After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 627 - 383: His Highness is Brave_3

Wu Chengping no longer hesitated. With a loud shout, he swung his spear to deflect the arrow, riding forward to meet Yang Yi.

Yang Yi abandoned his efforts and raised his spear, charging forward without a second thought!

In a mere forty or fifty steps, the clash of spear and spear was as quick as lightning, sparks flying in the air.

Pei Zhan reined in his horse, watching from afar as the sunlight glinted off the shiny spears, creating a silver arc.

After about twenty rounds, suddenly a rider retreated, and Pei Zhan’s keen eyes recognized Yang Yi holding his long spear, rushing towards this side.

He instantly looked towards Wu Chengping, only to see that two jets of blood were spurting from the latter’s chest. Wu still stood upright on his horse, pointing his spear at the swiftly retreating Yang Yi, until a few moments later, he fell thunderously from his horse like a collapsing mountain!

"... Mr. Yang is mighty!"

The generals nearby couldn’t help but cheer loudly.

Pei Zhan couldn’t help but grip the hilt of his sword tightly.

He had heard about Yang Yi’s experiences outside for more than twenty years many times from Fu Zhen, and later also heard about Yang Yi’s cleverness and bravery in his youth from Pei Yu. Indeed, it was truly remarkable.

But no matter how many emotional descriptions, they ultimately had a layer of distance and couldn’t truly move anyone.

And now, in front of him, Yang Yi was as mighty as ever, calm and composed, possessing a general’s tiger-like might even though he was not a general. It was as if he had stepped out from the pages of a book, suddenly becoming vivid and real!

This was the living, resilient Yang Yi who never gave in even after enduring hardships!

This was the eldest prince of the Great Zhou, who had shown his extraordinary side at a young age!

Gao Changyuan excitedly said, "The majestic demeanor of His Highness is on par with the generals of our garrison in the northwest!

Pei Zhan took a deep breath and nodded deeply, "With a leader like this, what follows our return to the capital will be straightforward!"

Upon saying this, he ordered in a low voice, "Cavalry Camp in position to ready bows! Everyone else, attack together!"

...

The site of the battle was within Dayue’s territory.

Pei Zhan had been in the northwest for more than half a month and had already sent envoys to the Dayue Imperial Court. Though the battle erupted suddenly, the nearby garrison had already reacted to orders from their court.

After Wu Chengping and Lian Yang were unseated, the fierce battle raged until midday, and the outcome was already apparent.

But the rebel forces were clearly not resigned to death, stubbornly resisting to the bitter end.

In the end, when Dayue’s troops attacked again, a leader among the rebels shouted, "No more fighting." Such surrender led to more desertions, and by midday, the forces of Great Zhou, Dayue, and Dongzi had encircled the remaining rebel troops, which were less than thirty percent of the original force.

With numbers overwhelmingly in their favor, it was unreasonable not to surrender.

But settling the situation in just over half a day was the best outcome.

The purpose of Pei Zhan’s expedition was to capture the remnants of Lian Yang’s party; naturally, the task of confronting the 100,000 rebel soldiers from Dongzi fell to the garrison.

Cheng Chili escorted Lian Yang into a prison cart, and Liang Zhi and Gao Changyuan had also retrieved the other half of the Tiger Talisman and other materials, such as the commanding seal of the rebel army, from Wu Chengjun.

When they defected to Dongzi, they fled with their entire families, so they naturally carried these items with them.

The army returned to the northwest garrison. While Gao Changyuan and others were busy with the aftermath, Pei Zhan and Liang Zhi were organizing equipment in preparation for their return to the capital.

Just as he was about to seek out Yang Yi, Yang Yi came to the main tent first.

"You all go back first; I wish to visit Dongzi and meet with Jin Xu."

Pei Zhan said, "Last night’s event occurred suddenly, and there was no time to report to Your Highness. Zhen Er has sent an urgent message; there is a change in the capital city, and both Your Highness and I must return as quickly as possible!"

Yang Yi’s towering frame abruptly halted at the tent entrance, "What has happened?"

Pei Zhan’s demeanor was heavy, "I don’t know the specifics, only that Ah Zhen sent a message via express courier riding five hundred miles, making me impatient to return and unable to stay another moment."

Yang Yi furrowed his brows tightly, his gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone in the tent, seeing no joy of a great achievement, only tension, and felt impossible to disregard.

He tightened and loosened his grip on his sword hilt, then loosened it again before taking a deep breath, striding outside, saying, "Then let’s go! Depart immediately!"

His decisiveness at this moment made everyone in the tent smile silently, then follow him out.

Outside the main tent, the September sun shone brightly over the land, the distant yellow sand gleamed a luminous golden hue, and the flags fluttered along the courier route extending all the way to the horizon.

In the prison carriage, ready to depart, Lian Yang and the other remnants guilty of national betrayal were already verified and each wore the look of a beaten dog, staring dejectedly at the ground. The corpses of rebel leaders like Wu Chengping, who had been mortally wounded, lay in a line on flat carts.

——Up to this day, the fourteen-year-long unrest in the northwest had finally come to a complete end.
