Chen Palace

Chapter 177 Offense and Defense
"Is there something wrong?"

Qin Xi's heart sank, but he didn't dare to speculate, and asked the emperor while looking at the expression on his face.

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that I don't want to eat these..."

The emperor glanced at him, and Qin Xi immediately understood. He glanced at the maid at the side, and said with a smile: "I think Long live doesn't like sweets, so this servant will take the things away."

He carefully picked up the bird's nest and backed out.

When passing the courtyard gate, the guard guarding the gate joked with him——

"Eunuch Qin, such a top-notch blood swallow has taken advantage of you, when will you share a share of the pie?"

Qin Xi didn't say a word, and went up to him in a panic, "This is prepared by the empress for Long Live, but can you eat it?"

The guards were young and energetic, and couldn't help complaining: "Long live, don't take it down, why can't we eat it?!"

Qin Xi looked at him, showing a strange sneer, "This is cooked by Concubine Yun herself - if you are really lucky, you can take it back and taste it!"

He emphasized the word "hands-on". Although the guards were young, they were not fools. Hearing the words was like enlightenment, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Could it be that in this soup...?"

Qin Xi gave him another slap, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

He ignored the ignorant young man and walked away. The older guard beside him comforted him and said, "You'd better not touch the belongings of the nobles, because there are things inside that can't be detected even with a silver needle..."

As he spoke, he shivered too, so he kept silent.

The stern sound of the police whistle on the city wall filled everyone's ears, but the strange whistle outside the city was clearer and more passionate, and it resolutely passed through this weight.

"It's the Ming Dy of the Tatar king's tent!"

Chen Lu's face turned cold, Shen Shen Jiang had already spoken, his expression was cold and serious, as if he had put life and death aside.

The Ming Dy of the king's tent symbolizes the Khan's supreme authority. Once an order is issued, even if it refers to parents and friends, ten thousand arrows will surely be fired.

"Are you going to kill them all?"

Shen Shenjiang whispered while ordering people to urgently strengthen the city wall.

The sun was shining on the vast plain below the city, and we could see the punt grass was trampled to green and yellow, and the black armor and knives and arrows were lined up in front of the array, and the rough faces could not be seen clearly, but they carried a fierce evil spirit.

Countless cold lights shone brightly under the bright sun, causing mountains, rivers, plants and trees to tremble.

The snow peak in the distance is shining brightly, like a celestial being, quietly looking down on this human slaughter.

Rolling logs fell from above, ladders were lifted and set up again, crossbow arrows with flames flew over the top of the city, and endless blood flowed from the cracks in the city bricks.

Some people fell from the top of the city, either screaming miserably or silently, but the bystanders were furious, roaring and rushing forward.

The sky was as clear as blue, and the gloomy light of Qiang Ya in the darkness could be seen everywhere.

The Tartars came closer and closer, and the sound of their cheers and prayers to the Immortal could almost be heard, as if the wind was rustling.

Dust covered half of the sky, and the earth seemed to be moaning endlessly.

On the top of the city, you can already see the special scimitars made by the Tatars, reflecting the splashed blood brightly. It is fleeting, but it is becoming more and more critical.

A sharp whistling sound flew over the top of the head, and Chen Lu calmly dodged an arrow, allowing it to be nailed into the city bricks, making a buzzing sound.

"Good archery!"

She actually smiled and praised, Shen Shenjiang saw this scene and was frightened out of his wits, but he was responsible for defending the city and had no time to take care of it.

The scimitars on the top of the city gradually increased, and the Tatar warriors in black armor finally occupied a small space on the city wall.

It's like a small and dangerous dark cloud, but it's about to overwhelm the city!

The soldiers guarding the city sweated their skirts amidst the sound of Jing Ge, and they looked at this ominous dark cloud with disgusted eyes.

As if a torrent meets a boulder, the dark cloud is still being torn apart, killing, shattered for a moment, but then stubbornly recovers.

The second batch of soldiers on the ladder had arrived, and they rushed to the city shouting, covering their companions with wooden and leather shields.

Chen Lu chuckled, pointing the arrow in her hand at the blue sky——

Following her gesture, the strings of countless large bows trembled, making a wonderful buzzing sound, passing over these Tatar soldiers, bending and falling into the army below the city.

The flashing arrows immediately bloomed into bright red flowers, and the army was in a commotion, unable to gather a complete formation.

A barrel of arrows took the lives of countless people. After several repeated attempts at the top of the city, the defenders finally couldn't hold on, and their morale began to decline.

"it's time!"

Chen Lu motioned to General Shen, who, although hesitating, sounded the horn to signal to retreat.

The defenders retreated like a tide, quickly retreating from the city wall, and the victors panted and sat down on the spot, already extremely tired.
