At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

Wudun Chanyu captured these people as captives not only to serve as manpower, but also to let them rush to the front and die to cover the charge of the army.

"Distribute the iron to them."

At a command from Chanyu Wudun, several cavalrymen pulled three large carts of iron tools over.

"Now I give you two a choice. Either you take up your weapons and fight for me, and I will set you free when the city is broken, or you die now."

"You choose." Udon Chanyu glanced at the kneeling people.

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them, a scarred man and an old man, stood up first and picked out a barely usable machete from the car.

Following the lead of these two people, the rest of the people also joined in to grab the ironware.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well fight for the Great Chanyu. Maybe I can have a chance to survive.

As for the remaining prisoners who failed to grab the iron weapons, Udon Chanyu killed them all on the spot as they were unwilling to fight for him.

Everyone was terrified and secretly thankful that they had managed to snatch the ironware so that they could survive a little longer.

"Master, when we charge later, you must not rush to the front or run to the back. We will rush in the middle." The scarred man reminded the old man next to him.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." The old man gave the scarred man a cold look.

"Humph, if you weren't stupid, would we be in this situation now? We should have been living a good life in Hanjing a long time ago." The scarred man snorted in annoyance. He got angry whenever he heard the old man's catchphrase "I'm not stupid".

"Blame me, it's all my fault..." The old man sighed and shook his head.

The old man who looked regretful was none other than Lin Yi.

After he left Minglan Kingdom with his caravan, he ignored Tiehu's dissuasion and insisted on robbing one or two tribes, stealing some cattle, sheep and other property, and then returning to Hanjing through Wei.

But who would have thought that the small tribe was not robbed, but was caught red-handed by the men of Udun Chanyu.

Not only were the silver cakes stolen, but the people were also abducted and used as captives.

Lin Yi now really regretted not listening to Tiehu and ended up in this situation.

"Tiehu, you could obviously run away at that time, why didn't you run?" Lin Yi asked puzzledly.

People who work as merchants and bandits only believe in profit, not integrity.

"Maybe, I'm stupid." Tiehu moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed in his heart. After all, you are my father. How can I abandon you?

"Haha, you are a bit like me in this respect." Lin Yi suddenly smiled and suddenly remembered the memories of his youth when he was doing business and banditry.

When he was young, he was like Tiehu.

Even though he kept saying that he only believed in profit and not righteousness, when the master was really in trouble, he couldn't bear it and returned to protect the master.

At this moment, Lin Yi seemed to see his younger self in Tiehu.

The contradiction is that one wants to pursue profit, but also wants to uphold the righteousness in one's heart.

buzzing...

As a dull horn sounded, Lin Yi's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. What greeted them was an overwhelming rain of fire arrows and the despair of seeing no hope of survival.

Not only did the Minglan Kingdom's archers shoot wave after wave of flaming arrows at them, but even the Northern Hu cavalry following behind them were shooting wave after wave of iron arrows at them, driving them forward to their deaths.

Anyone who rushed in slowly was either killed by the flaming arrows of the Minglan archers or by the iron arrows or scimitars of the northern barbarians.

Five hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

One hundred meters...

Seeing that these siege vehicles were about to rush to the city wall of Minglan, a guard asked anxiously: "Master Sikong, can we use thunderbolts now? The enemy is about to push the siege vehicles to the city!!!"

"Don't worry. The main force of Wudun Chanyu is still in the rear. We can't use thunderbolts now. We can only use them when they are within 300 meters."

Ren Hao pretended to be calm on the surface, but he was actually a little panicked in his heart. He did not expect that Wudun Chanyu would be so despicable as to send a large number of Qukou to charge and die, consuming their arrows, rolling stones and logs.

As the invaders rushed to the city of Minglan, they began to use siege vehicles to ram the city gates and walls.

The guards and crossbowmen guarding the city walls threw down boulders and logs to prevent the enemies from breaking into the city.

"what!!!"

In an instant, there were screams and countless casualties under the city wall.

But even if one group died, there was always another group that would push the siege vehicles fearlessly and then crash into the city walls and gates.

They will not give up until the city walls and gates are breached.

"Lord Sikong, quickly give the order to use thunderbolts to destroy those siege vehicles. If thunderbolts are not used to destroy the siege vehicles, I'm afraid the south wall..."

A guard came running over in panic, but before he could finish his words, he was shot in the head by a stray arrow. The arrow also passed through Ren Hao's right cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Master Sikong, the city gate can no longer be defended. It's about to be broken through."

"Hurry up and give the order to use thunderbolts." Another guard came running to report in panic.

"You are not allowed to use thunderbolts without my order. Now that you can't defend the city anymore, then don't do that. Transport all the thunderbolts to the west and north walls and let them into the city!!!" After Ren Hao shouted at the guards, he looked at the 100,000 cavalrymen who were still slowly advancing in the distance.

The reason why Ren Hao has always disagreed to use thunderbolt is because the main force of Wudun Chanyu's army has not yet approached the coverage area of ​​thunderbolt. Once thunderbolt is used now, it will only alert the enemy and make all plans fail.

"Ren Hao, you bastard!!!"

"If we leave those siege vehicles intact, what will happen to the tens of thousands of people in the city once the city walls are destroyed or the city gates are lost? Are you just going to let them be killed?" Princess Rouyue ran over angrily and confronted Ren Hao.

"If we use thunderbolts now, we can save the people, but it will make Wudun Chanyu realize that there is an ambush, and they will not attack again."

"Once they retreat and return to the camp to confront us, all the reinforcements ambushed on the top of the mountain and the warriors who have already died in the battle will be in vain."

“Can you understand!!!” Ren Hao yelled at Princess Rouyue and felt smoke coming out of his throat.

At this moment, Princess Rouyue stood there in a daze, not knowing whether she had heard what Ren Hao said.

Just as Ren Hao was about to turn around to observe the movements of Wudun Chanyu, Princess Rouyue hugged Ren Hao and rolled down the stairs together.

Just as the two men rolled down the stairs, a huge rock fell on the city wall.
