Chapter 245 Threat
Chapter 245 Threat
On top of the city wall were the Liao soldiers ready for battle, and below the wall was the An Guo army with high morale.
The two sides were facing each other, the situation was tense and the air was filled with tension.
Yun Zhi rode on a warhorse and looked at Qi Yan'an on the city wall.
At this time, he was holding Yun Jingxian hostage, with the sharp dagger blade against Yun Jingxian's neck, and he was looking at the An Guo army below leisurely.
Looking at Yun Jingxian, who had obviously been tortured and was covered in wounds, Yun Zhi clenched the reins tightly into a fist, frowning, "Qi Yan'an, release Prince Rui immediately! Otherwise, today will be the day your city falls!"
However, facing Yun Zhi's threatening words and sharp gaze, Qi Yan'an just smiled faintly and moved the dagger closer to Yun Jingxian's neck.
Qi Yan'an said calmly, "You can give it a try and see whether you can capture the city faster or I can take his life faster."
"It is a wonderful thing to have you, our only brother, accompany us on our journey to the underworld."
After saying that, he even cast a slightly provocative gaze towards Yun Zhi below.
You know, according to the information Qi Yan'an has, Yun Zhi is very caring and attentive to her brother.
I think for the sake of his brother's life, he should be willing to make a certain degree of compromise and concession.
As expected by Qi Yanan, Yun Zhi said, "So, what do you want?"
"It's simple. Order the troops to withdraw immediately. Leave the Liao territory immediately and don't invade for ten years. Otherwise, I will kill him immediately!"
Yun Zhi laughed nonchalantly upon hearing this. "Qi Yan'an, do you think I would give up the unification of the country for a brother? If it were you, would you agree?"
Of course not!
Not to mention for a brother, even if it was for his biological parents and the deep sibling love, he would not give in at this point.
The great kingdom is right in front of him, he must be crazy to do this.
It's hard to tell whether Yun Zhi really doesn't care about her brother, or if she is just pretending.
Qi Yan'an pondered in his heart, looking at Yun Zhi with some suspicion, and exerted a little force on his hand, and a blood mark instantly appeared on Yun Jingxian's neck.
Listening to Yun Jingxian's painful gasps, Qi Yan'an lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "Prince Rui, oh Prince Rui, your sister is so cold-blooded. In her eyes, you, her brother, who was born of the same mother, are not as important as the country. Why don't you beg her and see if she is willing to save you?"
Yun Jingxian glared at Qi Yan'an fiercely, then looked at Yun Zhi below, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me, attack the city."
Hearing this, Qi Yan'an's originally calm expression turned gloomy.
He didn't intend to say any more useless words, and his eyes fell on Yun Zhi below.
"Yun Zhi, I'll count to three. If you don't withdraw your troops, Yun Jingxian will surely die! One!"
As he said this, Qi Yan'an stared at her face, trying to find any trace of panic in her expression.
However, Yun Zhi remained calm and looked at him without flinching.
He even leisurely took out his bow and arrow.
"Qi Yan'an, do you think you can threaten me like this?" Yun Zhi raised his chin slightly, a sneer of contempt on the corner of his mouth.
As he spoke, the arrow feather was already on the bowstring and was slowly pulled apart.
The tip of the arrow flashed coldly in the sunlight, pointing directly at the captured Yun Jingxian not far away.
"Nothing in this world can threaten me. Even if there is, I will personally deal with him and prevent him from becoming a threat!"
Yun Zhi's voice was cold and resolute, and there was a fierce look in her eyes.
Looking at the arrow tip aimed at Yun Jingxian, Qi Yan'an's heart was filled with waves, and the countdown in his mouth stopped.
Everything that happened before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations.
He didn't expect Yun Zhi to be so cold-blooded and ruthless.
In order to avoid being threatened, the woman pointed the arrow at her brother without hesitation, ready to kill him.
That’s really cruel.
Qi Yan'an kept his eyes fixed on Yun Zhi, trying to catch even the slightest hint of bluffing or hesitation in her.
but.
Even the bow in her hand was being pulled more and more fully.
Looking at the arrow that was about to be shot, Qi Yan'an began to panic unconsciously and lost his initial composure.
He originally thought that as long as he used Yun Jingxian as a hostage, he could force the other party to be cautious and choose to retreat. However, Yun Zhi actually planned to kill Yun Jingxian regardless of the consequences.
If Yun Jingxian was really dead, the Anguo army would have no worries at all.
"Yun Zhi, do you really not care about your brother's life or death?" Qi Yan'an said gritting his teeth.
Facing Qi Yan'an's questioning, Yun Zhi just snorted coldly, her voice unquestionable, "My world will not be threatened by anyone!"
Then, Yun Zhi turned to look at Yun Jingxian, "Brother, I will remember everything you have done for An Guo, so you can go with peace of mind."
While Qi Yan'an was thinking about a countermeasure in his mind, he didn't notice that after Yun Zhi's eyes briefly met Yun Jingxian, she glanced down quickly and unnoticeably.
But I didn't think too much about it even if I noticed it.
However, Yun Jingxian, who had been with Yun Zhi for so many years, reacted immediately when he saw this implicit look.
So, after blinking imperceptibly, he immediately opened his voice and shouted towards Yun Zhi, "Sister, come on, I'm not afraid. I can also be considered to have sacrificed my life for my country."
Knowing that Yun Jingxian understood what she meant, Yun Zhi quickly moved the bow and arrow slightly to the left before releasing the bowstring.
In this way, the feather arrow that was originally shot towards Yun Jingxian's chest turned into Qi Yan'an's wrist.
Yun Zhi had just observed that Qi Yan'an was wearing armor and except for his hands and face, the rest of his body was tightly wrapped in armor.
Therefore, if you want to make him drop the dagger in pain, you can only attack from those two places.
The wrist is the best place.
With a whoosh, the sharp arrow flew towards Qi Yan'an like lightning.
Qi Yan'an only felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and the dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yun Jingxian broke free from his restraints, kicked Qi Yan'an, then quickly rushed to the edge of the city wall and jumped down.
The look Yun Zhi gave her when she glanced down just now was telling him to jump off the city wall in a moment.
The moment Yun Jingxian jumped down, Zhou Yifeng, who was always ready, tapped his toes lightly, flew up like an arrow, and caught Yun Jingxian steadily.
After successfully catching it, he immediately brought Yun Jingxian back to the team.
At this moment, Yun Zhi quickly gave the order, "Throw the Sky-shaking Bomb!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunder bombs were thrown onto the city wall.
There was a loud "boom" and the city wall was suddenly engulfed in flames and filled with smoke.
Everything happened in a flash. When Qi Yan'an was still holding the wrist that was injured by the arrow, he was shocked by the sudden change and almost fell down.
Looking at the feather arrow still stuck in his wrist, Qi Yan'an didn't even frown. He reached out and grabbed the tail end of the feather arrow and pulled it out.
In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground from the wound.
After throwing the feather arrow aside, he tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around his wrist. Then he drew his sword and roared, "Hold steady!"
However, it is not easy to stay calm under the power of the thunder bomb.
After several consecutive thunder bombs were thrown, there were only a few soldiers left who could stand.
Yun Zhi saw the right moment and shouted, "Attack the city!"
Hundreds of thousands of Anguo troops rushed to the city wall like a flood, set up ladders and climbed up bravely.
After so many battles, the gap between Liao's military strength and An's military strength had already widened.
After a while, the city wall was breached by An Guo's army.
Qi Yan'an led the remaining subordinates, fighting and retreating, and only got a chance to catch his breath when he retreated to the next city.
Next, An Guo launched an unstoppable offensive.
Yun Zhi commanded the army to pursue all the way, not giving Qi Yan'an any chance to breathe.
In late February of the following year, An Guo's army attacked the Liao imperial city.
Now, as long as he can successfully break through this last line of defense - the Liao Imperial City, An Guo will be able to realize his grand ambition of unifying the world.
And the war and conflict that lasted for nearly fourteen years can finally come to an end.
The whole world will also fall into Yun Zhi's pocket.
