The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Cloud Ridge City!

Sun Xiang, who had not slept for several days, had bloodshot eyes, but his spirits were extremely high, showing a powerful energy that came from being forced into it.

All because the barbarians beneath Yunji City were too insane.

They adopted a completely reckless attitude.

They were desperate to attack Yunji City.

Their people, wave after wave, have been attacking for several days. They even take advantage of the extremely unfavorable conditions for the attackers at night.

This put immense pressure on Sun Xiang.

However, it was precisely under these circumstances that Sun Xiang displayed extraordinary courage.

With only 7,000 men in the city, relying on the geographical advantage of Yunji City, we will hold out to the death!

"Damn it, even if I have to fight to the death, I won't let these barbarians advance an inch, you bastards!"

Sun Xiang cursed angrily.

The main problem was the barbarian siege tactics, which were extremely egregious.

In addition to the usual methods of attacking cities, they also captured many civilians from all directions and used these ordinary people from the northern frontier as human shields.

They simply don't treat the people of Yu like human beings.

"General Sun Xiang..."

A man rushed over from the side; it was Su Hong from the Su family: "I have just taken stock of the warehouses. With the money and grain in Yunji City, we can last for a while longer without any problem."

"I have mobilized all the able-bodied men, women, children and the elderly in Yunji City."

"These barbarians are so cruel and inhumane. If the city falls, we will all die. We might as well fight them to the death."

Su Hong's face also turned fierce.

Originally, while he was worried about the attack on Yunji City, he was also secretly pleased, because once Yunji City was attacked, everyone would need to work together.

In situations like this, a local strongman like him can come in handy.

In fact, that's exactly what he did.

These days, I've been working hard, contributing my strength to the defense of the city, whether it's raising money and food, mobilizing soldiers, or running around doing other things.

They stepped forward and provided invaluable assistance when Sun Xiang needed help the most.

He earned some credit for himself.

But as the barbarians' attacks on the city became increasingly fierce, his mentality gradually changed. Looking at the fierce and cruel barbarians, his pride as a Yu person surged more and more intensely.

Barbarians, those bastards.

Before, when the Red Beacon Army was still around, they were still able to suppress and beat the enemy, and they were still human. Now, they are completely worthless.

His temper was also flared up.

This battle, fought so fiercely, was not only for the Su family, for himself, but also for him as a member of the Yu family!

"Okay, thank you for your trouble!"

Sun Xiang showed a friendly expression.

He patted Su Hong on the shoulder.

Sun Xiang didn't have much affection for Su Hong or the Su family before. He just thought the Su family was outrageous, daring to oppose the General time and time again, and deserved to die.

But during this defense of the city, Su Hong helped him with a lot of things at the crucial moment. It can be said that if it weren't for Su Hong's help, Yunji City would not have been so intact.

My gratitude to Su Hong comes from the bottom of my heart.

He said, "After this matter is over, I will personally plead with the General on behalf of your Su family."

"Regardless of what happened before, in this battle, you and I, Sun Xiang, will fight side by side. You are my brother, my friend!"

"All that happened before was a misunderstanding on my part, Sun Xiang."

"Afterwards, I, Sun Xiang, will definitely report to the General and explain your achievements."

"The general is a kind man and will certainly not treat you poorly."

At this moment, a strong wind howled above Yunji City, and the bloody aura surging from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood below the city was blown all to his nose. Su Hong unconsciously took a breath.

It choked him so much that he wanted to cry.

Then, tears welled up in my eyes.

He had tried so hard to hear this before, but all his efforts were in vain, only to have his family members repeatedly act recklessly.

He collapsed, helpless, and tried everything, but things only got worse.

just now……

Did he finally hear those words?

Sun Xiang seemed to have seen through his thoughts, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, offering a few words of comfort. However, because a new round of attacks by the barbarians had begun, he dared not delay and went to command the operation himself.

Su Hong was also a determined person. He quickly wiped away his tears and followed resolutely.

His hair was turning white, and he was half-crippled, but he could still support the Su family!

……

Below the city walls, inside the camp.

The barbarian king Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince personally supervised the battle.

Both of them looked rather unwell.

The geographical location of Yunji City determined that it was the throat of their conquest of the northern frontier, like a dagger stuck in their neck.

We must take it down.

The Empress's decree was not taken down.

They came in person.

As a result... the energy unleashed by Yunji City was beyond imagination, almost comparable to the energy released during the previous attack on Shanhe City, which was defended by the Chifeng Army.

They tried every method imaginable.

But this Cloud Ridge City is not missing a single corner.

Yunji City is only the first step in the invasion of the northern frontier. Why is this first step so difficult?

"Father!"

At this moment, the eldest prince gritted his teeth and said, "Let me go."

"Your subject will personally lead the troops to attack the city."

"This tiny Cloudridge City shouldn't have held off my barbarian army for so long!"

Tuoba Ashina hesitated.

Leading troops to attack a city personally will naturally boost morale.

But it's too dangerous.

The eldest prince is his chosen successor.

Otherwise, this time they wouldn't have made an excuse, saying that Tuoba Xiangtai was incompetent and only allowed him to guard Shanhe City, without giving him the credit for taking Yunji City.

His heart still leaned towards the eldest prince.

But right now...

There's really no other way.

With a determined look, he said, "Alright, boss, it's up to you now."

"No matter what, we must take Yunji City today. If we can't take Yunji City, we'll have to change our strategy."

When Tuoba Ashina spoke of changing the strategy, he meant adjusting the barbarian tribes' strategy towards Dayu. Whether to occupy the northern border or to march south and capture the dragon, the eldest prince knew very well.

His expression turned serious, and he said, "Father, don't worry."

"If we fail to take Yunji City today, I'll offer my head as a reward!"

After receiving Tuoba Ashina's approval, the eldest prince immediately mobilized his personal guards, preparing to launch a thunderous attack.

Just then, a light cavalryman came galloping by.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A large army is attacking Shanhe City."

"What?" Tuoba Ashina's expression changed. "Whose army?"

"It's impossible to tell them apart, but judging from their clothing, it's extremely mixed, with some in border guard uniforms and others in civilian clothes. There are a lot of them, probably more than twenty!"

"Two hundred thousand?"

Tuoba Ashina and the eldest prince were both shocked.

Wasn't the border army in the north disbanded long ago? This army of 200,000 poured out from there!

Tuoba Ashina quickly asked, "How is Shanhe City?"

"Those people are too fierce. The Third Prince can't hold on any longer. One section of the city wall has breached, so he sent me to request Your Majesty's reinforcements!"

Tuoba Ashina instantly flew into a rage: "Useless!"

The eldest prince also said angrily, "The third prince is indeed useless. Shanhe City is known as the most powerful city in the Northern Frontier, and he couldn't even hold it for such a short time?"

"Useless trash!"
