From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 902

In Chikan City, the sound of cannons has stopped.

Three miles away, countless people were sitting on the ground, looking embarrassed and depressed, and the atmosphere was extremely dull.

Under the cover of a large army, the death squad launched an attack on the city gate, but was met with strong resistance from the other side, with huge cannons, bows and arrows, flintlock guns, gold juice and rolling stones.

With sufficient resources for the other side to defend the city, the first wave of the death squad not only failed to pose a threat, but also lost more than a hundred people, which was a huge blow to everyone's self-confidence.

In fact, Zhou Yuan was also in extreme danger during this attack. If it weren't for his martial arts and deep internal strength, he would have been sharp enough in the complex battle situation and strong enough to hold the wooden shield all the time, otherwise his end would not be too good.

His self-confidence was also hit.

But in the face of a dangerous situation, his Tao heart became more determined.

In the face of the turbulent sea, the true nature of a hero is revealed.

The more difficult and dangerous the time, the more you have to stand up and hold everyone tightly.

Zhou Yuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "At night, we will organize another surprise attack."

"The main force will be divided into groups of 2,000 people each, and they will take turns to attack the front and not give the other side time to rest."

"I will lead the death squad and quietly climb up from the southern tower. Whether they are discovered or not, at least they will not have too many people."

Everyone looked at each other, saw the black ash on Zhou Yuan's face from the artillery fire, and then nodded slowly.

They had nothing to be dissatisfied with, because the marshal also rushed, just like everyone else.

The marshal can charge and is not afraid of death? Can we still be afraid of death?

Zhang Fei stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "My lord, I will lead the exploration team and the martial arts masters to launch a surprise attack from the northern tower."

"After the frontal battlefield breaks out, we will launch a surprise attack within half a quarter of an hour. Please ask my lord and the death squad to launch another surprise attack after half a quarter of an hour to catch the enemy by surprise and attack them by surprise."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That's it."

"Everyone, victory will not be that easy, and it is not that easy to defeat the Dutch."

"At this moment, it is not just us who are persisting."

"The sound of artillery fire on the sea has never stopped. My Great Jin, Fujian and Guangdong Navy is fighting a life-and-death battle with more than a dozen warships of the Portuguese. . "

"In the distant sea, the Chaozhou merchant fleet should have encountered the Dutch battleships."

"More people from the Fujian and Guangdong Navy are rushing to this sea, intending to participate in this mighty war."

"Devote all their lives, fight bravely, sacrifice their lives, go forward one after another, and move forward... That's for Dongfan Island! For everyone's future!"

"At least, in the future, we can no longer be pigs, dogs, cows and sheep."

"At least, we have to live like humans!"

In the dark night, the flames illuminated everyone's eyes, and their eyes reflected the blazing light, and the blood in their bodies boiled.

If it weren't for Zhou Yuan, they might have been shattered by the cannons and scattered like birds and beasts.

But this is the power of example, this is the power of leaders, stand up, tie their hearts tightly, twist them into a rope, and move towards the ultimate goal.

Looking at the various faces, Zhou Yuan shouted: "Prepare for battle! In two quarters of an hour! Attack!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tens of thousands of people roared, as if to dispel fear and inspire courage to the extreme.

...

Running, all the internal force in the body burst out, and the martial arts that dominated the world were no longer reserved at this moment.

Li Yu'an took every step for several feet, leaving a trail of afterimages in the forest, like a startled wild goose passing over the earth.

She completely ignored the consumption, she still thought it was not fast enough.

In the dark night, the horse ran too slowly, so she had to give up riding and rushed away with powerful internal force.

The wind kept hitting her face, mixed with fallen leaves, and every touch made her tremble with fear.

Because her heart was already trembling, even if she ran with all her strength, she could not divert the panic and fear.

In this dark world, she was alone, and countless scenes came to her mind.

When she was young, she always liked to curl up in her mother's arms and secretly eat snacks with the care of her mother and father. She felt safe and sweet.

My brothers were very kind to me. They would secretly take me out of the palace, take me to ride horses and hunt, and buy all kinds of folk toys to make me happy.

But why can't I remember those things? Many things are slowly forgotten with the passage of time.

My father, who always forced a stern face but couldn't help laughing, was shot to death by arrows.

My kind mother committed suicide by jumping into a well in front of me.

My brothers took me out of the palace and fell one after another.

All died.

More than two years ago, the Eastern Tartars arrived.Goryeo, my only remaining cousin also died.

Except for the sister who became a nun, I have no relatives anymore.

I have been wandering for half a lifetime, and I am alone wherever I go.

Restoration of the country, restoration of the country, only restoration of the country and revenge in my mind, no other thoughts.

Until that person appeared, talking about the dynasty's plan in Lingyin Temple, his confident appearance was really likable.

He was only eighteen years old, but he was full of power, which made people trust him.

In Shenjing, in the Central Plains, and in Xiangzhou, his wisdom, persistence and ideals were witnessed.

But only on the road to the north, in the freezing snow, in the howling cold wind, can we really see his essence.

My father once said that to see the essence of a person, we must see whether he can stick to morality, maintain his mentality, and whether he can take responsibility when he is in extreme difficulties.

Because in extreme difficulties, most people will give up on themselves, escape, find excuses to cover up their incompetence, and expose countless shortcomings.

Li Yu'an did not see Zhou Yuan's shortcomings. What she saw was a tenacious soul that bravely moved forward in the ice and snow, and she saw the optimism of life in the abyss looking directly at the future.

Her heart slowly lost and attached to that person.

It seemed to have happened a long time ago, but it seemed to have happened yesterday.

Because it was too painful.

The fear and pain of losing filled her heart.

The messy thoughts made her forget the time. She only knew that it was still dark, and she only knew that she had been running for a long time.

She was very tired, but she heard the sound of cannons!

Every roar seemed to explode in her heart, making her despair.

Zhou Yuan... You clearly guessed that the other party had a cannon, so you sent me away.

She rushed forward frantically, and finally saw the fire and heard countless roars of charging.

She rushed over and shouted: "Little nephew! Little nephew!"

She didn't see anyone.

In the crowd, countless figures passed by her in the flames.

She stood there stupidly, tears bursting out.

"In the south! The tower in the south! Miss Li!"

Cai Husheng's voice woke Li Yu'an up from a dream. She didn't bother to respond and ran towards the tower in the south.

She stumbled and fell to the ground, covered in mud.

She didn't care, she suddenly got up and ran forward.

Finally, in the bombardment of artillery fire, she saw the embarrassed figure.

The night was so dark, she recognized the little nephew at a glance.

She finally shouted, "Come back! Come back!"

Zhou Yuan turned around, his face changed drastically, and he shouted, "What are you doing here! Go away! I'll lead my brothers to charge!"

Li Yu'an shouted, "I'll go with you!"

She rushed over, but Zhou Yuan rushed over and held her shoulders.

Zhou Yuan panted and said hurriedly, "Sister Virgin Mary, time is running out and I can't say much. Now I'm going to lead my brothers to charge. You just wait here and don't follow me."

Li Yu'an said, "I won't. I want to protect you..."

"You can't stop the shells!"

Zhou Yuan shouted, "You always listen to me. Can you listen to me this time? It's inevitable to charge in a war. If you are too concerned, you will be confused. Don't move here."

Li Yu'an pulled him hard and shook her head, saying, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid something will happen to you. I only have you... Can't I not go? We'll slowly figure it out!"

Zhou Yuan said, "There's no time. We can't open up the situation here before we can open up the situation on the other side of Guanlu. The Fujian-Guangdong Navy can't hold on for long."

"The situation at sea is complicated now. The island pirates are also attacking Goryeo. The problem of the Eastern Tartars has not been solved. We can't provide support on land. Time is running out. We must take Chikan City as quickly as possible."

"Goryeo is in danger. Don't you want to restore your country, Virgin Sister? We can go there after we finish fighting here!"

"Think about the people of Goryeo, waiting for me here..."

After Zhou Yuan finished speaking, he broke free from her hand and rushed forward.

The artillery fire bombarded down and exploded beside him. He staggered and continued to move forward.

But this scene almost took away Li Yu'an's soul.

Finally, she couldn't help but yelled, "I won't restore my country!"

"Zhou Yuan! Come back! I won't restore my country! I don't want anything! I just want you to live!"

Zhou Yuan looked back in shock, and he saw a face covered in mud, embarrassed, tired, miserable, fearful, and with tears.

Restoring her country has always been her greatest wish. She has devoted her youth to it, wandered for half her life, and suffered hardships.

She has never given up.

At this moment, she actually gave up...

Zhou Yuan said, "Don't say such things, wait for me..."

Li Yu'an burst into tears, and no longer cared about so much, and ran forward.

She hugged Zhou Yuan and said in a trembling voice, "I won't restore my countryI want you to be alive."

"You are my country."
