Chapter 133 "Kill! Whoever kills Su Muxi will receive 2 gold and the rank of general.
The small battle in Guanyang City was a victory. Su Muxi asked Li Rong to arrange people to settle the people and took A Er to the outer city gate.
The Feng Kingdom's army was approaching, and King Jingnan was sitting in his chariot. The reason he hadn't attacked the city yet was that he was waiting for the defender of Guanyang City to surrender.
Yun Chao captured two cities, and he voluntarily gave up the two cities. Yun Chao's forces were dispersed, and he originally wanted to nibble away at them slowly, but the affairs in the palace did not allow him to take his time.
According to the agreement, the city was to be attacked at Chenshi, but now it was almost Sishi and Jinling had not returned yet. Prince Jingnan pondered for a long time and decided not to wait any longer. He arranged for people to pick up Jinling and then ordered the attack on the city.
At this time, Su Muxi had just climbed onto the city wall. The army was approaching, but the commander was not there and had taken away some soldiers. Due to internal and external troubles, the morale of the soldiers was low. Facing the endless mass of Feng troops under the city, they were defeated before they even started fighting.
Su Muxi picked up the drumstick from the ground and started beating it. "Soldiers, show your courage, guard the city gates, and guard our homes."
Ah Er was standing by and cleared away a sharp arrow for Su Muxi. "The princess is here. Brothers, for the sake of our homeland, we will defend Guanyang City to the death."
The war drums sounded, and Su Muxi's long hair fluttered in the wind. She was thin, but she stood tall at this moment. There were the most arrows here, but they could not shake her at all. As long as she stood here, she would represent the morale of the army.
The soldiers were like chicken blood, their morale suddenly increased, and they unconsciously followed Ah Er's words, "We swear to defend Guanyang City and our homeland to the death."
All the stones were thrown and all the arrows were shot. The Feng army advanced layer by layer. Only 20% of the 30,000 soldiers defending Guanyang City were killed. Li Rong was injured. "Princess, we are out of ammunition and food..."
Li Rong couldn't continue, "I'm afraid the city gate can't be defended..."
Su Muxi's body was covered in blood. She had no armor, only coarse linen clothes to disguise herself as a civilian. She knew the situation on the battlefield like a mirror. She had arranged everything she could before this. Now there was no other way except to defend Guanyang City to the death.
"General Li, I will live and die with my soldiers." She only said this one sentence, then threw away the drumstick in her hand, picked up the red tassel spear, and was already at the point of a bloody fight.
Li Rong's eyes were red, and his bloody arm was pumping blood again because he held the knife too hard. He murmured and repeated Su Muxi's words, and then raised the knife in his hand as if he had hit a chicken, "Protect our homeland, protect Guanyang City, protect our relatives, and live and die with Guanyang City."
"Protect our homeland, protect Guanyang City, protect our loved ones, and live and die together with Guanyang City."
The soldiers clenched their swords, they knew that once the city gate was broken, it would be the time for them to shed their blood on the battlefield, but they were not afraid. The fierce cold wind could not extinguish the passion in the patriotic soldiers' hearts.
That slender figure was as tall as a towering mountain at this moment. As long as she stood there, they would burn to the last moment even if it was a situation of death.
The city gate was broken, Su Muxi took the lead, wielding the red tasseled spear until only an afterimage was left, without the slightest bit of fancy moves, and every move he made could pierce the enemy's armor.
Amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the soldiers used their bodies to block the attack from Feng State. Even though the city gates were broken and their homes were destroyed, they would not retreat a single step.
When King Jingnan saw Su Muxi beating the drum on the city wall, he knew that the battle would be difficult, but he had 200,000 soldiers and horses, and he was confident that he could capture Guanyang City, but he didn't know it would be so tragic.
"Kill! Whoever kills Su Muxi will receive ten thousand taels of gold and the rank of general."
Feng Jun was killing madly, and Su Muxi was also killing madly. Her right arm, which had just recovered, was in unbearable pain at this time, but she seemed not to feel it. The tragedy of her last life, the calculations of this life, and the depression in her heart, all turned into burning fighting spirit at this moment.
"Kill! To protect our soldiers, to protect our homes, kill!!!"
A sharp female voice broke through the layers of people and reached the ears of every soldier. The reinforcements they were waiting for were the people of Guanyang City and Hanshui City, young women and old men. None of them even had a decent weapon in their hands, but they rushed forward with firm steps.
The soldiers' eyes were red, their hearts were burning, their exhausted physical strength was rekindled, "Kill, kill, kill!!!"
The red tasseled spear was broken, the handle cracked, and blood was dripping. Su Muxi wanted to pick up a knife, but her trembling hands made it impossible for her to hold it. When the blade came at her, Su Muxi closed her eyes in self-mockery.
The pain did not come, and Su Muxi's exhausted body was caught by someone. Su Muxi looked at the person in a daze, she didn't expect that he actually dared to come.
"Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming," the soldiers cried with joy, the common people were in tears, Li Rong shouted loudly, "Reinforcements are coming, soldiers charge!"
Thirty thousand against two hundred thousand, even if all the people in the city picked up knives and carried guns, it would be like an egg against a rock. But they were brave and ruthless, and with their burning patriotic hearts, they guarded the homes on which they depended for survival, and they waited for reinforcements.
Xiao Yunjin held Su Muxi with one hand and pulled out the sword that was stuck in the enemy's body with the other hand. He was almost, just almost going to lose Su Muxi. His heart went from beating like a drum to beating like thunder, but in a blink of an eye, Su Muxi was fine and he was alive again. He had a lot to say but now was not the time to say anything.
He held the person tighter in his arms, "Reinforcements are here, Princess, you can rest now."
Su Muxi raised the corner of her mouth. She had waited for it. Her plan succeeded. She had waited for Xiao Yunjin.
From the moment she met He Yuncheng, she had been wondering in what identity Xiao Yunjin would appear. She couldn't wait for the hunt, nor could she wait until six years later, so she asked Er to take the news to the Cangliang Mountains.
Since she couldn't guess, she would give the military merit to Xiao Yunjin and put it on his face. Compared with cooperating with Fengguo and Yuguo, real military merit, she didn't believe that Xiao Yunjin could tolerate it.
She won the bet. Xiao Yunjin came. He was wearing golden armor and had a stern face. He looked different just by changing his expression. Su Muxi stood firm and pushed him away. "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Jin."
Xiao Yun was stimulated by the words "Your Highness Prince Jin". He choked up and suppressed his surging emotions. Su Muxi was not surprised or frightened. He calmly accepted the resurrection of a dead man.
He clenched his fists, his palms were cold, blood stained his clothes, but it froze into icy armor in the cold wind, "You are injured, so retreat first! I'm here."
"It's been ready for a long time," Su Muxi picked up a knife with his left hand and rushed into the battlefield.
The blood-stained cotton coat, the cold armor, the hot chest, this scene deeply attracted Xiao Yunjin.
