"Liaoning dogs! Take this!"

Han Shizhong leaped up, using his shield to protect himself, and charged towards Xiao Yixue!

He concealed his knife behind his back, waiting for the shield bash to succeed so he could follow up with a sword technique to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent!

"clang!"

Xiao Yixue was also armed with a sword and shield. Facing Han Shizhong's shield attack, Xiao Yixue chose to block it with his shield!

In Xiao Yixue's view, Han Shizhong was brave to charge into his own formation alone, but he would soon be swallowed up by the sea of ​​people!

But to his surprise, Han Shizhong's shield was very powerful, and it actually forced him to retreat repeatedly!

Meanwhile, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue, both bald men, had already torn a hole in the shield wall, and some of the Dayi infantry had rushed in to support Han Shizhong!

"drink!"

Seeing the battle turning against him, Xiao Yixue could no longer bear it. He suddenly exerted force, stomping his foot firmly on the ground to block Han Shizhong's shield charge!

But the next moment, the power in front of Xiao Yixue's shield suddenly disappeared!

Years of combat experience told him that his opponent was about to dive down and attack his lower body, so he jumped without hesitation and pressed his shield down at the same time, trying to pin his opponent down!

"Ok?"

Han Shizhong was indeed diving down to attack, but his sword missed its mark. At the same time, he felt pressure from above. Without hesitation, he leaped to the side to avoid Xiao Yixue's attack.

"Who are you! I don't kill nameless nobodies!"

After Han Shizhong stood up, he first slashed a Liao man who was trying to sneak up from behind, and then spoke to Xiao Yixue, who had also stood up.

"General Xiao Yixue of the Liao Dynasty, who are you?"

Xiao Yixue's back was a little wet. If that low-body attack had hit him, he would have lost at least one leg!

"A general of the Liao Kingdom? Not bad, not bad. Remember, I am Han Shizhong, the deputy commander of the Dayi Vajra Army!"

When Han Shizhong heard that Xiao Yixue was a general of the Liao Kingdom, his eyes lit up! Without saying a word, he charged forward again!

This is a great general; killing him would make him even more impressive!

"You arrogant brat, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Xiao Yixue saw the thought in Han Shizhong's eyes and was furious. This junior actually thought he was a hero? Unforgivable!

The two men clashed, shield to shield and sword to sword, locked in a fierce and chaotic battle!

……

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Yelü Chun was in the palace. Since the start of the siege, his ears had been filled with various noises. His scouts said that those were the sounds of the enemy attacking the city.

Yelü Chun had never experienced such a scene before, and he felt uneasy. After the noise lasted for half an hour, he summoned his servants and dressed himself in full armor so that he could be prepared to deal with any unfavorable situation at any time.

"What's wrong? How's the fighting at the front?"

Hearing that the scouts had come in a panic, Yelü Chun's heart sank. It seemed that something had indeed happened!

"Your Majesty, a section of the Zhongjing city wall has been breached and collapsed by the enemy. Now the soldiers are risking their lives to fight the enemy to reclaim the wall!"

The scout who came to deliver the message said quickly.

"What? A section of the city wall has collapsed?"

Yelü Chun found it unbelievable that a section of the city wall of Zhongjing had actually been breached.

"Yes, Your Majesty, and the enemy's offensive is very fierce. Your Majesty, you may... you may need to leave the capital."

The scout lowered his head and spoke with some difficulty.

"Leave the capital? What do you mean? Are you telling me to desert my post?"

Yelü Chun frowned. Was the situation really that bad?

"Your Majesty, the generals are currently at the city wall. The enemy is extremely fierce this time. For the sake of the Liao Dynasty, you should leave first."

"I cannot leave! Let Yelü Erliduo lead the royal family to retreat! I must go to the city walls to oversee the battle!"

Yelü Chun said that he could not withdraw, because if he did, Zhongjing would truly be in chaos.

"Your Majesty, you must not! If you fall into enemy hands, that would be the worst outcome. You must retreat."

Yelü Chun's trusted eunuchs also agreed to let Yelü Chun leave first.

"If I retreat, the morale of so many soldiers in Zhongjing will surely collapse. Have you ever heard of an emperor who, during a battle, abandoned his troops and ran away first?"

"Besides, this is a battle to defend the imperial city. I am the emperor. What would it mean if I withdrew first?"

Yelü Chun declared that he absolutely could not retreat!

“Your Majesty, it doesn’t really matter if you withdraw, because there is still an emperor in Zhongjing City. Moreover, he once abandoned his army and ran away.”

After thinking for a moment, the eunuch gritted his teeth and said to Yelü Chun.

"You mean... Yelü Yanxi?"

Yelü Chun was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was going on.

Yes, Yelü Yanxi is here too, but he's currently under house arrest in his residence.

And this kid did indeed abandon the army and run away first.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The late Emperor was also an emperor. Moreover, leaving him to guard Zhongjing City is a good way for him to atone for his past mistakes."

"Your Majesty, exchanging the late Emperor for the peace of the entire royal family is worthwhile no matter how you look at it."

The eunuch advised Yelü Chun that since Yelü Yanxi could take the blame here, Yelü Chun should run away as soon as possible.

"But where can I retreat to? Coming to Zhongjing was my decision, Nanjing is currently under war, and Xijing is already in Wuyan Guang's hands. Am I supposed to return to Shangjing?"

Yelü Chun still rejected the proposal, mainly because even if he wanted to retreat, there was nowhere to retreat to!

“Your Majesty, this old servant thinks we can go to Xijing. After all, the princess is there, and Marshal Wuyan… this old servant thinks he still cares about the Liao Dynasty.”

"Moreover, Your Majesty, Marshal Wuyan is the strongest warrior in our Great Liao. With him around, we have no worries about safety."

The eunuch's words silenced Yelü Chun, for he had to admit that the eunuch's words made sense.

……

"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."

After fighting Xiao Yixue for more than ten rounds, Han Shizhong realized that Xiao Yixue's shield was of poor quality and could not stop his sword. So he became desperate and slashed at Xiao Yixue's shield with his sword!

Under his relentless slashing, Xiao Yixue had no way to effectively retaliate and could only use his shield to withstand the blows.

But even this brute force couldn't withstand Han Shizhong's frenzied attacks, and Han Shizhong shattered Xiao Yixue's shield with a powerful slash!

However, he swung his sword a little too hard, so the sword got stuck in the shield and he couldn't pull it out!

"You bastard, go to hell!"

Xiao Yixue was overjoyed at the sight. He immediately used his shield to block Han Shizhong's sword, and then slashed at Han Shizhong fiercely with his own sword!

"clang!"

Han Shizhong raised his shield to block, and now the situation was reversed; he was the one being pinned down and hacked at!

However, Han Shizhong would not tolerate such humiliation. After being slashed twice, the hot-blooded young man took the initiative to use his shield as a sword, slashing back at Xiao Yixue with the edge of the shield!

Being young is great; you're fearless and fight with sheer grit!

Sure enough, although he took a knife to Xiao Yixue's arm as a result, he retaliated by striking Xiao Yixue's helmet with the side of his shield, causing Xiao Yixue's vision to go black and forcing him to retreat!

Taking advantage of the situation, Han Shizhong rushed forward and continued to attack him frantically with the edge of his shield!

"Old man, you're so arrogant! Keep being arrogant!"

"If I don't knock your head off today, I'm not Han Shizhong!"
