Liu Ruyan then turned around and saw several doctors, Xing Baotou, and a group of villagers dressed as hunters that she had met in Taiping Village, standing not far away.
When Zhuge Ming saw her looking at her, he immediately raised his hand.
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and crossed her hands in salute to everyone present.
Xing Baotou led a group of villagers and bad guys and loudly replied: "We, the people of Hedong, are the most brave. In this battle, we will defend Jinyang to the death."
More and more people took to the streets along the road, carrying iron weapons on their shoulders.
Jin Buhuan had a rice shop and an iron shop in the city. These people remelted the iron to create a batch of weapons and temporarily joined the team defending the city.
The morning light has not yet broken, and war drums can be heard from the city gate.
Liu Ruyan was sitting in the tent under the corner of the city. She glanced at the hourglass from the corner of her eye and saw it at three o'clock.
Dong Qingxian stood by and suddenly said: "It's a strong crossbow formation."
There was a buzzing overhead.
Wu Guang held the military flag and stood outside the city and led his soldiers to jointly counterattack. A large number of heavy equipment aimed at Wu Yangyang's military formation, aiming and shooting.
The people in the city also gathered near the city gate, picking up the fallen arrows on the ground, and when they had enough, they handed them over to Xingtian.
Wounded people kept coming to the military medical department, and Bai Zhi and several doctors were responsible for treating the soldiers' injuries. Qiu Shi carried the water basin and walked in and out, so busy that she could hardly touch the ground.
At night.
Liu Ruyan and three scouts lurked out of the city along the underground passage, disguised themselves as soldiers, and successfully sneaked into the enemy camp.
This time the imperial commander went on a personal expedition, and the camp was heavily defended. She made several inquiries and decided to start with the water source.
The military camp is near the water, and there will be soldiers stationed near the water source. Liu Ruyan and several people pushed the water cart and poured medicine into the water by drawing water.
Return to Han camp.
Liu Ruyan walked towards the tent. The crescent moon looked like a hook. There was a young man standing outside the tent, glancing into the distance from time to time.
She smiled familiarly: "Huaian, why don't you go to bed so late at night? Are you waiting for someone?"
Gongshuyu identified the person who came and looked at her twice from head to toe. When he saw that the person was intact, he withdrew his eyes and walked away.
Liu Ruyan stopped in front of him and realized that the boy's clothes were stained with night dew. He had obviously stood here for a long time.
"Are you waiting for me?" she asked.
Gong Shuyu's expression suddenly changed, and he said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, I happened to be passing by."
She yelled: "I thought you had something to do with me."
Gongshu Yu put on a bad face: "If nothing happens, I can't come to you?"
Liu Ruyan touched her nose and smiled.
He turned his gaze and asked dissatisfiedly: "Where are the sleeve arrows I gave you earlier?"
Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes and raised her right arm: "It's not because I'm afraid of a body search, so I took it out tonight."
Gongshu Yu softened his tone and reminded him again and again: "Those sleeve arrows can fire nine arrows in a row. They can protect people's lives at critical moments. Be sure to wear them."
She narrowed her smiling eyes and said, "Okay, let Huaian worry."
The young man turned his head and snorted coldly: "Who are you worried about? I don't have this kind of free time."
The Northern Expedition lasted for more than a month, and many soldiers of the Song Army fell ill. In addition, several generals were attacked later, and the morale of the Song Army was low. They were tortured by a mere 30,000 Hedong soldiers and horses.
Han camp.
The soldiers sat around the bonfire, looking at the dirty and blood-stained city walls.
"Can we hold the city?"
"What the hell, if these thieves dare to cross the city, ask me first if I want my sword."
"I heard that the Khitan people will arrive in a few days. Let's keep watch for a while."
"Okay, hold on to the end and never surrender!"
"Report - the Song army is attacking, everyone must gather at Yangmayuan!"
The Song army suddenly attacked the city with elite troops at night. Liu Ruyan led a group of soldiers into battle and defended the enemy at Yangma Yuan outside the city.
Countless enemy troops climbed up the ladder, and amid the rocks and flying arrows, she led her troops bravely and fought a bloody path.
An enemy soldier fell, and blood splashed all over Liu Ruyan's face. The moment she blinked, countless blades struck at her head...
Thousands of miles away, there was a riot in the east of Dali. Prince Shen Yanchu led a surprise attack and pacified the border village. Later, he defeated the alliance of leaders of various ministries.
Half a month later, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty paid homage to the new king. In the solemn Buddhist bell, he gradually moved towards a high and powerful position.
Prime Minister Gao stood beside Shen Yanchu, secretly glanced at the decisive new monarch, and asked in a low voice: "What do you plan to do with the leaders of the thirty-seven tribes?"
Shen Yanchu didn't say a word, but stretched out his hand to touch his heart, feeling as if his chest was empty and cold.
"Your Majesty—" Prime Minister Gao lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at the man above him.
Shen Yanchu came to his senses and said: "Put him in jail and wait for his fate."
After that, he passed through the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and walked out of the palace.
In a corner of the palace, Shen Yanchu summoned Ling Feng and asked, "Is there any news from Ling Yun?"
Ling Feng stood still, but saw that the Lord's expression was a little strange. Without thinking about it for a moment, he replied: "The Emperor of Song Dynasty launched his army to attack the Han Dynasty, and successively captured the Hedong states, and is now besieging Jinyang."
"The war in Jinyang, when did it happen?"
Ling Feng reported again: "Counting the days, it's almost two months."
Shen Yanchu clenched his fists and his voice was cold: "Why didn't you report this matter to me?"
Ling Feng was startled. He rarely saw his lord angry. It seemed like a storm was about to come, destroying trees and destroying trees. He couldn't help being secretly surprised.
"explain--"
"When my subordinates saw you pacifying the border village, they were afraid of being distracted, so they did not inform the Lord in time. Besides..." Ling Feng lowered his voice, "Besides, the war in Jinyang is not an insignificant matter..."
"It doesn't matter -" Shen Yanchu said word by word, raised his eyes coldly, and suddenly sent out a palm.
Ling Feng stood in the eye of the wind, his robes fluttering wildly, and the strong wind rushing around his ears, as if countless swords were cutting his face.
In the blink of an eye, the huge tall tree behind him collapsed, and its leaves scattered all over the ground.
Ling Feng was still frightened. Looking at the broken branches and leaves at his feet, he realized that he had made a big mistake. He didn't care about the blood on his face and quickly leaned over to beg for mercy.
"There is no need to follow me from now on." Shen Yanchu left with a puff of sleeves.
The moment Liu Ruyan closed her eyes, countless blades were vying to chop at her. She jumped in the air and landed firmly on the back of the knife. At the same time, the scimitar in her hand swept out with a huge force, making a fatal move.
More and more soldiers fell at her feet. She was bleeding all the way and marched bravely. She saw that most of the enemy troops near the trench were killed. At this time, drums and horns sounded in the distance, and thousands of soldiers came in like a tide. .
"We can't hold the Yangma Yuan anymore, retreat to the tower quickly!"
At dawn, the Song army had captured Yangma Yuan and mobilized troops and horses to begin the attack on the city.
On the top of the city tower, heavy ordnance was fired repeatedly, and falling rocks fell like meteors.
Liu Ruyan led a group of cavalry to stay outside the city to defend against the enemy. She galloped on her horse, and the cavalry around her were killed and injured. Only a thousand or so people were still resisting.
She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the siege bed crossbow moving to the front line and beginning to draw the bow string.
Gongshuyu had already prepared a countermeasure for this. Twelve rocket crossbows were fired in parallel. When launched, sparks shot out like thunder. After hitting the enemy's crossbows, they exploded one after another, shooting up into flames several feet high.
