Rebirth: So what if my husband is a little crazy? He loves me.

Chapter 352 The Unlucky Rebels

"As for you, you'd better remain stubborn for a while longer, and I'll show you what it means for good to triumph over evil." Shen Li said provocatively, "Don't you dare surrender, or I'll look down on you."

General Zou was so angry that he stopped paying attention to Shen Li and dared not curse her anymore, because he knew he couldn't win an argument with her.

Upon arriving at the next city, the gatekeeper only recognized General Zou, but Shen Li had already devised a way to deal with it.

So the city guards saw General Zou lying unconscious in a carriage, seriously ill. General Zou's close associates were acquainted with the city guards, so they were immediately welcomed into the city and given the best doctors to treat him.

The doctor diagnosed it as heat poisoning and prescribed some medicine, so the grain transport team continued on their way, but the young general didn't take a single drop of the medicine.

Upon arriving at the next city, General Zou's face turned even paler. And so, the same thing that had happened before happened again: a prescription was written, medicine was dispensed, and the grain transport team had a hearty meal before leaving the city.

The next city was inside the pass, and all three gates of this pass were besieged by Li Rui's army, with only the back gate being able to be opened.

When they reached the rear gate of the pass, General Zou Xiao was so exhausted that he was barely clinging to life. Even his rebellious subordinates couldn't bear to watch him suffer and, while he was still awake, tried to persuade him to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

"General, we are no match for that woman. You should surrender."

"That's right. That girl looked incredibly beautiful after washing her face, but as beautiful as her face, her heart was as black as her heart. Even if ten of you were tied together, you couldn't beat her."

General Zou remained silent in the face of such persuasion, not because he did not want to express his opinion, but because he was too ill to speak.

He would only be woken up and given a few bites of food once he reached the outskirts of the city. Once inside the city, he would be denied food and water, and even poisoned. It's no wonder he became haggard.

Before approaching the city gate, Shen Li had already slowed down the march. She wanted to wait until night to enter the city, as it would be easier to get things done under the cover of darkness.

Before entering the city, she released a carrier pigeon.

So when they arrived at the city gate that night, they could hear the deafening sounds of gunfire, the clash of cold weapons, and shouts of battle.

Li Rui is attacking the city.

Shen Li stood in front of the city gate, listening to the sounds from all sides. She took a deep breath, walked to General Zou's carriage, and ordered without asking any questions, "Knock him out and let him into the city."

Those subordinates who had just been urging him to surrender all shut their mouths. Without saying a word, Peony grabbed one of them and slapped him on the back of the head.

The subordinates even wanted to look away, thinking to themselves, "Where did these girls come from? They're all so fierce."

Amidst the flames of war, the city gates were breached. The general guarding the city was only relieved when he saw General Zou and his familiar subordinates. He then checked the relevant documents before allowing them to pass.

"Hurry up and come in. The army's offensive is fierce, and the city has run out of food. You've come just in time!" The defending general was very excited when he saw the food.

"General, in your opinion, with enough food, can we hold out?" The question came from a subordinate of the rebel army.

"The gates are impregnable; even if the enemy has a renowned general, we can only wait it out," the general said arrogantly.

"That's fine, that's fine."

"The military rations are ready. Brothers, you've worked hard. Go to the post station and rest. I'll send someone to find the best doctor for General Zou right away," the general guarding the city said to the grain transport team.

Upon hearing Shen Li's instructions, the subordinate hurriedly replied, "The general is already taking his medicine. Before going to sleep, the general instructed us to personally deliver the military rations to each camp. We must not be careless."

"Is that so? General Zou is very thoughtful, afraid that we'll take more than our share, right?" The general's joke was tinged with dissatisfaction.

"General, what are you saying? Our general ordered us to pack three more cartloads of meat for you." The subordinate was a seasoned veteran, and he handled the situation with ease.

The general guarding the city finally smiled broadly, exchanged a few more pleasantries, left some military rations, and continued towards another city gate.

The city gate was currently engulfed in flames of war.

Shen Li had her eyes on the cannons firing continuously from the city wall for a while, and gave Bai Wuyou a wink.

The deputy commander of the city gate guards immediately came forward to greet the grain convoy. As they were chatting happily, Shen Li asked, "Which general is attacking the city from outside?"

"Oh, that girl from the Lin family, don't let her age fool you, she's a formidable military commander. If it weren't for these cannons, we really don't know if we could have held out."

The deputy commander of the city sighed, and only after speaking did he realize that he seemed to have heard a woman's voice, so he looked in Shen Li's direction.

The night was deep, and he couldn't see Shen Li's face clearly, so he moved closer. Sure enough, a light appeared in front of him, but it was just a gleaming blade.

With a swift stroke, Ma Zheng sent the deputy general guarding the city's head rolling to the ground.

Before the soldiers behind the lieutenant could even understand what was happening, they were swarmed by the grain transport team and killed.

As the saying goes, "an army marches on its stomach," and the supply convoy was always equipped with the best equipment. Moreover, the three battalions that Shen Li brought were the elite of the elite.

The elite troops, armed with armor and weapons forged from fine iron, launched a sudden attack, which had a tremendous impact on the hastily assembled force.

With a flick of her spear, Shen Li charged towards the city gate, scattering the hundred or so people there in an instant.

"Lower the drawbridge and open the city gates," she ordered.

At the same time, Ma Zheng and Chen Su led two teams of men to attack the city wall from two different directions. They quickly occupied the city wall, and Bai Wuyou swiftly subdued the soldiers operating the cannons.

The cannon fire stopped, replaced by the shouts of battle cries as the army outside the city charged in, crossing the moat and rushing through the city gates.

Shen Li reined in her horse and stood at the city gate, where she saw Lin Wan'er leading her troops in a charge. Both of them were clad in armor and wielding long spears, and they had met on the battlefield countless times before.

Fortunately for them, in this life they are comrades-in-arms standing side by side, no longer rivals.
