Chapter 262

The brawny man also held his iron hammer, using almost all his strength to follow and roar, "Kill the enemy!"

Following the sound of this voice.

More and more hot-blooded men pushed open their doors and came to the streets, and they also shouted, "Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

For a time, the spontaneous voices of the commoners slowly converged, forming a huge wave of sound that echoed throughout Changancheng!

This was a vigorous fighting spirit!

This was a roar issued to protect their common home in the face of a national disaster!

"This, this is..."

Wu Zhao stood where she was.

Shangguan Wan'er also stood where she was.

Their eyes carried an indescribable excitement and shock.

Wu Zhao looked at this scene, listening to the sounds of killing the enemy, and endless agitation surged in her heart.

It was endless moving.

In her memory, ever since she was old enough to understand, she had never cried again; even if she fell and her knees were bruised and swollen, she would grit her teeth and climb up herself, not to mention that after she became an adult, she had no brothers, and she was destined to become the Empress.

How could an Empress cry?

Even if Mount Taishan collapsed before her, her expression would not change; if the sky fell, she would have to carry it on her shoulders. Crying... was an act of cowardice.

Wu Zhao also didn't like crying, feeling that crying was the most useless thing in the world.

But at this moment, looking at the commoners before her and listening to the sounds ringing in her ears, a sense of bitterness madly stimulated her tear glands from her heart.

Admittedly, Gao Yang's rumors played a role in this.

But more importantly, the people of Changancheng had a sense of belonging to Great Qian in their hearts!

Wu Zhao raised her noble head and looked at the sky; she wanted to hold it back, just like she had faced all the schemes and intrigues of Great Qian in the past, controlling the emotions in her heart.

But at this moment, that bitterness was madly stimulating her tear glands.

In the end, two lines of crystalline tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

So, she was not alone behind her.

She was not fighting alone; behind her were Shangguan Wan'er, Gao Yang, and countless loyal and righteous people!

And even more... commoners!

On Zhu Que Street.

Gao Tianlong and Lu Zhen were also filled with excitement.

Looking at this scene before them, their tiger eyes were also moist.

This was the empire they protected, the commoners they protected!

Great Qian had so many hot-blooded commoners; how could Changancheng be considered empty?

Gao Tianlong suddenly drew his large saber, the blade pointing straight at the firmament, his face flushed, and he roared, "Great Qian, will be victorious!!!"

On Zhu Que Street, the hot-blooded Great Qian commoners all looked in the direction of Gao Tianlong.

They followed suit, raising their right hands and roaring, "Great Qian, will be victorious!"

"Great Qian, will be victorious!"

The golden sunlight broke through the dense cloud layer above the nine heavens, covering all of Changancheng and shining on Wu Zhao's noble face.

Wu Zhao listened to the shouts and looked at the Great Qian commoners on the streets.

She couldn't help but smile.

"Who said my Changancheng is empty?"

"I have so many hot-blooded commoners, and I have the Living Yama to assist me; why can't I win this battle?"

Fight to the death!

With my blood, with the power of the entire city of Changancheng, we will fight to the end!

"..."

Song Prefecture.

Song Li stood in the courtyard, listening to the mountain-shaking roars, his expression complex.

"In such a dead end, there is actually a glimmer of hope."

"Gao Yang has been appointed Minister of War and is in charge of all of Changancheng; if this battle is really held, then my Song family has committed a heaven-sized mistake!"

Song Li took a deep breath, his intestines almost turning green with regret.

On the side, Song Qingqing's fair little face was also filled with complexity.

This was a heaven-sized crisis, but for Gao Yang, it was also a heaven-sized opportunity.

"Qingqing, do you regret it?"

Song Li suddenly looked at Song Qingqing and asked.

If time could turn back, on the day Gao Yang took down the Edict of Seeking Talent, he would have stopped Song Qingqing no matter what.

The fate of the entire Song family had undergone a heaven-shaking change because of this!

Song Qingqing's face carried a touch of stubbornness, "Prince Wu and the Chu Kingdom colluded, so they must have made full preparations. Although the people of Changancheng responded one after another, on the battlefield, there are very few commoners who won't be scared out of their wits."

"This battle is still hard to say; the Song family should make other preparations, and self-preservation is the royal way."

Since she was young, she had thought highly of herself, wanting to marry a talent of the world, a hero of the age, but now she never imagined.

The person she wanted to marry since she was a child, and even now, was right here in Changancheng, but not long ago, she had personally broken off the engagement.

Rationally speaking, Great Qian holding out was the best result for the Song family.

But Song Qingqing's psychology was at work; she was unwilling to admit this, and she would rather the city fall and Gao Yang die.

Because the more dazzling Gao Yang was, the more it felt like a heavy slap on her face.

In all of Changancheng, she was a joke!

Song Li didn't say much, just looked in the direction of the imperial palace.

When the Living Yama makes a move, there are traces to follow.

But the Living Yama hadn't even shown his face, which only meant that everything was within his expectations.

Furthermore, he was doing something more important than mobilizing the commoners.

Fine wine!

Brown sugar!

Craftsmen, blacksmiths!

And even feces...

What on earth was he doing?

Song Li didn't know, and couldn't guess.

But he knew that all of this would have an answer when the Chu Kingdom soldiers arrived at the city walls.

For a time, Changancheng boiled, and the fighting spirit spread through the streets and alleys.

Especially after the news of Gao Yang guarding the city was embellished, it made the commoners greatly encouraged.

This was something everyone had not expected.

A reputation for vicious schemes is sometimes more useful than any other reputation.

Gao Tianlong, Lu Zhen, Qin Zhenguo, and other generals screened the commoners, organized them into the army, and taught them the art of defending the city as quickly as possible.

Wu Zhao sat in the imperial palace, directing the officials and preparing the logistics for the backup supplies.

One day passed in a flash...
