Chapter Eighty-Four: I'd rather die in battle and lose my society
The roaring war drums beat, and the crowds outside Kyoto City surged, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
Facing the long-standing siege of Kyoto City, Zhang Wei knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and he began to put on his armor and rush to kill on the front-line battlefield to boost the morale of the Wanzhou army.
In addition, it is also promised a heavy reward, and it is not a problem to pay homage to the king.
Many generals of the Wanzhou Army also began to work hard at this time, and everyone knew that since the moment of the rebellion, they had no way out.
Conquer Kyoto, you can be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, and become a meritorious minister from the dragon, if you are defeated, the family will be destroyed and you will be infamous for eternity.
With the strength of the Wanzhou army, the defenders in the city began to struggle, and seeing the tight battle situation on the city tower, Emperor Qin Yu inevitably became nervous in his heart.
"Is the heavens going to kill me in Great Xia?"
Qin Yu muttered in a low voice, feeling full of pain in his heart.
finally began to open up the situation and recover the military power in Kyoto, and now the Wanzhou army with wolf ambitions is coming to the city again.
The people mutinied, and the drought affected the Rong tribe.
One disaster after another flashed in Qin Yu's mind, causing him to fall into deep self-doubt.
He remembered his father's last words to him before he died, and advised him to work hard and be close to Zhongliang.
The terminally ill old emperor has always been Qin Yu the most optimistic among the many princes, and he knows the tenacity of his character so he entrusts Jiangshan Sheji to him.
But now there is still a lot of war, and the smoke is not stopping, which makes Qin Yu feel ashamed of trusting his father and the ancestors of Great Xia.
When the situation in Kyoto City was urgent, Yun Bi, the commander of a forbidden army, quickly shuttled through the battlefield and gradually approached Qin Yu.
"Emperor, retreat, the enemy is coming."
Hearing Yun Bi's hurried words, Qin Yu was only slightly stunned, and then bowed his head slightly with an indifferent face, signaling that he knew.
But the body did not retreat at all, but looked at the tragic battlefield not far away and was silent.
"Yun Bi listens to orders."
Qin Yu stopped and looked at it for a long time, cold words came out of his mouth, and when Yun Bi looked up, he only saw Qin Yu's emaciated back.
"If the city of Kyoto is broken, you will lead your soldiers to kill all the concubines in the palace to prevent them from being humiliated."
"As for the crown prince, if possible, you can take him to Jizhou."
Listening to the cold words, Yun Bi knew that Qin Yu had already had a will to die and vowed to live and die with Kyoto.
At this time, he wanted to comfort Qin Yu and let him flee east out of the city, but in the end he didn't say anything, just took the order and left.
After Yun Bi left, Qin Yu carried his sword and gradually walked in the direction of the most tragic battle on the city tower.
The wails in his ears continued, and the aftermath frightened him, but he still walked forward step by step without a trace.
Seeing the emperor walking towards the deepest part of the battlefield, a group of civil and military generals followed forward worriedly.
The soldiers defending the city were a little incredulous when they saw the emperor walking in front of them, and they were even more agile when they killed the enemy in amazement.
Until the corner of the city tower where the battle was most intense, Qin Yu began to draw his sword and kill the enemy.
The generals and soldiers behind him were a little moist at this time.
This is their emperor, and the Son of Heaven who they have fought with their lives to protect also stands with them to kill the enemy, this is the king worthy of their follow.
As the enemy army in front of him was gradually killed and retreated, more enemies poured in from all directions, which was quite embattled.
At this moment, Qin Yu was a little out of strength, and stood and rested with his saber to support his body, but his eyes were extremely firm.
Looking around, the embarrassed defenders were all disgraced at this time, but Qin Yu felt that they were extremely glorious.
"Emperor, let's go, our lives are worthless."
Just as Qin Yu's thoughts were flying, a thin old soldier of the forbidden army slowly persuaded him with tears in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers at the scene echoed one after another, and the voices came into Qin Yu's ears one after another.
"Emperor, quickly withdraw.".
"Emperor, take care of the dragon's body."
Listening to the words of consolation in his ears, Qin Yu knew that these soldiers really wanted to let him leave the city tower and escape from Kyoto.
But as the Emperor of Great Xia, where could he flee after leaving Kyoto?
In the past, he was used to hearing the flattery of those princes and ministers, and Qin Yu has always been not fake.
Now listening to the heartfelt words of these lowly soldiers to themselves, a sense of satisfaction that has never been felt before hits my heart.
I saw Qin Yu smile slightly and said.
"I am the emperor of Great Xia, how can I escape in the face of rebellious ministers and thieves."
"Since ancient times, there have been emperors who have died in battle, but there are emperors who surrendered?"
"I'd rather die in battle and lose my society than give up the country."
"Are you still willing to kill the enemy with me?"
After saying that, Qin Yu killed the Wanzhou army who were constantly climbing the city tower alone, and the soldiers behind him all responded and ran closely.
The Wanzhou soldiers who attacked the city tower saw that the defenders who were still sluggish before suddenly burst out with an astonishing murderous aura like chicken blood, and their bodies unconsciously took a few steps back.
And Zhang Weiyuan, the governor of Wanzhou, who had already led people to attack the city tower, saw Qin Yu who led the army to kill from afar, but a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at him from afar.
"Catch him, that's the Emperor."
As Zhang Wei shouted, a group of soldiers of the Wanzhou Army around him were also short of breath, and their eyes were staring directly at the direction of Zhang Wei's finger.
"A thin young man, that's the emperor of Great Xia?"
Many people were suspicious of the emperor's beauty, but more of them gradually moved closer to the direction where Qin Yu was.
In the eyes of these soldiers, the person in front of them is no longer a person, but a pile of gold and silver, as long as they are taken, they will be crowned kings and worship the prime minister, and they will benefit their descendants.
Zhang Wei's eyes were even hotter at this time, licking his dry lips and constantly urging his generals to step forward.
I saw Emperor Qin Yu holding a sword and slashing indiscriminately on the battlefield, although he didn't see a few people, but the momentum was not ordinary.
Just when Qin Yu was deep in the enemy formation and slashed heartily, not far from him, a general of the Wanzhou Army took a bow and arrow and aimed at him.
"Whoosh."
As the sound of breaking the air sounded, a feather arrow slowly slashed through the air and fell straight down like Qin Yu.
The sharp-eyed forbidden soldier reminded him, but it was too late, and with a muffled snort, Qin Yu fell to the ground.
With Qin Yu's arrow, the defenders on the city tower began to mess up, and many people hugged each other and cried.
When Zhang Wei saw Qin Yu hit the arrow, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and led a group of his subordinates to run frantically in the direction where Qin Yu fell to the ground.
He wants to catch Qin Yu, as long as he keeps him, whether he is dead or alive, taking Kyoto is a matter of searching for his bag.
When Qin Yu's arrow fell in the middle and was about to be surrounded by the Wanzhou soldiers who were besieging the city, there was a commotion outside the city.
Bursts of shouts and killings continued to come from the rear of the Wanzhou army, and they began to attack the soldiers who were rushing to climb the city tower.
"Kill, enter the capital and kill the king with me."
At the head of the team, Wang Meng took the lead, wielding a steel knife and moving forward bravely.
