A red apricot is about to cheat on you

However, the people in this tiger-dominated area hated Gu Yizhou to the core.

Just because he was stationed in Jiangzhou, every time they attacked Jiangzhou, they ended in failure and paid a heavy price for it, with countless soldiers losing their lives.

Overnight, Jiangzhou was completely surrounded by a powerful army. Furthermore, all major transportation routes were cut off, completely severing Jiangzhou's connection with the outside world.

Especially the roads leading to the capital were strictly blocked, giving Jiangzhou no chance to pass on any news to the capital.

Admittedly, if this continued, the capital would inevitably become suspicious if they didn't receive any information from Jiangzhou for a long time. But why bother? It only took a month!

They firmly believed that they would be able to capture Jiangzhou. By then, the Huju army would have successfully occupied the important areas of Jiangzhou and held great power, and they would have enough confidence and strength to attack the huge Qi Dynasty.

At this moment, the Jiangzhou government office was in chaos. Officials from all over the country gathered together. Their faces were as solemn as lead, and their eyes were filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Anxiously discussing countermeasures,

At this time, a soldier hurried up and reported nervously:

"Sir, the Tiger Ju army is coming straight at us. It will be here in less than half a minute!"

Gu Yizhou stood up immediately after hearing the voice. His face was extremely solemn, his eyes flashed with determination, and he said loudly without hesitation:

"Settle the people in the city, and all the soldiers, follow me to fight the enemy!" The voice was like a loud bell, deafening.

"Yes..." Everyone said in unison, their voices were majestic and their tone contained a feeling of being ready to die.

In a short while, Gu Yizhou was wearing the gleaming armor and standing majestically on the city wall.

His deep eyes looked at the dark mass of enemy troops below, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

General Ling, who was standing beside him, was the first to start cursing:

"You rats down there actually dare to attack my Qi Dynasty. You really don't know how to live or die!" General Ling's voice exploded on the city wall like thunder. There was anger in his tone. After cursing once, he still felt unsatisfied and cursed a few more ugly words.

On the contrary, among the enemy troops below, the leader was a fat general. His belly was so big that it looked like he was several months pregnant, squeezing all his facial features together, making him look funny and ridiculous.

He raised the gleaming knife in his hand and pointed it at General Ling, cursing at the top of his voice:

"You coward, you only dare to shout and curse on the city wall. If you have the guts, open the city gate and fight me to the death!" The voice was full of provocation.

General Ling also had a hot temper. He was so angry at these words that he leaned forward and wanted to jump off the city wall to fight.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou stretched out his hand to stop him. Then his eyes became stern and he said angrily, "Pengdu, I advise you to go back. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not do you any good."

His voice was filled with authority, and the air around them became heavy.

After hearing what Gu Yizhou said, Wendu was stunned at first, and then he burst into a very rough laugh. The laughter echoed on the battlefield, full of disdain.

He taunted, "Gu Yizhou, I advise you to surrender wisely. Don't think your emperor will send troops to support you, or even think your regent will come to your aid. Dream on!

Now even an ant can't crawl through. Humph, warriors, take Jiangzhou and strive to gain merit! Attack! "

Following Wendu's loud shout, the soldiers behind him suddenly became agitated like a powder keg that had been lit, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.

"Charge..." The shout sounded like a tidal wave, and all the soldiers began to attack like a surging tide.

Seeing this, Gu Yizhou said loudly without hesitation:

"Shoot..." In an instant, the archers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows, and wave after wave of arrows whizzed towards the enemy like a meteor shower.

The dense rain of arrows shot towards the enemy, and in an instant, the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

At the same time, huge rocks fell downwards, and every time a rock fell, it brought with it screams.

At the gate of the city wall, the enemy was ramming it hard with wooden stakes. Despite the tight defense, a small number of enemy soldiers still managed to climb up the wall.

Gu Yizhou was not afraid at all. He led his soldiers and killed the enemy troops on the city wall one by one.

The battle lasted for half a quarter of an hour. Wendu saw that the situation was not good. The casualties of his own soldiers on the battlefield were getting heavier and heavier. If he continued to attack, he would lose more soldiers.

The leader's order was that one of the main purposes of this attack was to exhaust Jiangzhou's food supplies, so he immediately ordered a retreat! The voice rang out on the battlefield.

Upon hearing the order, the enemy troops retreated like a tide.

Seeing this, everyone shouted excitedly and watched the enemy flee in panic. They thought the battle was won.

But Gu Yizhou frowned as he watched the enemy retreat, secretly worried that they might be in even greater trouble.

Now the people in the city began to panic. They all wanted to flee Jiangzhou, but Hu Ju had already occupied all the exits of Jiangzhou and wanted to surround them in the city and wait for them to die.

Yuerong was always worried, her eyes were full of worry and fear, and Yi Duoer tried her best to comfort her.

Yi Duoer patted Yue Rong's shoulder and said gently, "Sister, don't worry. God will take care of you. He will be fine."

But Yue Rong couldn't feel at ease at all. Her eyes were full of worry about Gu Yizhou. Regardless of her pregnancy, she insisted on going to the city gate to find Gu Yizhou. Only when she saw that he was safe and sound could she feel at ease.

Seeing this, Yi Duoer hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, you are pregnant now, you can't go there. I will go and see if the master is okay for you." Without waiting for her to answer, Yi Duoer ordered the maid beside her to take good care of the lady, and then ran out.

Walking down the street, I saw that everyone on the street had a heavy look on their face.

Just as Yi Duoer was distracted, a large hand suddenly reached out and pulled her aside. Yi Duoer was startled by this sudden action. She was about to curse, but when she saw the man's face, she was stunned and her anger disappeared.

"Xie Xingchen, why are you here?" Her tone was full of confusion, and her big eyes stared at him intently with surprise in them.

"Duo'er, answer me first, why are you here? Isn't Chu Jingchen with you?" He did not answer Yi Duo'er's words, but asked her three questions in a row. There was concern and a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Yi Duoer sighed secretly, turned her body slightly to the side, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and told him everything about how she was sold to a brothel.

Every word she spoke was like a knife, piercing Xie Xingchen's heart.

This made him feel guilty and regretful. If he had gone into Yixianglou at that time, Duoer would not have suffered so much.

He kept cursing Chu Jingchen in a low voice. In his opinion, Chu Jingchen was despicable for not only failing to protect Duo'er but also wanting to fight for her.

Yi Duoer chuckled, shook her head slightly, and said:

"Others have no obligation to protect you, let alone guard you, so please stop saying these things."

Xie Xingchen saw that her attitude towards Chu Jingchen was very cold, which made him feel comfortable.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Yi Duoer looked at the tense situation around them and worriedly told Xie Xingchen to return to his country as soon as possible, saying that it was very dangerous here.

Xie Xingchen said in a deep voice: "If I leave, I will take you with me. Besides, they have surrounded Jiangzhou to prevent them from asking for reinforcements!" His eyes were firm and gentle, staring at Yi Duoer closely, as if telling her that he would not let her be in danger again.

"These bastards," Yi Duoer cursed unhappily, then looked at Xie Xingchen again, asking him what his plan was. She knew that Xie Xingchen was always smart and resourceful, so perhaps he had a way to deal with it.

Xie Xingchen naturally wouldn't leave Yi Duo'er at this moment. He had to stay by her side to protect her. He couldn't let Yi Duo'er get hurt again.

Even as they were talking, many wounded people were carried back from the street.

Some of the wounded had faces full of pain, some were covered in blood, and their groans echoed in the air.

When Yi Duoer saw this scene, she showed a very distressed expression, and her kind heart was deeply hurt.

She couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Then, she turned to look at Xie Xingchen again, and said solemnly, "I can't accompany you. I have to go treat the wounded."

After that, she joined the team to treat the wounded without hesitation. Her frail figure shuttled among the wounded, gently wiping their wounds and bandaging them carefully without any disdain.

Xie Xingchen looked at Yi Duo'er's busy figure, and admired her even more. Yi Duo'er was really different from other noble ladies.

He looked at the situation around him and realized that he couldn't get out now. If Hu Ju really occupied Jiangzhou, with Tuoba Yu's cruelty, he would definitely kill all the people in the city.

Then, he would also be doomed. So, he took his secret guards and resolutely joined Gu Yizhou's army to temporarily help them resist the foreign enemies.
