I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 170: Don't leave me.

The woman stood tall and straight, her figure like a sheathed blade, gazing coldly at the tightly closed gates of Qi Capital.

The biting cold wind blew, and fine snowflakes danced, brushing through her ink-black hair.

The deputy general rode his horse to the woman's side and respectfully asked, "General Qin, when will we attack the city?"

The wind and snow grew more intense.

Looking out, beneath the layers of clouds, the entire city was covered in a vast expanse of white.

Qin Xueting brushed the snow off her shoulder and replied, "Wait for another half an hour."

The deputy general saluted and was about to convey the military order.

But Qin Xueting suddenly raised her hand, stopping him. "Wait."

The deputy general halted his horse and followed Qin Xueting's gaze towards the top of the city wall.

There, a woman dressed in ink-colored attire, wearing armor and a sword at her waist, slowly ascended the tower and walked along the city wall.

Her slender face was as cold as ice, except for a touch of crimson on her lips, as thick as blood.

Qin Xueting knew who that person was.

She clenched the bow and arrows in her hand, a smile appearing on her face. She speculated that during the impending battle between the two armies, Her Highness probably didn't have time to apply red makeup to her face in front of a mirror, so that touch of red on her lips was likely blood.

Although she smiled, the tone in which she gave orders was so indifferent that it almost seemed devoid of any emotion.

"No need to wait any longer."

"Attack now, immediately."

....

Before climbing up the city wall, Xiao Jin originally thought that someone else would lead the army to the city. But when she reached the wall and looked around, she didn't see that person.

If it were said that Xiao Jin's heart didn't stir with any emotional fluctuations, it would undoubtedly be false.

However, regardless of anything, Ling Shiyi had given her half of the Tiger Talisman, and behind her were the Ye family and the elite soldiers guarding the capital.

This battle had to be fought.

Even though the difference in strength was vast, the disparity was as wide as the sky and the earth.

Xiao Jin looked at the dense crowd of soldiers below, unable to estimate how many there were for the time being, but it was highly doubtful whether Yao Country had this many people in total.

It seemed that Chu Shao had conscripted every able-bodied soldier from each city.

However, even if it pursued speed, recruiting soldiers based on this standard was too radical, almost bordering on terror. Perhaps Yao Country had already become an empty city, with few shadows left.

No wonder she was able to advance triumphantly all the way, sweeping through Qi Country in just three years.

Ye Ji stood beside Xiao Jin, shaking his head involuntarily. He said, "The Yao army moves swiftly and without warning. Just a few days ago, they captured the Xiling Country, and today they can bring such a large force here. It shows that they must have implemented harsh policies, and the people must have long been suffering."

Xiao Jin naturally understood this point, so she didn't respond.

Looking at the soldiers assembling catapults in the woods, Xiao Jin waved the flag and gave the order, "Release the arrows."
