After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

As Fu Guiyun had expected, not long after nightfall, a rain of arrows began to fly across the night sky, and dense clusters of arrows were everywhere on the city walls.

Fortunately, she had already asked people to take precautions, so the soldiers were not caught off guard and became sitting ducks.

After a long siege, the Tuoyue people were obviously getting anxious. All the arrows they used were dipped in kerosene. When they landed on the city, they quickly formed a fire that began to spread, as if they were going to completely destroy the entire city.

Inspired by the warriors in the evening, the soldiers defending the city became even more brave. They were determined to die and accompanied Fu Guiyun to continue to stubbornly resist the enemy's fierce attacks.

Under her supervision, everyone divided the work and cooperated with each other. The shield soldiers protected the defenders and civilians on the top of the city and killed the enemy who tried to climb up the city. Some menial soldiers and women fetched water from the bottom of the city to put out the fire.

It seemed that Prince Tuoyue had gone mad. This round of attack had already treated the vanguard army as a living target. The arrows shot onto the top of the city wall were no longer a cover for the siege. Arrows were shot in all directions, without distinguishing between friend and foe. No matter whether it was the Tuoyue army that attacked the top of the city wall or the guards of the royal palace, people fell down from time to time.

Fu Guiyun had never experienced such a brutal fight even in his previous life.

Watching people being shot by arrows, and some falling down the city wall together with the enemy soldiers who had climbed up the city wall before dying, she didn't know when she would fall down like them.

But thinking of the entrustment of the men who were going to the West Village, as well as her mother-in-law and two little ones who were personally staying in the mansion and were willing to live and die with her, she dragged her tired body, raised the sword again, and had to fight bravely with the soldiers.

Compared to Caidie's brute strength and women like Fuxiang and Lixue who make their livings through martial arts, she admits that she cannot compare with them. But she knows that as long as she stands on this city wall, the soldiers will have more courage to kill the enemy.

Therefore, she must lead everyone to hold on until reinforcements return.

There was chaos on the top of the city. Fu Guiyun and Fuxiang each led their men to fight the enemy to the death at both ends of the city wall. Suddenly, several sharp arrows attacked swiftly. Fu Guiyun pulled Caidie to avoid the arrows when he heard a sharp scream from behind.

"Elder Concubine."

The two looked back upon hearing the voice, and saw a burly man leaping up from the city wall, the cold knife in his hand slashing straight at Han Nian who rushed over to protect him.

Immediately afterwards, two sharp arrows flashed and pierced her chest and abdomen.

"Aunt Han."

Caidie was so frightened that her face turned pale. She rushed over and dragged the man over. Fu Guiyun took advantage of the situation and chopped the big man's leg with a knife. The man rolled down and directly overturned the ladder.

The two of them worked together to support Han Nian to the back of the parapet. Caidie carefully supported her in her arms and cried out of heartache.

Looking at Han Nian whose mouth was bleeding from the concussion, Fu Guiyun's mind suddenly went blank.

Han Nian felt her whole body was light and she was completely unconscious. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Fu Guiyun tightly.

"My mother said that you are the best mistress in the world, the mistress who can allow the people of Liyang City to continue to live a good life. I don't understand this, but my father and brother both died to protect Liyang City. I cannot disgrace their heroic names."

Her voice was trembling and Fu Guiyun could not hear it clearly. He only heard the second half of her sentence clearly.

"You've been very brave."

Pulling out a handkerchief from his bosom, Fu Guiyun wiped the corners of her mouth in a panic, and kept comforting her: "You must hold on, I will have someone send you back right away, Doctor Xue and Doctor Liu will definitely cure you."

Han Nian slowly lowered his eyes, glanced at the two arrow shafts in front of his chest, forced a smile and shook his head.

She knew she was going to die, but she still had a lot to say.

She had always thought that the prince was the best person in the world to her besides his father, brothers and mother, and she was also deeply grateful to him for saving her from Liucheng.

He thought the best man in the world was just like this.

So, even being his aunt would be a happy thing.

But after going through so many things, she has seen through it. Everything the prince did was just to maintain his dignity as a man. Even when he killed Liu Cheng, he also felt that she was someone he protected and should not be looked down upon.

From the beginning to the end, she was just a plaything in the hands of the prince.

On the contrary, it was the Crown Prince's wife who was the most considerate of these women. After she was humiliated, she still thought of finding a way for her to survive.

Although she refused to admit it, she had already accepted her mother's words in her heart.

She regretted not accepting Lu Youxi's marriage proposal and letting the woman in front of her down.

"I still remember the first time I met the Crown Prince's Consort, I could hold her hand freely."

Blood and tears intertwined, she looked at Fu Guiyun eagerly and asked slowly: "Can I still call you sister-in-law?"

The feeling Fu Guiyun was feeling at this moment was really indescribable.

Although she accepted Han Nian in order to fulfill the prince's request, she did put her heart into teaching her well. Even though she was willful again and again, she only treated her as a child who had just come of age.

But this girl is too naive. She thinks that she can call the wind and rain by relying on Lu Linchu. However, there is no unchanging human heart in this world. There is only unchanging exchange of interests.

Seeing that she had no strength left, Fu Guiyun could only nod and say, "Yeah."

Han Nian pursed his lips and smiled contentedly, and his unruly eyes were tightly closed at this moment.

"Aunt Han."

Caidie shouted at a loss. Fu Guiyun felt upset, but she didn't have the energy to be sad at this time. She just told Caidie to call a few people back to the palace, and then continued to go to the top of the city to order the soldiers to fight bravely.

At the water fort in the west, corpses were floating on the surface of the river. The color of the water could no longer be seen, but people were still rushing towards the gate of the fort that was about to be breached.

Lu Linzhi had led the Li Ren Gang to hold out at the water stronghold for half a month and was already exhausted, with many new injuries all over his body.

After being helped to the back, he still held the sword tightly, standing firmly in the same place, quietly watching the brothers who died in the battle. The pain in his heart once again tore the arrow wounds in his chest and abdomen, and blood dripped down his arms to the ground.

Knowing that the man was still holding on to the city wall, he smiled with relief, forcibly raised his unconscious arm, pointed his sword at the water fort, and shouted hoarsely: "As long as we still have a breath left, we must not let Tuoyueyunwei break through the water fort."

As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of spies began to ring out around him: "Report, Fourth Young Master, the leader of the Qingsu Gang has led 50,000 members of the Liren Gang to attack the rear of the Tuoyueyun Guard."

On the tower, someone also hurriedly reported: "Your Highness Princess, the Lord of Huayi City is leading 20,000 Ye family warriors to rescue Liyang City."

Fu Guiyun and Lu Linzhi issued orders at almost the same time: "Fight out of the city and avenge the fallen soldiers."
