Empress Fenghua

Chapter 725
Ruan Mingyue led the army to the city wall, and saw Hua Zhong standing on the edge of the city wall from a distance, her dignified red dress fluttering with the wind, like a crumbling flower.The corner of Ruan Mingyue's mouth twitched into a sneer, and her blue eyes were full of complacency.

Hua Zhong looked up at the sky, the gray sky was blowing with the north wind, "It's going to snow again!"

"Empress, this kind of weather is suitable for defense and not for attack. It's a good omen for us!" Wang Shilun raised the corners of his mouth, and the air with his gray hair fluttering reflected a bit of tough old age.

Hua Zhong looked at him and Su Ningzi beside him, both of them were already showing signs of aging.If it is an ordinary family, such old people may have lived together for several generations and enjoy their old age, but they still follow themselves and work hard for the country.Hua Zhong choked up slightly, bowing his head as a salute, "My lords, it's hard for you to follow me until the last moment. I'm not a good emperor, nor a good woman. Although I have won the supreme status of women in this world, in the end But she can only be an extremely mediocre woman. My thoughts have always been so simple, and today, I only want to wait for one person!"

Su Ningzi glanced at Wang Shilun, Wang Shilun smiled slightly, "The emperor is the emperor first, he can be said to be the supreme woman, and he is capable of what others can't, becoming the eternal empress. This kind of arrogance is already unparalleled, but now that the soldiers are in the city, they have I am used to looking at the demeanor of the autumn moon and the spring breeze. I think this world is nothing more than this! Your Majesty, you don’t need to think too much about it, even if this unrivaled tale ends in withering, it can be regarded as hearty!"

Su Ningzi also smiled in relief, "Don't worry, your majesty, even if Ruan Mingyue uses up all of Ruan Mingyue's troops today, they will not be able to break through the walls of Taihe City!"

"Thank you, my lords!" Hua Zhong looked at the flags flying in the distance with a bleak smile, feeling a little chill in his heart...

Ruan Mingyue stood not far from the city wall, and sneered, "Empress, is it a farewell to dress so well today? The last gift was originally a game of self-intoxication, but this king will make you dream forever. Live forever A happy dream may be the best for you!"

"You don't need to worry about the King of Southern Border. I have my own arrangements, and I also believe that there is a decree in the dark. What should be mine is mine, and what should not be yours will definitely not be yours!" Hua Zhong looked at Sharp, "The king of Nanjiang rushed to attack Taihe City before Emperor Ling came, and his heart was clearly revealed. But I don't know if the king of Nanjiang has ever thought about it. If I don't let you attack Taihe City today, you will be defeated in the future." Once Emperor Ling arrives, what should you do?"

Ruan Mingyue frowned slightly, "This doesn't seem to be something the empress can control. In the current situation, the empress doesn't have the ability to defend Taihe City!"

Hua Zhong smiled brightly, "The king of Nanjiang is actually very clear in his heart, if I want to defend Taihe City, no one can attack!" Hua Zhong stretched out his hand and squeezed his palm, "King of Nanjiang, I dare to say it, naturally Just reach out!"

Ruan Mingyue was silent for a while, his blue eyes were dignified and sharp, his heart trembled a little, it was a feeling he hadn't seen for a long time.He once said that if Ning Huazhong wanted to protect a city, no one would be able to defeat him.But what is different is that she has too many entanglements and reluctance in her heart, which gives others an opportunity to take advantage of.But today, it is not her who has a loophole in her heart, but herself!

Ruan Mingyue raised her arm and waved vigorously, only to see the command flag behind her shake a few times, and then some soldiers rushed up, but when she walked in, she found that the city wall was covered with a thin layer of ice, So smooth!
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, and tried to lean the ladder against the city wall, but it kept swaying from side to side.As soon as they climbed to the middle, soldiers on the city wall poured scalding hot water down, causing them to roll down...

Ruan Mingyue didn't understand the reason, but felt that the soldiers who attacked the city seemed to be struggling. "Then what happened?"

Amo frowned, "Your Majesty, it seems that the city wall is very slippery!" Amo turned his head and asked the former expedition troops who had just returned, his face turned pale, "Your Majesty, the Empress froze a layer of ice on the city wall. Can't go up!"

"Bing?" Ruan Mingyue couldn't help but took a deep breath, such a cleverness seemed easy, but no one would use it on it, it was a success for Hua Chong!Ruan Mingyue snorted coldly, "Then fire the rockets and set up firewood to burn! I don't believe that the ice won't melt!"

"Yes!"

Wang Shilun frowned as he watched the enemy army move a large amount of firewood to pile up beside the city wall, "Empress, they want to light a fire to melt the ice, what should we do?"

Hua Chong's eyes shivered slightly, and he snorted coldly, "Then you all go prepare water to wet the firewood, and see how he can start a fire in this cold winter!"

"Yes!"

Before Ruan Mingyue gave the order to light the fire, the water on the city wall poured down like a waterfall, drenching the firewood.The soldiers were sweating profusely and reported repeatedly, "Your Majesty, the firewood has all been soaked by the enemy, and some even moved the ice. Let alone lighting the fire, it is difficult to separate the firewood now!"

Amo sighed, "Your Majesty, we shot ourselves in the foot with a rock!"

Looking at the firewood piled up under the city wall, it is so dense that it is not only impossible to go up, but it is also difficult to get close.Ruan Mingyue couldn't help being furious, the weather was obviously not good for her.

"It's about to snow, if you can't think of a way to attack the city, I'm afraid..." Amo frowned, and glanced cautiously at Ruan Mingyue, "I'm afraid I will return without success today! "

"But Emperor Tianling is coming soon. If we give up today, it is obviously impossible to march tomorrow!" Ruan Mingyue glared at Hua Chong, "No matter what, we must capture Taihe City today!"

Ruan Mingyue waved her arm vigorously, and thousands of flames shot up into the sky behind her, all of which were stuck on the city wall.Although the flames were weak, but with so many people and so much strength, they broke through quite a few layers of ice.There were also many Dingguo soldiers whose clothes were burning, and they all rubbed against the ice in a panic.

Hua Zhong frowned, "All retreat and prepare for the second defense!"

"Yes!"

After a while, all the soldiers on the city wall disappeared, only sparse corpses burning on the city wall, melting some ice.

Ruan Mingyue sneered, "Start the siege!"

"Yes!"

This time, the fire was so bright that it seemed to illuminate the gray sky of the entire Taihe City.Hua Zhong pulled out the Drizzle Sword to join the battle, and all the soldiers who managed to climb up were killed by her sword.Ruan Mingyue also sent people to attack the city gate at the same time, hitting it hard with big wooden stakes.The scene was in a mess, and the sound of war drums sounded in Hua Zhong's ears...

"Empress, the city gate is already crumbling, if it takes a while, it will definitely be breached!"

"Where are Lord Wang and Lord Su?"

"The two adults are preparing for the second defense, and I'm afraid they won't be able to take care of it for a while. I didn't expect the enemy to move so fast!"

Hua Zhong couldn't help frowning, "It seems that I still underestimated Ruan Mingyue's strength."

Hua Zhong and Ruan Mingyue looked at each other, a cold light flashed in Ruan Mingyue's green eyes, with a dangerous smile on the corner of her mouth, she flew up instantly and climbed towards the city wall.

There were already ropes hanging from the soldiers who attacked the city wall, and he flew a few steps and stood in front of Hua Zhong.The armor glowed coldly, and his fair cheeks looked even weirder under the silver helmet.

"Empress, it seems that your strategy is nothing more than this. Just now you said that the king of Japan will definitely not be able to capture this city, but now it seems that the ending may be rewritten!" Ruan Mingyue sneered, "What do you think? But What else do you wish for?"

Hua Zhong snorted coldly, "Of course! My only wish is not to kill you." Hua Zhong took a sword flower, "Ruan Mingyue, the ever-changing battlefield is like the ups and downs of life. Sometimes you seem to be reliable. Things are often unreliable, and sometimes what seems real is often unreal. Until the last moment, no one knows how it will end!"

"Oh? Really?" Ruan Mingyue raised the corners of her mouth and smiled evilly, "Then I want to see if the ending is as illusory as you said, or as the outcome in my eyes is determined!"

Ruan Mingyue raised the sword and flew over. Huazhong's Xiaoyu sword was ready to receive the move, but before it touched his sword, it emitted a strong light, and neither of them opened their eyes.

Hua Zhong was extremely shocked, he had never seen Xiao Yujian like this before, only to see Ruan Mingyue's sword crackling and shattering all over the place.Ruan Mingyue frowned, clutching her chest in pain, a stream of bright red blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth, winding like a bug!
"Who? What is this?" Ruan Mingyue clenched her fists, exposing the veins on her forehead, "This, this is not the power of the Drizzle Sword, definitely not..."
