Chapter 364 A sudden earthquake
"My Lady, be careful..."
Under the Li family's flag, Xifeng, covered in blood, helped up Hui Fei, who was also covered in blood.
Both men had fallen from their horses, suffered many wounds, and were exhausted.
Concubine Hui spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up straight, leaning on her sword: "Don't call me Empress, call me General."
This fight is so exciting!
All the frustrations that had been pent up in the palace over the past few years were released.
But after being a concubine for too long, without training day and night, she couldn't hold on after only half a day of fighting. However, Concubine Hui was not sad at all, she just felt happy.
The flag of Li's army was still flying, and three flag bearers had been replaced. Whenever someone fell, his comrades would take over to keep the flag flying.
The tablets of the Li family's ancestors have also been replaced by different bearers.
The soldiers did it spontaneously without any call.
Everyone drew strength from the flags and tablets, and defended them with their lives.
Concubine Hui seemed to have returned to her childhood, following her parents in the military camp at the border, and seeing the soldiers full of vigor and courage, ready to die.
I never thought that many years later, this scene would be repeated in the splendid capital.
"My dear ancestors, am I, Li Chaoying, okay? Have I not embarrassed you?"
Concubine Hui slashed two more enemies, her vision blurring and her body trembling. She did not stop, determined to fight to the last moment.
She thought that when she died, the Li family flag would continue to fly, and the Daliang warriors would remember the Li family's military spirit. This city could be defended, and this country would never be destroyed.
The blade of the machete in his hand was bent.
Concubine Hui dropped her knife, staggered two steps, and drew her sword.
This is her last weapon.
……
"The King has ordered—"
"Please ask the goddess's messenger to come and meet her!"
"Please welcome the messenger!"
Fengyi Palace.
Outside the palace gate, a loud announcement was heard from the Tartars.
The concubines in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
"My Lady, what are you shouting outside?"
Concubine Qing's face was solemn: "They want me to leave the palace."
"You can't go! I heard that the fighting outside has caused a river of blood. It will be very dangerous if the Queen leaves the palace!" Someone anxiously tried to stop them.
Concubine Qing shook her head: "It's not me who is in danger, it's you."
The coral pendant made her face look even paler. She coughed twice and explained to everyone that the Tartars had great respect for the goddess Lima. Even those who did not believe in God would not dare to easily provoke the messenger of God and incur the wrath of the people.
So even if she left the palace and went to the enemy camp, her life would not be in danger. At most, she would be trapped.
But once she left, everyone in the palace became lambs to be slaughtered by the Tartars.
"This is probably the Empress Dowager's method." Concubine Qing judged.
"Damn old hag! She will definitely not die a good death!" Concubine Yue cursed in hatred.
The concubines also started cursing.
Boom!dong dong!
There was another banging sound at the palace gate.
"Someone is knocking on the door again!" the concubines exclaimed.
Before they could figure out a way to guard the gate, there was a loud bang, and the gate of Fengyi Palace, which had been broken once, was knocked down again.
The tables, chairs, cabinets and other items that were previously piled up behind the door were of little use.
The Tartar soldiers from before were guarding the yard under the orders of Concubine Qing. They immediately stepped forward to stop the other team of enemy soldiers who broke in.
"We will not harm the goddess's messenger. We are only here to invite her respectfully on the king's orders!"
The leading enemy soldier knelt on one knee and saluted Concubine Qing from afar at the palace gate.
"I won't go. If your king is sincere, just let him come to see me." Concubine Qing spoke in foreign language.
These Tartars who broke in were the elite among the foreign soldiers and the commander-in-chief's personal soldiers, and they would not be easily intimidated.
"Emissary, this place is full of southern dogs and the smell is foul. Please follow us and leave quickly!"
Their attitude was respectful but their actions were domineering. They pushed aside the first group of Tartar soldiers and surrounded Concubine Qing.
"I can leave, but you must promise to ensure the safety of these women." Concubine Qing took a step back and negotiated terms.
The other party nodded respectfully: "We will not harm these people, God's Messenger, rest assured."
But Concubine Qing couldn't feel at ease.
Even if the Tartar soldiers didn't harm the concubines, the Queen Mother was still in the palace. Around the Queen Mother, there was a group of imperial guards who had defected to her side.
Who knows what the Queen Mother will do!
Would they even risk fighting the Daliang Imperial Guards to get the Tartar soldiers to promise to protect the concubines? Concubine Qing sighed inwardly. Even if she could get the foreign soldiers to make a promise, the situation could change so quickly, and who knew what the outcome would be?
The Tatar soldiers around her held their swords in their hands and used their cold eyes to force her to leave quickly.
……
"We'll take you out. Tell my lover that we'll see each other in the next life!"
Ma Xiaofeng chopped down a Tartar behind Fei Wan and said something in a hurry.
Xie Weizhou also kicked an enemy away and turned his back to Fei Wan to defend against the enemy. "Sanqiu Lane in the east of the city, Jinxiang Marquis Mansion, help me check if there is anything wrong at home. Let me know when I visit the grave next year!"
Fei Wan took the snatched spear and knocked over an enemy soldier who was trying to launch a sneak attack on Ma Xiaofeng from the side.
"Okay! Then you two have to work harder and get me to the city gate!"
"No problem!" Xie and Ma said in unison.
One on the left and one on the right protected Fei Wan and rushed forward together.
In fact, all three of them understood it in their hearts.
I'm afraid no one can escape today.
The two of them told Fei Wan about her funeral arrangements, but they were just joking and trying to give themselves a little hope.
This place is still one mile away from the city gate, and there are enemies everywhere. How can we get to the city gate?
But none of the three were afraid of anyone.
When I made the hasty decision to assassinate the enemy commander, I was prepared to never return.
"Kill them!"
"They're Southern dogs!"
"Dare to assassinate the king! Chop them into pieces!"
The Tartar soldiers around were shouting and yelling.
Spears and short swords were aimed at the three people.
Xie Weizhou was suddenly shot in the calf, and blood gushed out. He chopped down the Tartar who stabbed him with a gun, then staggered to one knee.
Fei Wan tore off a piece of clothing, squatted down and hurriedly bandaged his wound.
The enemy took the opportunity to surround him, and Ma Xiaofeng was unable to respond and was stabbed.
Fei Wan was also stabbed in the back.
Xie Weizhou jumped up and continued to fight hard.
The three of them helped each other, but they were on the verge of exhaustion and their movements became slower and slower.
Looking at the still distant city walls of Beijing.
During the fierce battle, Fei Wan suddenly had an inexplicable epiphany.
It turns out that death can come at any time.
What about the dreams of those who died suddenly?
Do I have to wait until the next life?
For her, it is her second life.
The sufferings of the previous life and the schemes of this life came to an abrupt end here and now.
Everything will have to wait until the next life to continue.
Will there be an afterlife...
Fei Wan was stabbed in the left arm again, and he staggered, thinking, maybe, maybe not.
……
Boom!
A sound like thunder suddenly rang out nearby.
Sand and stones are flying, and dust is floating.
Fei Wan and his two companions, who were fighting hard, were knocked to the ground along with the surrounding Tartar soldiers.
"Hurry! It's artillery!"
Xie Weizhou was the first to react.
Regardless of the pain all over his body, or the tinnitus and dizziness after the earthquake.
He jumped up staggeringly, grabbed Fei Wan and Ma Xiaofeng and ran away.
Boom!
Boom! !
Loud bangs kept exploding one after another.
The huge enemy camp was in chaos, as if a stone had been thrown into the water.
"They're coming from the city!" Xie Weizhou identified the source of the artillery fire amidst the billowing smoke and dust. He perked up, his eyes wide open. "Is it the Firearms Battalion? Could it be that the Firearms Battalion, abandoned for years, has reopened?! Damn, this is unbelievable! Hahaha, God help me!"
Ma Xiaofeng was pulled by him and fell to the ground.
He got up and yelled at him.
"What the hell! We're about to be bombed to death, why don't you hide quickly! The person who fired the bomb doesn't know that we are still among the enemy!"
Xie Weizhou laughed out loud: "Where can we hide? Just run forward! If we are killed by the explosion, it will be our bad luck. If we survive, we are lucky. There will be more blessings in the future!"
Fei Wan was also filled with strength in an instant.
She had come to understand how energized a person could be when they suddenly saw the light of hope in despair.
"Yes, run to the city gate, life and death are determined by fate!"
The other Tartar soldiers were all shocked and panicked, trying desperately to find ways to avoid the artillery fire.
The three of them just kept moving forward.
Don't hide, don't be afraid.
What else is scary?
Even a fatal situation could produce such a miracle, it must be God’s help!
Just take a step forward!
