King Nan frowned, and the other generals were also a little hesitant.

After all, although Zhou Liang is the brother of the King of Nan’s beloved concubine, his abilities are quite average.

Jiang Shu and Lu Yi were both dead, so how could he still be alive and lead more than 10,000 people to break through? This was a bit strange no matter how you looked at it.

But some people have another view. That is, Zhou Liang was afraid of death and realized that the situation was not right. It is very likely that he took his people and ran away.

King Nan was also a little hesitant.

They hesitated on the tower, while Zhou Liang was trembling with fear at the foot of the tower.

Ye Cheng suddenly said, "The people Hua Changjue brought are all from the north, and our people are all from the south! Their accents are different!" After he finished speaking, he looked down and saw everyone else except Zhou Liang.

The King of the South immediately understood and said to Zhou Liang below.

"Who are the ones you brought back? Ask them to tell you their names."

More than 10,000 people looked at each other, but no one said anything.

The Southern King narrowed his eyes instantly. The other generals also drew their swords, ready to fight at any time.

Suddenly, someone shouted from below.

"I'm Zhang San!"

One person spoke. Then the others started to speak.

"I'm Li Si!"

"I am Wang Ergou!"

"I am Pan Sanxi!"

"I am……"

…

The King of the South and several generals carefully distinguished them.

Ye Cheng was obviously relieved, "They all have southern accents! There shouldn't be any problem!"

King Nan's expression also relaxed a little.

Just then, there was a flicker of fire in the distance. Soon, it became a large area of ​​fire. It seemed that there were a lot of people.

Everyone had a gloomy look on their faces.

"The army of the Great Sheng Dynasty is coming!"

King Nan narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Prepare for a fight!"

"Yes," a general quickly retreated to arrange the deployment.

At this time, Zhou Liang continued to knock on the city gate, obviously very anxious. The other soldiers with him also rushed forward to knock on the city gate.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please open the city gate! Save us! We don't want to die!"

"My Lord, help me!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

"I don't want to die, let me in!"

There was a sound of wailing outside the city gate.

The soldiers and generals on the tower were all very anxious. They were afraid that among the more than 10,000 people, there might be someone they knew.

After the verification just now, the generals can already be sure that the people below must be their soldiers.

Some generals couldn't help it and began to plead for mercy.

"Your Highness, let them enter the city first. Otherwise, when the people from the Great Sheng Dynasty come to us, these ten thousand people will not be enough to fill their teeth."

"Yes! Even though these more than 10,000 people lost the battle, they can still be useful in doing other things later on."

"Yes, Your Majesty! More than ten thousand people can be of great use at the critical moment!" Ye Cheng couldn't help but persuade.

King Nan frowned even more tightly.

He still felt that something was fishy, ​​but he couldn't tell what it was.

Just as he was hesitating, someone leaked the news and Zhou Meir, wearing a peach pink dress, also ran up to the city wall.

Everyone knew that she was the Nan Wang's beloved concubine, and no one dared to stop her.

Zhou Mei'er, with tears in her eyes, threw herself directly into the arms of King Nan.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please save my brother. I only have this one brother."

Wu Ling also followed, feeling very guilty.

He bowed. "The princess heard the servants talking about what happened here, and despite the obstruction of the subordinates, she insisted on coming here..."

King Nan had a terrible headache.

Let Wu Ling pull Zhou Meir away.

"Remember what I said!" he said to Wu Ling! "Protect them! Go quickly!"

Wu Ling nodded, and this time without hesitation, he directly carried Zhou Meir and quickly went down the city wall.

The Southern King saw it all, but he didn't say anything. After Zhou Mei'er left, he leaned against the city wall and said calmly.

"Open the city gates and let them in. Then prepare for battle."

"Bring me my spear!"

Zhou Liang had been looking up, and he had seen his sister just now. He had also heard her crying. His eyes suddenly turned red.

I thought of my younger sister who had been dependent on me since childhood, and my nephew Nan Sichao who just turned two years old.

If the city gates were opened, the generals of the Great Sheng Dynasty would definitely not let their sister and nephew go. After all, their sister was the woman of the Southern King, and their nephew was his flesh and blood.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes red. He couldn't watch his sister and nephew die. He couldn't...

At the moment the city gate opened, he made up his mind and suddenly shouted loudly to the top of the city wall.

"Don't open the city gates, don't..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, a dagger was stabbed into his back. Zhou Liang's eyes widened, still looking at the tower.

“Don’t open…”

He gradually lost his breath and fell backwards.

His roar was still heard by King Nan and the others.

King Nan’s eyes widened instantly and he quickly gave the order.

"Don't open the gate!"

The eyes of the more than 10,000 people downstairs also changed, becoming firm and resolute.

They looked at the city gate that had opened a crack. Someone shouted, "The city gate has opened a crack! Let's charge!"

Everyone rushed forward and pushed hard.

King Nan lay on the tower and shouted, "Shoot arrows at me, shoot quickly! They are soldiers from the Great Sheng Dynasty!"

"Don't let any of them in."

In a flash, a rain of arrows fell from the city wall.

Under the city wall.

Some soldiers put their shields on their heads and formed an iron wall to shield the people who were guarding the city gate. But many people were still shot and fell.
