"Then what is the use of the scimitar you hang around your waist? Is it just for it to look good?" Ren Hao glanced at Captain Chi Na.

"My sword will never kill innocent people." Captain Chi Na raised his eyebrows, looked reluctant, turned around and walked down the stone steps.

"Back off!!!"

He shouted at the people who were blocking the city gate, but no one obeyed his order and they continued to crowd at the gate, trying to force the gate open by bypassing the guards.

"What a good trick! Attacking the heart is the first, and then attacking the strategy."

"It seems that this Udon Chanyu was able to conquer the entire grassland not only by relying on brute force, but also by making good use of the art of war." Ren Hao sighed as he looked at the people in chaos outside the city.

"Get the bow."

Following Xu Qing's order, the archers guarding the city wall pulled their bows to their full length and aimed at the people under the city gate.

"Don't release them! Don't release them!!!" Commander Chi Na raised his head and shouted.

But no one obeyed his command and dropped the arrows.

"put!!!"

Following Xu Qing's order, a rain of arrows swept over the people living under the city.

Faced with the sweeping rain of arrows, the people scattered and hid everywhere.

Those civilians who did not have time to hide, or those livestock who did not have time to take away, were all shot into a hornet's nest by the rain of arrows, and their deaths were extremely tragic.

For a moment, screams resounded throughout the city gate, and no one dared to try to open the gate again.

The commander of the Chi Na army rushed forward angrily, grabbed Ren Hao by the collar and yelled, "They are just unarmed civilians or traveling merchants and craftsmen. Do you really need to aim your arrows at them? What's the difference between what you are doing and those brutal northern barbarians?"

"If those northern barbarians took advantage of the open city gates to rush in, or if those merchants and craftsmen who were let go ran to join Wudun Chanyu, provided him with a large amount of supplies, and made more scimitars and iron arrows, can you take on this responsibility?" Ren Hao pulled away China Tongwei's right hand and said in a low voice.

"I can take it!!!" Commander Chi Na shouted with gritted teeth.

"What can you use to carry it? Your mouth, which is harder than stone."

Before Ren Hao could open his mouth, everyone heard a sarcasm that sounded like the sound of nature.

I saw a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes walking up the steps to the city wall. Her face covered with white gauze was like a black gauze covering the moon, making people want to reach out and lift it up to take a look at her beauty.

"Rouyue, why did you come up here? It's too dangerous here. It's not the place for you to come." King Minglan asked with concern.

"Father, I just want to lend you a helping hand." Princess Rouyue said softly.

"How can you help your father? This is not a place for you women to stay. Go down quickly and don't make trouble here." King Minglan sighed with relief.

But Princess Rouyue was determined not to leave. She wanted to live and die with all the soldiers and resist the siege of Chanyu Wudun together.

"Nonsense!!!" King Minglan was so angry that he wanted to slap Rouyue, but was stopped by Ren Hao who was beside him: "King Minglan, since your daughter is willing to lend you a helping hand, let her stay to boost morale. I will do my best to protect her then."

"Master Sikong, I only have this one left..."

"Eh..." Prince Minglan sighed and seemed to be hesitant to speak, which was considered a compromise.

"Thank you, Lord Sikong, for your help." Princess Rouyue bowed softly.

Ren Hao waved his hand and was about to say something to Princess Rouyue when he heard a loud roar: "All troops, alert..."

Before the scout standing on the high ground could shout the word "prepare", he saw an arrow coming from a distance and shot him down.

Looking along the trajectory of the arrow, one could see dust rising in the distance and hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen stationed a mile away from Minglan Kingdom.

The middle-aged man riding a white horse with a long whip on his head was the notorious Udun Chanyu.

"Sure enough, these northern barbarians are not trustworthy. Pi Jianli said that they would attack the city in three days, but in the end, they attacked immediately before even two hours had passed." Ren Hao smiled and glanced at Captain Chi Na who was still insisting on opening the city gate to let people go.

When Commander Chi Na saw 100,000 cavalrymen approaching the city, he finally faced the reality and stopped being stubborn.

"Everyone, this place is about to become a battlefield. You should all go back to the palace to invite Hou Jiayin first." Ren Hao said to the kings of various countries.

After all, they have no fighting power at all, and staying on the city wall would only be a burden to everyone.

When the kings of various countries heard what Ren Hao said, they all breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the hall, fearing that Ren Hao would change his mind and ask them to fight with all the soldiers.

Seeing that Prince Minglan was still not leaving, Princess Rouyue stepped forward, snatched the scimitar from his hand and said, "Father, you should also return to the palace and hide as soon as possible. Your daughter will guard here for you."

"My daughter..." Prince Minglan was about to say something, but Princess Rouyue interrupted him: "Father, there is no need to say more. If you lose your daughter, you can give birth to another one, but the king cannot die."

"Please go back, father." Princess Rouyue said resolutely.

Prince Minglan sighed, looked at Ren Hao beside him and said, "Lord Sikong, Rouyue is my only child. Please keep your promise and protect her as much as possible so that she can survive."

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise." Ren Hao nodded and looked at Wudun Chanyu in the distance.

The moment Udon Chanyu raised his hand, hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen behind him all pulled their bows to their full length.

"put!!!"

Following Chi Wen's order, after the first arrow was shot, hundreds of thousands of arrows followed closely, all rushing towards the Minglan Kingdom.

Everyone standing on the city wall sought cover to hide. The guards who did not have time to dodge were shot into a hornet's nest by the incoming rain of arrows.

While Ren Hao was avoiding the rain of arrows, Wudun Chanyu ordered his men to push catapults and siege vehicles out of the camp and throw huge rocks at Minglan Kingdom.

The city wall of Minglan Kingdom was originally built with a mixture of mud and stones. Once it was hit by a huge rock, it would be completely destroyed and smashed through.

When Zuoxie King Chi Wen saw that a gap was smashed in the city wall of Minglan Kingdom, he immediately asked for orders from Wudun Chanyu, wanting to be the first to rush into Minglan Kingdom and tear Ren Hao into pieces to relieve his hatred.

"Don't be in a hurry." Wudun Chanyu waved his hand, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry made way for them.

I saw tens of thousands of people being driven to the front of the Great Chanyu and kneeling down.

These captives were all captured by Wudun Chanyu along the way. Among them were people from the northern Hu tribes who had resisted them, Wei merchants abducted from the border of Wei, and Hu people from the Western Regions.
