The emperor is biased and wants to kill me, but you chickened out when the army is at the city gates

In the freezing cold, the Tulan army was marching at full speed.

Snow began to fall heavily, but for the Jurchen soldiers who were already accustomed to fighting in icy and snowy conditions, this did not affect them in the slightest.

Tu Lan took the lead, her eyes filled with intense killing intent.

He kept urging the army behind him to speed up. Daman City was in grave danger, and he was far from being as calm and composed as he appeared.

At the same time, an hour after the Tulan army set off, a cavalry force clad in silver armor appeared silently in a grove of dead trees no more than fifteen miles from Beining City.

The one leading the group was none other than Zhao Luoying, the Queen Consort of the King of Chu.

At this moment, Zhao Luoying looked heroic, exuding a chilling aura that only a soldier with iron will could possess.

Behind her stood 30,000 fully armed Crimson Cherry Army soldiers, carrying bows and crossbows on their backs, swords at their waists, a shield firmly embedded in the saddle on the left side of their horses, and a sharp spear on their right.

On horseback, every cavalryman was filled with fighting spirit, their eyes like steel blades, eager to tear the remaining Jurchen troops on the north gate tower of Beining City to shreds.

The neighing of horses rose and fell, as if even the warhorses were filled with murderous intent.

"General, the Crimson Cherry Army is ready and requests your orders!" Vanguard General Ning Yuanfeng approached Zhao Luoying with a resolute gaze and said in a cold voice.

Zhao Luoying glanced in the direction of Beining City, her long sword pointing straight at the sky.

"Brush brush..."

In an instant, the 30,000 cavalrymen moved in perfect unison, drawing their steel swords from their waists.

"kill!"

Without any unnecessary words, Zhao Luoying roared, like fireworks exploding in the cold night, shattering the silence of the sky.

The next second, 30,000 cavalrymen charged out like a torrent of steel, kicking up billowing white smoke.

Napa has just been appointed as the new commander of the city's defense forces. He was originally serving as the deputy commander at the south gate tower of Beining City, but he was temporarily promoted because the Tulan army returned to reinforce Daman City.

He was making orderly arrangements for the Jurchen army that had just been transferred from the south city, when suddenly he faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Before he could react, a booming sound came from afar, and at that moment it seemed as if the city tower beneath his feet was trembling slightly.

"Cavalry! It's cavalry!"

The Jurchen soldiers guarding the city spotted the Red Cherry Army not far away and roared angrily, their faces turning pale.

Napa's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed to the edge of the city wall to look out. In that instant, he gasped in horror.

"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"

"Everyone, get to the city wall immediately! Archers, prepare!"

Napa turned his head and roared, the veins on his neck bulging, but his back was already soaked.

He never dreamed that his main force would be attacked so soon after leaving.

Those damned scouts are utterly useless. How could they not even detect a cavalry force of tens of thousands?

The Jurchen soldiers on the city wall were instantly thrown into chaos.

Their movements were somewhat disordered, and some of them even smelled of alcohol.

"Damn it!" Napa couldn't help but curse. He remembered that Tulan had suddenly lifted the restraint order last night, so his bunch of bastards had been wreaking havoc and causing trouble all night long, like dogs in heat.

Faced with the sudden attack, many soldiers were not yet ready to respond.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Suddenly, a volley of arrows pierced the air; the Crimson Cherry Army had clearly entered the archers' effective range.

The Jurchen soldiers were completely unaware that a hail of arrows was falling from above, and they were still struggling to find their respective defensive positions.

"Squat down! Squat down!"

"Raise your shields! Raise your shields!"

Napa roared in anguish, for in that very instant, more than a dozen soldiers had died before his very eyes.

Blood splattered, and screams echoed through the sky. At this moment, the dazed Jurchen army finally came to their senses and began to show some fighting strength.

However, by this time, more than half of the Crimson Cherry Army outside the city had already crossed the most dangerous area and rushed to the foot of the city wall.

This was originally the best opportunity for the Jurchen army to shoot, but now the opportunity has been lost.

On the other side, in front of the city gate of Daman City, the Shence Army had gradually retreated, leaving only a small force to prevent the enemy from counterattacking.

"Gentlemen, I know you must be very tired right now, but for the people of Daqi and to retake Beining City, we have no time to rest."

Standing before the army, Qin Xuan's eyes gleamed like a tiger as he shouted, "Right now, our Crimson Cherry Army is attacking the city gates of Beining! And we will head straight for the South Gate, determined to retake Beining!"

"Retake Beining City!"

"Retake Beining City!"

"Retake Beining City!"

"..."

Tens of thousands of Shence Army soldiers roared in unison, like thunderclaps shaking the heavens.

After a short rest and replenishment of food, the army set off again.

At the same time, the 150,000-strong allied army of Daqi had just crossed Wanlipo and was rushing desperately toward Beining City.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, showing signs that a blizzard was about to arrive.

Liu Zhizhong was in great pain on horseback; he had never been so exhausted and disheveled as he had been this time.

But Sun Wei was also in a bad mood. He knew that if he couldn't stop the Shence Army this time, he would probably lose this opportunity for the rest of his life.

On the north gate tower of Beining City, the first Shence Army soldier finally charged up, with the cover and sacrifice of several comrades.

He then charged fearlessly into the Jurchen army, creating more opportunities for his comrades.

Zhao Luoying's phoenix eyes were filled with intense killing intent, and her beautiful face showed no emotion whatsoever. She was waiting for the right moment to break through the city gate in one fell swoop.

The Jurchen army was in complete disarray, not because they lacked fighting strength, but because their strength had been greatly reduced after the indulgence of the previous night.

In addition, these people were just transferred from the south city and were not yet familiar with the location of the north city.

These seemingly minor factors combined to put the Jurchen army, who could have easily defended the city with its strong walls, into a deadly predicament.

Most importantly, the Red Cherry Army numbered 30,000, while the Jurchen army dispatched there numbered less than 15,000.

"Go open the city gates, don't worry about me!"

One Red Cherry soldier fought two opponents alone, and his comrades behind him immediately jumped down from the city gate.

But as soon as he landed, seven or eight Jurchen soldiers attacked him together.

"Damn it! I'll make my money if I kill one today, and if I kill two, I'll make a profit. Come on!"

He was as fierce as a mad tiger, completely disregarding the curved blades in the enemy's hands, and charged forward as if his life depended on it.

With his left hand holding a shield high and his right hand wielding a sword, he managed to force the enemy to stay away.

In those few short seconds, more Crimson Cherry Army soldiers arrived.

These men, carrying spears on their backs, didn't even glance at their comrades. Instead, they drew their spears with lightning speed and slammed them hard against the massive door bolt.

"Quickly, stop them! We can't let them open the city gates!" Napa roared frantically.

But more and more Crimson Cherry Army soldiers, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, rushed to the inner city gate, and in an instant, this small area became a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

"Break it for me!"

Unbeknownst to anyone, Zhao Luoying had already stormed into the city, her spear slamming down fiercely.

Finally, after enduring countless fierce attacks from the Crimson Cherry Army, the door bolt, as thick as a bucket, was broken by Zhao Luoying with a single blow.

"Crack..."

The city gate was finally opened a crack, and the other Crimson Cherry Army soldiers who had been waiting below the city for a long time immediately rushed in like madmen.

At that moment, Napa felt utterly hopeless and was plunged into despair.
