Chapter 147 The hearts of the people are lost and the city gate is damaged

She saw that there was a big hole in the city gate, and the big hole was actually filled with the corpses of the soldiers who were guarding the city!

What's even more shocking is that these corpses are not even complete corpses. Some have no heads, some have no arms and legs, and are bloody and stuffed on the city gate. Countless terrifying and ferocious faces appear before your eyes, like the reappearance of hell.

This scene shocked Shang Ruyi to pieces.

Tusheer on the side couldn't bear to look any further, so she hurriedly closed her eyes and turned her head to the side.

"Young Madam?"

Just when she was shocked, Mu Xian was walking by with his people, all with some injuries on their bodies. When he saw Shang Ruyi, the expression on his face seemed a little complicated, but he immediately came forward to salute:

"Why are you here, Madam?"

"Let me, come and take a look."

Shang Ruyi knew the reason for the hesitation in his eyes, but she didn't dare to ask more. At this time, she didn't have the extra time to explain.

After all, the place where the two people stood was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The living people around dragged the corpses down one by one. The smell of blood soaked almost every inch of the land and city walls. Not far away, the wailing of the wounded and the cries of the people became even louder.

Shang Ruyi looked at the big hole in the city gate and said, "This is -"

Mu Xian also looked back, with a sad look in his eyes, and said: "Last night, the Turks knocked a big hole out of the city gate. Seeing that they were about to attack, a group of soldiers defending the city - they rushed forward

, blocked the hole with his own body, and avoided the tragedy of the city being destroyed..."

When he said the last few words, for such a strong-willed man, his voice was choked with sobs.

Shang Ruyi's eyes turned red.

After Mu Xian said those words, he looked at the young lady in front of him again and found that she was neatly dressed, but like Tusheer, she had a lot of blood on her hands, and Tusheer also had a

Two bottles of medicine and a roll of bandages.

Mu Xian asked: "Young Madam's injury——"

Shang Ruyi said: "It's no longer a problem."

Before Mu Xian could say anything, someone behind him said coldly: "Young Madam, with His Majesty's blessing, you can rest easy."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi's face suddenly heated up.

But Tusheer couldn't listen, and immediately stepped forward and said coldly: "What do you mean by this? Our young lady was injured because she went into battle to confront those Turkic soldiers. What does it have to do with the emperor!"

The man was also dissatisfied and said coldly: "Whether it does not matter, you will know whose daughter-in-law goes to cuddle with other men!"

"you--"

Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "She'er, stop talking."

Mu Xian also turned around and shouted: "Shut up!"

Shang Ruyi looked up at the group of young men again. All of them were covered in colorful clothes, and even their clothes were stained red by someone's blood. The angry look on their faces looked particularly unfair - they were all following Yuwen Ye.

The soldiers around him naturally defended him, not to mention that this time, he was indeed at fault.

She thought for a while and said seriously: "I will give an explanation to the Yuwen family and my husband about this matter."

"..."

"but not now."

Mu Xian frowned: "Young Madam?"

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "Everything has to wait until we can survive this disaster. Therefore, in addition to helping the wounded soldiers, I also want to see the battle situation here. Mr. Mu,

How long can this Yanmen City be defended?"

Mu Xian didn't expect that she would ask this directly.

But, how to answer this question?

Just when Mu Xian hesitated and didn't know how to respond, a group of people came up next to him. They were ready to clean up the corpses of soldiers piled up on the city wall and repair the city wall at the same time.

Seeing the corpses being dug out one by one, placed on the dilapidated door panels and dragged away one by one, the people around could not bear to watch. Several ordinary people came forward with white cloths to cover the damaged corpses.

Seeing the wooden planks being dragged past them, Shang Ruyi immediately stepped aside and heard several soldiers cleaning the battlefield passing by her and talking in a low voice——

"Hit, beat, beat, when will the beating end?"

"That's it, what's the use of our desperate resistance to the Turks here? Even if we win here, there will still be another one in Liaodong."

"Yes, the court doesn't care about our life or death at all, so why are we still working so hard?!"

Some soldiers who were supervising them heard this and said loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, move the bodies down quickly, and let them repair the city gate. If the city gate is broken, the Turks will definitely not give up.

They will attack again at any time, so hurry up!"

But the people around were a little discouraged: "If you come here, come here. Can we still defend such a city gate?"

Hearing these words, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly sank.

Mu Xian and the others obviously heard these words. He looked at Shang Ruyi with a solemn expression and said, "Do you still want to ask the question just now, Madam?"

Shang Ruyi only felt that his breathing was a little short.

She thought for a while and said, "Really, can't it?"

Mu first looked at the corpses that had been dragged away, and then at the large hole that was gradually revealed on the city gate, with a look of dejection in his eyes, and said softly:

"The city gate is not so much a fortress of defense as it is a fortress in the hearts of the soldiers guarding the city. Once the city gate is broken, the barriers in many people's hearts have already been broken down."

"..."

"What's more, this is indeed a hole. Even if it is repaired, it will still be the weakest point in Yanmen City."

"..."

"The hearts of the people have been lost and the city gate is damaged. Madam, do you think we can still defend the next attack?"

Shang Ruyi's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cave.

However, she was unwilling to do so.

She was not willing to die here, let alone that she had spent her life in exchange for a support, but in such a helpless environment, as the most insignificant bubble in the historical wave, she was annihilated in this small Yanmen.

city.

She is not willing to give in!

She gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "I don't believe there is no chance at all!"

Mu looked at her for a while, then thought about it and said, "Not really, not at all."

"What is it?"

"The weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people."

"..."

"Sometimes, a complete city gate and a mighty army are not as good as having a breath of life in a person's heart."

"..."

"As long as there is hope for everyone, who doesn't want to live?"

"..."

"It just depends on whether this hope can fall on everyone's heads."

A sudden flash of inspiration flashed in Shang Ruyi's heart, as if he understood something: "What do you mean-"

Mu Xian looked at Shang Ruyi again, with a bit of conflict in his eyes, but he still whispered: "I dare not ask more about the young lady's affairs. However, since the young lady can be by your majesty's side, the young lady can

Go up to Datian and listen, I’m afraid someone like the young madam needs to say some of those things.”

"..."

Shang Ruyi's breathing sank slightly.

At this moment, the words Empress Jiang said in front of her yesterday rang in her ears again.

The key is who can make His Majesty listen to his words.

Just when her thoughts were confused, suddenly, a loud shout came from the long street behind her——

"The Emperor has arrived!"
