Chapter 330 - Surrender
No matter how sophisticated and tight the battle formation that Feng Muyan had arranged earlier was, it could not withstand the crushing attack of the Chu Nan army. In less than an hour, the Dong Chu army was suppressed under the city wall and was about to approach the city gate and break through the border.
"Your servant, go and fetch my cavalry. Today I swear to live and die with Dong Chu." Chu Yuhuan ran towards the city with red eyes.
“Your Majesty, please think twice. How can you use your valuable body to charge into battle? That is the soldiers’ job!” Yu Nu followed him with great effort and tried to persuade him. He almost fell to the ground several times, but the person in front still did not slow down.
By the time Chu Yuhuan rode out on his warhorse, the Dongchu army had been tightly surrounded, but it was limited to a siege. Gu Liuqing did not issue the final order to break into the city, as if he was waiting for something.
"Cousin, you finally showed up." Gu Liuqing chuckled, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised.
"Gu Liuqing, do you still know that I am your cousin? How I helped you and Gu Qinghong when you were in trouble? I'm afraid you have forgotten it all." Chu Yuhuan's eyes were full of mockery. If he had known this would happen, he would not have helped them. He really dug his own grave.
"That's why I want to give my cousin a chance today. Cousin, look at these soldiers in front of you. They are also your people. Do you really want to let them die for a war that you know is unwinnable? Why not open the city gate and let us in? In the future, we can also get the title of a prince of a different surname." Gu Liuqing said lazily.
The veins on Chu Yuhuan's forehead were throbbing. Gu Liuqing's words sounded nice, but wasn't it obvious that he was asking him to surrender and let the enemy enter the city? If he really did that, how would he face his ancestors after his death? How would he be worthy of those soldiers who had died in the battle?
"Chu Yuhuan, I also suggest that you surrender." Feng Muyan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Feng Muyan, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the king of a country. I would rather die with my country than surrender." Chu Yuhuan's eyes turned red with anxiety. Why did even his own people advise him to surrender to the enemy? Was he such a failure as an emperor?
"Yuhuan, let me call you that. Amu doesn't mean to look down on you. The strength between the enemy and us is too different. The only result of a head-on confrontation is that these soldiers' lives will be at the mercy of the Chu Nan army. The final outcome will still be the fall of the city. Do you understand?" Song Yunli, who came from the city wall, said loudly.
"Li'er, why are you here? Go back quickly!" Feng Muyan scolded harshly.
"Amu, no matter what you say, I will not leave. We should be together even more now!" Song Yunli slowly pulled off her hairband, and her ink-dyed hair cascaded down like a waterfall. The crowd that was originally talking suddenly became quiet, and all their eyes were focused on Song Yunli.
The corners of Gu Liuqing's mouth gradually pursed into a straight line, the light in his eyes became colder and colder, and his right hand touched the sword at his waist.
Chu Yuhuan, sitting on his war horse, looked around, and all he saw were faces covered in blood and mud. It was he who brought them here, and now if they did not surrender, he could not bring them back intact. He really felt ashamed of the people of Dongchu!
"Gu Liuqing, if I am willing to surrender, can you guarantee that you will not hurt these soldiers in the slightest? Can you guarantee that you will not hurt the civilians in the slightest after entering the city?"
"No!" Gu Liuqing said jokingly.
"You...a villain who goes back on your word!"
"Cousin, I just gave you a chance, but opportunities don't exist all the time. They are fleeting, and you just didn't seize it. How about I give you another chance?"
Although Gu Liuqing was talking to Chu Yuhuan, his eyes were always on Song Yunli.
