Archers at the ready–” The sound of hundreds of bowstrings being pulled back filled the air as she raised her sword above her head and pointed it at the sky.

It was silent for a single moment until…

“Fire!–” And in the next instant, the sound of loosened bowstrings filled my ears.

“Watch out, my lord!”

“Watch out, Xuan De!!” Along with Zi Long’s cry, wave upon wave of arrows landed. And the arrows landed right before me.

Eh?

Why were the arrows aimed at our own side?
