Rong Ruo knew that Yun Xiao was very stubborn. Especially at a time when life and death were at stake, Yun Xiao would not go to rest until she received news of safety. She could only have someone move a chair to let Yun Xiao sit and rest.

Yun Xiao originally wanted to bandage the soldiers, but Rong Ruo stopped her.

Looking at the battle on the city tower, some of the soldiers shot down with sharp arrows, while others brandished their swords and chopped towards the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty who were climbing up. For a moment, their noses were filled with a thick smell of blood.

Batch after batch of soldiers climbed up the city walls, replacing another batch of soldiers to rest, slowly forming a cycle of reincarnation.

Yun Xiao saw teams of injured people being carried down from the city tower, and her expression became even more embarrassed. The corner of her mouth even outlined a strange expression, and her pair of Gujing Wubo’s eyes were also a bit deeper.

I wonder how long this war will last!

Now, I wonder how the five thousand elite soldiers who had left Border City and fought against the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were doing?

Yun Xiao only felt a little wet in front of her, but Yun Xiao still didn’t say a word, only her expression became more resolute.

Right at this moment, a wisp of white fish belly appeared in the sky. Unknowingly, dawn was approaching.

Counting the hours, it was already the time.

“Why did it pass so quickly?” Yun Xiao frowned and subconsciously murmured.

“Fortunately,” Rong Ruo replied softly. She glanced at the sky that was still gloomy even though it had a fishy white belly, and her expression became a little strange. She summoned the soldiers and asked in a loud voice, “How are the casualties now?”

“Your Majesty, there are twelve thousand casualties and four thousand deaths in the city. If we continue fighting, I’m afraid we can only last until noon tomorrow.” The rest of the soldiers did not say anything, but everyone knew that if they still could not wait for the rescue people to arrive at noon tomorrow, they would only be captured.

Yun Xiao frowned, then said, “What about the Eastern Jin Dynasty? How many troops did the Eastern Jin Dynasty lose?”

“The casualties in the Eastern Jin Dynasty are estimated at 20,000,” the soldier said, his expression becoming even more embarrassed.

Although the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were killed and wounded above them, Yun Xiao clearly knew that the enemy had 50,000 troops, and they only had 30,000 troops. Now, they had 30,000 troops left, but the number of people on their side was less than 20,000.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao’s expression was also very embarrassed. Then, she whispered, “Let’s go down first.”

Once the soldiers left, Rong Ruo immediately said, “Mother, don’t worry. In this battle, if we take the initiative to attack, we will definitely severely injure the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.”

Yun Xiao smiled indifferently. She also hoped that this would be the case, but Yun Xiao did not have such confidence. “Wait a bit longer.”

As long as it’s not the last minute, you can’t admit defeat easily!

Moreover, they could still last until noon today. Perhaps Rong Jin would be back before noon, and perhaps reinforcements would come.

Yun Xiao nodded, not letting Rong Ruo worry.

At this moment, drizzling rain began to drift in the sky, sprinkling all over Border City.

Yun Xiao took a quick step forward and reached out to catch the raindrops. The feeling of the raindrops falling on her palms was cold, but it was very comfortable.

She muttered to herself, “It’s raining …”

The rain proved that this battle would be even harder to fight.

However, this was not just more difficult for the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The people of Country of Xiyue guarding the city was relatively simple, but the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacking the city was at least a little more difficult.

“I hope it can rain harder.” As long as it rains harder, it will be a good thing for them. Now, Yun Xiao only hopes that those people can retreat despite the difficulties!

A trace of caution appeared on Rong Ruo’s face as she whispered, “I hope that the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will retreat for the sake of rain.”

Yun Xiao also nodded. However, Yun Xiao did not have much hope.

Sure enough, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had no intention of withdrawing their troops.

Two hours later, the sky was already bright.

Yun Xiao watched as the rain in front of her became heavier and heavier. From the drizzling rain to the heavy rain now, she saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier. There was a strong intention of wandering in the rain, but the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Jin Dynasty still did not send any news of withdrawal.

Yun Xiao frowned more and more tightly. If this continued, there would be fewer people in West Vietnam, and they would probably break the city if they could not last until noon!

Rong Ruo was also very anxious. She looked in Yun Xiao’s direction and whispered, “Mother, you wait here first. I’ll go up to the city tower to command.” Seeing more and more wounded soldiers coming down from the city wall, Rong Ruo’s expression became more and more embarrassed.

Yun Xiao knew that at this critical juncture, Rong Ruo’s identity determined that Rong Ruo absolutely could not retreat. She held Rong Ruo’s hand tightly and said softly, “Ruo Ruo, Nuo Nuo and Tong Tong are waiting for you to return.”

“Mother, don’t worry, I will definitely return safely!” After Rong Ruo finished speaking, she took the umbrella handed over by the guard and walked into the rain.

Yun Xiao stared at Rong Ruo’s resolute back and her expression was extremely embarrassed. She kept thinking in her heart, Rong Jin, where exactly are you? Are you coming back soon?

If he didn’t come back, Yun Xiao was unsure if she would be able to see him again.

Jiang’er saw the silence on Yun Xiao’s face and knew what Yun Xiao was thinking. She comforted him softly and said, “Princess, master will definitely be safe.”

Yun Xiao nodded, but her voice was very low.

Hearing the sounds of fighting and killing coming from the surroundings, Yun Xiao quickly shifted her attention to the battlefield in front of her. Occasionally, she would ask the soldiers to see how the battle was going.

Hearing the soldiers say that the war was getting fiercer and fiercer, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed. However, she did not show it.

Yun Xiao frowned as she watched the batch of wounded people being lifted down from the city tower. Just by looking at the increasing number of wounded people, Yun Xiao knew that the enemy had increased their offensive.

As Yun Xiao frowned, she immediately said to Jiang’er beside her, “Go and ask all the soldiers who are resting to help immediately!”

Originally, these soldiers guarding the city had come to rest in batches. This would be ordered by Yun Xiao. No one dared to rest anymore and immediately climbed up the city wall to fight against the enemy.

“Princess, now that everyone has gone up, what should we do in the future?” Jiang’er said with a look of embarrassment.

Yun Xiao had a thought in her heart and whispered, “If my guess is correct, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty should withdraw.” Otherwise, under such a drifting rain, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty would not increase their offensive for no reason!

Hearing Yun Xiao’s analysis, Jiang’er’s eyes were filled with joy. She also felt that what Yun Xiao said was reasonable.

Sure enough, as Yun Xiao had expected, after the enemy had held on for less than half an hour, due to the drifting rain, they had to retreat first!

“Princess, Princess, we’ve defended the border city!” Liu’er ran in with a happy expression.

Yun Xiao smiled calmly and said softly, “Hurry up and see how the Emperor is doing.”

“Yes,” Liu’er quickly ran out again.

Yun Xiao looked at Liu’er’s cheerful figure and frowned slightly. Now that she had defended the border city, Yun Xiao still did not dare to let down her guard, because perhaps at some point, Country of Xiyue’s troops would come back.

Yun Xiao immediately sent someone to soften the wounded. The city gate was also wide open, and the five thousand elite soldiers who had left the city to fight had also returned.

Yun Xiao looked at those people. Because their clothes were drenched by the heavy rain, they looked very tired. However, everyone was standing upright and energetic at this moment.

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned when she roughly looked at the people who had turned around. These five thousand troops had actually lost half of their people!

This person from the Eastern Jin Dynasty was also very powerful in battle!

Just as Yun Xiao was thinking, she saw two figures walking towards the next room. She frowned slightly. Yun Xiao was not mistaken. Behind the two of them, there was Rong Ruo’s small figure. Yun Xiao immediately said, “Jiang’er, take me to the next room to take a look.”

Jiang’er did not see Rong Ruo hiding behind the two soldiers and immediately replied, “Yes.”

When Yun Xiao and Jiang’er arrived next door, they saw Jiang Li bandaging Rong Ruo’s arm. They were slightly stunned and immediately rushed forward. With a worried expression, they said, “Ruo Ruo, are you injured?”

Rong Ruo hid behind the soldier. She didn’t want Yun Xiao to know about her injuries. She didn’t expect that she hadn’t concealed anything from Yun Xiao’s eyes. She could only whisper, “It’s just a small injury, nothing serious.”

Seeing Rong Ruo’s pale face, Yun Xiao expressed her disbelief at Rong Ruo’s words. She directly walked to Jiang Li’s side and whispered, “Lord Jiang, how is Ruo Ruo’s injury?”

Jiang Li glanced at Rong Ruo. Seeing that Rong Ruo blinked at him, he immediately said, “Your Majesty’s injury is only a minor injury. It will be healed after a few days of rest. There is nothing serious to it. Besides, the medicine I gave to Your Majesty is the best. In less than three days, this injury will be completely healed.”

Seeing Jiang Li say the same thing, Yun Xiao finally felt relieved. “Ruo Ruo, how did you get hurt?”

Rong Ruo smiled and said, “Someone shot me with an arrow. I didn’t dodge it for a while and was shot. However, I reacted quickly, so I only scratched my skin. There’s nothing serious about it.” Now that the battle is over, Rong Ruo can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Not long after he ascended to the throne, he began to fight. Fortunately, he was only in danger.

“That’s good. Arrange everything here. I’ll bring you back to rest.” After Rong Ruo finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Li and whispered, “Lord Jiang, I’ll leave the rest of the aftermath to you.”

Jiang Li immediately agreed. Then, he took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and handed it to Yun Xiao. He said softly, “Princess, your body is very weak now. Take the medicine first, then rest, and then your body will recover quickly.”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao did not refuse and immediately brought the medicine over.

Now, after winning this battle, she could also breathe a sigh of relief. Although their side suffered heavy losses, the troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also suffered heavy losses!
