The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

At this time, Commander Xue also came to Hua Wuke's side and said anxiously:

"Miss, Yuecheng is about to be breached, please go back to Beimo Pass first!"

Having followed Hua Wu Ke for so long, Qing Zhu also knew that Hua Wu Ke had always regarded him as a member of the Xuantie Army and the Hua Family Army.

Hua Wu Ke would never do such a thing as abandoning the civilians and his comrades who fought side by side with him and running away alone.

So even though Qingzhu also hoped that Hua Wuke could live well, she still did not persuade Hua Wuke to leave.

Hua Wu Ke looked at the crumbling city gate below, his heart filled with sadness.

But she still shook her head and said:

"As a member of the Hua family army, how can I escape from the battlefield?"

"Commander Xue, Qingzhu, I now order you to take a team of troops and escort the food and fodder back to Beimo Pass. Set off immediately!"

Qingzhu didn't expect Hua Wuke to ask her to leave.

She refused without thinking:

"Qingzhu will never leave the young lady here alone!"

Commander Xue didn't expect that Hua Wu Ke would not only not leave himself, but also ask him to leave.

He immediately knelt on one knee and said:

"Miss, the prince ordered us to protect your safety. If you don't leave, I will never leave alone!"

Hua Wu Ke understood that Commander Xue and Qing Zhu were both sent by Ye Buhuo to protect him.

But I am destined to live and die with Yuecheng, so why should I drag you to die with me?

Hua Wu Ke thought to himself.

"Take the food back to Beimo Pass. Prince An and my father will understand. Do you want to see the food fall into the hands of the Western Kingdom?"

Qingzhu was unmoved by this statement.

In Qingzhu's heart, she is Princess An's secret guard and the personal maid of the third lady of the Hua family.

Nothing is more important than Hua Wuke's safety.

Qingzhu didn't take Hua Wu Ke's words to heart, but Commander Xue understood.

If the grain cannot be transported back to Beimo Pass but instead remains in Yuecheng and is occupied by the Western Kingdom, it would be a fatal blow to the soldiers of Beimo Pass.

Just when Commander Xue was feeling extremely tormented, the sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.

The sky suddenly turned dark, and then raindrops as big as beans began to fall, so densely packed that people could not open their eyes completely.

Because of the sudden heavy rain, the enemy's offensive was also affected and was not as rapid and fierce as before.

Although the enemy had to slow down their offensive because of the rain, Hua Wu Ke did not feel the slightest bit relieved.

Instead, a solemn look appeared on her face.

Rainy days are bound to affect the progress of escorting grain. It has been delayed in Yuecheng for two days, and the grain cannot be delayed any longer.

Hua Wu Ke said:

"Commander Xue, please set off quickly. The food must be sent back to Beimoguan as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rain suddenly became heavier, as if someone was pouring rain down from the sky.

A gust of wind mixed with rain blew on the face, making it impossible to open the eyes.

Looking at the heavy rain, Commander Xue said hesitantly:

"Miss, this..."

With the rain so heavy, it was impossible for Commander Xue to continue transporting the food.

Hua Wu Ke had no choice but to put the plan of escorting the grain on hold.

Hua Wu Ke and Commander Xue rejoined the battlefield.

The clothes had already been soaked by the rain. Although winter was almost over, the rain was still cold.

Wrapped in wet clothes, the cold air penetrated directly into Hua Wu Ke's body.

But Hua Wu Ke seemed not to feel the cold.

All she was thinking about at this moment was what to do at Beimo Pass, and how the Hua Family Army and the Xuantie Army would fight the enemy if they could not replenish their food in time.

"Commander Xue."

Hua Wu Ke suddenly shouted.

Commander Xue pulled the knife out of the enemy's body and replied:

"What are your orders, Miss?"

"Tell a few people to guard the food. Once Yuecheng is breached, burn all the food!"

He was about to die in Yuecheng, and he could not bring any food back to Beimoguan.

Not leaving food for the enemy is the only thing Hua Wu Ke can do now.

Just then, Song Ping came running over holding a box.

He ran over, opened the box to Hua Wu Ke, and said:

"In one night, I made these two hundred arrows."

An ordinary craftsman can only make forty or fifty in one night.

It was not easy for Song Ping to complete two hundred in such a short time.

But when he looked at the broken city gate, he felt sad. He thought he could save Yuecheng from the disaster with the skills inherited from his father, but he didn't expect that his strength was just a drop in the bucket.

Song Ping laughed bitterly at himself and said helplessly:

“But now it seems that it has no effect.”

Although defeat was already certain at this point, Hua Wu Ke didn't want to see everyone waiting to die in such a decadent state.

She took an arrow from Song Ping and placed it on the bow.

As she drew her bow, she spoke:

"Even if I die, I will take these enemies with me to be buried with me!"

As he spoke, a feather arrow pierced through the pouring rain like a meteor and shot straight into the enemy's heart.

The enemy fell to the ground, splashing a pool of blood-red rain.

The fighting spirit that was almost extinguished in the hearts of the Yuecheng soldiers was rekindled by this scene.

"Yes! Let them be buried with me!"

"Buried with Yuecheng!"

"Bury with your dead brother!"

……

They roared and slashed at the enemy with their swords, the sadness in their hearts having been burned away by the blazing flames of war.

The two hundred arrows were used up in less than a moment, and the soldiers had only a few weapons left.

There are more and more enemies on the city wall, and fewer and fewer comrades around.

A soldier was stabbed in the chest by the enemy. He could not hold on and slid down the city wall and sat down against it.

He looked at his comrade who was also sitting next to him but already cold.

He opened his bleeding mouth and laughed a few times, then said:

"Erniu, you can't do that. I have killed many more thieves than you."

After a pause, he continued:

"I also killed the bastard who killed you. I avenged you!"

Then she gently closed his eyelids with her hands, and then slowly closed her own eyes.

The city gate was already creaking and shaking from being hit.

Hua Wu Ke looked at the crumbling city gate and felt more and more desperate.

Grandfather, father, elder brother... Ye Buhuo...

She silently thought of them in her heart, her mind full of thoughts, yet it seemed blank.

There was no pain from the wounds on his body, he just stared blankly at the shaking city gate with his eyes open.

I saw the city gate shaking more and more violently, as if it was about to fall down.

At this critical moment, Commander Xue suddenly pointed to the distance and said blankly:

"I seem to have seen the Black Iron Army..."

Hua Wu Ke was awakened by the three words "Xuan Tie Army".

She came back to her senses from her thoughts and looked in the direction Commander Xue was pointing.

A triangular piece of black armor was coming towards Yuecheng at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although there were not many black armors, they were unstoppable and no enemy could stop them wherever they went.

The soldiers on the city wall were all amazed and admired the bravery of the man in black armor.

Only Hua Wu Ke seemed to be oblivious to so many people, and just stared at the front of the black armor.
