Chapter 290 I'll Consider What You Said About Surrendering
Once they were on the city wall, their view suddenly became wide and they could see the situation outside the city clearly.
In order to prevent the remaining dozens of people from being forced into a state of being unable to resist, Chu Xi fought against Qi Minsong while using all his strength to fight his way out.
With the gap, they can expand the battlefield from the city gate to the periphery, instead of being trapped in this small area.
The secret guards sent by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had already been dispersed during the fight.
Some stayed in the city, some... died in the battle, and there were only three people left outside except Chu Er.
The three of them slowly gathered together and protected Chu Xi.
As secret guards, they never forgot their mission from beginning to end.
Before they fall, they must not let their master suffer any harm.
Jiang Zhenyao, standing on the wall, tightly gripped the spear shaft, her eyes becoming increasingly red, as she watched helplessly as dozens of Chu Xi's men were surrounded by Xi Chu's troops.
Get deeper and deeper.
The dead end was already decided, but they could only watch from the top of the wall and could do nothing.
Han Yaojun also clenched his fists and punched the wall hard.
As the commander-in-chief, he had no choice but to abandon his subordinates and soldiers outside and hide himself in the city.
How could he not feel uncomfortable with such a choice?
But as the commander, he had to do it.
Others can show their uncomfortable emotions, but he can't.
Because this decision is difficult to make. If he does not come forward to stabilize the situation, the situation will only become more chaotic.
Tang Juncheng sighed. After several days of fighting day and night, he was already exhausted.
Life and death are at stake, and no one can stay out of it.
Just now outside, Chu Jiang saved him, otherwise he would have lost an arm.
Qi Minsong, the man carefully trained by the eldest son of the Qi family, his marksmanship is indeed not to be underestimated.
"I am old after all. I am not even as good as a 16 or 17-year-old child."
In his eyes, isn't Chu Jiang just a child?
He hasn't even reached adulthood, but he's already been surrounded.
The fighting scene of tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city was clearly reflected in his deep, dark eyes.
But in fact, this situation is not a war between the two sides, but a one-sided stranglehold.
How can a few dozen people resist in front of tens of thousands of people?
In less than an incense stick of time, fifty or sixty people had died, and only less than ten people were still struggling to hold on.
Jiang Zhenyao took a deep breath, she could hardly bear to watch it any longer.
"Don't go down." Yun Jiyu quickly grabbed the arm of Jiang Zhenyao, who had already stepped onto the wall and was about to jump down.
"He's still down there!" Jiang Zhenyao shook off Yun Jiyu's hand, her whole body shaking with excitement.
"What will happen if you go? One person can't hold out for so long!" Han Yaojun closed his eyes, sighing as he couldn't bear to watch any longer.
It's just one more person going to die.
"That's better than standing here and watching him die!" Jiang Zhenyao knew that Han Yaojun was not to blame for all this, but she couldn't stay calm and stand by and watch.
Yun Jiyu stopped Jiang Zhenyao again.
Jiang Zhenyao suppressed her temper because Yun Jiyou was Chu Qibai's cousin, but her cold expression seemed to be saying -
What exactly do you want?
Yun Jiyou advised with red eyes, "You can't do this, Miss Jiang. I understand your feelings right now, but Qibai is already surrounded by enemies. If you go over there, you will put yourself in danger."
"So what do you want?" Jiang Zhenyao's tears had already rolled down her cheeks without her noticing.
Her eyes were bloodshot and tears were streaming down her face. "I can't bear to see Chu Qibai being stabbed to death or being surrounded by everyone, no matter what you do."
"Even if I die, I will try my best to save him."
The others have almost all died, and there are only a few people left in the city.
She can't control others, but she can't ignore Chu Qibai.
If it weren't for him these past two days, I would have died several times.
Tang Juncheng took the opportunity to walk behind Jiang Zhenyao, raised his hand, and while Jiang Zhenyao was too excited to react, he hit the back of Jiang Zhenyao's neck with his hand, knocking her unconscious.
Seeing this, Yun Jiyou hurriedly caught the person.
"Keep an eye on the person." Tang Juncheng instructed.
After giving the instructions, he jumped down without saying a word.
Jiang Zhenyao was knocked unconscious by him, but he jumped down instead.
Everyone was stunned by this action.
"General!" Tang Juncheng's personal guard stretched out his hand and shouted in disbelief.
There was a Tang Juncheng who chose to jump down, and Bian Hangqing naturally climbed up to the top of the wall, wanting to follow his example.
But this time it wasn't so smooth.
Because Han Ziyu grabbed his collar from behind.
"Let go."
Han Ziyu didn't say anything, but just looked at Han Yaojun not far away.
Bian Hangqing would only obey General Han's orders, so he immediately turned his gaze to Han Yaojun with a pleading look on his face.
"It's useless. In front of a huge army, the power of an individual is too small. Even if a few more people go down, it will not help."
On the contrary, their actions will cause unrest among others, and if they all follow suit, how can he lead this army?
Bian Hangqing's face turned pale and blue. How could he not know that his strength was too weak? Even if he jumped down, he would not be able to escape unscathed and rescue Chu Jiang!
But he knew one thing, he couldn't sit here and watch his comrades die peacefully.
Han Yaojun understood the subtext behind Bian Hangqing's silence, so he did not get angry.
However, he warned in a light but powerful tone, "Bian Hangqing, this is the last time. If you don't obey my orders again, I will punish you according to military law!"
If one fails to obey the commander's orders on the battlefield, the offender may be executed on the spot to serve as a warning to others.
Bian Hangqing was not afraid of death, but under Han Yaojun's cold look, he didn't insist on jumping.
He silently retracted his left leg that was already on the wall.
"...yes."
Chu Xi and Qi Minsong were fighting fiercely under the city wall. No one else dared to interfere in their fight.
The soldiers of Western Chu automatically bypassed where the two of them were and focused on besieging Chu Er and his men.
Qi Minsong was not her opponent at first, but because Chu Xi had not had much rest in the past few days, she had more than ten wounds on her body that had not yet healed, so her strength was greatly reduced.
Qi Minsong invited him again.
"Prince Chu, I really admire you. I don't want to see someone as outstanding as you buried with the city of Xi'an."
"However, as long as you are willing to surrender, I will try my best to meet all your demands."
Chu Xi curled her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes, only indifference.
"Okay, then you should take everyone back to Western Chu first, and then hand over all the correspondence between the Eighth Prince and you, and I will consider your surrender!"
When Qi Minsong heard this, he knew that what Chu Jiang said meant - there is no room for negotiation.
He sighed, "Why are you so stubborn?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the soldiers around him.
The Western Chu soldiers surrounding Chu Xi received the eye signal from Qi Minsong and immediately attacked her.
It was at this time that Tang Juncheng broke into the encirclement.
"Come on."
