You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 337: The Gate Opens! Beiyang Pass is Broken

"I didn't expect Aunt Ning's subordinates to be so... well-behaved."

Ning Xi glanced at him and said:

"What you want to say is that they are so easy to fool! Do you think that others are like you, with sesame fillings in their rice balls?"

Shen Yanzhou: ...

"I think the reason why my son is so bad is probably because of your influence."

Shen Yanzhou: ...

"Aunt Ning, do you see my back is bent?"

"If you can't even take the blame for this, why fight? Go back and drink milk!"

Shen Yanzhou: ...

Aunt Ning is really a wonderful person, but it’s a pity that she has a big mouth.

In front of Lin Zhaoyue, he was a gentle and kind elder, but in his eyes, he wanted to arrest him and put him in jail.

"Aunt Ning, the Third Prince is actually not a bad person."

Ning Xi glanced at him sideways again:

"Not bad? If he is not bad, how can he come up with such a bad idea? He must have already gone to the Northern Jue Kingdom by now!"

Shen Yanzhou was shocked. He didn't reveal anything, and few people knew the news. Feng Mian would never betray his master.

"Aunt Ning, how did you know?"

"He is my son, how could I not know that he is just like his father, the emperor."

Shen Yanzhou didn't know why his brain suddenly went blank, or maybe he wanted to speak up for his brother, so he blurted out:

"Aunt Ning never raised him for a single day. The Third Prince didn't even know you existed. He never saw you when he was in life and death situations..."

Shen Yanzhou's words came to an abrupt end.

Looking at Ning Xi's red eyes, he quickly slapped her face and said:

"Aunt Ning, it's just the young man talking nonsense, just treat it as me being crazy, don't take it seriously."

Ning Xi didn't say anything, just ordered:

"Go and ask them to bring some big pots over, and also tear down their houses and move the bricks here."

What Zhao Zhao said just now was right. They had no weapons, but it had snowed for so many days and there was plenty of boiling water. The bricks in the house were enough to kill people.

Shen Yanzhou wanted to say something, but Ning Xi glanced at him and said:

"Go quickly."

Shen Yanzhou had no choice but to do his work obediently.

When he was getting down from the city wall, he looked back and saw Ning Xi secretly wiping away tears. He quickly put his hand down for fear of being discovered.

Shen Yanzhou's eyes flashed with regret and he slapped himself a few times.

Stinky mouth, stinky mouth, stinky mouth... I'll make you stink, I'll make you stink...

When Shen Yanzhou came back, Ning Xi had already sorted out her emotions.

With tens of thousands of people, things can be done efficiently.

Soon the city walls were piled with stone bricks, and several large pots were set up, with soldiers shoveling snow into the pots.

Every soldier defending the city held a container of water in his hand, either a basin, a wooden ladle or a wooden bucket.

"Aunt Ning."

Shen Yanzhou shouted, his voice becoming a little weaker.

Ning Xi hummed and said:

"Brace yourself, they're coming!"

Three days ago, she used poison and virus to force the Beijue soldiers to retreat from Beiyang Pass to Buzhou Mountain.

They attacked again this time and the march would take some time.

After about half an incense stick of time, they clearly felt a slight vibration under their feet.

"They are coming! Prepare your troops!"

As Ning Xi finished speaking, everyone first saw a black dot, and then a dense crowd of heads. The flag representing Beijue fluttered in the wind, and there was no end in sight for the thousands of troops.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts of killing were loud and filled with great anger.

The Northern Jue attacked with a million-strong army, but suffered such a heavy defeat. Everyone was extremely angry and wanted to tear out the skin and bones of every soldier at Beiyang Pass to relieve their hatred.

As the distance got closer, Emperor Rong Sheng looked at the woman on the city wall and wished he could grind her into ashes.

"Ning Xi, if you open the city gate obediently, I will spare your life, how about that?"

Ning Xi looked down with contempt in her eyes.

"Emperor Rong Sheng, you call me mother, and I will let you die more easily later, how about that?"

A hint of cruelty flashed across Emperor Rong En's eyes, and he said:

"Kill me, you ignorant fool!"

The Beijue soldiers who received the order rushed forward with full of indignation, with shield soldiers leading the way, followed closely by heavily armored soldiers. Some soldiers pushed carts carrying battering rams for ramming the city gates.

"They are preparing to storm the city gate."

Shen Yanzhou's expression became serious.

Ning Xi said to the soldiers behind him:

"When they break down the city gate, throw the bricks at them."

It is not possible to pour boiling water on it. The weather is so cold and the city walls are so high. By the time the water reaches the bottom, it will be cold.

"Yes, Ning Shen."

The Beijue shield soldiers walked cautiously into An Guo's shooting range and found that there was no expected rain of arrows, nor those terrible poisons, let alone poison. They all cheered at once.

"They really have run out of ammunition and food! Northern Jue warriors, charge!"

A soldier shouted, his voice unable to hide his joy.

Their general guessed right.

The general observed that the number of poisonous creatures they found each time was decreasing, so he guessed that their beast tamers could only tam beasts within a range, and the wild beasts in Beiyang Pass had all been killed by them.

The last time they attacked, their commander used poison. Your Majesty guessed that their military supplies had run out and they had no choice but to resort to such brutal means.

Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful!

After learning that Anguo had no military supplies, the last bit of fear in the hearts of the Beijue soldiers was replaced by excitement and anger, and they rushed to the city wall with all their might.

"Seven teams of heavy armored troops set up ladders and attack the city walls!"

"Twelve teams of heavy armored soldiers fought hard to break open the city gate..."

"Go! Kill those Anguo soldiers and use their blood to wash away the shame they brought us!"

The Northern Jue soldiers swarmed forward with overwhelming momentum.

Compared with the previous attack, this attack was particularly smooth for Beijue.

They put up the ladder smoothly and climbed up it smoothly.

When they were halfway up the mountain, Ning Xi raised the banner in his hand and said:

"fall!"

The boiling water poured down like a flood.

The Beijue soldiers who were screaming and scalding fell off the ladders one after another, either dead or injured.

As one group of people fell down, a new group of Northern Jue soldiers came up.

This time, they held up shields against the boiling water.

Ning Xi took a look and said:

"Smash it for me!"

The soldiers picked up bricks and smashed them down with all their might.

With the protection of the shield, although some were knocked down, some still climbed up.

"Pry their ladder off."

Some soldiers reached for sticks and were about to pry open the ladder, but were shot by the crossbows tied to their hands by the Northern Jue soldiers, and fell from the city wall one after another.

After being hit by the crossbow arrows, the soldiers knew they would not survive, so while they were still conscious, they used their bodies as weapons and smashed heavily at the Beijue people on the ladders.

The Beijue soldiers who were on the ladder were hit and immediately wailed.

There was a loud rumbling sound, Ning Xi looked up and saw that the catapult on the opposite side had been equipped, and huge rocks were smashing towards them.

"avoid!"

Ning Xi shouted, but some soldiers were unable to dodge and were smashed to pieces by the huge rocks.

The Northern Jue soldiers took advantage of this gap to climb up the city wall, and the two sides quickly engaged in a battle.

The two sides fought from noon to dusk, and the wall was smashed to pieces under the continuous attack of the catapults.

The Beijue soldiers who were attacking the city gate were hit by the last wave of rolling stones and, with the protection of the shield soldiers, finally rammed the city gate open several times before it burst open.

At this moment, someone shouted:

"The city gate is open, charge!"

After the city gate was lost, the Northern Jue soldiers gave up their plan to climb the ladder to attack the city and instead swarmed towards the city gate.

Ning Xi held the red tasseled spear, her silver armor was splattered with blood, and the cold wind blew up her blood-stained black hair, making her back look particularly thin.
