Bai Chen and Ye Shihan also discussed a careful plan. The group decided to start attacking the city tomorrow. Presumably the capital has already prepared defenses. It will not be an easy task for them to attack the city.
It's late at night. Originally, this short night would be enough to wait until dawn after sleeping, but tomorrow we will face a life and death battle, so this night has been particularly long.
Ye Shihan, Bai Chen, Shi Ziqiang, Liu Hai, Su Muer, Doudou, Xiao Yuanyuan, Shadow, Xiaojuan, these people stood outside, looking up at the stars in the dark night sky, as if they could see themselves in them
Like family members.
Ye Shihan was the first to speak. He murmured to the sky:
"If my mother-in-law were still here, would she support me doing this?"
He was very conflicted at this time. Although the emperor was stupid and everyone wanted to punish him, he was his half-brother and his aunt's cousin after all. No matter where he was, he should not
He stood up to oppose him, but the current situation forced him to do so!
Su Muer naturally knew how he was feeling at this time, so she slowly said:
"Even if your mother-in-law is still here, she will let you kill the emperor. She will not watch him murder the people and hand over the Eastern Jin Dynasty to others."
"Yes! Although the mother-in-law did some things wrong, she is a sensible person. I believe that her spirit in heaven will support us in doing this."
Bai Chen suddenly sneered,
"Shihan, I know you can't bear it in your heart. After all, the emperor was not kind to you back then, but he was not as stupid as he is now! The emperor is so stupid now that everyone will punish him. I believe that even if the Queen Mother is alive, she will
Supporting us to rebel against him, he has now been deceived by the people of the Western Regions. Such an emperor will sooner or later ruin the Eastern Jin Dynasty. What we do can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people."
When he said this, Bai Chen clenched his fists, as if he could only relieve his hatred by killing the emperor with his own hands.
Shi Ziqiang sighed sadly, his eyes filled with indignation.
"I don't even know whether my father is alive or dead now, and my mother is trapped in that city. All this is because the emperor trusts the people in the Western Region too much. Therefore, even if we don't rebel, sooner or later someone will rebel.
, when the Eastern Jin Dynasty no longer has the surname Ye, now that we have rebelled, at least we can keep the Ye family's empire."
After Shi Ziqiang finished speaking, Shadow continued: "I hope the prince will not be as fatuous as the current emperor after he ascends the throne."
Su Mu'er listened to everyone's discussion and had a lot to say in her heart, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Everyone, please rest separately. Tomorrow we will not face the emperor of the Eastern Jin Kingdom, but the Great Khan of the Western Regions and those arrogant Western Regions people."
Ye Shihan nodded in agreement, "Yes, have a good sleep today and fight a tough battle tomorrow, maybe it will be a protracted battle."
Although everyone had their own concerns, they finally returned to their tents to rest.
This night seemed to have passed peacefully, but in fact everyone's hearts were in turmoil.
Everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's battle, but also worried.
The next morning, as the sun was just beginning to shine, Su Muer got up and prepared to go for a walk in the army.
When she opened the door of the camp, she saw Ye Shihan standing not far away, standing with his hands behind his back and looking directly in the direction of the city gate.
Su Muer came to him and whispered:
"Why did you get up so early?"
Hearing her voice, Ye Shihan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her sideways,
"I can't sleep, why did you get up so early?"
"I can't sleep either."
"Are you afraid?"
Su Muer looked forward and nodded slightly, "I'm afraid."
He looked at her in surprise,
"Why?"
She breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly:
"If I were a person, I wouldn't be afraid of anything but death. Even if I die, if my life is good, I can still travel back to the era I lived in. But there are so many of us, and Doudou and you
, I don’t want any of us to get hurt, so I’m very scared about this unknown battle.”
Hearing what she said, he raised his arms, held her shoulders in his arms, still looking ahead, and whispered:
"I have already thought that we will be together in life and death. If you want to travel back to the era when you lived, you must remember to take me with you. I am afraid of being alone and living without you."
She raised her eyes and looked at him, tears falling unexpectedly.
"Shihan, nothing will happen to us, we will be fine."
Ye Shihan looked at her and smiled softly, "Yes, we will be fine. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. You must take care of yourself for me. I don't want you to be hurt at all."
She nodded heavily, rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly:
"Nothing will happen to us. God will bless us."
Although she pretends to be strong on the outside, she is actually very scared inside. She is really afraid of losing the people around her in this war. Everyone of them longs for peace, and everyone longs for a normal life. If not
When faced with the pressure of life, who is willing to rise up?
It was already broad daylight, and Ye Shihan ordered the army cook to make a sumptuous breakfast. First, the soldiers should be full before they could have the strength to go to the battlefield.
This battle is bound to be a vicious one.
Just when everyone put on their uniforms and prepared to attack the city, someone suddenly came to report.
"Report..."
Hearing this voice, everyone present became nervous, especially Ye Shihan.
"explain."
"Report to the general, there are soldiers from the Western Regions ten miles behind and are coming this way."
What?
Upon hearing the news, Ye Shihan frowned. Everyone present looked at Ye Shihan, waiting for him to speak.
"Approximately how many people are there on the other side?"
"Visually there are probably tens of thousands of people, but there is a second group and a third group of people behind these people."
This sentence undoubtedly made everyone present take a breath.
Before the battle could begin at the front, the enemy troops from the rear had already surrounded us. This was truly a vicious battle with no consequences.
Ye Shihan frowned and pondered for a while, then said:
"Bai Chen, you lead the people from Qingcheng State and bring two artillery pieces to surround the people from the Western Regions who are coming from behind and catch them off guard. Xiao Yuanyuan, Biaozi, Shi Ziqiang, and General Wu will lead the people from Guning State.
Protect the prince here and listen to my orders at any time. I will lead all the soldiers in Linhai City to attack the city."
Bai Chen clasped his fists with serious eyes and said:
"clear."
Shi Ziqiang stepped forward unwillingly and said:
"Shihan, I want to accompany you to attack the city."
"No, you are not good at martial arts. Just stay here with General Wu from Guning Kingdom to protect the crown prince and the women. If necessary, I will call you there at any time."
Shi Ziqiang wanted to say something more, but Su Muer shook her head directly at him, signaling her not to be brave anymore, and Shi Ziqiang retreated.
Ye Shihan came to Doudou, straightened his collar, and looked at him solemnly,
"Su Liyang, you are a child of the Ye family. Now the emperor of the Ye family is ignorant and ignorant, and the imperial city is occupied by people from the Western Regions. You should be the first to bear the brunt and take them all down with your father. Are you ready?"
Doudou looked at his father, stood up straight, and nodded seriously,
"You are ready, father, please rest assured, I will not let you and mother down."
Seeing Doudou put on his shirt and looking so heroic, Su Muer felt very happy in her heart. This was the son she had trained with her own hands, and he was also her biggest concern in the world. At this time, she was more worried than anyone else.
His safety is in danger, but he is a man. Although he is still young, he should shoulder the burden on his shoulders, so she will not show her worry. On the contrary, her eyes are full of affirmation for him.
Ye Shihan patted Doudou on the shoulder, "Good son, today we, father and son, go to the battlefield together to eradicate these insects who have sneaked into the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and together we will pull down this mediocre emperor of the Ye family from the throne. If we win in the future,
Father celebrates your success. If you fail, father will accompany you..."
The meaning behind his words was very clear. If he died in battle, his father would accompany him.
This sentence shocked the hearts of everyone present, but in the current situation, no one blamed him for saying such unlucky words, because no one knew that after this battle, they would be alive.
It's death.
At this moment, Prince Ye Yuncheng suddenly appeared in front of everyone wearing a military uniform. His face was extremely solemn. After the bumps along the way, the childish look on his face had faded away, and his face was full of solemnity.
.
He came to Ye Shihan and looked at him firmly,
"Uncle Emperor, I want to go too."
Ye Shihan looked at him and shook his head, "No, you don't have the skills, and it's dangerous to go to the battlefield. You wait here. Once we win the siege, we will send you a signal. It won't be too late for you to enter the city again."
"No."
Ye Yuncheng directly rejected his proposal, "The person sitting on the throne now is my father. He is stupid and ignorant. I will face it personally. If you succeed in attacking the city, I will follow you into the city. If you fail,
, I, Ye Yuncheng, can no longer resist, I would rather live and die with you happily."
Hearing what he said, everyone including Shi Ziqiang, Xiaojuan and Xiao Yuanyuan stood up together.
Everyone stood facing Ye Shihan and Su Muer, their expressions extremely solemn.
"The prince is right. If you fail to attack the city, we are waiting to die here. Why don't we go with you? If you can kill an enemy, it counts. If you can't kill us, we won't cause you any trouble. We will live and die with you."
, there is no reason to hide here.”
"Yes, we are with you."
"Yes, we all live and die together."
"Life and death together."
"..."
Seeing everyone's indignation, Su Muer glanced at Ye Shihan, and Ye Shihan also glanced at her, then nodded and said:
"Okay, since everyone is determined, let's go on the road together. Bai Chen, I'll give you another 10,000 people in the rear. You must hold the defense line in the rear. After we successfully attack the city, we will go to help you. On the contrary
, if your side succeeds in containment, you should also come to our side in time to help."
Bai Chen nodded heavily, "I understand."
Ye Shihan raised the sword in his hand with a solemn expression, gritted his teeth and shouted angrily:
"Brothers, for the sake of the people of the Eastern Jin Kingdom and for our peaceful life, rush."
"Go! Go! Go!"
After everyone shouted in unison, the people in the front got on the horseback, and the women in the back stepped on the carriage. Some of the rest were pushing cannons, some were carrying shields on their shoulders, and some were holding bows and arrows. Everyone was full of anger and prepared to attack.
