As the sun rose in the east, the sound of war drums outside the city woke the queen from her sleep.
The Three Kingdoms fought many times, but the Queen only visited the battlefield in person very few times, so she was naturally extremely alarmed by the sudden sound of war drums.
Hui'er heard the movement in the room and walked in carrying a basin for washing.
“Your Majesty, it seems that Dalong’s troops have begun to attack the city again. They really don’t give us any chance to relax.”
“Long live your Majesty! Long live Dajin!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
“Ha! Fight to the death and never retreat!”
“Ha! Fight to the death and never retreat!”
“Ha! Fight to the death and never retreat!”
The Queen was startled when the shouts of the Jin Kingdom suddenly came from the city wall, and then she came to her senses.
It seems that Uncle Wang has informed the soldiers in the city about the arrival of his imperial commander.
The morale of the Jin Kingdom guards on the city wall rose sharply. Not only the Queen was stunned, but also Yunyang and other generals in the Dalong Barracks. They didn't know why the morale of the Jianzhou guards was so high today.
"Hui'er, quickly change my clothes and armor for me. I will personally defend the city with the soldiers to defend against the enemy."
“Your Majesty, you can’t. Your Majesty has repeatedly told you half an hour ago that you must not allow your Majesty to climb the city wall. If your Majesty’s dragon body is damaged, not only will it not boost the morale of our army, but it will sharply reduce the momentum of our army.
When the enemy troops retreat, Your Majesty can go to the city to express condolences to the soldiers.
Your Majesty, I hope you can understand the prince’s difficulties and painstaking efforts.
The dragon’s artillery is no joke,
Even though His Majesty has internal energy to protect his body, once he is hit by a cannonball, he will either die or be injured.
According to the prince, even if a half-step innate master has deep internal strength, he can only use his internal strength to deflect the cannonball a few times, and then if it is hit, he will be dead."
“But how could I just watch the soldiers?”
“Your Majesty, if you go to the city, the soldiers will restrain their hands and feet in order to protect you, and they will not be able to dodge attacks that should be avoided.
Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"this"
“It’s okay for me to wait under the city wall and help the army officers treat the injured soldiers!”
“As long as your majesty doesn’t climb the city wall, Hui’er will naturally not stop your majesty!”
“Okay, change my clothes and armor for me immediately.”
“Hui’er obeys the order.”
As soon as the Queen put on her armor and walked out of the room, the roar of cannons was heard outside the city, and in the blink of an eye, the sound of exploding cannonballs was heard on the city wall.
The queen subconsciously looked towards the city wall, seeing the thick smoke billowing above the city wall, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
The battle was far more intense than she imagined.
What I saw in the mountains and forests yesterday was just the tip of the iceberg of this battle.
The fierce screams on the city wall brought the queen back to her senses.
“Hui’er, hurry up, come with me to help the army doctor who is the injured soldier!”
"yes!"
The Queen led Hui'er and a group of guards to help treat the wounded. The Jin Kingdom guards on the city wall also began to fight back against Dalong's troops.
From the time the sun rises in the east, until the sun reaches the middle of the sky, the shouting of killing does not stop.
On the observation deck outside the city, Yunyang and other generals frowned tightly as they looked at the smoke billowing after the explosion in the phalanx of the siege soldiers.
When did the Jin Kingdom’s garrison have explosives? Why didn’t they receive any news?
And why did it take until today to start using it?
“Ming Jin, withdraw the troops and treat the injured soldiers!”
“Get the order!”
The sound of gold foil caused the dragon soldiers and horses attacking the city to begin to retreat in an orderly manner.
Screams that shook the heavens and the earth erupted from the city walls.
“Long live your Majesty! Fight to the death!”
“Long live your Majesty! Fight to the death!”
Yunyang and other generals understood the translation of the guards in Jin dialect and understood the meaning of the Jin army’s shouts on the city wall.
Yunyang and others gathered together to discuss why the Jin soldiers had so much morale and counterattacked so fiercely today, and why they shouted those words. After some discussion, they finally came to a conclusion.
The Queen of the Jin Dynasty has arrived in Jianzhou in person.
The imperial commander’s personal presence during the expedition is always the highest prestige for the soldiers.
When they see that today’s society attaches great importance to them, their morale will naturally increase.
Yunyang and others who came to this conclusion felt a headache.
The morale of the Jin Kingdom's garrison was finally reduced, and the day of the city's destruction could be expected. The Queen of Jin came in person, which revived the Jin Kingdom's morale.
This is not good news for General Dalong.
With no choice but to discuss again, General Long Wuwei arrogantly rushed to the gate of Jianzhou City with the flag on his back and his thin horse.
“I, General Dalong Longwuwei, are arrogant, and I sincerely invite Her Majesty Queen Jin to come to the city to see you.”
After a few cups of tea, the Queen climbed onto the city wall with a surprised expression, leaned forward and looked down the city.
“I, Wan Yan, politely said that I have met Lord Protector of the Great Dragon, and I have admired his name for a long time.”
Zang Kuang looked towards the source of the sound and saw the Queen leaning out her delicate body and looking at him in surprise.
“The minister is arrogant and has met the Empress of the Great Jin Dynasty. This time the minister came here and has a word of advice. I wonder if Her Majesty the Empress is willing to listen?”
“Please speak, Lord Protector.”
Zhang Kuang hesitated for a moment, took out Mian Bo from his arms, bent his bow and shot an arrow towards the battlement where the Queen was standing.
“Your Majesty the Empress, the minister and the child Mingzhi are uncles and nephews. Due to the relationship between you, the minister dares to take advantage of you. How about calling your majesty my niece?”
The Queen took off the thin film on the arrowhead, hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
“General Zhang, keep talking!”
“My son, surrender, it is the general trend that the dragon will dominate the world. I, the dragon, have millions of troops, strong soldiers and horses, and plenty of food and grass. What can you do if you hold on for dear life?
It was just a waste of sacrifice of the lives of Dajin soldiers and subjects.
Your ministers will guarantee with their lives that after you surrender and the people of the Jin Kingdom are included in the Great Dragon, we, the Great Dragon, will treat them equally. As long as the old people of the Jin Kingdom abide by the laws and regulations, the court will not treat them badly in any way.
Your relationship with this kid Zhi'er is well known to the world, and I think he doesn't want to see you defending the city.
The sword has no eyes. If you get even a little bit hurt, how do you ask your uncle to face him?
To put it bluntly, if you, Jin and Tu, had not repeatedly gone south and invaded our territory, making the people in our northern territory miserable and homeless, why would we be in the situation we are in today?
At the end of the day, it’s a cycle of retribution.
Now this back-and-forth attack is about to come to an end.
Child, why do you need to add casualties to the war?
Our people in Dalong's northern border have suffered greatly from war. Do you also want to see the people of Jin country make the same mistake again?
When war breaks out, it becomes a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Why do you have to fight to the death when you know that you are unable to defeat the sharp edge of my dragon?
I hope you can think carefully about your uncle's words and end this war at the minimum cost.
The Three Kingdoms have been fighting for too long.”
As the Queen listened to the arrogant words, her eyes gradually became a little cold.
“Duke Protector, since Dalong doesn’t want to see wars and chaos breaking out and the people living in dire straits, why doesn’t he become a vassal and pay tribute to me, Dajin, and help me, Dajin, unify the world?
No matter what happens, you generals can return to the court and end this war.
Since the Protector has a reputation of being heartless, I will give him a pat on the back and call you uncle.
Uncle, go back and tell you Commander Yunyang.
You have your mission, and I, Wanyan Wanyan, also have my own mission.
Looking at Zhang Kuang's condensed expression, the Queen took the bow and arrow and returned the thin arrow in her hand to Zhang Kuang. She already knew the general content without looking at her.
The queen used her lotus feet to stand on the city wall, looking down at Zhang Kuang with a faint smile and stretching out her lotus arms.
He looked cool and unrestrained, as if he was used to seeing life and death.
“Uncle, go back and tell Yunyang and Emperor Dalong.
I! The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom Wan Yan spoke politely.
I would rather the country collapse and the mountains and rivers be shattered than surrender.
So what if you have a million-strong army? We, Dajin, also have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals. How can we be afraid of you, a million-strong army?
I am not afraid of any battle.
The worst outcome is that the city will be destroyed and the country will be destroyed, and the fish will die and the net will be broken.
Why should I be afraid?
This battle will end with my death.
Gentlemen, please fight!"
“War! Long live!”
“War! Long live!”
“War! Long live!”
Hearing the earth-shattering shouts of the Dajin guards, the Queen stood on the city wall, high-spirited and looking down at Zhang Kuang with arrogance.
“Duke Protector, I and the great dragon army have broken through the city!
Please come back!
Tell your commander-in-chief and the emperor.
I would rather lose a country than surrender."
Zhang Kuang stared blankly at the Queen's determined expression, and in his mind Mu Ran recalled Ruizong's words decades ago.
“Did you all see the look in the little girl’s eyes when Wanyan Wanyan, the new emperor of the Jin Kingdom, paid homage to me today?
I saw that although she is a daughter, her eyes are full of rebelliousness, and she has the heroic spirit of a man.
Given time, she will be a heroine of a generation and a wise king in this world!
I hope I can prevent its rise in my lifetime.
Otherwise, after my death, this woman will definitely be a big problem for my dragon to rule the world!"
