She has escaped countless dangers, is she really going to die in Tianchi country today? She was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that she would not see Yan Li when she was dying, and did not tell Yan Li that she was innocent about Zixuan and Chu Fei'er, and was framed by Ziyan!
Seeing that the Imperial Guard's defeat was decided, Li Hao finally showed a joyful smile from the bottom of his heart this day, with coldness and ferocity mixed together on his tough face.
"Order the follow-up army to continue to climb the city! Take down the palace in one go!"
Another wave of rebels, about 10,000 people, climbed up the north gate tower along the ladder.
"Concubine Xue Gui, what should we do now?" Deputy General Long asked while fighting, a rebel hit him on the back with an iron spine, annoyed him, grabbed the knife with both hands, and slashed at the rebel, puff! Cut the opponent into two pieces directly! "Damn it, the prince who has taken refuge in me will kill me one by one!"
Even though Rong Changan's swordsmanship is exquisite, he still feels very difficult under the siege of so many rebels.
"Lieutenant Long, I think Li Hao must have almost all the soldiers who were attacked at the Sixteen Gates moved here. You send people to the other gates and ask them to send troops to help quickly, otherwise the gates will be broken!"
"receive!"
Lieutenant Long swung his sword to kill and slash fiercely, but he just couldn't break through the encirclement. If you can't get out of the siege, how can you call for reinforcements
Suddenly, a red arrow flew past Lieutenant General Long's shoulder and nailed a rebel's throat, causing the rebel to fall to the ground and die.
"Vice General Long, I'm here to reinforce you!" The king joined the fight with a treasured sword in his hand, "Today, this old man is talking about being a teenager and killing you scum!"
Because he was surrounded by guards, the rebels basically couldn't hurt him.
Rong Chang'an and Vice General Long were extremely surprised to see that the king was already fighting in chaos. If there is something wrong with him, then all the guards will have no leader, and they will definitely surrender.
"King, you go downstairs quickly, I and Lieutenant Long are here!" Rong Changan fought to the side of the king and tried his best to protect him.
Vice General Long also went to the king's side, and formed the king's guardians with Rong Chang'an: "Concubine Xue Gui is right, king, you should go downstairs, it is very dangerous here!"
The knife in the king's hand didn't stop, the corner of his mouth raised, and he looked at the rebels in disdain: "It is because of the danger that I want to advance and retreat with you! I am not afraid of these small things! I think I was also a capable soldier back then. A man who is good at fighting! He is old now, but he is not useless."
The soldiers of the guards saw the king coming up the tower, and they all killed the rebels who came up in a wave with one to ten.
However, despite their courage, the rebels were outnumbered and able to repel wave after wave of their attacks, but could not disintegrate them all. After resisting several times, the guards were exhausted, and the rest were exhausted.
Seeing another wave of rebels rushing up, the corner of Deputy Long's mouth raised a smile for the final battle.
"Concubine Xue, it's a pity that a beauty of your generation was buried with us in the palace of Tianchi Kingdom. I really wronged you!"
It was at this time that Deputy General Long dared to say this, otherwise he would never dare to be so presumptuous when nothing happened on weekdays.
Rong Changan didn't mind either, and responded with a smile: "I can fight with you warriors, and I will die without complaint!"
"King, Vice General Long, Concubine Xue, look!" an unknown guard pointed at the bottom of the tower and shouted.
Rong Chang'an's eyes shifted, and he found that under the palace, the flames were soaring into the sky, and countless citizens with sticks, boards, swords, shovels, hoes, and brooms were walking towards the tower without hesitation.
"Are they..." Lieutenant Long asked.
Rong Chang'an's smile smudged his whole face: "They are here to help us, they are here to help their king!"
Lieutenant Long's gray eyes suddenly brightened: "Really? Then we are saved!"
The leading citizens shouted to the tower: "The king regards us as children, so we naturally treat the king as his parents. Now that the king is in trouble, can we stand by and watch? Besides, the prince is an ambitious man, greedy and despicable. If he is allowed to do it Will we have a good life without our king?"
Thousands of citizens shouted together: "Fight for the king! Fight for Tianchi country!"
The earth-shattering voice frightened the rebels, but the blood of Vice General Long and others boiled.
"Kill the tower and drive the rebels out of the palace!"
The leader shouted, and the citizens rushed up the city tower like a tide. The rebels seemed to have seen a scourge, and their faces were ashen. Where dared to resist, they climbed down the ladder to escape for their lives. It's just that the ladders are limited, so many people can't climb up in a hurry, and I don't know how many people fell down the city and fell into the moat and died.
Seeing that they could not escape, they all raised their hands and surrendered.
Li Hao waited and watched in front of the battle. Originally, seeing Rong Changan and the others being driven to a corner, he thought they were done. Suddenly, there was a loud shout, and the rebels fell down the city one after another. His bright eyes suddenly became serious. The lips were trembling all the time.
"what happened?"
There was someone who fled back in front, weeping and crying under his horse: "Report to General Li, the citizens are armed and help the king. We are outnumbered and driven down! The casualties are too numerous to count!"
Li Hao always thought that the citizens were useless, but he didn't want to be blocked by the citizens at this time. The fantasy of killing "Concubine Xue" was once again shattered!
"These beggars, I should have buried them all alive!" Li Hao gritted his teeth to no avail.
After so many rounds of attacks, the rebels also suffered heavy casualties. As a last resort, they had to rest first and then make plans.
"Order the army to retreat and rest, waiting for the next order!"
The subordinates waved the red flag, and the rebels in the city fled back to the camp in a swarm, like a bereaved dog, like a fish slipping through the net.
On the top of the city, Rong Chang'an, Deputy General Long, the king, who were already extremely tired, as well as the citizens and guards all over the city showed happy smiles and cheered happily.
"King, the rebels are retreating!" Lieutenant Long's hand holding the broadsword was already trembling, and now even if he was asked to take off his battle robe, his hands would no longer work. If the rebels attacked again, he really didn't know they could still Can't hold on.
The king's grateful eyes swept over all the soldiers and people. Some had blood on their faces, some had injured hands and feet, and some had their waists chopped off.
"Thank you, everyone, and the citizens of the capital! Without you, the palace would not have survived just now." When he said that, the king's eyes flickered.
Some citizens said: "The king is for everyone, and everyone is the king. This is the best of both worlds. The king does not need to be so grateful!"
"This is the reward of a righteous king. If the prince is changed, how can the people die for him!" Rong Chang'an said to the king, but the sternness on her face did not disappear. Although Li Hao stopped attacking, it didn't mean they gave up attacking the palace. If Yan Li still can't break through the capital, Rong Chang'an and others still can't avoid the end of the city being destroyed.
Outside the capital city of Tianchi, the night was as quiet as water. Yan Li rode his horse around the city wall to check the military situation. There were endless noises in the palace, and his heart could not settle down.
"Take a look, what's going on over there?"
The soldiers around replied: "It's a little far away, so I can't see clearly what happened."
Although I don't know what happened, there is no doubt that the rebels and the guards are fighting.
If he can't break through the capital again, Concubine Xue Gui will be in danger!
Yan Li was nervous in his heart, but on the surface he was extremely calm.
The soldiers did not have such qualities: "Yan Tiantian, there is no way for us to go on like this! If the rebels break through the palace, we can only be the prince's captives!"
Although Yan Li didn't express his opinion, he was more anxious than them! However, the siege of the city like a storm will only damage the soldiers and generals, and it will be useless at all.
