I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 170: Don't leave me.

In an instant, hundreds of black arrows shot out from the top of the city wall.

The arrows rained down like the wrath of heaven, pouring down like a torrential rain.

In a blink of an eye, the silent arrows disappeared into the forest. The fleeting figures couldn't be seen, but the sound of them breaking echoed in their ears, sharp and distinct.

Birds and sparrows startled and flew in panic, fleeing to other places.

The sound of wailing rose and fell, but Qin Xueting paid no attention to it.

She swung her sword, cutting through the arrows, and even revealed a faint smile on her face. She gave orders to the deputy general beside her, "Let the shield-bearing soldiers come forward, block the front, set up the siege tower, and forcefully attack inside!"

"Yes!"

The shield soldiers protected the siege chariot, roaring angrily as they knocked down rows of guards.

The Imperial Guard rushed out from the left and right wings of the capital, riding on horses and wielding swords, charging forward, crossing the large shield as big as a cart cover, and taking enemy heads.

However, as soon as they fell, another group of soldiers with shields attacked, seemingly endless.

Qin Xueting followed a reckless fighting style, with several assault teams sacrificing themselves to clear the way, while protecting the soldiers who set up ladders against the city walls.

Just as the soldiers climbed up the ladder, a volley of feathered arrows aimed at the gate struck, piercing through their heads.

The body fell, leaving behind a splash of red.

Countless pairs of war boots trampled over the soldiers' bodies, crushing his face under their soles, and his blood-soaked limbs embedded into the stone slabs, perfectly fitting.

The smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and his death left no trace.

....

Xiao Jin didn't have the energy to calculate how long this battle had been going on.

All she knew was that when the main gate was smashed open by the siege chariot, the Yao Army seemed to erupt with a shout that could halt the clouds in the sky.

Ye Ji remained silent.

After a long while, he slowly uttered, "Your Highness, our men can't hold them back."

Xiao Jin placed her hand on the city wall, looking down at everything with lowered eyes.

Then she responded, "I know."

Ye Ji's voice had never sounded so sluggish, "Your Highness, for the sake of the people in the city, why not open the other gates and surrender?"

Xiao Jin didn't speak.

Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, she looked at the corpses and broken spears below, and many thoughts came to her mind. But in an instant, it was as if nothing existed.

The willow on ChunTan Street, the snow in the capital.

At the banquet, a cup of Erquan Yinhao tea. In front of the Wenyue Palace red robes resembling blood, morning glory accompanied by evening glow.

The rippling blue waves, a fisherman holding an oar, his voice loud and clear, singing a Yue folk song.

The water of the Moon Crossing River flows day after day, year after year.

Year after year, flowing eastward.

Scenes flashed before her eyes, finally freezing on the magnificent palace, Chu Shao lifted her head and gazed at the moment of a hundred lanterns.
