Chapter 2741 Lost
The battle ahead was raging.
The emperor went up to a three-story building and observed the battle ahead in the darkness. He quickly spotted their breach and pointed to a spot, saying, "Yin Li, take a team of men and go over the rooftops and clear that area. Then we can open their breach."
Yin Li took a look and then bowed in agreement, turning around to choose someone.
Yin Li brought the imperial guards with him and selected the best ones to follow him. Climbing over the wall was not difficult for them, but the difficult part was how to climb over the roofs of several houses and get the person out without being noticed by the other side.
After all, if you are discovered, arrows can kill you.
After Yin Li selected his men, he quietly crept under the wall and jumped onto the roof in a few steps. The imperial guards behind him followed one after another. Everyone lowered their bodies and squatted on the roof, sneaking forward quietly.
The fighting was in full swing down there, and the noise was so loud that no one noticed the movement on the roof.
Yin Li tried to move as quietly as possible. When he reached the spot chosen by the emperor, he looked down and saw an arrow piercing the air. Without a second thought, he pulled himself together and leaped down...
Yin Li came down with the sword in his hand and slashed the neck of the Goguryeo soldier who had no time to react and turned to look at him. Imperial guards kept jumping down behind him. At the same time, someone was shouting from somewhere high up in the opposite building.
When the emperor saw that Yin Li and the others had been discovered, he narrowed his eyes slightly and ordered, "Send the archers up and bring me my bow."
Gu Zhong immediately bent down and left. Soon, a team of archers came up. The emperor also took his bow and arrow, drew his bow and aimed at a building across the street. The arrow flew out. There was a scream from the opposite side. The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said to the archers, "Hold them down and support Lord Yin."
"yes."
The emperor then took one last look over there and turned to go downstairs.
The emperor mounted his horse with his bow and arrow, rushed directly to the front line, and killed the enemy together with his soldiers.
When the second prince Gao came to boost morale, the other side's morale was boosted. The emperor curled his lips, threw the bow and arrow to Gu Zhong, took his own sword and stepped forward, shouting to the other side, "I am also here, Gao Zhi, do you dare to fight me?"
Duke Zhao and Qibi Heli, who were at the forefront, had no time to turn around and stop them. They could only shout at the other side: "Your Majesty, Gao Zhi, you little bastard, I am Zhao Ji of the Great Jin, do you dare to fight me?"
Qibi Heli: "And me!"
Prince Gao Er didn't expect to meet the Emperor of Dajin here, and he felt a little weak for a moment. He didn't expect so many people to ask him to fight one-on-one, which made him feel even more guilty.
Nuosa rode his horse forward and said, "I would like to ask for some advice from General Zhao." This helped Prince Gao escape from the siege.
The soldiers on both sides ceased fighting and retreated behind their respective commanders.
Duke Zhao tilted the knife in his hand slightly and said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll learn from you."
Qibi Heli took a step back in disappointment and stood in front of the emperor.
The emperor pushed his shoulder and said, "No need to block it." He stopped him from watching the fight.
Qibi Heli refused to give way and said without turning his head, "Your Majesty, safety is the most important thing."
Nuosa had already dismounted, spear in hand, and stepped forward to confront the Duke of Zhao. Their eyes met, and both of them glared fiercely. One of them drew his spear, the other drew his sword, and charged at the other...
Bai Shan stood in front of the cell, opened his eyes, and asked softly, "Did you hear that?"
Daji nodded, "I heard it, it was the sound of shouting and killing."
The stone weighing on Bai Shanxin's heart was finally put down, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, showing great pleasure.
The jailer was also awakened. He hadn't been able to sleep much tonight and was furious. Seeing Bai Shan standing at the door of the cell, he didn't care that he was his financial backer. He knocked on the door with a stick and shouted, "Are you going to sleep tonight? If anyone makes a noise again, I'll drag him out of the cell and hang him."
Bai Shan smiled slightly and said, "It's almost dawn. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
"What did you say?" the jailer said angrily, "If it weren't for you guys torturing me, would I have been unable to sleep all night? It's still an hour before dawn, so lie still."
Bai Shan thought about it and felt that it was getting late. If everything went well, he might be able to meet Prince Gao Er before dawn.
So he looked at Daji.
Daji took out two pearls from his purse and gave them to the jailer, saying, "Our young master doesn't want to sleep anymore. Prepare some food for him. We also need clean water and a towel to wash."
Jail boss: ...
He wanted to forcefully knock the pearl out of his hand, but in the end he reached out to take it, grunting unhappily, "Wait."
The prison boss only brought them what they ordered, nothing extra.
Daji had no choice but to exchange another pearl for a comb and a pot of boiling water.
Bai Shan washed his face and put on his clothes. Daji combed his hair. After they finished all this, the two of them ate slowly.
At this time, the Duke of Zhao and Nousa had also decided the winner. The Duke of Zhao's knife pierced through Nousa's ribs and seriously injured Nousa. Prince Gao Er had to ask someone to bring Nousa back.
The morale of the Jin army was high, and the soldiers raised their swords and spears and shouted loudly. Duke Zhao, regardless of his wounds, pointed the tip of his sword forward and shouted, "Capture Anshi City and present it to His Majesty. My men, the time has come for you to make great achievements."
Everyone shouted "Kill" and followed Duke Zhao to charge forward.
Yin Li led his soldiers to fight with the Goguryeo soldiers in the alley, killing all the defenders directly. Then he led his men out of the alley and turned to kill from the inside of the street. The retreating Prince Gao Er was instantly in panic, almost thinking that his retreat had been blocked, but when he looked closely, he found that there were only dozens of Jin soldiers, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to order the killing, Qibi Heli had already brought his men to support him. Brave and fearless, he stepped on the wall and flew into the enemy army. The Hu soldiers also fought bravely and joined forces with Yin Li. The gap was torn open and could never be closed again.
Prince Gao Er was escorted back to the council chamber in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Seeing that Nusa had lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss, he could only quickly send someone to call a doctor.
Master Meng had already arranged to see someone outside. When he returned, he knelt down and said, "Prince, please have mercy on Anshi City."
An official lay on the ground and cried bitterly, "Prince, we can no longer fight in Anshi City. It will soon become a ruin."
Warfare isn't just about slashing with swords; there are arrows, and sometimes, for certain purposes, both armies will use rockets. And since it's night, torches are also needed for illumination...
Once the houses in the city caught fire, they would spread one after another. Even though the two armies had been restrained, many houses were burned down during this period.
Master Meng took the opportunity to ask, "Prince, isn't the Jin envoy still in our custody? Perhaps he can put in a good word or two for us?"
Prince Gao Er thought of Bai Shan, and immediately stood up, took his sword from the shelf, drew it out, and strode towards the dungeon.
When Master Meng saw this, his face changed drastically. He didn't expect that he had achieved the opposite effect. He quickly got up and followed, fearing that Prince Gao would really chop Bai Shan.
See you at 9pm
