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 shot straight towards the emperor standing in the center of the long street.

"emperor!"

Someone shouted in the crowd, while more people flew towards the emperor.

However, none of them could compare to the meteor-like light in that moment.

The cold light shot towards Chu Yang, but barely grazed his ears and temples. The strong wind caused his temples to scatter, and suddenly flew into the sky with a loud sound, while the sharply screaming arrow struck hard and nailed his hair.

on the doorpost of the sedan chair behind him.

The large sedan chair was shaken by the force of the arrow.

Chu Yang was stunned. He couldn't believe what happened at this moment. He slowly raised his hand and touched his messy temples. Then he looked back at the sedan chair behind him before he even had time to react.

, Shang Ruyi on the side had already shouted to 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: "Back off! Back off!"

A group of 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 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 lady!"

Shang Ruyi raised her hands high and was about to respond to them. Suddenly, a big hand stretched out and grabbed her.

"...!"

Shang Ruyi was startled. When he looked back, he saw Chu Yang who was retreating under the protection of the imperial guards. His face was livid, his eyes were red, and the fear and anger on his face were intertwined, showing an almost ferocious look.

Despite his appearance, he grabbed her hand tightly and dragged her to his side.

He was also dragged to the center where all the Imperial 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 that even if the Turkic soldiers came, he would definitely punish her severely?

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. He only heard a few screams, and many people in the crowd were already struck by arrows.

land.

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 a place for shelter. But now, with a big hole in the city gate, what else can stop the Turks' attack? Do they have to use their weapons like last night?

Do you want flesh and blood to stop it?

Even if you really die, what's the point?

Those who survived would still have 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.

Once people's hearts are in chaos, the situation of the battle will immediately change.

No one was blocking the city gate anymore, but 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 dozen feet away from them.

Such a deterrent 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.

Along 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 proud 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 it can’t help but——

Seeing the Turkic soldiers outside the city gate getting closer and closer, Chu Yang's expression became more and more contradictory. Shang Ruyi shouted in a hissing voice: "Your Majesty, is it true that Your Majesty is determined to have his own way and must die here before he gives up!?"

These words were like thunder, exploding above Chu Yang's head.

His steps 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!"

In the midst of 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 nobles!"

...!

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 the soldiers guarding the city who had been a little afraid at first regained their courage at this time.

"Starting from today, I——"

Having said this, he paused, and Shang Ruyi, who was standing next to him, could clearly see the unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

For a moment, she broke into a cold sweat.

However, after only a pause, Chu Yang gritted his teeth and finally said: "No more conquering Liaodong!"

With just these words, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers of ecstasy!

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 were now like golden gold in their eyes. 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 siege ram was like a giant's fist, hitting the damaged city gate hard.

Only a loud roar was heard.
