   Chapter 397 Vicious (1)

  Li Chang's eyes wandered, he coughed and replied, "I don't know anything."

   Sure enough, something happened.

   Otherwise, Li Chang should have said nothing, instead of "knowing nothing".

Concubine Su's eyes suddenly lit up, grabbed Li Chang's arm, and whispered in a hurry: "Achang, what do you know, tell me quickly. We are the mother and son of a direct relative, the closest people in this world. There is nothing to say. You? Tell me, is Lu Mingyu pretending to be sick?"

   "She didn't show her face all day, what did she do by pretending to be sick... Wait, did she sneak out of the palace?"

   Li Chang's heart jumped again, and he raised his head reflexively: "How did the concubine guess it?"

   Sure enough.

A suspicious light flashed in Concubine Su's eyes, she didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were almost terrifying: "She is arrogant and arrogant, and when she heard the slaughter of the Wei people outside Zhengde Gate, she would definitely not be able to hold back. With her temper, secretly Sneak out of the palace, maybe to take the opportunity to assassinate that Yan army commander!"

  Li Chang's small eyes widened and his mouth opened wide: "You guessed it all!"

   Concubine Su smiled smugly: "I don't understand the court, and I don't know about wars. However, I know Lu Mingyu too well!"

  Li Chang replied subconsciously: "Mother-in-law almost never deals with the second sister-in-law on weekdays, and she never said a few words. How can she know the second sister-in-law like this?"

   Concubine Su: "..."

Concubine Su's smile froze, and Zuo Gu said: "Lu Mingyu is afraid of leaking the news and is reluctant to disclose it, so he quietly leaves the palace by reporting his illness. Right now, the East Palace is empty, only Brother Jue and Sister Xuan, this is a rare good thing. opportunity."

good chance?

  What good opportunity?

  Li Chang was a little puzzled: "What the **** is the concubine talking about? Why can't I understand."

   Concubine Su's eyes flashed and she said casually: "It's nothing, I'll just say it casually." Then she told Li Chang: "This matter must be kept tight-lipped and don't say it out."

  Li Chang snorted angrily: "I didn't plan to tell anyone at first. If it wasn't for the concubine's repeated questions, I wouldn't have said it."

   Concubine Su smiled and coaxed Li Chang: "I guessed it, not what you said. It's so late, you hurry back to the palace to rest, don't tire yourself."

  Li Chang nodded and left.

   Concubine Su sat alone in the dormitory, not knowing what to do, she smiled sullenly: "Lu Mingyu, Lu Mingyu, I have swallowed my anger and stayed low for so long, and finally I have a good opportunity."

   "This time, I'll make you feel the pain! Hahaha!"

  …

   The next day, it was another sunny day.

   Outside the gate of Zhengde, the Yan army began to attack the city again.

   The generals of Wei who had slept all night with swords and guns in their hands, hurried up to the tower amid the sound of military orders. At a glance, it was another terrifying scene like Shura's hell.

   Hundreds of unarmed civilians were driven by the Yan army to the city gate, crying loudly.

   "Please, open the city gates!"

   "Please, give us a way to live. I don't want to die."

   Among these people, there are old people in their sixties and seventies, children of five or six years old, and frail women, all of them in ragged clothes and looking desperate.

   They didn't want to move, but were forced by the guns behind them to approach the city gate step by step, crying and kneeling and kowtow, begging the guards to open the city gate.

   Whoever does not move, does not cry or shout, will be hacked to death by the Yan army behind him.

   But no matter how miserable they cried, the city gate did not open. In the end, they were killed either by Yan's saber or by the random arrows fired by the soldiers defending the city.

   For three days in a row, it was like this.

   Hell on earth, but that's it.

   Some of the soldiers had red eyes and some turned their heads to the side. Some people with fragile minds could not help but cry in a low voice.

  General Liang stood on the tower, watching silently, the back of the hand holding the long sword showing blue veins.

   "General, you can't go on like this anymore." Deputy General Liu's voice resounded in pain: "In the past few days, more and more people have died outside the city gate. The soldiers can't hold it anymore!"

   Another lieutenant also said in a low voice: "Yes, the soldiers are not afraid to fight the enemy bravely, and they are not afraid to die under the sword of Yan's sword. How can they shoot arrows against the unarmed commoners of the Wei Dynasty!"

   Zhengdemen is safe and sound, but the military hearts of the guards have been severely damaged and are on the verge of collapse.

   If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will collapse without a fight.

   This is also the point of Yan Jun's viciousness.

  Lieutenant General Liu took the initiative to ask: "General, lead your troops out and fight the Yan army to the death!"

   Another lieutenant said immediately: "Let the subordinates go!"

  The rest of the generals took the initiative to ask for battle: "Subordinate, you will never withdraw your troops unless you kill this gang of Yangou."

   "General, let's go out of the city to kill the enemy!"

  General Liang clenched the handle of the knife tightly, his voice ran over like gravel, and his voice was low and hoarse, but very firm: "Leading the troops out of the city, hit the trick of the Yan army."

   "What we have to do is to stick to the city gate, and we must not allow the Yan army to invade the city. The safety of the capital is in our hands, and we cannot act impulsively."

   "I know you are indignant, so raise your longbow and shoot all the enemies to death."

   "Come here, drumming! Archery!"

   Three war drums, thump, thump, pounded heavily on the hearts of the soldiers. With red eyes, they each found a familiar position and raised their longbow.

   As soon as the war drum stopped, the long arrow flew out and fell down.

  The Yan army driving the people was shot by arrows. During this period, it was inevitable that people would be shot by arrows. To make matters worse, as soon as an arrow was fired at the city gate, the Yan army slashed and slashed the people with their swords, screaming and screaming one after another.

   The soldiers on the city tower were red-eyed, and the Yan army outside the city gate was also red-eyed. There were corpses all over the place and blood flowed into rivers.

  …

   This battle was fought into the evening again.

  The Yan army finally called Jin to withdraw, leaving behind dead bodies all over the place. Half of the corpses were the people of the Great Wei. The other half is Yan Jun.

  The thick smell of blood drifted down the wind to the nostrils, making it viscous and nauseating.

   I don't know who was the first to vomit, and soon, one after another, the soldiers on the city tower vomited cleanly. Even more sobbing and crying.

   "I am a soldier of the Great Wei, but now I am killing the common people of the Great Wei."

   "Yanman who deserves to be killed, I will tear them to pieces!"

  General Liang's heart was full of pain, and he didn't have the courage to look at the terrifying scene of the Asura **** under the city tower. The Yan army was ferocious and cunning, and maybe he didn't go far at all, but was staring at him in the dark. Once the city gates are opened to clean up the battlefield, the Yan army will take the opportunity to rush over, and it will be very bad.

  General Liang gave an order in a hoarse voice: "Leave a team to guard the city gate, and the rest will go to eat and rest."

   Then, General Liang turned and left.

  Lieutenant General Liu followed General Liang down the tower, and whispered anxiously: "General, how can we go on like this every day. We have to find a way."
