Qin Yunyun nodded gently, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze: "I naturally understand my husband's painstaking efforts. Although I am unable to fight on the battlefield with my husband, I am willing to do my best to take care of the affairs of the palace and share some of my husband's worries!"

Chu Ze put down the bowl of soup and looked up at Qin Yunyun: "You have always been my good wife. I can guard the city with peace of mind, the people's livelihood is stable, and the rear is stable, all thanks to you!"

Qin Yunyun's eyes flashed with emotion, and she said softly: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world all rely on you. I have only done some insignificant things!"

"You don't need to be modest!" Chu Ze smiled and said, "With you here, I feel at ease!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a soldier walked into the hall quickly, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border that the enemy troops have assembled and are approaching Tiandu City.

The spies reported that the enemy's force is huge and aggressive this time! "

Chu Ze frowned and immediately stood up, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "Sure enough, it's just as I expected.

The enemy finally couldn't hold back and started to move!"

Qin Yunyun was a little worried when she heard this, but she managed to stay calm and said softly: "My husband, I don't understand military affairs, but I believe you can defend Tiandu City!"

Chu Ze nodded slightly, then turned to the soldier and said, "Immediately summon Generals Guo Huai, Lin Ye, and Yue Feihe to the palace to discuss matters. I want to arrange the defense line myself!"

"Yes, sir!" The soldier took the order and retreated hurriedly.

Chu Ze turned to Qin Yunyun and said, "Yunyun, you stay in the palace and make sure to make arrangements for the people in the city.

I will personally sit on the tower and command the entire army!"

Although Qin Yunyun was worried, she knew that this was not the time to say more, so she nodded: "Don't worry, my husband, I will take good care of the rear and wait for your triumphant return!"

A gleam of determination flashed in Chu Ze's eyes, and he walked out of the hall.

A moment later, the three generals Guo Huai, Lin Ye and Yue Feihe had gathered in the hall, waiting solemnly.

Chu Ze, dressed in military uniform, looked majestic. He walked to the map and swept his eyes over the three people.

"The enemy is coming with great force this time, intending to capture Tiandu City in one fell swoop!" Chu Ze got straight to the point, his tone revealing a resolute aura: "This offensive is extraordinary, the Mongolian and Xixia coalition forces have excellent coordination and complex tactics.

If there is any mistake, Tiandu City will be in danger!"

Guo Huai clasped his fists and stepped forward, his expression solemn: "Your Majesty, I have sent spies to continue to investigate the enemy's movements.

Although the enemy is numerous, if Tiandu City is well defended, it may be possible to defeat the enemy with fewer troops!"

Chu Ze nodded and turned his gaze to Lin Ye: "Lin Ye, do you have any plan?"

Lin Ye bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the enemy's force is so fierce this time, they must have something to rely on.

In my opinion, the enemy may launch a surprise attack from the south gate.

The terrain of the South Gate is relatively flat. If the enemy intends to attack by force, they will definitely choose this place as a breakthrough point! "

"That's right!" Chu Ze nodded slowly: "The South Gate is indeed the best choice for the enemy to attack.

But I have anticipated this. The defenses of the South Gate have been reinforced for many days and will not be easily breached by the enemy!"

“Yue Feihe!” Chu Ze turned to look at the head of the Five Mountains Sword Sect and continued, “If the elite disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect can help me defend the east gate, they can block the enemy’s flank!”

Yue Feihe smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, although there are not many disciples in the Five Mountains Sword Sect, they are all elites. They will definitely be able to guard the East Gate and prevent the enemy from taking a single step beyond the line!"

Chu Ze's eyes were firm and his tone was cold: "If the enemy dares to attack, I will make sure they never return!"

The three generals said in unison: "We swear to be loyal to your majesty until death and defend Tiandu!"

As Chu Ze's order was conveyed, the entire Tiandu City quickly entered a state of alert.

On the city wall, soldiers were busy carrying arrows, with swords and spears lined up in neat formations.

The city gates were tightly closed, and the moat was surging, like a natural barrier that separated the inside and outside of the city. Chu Ze personally climbed up the city wall and inspected the defense lines.

The cold wind was howling, the battle flags were fluttering, and a strong atmosphere of solemnity and murder was filling the air above the city walls.

Chu Ze stood on a high place, looking into the distance, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Your Majesty, the east gate defense line has been reinforced, and disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect are stationed there!" Yue Feihe's voice came from behind.

Chu Ze turned his back to him and said in a deep voice, “Very good.

If the enemy dares to attack from the east gate, they will never return!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Yue Feihe nodded: "We will do our best to defend Tiandu to the death!"

As the night deepened, Tiandu City was shrouded in silence, with only the soldiers patrolling the city walls in a hurry.

Chu Ze's figure was still standing on the city wall, his eyes never leaving the distance.

Suddenly, in the darkness in the distance, the sound of muffled horse hooves could be heard.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook slightly, as if thousands of troops were approaching Tiandu City.

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Finally!"

Guo Huai stepped forward quickly, his expression solemn: "Your Majesty, the enemy has arrived, and is only ten miles away from Tiandu City.

The spies reported that the enemy troops were coming in three directions, intending to surround Tiandu!"

Chu Ze's eyes turned cold, and he whispered, "Humph, you are using the same old trick again, trying to force me out of the city by surrounding me? Tell the soldiers to hold the city firmly and not go out to fight easily!"

Guo Huai responded: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

A moment later, fires flickered outside Tiandu City, and the dark coalition forces of Mongolia and Western Xia were approaching the city.

In the enemy's camp, war drums beat, trumpets blew, and the sound of killing shook the earth.

Chu Ze stared at the enemy coldly, his voice icy: "I want to see how capable they are to break through my Tiandu City!"

The enemy's war drums were beating more and more frequently, and it was obvious that they were preparing to attack.

Chu Ze waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Shoot!"

As the order was given, countless archers on the city wall drew their bows and shot arrows at the enemy like rain, and screams were heard everywhere in an instant.

Chu Ze stood on the city wall, his eyes as sharp as torches, watching everything coldly, as if everything was under his control.

"No matter how strong the enemy is, it's just this much!" he said lightly, with a hint of disdain in his tone.

At this moment, a rapid horn sounded suddenly in the distance, followed by the lighting of countless torches. It was obvious that the enemy was preparing to launch a general attack.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has begun to attack!" Guo Huai looked solemn and walked forward quickly.

Chu Ze turned around slowly, a sneer on his face: "Order the entire army to prepare to meet the enemy! Tonight, I will let them know what Tiandu Iron Wall is!"

Guo Huai took the order and left. In an instant, fire flashed on the city wall, and the cold light of swords, spears, and halberds flashed everywhere. The morale of the defenders was high, and waves of murderous aura rose to the sky.

Amid the sound of war drums, the atmosphere inside and outside Tiandu City suddenly became tense, as if an earth-shattering battle was about to break out.

Chu Ze still stood on the city wall, his eyes sharp as torches, scanning the approaching enemy troops.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture upright, his bearing like an immovable god. (End of this chapter)
