Chapter 100 Attacked
"The Khan of the Western Lu is not a good man. No woman who falls into his hands can survive for more than two months. You and I have been like sisters since we were young. How could I sacrifice you to save myself?"

However, Ah Yu's eyes gradually became firm, "Ah Yu's mission by Your Highness's side is to serve Your Highness and protect Your Highness' safety!"

"As long as I can help His Highness, Ayu will have no regrets even if I die a thousand times!"

"Ayu..." Xiao Yu'er cried out in emotion, but after a moment she shook her head firmly and said, "Forget it. If the price of my survival is to watch you suffer a fate worse than death, then I would rather die!"

"Your Highness..."

The master and servant both had tears in their eyes. After staring at each other for a long time, Xiao Yuer suddenly turned to the generals behind her and said, "You are all my mother's old subordinates who have followed her for many years. Huertu asked me to attack Baicheng, but he sent you all out. This is obviously to wipe out our Yehe tribe!"

"But I can't bear to see you die with me, so you can leave on your own in a while."

Looking around, the soldiers following Xiao Yuer were all elderly people, and even the braid behind the leading general's head had turned gray. Hearing this, tears came to his eyes.

"Your Highness, Huertu completely wiped out our Yehe tribe ten years ago. If we just abandon you like this, where can we go?"

"Are we still going to go back to find Huertu? Even if we do go back, Huertu will not disturb us."

"Rather than dying at the hands of that beast, it is better to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess and die on the battlefield. This is the last honor of being a tribal warrior!"

The other soldiers burst into tears upon hearing this, and said that it would be better to die on the battlefield with Xiao Yuer than to go back and be liquidated by Hurtu.

Xiao Yu'er also knew that what they said was the truth, but she just couldn't bear to see them follow her to die. However, seeing that everyone was determined, she shed tears and nodded in agreement, "Father and mother can have such loyal subordinates like you, I'm sure they will feel relieved if they hear it!"

"The loyal souls of our Yehe tribe will be proud of you in heaven!"

Everyone was moved by what he said, and they all drew their swords and said firmly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness. There are no cowards among the warriors of the Yehe tribe!"

Xiao Yuer nodded immediately and said, "Okay, let's fight for the glory of the Yehe tribe one last time!"

As soon as these words fell, more than a hundred veteran soldiers immediately rode their horses towards Baicheng.

Wang An had just finished reviewing official documents and was about to return to his room to rest when an urgent alarm suddenly sounded from the temple tower at the city gate.

Wang An was startled and immediately called his maid to put armor on him.

Just as he put it on, Xu Huang rushed in with a fake voice.

As soon as he saw Wang An, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, the city defense reported that the Tartars are attacking the city!"

Wang An's face was grim. He said, "We had expected these Tartars to come for revenge, but we didn't expect it to happen so soon. It seems that the status of the man we captured in the Eastern Tartars is even more important than we thought!"

After that, Wang An immediately asked: "Have you seen how many troops are coming? Can the city walls hold out?"

Xu Huang frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "The soldiers on duty reported that it was too dark outside the city. They only saw the Tartar cavalry shooting arrows at the top of the city, but they couldn't see how many troops and horses had arrived."

"But the enemy's offensive is not fierce, so we will be fine for the time being."

Wang An nodded, guessing that this was just a test from the other party.

So he immediately deployed: "Immediately summon the army to assemble and immediately defend the city. Also notify Chen Huaian and have his black armor position prepare to go out of the city and fight in the field!"

Wang An planned to find out the enemy's situation and then see if there was a chance for the Black Armor Guards to go out of the city and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

Of course, this possibility is very low. When Wang An left the government office, he immediately found that the candles in the whole city were lit up. It seemed that the news of the Tartar attack on the city had spread throughout the city.

After all, the alarm at the city gate resounded throughout the city, and it would be hard not to know about it.

Many residents went out at this time, asking each other about the situation in a counter-terrorism manner.

Wang An did not waste any time and hurriedly rode his horse towards the city gate. When he arrived at the city wall, Wang An couldn't help feeling relieved.

Fortunately, the first thing I did when I arrived in White City was to rebuild the wall.

Although it has not been fully completed, it is no longer full of collapsed holes like it was in the beginning. The defense of the city wall is basically intact, but the height is still not enough.

If the enemy brings a large number of infantry and uses ladders to attack the city, they can reach the top of the city without much effort.

Thinking of this, Wang An ordered Xu Huang while heading east, "Mobilize the people in the city immediately and prepare the gold juice!"

The so-called golden juice is boiling manure water.

In the era of cold weapons, gold juice was a magical weapon for attacking and defending cities.

As long as it is poured over the enemy's heads, the boiling waste water will immediately burn their skin, and the large amount of bacteria and viruses in the sewage will make these enemies live a life worse than death.

Although the immediate killing power is insufficient, as soon as the golden juice appears, it will produce strong psychological pressure on the enemy troops attacking the city.

After all, death is possible, but no one wants to die too miserably.

Xu Huang nodded immediately after hearing this, and immediately ordered the soldiers around him to go and make arrangements, while he himself guarded Wang An with a knife in hand.

However, when he climbed up the city wall and took a quick look at the situation outside the city, he immediately felt something was wrong.

Although it was dark at this time and the enemy had no torches, Wang An was unable to see the situation outside the city clearly.

But even so, the enemy troops attacking the city outside still made him feel a little weird.

Too little!
There are really too few enemy troops attacking the city!

Wang An looked around and saw that the enemy troops attacking the city were like waves, approaching the city walls in waves and shooting arrows.

But the number of people in each wave was pitifully small, only about a dozen or twenty people.

Wang An observed carefully for a while and found that these enemy soldiers actually looked familiar.

It was not because Wang An had seen them somewhere before, but because the enemy forces that had launched attacks before would reappear almost every five waves or so.

This made it impossible for Wang An not to look familiar.

That is to say, the enemy's water wave attack almost cycled every five waves. If you calculate it this way, there were only about a hundred enemy troops participating in the siege.

What tricks are the Tartars playing? Even if it's just a test, they shouldn't let the same group of men waste their energy, right?

And judging from the fact that they launched the attack at night, they must have intended it as a surprise attack.

However, after testing the waters for so long and still not launching a large-scale attack, the surprise attack lost its meaning.
