Han Ruzi had no choice. The first army loyal to him had arrived at the city, and came to save the emperor. He could not stand by death. Moreover, the right wise king of the Xiongnu would make excuses to attack the city no matter what. Jincheng might as well welcome reinforcements to defend together.

If there is still a chance to defend.

Fan Chuanshan joined forces with reinforcements and was also surrounded by the Huns.

In order to prevent the Chu army from fighting and retreating, the Huns changed their usual cavalry and shooting style. Relying on the large number of people and powerful people, they rushed into the Chu army from all directions and started a melee, especially the soldiers of Fuyu Kingdom, who specialized in attacking near the city gate and would rather die than retreat.

The Chu army could no longer close the city gates, and soldiers were everywhere. The people behind took a step back and could take two steps forward. If they retreated again, they would lead the enemy in.

At this time, no matter how many strategies are, they are useless. They can only stand it. If they want to retreat and advance, they must fight the Huns' offensive slightly weak, so that the Chu army will have the chance to retreat to the city.

Han Ruzi personally beat drums at the top of the city to supervise the battle. All the soldiers, regardless of their origins, lined up inside the city gate and rushed outwards. The temporary soldiers who were originally only responsible for carrying soil and stones also received weapons, regardless of whether they could use them or not, they didn't care about the formation of the team, and they all joined the battle.

Civil officials held flags on the city, while guards went down to the city to wait for battle.

Even King Donghai and Cui Teng came to the street, stood with Yiwei soldiers, holding long spears, and moved forward little by little with the team. The Huns were getting closer and closer to the city gate, and the sound of drums on the top of the city was louder and the sound of killing outside the city was shaken. The soldiers on the street were densely filled with soldiers, and almost no one spoke, only the supervisors kept shouting loudly.

"Go forward! Go forward! Once the city is broken, everyone will be killed by the Huns! Protect Your Majesty! Protect Jincheng! Protect yourself!"

King Donghai just escaped from the Youxian King by chance. He was so scared of the Huns that he was dying, so he was relieved..."

Cui Teng was very excited. He took the initiative to ask for the battle. After him, King Donghai had to express his opinion. As a result, the emperor immediately agreed and was already impatient. He wanted to step outside the city. "Everyone has to participate in the battle. When we go out, these generals will follow."

King Donghai made a strange sound. Well, he always felt that he should not participate in the war as his own, but he couldn't say such words, especially when facing Cui Teng, "You are the only son left in the Cui family."

"Not afraid, my elder brother has a son, I will die without regrets."

King Donghai looked at Cui Teng in surprise. He thought he took the initiative to ask for the battle just to please the emperor, but he didn't expect that he was really here, not like the playboy I knew before.

"If you have to die, don't you want to die a little heroic? Don't you want to die for an emperor worth following?" Cui Teng glanced at the top of the city and couldn't see the emperor from here, but his eyes still showed respect, and suddenly said to King Donghai: "Go forward with me."

"Ah?" King Donghai wanted to nail it to the ground, but was pushed by the people behind him before he could move forward half a step.

Cui Teng put it in Donghai King's ear: "Yiwei are all embroidered pillows, which are not useful. Instead of entering the battlefield with them, it is better to find those soldiers who are really good at fighting."

The soldiers of Yigu were all very tall, but they were used to holding the flying flags and wooden spears, and suddenly replaced them with heavy real swords and guns. They were indeed a little uncomfortable.

Cui Teng squeezed forward, and Donghai King looked around and didn't want to move, but he felt that Cui Teng was right. Since he was going to the battlefield, it should be safer to stand with experienced veterans.

After thinking for a while, hesitating for a while, and encouraging himself, Cui Teng's figure had disappeared, and King Donghai finally took a step forward and pushed forward.

It was difficult at the beginning. Not only did it squeeze out a group of tall guards, but it also had to be careful of the shaking swords and guns. However, after a few steps, someone began to make way for him.

Yiwei recognized King Donghai and knew that he was the emperor's only brother and respected him for his bravery.

Someone nodded to the King of Tokai, and the King of Tokai squeezed out a smile awkwardly. At this time, he could no longer change his mind and could only move forward.

Not long after, the people in front not only gave way, but also reached out to pull him and pushed him, hoping that King Donghai would enter the battlefield as soon as possible.

The soldiers made such a move with reverence, but King Donghai just wanted to curse people, especially Cui Teng. This guy was squeezed out, maybe he was still behind him.

"Good!" someone praised.

"Why don't you go forward with me?" Donghai King replied in his heart, but he still smiled on his face. He didn't want to laugh, but the smile was already stiff and he couldn't take it back even if he wanted to.

"A good man should die in the battlefield!" someone shouted again.

"You go, I would rather be a eunuch." Donghai Wang replied secretly, his legs were numb and he couldn't help but move forward.

"Protect Your Majesty to the death!"

"The emperor should protect everyone." King Donghai quietly retorted, walked into the city gate hole, his eyes turned dark, and he quickly adapted. Looking out, he could already see the battlefield and the soldiers covered in blood...

He didn't want to leave anymore, and he didn't want to take a single step.

The city gate was filled with soldiers about to enter the battlefield. Dozens of officers held long shields and applied pressure from both sides, so they could not retreat.

"I am Donghai..." As soon as I shouted half a sentence, all the soldiers in the door hole suddenly shouted at the same time, and then rushed out. Donghai King had no choice at all. His identity was meaningless at this time, and it was not as useful as the spear in his hand.

A team of Fuyu soldiers rushed to the bridge, waved heavy axes and hammers, and swept left and right frantically, invincible.

Donghai King didn't see it at first, but his eyes suddenly lit up. The person in front of him had gone somewhere. He raised his head and saw the fierce enemy, and was stunned. There was only one thought left in his mind: Cui Teng, a bastard, is lying! Who said that the veterans are safer?

As a clan of the royal family, King Donghai also learned the art of using guns, but at this time he could not use it at all. He stared at a big man rushing over, not hiding or avoiding.

A heavy hammer swept over and a soldier next to him raised his shield to block it.

Donghai King knew nothing, and only felt a buzzing sound in his ears, then it flew up, because he saw the sky without looking up, turned around quickly, and saw the broken bridge railing. He thought he was going to fall into the river and drowned, but when he thought he was soft when he landed, it turned out that one side of the river was already full of corpses.

Just as King Donghai was about to call for help, someone fell down and hit King Donghai's head, he fainted.

At the top of Jincheng City, the drum skin was broken with a bang.

Han Ruzi took two steps back, gasped and his arms were sore and numb, but he didn't want to stop, nor did he want others to beat the drums. He had to let the soldiers fighting bloodyly under the city know that the emperor was behind them and did not hide in the deep courtyard.

“Change the drum!”

There were spare drums in the city gate tower, and the guards immediately carried them. The eunuch had moved the broken drum away. After the guards set the drums, they knelt down together.

Han Ruzi nodded. He didn't need close protection now. He looked at Meng E alone. She said nothing. She stood with the guards and had her sword unsheathed.

More than thirty guards went downstairs to prepare for the battle. Han Ruzi turned his head and took a look. There were only a small number of eunuchs and dozens of officials left behind him. These people were too weak in combat, so it was useless to send them down. It was better to hold the flag here.

But after the guards left, many officials also knelt down. Han Ruzi was still hesitating. One official said: "Your Majesty, the people in the city are about to participate in the war. As officials of herders, we should be the first for the people."

Han Ruzi nodded, "Take care, I will never leave the city."

The eunuchs also asked for a fight, but the officials did not allow it. "Your Majesty must have someone holding a flag."

Dong, Dong, Dong...

Han Ruzi continued to beat the drums, and there were not many people around him. He did not see the battle on the bridge, but his eyes were looking into the distance and observing the situation on the entire battlefield.

The situation was not good, the Chu army was not defeated, but the Huns were not tired either, one after another, endless, and more troops were parked outside the battlefield and ready to join the battle at any time.

The Right Xian King finally got this opportunity and was determined to win.

Han Ruzi had only one thought: he must not retreat. Retreat at this time will cause the morale of the Chu army to be dispersed and he will not be able to get rid of the enemy troops outside the city.

Time passed little by little, and the battle still showed no sign of ending. The two eunuchs found a drum from other places to set up for use. The others, including Liu Jie, the chief of the Central Secretary, stood on both sides of the emperor with flags, and had the ambition to die.

This is a battle that requires miracles, but miracles will only be born in perseverance.

Zhang Youcai was the first to see the "miracle", reached out and screamed: "Look! That's...that's..."

That was a Chu army.

After Cai Xinghai and Chao Hua led their troops to leave, Feng Shili hesitated for a long time and finally decided to lead troops to follow him to avoid giving up the excuse of not saving him. However, he walked very slowly and sent scouts to explore the way forward. Once the Huns ambushed, they would retreat immediately.

Therefore, when this Chu army arrived in Jincheng, the battle had been going on for a long time.

Feng Shili still did not dare to participate in the war at the beginning. He felt that Jincheng was about to fall, so he might as well retain some strength for the Great Chu. However, the battle was in a stalemate and it was not over yet. All the generals under his command came to ask for the battle. Feng Shili could no longer sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and finally ordered an attack.

His order was very clear, not to participate in the war, but to attack the Huns on the periphery.

Feng Shili, who was once captured by the Huns, knew the terror of the enemy. With too few troops, he would never want to fight against him in the open area outside the city.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that he could only do one thing: to attract the Huns and give the Chu army a chance to retreat to the city to protect themselves.

His decision saved everyone.

The Huns were too eager to break through Jincheng and ignored the external defense. Another Chu army suddenly appeared. They were all shocked. The Right Xianwang thought he was surrounded by counter-encirclement and immediately ordered the entire army to turn to the newly arrived Chu army.

Once the Hun soldiers who were fighting were unable to get support, they soon retreated, and the Chu army finally got a chance to retreat.

Han Ruzi stopped beating the drums and observed for a moment, confirming that the new Chu army had just lured the Huns to retreat and would not rush to Jincheng, and immediately called the gold and retreated.

He didn't know who the Chu army general was, but he was very grateful to him.

The Chu army was retreating into the city, leaving countless corpses outside the city. Han Ruzi stood at the top of the city, feeling deeply tired and anxious. If the Right Xian King did not eliminate it, Jincheng would not be able to hold on for long. (To be continued.)8
