The Frostwest soldiers froze when the arrows struck them.
They couldn't believe that after escaping the pursuit of the Great Liang, they were about to be shot dead by their own people.
Unfortunately, the people inside don't care about all that. If they let these people in, the city gates won't be able to close, and the enemy can rush in.
kill!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, a large number of people near the city wall fell. This serious killing caused the Frostwest soldiers outside the city to stop in their tracks, and for a moment they were caught in a dilemma.
However, a problem arose at the city gate, and a major one at that.
"Sir, we can't close the door! There are corpses all around, and the enemy even blew up our door. It looks like our door was damaged."
Several soldiers, sweating profusely, said bitterly.
They knew the situation was extremely urgent, but the city gate was broken, which made them incredibly anxious.
"The city gate is broken and can't be closed?"
The city gate official was incredulous; such a problem at this crucial time was utterly shocking.
He couldn't care less about the emperor standing to the side; he hurriedly ran down to check on the city gate.
However, upon seeing the situation at the city gate, his heart sank. Not only were the city gates piled high with corpses, but the main entrance had also been blown askew, making it impossible to close them.
Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly heard a whooshing sound, and before I could even move, I was blasted away.
Boom!
Two shells landed nearby, hitting him squarely. His body fell to the side, right next to a man with several arrows strapped to his back.
Upon seeing his corpse, a glint of pleasure appeared in the latter's bloodshot eyes, and he sneered, "Hahaha, heaven truly has eyes. You ordered an attack on us, and now you're the one who dies!"
Ga!
He had barely finished speaking when he breathed his last.
Meanwhile, Ashina Tiandu, who was on the city wall, also learned of the situation at the city gate. His face immediately turned extremely grim. This was a case of not even giving them the last glimmer of hope.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Guards, seal the city gates with stones for me! I..."
Snap!
Before he could finish speaking, a large, pale hand lashed out, causing him to stumble and instantly silencing the entire room.
Everyone stared in disbelief at the owner of the hand, with only one thought in their minds: This guy must be crazy.
Ashina Tiandu glared at him, completely enraged, and roared, " Ashley, do you want to die? How dare you hit me?"
Guards! I order him to be torn apart by five horses!
He couldn't believe it; this old geezer actually dared to lay a hand on him, and even slap him across the face! This was practically an act of rebellion!
Snap!
Ashley slapped him again, then went berserk, furiously beating the bewildered Ashina Tiandu.
Coming to his senses, Ashina Tiandu's face turned green. He kicked Ashley and then drew his sword with a clang, ready to send the crazy old man on his way.
But the next moment, he stopped moving. He saw the Xiaoniu with a menacing look on its face, walking towards him with a sinister grin.
Ashley's nephew.
"General Xiaoniu, what do you want to do?" Ashina Tiandu, and he asked instinctively.
"What the hell do you think I want to do?"
Xiaoniu Niu slapped Ashina Tiandu across the face, making him stagger.
He roared, "You piece of trash! What good are you besides turning against your own people? You've led the Frostwest Empire into the abyss, not only losing the capital but also turning against your own people. What kind of ruler of Frostwest do you think you are?"
This slap woke Ashina Tiandu Ashley was planning a rebellion.
Looking at Ashley's expressionless eyes, Ashina Tiandu said grimly, " Ashley, do you know what you're doing? You've actually rebelled! Do you think that even if you kill me, you can stop the Great Liang?"
He wanted to persuade Ashley to use the current crisis to suppress his opponent. Once this crisis was over, he could strike first.
Hearing his words, Ashley sneered, "Why resist the Great Liang? Frostwest can accept trash like you, so why can't it accept the rule of the Great Liang?"
"The emperor of Great Liang was at least a wise ruler of the East, wasn't he better than you?"
Holy crap!
These words instantly broke Ashina Tiandu's composure. Why was Lin Yi the wise ruler of the East, while he was just a piece of trash? This guy was simply too much.
However, it suddenly dawned on him that this guy had probably defected to the Great Liang.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You, Ashley, are you trying to become a traitor and defect to the Great Liang? Guards, execute this scoundrel for me!"
Snap!
General Xiaoniu Niu slapped him across the face and sneered, "Kill your grandpa! You're still acting tough here. Do you think I was able to bring troops here? Do you think there are many people willing to die with you?"
Forehead!
Upon hearing this, Ashina Tiandu changed drastically, and he looked at his group of subordinates with disbelief.
yes!
Because the Xiaoniu have suffered repeated defeats, and Ashley has been suppressed by me, they've been relegated to the sidelines. How could they possibly come back now?
What about their own men? Didn't they know to step in and block it?
"No way, have they all betrayed us?"
He was somewhat unable to accept it and couldn't help but look at Kuli, almost pleading, " Kuli, you are the Finance Minister of Frostwest, I have treated you well."
This person is practically the third-in-command of Frostwest; I've already done more than enough for him.
"Your Majesty, you know I am the Minister of Finance, so why do you treat me like a money bag, not even sparing my own money?"
A cold glint flashed in Kuli's eyes, and he said with a disdainful expression.
The situation is now clear. Great Liang already had such a large advantage, and now it has crushed Frostwest's last 800,000-strong army. The outcome is already decided.
Rather than die alongside Ashina Tiandu, it would be better to use him as leverage for surrender.
Although it was somewhat shameless, he wasn't under much pressure. You see, after Ashina Tiandu took power, he had been stripping him of his authority and liquidating his assets.
The previous massive conscription had almost drained him dry; if he continued like this, he would be completely worn out.
Forehead!
Ashina Tiandu; he was indeed preparing to settle Kuli.
There's no way around it, he's short of money!
Conscription costs money, food costs money, so who else can we ask if not Kuli? This guy is the God of Wealth of Frostwest, he has amassed a huge fortune by virtue of his position as Minister of Finance, so taking action against him is for the sake of the country.
He looked at Hu'er beside him and gritted his teeth, saying, " Hu'er, I didn't even pursue the matter of your brother's defeat in the East, and you want to rebel too?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a glob of hot phlegm flew towards him.
Pooh!
Hu'er glared at him through gritted teeth and said angrily, "If you hadn't abandoned my brother back then, how could he have been so badly injured?"
If you could abandon him then, you'll abandon us too. Who do you think will still believe you then?
