Chapter 2828 Men and women are different
"Shoot!"
As the galloping cavalry of the Neng State came into the range of the bows and arrows, Luo Qi gave an order and countless arrows whistled towards the cavalry like raindrops.
Then a shrill scream was heard.
Dozens of cavalrymen rolled off their horses. Some horses were even shot by arrows and fell to their knees with a long cry, dragging the cavalrymen with them to the ground and being trampled to pieces by the people rushing up from behind.
Even so, these people did not back down at all.
Seeing that after the first wave of arrows, the Dan cavalry continued to rush towards the city, Luo Qitong immediately shouted: "Shoot!"
Immediately, the archers pulled arrows from the quivers behind them, strung their bows, and shot at the cavalry below.
After several rounds, many cavalrymen of the Dian State fell to the ground.
But more and more people were getting closer and closer to the city wall. At this moment, a sudden noise came from this side of the city wall.
Luo Qitong shouted, "What's going on?"
"grown ups,"
The people below shouted: "These people, they want to -"
Before he could finish his words, he heard screams. Luo Qitong sensed something was wrong and hurried to the inner city wall to look down. He saw that the people who were originally guarding the city gate suddenly began to attack the gate, and some even tried to pull the bolt.
The soldiers guarding the city were not willing to give in and stepped forward to stop them.
However, they had become accustomed to tolerating the people in recent days, and when they saw them approaching like this, they had not yet thought of drawing their swords.
Unexpectedly, some people in the crowd had already taken out weapons.
These were the monks who had come to persuade them to wait calmly!
They took out long swords and slashed at the soldiers guarding the city below. Immediately, blood splattered!

Si Muyun raised his sword and chopped off the man's head, then picked it up and threw it away.
The followers of the Earthly Immortal Society were still rushing forward frantically outside. Their blood was boiling with excitement, but suddenly they saw something flying out from above the palace gate, and everyone subconsciously looked up.
Immediately, I felt something hot falling on my face.
He reached out and wiped it, and his hands were immediately covered in bright red.
They were shocked, and then, suddenly, a round head fell from the sky and hit a man on the head. The man was so scared that he howled miserably and fell to the ground unconscious.
After all, they are ordinary people.
Even though they were crazy with poverty and wanted to rebel with the Earth Immortal Society, before that, they were just ordinary people busy in the fields. They had probably never seen so much blood in their lives. Suddenly, they saw a human head rolling down and were scared to death.
Several of them were about to retreat with pale faces.
But then, the hall master who was standing behind the crowd and driving them forward shouted, "Don't even think about running away. Everyone who came here today is wanted by the government. Even if you go back, your entire clan will be exterminated!"
When everyone heard this, their hearts sank.
The man continued, "If you don't rush in and kill the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, you will never have the peaceful days you desire, and you will also have to implicate your wives and daughters. Can you bear it?"
"Follow us and charge in!"
"Go in and kill them!"
When they heard the man's cry, the other believers were once again aroused. Since it had come to this point, they would die whether they did it or not, so they might as well give it a try.
I am willing to sacrifice my life to bring down the emperor!
Thinking of this, everyone rushed in even harder.
In an instant, the already shaky gate was shaken again by their collision, and dust and wood chips fell down, and the iron nails on the gate were broken out.
At this time, Tingfu, covered in blood, also crawled up from the ground.
Small men like them had no energy left in attacking and defending. Standing at the door would only block the way for those behind them, so they immediately retreated. Seeing Simuyun standing there, he stepped forward and said, "Sir, retreat quickly!"
As they were talking, several knives were thrown in from outside the gate, narrowly glancing over their heads.
I can’t take it anymore.
No matter how hard the people inside resisted, once the door was cracked, it was only a matter of time before it was broken open.
Seeing this scene, Nan Yan's heart sank, and at this moment, a familiar presence walked behind her, and then, He Yi's steady voice sounded in her ears -
"My Lady, please retreat."
“…!?”
Upon hearing this, Nan Yan frowned and turned to look at him.
Almost glaring at him.
If she is asked to retreat at this time, where can she retreat to?
No matter where you retreat to, as soon as the palace gate opens, you will die!
However, even under her glare, He Yi remained calm, seemingly unconcerned with the chaos before him. He simply said, "A son of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the palace. Even if Your Majesty wants to defend the palace to the death, there's no need to fight this first wave of them head-on."
Nan Yan's heart moved.
He Yi said, "These personal guards, we raise them for a thousand days, aren't they for use right now?"
“…”
"Your Highness, as a concubine, being here at this time will not help to boost morale."
“…”
"In this respect, men and women are different."
“…”
Nan Yan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Indeed, in war, no matter how hard they try, their natural advantages and even the dominance of those who have experienced war will be much more useful than women.
Just like back then, at the border of Yongzhou.
Zhu Feng alone was able to capture the three Doyan guards who were eyeing them covetously. No other woman could do that.
Just when Nan Yan was wavering, He Yi said calmly in an almost cold voice, "Even if these people really broke in, Your Majesty would be the first to fall. Your Majesty, you are the head of all the concubines in the harem and represent the face of the Emperor. Even if an accident really happened, it can't be that kind of accident."
“…”
"Does your Majesty understand what I mean?"
Nan Yan's brows furrowed a little tighter, she understood what He Yi meant.
At this time, there is no point for her to stay.
However, the biggest crisis will definitely be directed at myself. If something happens to me, then the people in the harem——
He Yi said, "My Lady, we should go to a safer place."
Nan Yan turned her head to look at him, took a deep breath, and then said to everyone, "Follow me in!"
Zhu Chengxuan immediately asked, "Your Majesty, where are we going? Back to the harem?"
Compared to the main palace of the front court which was right in front of them, the harem was farther away, with more palace gates in the middle and a more complicated terrain. Even if these rioters rushed in, it would not be easy to find them.
But Nan Yan's face darkened.
"No!"
Everyone subconsciously looked at her, only to see Nan Yan's face solemn: "You must not open the Yuehua Gate!"
