Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At this time, Wang Ben advised anxiously: "Your Majesty, the current situation is critical and time is running out! The armies of various princes are already at the gates of the city and may break through the city at any time. I hope Your Majesty will quickly follow me to break out. Even if I risk my life, I will definitely protect you! As long as Your Majesty can arrive at the northern border safely, we still have hope of regrouping..." Having said this, Wang Ben suddenly paused, as if he didn't know how to continue for a moment.

While Wang Ben was hesitating, Fusu finally came to his senses. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his surging emotions, and then said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Old General, there is no need to persuade me anymore. I know the current situation of the Northern Border Army. There is a serious shortage of money and food. Let alone making a comeback, what is the use of me going to the Northern Border?"

"Your Majesty, you..." Wang Ben's lips trembled as he listened to Fusu's words. His throat seemed to be blocked by something. He opened his mouth but found that he didn't know where to start. Fusu was right. The current situation was indeed critical, but Wang Ben was still shocked by his resolute decision.

At this moment, Fusu suddenly shouted in a stern voice: "Wang Ben, listen to my orders!" This shout was like a thunder in everyone's ears. Wang Ben's body shook violently, and then he knelt on his knees without hesitation, bowed his head and responded: "Your Majesty!"

"I order you to lead the royal family members to break out immediately and make sure to successfully meet up with Wang Li's troops. There must not be any delay!" Fusu's eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at Wang Ben who was kneeling in front of him, his tone was firm and unquestionable.

"What...what? Your Majesty, you are..." Wang Ben raised his head instantly after hearing this, his face full of astonishment. He stared at Fusu with wide eyes, and he could never have imagined that the other party would actually give such an order. This clearly meant that he was determined to die!

Facing Wang Ben's expression of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost, Fusu's face was as gloomy as water. His deep and cold eyes stared straight at Wang Ben, and he responded without emotion: "Wang Ben, do you dare to disobey my will? Humph! As long as my Great Qin still exists in the world, I will always be the supreme emperor of this Great Qin!"

At this moment, Fusu, who was standing there, actually exuded a trace of the majesty and domineering of Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, which made people look at him sideways. However, it was a pity that all this came too late. In fact, Fusu himself was as clear as a mirror in his heart, and he was very clear about the current situation. Because of this, he had to make such a difficult decision.

Not to mention that it would take Wang Li's troops five days to arrive here to reinforce, the current situation of Xianyang City was already precarious, and it was probably only able to hold out for another day or two at most. This was already a miracle among miracles. During this period of time, the continuous fierce battles had already pushed the soldiers defending the city to the brink of collapse.

Although these soldiers are all experienced elites, they are not made of iron after all. How can they fight continuously without sleep? At this moment, the defenders in Xianyang have already reached the limit of what they can bear. If they cannot get effective support as soon as possible or come up with other ways to break the deadlock, the city may fall into an irretrievable situation at any time due to the psychological and physical collapse of the defenders.

"Yes..." Hearing Fusu's resolute words, Wang Ben felt a sharp pain in his heart, as if he was hit hard by a heavy hammer. But as a subject, he knew that he could not disobey the king's order. Even though he was full of grief and unwillingness, he could only grit his teeth, hold back his tears, and nodded heavily to accept the order.

At dawn the next day, when the sun had just shone a little from the horizon, Wang Ben led 5,000 elite cavalrymen, closely guarded the royal family members, and quietly approached the west gate. At this time, the sky was still about to dawn, and the hazy morning mist covered the earth, adding a bit of mystery and concealment to their actions.

In order to ensure that as many people as possible could successfully break through, Wang Ben decisively decided to adopt a dispersed breakout strategy. After all, the main attention of the imperial army was still focused on Fusu, and even if some of these small-scale breakout troops escaped, they would probably just regard them as soldiers sent out for help and would not care too much.

At the same time, Yi Xiaochuan on the other side had already carefully prepared everything. He was wearing the battle robe of General Meng Yi, looking heroic, followed by thousands of soldiers wearing Qin army armor. They pretended to be exhausted and hurried back, and ran straight to the east gate. Of course, they kept fighting with the Chu army along the way, and then dragged them away, trying to make this scene as similar to the real thing as possible.

When they approached the east gate, Yi Xiaochuan shouted loudly: "Quick! Quick! Open the city gate, I am Meng Yi, open the city gate quickly..."

His voice echoed in the quiet morning, instantly breaking the original tranquility of the East Gate. After hearing the shouts, the defenders on the city wall became nervous and cast their eyes on Yi Xiaochuan and his group. Some soldiers began to run around and tell each other, while others tightly grasped their weapons and watched the movements below the city vigilantly.

Yi Xiaochuan held a long knife in his hand, and his figure shuttled among the enemy troops like a ghost. He bravely moved forward and rushed towards the direction of the city regardless of everything.

Just now, Yi Xiaochuan's brave and fearless charge really surprised the defenders on the city wall, and they instantly fell into a panic. Especially when they heard that the visitor was the famous General Meng Yi, they became even more panicked. The defenders looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the sudden situation. So, they did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately sent someone to pass this shocking news to their superiors.

At the same time, since Wang Ben left Xianyang, Fusu did not return to the palace as usual, but did something unexpected - he climbed the city wall himself for the first time. At this moment, Fusu was already determined to die, and he had no fear or hesitation about climbing the city wall to confront the enemy head-on.

Soon after Fusu climbed the city wall, someone reported to him that Meng Yi had returned to Xianyang and had arrived near the east gate. Upon hearing the news, Fusu stood up and ran to the east gate without hesitation. When he finally saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure at the city gate from afar, his eyes instantly burned with rage.
