Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 159 The counterattack begins

They united all forces and launched a fierce counterattack against the enemy, thwarting their plot in one fell swoop.

Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling stood at the front of the battle line, with the allied forces assembled behind them. Banners fluttered, morale was high, and a decisive battle was about to begin.

"Today's battle concerns justice and peace. You must all fight bravely against the enemy!" Xiao Ling shouted, boosting morale.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers' shouts echoed through the sky.

At Xiao Ling's command, the allied forces surged towards the enemy like a tidal wave. The battlefield instantly erupted in a deafening roar of battle cries, with the glint of swords flashing.

Su Jinxiu, mounted on her horse, calmly directed the pace of the battle. She closely monitored the enemy's movements and adjusted the allied forces' tactics accordingly.

"Left-wing troops, accelerate your advance and hold back the enemy's flank!"

"Right-wing troops, outflank the enemy and cut off their retreat!"

Under Su Jinxiu's brilliant command, the allied forces' offensive became increasingly fierce, and the enemy suffered repeated defeats.

However, the enemy was not willing to accept defeat and fought desperately in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle.

"Don't back down, hold them off!" the enemy general shouted hoarsely.

The battle reached a fever pitch, with both sides suffering heavy casualties, but the morale of the allied forces remained high.

Xiao Ling led from the front, wielding his longsword and charging left and right through the enemy ranks as if they were empty. His heroic performance inspired every soldier.

"Follow the general, charge!"

Just then, Su Jinxiu discovered a weakness in the enemy's defenses.

"Concentrate your forces and attack the enemy's central command!"

The allied forces responded swiftly, launching a fierce assault on the enemy's central command. The enemy's defenses finally collapsed, and they began to scatter and flee.

"Chase them! Don't let them get away!" Xiao Ling led a squad of elite cavalry in pursuit of the enemy.

After a fierce pursuit, most of the enemy were eliminated or captured. This counterattack was a decisive victory.

When the smoke cleared, the battlefield was a scene of devastation. Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling looked at the fruits of their victory, but felt no relief whatsoever.

"Although we have thwarted the enemy's plot, I'm afraid there are still remnants left," Su Jinxiu said worriedly.

Xiao Ling nodded: "What you say is absolutely right, Madam. We must be careful to prevent the enemy from making a comeback."

During the post-war cleanup, the Allied forces discovered some secret enemy documents and communications records, which further revealed the depth and breadth of the enemy's conspiracy.

"So there's an even bigger force supporting them behind the scenes." Xiao Ling frowned.

Su Jinxiu pondered for a moment: "This matter must be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible so that the court can take precautions."

So, carrying the evidence and the prisoners, they rushed back to the capital without stopping.

When the imperial court learned of their victory and discovery, it greatly praised Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling.

"The Marquis's family has rendered a great service this time, and I will reward them handsomely," the Emperor said.

However, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, the enemy's conspiracy has not been completely eliminated, and we dare not take credit."

Upon hearing this, the emperor appreciated their loyalty and prudence even more.

In the capital, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling continued to assist the imperial court in investigating the remaining enemy forces. They worked day and night, leaving no clue unchecked.

“According to these documents, the enemy has some inside agents in the court,” Su Jinxiu analyzed.

Xiao Ling decisively said, "Then we'll find them one by one."

Through their efforts, one enemy spy after another was exposed and dealt with. The situation in the imperial court gradually stabilized.

However, just when they thought everything was over, a new crisis quietly descended.

One night, the Marquis's residence was suddenly attacked by a group of mysterious people.

"Protect the lady and the general!" The guards of the Marquis's residence fought back fiercely.

Xiao Ling and Su Jinxiu were awakened from their sleep and immediately joined the battle.

"Who are these people?" Xiao Ling asked while fighting the enemy.

Su Jinxiu's eyes were grave: "This is probably the enemy's last stand."

After a fierce battle, the mysterious man was finally defeated, but the Marquis's mansion also suffered considerable losses.

"It seems the enemy won't give up easily," Su Jinxiu said.

Xiao Ling clenched his fist: "Then we'll see this through to the end."

In the days that followed, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling strengthened the defenses of the Marquis's residence and continued to investigate the origins of the mysterious man.
