Make You Happy

  Chapter 335 Strength of character

  When it was dusk, Li Han, the fourth prince of Ningguo, was about to go to patrol the city gate tower. Xin Xinyang stopped him and replaced him with himself.

  Because outside Changzhou City at this time, it suddenly became extremely quiet.

  After the Jie tribe attacked the city and retreated again, it seemed that there was no movement at all.

   At this time, you should be more cautious.

  Fourth Prince Li Han has a noble status after all, and Xinyang will not let him go on patrol easily.

   Fortunately, Li Han is not obsessed with this. After being told to be careful, he is ready to take a good rest, recharge his energy and wait for the Jie people to attack the city again.

  Xinyang casually drank a bowl of white porridge, then took a few of his own soldiers to the top of the city gate.

  When he looked into the distance, he could only see a vast expanse of darkness.

  I don’t know why this day, the sky is so dark that people feel panic.

  In order to avoid the night attack of the Jie people, Xinyang turned around and prepared to order people to light some torches outside the city gate.

   And at this moment, the sound of sharp arrows piercing through the air suddenly sounded behind him.

  Xinyang's eyes suddenly changed, and he quickly bent down.

"careful!"

   When he bent down, he saw a soldier under him who seemed to be frightened, standing there stupidly.

  Xinyang immediately reached out to give him a hand.

  But...after all, it was one step too late.

  The arrow hit him directly between the eyebrows, and the soldier fell down the city gate without saying a word.

  Xinyang remembers that this little soldier came to him at the beginning of this year, but at the age of twelve, he is usually very clever.

  But it happens...

  He was still one step too late after all.

  Suppressing the grief in his heart, Xinyang rolled on the spot, hiding his figure behind the shadow of the city wall, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice:

  「Enemy attack! Be alert!」

The originally quiet night sky seemed to explode suddenly, and the rain of arrows with flames came suddenly, and the soldiers defending the city responded in a timely manner. The burning things were put away. A group of people picked up their shields to resist the incoming arrow rain.

  The news of the enemy attack quickly spread in Changzhou City. Li Han, who had just fallen asleep, put on his armor quickly and ran towards the gate tower without saying a word.

   Fortunately, he arrived in time. After he arrived, Xinyang immediately led troops out of the city gate to meet the enemy.

  The one guarding the gate tower was naturally replaced by Li Han.

  In the past few days, the two of them have always been like this.

   Li Han is in charge of guarding the rear, and Xinyang leads people to confront the Jie people head-on.

   However, after Xinyang led his troops out of the city and saw the opponent's person, his face paled instantly.

  The one who led the Jie people to attack the city this time... was actually their general, Lie Sun.

   A few times before, the scorching sun did not show up.

  And his appearance this time...does it symbolize that they are ready...to go all out...

  The two sides faced each other silently for a while, Lie Yang suddenly smiled, and spoke loudly:

   "Your General Ruan probably won't come back. When he was here before, I would still be a little bit afraid. But now...to be honest, without the Ruan family, you people...have nothing to fear."

  Hearing the other party's straightforward opening, Xinyang was naturally very annoyed.

  But...he couldn't think of anything to refute.

  Because, only Ruan Ye can fight against this person.

   And he... might not last long...

  However, even if it doesn't last long...he must fight to the death.

  Otherwise, if he loses because of the other party's words, he will lose the face of the entire Ning country.

   Before he could speak, the scorching sun spoke again: "I will give you a way to save your life, surrender and abandon the city."

   "Impossible!" Xinyang immediately replied coldly.

Lie Yang still had an annoying smile on his face: "As far as I know, there are only five thousand guards in your Changzhou city. But this time, our Jie army has more than one hundred thousand people. Besides, you don't have to I imagined that there would be troops from other cities coming to support me.”

   "What do you mean?" Xinyang's heart suddenly sounded like a drum, and a bad idea popped up.

   Sure enough, Lie Yang's answer gradually turned his face pale.

"You may not know that your city of Changzhou has been abandoned by the royal family of Ningguo. If there is no accident, your capital should be in chaos now. Your former prince may be enthroned as emperor. And he has promised Let’s give up Changzhou City to our Jie tribe. Why, haven’t you heard the news? Why do you stick to the place that people don’t want anymore? And... without the emperor’s order, other places should not dare to send troops without authorization Come to support? So, let me say, surrender quickly, and you can save your life. Otherwise..."

   The bloodthirsty smile on Lie Yang's mouth made Xin Yang feel very dazzling.

  「Until we receive any orders, we will live and die with Changzhou City!」

  Lie Ri's words just now were naturally heard by the soldiers following Xinyang. Most of them belonged to the Ruan family's army. They naturally knew best how much the Ruan family had put in to defend Changzhou City.

  So, after the scorching sun finished speaking, some of them were gearing up to fight with anger on their faces. There were also some people who were nervously waiting for Xinyang's decision.

  Because they don't know if this young general can resist this pressure that has no chance of winning and fight to the last moment.

   Fortunately, Xinyang did not disappoint any of the soldiers present.

  Although he is not from the Ruan family, like the Ruan family, he can do everything he can to guard the territory of Ningguo and protect the people of Ningguo.

  So, after Xinyang raised his voice and said that sentence, all the soldiers behind him also followed him and repeated that sentence tacitly.

   "Live and die with Changzhou City."

  No more than 2,000 people went out of the city with Xinyang to fight, and the remaining 3,000 people stayed behind to defend the city.

  The exhausted shouts of two thousand people naturally resounded throughout the night sky.

  Li Han, who was standing on the top of the city gate, had mixed feelings in his heart.

  He also heard the words of General Lie Sun.

  There has been a change in the capital... the prince and he...colluded with the enemy country to plot rebellion.

  Now...he should go to the palace...

  Obviously the crown prince...but he is still not satisfied.

   Li Han's heart sank again and again.

  Because of Xinyang's refusal to vote, Lieyang finally took action.

  Swinging his strong arm upwards, the Jie tribe began to attack.

  At this time, the Jie tribe did not attack with the whole army. Because Lie Yang was too conceited, he just brought 4,000 people to fight first.

   Therefore, Xinyang did not call for gold to withdraw its troops.

   Two thousand versus four thousand, he can still hold on.

   After all, most of the people behind him are members of the Ruan Family Army.

  Ruan's army can fight three against one.

   As long as he can hold on and not die under the scorching sun.

  Thinking of this, Xinyang has already made a decision in his mind.

  At this time in Changzhou City, those ordinary people have also been completely awakened by the killing cries that resounded through the night sky outside the city.

   It's just that they thought it was the same this time.

  Until... the people sent by the fourth prince Li Han solemnly told them to evacuate out of the city.

  These people finally panicked.

  If Changzhou City is breached, according to the barbarism of the Jie people, the lives of these people will be threatened.

  So, with the intention of keeping the green hills alive, Li Han made the decision to let the people evacuate from the east gate of Changzhou City.

  If it was a little later...he was worried that the Jie people would lead people to outflank them to the east.

   Just after he gave the order, a person suddenly appeared above the city gate.

   Taifu Xiao.

  Seeing the other party's face, Li Han subconsciously frowned and said, "Teacher Xiao, this is not the place you came from! Hurry up and evacuate with those people!"

   Taifu Xiao shook his head firmly, then strode towards Li Han, and said in a deep voice, "I said, I'm needed here."

  Li Han still frowned: "Teacher Xiao, at this time, don't make trouble!"

   Xu was the first time Li Han treated him in such a tone, Taifu Xiao paused.

   "Teacher Xiao...I..." Li Han also noticed that his tone was not good, and wanted to explain with some remorse.

   Taifu Xiao waved his hands, and smiled at him very gently.

"As the prince and Taifu, he... is trying to rebel, so I should stay here and live and die with the soldiers of Changzhou City. Although I am a literati, but... I should take the lead to let everyone know that our literati in Ningguo are also Backbone."
