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

In Shanhe City.

"Fellow villagers, Shanhe City has been given to the barbarians as a dowry by the Empress, and the barbarians will soon be entering the city."

"We all have a very good relationship with everyone here, and we won't let you stay here and lose your lives in vain at a time like this."

"Everyone, come with us!"

Guerrilla General Sun Xiang stood on a high place and shouted.

He was ordered by Ren Tianye to lead a thousand men to Shanhe City to pick up the people. With Lu Qing's order, the families of the Eight Hundred Army soldiers were easily gathered together.

You can set off anytime.

But the families of the Eight Hundred Army soldiers lived together with many neighbors, so this movement caused a great stir.

These were all neighbors who had gotten along well in the past and had taken care of each other, so Sun Xiang naturally didn't want to keep them here.

On his way here, he had already seen the vanguard of the barbarian cavalry in the distance, and he could be certain that the barbarians would return to Shanhe City in the next few days.

He knew all too well how ruthless the barbarians were to the Yu people, so he wanted to take these villagers back to Yunji City to rebel against the Empress.

Most of the villagers looked grateful.

He quickly packed a few things and set off with Sun Xiang.

After all, the massacre of their "god" Red Beacon Army was still fresh in their minds. If they didn't leave now, when would they?

Are we really waiting for the barbarians to massacre the city?

However, there were always some people in the crowd who strongly disagreed.

The rice shop owner immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't believe these people. We already know about the barbarians entering the city."

"That's because His Majesty is going to marry the third prince of the barbarians, which is why His Majesty gave Shanhe City to the barbarians."

"This news has been circulating in the city for days, everyone knows it, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"From now on, the barbarians and we Yu people are one family. We'll live in peace from now on. Why are you running away?"

"Why are you running?"

"Abandoning family, friends, and relatives, to run away to a Cloud Ridge City where there is no one you know at all?"

"Hmph, you can leave if you want, I'm not leaving!"

The rice shop owner's shout made many of the already hesitant people even more indecisive.

This made Sun Xiang a little anxious.

They were all neighbors before, and when the Red Beacon Army was around, they received a lot of help from them. Now, they just watched helplessly as the Red Beacon Army fell into the hands of the barbarians because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

Can those barbarians really live in peace with the Yu people?

Can centuries of hatred be wiped away in a grand wedding?

How is that possible!

He was about to persuade him again, but just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered General Ren Tianye's instructions before he left.

"We must act swiftly and decisively, avoiding unnecessary disputes. Bringing the eight hundred soldiers and their families back is our top priority!"

Sun Xiang shuddered, forcibly swallowing back the words of persuasion he was about to say, and said, "Fine, if you don't want to leave, then don't leave."

"Those who don't want to leave can stay."

"The rest of you who are willing to follow me, set off immediately after half an incense stick's time. If there is any delay, my army will not wait for you!"

After gritting his teeth and saying these words, Sun Xiang felt sweating profusely all over his body.

Because he knew all too well that his words might cost many innocent lives, and he didn't care if the dead were barbarians or strangers.

Unfortunately, it was the villagers who were going to die.

He is a very kind person who has lived in the same place with me for more than ten years and helped each other!

The unbearable feeling in my heart was boiling like the sea.

At this moment, the image of General Ren Tianye involuntarily came to mind.

"When we raised an army of 800, the situation we faced was a hundred times more severe than it is now, and the psychological struggles and torment we endured were far more intense."

"The general was able to kill Zhang, the adjutant, without hesitation in a very short time, and instantly unite eight hundred men into one force."

"As expected, the general is indeed the general."

"It's something I can't compare to."

"It would be quite good to be a guerrilla general under the Great General."

Sun Xiang's mind was racing. When the appointed time arrived, he immediately suppressed the overwhelming pressure in his heart and left with his men.

They had just led nearly 10,000 people out of the city when they saw the vanguard of the barbarians riding horses and patrolling around Shanhe City.

Clearly, they had already made Shanhe City their territory.

Sun Xiang kept Ren Tianye's instructions firmly in mind and led his men away carefully without alerting anyone.

Fortunately, there weren't many barbarians outside Shanhe City, and the surveillance wasn't too tight, allowing him and his men to escape from Shanhe City smoothly.

However, before they had gone a mile, the soldiers behind them quickly reported: "General Sun, barbarians are catching up with us."

"Damn it, we still got caught."

Sun Xiang's face hardened, and he immediately ordered, "Bring out five hundred soldiers to block these barbarians."

Sun Xiang had served in the army for over a decade, and his intimidating aura came from the barbarians. Facing them, he was fearless and showed no hesitation.

He immediately led five hundred men to the back of the column, ordered his soldiers to lie in ambush on both sides, and continued to urge everyone to move forward quickly.

The nearly 10,000 people had just hurriedly left when more than a hundred barbarians appeared behind them.

"Damn it, just over a hundred barbarians, and they dare to chase after tens of thousands of us?"

I might as well just stay on my horse and not move.

Waiting for those barbarians to come forward.

When the barbarians rushed past and saw Sun Xiang, and the rolling crowd in front of him, they all broke into excited laughter.

"They're all two-legged sheep!"

"Kill these two-legged sheep to celebrate the Third Prince's wedding!"

"Looks like they escaped from Shanhe City. Hmph, Shanhe City is our territory. Anyone who dares to run away from our territory deserves to die!"

……

Almost instantly, the hundred-plus barbarians drew their bows and nocked arrows, charging towards them.

Sun Xiang charged head-on.

The soldiers who had just been lying in ambush on both sides rushed out from both sides and attacked the more than one hundred barbarians who had fallen into the encirclement.

In an instant, the sounds of battle shook the heavens and the earth.

Although these barbarians were all strong, Sun Xiang was a veteran general who had been killing barbarians for a long time. Their numbers were more than five times theirs, and they had surrounded them like dumplings, making the killing quick and easy.

Before long, these clamoring barbarians all fell off their horses.

However, a few barbarians managed to break through the encirclement. Although they were all eventually killed, they scattered the fleeing crowd.

Sun Xiang had served with the Chifeng Army and had been tasked with escorting the people of Dayu, so he had considerable experience in handling such matters.

However, at that time, when facing the people of Dayu they were escorting, the Chifeng Army would always rather die in battle than abandon any Dayu citizen who had fallen behind.

But given the current situation...

Sun Xiang was conflicted.

The death of these hundred-odd barbarians will surely alert the main barbarian force. If they are delayed any longer, and the main barbarian force catches up, their thousand soldiers will likely all perish here.

Ren Tianye's words of advice involuntarily came to mind again!

Immediately, gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Everyone, speed up! Don't worry about those who get separated and can't be found!"

After saying that, he spurred his horse to organize the crowd to escape quickly.

Before the horse could turn its head, a young man who stumbled and rushed over grabbed the reins.

"No, we can't leave!"

"We need to wait, we need to wait."

The young man's face was filled with anxiety: "My sweetheart has been separated from me, and I haven't found her yet."

"None of you are allowed to leave!"

"We all have to wait for her."
