Chapter 446: The enemy is approaching the city
I was caught off guard and my head went blank for a moment. The body holding her was trembling slightly, and the force was so strong that it almost squeezed her soul out of her body.
It’s like falling into a mist, surrounded by unknown mountain roars, tsunamis, whale waves and crocodile waves. You can’t tell when they will hit...
Liang Huan is stiff. Stand and wait until you wake up to reach out and push him away.
"High——"
Before he finished speaking, he just raised his hand and before his fingertips touched him, he let go.
The secret passage was dark, and Liang Han could not see the expression on his face clearly.
"Let's go." Gao Qian took a step back, his voice low and soft.
After saying that, he didn’t even look at her, turned around and left, as if the hug just now was an illusion.
There was someone waiting at the exit holding a torch high, and there was a fat man beside him, who stretched his neck to look into the secret passage, very anxious.
It wasn't until he saw the two of them coming out of the secret passage safely that his frown relaxed slightly.
"Empress, you, you are finally back..."
Qian Ming's throat was choked, his chubby hands wiped away his tears, his small eyes reflected the firelight, bright and red red.
The people guarding outside all looked over.
Gao Qian lifted Qian Ming's collar and pushed him aside without looking at him.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I will treat you like a big stone and throw you off the city wall."
Qian Ming cowered his neck and covered his mouth.
At this time, General Zhao Yan had led his lieutenants to come forward. The Zhou army's offensive was very fierce, and the troops in the city could not sustain it for long.
Liang Huan frowned and glanced at Gao Qian, but before he opened his mouth, he heard him say: "Qian Ming, send the queen to rest."
After that, he took the people and left.
"Wait a minute," Liang Huan took two steps forward, "I will go with your Majesty."
Gao Qian was silent for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Liang Huan followed Gao Qian up the mountain. On the city wall, there were roars and wailings all over the city, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and burnt flesh.
Looking at the past, as expected, most of the soldiers went into battle with injuries. If they faced the Zhou army head-on, there would be no chance of winning.
Looking at the large rocks prepared, there are not many left.
Wang Tingyue led people to drag Yu Wenke forward, but because rockets kept shooting into the city from outside the wall, he could not get close to the wall.
Liang Huan thought for a while and suggested placing it in a prominent position. When the soldiers saw the enemy commander captured, their morale immediately increased.
At this time, a general came in a hurry to report that the Zhou army was concentrating its efforts to ram the city wall with its chariots, and gaps were exposed in some places.
The rammed earth wall cannot resist everything. If the Zhou army does not retreat, the wall will collapse sooner or later.
Some people suggested collecting cloth from the city to make thick and wide curtains to reduce the power of the buffer vehicles.
Gao Qian immediately ordered people to get cloth, and personally led people to build fences to block the gap in the city wall.
Liang Huan led Qian Ming to make curtains together with the disabled women and children in the city.
After the curtain was ready, the force of rushing the car suddenly decreased. Seeing this, Zhou Jun tied pine branches and hemp poles to long poles, dipped them in oil, and went to burn the curtain.
In response, Gao Qian ordered people to use hook knives to cut off the burning pine branches and hemp poles. The fireballs fell one by one, but burned Zhou Jun himself, causing many casualties.
Although the situation has improved, he still dare not take it lightly. Liang Huan told Qian Ming to lead his people to collect materials from the local area, found a lot of nettles, and after simple treatment, spread them under the city wall. Although the Zhou army was armored The wraps, exposed face and hands can become painful and itchy upon contact.
After Liang Huan whispered a few words to Wang Tingyue, he looked at Yu Wenke himself.
Liang Huan had no reaction to Yu Wenke's fierce eyes, and only looked at him when he was giving him the injection. It was not until dawn that the roars under the wall gradually weakened. Gao Qian ordered Zhao Yan to lock Yu Wenke and climb to the highest point of the city wall.
Liang Huan thought for a while and decided to follow him without showing his face. He only hid behind the battlement and looked out quietly.
After a night of fighting, the soldiers inside and outside the city were all bruised and bloody and exhausted.
Suddenly, when he saw Yu Wenke, there was a roar outside the wall.
Zhou Jun had already heard rumors that the Duke of Guo was attacked and captured by the Qi army, but they still doubted it as the Duke did not show up.
Now the Duke was escorted and appeared in front of the two armies. Suddenly the Zhou army was shouting and the crowd was in a rage.
Compared with the panic of Zhou Jun, Qi Jun straightened his back and had high fighting spirit.
Liang Huan glanced around the city. The generals leading the army were all close confidants of Yu Wenke.
She had seen it in the martial arts arena.
Liang Han lowered his head, his mind turning over and over again.
She originally wanted to use Yu Wenke to blackmail the Zhou army into retreating, but now she is afraid that she will change her mind...
"Empress, you should go and rest."
Qian Ming The round head came closer, startling Liang Han.
She did not answer Qian Ming's question, but exhaled and raised her eyes to look at Gao Qian, who was also staring at her.
Liang Huan thought about it for a while and said to Gao Qian: "Your Majesty, please kill Yu Wenke."
"Why?" Gao Qian was surprised.
Liang Huan quickly glanced around, stood on tiptoes and put his ears to his ears, and lowered his voice to explain a few words.
As his mind wandered, warm breath poured into his ears, and a warm current instantly flowed to his limbs and bones, passing through every corner of his body.
He narrowed his eyes and remained motionless.
After listening to her brief words, his eyes became darker and darker, and the smile on his lips became thicker and thicker.
Liang Huan looked over again and saw that Zhao Yan was still negotiating loudly with the people below the city.
Seeing that Yu Wenke was captured, several of Yu Wenke's cronies immediately made eye contact, and later simply got together, seemingly discussing ways to rescue him.
Although Yu Wenke was gagged and a sword was placed on his neck, he still held his head high and screamed, as if he was lecturing the soldiers under the city. He looked fierce and did not show any signs of failure. In the hands of the enemy, the momentum and prestige are reduced.
Compared with his arrogant and domineering appearance, Zhao Yan next to him was too gentle, which made his aura weaker.
She sounded like nothing more than a series of indecipherable whines, but a few of her cronies below the city seemed to understand.
One of them took a step forward and shouted loudly: "You have been guarding the isolated city for many days, but no reinforcements have been seen. Why risk your lives to hold on? Why not surrender as soon as possible!"
"Qi Jun listens. "Now, who of you will release the Duke of the country, be granted official titles, be rewarded with gold and silver, and give beauties in silk and silk as gifts? This is not only a way to survive, but also a rapid rise that you will never be able to achieve in Qi State——"
There was a sharp sound of a long sword being unsheathed in his ears. Before Zhao Yan could react, a warm and bright red blood mist spurted out, splashing people and objects around him.
The man who was whimpering a moment ago, in the blink of an eye, his blood-ball-like head fell from the city wall with a thud, and rolled out a long way.
The people above and below the city were silent for a moment. Some people didn't even react. They just felt something flashing past. They lowered their heads and followed the bloody mark to look for it, staring at it. Looking again, I was shocked to realize that it was the head of Yu Wenke, the Duke of Jin...
Everyone looked up again and saw a man in black clothes standing next to a headless corpse, gloomy and pale. His face was spattered with blood. He held up the bloody sword and looked down at them with a cold tone.
“I will use your coach’s head as a sacrifice to Tuyang City. Anyone who attacks will suffer the same fate!”
