Chapter 247: The Queen's Choice

Wang Xiaoming was in a trance, and kept muttering, "surrounded? Besieged? ......" Qin Shuang was a little worried, and kept saying on the side, "Xiao Ming, don't be like this, it's okay, it's okay......"

Wang Xiaoming roared: "What do you mean it's okay!" What does it mean to be fine! There is no danger to defend in Licheng, it is a city that I originally planned to abandon as soon as Xiang Yu came! There are less than a thousand defenders there, how can they stop the Chu army like a tiger and wolf! ”

Qin Shuang was shocked by his roar, and after Wang Xiaoming finished roaring, he was also shocked, and he came back to his senses, it was not Qin Shuang's fault, how could he treat Qin Shuang like this?

Wang Xiaoming hurriedly said, "Qin Shuang, I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry, so I ......"

Qin Shuangqiang squeezed out a relieved smile, "It's okay, it doesn't matter to me, I don't care, you ...... You must rescue Daiyu! Woohoo......"

In the end, Qin Shuang couldn't help crying.

Wang Xiaoming was so anxious that he said loudly, "The whole army will drop its baggage and move forward at full speed!" Make no mistake! ”

After receiving the king's military order, the well-trained Tiger Guard battalion immediately abandoned all equipment, and a thousand vanguard cavalry, led by Shen Kongkong, broke away from the team and took the lead in galloping towards Licheng, while the remaining infantry were all armed with short swords and marched lightly.

The thunderstorm still didn't stop, the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, Wang Xiaoming's carriage soon fell into the mud, Wang Xiaoming didn't want to think about it, he put an oilcloth coat on Qin Shuang's body, picked up Qin Shuang and got out of the car, and then ran at the front of the team.

The torrential rain slapped indiscriminately on Wang Xiaoming's face, his face was pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, Qin Shuang couldn't help but say, "You let me down, this robe should be enough for us to ...... together"

Wang Xiaoming gritted his teeth and said, "No need, I'm a man." ”

Qin Shuang hurriedly said: "What does this have to do with men and women!" ”

Wang Xiaoming said loudly: "Of course it matters!" I can't let my woman get drenched in the rain! ”

Qin Shuang's expression changed, and he didn't argue anymore, but after being silent, he said, "If you're tired, let me go, I don't want my man to be affected by myself." ”

Wang Xiaoming said "um", but soon he was startled again, "Hmm!?" Yours...... Man? ”

Qin Shuang said lightly, "Wait for you to rescue Daiyu, if you are still alive." ”

Wang Xiaoming's face suddenly showed a hint of a smile, and then he immediately put away his smile again, gritted his teeth, hugged Qin Shuang, and continued to run wildly in the mud......

The situation in Licheng was already very unoptimistic, and in the official office in the city, Xiong Xin trembled when he heard the thunder, and he was frightened three days ago.

That day, his convoy had just arrived outside Licheng, Xiong Daiyu had already greeted him outside the city with joy, and when the sister and brother reunited, both of them were overjoyed.

It's a pity, before the two of them could say a few words, there was a burst of dust in the distance, only to see thousands of Chu cavalry shouting over, Xiong Xin's convoy was Xiang Yu's subordinates, seeing the shape in front of him, he immediately understood that Xiang Yu wanted to kill Xiong Xin, so he immediately drew out his sword and aimed at Xiong Xin and Xiong Daiyu, although Xiong Daiyu was weak, but because he had followed Wang Xiaoming in and out of the military camp for a long time, at the critical moment, he also showed the pride of not letting the women have their eyebrows, only to see her give an order, and the soldiers who went out of the city with her immediately drew their swords and struck, killed everyone in the convoy, and then fought and retreated, and the group retreated into the city, and then Xiong Daiyu immediately sent people back to the capital to move the rescue soldiers.

However, there are only more than 1,000 defenders in the city, and there are thousands of elite Chu troops outside, how can the distant water save the near fire, a few days later, the defenders in the city have suffered more than half of the casualties, and there are less than 500 soldiers left, while the thousands of Chu troops outside the city are determined to win, although they have arrived in the territory of Daiguo, now as long as the reinforcements of Daiguo arrive, they will be swallowed by the sea like first-class fine sand, but they have no intention of retreating.

Xiong Daiyu and they have been holding on for three days, today is the fourth day, and the shouts and killings outside are continuous, and they have reached the point where they can't hold on.

But...... Wang Xiaoming's reinforcements still haven't come!

Xiong Xin hid in the back hall, whining and crying, "Sister, doesn't my brother-in-law want us anymore......"

Xiong Daiyu had a cold face and said, "Shut up!" Your brother-in-law is not like that, they will definitely come to our rescue! ”

Xiong Xin was reprimanded by her, wow, crying even more.

Xiong Daiyu's heart is so disturbed, but this younger brother is not sensible, she is really cold to the extreme, she was a weak woman, but now she is the last pillar of Licheng, she can only choose to hold on!

Suddenly, a soldier covered in blood rushed in, and then knelt on the ground with a thud "Queen...... We can't hold it anymore...... We're still ......"

Xiong Daiyu's face was pale, and her heart was already in turmoil, but she still had to keep her composure, "Is it really impossible to hold on?" So you want to surrender? ”

The soldier looked frightened and said resolutely, "No! His subordinates were just a peasant at the beginning, natural disasters and man-made disasters, bandits were rampant, three meals were not continued, displaced, if it were not for the king to take me in, I would have starved to death on the streets, this grace will never be forgotten, now the queen is in trouble, the little one should repay with his life, how dare he say it! ”

Xiong Daiyu nodded, "Don't worry, Ben Hou will take her life to guarantee that the king's reinforcements will arrive soon, and Ben Hou will never let her brothers die in despair, if that's the case, Ben Hou will live and die with her brothers!" ”

Xiong Daiyu's words moved the soldiers on the ground.

Just then, another soldier rushed in: "Queen! The East Gate Tower has been occupied by the Chu army, and the brothers are now engaged in street battles with the Chu army! ”

Xiong Daiyu's face turned pale, and as soon as the city tower was broken, the street fighting was useless, it was nothing more than adding a few more unjust souls and delaying the time.

Xiong Daiyu smiled miserably, "I know, you go and inform the brothers, you don't have to resist, you all go to make a living." ”

The two soldiers exclaimed, "Queen, what do you mean?" ”

Xiong Daiyu said in a deep voice, "The queen has already accepted her fate, I think that the queen was just a slave and maid called by someone, and I was pitied by God, so that I ascended to the throne of the queen, and now since God no longer has mercy on me, why should I struggle to die again, increase the soul in vain, and let the brothers run for their lives......"

A group of wounded soldiers gathered outside the door, and when they heard Xiong Daiyu's words, they couldn't stop crying.

Xiong Daiyu glanced at the soldiers outside, and said slowly, "As the acting king, I will die today, if you can escape and see the king, please transfer a word on my behalf, just say, Daiyu really loves him." ”

Saying that, Xiong Daiyu's heart was sour, and she couldn't help covering her mouth, but her tears fell straight down.

The soldiers rushed into anger and shouted "No! Let's go together! We are deeply gracious to the king, and even if our liver and brain are smeared today, we will not let the queen hurt in the slightest! ”

"That's right! We swear to escort the queen out of the city! ”

"Oh yes! Isn't it just death! It's a big deal that I don't want this life, which king and eight lambs dare to block the way, Lao Tzu will pull him on his back! ”

Xiong Daiyu said sharply: "Shut up!" My brother and I, Chu Jun is determined to win, take me with you, how can you escape! ”

"No matter! Die to die together! ”

Xiong Daiyu had a cold face, took off the hairpin on her head, and pointed it at her throat, "If you still treat me as a queen, let me go now!" Otherwise, I will die in front of you!" ”

The soldiers were dumbfounded, the killing sound of the Chu army outside was getting closer and closer, and it would be too late if they didn't leave.

The soldier who came in at the beginning to report deeply bowed to Xiong Daiyu, "Since the queen has made up her mind, the little one dare not disobey, the queen take care!" ”

The soldiers behind exclaimed, "Liu Xiong! You bastard, what do you say! How dare you leave the queen and flee alone! I'll cut you right now! ”

As he spoke, soldiers were about to rush in.

Liu Xiong was closest to the queen, and when he got up, he suddenly took out his hand and snatched Xiong Daiyu's hairpin, and Xiong Daiyu was shocked.

Liu Xiong said in a deep voice: "Liu Xiong is rude today, he will kill the queen in the future, Liu Xiong will never complain!" But today, Liu Xiong is determined to lead the queen out of the encirclement! ”

After speaking, he grabbed Xiong Daiyu's hand and rushed outside, "Brothers! If you're not afraid of death, kill it with me! ”

The remaining less than three hundred soldiers were boiling all of a sudden, and they tore off their armor one after another, exposing their chests, and supporting Xiong Daiyu and Xiong Xin to kill outward......

On the muddy road, a good horse chasing the wind was speeding on the road, splashing countless muddy water, Wang Xiaoming on the horse was already exhausted, he had been on the road for two days, the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, but his pace was getting faster and faster, he didn't have time to rest, not a moment, Qin Shuang didn't dare to tell him to rest again, because she knew that he couldn't rest.

They had already thrown off all the infantry, and even caught up with the empty cavalry troops, and finally they saw Licheng, but there was no longer a flag of Daiguo on Licheng, and there was a sound of fighting inside, and the sound was getting quieter and quieter.

Wang Xiaoming's heart rose to his throat.

His eyes were blood-red, "Kill!" Kill me in! ”

The horses let out a long neighing and whistled towards the city.

In a long street in the middle of the city, the ground was strewn with corpses, and there were less than twenty soldiers left, but they held short blades in their hands, and there was no fear on their faces.

They were surrounded by Chu troops, and it was impossible for them to escape.

Xiong Daiyu's face was wooden and dull, and her eyes stared blankly at the corpses on the ground, one of which was her younger brother, Xiong Xin.

Just now, he was pierced in the chest by a sword from the back, and he whimpered.

Xiong Daiyu let out a long breath, and then said coldly, "Who is in charge of the Chu army!" ”

A hideous-looking evil man stepped forward, stared at Xiong Daiyu in the rain, with an evil light in his eyes, and said with a cruel smile, "It's down, Zhao Wude!" Hehe, dare to ask the beauty what is going on, hehe......"

Sure enough, people are as their name suggests, and they have no virtue at all.

Xiong Daiyu sneered: "Let these soldiers go." ”

Zhao Wude sneered, "Why, do you say you can let it go?" Unless you're willing to ...... Hey! ”

Liu Xiong shouted violently, "Bold thief, dare to speak falsely, suffer death!" ”

After that, a sword stabbed him, Zhao Wude snorted coldly, and without him doing anything, several Chu soldiers immediately smashed the seriously injured Liu Xiong to death with a halberd!

Xiong Daiyu said coldly, "I said, let them go!" ”

The smile on Zhao Wude's face became even more shameless: "Didn't I say it? As long as you're willing to ......."

Xiong Daiyu sneered: "The mourning family is the acting queen!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Jun let out an exclamation, they never expected that the woman in front of them would be the acting queen!

Xiong Daiyu sneered, "The mourning family and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, are old acquaintances, I believe that Xiang Yu will definitely hope to see the mourning family, and if he gets the mourning family, he will have the capital to negotiate with the acting king, which can allow him to take a big advantage, if the mourning family dies, guess what will happen to Xiang Yu, what will he do to you!" And what about the acting king? Do you guess if the acting king will send the whole country to hunt you down! ”

The expression on Zhao Wude's face changed, the bravery of the soldiers of Daiguo, he could have seen it, more than 1,000 people actually killed two thousand elites of the Chu army, and none of them surrendered, if everyone in the Daiguo soldiers is like this, then the Chu army really has no chance of winning, I heard that the king and the queen have a deep relationship, if she is in the hands, it can indeed make Xiang Yu take a big advantage, if the queen is dead now, how can the king of the dynasty give up? When the time comes, if Yi Yiyu really loses, the king of that generation will definitely not let him go!

This kind of thing is not something that a small pioneer like herself can decide when she joins the army, or it is safest to send her to Xiang Yu and let him decide.

So Zhao Wude immediately said, "Okay! I promise you! ”

Then with a wave of his hand, the Chu army immediately gave way to a road.

But the soldiers of Daiguo were already red-eyed, how could they leave the queen to escape alone, but they were already at the end of their crossbows, and they could no longer escort the queen out of the city, and there was only one choice, only to see them draw their swords and kill themselves.

Xiong Daiyu let out a scream: "No! ”

The righteousness of the soldiers on behalf of the country made the Chu army speechless in horror, and in the face of such an army, they sighed to themselves.

Zhao Wude's hand trembled slightly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please go down with the queen to see the overlord!" ”

Several Chu soldiers cautiously pressed forward, Xiong Daiyu laughed desperately, and then suddenly picked up a broken blade on the ground and inserted it into his chest!
