You were taken hostage, why pursue the Enemy's Empress?

A mouthful of thick phlegm.

Two bewildered eyes.

Qu Yi was obviously stunned. He never expected that Zhao Yuan, the deputy general who had always admired him, would commit such a treacherous act against him.

Although the Qu, Jing, and Zhao families were not of the same clan, due to their resistance against the Chu royal family, many things were done together. As an elder, he was highly respected by everyone.

But he never expected.

This young man not only kicked him down, but also...

The phlegm covered his eyes.

With a diluted red color of blood.

Qu Yi felt a great sense of humiliation. In the past, he would have definitely scolded these ignorant juniors loudly, but now, looking at Zhao Yuan's angry eyes, he felt a sense of guilt.

But how could he just let it go in front of so many people?

"Outrageous, really..."

Qu Yi stood up, ready to reprimand these people, but feeling their cold gazes, he subconsciously swallowed the words he was about to say.

He wiped the spit from his face with his sleeve and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Yuan, you should prioritize the overall situation. Listen to my orders and take your men back!"

"The overall situation?"

Zhao Yuan was about to laugh, "To hell with the overall situation. At this critical moment, you still try to conceal your selfishness with the overall situation? General Qu, I respect you as a superior. Now, I'll give you two options: either follow us and fight the Qian army to the death, or commit suicide and then we'll fight the Qian army."

Qu Yi: "..."

The generals on the city wall did not speak up for him.

He understood that he had no room to maneuver in this matter.

The battle just now was too far from the city wall, and he didn't know what had happened exactly.

Suicide was impossible.

It was impossible in this lifetime.

But...

He looked at the densely packed Qian army outside the city, and his back couldn't help but feel a chill, subconsciously swallowing a mouthful of spit.

Since defending the city of Dancheng, he had always felt a sense of oppression.

And now, this feeling had reached its peak, to the point where it made him suffocate.

The city gate made of mysterious iron had already been closed.

If it were to open now, the Qian army would definitely rush over like madmen. The more than ten thousand people under the city wall would definitely not be able to retreat, and the city gate might not even be able to close once it was opened.

Ying Wuji glanced coldly at Qu Yi, then arched his hand to the others and said loudly, "Gentlemen, I admire your righteousness. If we fight to the death under the city wall today, even if the entire army is wiped out, I, Ying Wuji, will have no regrets. Gentlemen! Follow me to meet the enemy!"

With that, he turned his horse's head and urged the Red Hare horse to the forefront of the ten thousand strong army.

Behind him, the Chu army quickly formed their battle formation.

In a short moment, the formation had become extremely orderly.

This year.

Was a year when the Chu army was greatly underestimated.

Compared to the Qian army, the direct guards of King Zhou and the Black Armor Legion were simply not worth mentioning.

But that didn't mean that the Chu army was unqualified.

They were just weak.

Not incompetent.

When their cultivation improved and their blood was awakened, they could still be considered elite.

Ying Wuji's lips curled slightly, and this time, the effect was considered achieved.

...

On the other side.

Ying Wuque's face was already twisted to the extreme. Now that Ying Wuji's men were all locked outside the city wall, it was supposed to be the best opportunity for him to take revenge.

Because half of these people were from the Bai family, and the other half were the elite troops given to Ying Wuji by the Chu royal family.

There were many strong individuals.

But no matter how many strong individuals there were, the vast majority of them would not be able to fly onto the city wall.

If the Qian army pressed over, at least eighty percent of them could be wiped out, and the losses of the Bai family would be attributed to Ying Wuji, and the losses of the Chu royal family would also be counted on Ying Wuji's head.

But in this way, there would also be two problems.

First, most of Qian Qi's military exploits were mainly on his head. Even if less than ten thousand elite troops of the Chu royal family were wiped out, it would be difficult to cause any damage to Ying Wuji.

Second, the Bai family had many means of self-preservation, and it was impossible to wipe them all out. It would be quite difficult to kill Ying Wuji under the city wall.

On the contrary, if the Qian army all entered the range of the city wall archers, losing the suppression of the trebuchets against the city wall archers, the Qian army would face several times the pressure, and the losses from forcibly attacking the city would likely be greater than those of the Chu Kingdom.

To fight or not?

Ying Wuque was in extreme turmoil.

He knew that if he didn't fight this time, this major battle would likely come to an end. The five cities in the western border of the Chu Kingdom were all unexpectedly magnificent. There was still hope to tear open a gap before, but now that the Qian Kingdom had lost more than half of its trebuchets, it would be difficult to tear open a gap again.

Although the Chu Kingdom's losses were greater, Ying Wuji's losses were not great, and even relatively speaking, he had a slight advantage over himself. Then, the struggle for resources...

No!

Just now, Ying Wuji didn't hold back at all with the trebuchets. These things are all treasures of the Qian Kingdom.
