Chapter 1089 We Are Willing to Live and Die with This City!
"Plop! Plop! Plop!"
As loud noises fell, more than a thousand soldiers guarding the city knelt down: "We are willing to live and die with this city!"
Upon seeing this, some civil servants also knelt down and laughed loudly: "I am willing to live or die with this city!"
"Boom boom boom..."
In an instant, everyone on the city wall knelt down.
“I am willing to live and die with this city!!!”
“I am willing to live and die with this city!!!”
"..."
Millions of people in the city shouted in unison.
The atmosphere in the entire world was completely pushed to its peak, and countless people showed determination on their faces.
If they might have been afraid of death before, but after witnessing Yun Yi's actions, the fear in their hearts no longer existed, replaced by bloodiness and determination.
This kind of movement can be described as earth-shattering, causing the army outside the city to change their colors, and they were all shocked by the momentum.
"Forcibly inciting public sentiment?"
The Dai Wang outside the city looked at all this with a hint of ridicule, then looked at Yun Yi and sneered: "This woman is not simple, but it's a pity that she is just a woman after all!"
"Not even gods can save you today!"
He raised his hand slightly, and an extremely indifferent voice came out from his mouth: "Attack the city, leave no one behind!"
As soon as these words came out!
Then someone shouted loudly: "The king has an order to attack the city, leaving no one behind, no one left behind!"
"Hoo ho ho..."
The originally silent army of hundreds of thousands moved at the sound of a question, and all took a step forward, and every piece of siege baggage was pushed forward.
Such as door-breaking logs, siege ladders, kerosene, trebuchets, etc., the number of them is mind-numbing.
"Queen Mother, please step aside!"
The commander of the Forbidden Army, Ma Yuanxun, roared angrily, then turned back to the city defenders and said, "Is your blood still warm? Are you afraid of death?!"
"Fight to the death!!!"
"Fight to the death!!!"
On the city wall, 30,000 defenders roared in unison, then took a step forward and unsheathed their long swords.
The number of rebels is no less than three hundred thousand!
The total number of all of them is only thirty thousand. Although the disparity in combat power is too large, so what?
It’s just a matter of death!
"Fellows and fellow villagers, if you are not afraid of death, please come forward. Today, we will let the rebels know that even if they die, they must pay the price!"
Li Shanyuan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, laughed sadly.
"Count me in!"
A swarthy man holding a child in the city responded and silently handed the child to his wife beside him: "If I die, you can remarry and raise our son well."
After that, he resolutely stepped onto the tower, leaving behind only the crying child and his wife who was wiping tears secretly.
A down-and-out young man knelt heavily in front of an old man: "Master, the national crisis is at the forefront. Please forgive me for my grandson not being able to provide for you until the end of your life..."
"Child, go ahead..."
The old man stretched out his old hand and caressed his face, and said tremblingly: "You take a step ahead of me, and I will come to find you after I have collected the bones for you..."
The young man nodded solemnly and climbed up the tower resolutely. A big man from the Forbidden Army handed over a bow: "Can you do it?"
"meeting!"
The young man took it and directly pulled the bow into the shape of a full moon: "My family is poor and I often go hunting in the mountains..."
"Okay, stand behind me in a moment!"
The big man from the Forbidden Army grinned: "You come back after I'm dead. If I'm not dead, you can collect my bones for me and take them back to my family. By the way, they all call them Da Lao Hei. What about you..."
"My name is Ding Peng..."
The young man's eyes suddenly turned red.
"And I……"
"If a man dies, he will die..."
"Swish, swish, swish..."
In less than a stick of incense, hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people in the city stood up one after another. These people spontaneously stood behind the city gate.
Due to insufficient weapons and equipment, most of them did not have protective armor or even weapons to hand.
Some held wooden sticks in their hands, some held iron rakes for digging out manure, and some held two kitchen knives...
Yun Yi almost shed tears watching this scene.
She was entrusted with an important task by the late emperor!
But from the beginning to the end, I never had a great sense of recognition of my responsibility in this world. To be precise, I resisted!
But here we are!
She just felt that she would die immediately!
No regrets!
"kill!"
The commanders among the rebels all shouted.
"Boom..."
The leading army of hundreds of thousands stepped forward with a bang, carrying a huge ramming log and heading straight for the city gate.
The siege ladders were pushed forward, the trebuchets were launched one after another, and the overwhelming shields smashed directly against the city wall.
At this moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly changed, like a flash flood, and the sound of fierce killing covered everything.
"Fire arrows!!!"
Ma Yuanxun shouted loudly on top of the city wall.
Among the nearly 50,000 soldiers guarding the city, 10,000 archers stepped out in unison, nocking arrows and pulling strings regardless of the flying boulders!
"Puff thump thump thump..."
Some screamed and some fell down!
But every time someone falls, someone will step up to replace him!
"Swish, swish, swish..."
An overwhelming rain of arrows shot down from the city wall, hitting the siege army like dense raindrops!
Some of the rebels fell, and some screamed!
But compared with the total number of people, the number of people lost is like pebbles falling into the sea, making no waves!
King Dai sat in the carriage, looking at the scenes in front of him expressionlessly, as if the death of life had no effect on him at all.
"King Dai, why don't you divide the troops into four groups and attack from four city gates at the same time?"
A counselor said: "They have few troops and even scarcer equipment. They must be unable to defend four city gates at the same time. As long as any city gate is breached, it will be their death..."
"What's the hurry?"
King Dai peeled an orange and ate it while saying: "I have the advantage in troops. If I want to fight, I must completely crush all their hopes. In this way, the other seven guys will know how powerful I am..."
"The Seventh King is on his way here now. I am worried that they will pick up the ready-made one..." The counselor hesitated.
"Noisy!"
King Dai glanced at him coldly!
Just this one glance!
The other party hurriedly apologized and then said nothing.
"Boom boom..."
As the earth-shaking sound intensified, the siege battle entered a white-hot state, and people continued to die.
Thousands of soldiers defending the city died in an instant, with corpses constantly falling down and people constantly filling up without fear of death.
Yun Yi clenched her fists tightly and had already burst into tears: "Your Majesty, take a good look, these people died for you, for my royal family..."
The little emperor covered his eyes with his hands and shouted in fear.
At this moment, the siege army was less than ten feet away from the north gate with the battering ram. As long as they got close, the tall north gate would be knocked open in a moment.
Ma Yuanxun roared: "Archers, you must not let them get close to the city gate. Even if they die, you must hold on for me. The national teacher is on the way back to help..."
