Although the matter of the enemy army committing the capital was suppressed by Ye Gucheng, the tense atmosphere still infected the people of the city, they are not idiots, how can they not see anything unusual.

The two city gates, heavily armed, allowed to enter but not allowed to go out, just by these few points, people have smelled the breath of war, for a while, the joy is no more, the people are panicked.

Military Chamber.

Ye Gucheng rubbed his tired eyes and said slowly, "Is there any news of the enemy?"

Could it be that our army is too worried, the enemy army should not have the courage to invade the royal capital, and disguised our army may not be able to evacuate the kingdom safely. ”

Those who have this kind of thinking account for more than half of the generals in the hall.

"I hope so!" Ye Gucheng sighed lightly, but he didn't have much bottom in his heart!

Chuanjun Barracks.

Tuoba stood in despair with the 20,000 troops, and said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, I know that many of you have doubts in your hearts, and you still don't know why you are here, but none of you have raised any doubts, General Ben is very pleased, General Ben is proud to have you!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

The adjutant general started, the whole army echoed, and the fighting spirit was high!

Tuoba nodded with satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Tuoba Iron Cavalry has always been the pride of the kingdom, you go into battle to kill the enemy without fear of life and death, all of you are warriors of the kingdom, and the kingdom is proud of you! Today, we are going to complete the last battle of the kingdom, in front, hundreds of miles away, there is a city, the capital of the king of China! Do you have the confidence to take it down and make immortal contributions to the king and the country!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The whistling was overwhelming.

Tuoba Jue raised his hands, his voice stopped suddenly, he looked around, and continued: "Soldiers, it is my duty to defend the country, and it is the supreme honor to share worries for the king, the third prince once said that if China becomes a trend, the Nansheng country will be in danger, we are the soldiers of the Nansheng country, and we will never allow any country to threaten." After this battle, no matter whether we succeed or fail, we must die, and if we die, we must die worthily, and if we can't set foot on the king and kill Ye Gucheng, the commander of Huaxia, our death will be meaningless. ”

"Set foot on the royal capital and kill Ye Gucheng!"

All of them shouted in unison.

"Soldiers, use your swords to write the majesty of Tuoba Iron Cavalry, and set off!"

An army of 20,000 marched straight to the royal capital.

The royal capital.

"Report!" the guards walked in quickly, saluted and said: "Commander Qiqi, a hundred miles away from the West Gate, a large army suddenly appeared, about 20,000 people, looking at the line, it is my Chinese army, and there are many siege equipment in the army. ”

Ye Gucheng's color changed, and he realized that he had made a fatal mistake, and the siege equipment in the Chuanjun military camp was ignored! Of course, he could not have imagined that the enemy army would make a detour to attack the Chuanjun military camp first. "Where's the North Gate?"

"There is no news yet from the North Gate. ”

"The order was given that only 2,000 defenders of the north gate were left, and the rest rushed to the west gate. ”

"Yes!" the guard walked away quickly.

Ye Gucheng took a deep breath, turned his head to stare at a general, and said, "Quickly enter the palace, tell Xiangguo, and immediately let the queen, prince, and hundreds of officials and their families enter the secret room." ”

"Yes!"

On Wangdu Avenue, a large number of soldiers marched quickly, and the atmosphere was tense, and the people watching on both sides could easily feel it, and for a while, there were many discussions.

On the square, Ye Gucheng stood proudly on a high platform, looking at the surrounding crowds and saying: "Citizens! You must have guessed it! The royal capital is once again ushering in a crisis, the difference is that this time it is more ferocious than ever, a group of robbers from foreign countries, attacking the border and killing the people all the way, within a few hours, the soldiers are coming to the royal capital." ”

The audience was in an uproar.

"Citizens, Ben Shuai is incompetent and cannot let you live in peace and stability, although Ben Shuai tries his best to maintain the stability and prosperity of the kingdom, there are always some people who do not see us well. ”

"The commander doesn't need to blame himself, the thieves bully the kingdom like this, we are willing to live and die with the commander, and swear to drive out the enemy. ”

Among the people, a young man shouted with righteous indignation, which instantly caused a large number of echoes.

"No, you are the hope of the kingdom, fighting a war is the duty of the soldiers, and the army of the kingdom is also rushing towards the king, so this commander asks you, hide, don't cause turmoil within the kingdom, and protect yourself! In this way, you have already helped the kingdom!" Ye Gucheng said this, and said loudly again: "But Ben Shuai promised you that the city is in the people, the city is broken, and if the king is lost, Ben Shuai will be the first to die in the country." ”

"You can't have a commander, you can't have a kingdom without a commander!"

"Please think twice, commander. ”

The people were excited and knelt on the ground.

"The kingdom is the kingdom of the people of China, even if Ben Shuai dies, the son of Ben Shuai, the real king of Huaxia, will inherit the will of Ben Shuai, defend the country and the people, and ensure the prosperity of China for all generations. ”

"Commander!"

This time, not only the people wept bitterly, but all the soldiers also wept.

The sun, I don't know when it was covered by dark clouds, under the gloomy sky, Jin Ge Iron Horse, an abnormal atmosphere slowly condensed.

Ye Gucheng stared at the fixed catapults under the city, his heart began to sink non-stop, and he knew the power of the catapult better than anyone else.

Seeing that everything was ready, Tuoba Jue's expression was cold, and he waved his big hand forward.

Whining!!

The horn of attack sounded in the army, and a large number of soldiers either carried siege ladders or pushed hammer carts, roaring and charging, while catapults swung boulders and leaped high.

The boulders came first, either smashing the corners of the wall, or hitting the crowd, or directly crossing the city wall and smashing into the city, without exception, causing a large number of casualties.

The commander is watching us to see which of us can kill the enemy and who can make meritorious contributions. The Overseers kept screaming at command.

The archers quickly filled their positions, but unfortunately the enemy fire was too strong, and many of them were routed by a new wave of attacks before they could gain a foothold.

The rain of arrows, like a waterfall, fell in a large area of the enemy army in the sprint, even so, for the charging enemy army is only a drop in the bucket, on the other hand, the Chinese defenders, in the face of the same return fire and the indiscriminate bombardment of boulders, the number of casualties has increased.

Bang!!

The hammer cart began to pound wildly at the city gates.

"Hold! Hold!"

"Oil, pour oil down!"

"Archer, shoot that way, aim and shoot, don't waste arrows. ”

"Guard the gates, and don't let them break down. ”

"Stronghold, defend the stronghold, don't let the enemy attack it, over there, speed up the position. ”

Overseers roared wildly everywhere, one fell, and soon a new one took his place.

Ye Gucheng watched the soldiers suffer countless deaths and injuries, and the hand holding the silver spear almost pinched blood, at this moment, the hatred for Tuoba Jing was even stronger.

On the side, the head of the palace guard saw that the city wall was about to fall, and hurriedly said: "Commander, hurry back to the palace!

"Shut up!" Ye Gucheng looked back and scolded angrily: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it, Ben Shuai said that the city is in the people, and the city is dead." ”

"But。。。。。。 ”

"No, but, if you dare to confuse the army's heart again, you will not be forgiven. ”

The chief of the palace guard had no choice but to shut up.

Ye Gucheng's face did not change for any reason, staring at a palace guard on the side.

The palace guards seemed to notice that Ye Gucheng had noticed him, shrunk his body, and buried his head low.

"Lift your head up. Ye Gucheng's tone was full of anger.

The body of the palace guard stiffened, and he raised his head timidly.

"Li Yue'er!" Ye Gucheng was angry, and stepped forward and roared: "Why are you here?

Li Yue'er was so frightened that she stood on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

"Xuanyuan Gou. "If it is said that the eyes can kill, Ye Gucheng can't wait to break the body of the palace guard into thousands of pieces.

"It's the Queen's will, your subordinates... The head of the palace guard hung his head guiltily.

"Bastard. Ye Gucheng was furious and kicked the palace guard head over.

Li Yue'er hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ye Gucheng and continued to run away, and said with a crying voice: "Brother-in-law, don't beat him, it's not good for Yue'er." ”

"I'll settle accounts with you later. Ye Gucheng glared at the hall guard fiercely. "Send Li Yue'er back to the palace unscathed immediately. ”

"No, I want to protect my brother-in-law!" Li Yue'er saw the palace guard step forward and resisted desperately.

"You can't even protect yourself, what can you do to protect me? Don't make trouble, go back to the palace for me!" Ye Gucheng saw that there were enemy soldiers climbing the city wall, and quickly met the battle with guns.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" Li Yueli watched Ye Gucheng fight with the enemy army, and shouted in a panic: "Let go of me!

"Miss Yue'er, offended! Take it away!" The palace guard chief did not dare to disobey the order, and slowly leaned towards the exit with Li Yue'er, who was struggling.

Most of the defenders of the royal capital were not regular troops, and many of them had not even been on the battlefield, and in the face of the enemy's strong attack and arrow rain, countless soldiers died, the strongholds were lost, and a large number of enemy troops poured onto the city wall.

The fight became white-hot, and everyone could only swing their blades on instinct, and the roar and screams were mixed.

Escorting became extremely difficult, but even so, Li Yue'er's eyes still did not leave the back of the great shore, especially when she saw Ye Gucheng being stabbed, tears couldn't stop slipping.

After the palace guard cut down several enemy soldiers in a row, he roared violently: "Captain of the guard, the road ahead is not passable, we should take another road." ”

The hall guard gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice: "Retreat!"

Li Yue'er and the others had no choice but to approach in the direction of Ye Gucheng.

There were too many people, the space was too crowded, Ye Gucheng's silver spear lost the space to be used, so he had to abandon the gun and replace the knife, the lethality of the machete was no less than that of the silver gun, coupled with his lifeless fighting style, he killed several enemy soldiers in one fell swoop.

"Ladders, push them all out for me. "Ye Gucheng knows very well that if the siege ladder is not overthrown, the battle situation will become worse and worse, and immediately, the consequences of a knife in the back will be cut down by the enemy soldiers who have just climbed the city wall, and then the enemy behind him will be beheaded with a counter-kill.

One of the guards took advantage of the gap to overthrow the enemy who was full of ladders with a knife in his chest, and he fell with him.

This kind of thing happens everywhere, the attacker tries his best to climb, the defender pushes the ladder desperately, the archers are getting fewer and fewer, and the defense becomes simple and rude, exchanging life for defense.

Reinforcements poured up the walls from all over the city, filling the gaps, falling, and filling them up!

Blood flowed along the gap, and every inch of the parched ground became an ocean, passing through many obstacles, and finally spilling down the stairs into the city, and every step on the steps formed a distinct bloody footprint.
