This villain has become a ghost

Yue Liuyun’s drug rehabilitation method was very painful, but many people managed to survive. Although they were pale and thin, their eyes still showed a desire to survive.

Most of the soldiers in the drug rehabilitation center died in the fire that day, and the only ones left were civilians with no offensive power.

Feng Ning brought a group of people to protect them.

Someone in the crowd sobbed softly:

"Wuzhou...Wuzhou is not going to be destroyed, right?"

Those Chiyu people are too cruel, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities. If Wuzhou is occupied by them, they will definitely massacre the whole city.

Someone said, "It's hard to say. That night... many people died in the fire. Now the only ones able to fight... are the troops from Quanzhou..."

Others wondered: "Will they really protect us..."

In their eyes, the person who truly protected them is already dead.

"How about we..."

“…Why don’t you just run…”

The crowd finally started to get noisy, pushing and arguing, trying to run towards the South Gate, which led to Quanzhou.

Feng Ning shouted, "...Don't act rashly. The city will not be destroyed tonight..."

However, his voice could not be heard at all in the noisy and crowded crowd.

One by one, the voices grew louder and louder as they crowded towards the south gate.

A group of people began to bang on the South Gate, clamoring for it to be opened.

Feng Ning took a deep breath and shouted again:

"If you open the door, you will be in great danger because we don't have enough troops to protect you on the road! Stay calm!"

Someone shouted:

"Insufficient troops? How can we fight with insufficient troops? The city will surely be destroyed..."

"Let us go, let us go quickly..."

The originally depressing atmosphere seemed to have fallen into despair at this moment. The crying and noise in the crowd became louder, and the knocking on the door gradually turned into the sound of pounding on the door, as if they were in endless panic and fear.

Seeing that the South Gate was about to be knocked open, Feng Ning drew his sword in a hurry and threatened: "Don't move!"

"The city will not be destroyed. Support from the imperial court will arrive soon!"

The crowd shouted:

"The imperial court? The imperial court has long since stopped caring about us, otherwise they wouldn't have sent a little girl to govern Wuzhou..."

"Maybe she's already escaped..."

"Where is she..."

"Open the door, open the door..."

Due to the crowd, the South Gate was completely knocked away.

The sound of horse hooves sounded.

A woman in plain moon-white clothes came riding on a horse, with a sword hanging at her waist and a black object in her hand.

She stood at the broken south gate, followed by several soldiers, who surrounded the gate.

"boom--"

The deafening roar tore through the darkness, and the people finally quieted down.

Yue Liuyun's calm voice reached everyone's ears clearly, saying, "I have been in Wuzhou for some time."

"On my first day in office, I promised you that Wuzhou would be completely transformed."

“What was Wuzhou like originally?”

"The people do not care about food, but spend their days in bed smoking. The soldiers do not fight, but return to the fields to plant opium, which has no edible value. The officials do not care about the people, but search for purified opium and white powder..."

"I think... you should also be able to distinguish right from wrong. If this continues, will Wuzhou be destroyed by starvation and constant hunger?"

"Ever since I took office, let's not even talk about what I've done. Just look at Wuzhou today. The fertile fields are thriving, the garrison is strong, and the decadent atmosphere has been swept away..."

"nowadays……"

"I can also assure you that Wuzhou will not be destroyed, and the imperial court will not abandon us. If Xuanzhou can win, so can Wuzhou!"

"I will never abandon you. As long as the city is here, I will be there. Even if the city falls... I will ensure your safety!"

Yue Liuyun's eyes turned cold:

"Of course... you don't have to trust me."

"Remember, I will not protect those who betray me."

"So...if any of you are willing to leave now, I will let you go. But after you pass this door, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Now, you can choose whether to leave and face the risk of life or death, or to stay and live and die with me."

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

They looked up at the city gate cautiously. It looked like a bloody mouth about to open, filled with unknown fear.

They were too impulsive just now. Now that they have calmed down, how will they cope with life when they leave this door without anyone to protect them?

On the other hand, the girl on the horse had thin shoulders, a pale face, and an uncontrollable cough while speaking, but she exuded the aura of a steady and calm strong person.

Like the bright moon in the sky, but sharper and tougher than the moon.

Feng Ning closed the sword in his hand, making a "crackling" sound in the darkness. He was the first to shout loudly: "I swear to live and die with you, my lord!"

The moonlight illuminated the cold gleam of the swords, and the soldiers followed suit with a resolute cry: "We swear to live and die with you, my Lord!"

There was a commotion among the crowd.

Everyone shouted in unison:

"I swear to live and die with you, my Lord!"

The musket was retracted, Yue Liuyun gripped the reins of the horse tightly and rushed towards the main gate.

Outside the city, the enemy's vanguard pushed siege vehicles and rushed towards the city gate desperately.

The huge battering ram hit the heavy city gate again and again, making a dull sound, as if the bell of hell was ringing.

The archers on the city walls drew their bows and drew their arrows, quenching them with fire and firing darts at the enemy troops below. The arrows fell like locusts, leaving behind screams and bloodstains.

The wooden block fell to the ground with a thud.

"Pour oil!" Pei Duo shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice a little hoarse. Barrels of boiling hot oil were poured down, and a sea of fire instantly ignited under the city. The enemy's charging troops were engulfed in the flames, and their howls of pain echoed through the night sky.

However, the enemy troops seemed to be endless. They set up ladders and frantically climbed the city walls. The defenders fought hard, stabbing the enemy who climbed up the wall with their spears and cutting the ladders.

Swords flashed and blood splattered under the moonlight.

At the rear of the battlefield, Murong Jin rode on a tall horse, watching the battle with a gloomy expression.

"Drum roll! Continue the attack!"

Wuzhou, a mere city, was able to hold out for such a long time with just that few guards, causing her such heavy losses. She underestimated these people and underestimated Wuzhou.

I guess... they've run out of explosives.

"We've run out of explosives," Pei Duo said solemnly, looking at Yue Liuyun from the city wall. "...The best way now is to continue the fire attack."

"Their armor is too hard, and their skin is too thick. Ordinary arrows do little damage to them."

The most important thing is that their army is far too large compared to the pitiful guards of Wuzhou.

Yue Liuyun covered his lips and coughed softly a few times, then looked at Feng Ning:

"Continue the fire attack."
