Xiao Yu merely glanced at Eunuch Cao kneeling on the ground, and then spoke to himself.
"Little Jiu, Little Jiu, none of your imperial brothers are easy to deal with."
......
When Xiao Xiuning led everyone in a desperate battle on the city wall.
The capital city was in an uproar!
Grain prices in the city more than tripled in just one hour!
In a short time, a large number of people flocked to rice shops to buy grain.
However, the more people buy, the faster the price of grain rises!
The faster grain prices rise, the more people buy them! This instantly creates a vicious cycle.
Xiao Xiuning was completely unaware of what was happening in the city.
Because at this moment, the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.
At the north gate, the Xiongnu seemed to have gone mad, launching wave after wave of attacks with reckless ferocity.
Thousands of Xiongnu cavalrymen circled the city, and no one knew which gate they would suddenly attack.
Therefore, Shen Congwu had to divide his troops to defend the area, which made the already stretched military strength even more strained.
A flash of light! Covered in blood, Shen Congwu slashed down a Xiongnu soldier who had just charged forward. Before he could even catch his breath, another defensive line in the distance was breached by the Xiongnu.
At this moment, Shen Congwu led an elite imperial guard, which transformed into a firefighting team, constantly rushing and roaming on the city walls, cutting down the Xiongnu who charged up.
Gazing at the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood before her, Xiao Xiuning's eyes began to sharpen.
Xiao Xiuning picked up her longbow, drew it, and fired an arrow! A Xiongnu man who had just climbed the city wall and hadn't even gotten a foothold was instantly shot down.
Shen Congwu, who was fighting fiercely, was taken aback when he saw this, and couldn't help but praise him.
"Your Highness, what excellent archery skills you have!"
Everyone knows that Xiao Xiuning is a talented woman in the capital with unparalleled literary skills, but few know that she is also unmatched among her peers in the Six Arts of a Gentleman!
He excelled in all of the following: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics.
Xiao Xiuning roared as she held her longbow.
"May the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers endure forever! May the Great Li land endure forever!"
With a roar from Xiao Xiuning, the fighting spirit on the North Gate instantly erupted!
"Follow closely in Her Highness's footsteps! Slaughter all these Hun dogs!"
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Outside the capital, Yelü Junba frowned deeply, and Pei Shaozhu, seeing this, spoke up.
"Let's call it a day. Continuing to fight today will only be futile."
