Thinking of how the ancestors established the country in the first place, Xixiang has only passed a few dynasties and generations, and he is about to be buried in his own hands, Zhou Hong's mood is indescribably heavy.

Even if he died here today, Jiuquan would not have the face to meet the ancestors.

But he still has to fight to the death, just to make his death a little more dignified!

The soldiers of the Wuyu Kingdom had not yet arrived, and the generals defending the city couldn't bear it when they saw the emperor standing like this, so they hurriedly moved a chair for him to sit.

The surrounding soldiers stared vigilantly ahead, and the war horse seemed to feel the uneasiness of the people, and also followed a little agitation, and the horse's hooves stepped on the dust.

Everyone was a little conflicted in their hearts, hoping that the time would pass slowly, and the enemy army would be able to come later.

I also hope that time will pass sooner, and it would be better to end all this as soon as possible, so as not to bear the torment of this uneasiness.

In front of the capital, there is Linjing, which is now the last line of defense.

I don't know how long it took, but the ground beneath people's feet began to shake, and everyone knew that it was time to come.

Zhou Hong stood up and took a long knife from the guard beside him, which was his weapon.

On his sixth birthday, the emperor gave him a gift and arranged for him to be a master.

Before ascending the throne, he practiced martial arts diligently every day, and from time to time he looked for someone to compete.

After sitting on the dragon chair, he was busy with government politics at first, and he had no time to practice. Later, I didn't practice it at all.

For so many years, this knife has been like an ornament, which has been wiped shiny by the palace maids and eunuchs, and has never rusted. But the owner of the knife was rusty.

But what if he didn't waste his work? With his strength alone, can he resist the army of the Black Feather Country, so that Xixiang can avoid the disaster of destroying the country?

When you really fight, you must hold the handle of the knife tightly, at least you can't be dropped by the enemy's blade, how embarrassing it is! Zhou Hong thought of this and smiled wryly.

The enemy army in front of them pounced on them like tigers with their mouths open, trying to devour everything.

"Escort, escort." Someone reacted and shouted in a panic.

The Imperial Forest Army that came out of the palace rushed to Zhou Hong's side.

"Stop, I don't need an escort today, don't do useless things, all you have to do is kill the enemy." Zhou Hong pointed his knife at the front and said loudly.

Useless things, everyone understood, gritted their teeth and nodded in a sad response; "Yes." Then he retreated to his position, gripped his weapon, and stared ahead as if he were dead.

The evil tiger that pounced in front of him did not pounce straight over, but stopped at a distance of about three miles.

The flying dust and smoke gradually faded, and the enemy suddenly flashed in the middle of the way, and a small group of people poured out in the middle, riding their horses towards this side.

"Your Majesty, it's Wu Zixuan." The sharp-eyed one immediately told Zhou Hong.

Wu Zixuan, the crown prince of the Black Feather Kingdom.

Zhou Hong knew in his heart that the crown prince of Wuyu Kingdom personally commanded the troops for only one reason, that is, to make his own crown prince position more stable.

The general of the Xixiang city guard and several of his archers drew their bows and arrows and aimed at the black feather prince, even if this battle is doomed to be lost, it can be regarded as a meaningful thing to kill the prince of the enemy country!

However, the black feather prince and the others stopped outside the shooting range.

The person who took the arrow was annoyed, but he also knew that no matter how arrogant the other party was, he was also cautious and spared his life.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty Emperor Xixiang would come to defend the city in person, could it be that he wanted to come to greet the palace in person?" Wu Zixuan didn't continue to move forward, but the mocking voice came.

"If you want to fight, you will fight, don't bother with words." Zhou Jian, the eldest prince beside Zhou Hong, immediately responded unceremoniously.

"Don't worry, the eldest prince, the father of this palace ordered a quick battle to capture the Xixiang capital, but this palace is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill more innocents, so you can take the initiative to disarm and surrender, so as to avoid the bloodshed of this capital." Wu Zixuan said loudly with a smile.

"Oh, Prince, you are so kind-hearted, but I wonder if there are any conditions attached to this?" Zhou Jian asked with a sneer.

Wu Zixuan laughed when he heard this; "The eldest prince is smart, and the additional conditions are very simple, that is, your father can take you to kneel."

"Bastard, deceive people too much." The general defending the city was so angry that he shot an arrow, knowing that he couldn't shoot it if he wasn't in range, but he was still unwilling.

Seeing that the arrow missed, the general only hated that his skills were not good enough, and his archery skills were not perfect.

"Your Majesty, don't listen to their nonsense. They attacked along the way, how many innocent people have been killed, how could they get here, and suddenly have the heart of a bodhisattva. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just a death."

It is the ministers of the court who are talking and persuading, even civil officials, who are standing here.

They knew their Majesty too well, for fear that he would really be deceived into agreeing.

"Okay, Zhong Aiqing is right, it's just a death." Zhou Hong looked at his ministers, and suddenly felt that his emperor should be regarded as a Ming monarch, at least, they were sincere and loyal to him.

"Wu Zixuan, listen, I, a native of Xixiang, kneel to the sky and kneel to my parents, and kneel to the king of Xixiang, but I will never kneel and wait." Zhou Jian saw his father looking at him, and immediately ignored it loudly to show a resolute attitude towards the front.

Wu Zixuan's side seems to have expected this for a long time; "Since you don't know how to lift, then don't blame me for being ruthless. After the city is conquered, you will still be asked to kneel, and there is a way not to kneel. ”

After saying something viciously, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and the military formation that was not far behind him immediately moved.

Everyone on Zhou Hong's side is also ready to fight.

In the palace, Empress Shangguan Xia looked at the others in the palace, and the timid concubine was not crying, but after confirming that information, this place would become a sea of fire.

It's a pity that he can't die with his husband when he dies.

The drums of war were already sounding, and the two armies outside the city gate were getting closer and closer.

On the one hand, with the determination to die, they fought to the death.

On the other hand, they attacked all the way, and although they met strong resistance at every city, they were unable to stop them in the end.

Therefore, in their eyes, they didn't take the capital of Xixiang in front of them seriously.

Suddenly, the soldiers at the front saw two teams appear on both sides of the city gate, and their originally neat steps were a little chaotic.

Because they saw clearly that the armor on the generals who suddenly appeared and became more and more different from the armor of the generals in Xixiang.

Reinforcements? Xixiang actually invited reinforcements?

No, there are people who want to help Xixiang?

As shocked as the soldiers of the Black Feather Kingdom, there were also the soldiers of Xixiang.

They were already determined to fight to the death, and their attention was on the direction of the enemy army in front, and when they found the troops appearing on both sides, they were all shocked, and cold sweat fell.

When was there an enemy army behind it?

There is no chance of victory just by facing the enemy head-on, and now that it is surrounded, wouldn't it be impossible to be heroic and martyred, so it can only be slaughtered......
