Chapter 149 The City is Broken
At this moment, the familiar sharp sound made Shang Ruyi’s whole body feel like he was struck by lightning.
"It's Mingdi!"
As she shouted, the cold light passed through the hole in the city gate and headed straight towards the emperor standing in the center of the long street. Come.
“Your Majesty!”
Someone shouted in the crowd, while more people flew towards the emperor.
However, no one could compare to the meteor-like light in that moment.
The cold light shot towards Chu Yang, but it barely grazed his ears and temples. When the strong wind passed by, it stirred up his temples and scattered them. Suddenly, he flew up with a loud sound, and the sharply screaming arrow snatched the With a loud sound, it was nailed hard to the doorpost of the sedan chair behind him.
The large sedan chair was shaken by the power of the arrow.
Chu Yang was stunned. He couldn't believe what happened at this moment. He slowly raised his hand, touched his scattered hair, and then looked back at the sedan chair behind him. , before he even had time to react, Shang Ruyi on the side had already shouted at him: "It's Mingdi, the Turkic soldiers are coming! Ashina Tsari is coming!"
This time, everyone realized that the Turks actually launched another siege just after the First World War, even before the battlefield was cleared!
The soldiers kneeling on both sides of the avenue hurriedly got up and rushed forward. Wang Shaoji had already drawn the knife from his waist and kept waving it, shouting: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
< br>The imperial guards hurriedly surrounded Chu Yang.
“Escort the Emperor back quickly!”
“Protect the Emperor, quickly!”
Just as everyone was hurriedly protecting Chu Yang and retreating, the imperial guards who were escorting her had already ignored her and rushed to the emperor's side. She was immediately squeezed into a panic in the crowd and almost didn't know what to do. Where to go.
In the distance, there were the voices of Mu Xian and Tu Sheer desperately calling her.
"Miss!"
"Young Madam!"
Shang Ruyi raised his hand high and was about to respond to them. Suddenly, a big hand stretched out and grabbed it. Got her.
"...!"
Shang Ruyi was shocked. When he looked back, he saw Chu Yang who was being protected by the imperial guards and retreating. His face was livid, his eyes were red, and his face was red. Fear and anger intertwined, showing an almost ferocious appearance, but he grabbed her hand tightly and dragged her to his side.
Also dragged to the center where all the guards were gathered.
Shang Ruyi was shocked: "Your Majesty——?"
Chu Yang gritted his teeth, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said viciously: "Follow me!"
"..."
Shang Ruyi didn't know why at this time, he suddenly wanted to take her with him. Was it to protect her? Or, those words just now angered him to the point where he would definitely punish her severely even if the Turkic soldiers came?
When Shang Ruyi's mind was in chaos and he was at a loss, more arrows shot in from the holes in the city gate. Only a few screams were heard, and there were already people in the crowd. Many people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The soldiers guarding the city were still rushing towards the city gate, but this time, when the person rushing at the front fell down, they immediately hesitated.
If before, their defense had a city gate, there would still be shelter after all, but now, with a big hole in the city gate, what else can stop the Turks' attack? Do they still have to use their flesh and blood to block it like last night?
Even if you really die, what's the point?
Those who survived still had to face heavy taxes from the court. Even if the emperor conquered Liaodong, they might have to continue to pave the way with their own flesh and blood.
At this moment, all the dissatisfaction and hesitation hindered the soldiers' footsteps.
When people's hearts are in confusion, the situation of the battle will immediately change.
No one was blocking the city gate anymore, and through the holes in the city gate, they could clearly see the Turkic soldiers flying from a distance, wrapped in smoke and dust, and they were no more than a few meters away from them. Ten feet away, this intimidating force even shocked the people inside the city gate to retreat step by step. While being dragged back by the wrist, Shang Ruyi raised his head and looked at the frightened soldiers and terrified people around him.
If the Turks really break down the city gate - everyone here will die.
Together with her, and this person who takes her with him!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi raised his head and said sternly to Chu Yang: "Your Majesty! At this point, Your Majesty must reward the soldiers and be generous to the people. Otherwise, who can defend Yanmen City? !”
The noise around her almost swallowed up her voice, but how could the two people closest to each other not hear each other’s voices.
Chu Yang looked down at her, fear and anger intertwined in his slender eyes.
He is the emperor, the favored son of heaven, and he has always been the only one to do it, but now, there is such a cruel reality that forces him to give up!
He refused.
But he had to——
Seeing the Turkic soldiers outside the city gate getting closer and closer, Chu Yang's expression became more and more conflicted, and Shang Ruyi hissed: "Your Majesty, Is it true that His Majesty is determined to die here?"
These words were like thunder, exploding above Chu Yang's head.
His footsteps suddenly sank, and he stood in the middle of the long street. In front of him, the Turkic soldiers were almost about to enter Yanmen County.
Chu Yang gritted his teeth and suddenly raised his voice: "All troops, listen to the order!"
Amidst the chaos, his voice was like a thunderbolt, resounding above everyone's head.
“Kill an enemy soldier and get a reward of ten! Kill an enemy general and get a reward of a hundred! Kill the enemy’s leader and reward ten thousand households!”
...!
Everyone was suffocated for a moment.
Chu Yang continued: "The soldiers and civilians of Yanmen County will be exempt from taxes for three years!"
Everyone's eyes were already shining with ecstasy, and even those who were originally a little afraid were afraid of it. The soldiers who defended the city also regained their courage at this time.
“From today on, I——”
At this point, he paused, and Shang Ruyi, who was standing next to him, could clearly see the unwillingness flashing in his eyes.
For a while, she also broke into a cold sweat.
However, after only a pause, Chu Yang gritted his teeth and finally said: "No more conquering Liaodong!"
With these words, a burst of ecstatic cheers suddenly broke out from the crowd. !
Some people even cried and shouted at the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The next moment, those soldiers cheered up one by one. The Turkic soldiers roaring outside they saw through the big hole in the city gate. Now, one by one in their eyes, they were already golden. If they could really capture and kill them, The leader of the enemy, then their lives, together with their families, will be prosperous!
So, the soldiers all drew their swords and roared to fight.
At the same time, the Turkic soldiers roared outside the city gate, and the heavy battering ram was like a giant's fist, hitting the damaged city gate hard.
There was only a loud roar.
The city gate was torn into pieces and exploded into countless fragments. Turkic soldiers immediately swarmed in!
