After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 217 If this continues, I can’t stand it anymore

Zhou Yichen insisted on going to the North Gate with Chu Xi, but Chu Xi couldn't persuade him. The sound of fighting at the North Gate seemed... so close that she felt it was imminent.

There was really no time to delay any further, so he could only turn around and look at Jiang Zhenyao again, "Everything here is left to you."

Jiang Zhenyao rarely smiled frivolously, but nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I'm here. As long as I'm still alive, I will never let the South Gate be breached."

Chu Xi nodded, she believed in Jiang Zhenyao's determination.

Jiang Zhenyao's temperament and ideas were rebellious and unconventional in this era.

But for Chu Xi, who has received education on gender equality for more than 20 years, there is nothing wrong with this.

Just as she said to others, some women are so outstanding that even men can't catch up with them!

So what if I'm a heretic?

She believed that even if Chu Jiang, the original owner of this body, was still alive, he would look at Jiang Zhenyao differently.

Because the original owner was able to get to this point by being a man, while Jiang Zhenyao has truly gained the respect and attention of many people as a woman.

She is the woman who is truly awakened in the truest sense of the word. She does not need any identity transformation and can be her true and complete self!

She told everyone calmly and nonchalantly that she was a woman, a rebellious person, and she did things that men thought women could not do!

Jiang Zhenyao is here.

Chu Xi did not stop at the South Gate again and turned around and left decisively.

Before Zhou Yichen left, his eyes swept across Jiang Zhenyao calmly. This time, there was no scrutiny or complicated emotions in his eyes...

All he had was the seriousness of delivering an important task, and the gratitude hidden in his eyes.

As the saying goes, All under heaven belongs to the king, and all within the four seas are the king's subjects. As a descendant of the royal family, protecting the land of the Great Zhou should have been his responsibility, but now this important task has been handed over to a woman.

Zhou Yichen did not deny that before today, his inherent impression of women was influenced by the epitome of this era, but after this incident, he sincerely felt that Qi Bai's idea was correct.

What men can do, women can do too!

It was prejudice and stereotypes that blinded his eyes, causing him to have preconceived ideas about the definition of women. This is unfair to some women whose ideas can break free from worldly constraints.

As a true emperor, one must have a kind heart that cares about the lives and deaths of the people of the world, and also have a broad mind that is special and can tolerate everything and transcend the mundane world.

He said nothing, but his deep eyes revealed a hint of a wavering change of mood.

This made Jiang Zhenyao, who had vaguely sensed Zhou Yichen's emotional changes, smile sincerely and watch the two of them leave.

Jiang Zhenyao clasped her fists. She had never confined herself to a gender identity circle and was used to doing whatever was comfortable for her.

"Qibai, take care, Your Highness. I hope you two can return safely."

These words were spoken lightly, but they came from the heart.

Chu Xi and Zhou Yichen heard it, but they both chose to quickly walk down the city wall without looking back.

She did not bring other soldiers with her, but she and Zhou Yichen rode their horses straight towards the north gate.

If the North Gate cannot be taken in time, it is only a matter of time before the troops are dispersed and attacking from multiple directions.

Therefore, she never thought of bringing others to the North Gate for support. If any gate in the city wall was lost, then no matter how well the other three gates were defended, it would be useless!

The loss of a gate is like a broken dam, which will allow countless floods to rush into the city. It will not be so easy to block it again!

-

North Gate.

Han Yaojun can be said to have been through many battles. After all, he was promoted to a general based on his military merits, and his position as a general was well-deserved.

However, this time, the sneak attack launched by the defenders of Xianyang City on Xi'an came too sudden and caught everyone off guard.

Both the food and fodder in the city and the reserve storage were far from enough and extremely empty.

Qi Jianshu, who was standing on the city wall, discovered that Han Yaojun was directing archers to target the team attacking the wall, which not only prevented the team from moving forward but also caused heavy casualties.

Although most of these people are soldiers of the Great Zhou, if they continue like this, not to mention taking down the city of Xi'an, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect the tens of thousands of people behind them.

You know, he had signed a military order in front of the Fifth Prince, promising to take over Xi'an City.

If we continue to delay like this, even if the Great Zhou is torn apart and there is internal discord, with Han Yaojun here, the Han family will never allow him to get into trouble here. If reinforcements from the Great Zhou arrive by then...

Not only did he get nothing from this trip, but he also lost the Fifth Prince's men in vain.

Because of the military order he had signed and what he had said, Qi Jianshu's eyes became even colder. He raised his hand and signaled the archers to get ready.

As his gesture changed, the archers came forward one after another, ran quickly to the front of Qi Jianshu's horse, squatted down, aimed in the direction of the city wall, pulled the bows in their hands to the full, and then shot.

After they finish their round of shooting, it is soon the turn of the hundreds of people behind them to take over. When they finish shooting, someone else will take over, and this cycle will repeat over and over again.

The arrows shot upward from the bottom of the city wall were like an overwhelming rain of arrows. Many soldiers were hit by the sharp arrows before they had time to dodge.

Those who react quickly will squat down quickly. Not to mention shooting arrows downwards, even if they stick their heads out they may be hit by arrows at any time.

Soldiers on the city wall fell down one after another. Some were shot directly in the chest and their chests stopped rising and falling in an instant. Some were only shot in the arms and shoulders and hurriedly squatted down to hide.

Although his life was not in danger, he could not continue fighting on the city wall, otherwise he might die from excessive blood loss at any time.

Han Yaojun's face became increasingly cold, and he clenched the sword in his hand tightly, wishing he could open the city gate immediately to compete with Qi Jianshu on the city wall!

He turned to Han Ziyu beside him and said, "Find someone to carry all the seriously injured soldiers down, and replace the others below, and have the military doctors treat their wounds as soon as possible!"

Han Ziyu responded to Han Yaojun's order without any hesitation. He immediately bent down and personally went to order people to carry the wounded down the city wall for treatment.

The rain of arrows from below continued, and the soldiers on the city wall couldn't even raise their heads, let alone fight back.

This made many soldiers feel genuinely frustrated and a sense of urgency. With the rain of arrows from under the city wall as a cover, the mechanical sounds of siege on the city gate soon resumed.

The collisions continued again and again, making them on the city wall feel as if a sense of urgency was approaching.

The centurion, who was separated from Han Yaojun by several soldiers, leaned his head out to look at Han Yaojun and asked loudly, "General Han, what should we do? If this continues, we won't be able to hold on."

Once the city gates are broken and real fighting begins, no matter how brave and skilled they are, they will not be able to withstand such a huge disparity in numbers.

"Use fire attack." Han Yaojun knew that the number of people in the two armies was far greater than that in the other armies. After thinking about it, he could only resort to this last resort.

Let all the archers' arrows be dipped in fire and then shot out, with the arrows aimed at the archers in front of Qi Jianshu.

It was a bit cruel, but it soon worked!
