8580 Chapter 8579-
“Pass down my order, anyone who captures Sima Yunqi, su lingyue, or Liu Ziyu alive will be made a Marquis of ten thousand households! Whoever takes their heads will be given the title of Marquis of thousand households!”
“The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with ten thousand! Those who kill the enemy’s general will be promoted by three ranks …”
The detailed reward plan was sent out one after another, and the morale of the attacking forces began to soar. All of them were shouting with red eyes!
They couldn’t wait to rush up to the city wall and capture Sima Yunqi and the others alive.
No matter which Empire it was, it was very difficult to be conferred the title of Marquis.
Especially in a situation where there was no war, a soldier would not be able to touch the Marquis even if he died.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he had to go crazy!
“Send the order to be on guard!”
Song shaopeng, as the highest commander in the front line, immediately gave the order to prepare for the storm of attacks from the enemy Army.
However, Sima Yun suddenly raised his hand and added,””How about this? first, send the order to activate the formation to block the enemy’s attack. Then, gather all the cavalry in the city and wait for an opportunity to attack!”
“Imperial father! Isn’t that too risky?”
Liu Ziyu was shocked.
He didn’t expect that under the current tense situation, Sima Yun would actually have such a crazy idea.
A surprise attack outside the city?
Most of the imperial capital’s Garrison consisted of infantrymen. As most of the cavalrymen were sent to other battlefields as support, only 10000 of the 50000 soldiers in the imperial capital’s Garrison were cavalrymen!
Take 10,000 cavalrymen out of the city to launch a surprise attack?
This was almost the same as going out of the city to deliver food!
Only his cousin, Sima Yi, could do such a thing. No one else could, but his cousin was not here!
“no, a surprise attack is our only chance! the formation can protect us for a while, but it can’t protect the imperial capital for a long time. we have to defeat the enemy to have hope!”
sima yunqi was very nervous, but his mind was unexpectedly calm.
he had always been an outstanding talent. back in hongshang commandery, he had already stood out and taken on an important position of commander.
if it wasn’t for the fact that he didn’t want to compete with sima yunfei, sima yunfei’s line would have been suppressed to death by him!
later on, lin yi appeared as sima yi, invincible in all his battles. sima yi became invisible from then on, leaving the glory to the younger generation.
however, in reality, sima yunqi was not old. whether it was the hot blood in his chest or the military strategies in his stomach, they were enough to suppress a country!
“the enemy is besieging us from all sides, and they have ten times our number. even if we activate the formation, we’ll only be able to protect the imperial capital for a while, but the empire has already fallen!”
“we can take advantage of the time when they split up to attack the city and use our cavalry to ambush them. after we defeat them, the pressure on us will be greatly reduced. then, we can use our schemes to sow discord between the allied forces. perhaps we still have a chance of survival.”
sima yun stood up and pulled off his robe, revealing the light armor he was wearing.”i will personally go to this battle! if you don’t succeed, you’ll die!”
during the establishment of the hong shang empire, sima yunqi didn’t participate in it. it was lin yi who built this huge empire.
Hence, si MA had never seen a battle of this scale.
It was inevitable for him to be nervous, but he was not afraid!
Since he wasn’t there when his son built the Empire, he should be the one to protect it!
“Imperial father! My son is the Emperor of the Empire. I should be the one to fight the counterattack!”
Liu Ziyu was anxious and immediately stood up.
Because this battle was truly a narrow escape, completely using their lives to fight for that sliver of hope!
Su lingyue, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stepped forward and patted Liu Ziyu’s shoulder. She smiled gently and said,””Yu ‘er, it’s precisely because you’re the Emperor that you can’t move! They must stay in the imperial capital and take command. ”
“If you’re fine, then the capital will be fine! Only then would the soldiers be at ease. Leave the surprise attack to us! Your father and I will return in triumph!”
As su lingyue spoke, she also took off her cloak, revealing the fine armor she was wearing.
She was also going to fight with si Ma Yun. Looking at the couple’s attire, Liu Ziyu knew that they had already made their decision beforehand and did not come up with it on the spot.
“Father, mother …”
Liu Ziyu’s eyes were filled with tears. He felt that he was really too useless!
He actually wanted the two elders to risk their lives!
“Don’t worry! It was just a battle to the death, maybe he could really turn defeat into victory! If things don’t go well … When you have the chance to see Yi ‘er in the future … Tell him that we all miss him …”
Sima Yunqi’s eyes turned red when he mentioned Lin Yi.
He knew that Lin Yi wasn’t related to them by blood, but he and su lingyue really treated Lin Yi as their son.
This would not change because of their blood relationship.
In the hearts of Sima Yunqi and su lingyue, Lin Yi was their son!
“No! Imperial father, I won’t tell cousin these words. After this matter is over, let’s go find cousin and see if he’s doing well now!”
“Good! Then it’s settled! General song, have you assembled the cavalry?”
Si MA stood up and waved his hand. He suppressed the emotions in his heart and officially entered the role of commander.
“Reporting to the retired emperor, we are currently assembling. We still need the time to brew half a cup of tea to complete the assembly!”
Song shaopeng admired Sima Yunqi’s decisiveness, so his attitude was more respectful.
As expected of boss’s foster father, he wasn’t afraid at all at the critical moment!
The enemies outside the city had already started to charge and were about to approach the city wall. The soldiers in charge of defense drew their bows and arrows and attacked first when they entered their shooting range.
After a few rounds of arrows, the city protection formation would be activated to resist the attack of the Allied forces.
This was the first time the nation protecting formation had activated its defense mode, and no one knew how effective it would be …
In fact, Lin Yi had modified this array later on, and its power was beyond everyone’s imagination!
Not only was its defensive power extremely strong, it even had a certain degree of counterattack ability.
It was a pity that Lin Yi never told them about it-this formation was set up just in case, and Lin Yi didn’t think anyone would risk offending him by attacking the imperial capital.
If there was really such a person, his strength would probably be above his. Whether the formation would be effective or not was hard to say.
He didn’t think that all these empires would join forces to attack Hong Shang Empire just because of a rumor. Even Lin Yi didn’t expect this.
Just as the brutal siege was about to begin, and Sima Yunqi and su lingyue were prepared to fight to the death, a cloud of dust rose in the distant sky and quickly approached the imperial capital.
From the top of the city wall, it could be seen clearly. Sima Yunqi and song shaopeng were both experienced generals in the Army. They could easily judge that the incoming party was a cavalry team of at most a few thousand people!
At this moment, they were running at high speed.
