With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Nangong Xin sheathed his sword, his face as dark as a cloud. He mounted his horse and chased after the army.

Outside the north city was a massive mass of Northern Di troops.

A rain of arrows flew in from outside the city, hitting the garrison soldiers one after another, and countless soldiers defending the city fell down.

Outside the city wall, the Northern Di army set up siege ladders, and countless Northern Di soldiers were attacking the city.

Under the cover of shields, the defending troops on the city wall continuously shot arrows at the Northern Di army attacking the city. Screams were heard one after another, and countless bodies fell from the city wall, their faces disfigured beyond recognition.

Screams, roars, and the sounds of bodies being pierced by sharp weapons continued to echo over Beisha City, suddenly waking those in the city who had fallen into a deep sleep.

They put on their clothes and looked towards the north gate with fear and panic.

There, flames shot up into the sky and screams continued...

Baili Moqing and others who lived in the northern suburbs were also awakened early by the sound.

At this moment, he sat in his wheelchair, looking out the door. The dense crabapple trees blocked out most of the moon in the sky. Half of his body was hidden in the darkness, and even if he did nothing, he was still intimidating.

Xiao Yier was also woken up by the noise. She rubbed her eyes and found that there was no one around. A look of fear appeared on her face.

She walked down the ground barefoot, put on the down jacket Shu He had made for her, and walked towards the outer room.

At the door, Shu He looked outside with a worried look.

"Mother!"

Hearing the sound, Shu He quickly turned around, saw Xiao Yier barefoot, and quickly picked her up.

"Why don't you wear shoes when you get out of bed? You'll get sick!"

Xiao Yier hugged her neck, a look of fear on her face, "Mom, what's going on outside? Who's crying?"

Shu He touched her hair and carried her back to the inner room.

"Yier, mother has something to do and needs to go out for a while. Can you let Aunt Wang sleep with you?" Shu He's face showed some apology.

She shouldn't have left Xiao Yi'er at this moment. However, she couldn't remain indifferent after hearing the tragic noises outside.

Moreover, most of Beisha City's troops had been dispatched, leaving the city depleted of manpower. If she didn't go to help, Beisha City might be captured in no time. By then, she still wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

Yi'er hugged Shuhe's neck tightly, obviously not wanting her to leave.

Just when Shu He was in a dilemma, Xiao Yier's hand suddenly loosened.

She looked at her with slightly hazy eyes and smiled at her, "Mom, go ahead. Yi'er is not afraid!"

Shu He was stunned, her eyes felt sore, and tears instantly blurred her vision.

Did her little Yier understand what was happening outside? Did she know what she was going to do...

"Yier, go sleep with Aunt Wang. Yier will be very good. Don't worry, mother."

Shu He could no longer control his tears and held Xiao Yier in his arms before the tears fell.

"Be good, Yi'er, mother will be back soon!"

After sending Xiao Yier to Madam Wang's place, when he came out, he happened to meet Nanqi pushing Baili Moqing out.

"Do you have a sword?"

Shu He spoke up and stopped the two of them.

Baili Moqing turned around. She was wearing a thin crescent-colored silk dress with her long and wide sleeves tied up. Her indifferent face showed a bit of coldness.

Nanqi glanced at Baili Moqing, and after getting his signal, he turned back to the house and came out with a silver sword.

Shu He took the sword and weighed it. It was a good weight, not too heavy, not too light. As for its sharpness, he knew it was good without testing. After all, it belonged to Baili Moqing.

"Let's go."

At the north city gate, Nangong Xin looked at the "very few" defense troops in the city, and the anger on his face was replaced by astonishment. "Only these few people? Where are the others?"

He was asking the soldier guarding his tent. They were the only two left in the huge camp who had finally arrived.

The soldier hesitated, but finally confessed the truth.

When Nangong Xin heard that the defense army and the Chengfeng army were not in the city, one could imagine how ugly his face was.

"Didn't I order all the troops to be recalled?" He saw with his own eyes the large number of soldiers returning to the camp!

The soldier didn't say anything. He didn't know either. All he knew was that many people in the camp were gone, and only some had returned.

In fact, what Nangong Xin saw was just what Baili Moqing did on purpose for him and Yang You to see.

To ambush the Northern Di vanguard, the Beisha City army had to quietly go around to the rear of the Northern Di army. However, for an army of tens of thousands, getting out of the city quietly was a big problem.

Previously, Baili Moqing had thought of breaking up the army into smaller units, first sending the main force out of the city in small, low-key batches. Two days later, he would use the remaining 5,000 garrison troops to march out of the city in a grand manner, creating the illusion of aiding Chen, and then quietly return to defend the city. While this method was feasible, it was somewhat risky and could easily be detected by Yang You.

But Nangong Xin's appearance gave Baili Moqing a better solution. The army left the city without hiding, and after Nangong Xin ordered the withdrawal, the 5,000-strong defense force returned to the camp in a high-profile manner. With this in and out, it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect any abnormality.

It was precisely because of Nangong Xin's accidental act that Shen Chuan mistakenly believed that Beisha City would not send troops, and thus changed his strategy and prepared to encircle and attack Beisha City.

This move also caught the Northern Di vanguard army, which was attacked by Chengfeng and Fangbei, off guard!

Of course, Nangong Xin, who had inadvertently become a pawn, was completely unaware of all this. He only felt that his prestige was being despised and challenged, and that no one cared about him as the "chief of the march"!

Burning with rage, he turned around and saw a Northern Di soldier climbing up the siege ladder to the top of the city wall. He frowned, turned all his inner anger into strength, and slashed at those Northern Di soldiers.

The sound of swords and guns on the city walls resounded through the sky, and rockets fell in all directions, setting the already dilapidated streets of the North City on fire again.

Fortunately, because of the last invasion of the Northern Di army, all the people in the northern streets were evacuated to the east and south of the city, and there were no casualties among the people, but the situation for the soldiers guarding the city on the wall was not optimistic.

The Northern Di army was too large and had too many bows and arrows. The 5,000-strong defensive force had poor equipment and was not the most elite in combat, so the casualties were very heavy.

At the foot of the city, Baili Moqing sat in a wheelchair, the urgency in his eyes almost bursting out. But his powerless legs made him furious again and again.

Nanqi had already flown to the top of the wall to kill the foreign enemies.

Shu He unconsciously put his hand on his shoulder and patted him twice, saying soothingly, "Don't worry."

Baili Moqing closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing, but he could not control the surging and frenzy in his heart.

"I promised the people of Beisha City that as long as I'm here, Beisha City will never fall! I can't break my promise!"

Shu He's eyes flickered slightly, and she opened her red lips slightly, "I know."

"Can you let me stand up again?" He looked up, and for the first time, his slender white hand took her wrist. Between his brows, there was a hint of expectation and request.

Shu He lowered her eyes. How could she not know what he was thinking? However, his body could no longer withstand the overdraft.

Baili Moqing felt disappointed as he watched her remain silent. He hammered his wheelchair with a sense of helplessness and guilt. "I didn't think Shen Chuan would react so quickly. I underestimated him!"

I originally thought that Shen Chuan would react by the next day at the earliest. By then, the defense forces should have returned to the city, so even if the Northern Di invaded again, it wouldn't be a problem.

Unexpectedly, he noticed something unusual so quickly! Moreover, he even took the risk of attacking Beisha City at night.

He guessed that Beisha City was short of troops at this time!

It was him who underestimated the enemy!
