As Nan Yan guessed, since the Yue people launched a raid, they have been going on for two full hours, and the soldiers guarding the city north of Yongzhou City have reached their limit.

However, below the city tower, there were still a steady stream of Vietnamese soldiers rushing upwards.

The general Han Liguang, who led the soldiers to defend behind closed doors, was wounded by two arrows. He only used his sword to cut off the arrow body. The arrow was still in his body, and the blood could barely stop, but he did not have time to bandage and rest. He still stood on the city tower and led the soldiers to hold on.

Not only him, most of the other soldiers were injured, and the rest was exhausted and the energy was over.

However, the Yue people under the city tower continued to shoot arrows like dense rain, with endless sounds of whizzing, and even the walls were shot by hard arrows, making the people on the city tower unable to stand up straight.

At the same time, under the city gate, under the huge siege hammer, the iron-covered city gate was splashed with wood chips, and the inside was completely hollow, leaving only a few iron frames barely supporting them. However, at this time, the iron frame was already pulled to the limit. If you only have another blow, you may not be able to hold on.

Han Liguang was anxious and grabbed the people around him and shouted: "Where are reinforcements? Are there any reinforcements coming?!"

The soldiers next to them dodged the arrows shot from the city tower and said in despair: "Not yet."

“None of them?”

"Sir, there is not one..."

At this moment, Han Liguang's face was covered in blood and was washed away by sweat, and he seemed embarrassed and tired. He supported him until now because he believed that reinforcements would definitely come. In fact, reinforcements should have arrived long ago, but unexpectedly, they supported much more time than usual, but they could not even see the shadow of reinforcements.

Could it be that the emperor doesn't care about them?

No, this is absolutely impossible?

Even if the emperor is not in the city at this moment, the imperial concubine is still in the city. Besides, there are so many ordinary people in the city who throw away the Yongzhou city and let the people of Yue come to the city to burn, kill and loot. What is the benefit for the emperor?

But why haven’t reinforcements come yet?

Such contradictory thoughts kept burying in his heart. Han Liguang was already exhausted and was almost unsteady in his standing while holding the wall. The soldiers next to him supported each other and kept asking: "Sir, what should we do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy siege hammer downstairs sent out the last shot.

There was only a loud "boom".

Like a shocking thunder hitting everyone's heart, the entire city tower shook for a moment, and then, the huge city gate was like a tired old man, finally overwhelmed. After a long whine, it slowly fell to the ground.

Smoke and dust are everywhere.

As the smoke and dust rose and the sound of killing were approaching, the soldiers in the city were already exhausted. At this time, as the Yue people waved their swords and roared in from behind the smoke and dust, they all fell into despair.

It's over...

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded behind them.

Reinforcements?!

At this moment, these two words appeared in everyone's hearts, but they were worried that they would die in an instant, and hallucinations flashed through their minds, so they opened their eyes wide in disbelief and looked behind them.

In the dark night, a group of people rushed out of the night and rushed towards the Yue people who were rushing into the city in front.

"It's a reinforcement, it's really a reinforcement!"

Someone shouted in the crowd.

With the flames that were about to be extinguished on the city tower, they saw clearly that it was Taining Guards led by Temule who were riding a horse and riding a horse. The Yue soldiers who rushed in from outside the city obviously did not expect that there was such a new force waiting for them in the city. They rushed into the city with great momentum. Before they even had time to gain a foothold, the strong horse rushed to their eyes like an arrow, and instantly knocked out several Yue soldiers standing in the middle of the gate.

Screams rang through the sky!

"It's Tainingwei!"

The soldiers on the city tower almost jumped up when they saw Temule at first sight. Han Liguang was relieved when he saw this. Then he grabbed the sword in his hand and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "All the generals obey the orders, follow me immediately and kill these traitors of Yue back. They must not let them hurt the people in Yongzhou City."

The soldiers fought all night and were not willing to fail. Unexpectedly, Taining Guard came so timely. He also had some strength while being ecstatic. So everyone was excited and shouted and rushed into the battle again.

At the same time, the tall figure had already walked to Nan Yan. A gust of wind suddenly blew from somewhere, causing the lanterns under the corridor to shake. The red light of the darkness shone on the face. Nan Yan saw the familiar, wolf-like eyes at a glance.

Her throat suddenly moved.

"Li...isn't you hurt?"

Li Bushu had already walked up to her and bowed to salute: "Empress."

Nan Yan stood up with the armrest of the chair and looked at Li Bushu: "Why are you here?"

While speaking, she immediately looked up at him - she knew that Li Bushang, as the commander of the Jinyiwei, had been following Zhu Feng today. He suddenly appeared here, where was Zhu Fengren?

Li Bushuo looked up and saw Nan Yan's gaze, his eyes darkened unconsciously.

But he immediately said calmly: "Your Majesty asks me to come back and protect the Empress."

Nanyan frowned: "You?"

Not only her, but even Aunt Tongyun and Ruoshui on the side couldn't help but feel confused. Ruoshui was careful, but also said boldly: "Sir Li, are you the only ones coming back?"

No matter how proud the emperor was, he would not have sent only one Jinyiwei commander to the imperial concubine to protect her in such a dangerous situation.

Li Bushang looked at her coldly.

The wolf-like eyes were usually light, and they didn't feel anything when they had a lot of contact with each other, but at this moment, the chill that oozed out of his eyes and a little inexplicable murderous intent made Ruoshui shudder immediately.

She subconsciously took a step back.

Li Bushang had already said: "Your Majesty has passed the edict of Wei, and asked Wei to transfer Taining Guards and Fuyu Guards to the north of the city to help. The empress can rest assured that there will be no major events in the city."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the person who was squatting on the knees on the ground, and said, "You can all go down."

Everyone was relieved when they heard what he said to the concubine. In addition, they almost offended the concubine just now, so they were eager to retreat quickly so that the concubine would not settle the score with them again, so they immediately stood up and left the yard one after another.

Nanyan frowned.
