This villain has become a ghost

After receiving the order, Feng Ning quickly directed the soldiers to prepare more oil drums and throw them all down. When they encountered the rockets that had been prepared long ago, for a moment... flames broke out and corpses were everywhere.

Below, the soldiers of both sides collided with each other, and the sound of weapons clashing echoed in the night sky.

Swords, spears, halberds, and arrows flew everywhere, and the sound of killing filled the air. Soldiers ran back and forth on the city walls, constantly swinging their swords to cut the grappling hooks thrown from below and firing back with sharp arrows. Inside the city wall were several winches, tied with thin iron chains, and in the middle were logs with dense iron nails protruding from the logs, resembling giant maces.

In the darkness, the guards hid under the battlements, lifted it up and threw it down the city. Suddenly, they heard screams, and then they turned the capstan hard and pulled the "mace" back.

The Chiyu army was everywhere below the city walls, which rose several feet high. They used grappling hooks and ladders to sling them up the walls, desperately climbing. Behind them were large numbers of archers, galloping back and forth on horseback, shooting arrows upwards to cover their assault. Archers on the walls also fired back continuously. Despite the advantage of terrain, the enemy was outnumbered and we were still overwhelmed.

Yue Liuyun took back the musket and added some ammunition, then stroked his sword and asked:

"What time is it now?"

Feng Ning replied: "Three quarters past midnight."

Yue Liuyun nodded: "Okay."

"Their marching formation has too many charging troops, and their cavalry moves slowly. So even if the guards aren't as strong as them, they're still at a disadvantage. The ordinary infantry on the flanks is a major weakness..." Yue Liuyun analyzed. "Pei Duo, you and I will lead a group of elite soldiers to bypass the west gate and attack."

"Feng Ning stayed behind to defend the city."

Feng Ning was worried.

As Yue Liuyun drew his sword and left, he gave Feng Ning a look and said calmly:

"If someone is not punctual, remember to tell him...I won't let him go even if I become a ghost."

Feng Ning: “…”

At this moment, the psychological shadow area accounts for 100%.

The war horses neighed and the hooves clattered.

Amidst the thick smoke, a soldier raised his spear high and lunged forward with all his might in the moonlight. The tip of the spear pierced into the enemy's chest, bringing out a stream of warm blood.

However, before he could draw his spear, a scimitar from the side whizzed towards him, leaving a fatal wound on his neck.

Blood splashed on the deputy general's face. He held the scimitar, squinted his eyes, and seemed to be even more excited by the stimulation of the blood. He spurred his horse forward, and his scimitar mercilessly reaped the lives of the soldiers.

"boom--"

The gunshots were mixed in with other sounds and therefore not obvious.

The horse neighed in pain, lost its footing and fell forward, throwing the lieutenant general out.

He jumped off his horse at that moment, and after landing, his eyes were accurately cast at the fire not far away... at the girl in white who was riding a horse and aiming at him.

Yue Liuyun said, "Sorry, it was a bit dark just now, and I made a mistake."

Pei Duo was right beside her, helping her clear the enemy troops that were surging around her. "Can you aim more accurately?"

Yue Liuyun: "Try your best."

The deputy general gritted his teeth sinisterly and was about to rush forward with his scimitar to kill her.

But he heard Murong Jin's somewhat excited voice coming from behind him:

"Don't kill Yue Liuyun. I want him alive... After that, you can cripple or disable him as you please."

Lieutenant General: "..."

The deputy general suddenly recalled the scene he saw in the Wuzhou tent that day.

It's already this late, and you're still showing mercy.

It's even disabled... You really know how to have fun.

Murong Jin himself had no idea what was going on in the deputy general's mind. Instead, he stared at his back with great satisfaction as he led a team of elite soldiers to charge forward.

... "Yue Liuyun" was the only name that could not be mentioned in the palace at that time. The amazing thing was... except for the emperor, the virtuous concubine and the imperial teacher, no one seemed to have seen her, not even Ye Zhaoxi.

The only possibility is that she is a spy secretly cultivated by the emperor.

Regardless of whether Yue Liuyun is the emperor's weakness or whether his relationship with the emperor is as she guessed, there are benefits in capturing him. At least she can get some useful information.

The deputy general saw that Yue Liuyun had put away her musket at some point, as if she had run out of ammunition, so he pointed the blade of his knife straight at her and slashed at her with force.

However, Pei Duo blocked it with a sword. The swords collided and both of them were knocked back a few steps by the recoil.

The two teams of elite troops faced off head-on. Behind them was the west city gate. On the city wall, Cao Xin was fighting with the enemy soldiers who had climbed up, his face covered in blood.

Yue Liuyun cut off the enemy soldier's head with a sword. His weapon fell only an inch away from Yue Liuyun. The pungent and pungent smell of blood caused the cough she had just suppressed to start again. Her palms hurt and she was a little breathless.

She still overestimated her own body, and she still hadn't recovered from the weakness she felt last time.

However, it is enough.

Pei Duo deliberately revealed a flaw to the deputy general. The deputy general was eager to capture Yue Liuyun alive, so he really slashed at him with a knife, but then took the opportunity to dodge sideways and moved in front of Yue Liuyun.

With a "crack", the deputy general's helmet was lifted off by Pei Duo's sword and fell to the ground. It rolled several times and was crushed to pieces by the crowd and horses' hooves.

Yue Liuyun took out the musket again, forced himself to keep his hands steady, and aimed at the deputy general's head at that moment.

She pulled the trigger and fired several shots in a row to prevent any accidents. She only stopped when the bullets in the musket were really exhausted. The recoil and the pungent smell of gunpowder made her cough violently again.

In the firelight all around, a bloody hole suddenly appeared on the deputy general's forehead. He was shot several times all over his body and fell down.

...The consequence of underestimating the enemy is to give away your life.

Pei Duo stabbed the enemy soldier who wanted to kill Yue Liuyun from behind with a sword, and blood accidentally splashed on her face.

Yue Liuyun suppressed a cough, thinking that the original plan had been achieved, and was ready to retreat under cover and call it a day.

"...You won't be able to get away so easily after killing my people."

Murong Jin had brought his men to surround them at some point, and the huge crowd of people pressed down heavily with endless murderous intent.

With excitement in her eyes, she feigned regret and said, "Yue Liuyun... I didn't intend to kill you, but you were really... so naughty that you actually killed my people."

Having said that, she didn't feel sad at all about the death of her own people.

"Then... I'll break one of your arms first, and then lock you up."

Yue Liuyun: “…”

Is it so perverted?

She was about to say a few more rude words, but was replaced by an unstoppable cough. A fishy and sweet taste seemed to surge up her throat, and there was some blood on her fingertips.

Murong Jin gave an order, and countless swords, bows and crossbows were aimed at them, emitting a chilling light. He said leisurely:

"……kill."
