On the city wall!
Ding Peng stood at the back with his bow and arrows, trembling as he looked at the corpses that fell one after another in front of him.
It was too tragic!
Before this, he had never witnessed a real war with his own eyes. His trip to serve his country was purely due to his hot-bloodedness.
However, within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he witnessed the tragedy of the battle with his own eyes!
Someone was dying every minute and every second!
The boulders rumbled, and his ears were almost deafened. It was as if the entire city was shaking.
The kerosene spread to the city wall and ignited a raging fire. Some people were burned alive, and the air was filled with the smell of burning and stench.
"This … Is this a real war?"
Ding Peng's teeth trembled as he noticed that the dark-skinned man beside him was extremely calm, constantly wiping the crossbow in his hand.
For this person!
Ding Peng remembered!
It was Chen Dong's blacksmith, Chen Tiezhu!
He was the man who handed the child in his hand to his wife and was the first to climb the city wall!
"Uncle Tiezhu …"
Ding Peng said with a trembling voice, "You … You're not afraid?"
"Afraid?"
The dark-skinned man immediately fell silent, then laughed self-deprecatingly, "There's no one who isn't afraid, but in this world, fear can't solve things."
Ding Peng seemed to understand.
Seeing that he was really afraid, the dark-skinned man smiled and said, "Little Peng, you're still a virgin, right?"
Ding Peng was stunned, then his face turned red. Obviously, he did not expect that the other party would still be in the mood to care about this at this time.
"I promise you, Tiezhu, don't die!"
The dark-skinned man patted his shoulder, "Live well, later let your grandfather find a wife for you, the taste of women is very wonderful, that big white legs, that big high, tsk tsk …"
"Gulp …"
Ding Peng could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
At this time, the city guard shouted, "Chen Tiezhu!"
"Here!"
The dark-skinned man almost subconsciously got up, then picked up the bow on the ground and rushed into the front line of defense. Before leaving, he turned back and said to Ding Peng, "You must survive!"
Immediately after!
Ding Peng discovered that the arrows shot by the unscrupulous Uncle Tiezhu had accurately hit people.
"Good …"
The other archers cheered in unison.
Chen Tiezhu subconsciously looked back at the crowd in the city behind him, trying to see if his wife and children were still there.
"Boom …"
A huge rock flew from below the city and directly smashed into his body. In an instant, more than a dozen corpses were heavily smashed into the ground.
"Uncle Tie Zhu …"
Ding Peng's eyes almost split open.
The city guard shouted at the top of his lungs, "Big Black, Ding Peng …"
Ding Peng fell heavily to the ground, his body trembling more and more. The scene of the dark-skinned man's tragic death still echoed in his mind.
At this moment, he felt someone pat his shoulder. He looked up and saw that the person in front of him was Big Blackie, who had spoken to him earlier.
"Let's go …"
Big Blackie was still smiling.
Ding Peng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, the veins on his neck throbbing violently. He then picked up the bow on the ground and rushed to the front line of defense with a loud shout.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Kill all of you!!!"
He screamed like a madman, and the arrows in his hand shot out one after another.
His archery skills were even better than Chen Tiezhu's, even surpassing the professional archers in the army. Every arrow he fired was sure to kill a person.
Seeing this scene, the acting king outside the city frowned and then said, "Bring me my bow!"
Not long after, he held a purple bow, then nocked an arrow and pointed it at Ding Peng on the city wall.
"Whoosh …"
Ding Peng heard the sound of air being pierced and saw a purple bow and arrow coming at him at lightning speed.
"Dodge!"
Big Blackie immediately pounced on him.
"Puff …"
Big Blackie's body fell heavily below the city wall.
"No!"
Ding Peng fell to the ground and roared.
"Rest in peace …"
Yun Yi, who saw this scene, was frighteningly pale. "If I don't die, I will treat your family well …"
She then looked at the little emperor hiding behind more than a dozen imperial guards, and her eyes were full of disappointment. "Your Majesty, you really disappoint me …"
"Rumble …"
At this moment, the entire city wall shook violently!
The rebel army pushed the battering ram and approached the city gate. The huge battering ram had only been pushed once, but the entire city wall was on the verge of collapsing.
On top of the countless siege ladders, there were countless rebel soldiers who were not afraid of death, trying to climb up the tower.
Relying on his profound cultivation, Ma Yuanxun ignored the overwhelming number of arrows and boulders. He stepped into the air and slashed with his saber.
"Ahhhh …"
Countless enemies died tragically.
He also went crazy. He directly landed below the city wall, and with a long saber in hand, he killed the enemy soldiers who were pushing the battering ram.
His saber rose and fell, and heads rolled.
"Kill!"
Another few defending generals joined forces and landed, trying to use their strength to share the burden of the defending soldiers.
"You're asking for it!"
Seeing this, the acting king sneered and said, "Order the sects to attack. Whoever disobeys, kill without mercy!"
"Boom …"
Not long after, more than a dozen Ancestral Martial Artists from the rebel army's camp flew into the air and attacked Ma Yuanxun and the others with ferocious expressions.
Screams rang out incessantly!
Generals who jumped down from the city wall were killed one after another, and the battering ram once again slammed heavily against the north gate.
"Kill!"
Ma Yuanxun was like a crazed demon, single-handedly fighting against the combined forces of three Ancestral Martial Artists. "You bastards deserve to die!!!"
The three Ancestral Martial Artists were not only unable to do anything to him, but they were also forced to retreat.
The acting king once again nocked an arrow and aimed it at Ma Yuanxun.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow directly pierced through Ma Yuanxun's chest, and the force of the arrow sent him flying heavily!
"Die!"
The three Ancestral Martial Artists joined forces again!
"Hahaha!"
Ma Yuanxun's body was almost broken, but he still laughed loudly. "Traitors, you bunch of traitors, even if I die today, I will wait for you down there!"
"Die!"
One of the Ancestral Martial Artists chopped off his head!
"General Ma!"
Yun Yi cried her heart out.
"Rumble …"
At the same time, the north gate was breached!
Tens of thousands of rebel soldiers charged into the city. In front of them was a force of tens of thousands of civilians.
"It's over …"
Yun Yi fell heavily to the ground, her heart dead. She then took a deep breath and struggled to walk to the top of the city wall. "Stop!"
"Stop!"
The acting king waved his hand.
The world suddenly quietened down!
The acting king looked up at Yun Yi and sneered. "Empress Dowager, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it?"
"You win …"
Yun Yi said with difficulty, her voice hoarse. "Let them go and I will let you do whatever you want to me!"
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate with me?" The acting king sneered.
Yun Yi said woodenly, "Don't forget, the Imperial Jade Seal is in my hands, and so is the commander's seal. Also, the Emperor is in my hands!"
She then slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed the little Emperor in the distance. The little Emperor was caught in her hand.
"Mother, let go of me …" The little Emperor struggled.
He looked at the people below with a sad face and said, "They are all my people. Even if you win the world, you will still need their support!"
The acting king was silent.
Yun Yi ignored the little Emperor's struggle and said again, "As long as you promise me not to massacre the city, I can give you the Imperial Jade Seal and the commander's seal. I can even ask His Majesty to abdicate the throne to you."
She was extremely disappointed in the little Emperor!
Between the dying wish of the late Emperor and the lives of millions of people, she finally chose the lives of millions of people.
The acting king's expression changed a few times. He was slightly moved and said, "If you obediently come down now, I may consider agreeing to your conditions."
Yun Yi's body trembled when she heard this.
How could she not know the other party's purpose!
It was because he did not want her to die!
Because everyone knew that the acting king was lustful. Under such circumstances, how could he let her go?
"Empress Dowager, you can't …"
Some of the surviving officials hurriedly knelt down!
"Empress Dowager …"
All the people knelt down!
Yun Yi closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled as if she was struggling in her heart. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes and smiled bitterly, "Okay, I promise you!"
As her voice fell!
Many people were in pain!
The Empress Dowager had sacrificed herself for them!
"Congratulations, Your Highness …"
Gu Yifu jumped out and bowed to the acting king, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Not only did you win the world, you also won the beauty!"
The rest of the people also flattered him.
Under everyone's gaze, Yun Yi leaped down from the city tower and walked toward the acting king step by step.
The acting king's heart was stirred. It was as if he could see the beauty of spring in the night when the former was less than 10 steps away from him.
He could not help but take a few steps forward and directly reach out to Yun Yi, "From now on, you are my woman …"
Just as his hand was about to touch Yun Yi, an extremely indifferent voice suddenly sounded in the air, "If you touch a single hair on her, I will kill your entire family and your nine generations!"
