To Rule in a Turbulent World

That night, the palace was brightly lit, and the military newspapers went out like flowing water. The Gyeonggi Army went out of the city to dig trenches and set up horse pits. The city was full of soldiers who were erecting defensive facilities. The previous row was lined up, and a huge brazier was lit.You Miao personally led troops to guard the city gate, where a large number of people gathered to leave the city.

"Don't leave!" You Miao shouted angrily towards the city against the cold wind: "No one can leave the city! Give me a bow and arrow!"

The archers on the tower were ready, pointing their arrows at the people below the city.

There was an explosion immediately below, and someone yelled: "If you have the ability, go to the battle and kill the enemy! Who dares to point weapons at the folks!"

You Miao's heart was pounding. He knew that the Tatars had entered the Central Plains, and fleeing the city now would be tantamount to death. Only by staying in the capital could they save their lives, but he couldn't say anything.

The more important point is that Nie Dan is leading the army to fight back. Although Nie Dan doesn't have many men, they are all year-round roaming outside the Great Wall, fighting against the barbarians.King Qin's army from the southern states and counties is coming. As long as they can defend the capital, when the king's army arrives, the city will open the gates and fight out.

What's more, the capital city is the capital of a country. When the previous dynasty established the capital here, a lot of arrangements were made. As long as the guards don't make foolish moves, why would they abandon the city and leave?However, the people in the capital didn't seem to appreciate it, and their clamor became louder and louder.

"Kill him! Kill this traitor!"

"The country will not be the country! The treacherous ministers are doing my apocalypse!" Someone yelled.

You Miao became angry instantly, and suddenly thought of something, spy!There must have been spies instigating chaos. He watched for a moment and found that there was indeed someone shouting at the head of the crowd. There was a scream.

"Don't listen to the rumors of barbarians and spies to confuse the crowd!" You Miao yelled angrily, "Whoever wants to open the city gate must first step over my corpse!"

The crowd fell silent.

"Good job." Zhao Chao's deep voice sounded.

When Zhao Chao came back from outside the city, he happened to meet You Miao standing on the tower.

Zhao Chao opened his red eyes and asked, "Why don't you stay in the palace?"

You Miao was also exhausted, and replied: "The palace sent me for nothing, and even the minister wanted to run away. I was afraid that Li Yan would not be able to hold back, so I came. What are you arguing about today?"

"He wants to mobilize the Gyeonggi Army to escort." Zhao Chao said: "Send my father out."

You Miao: "..."

Zhao Chao: "As soon as Father leaves, the morale of the entire capital will collapse. We cannot let him go."

You Miao hummed, the situation became too fast, the army was defeated overnight, Tang Hui died in battle, and the whole capital fell into panic. Although the news from the front line did not arrive, the common people knew that they were about to lose, what was even more troublesome It is the Tatar spies who sneaked into the capital and are still instigating the people.

Zhao Chao said: "You go to the palace..."

When the two were talking, the evening sun was like blood, and there was a big earthquake in the distance. When they climbed the tower, there was no sound in the city. You Miao and Zhao Chao stopped talking, and saw the dark Tatar army occupying the entire plain and gradually pushing towards the city gate.

"Do you still want to go?" You Miao trembled.

"No need." Zhao Chao said, "Just wait for them to come over."

The Tatar army kept approaching the city gate, and the people in the city vaguely sensed something from the sound of rumbling horseshoes, so they dispersed in a crowd.The Tatar army sent a cavalry to the city gate, holding a parchment, and shouted in Chinese: "The King of Apocalypse accepts the order—"

Zhao Chao's expression turned extremely ugly in an instant, and no one answered on the tower.

The messenger wandered around for a while, then shouted again: "Decree from the Great Emperor of Tartars! Let's open the city and surrender as soon as possible! You can save the city from being slaughtered! If you are stubborn! After breaking the city, I will teach you not to leave the city behind!" "

You Miao: "A Han Chinese?"

Zhao Chao sneered and said, "Lin Jiu, the general of the Zhongji Battalion, probably defected to the enemy, what a shame."

"Don't underestimate the enemy." You Miao whispered: "What should we do now?"

You Miao had read it when she was studying the art of war and national policy with Sun Yu, and she had heard Li Zhifeng mention the peoples outside the Great Wall before, and she knew that the Tatars were the most ruthless and bloodthirsty people.To occupy a village is to slaughter a village, and to attack a city is to slaughter a city. A hundred years ago, the frontier fortress war broke out, and almost all the cities occupied by the Tatars were spared.

"Call your king out!" The messenger shouted again: "If you don't speak again, don't blame the Tatar king for being unkind!"

While speaking, Li Yan hurriedly climbed up the tower and shook his head slightly.You Miao frowned slightly, and Li Yan said, "Stick to it."

Zhao Chao shouted: "Bring my bow and arrow!"

As soon as Zhao Chao spoke, You Miao knew it was going to be bad, and immediately ran down the tower, shouting: "Notify the whole city! The people are all hidden!"

As soon as You Miao gave the order, Zhao Chao bent his bow and set an arrow on the tower, and shot the arrow like a shooting star, immediately shooting the messenger off the horse!In an instant, the Tatar army roared and laughed arrogantly, but no one rushed forward.

Zhao Chao shot and killed the courier who came to persuade him to surrender, and shouted angrily on the city: "If you dare, attack the city!"

"Damn..." Zhao Chao couldn't help trembling with anger, turned his head and said, "When they get closer, let's shoot arrows down from the tower... You Ziqian, You Miao? Where are you?"

The Tatar army retreated like a tide, and the rear formation changed to the front formation to attack, but they did not approach the city. After spreading out, they were distributed into a square formation of nearly 2 people, each divided into two teams.The soldiers in the front team lay down in a uniform movement, with their feet facing the sky, and kicked their crossbows violently, and the soldiers in the back team quickly set up arrows.

Zhao Chao immediately turned around and shouted: "Covering measures!"

At the same time, the commander's shouts of orders were faintly heard in the Tatar army camp, and there was no sound for ten miles around the capital, and the passage of time in the fiery red sunset seemed to stop.

After a few breaths, tens of thousands of crossbow strings buzzed and vibrated at the same time, and ten thousand iron arrows flew up on the ground and shot towards the clouds!

You Miao galloped on the street on horseback, and spread the order to tell people to go home and evacuate as soon as possible. Everything happened in an instant, and the iron arrows of the Tatars flew high into the sky, and then pulled out an arc, covering the The entire capital!Arrows rushed from the sky to the earth, and a rain of arrows fell in the sky, hitting tiles piercing tiles, hitting trees and breaking trees!

There was the sound of arrows raining down everywhere, and the people shouted in panic, there was nowhere to escape, and those who couldn't escape were nailed to the ground with an arrow!At the same time, an arrow flew from the sky and hit the ass of You Miao's mount. You Miao suddenly spun, was thrown into the air, subconsciously hugged her head, and hit the wall on the side of the road.Another arrow smashed the tiles of the roof, crashing gravel fell, and a person rushed to the side, rolled You Miao with his strong arms, and avoided into the house.

"You don't want to die!" Li Yan shouted in You Miao's ear.

You Miao fell to the point of staring, and was dragged into the house by Li Yan, who lifted the crock pot to cover the two of them.

At the same time, a rain of arrows flew towards the palace and shot through the window panes of the Golden Palace. The officials who were discussing the matter shouted in panic. Numerous guards protected the prince and hid behind the pillars. The glazed tiles on the Golden Palace were broken and dusty.
