Under Zhang Yu's explicit ban, the news of the fierce attack of the army outside the city has not yet spread in the palace.

There was still peace and tranquility in the harem. The only difference was that the Imperial Guards guarding the Palace, except for some of the Imperial Guards who were transferred to assist in the city defense and the regular guarding gates, most of the other troops were transferred by the Guard Lu Yong to protect the harem.

At the same time, the Luoyang Order also sent all his servants out to patrol the city to appease the restless people's hearts, and guard against the fine works that might be ambushed in the city.

Most of the people in the city did not know the details of the enemy troops outside the city. With the several appeasements of Luoyang Order and Weiwei, and the long-term trust in the court, there was no major riot.

"Prince Qian..."

Lu Yong stopped Qian Li, who had just left the palace in a hurry.

Qian Li saw that it was him, and immediately saluted, and said anxiously, "What advice do Wei Wei have?"

Lu Yong was also in a hurry and sweated: "It's lunch time now. Most of the defenders on the city tower have not eaten yet, and the enemy troops are already at the city. Lu came to discuss with Captain Qian to open a batch of beef jerky that had just been prepared a few days ago and send it to the city to the soldiers to replenish their strength?"

During the battle, it is naturally impossible to drink a bowl of porridge and eat a few meat pies, but jerky beef is different. This thing can be held in your hands, even on the collar of the armor. When you have time, take a bite and drink some water. For ordinary soldiers, it is already delicious. The key is that this thing can replenish calories and has long been a must-have item in the imperial army.

Qian Li frowned slightly: "The military warehouse is a major country. It is not your Majesty's order. You must not open it without permission. This..."

"Just do as Wei Wei said." A majestic voice came from behind. The two of them looked back and saluted respectfully.

"See the Queen."

Zhang Yu was wearing strong clothes at this time. In addition to the obvious bulge of her abdomen, she looked heroic and brave. She had a long sword in her hand, so she could not let the bearded men.

She came to Qian Li: "Our army is very different, and Sun Ce is brave and powerful, and the pressure to defend the city is already great. If the soldiers fight hungry, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"

Qian Li stood there and did not move: "It was not because the humble minister dared to rebel, but the court had a clear order and the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This military and political affairs are probably not something the queen can interfere with."

Lu Yong looked at him with some surprise, not because of what Qian Li said, but because he was surprised that he could say this without hesitation.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Yu was not angry, but was very relieved.

"Daozhun is worthy of the important minister of the country. Your Majesty has not believed you wrongly, so I can rest assured."

Lu Yong hurriedly said, "What the weir minister said just now..."

Before he could finish his words, Qian Li said: "The war is fierce and dangerous, and it is urgent. As the Sili lieutenant, Qian is responsible for the safety of the entire Sili area. Faced with such urgent matters, he made a quick decision. Even if he violates the rules of the court and is subject to swords and axes in the future, he should be happy."

After saying that, he stood upright and said to Lu Yong: "Please follow me and rush to the military warehouse in Taicang immediately."

Lu Yong was overjoyed: "Okay, go quickly, go quickly."

Just as the two were about to leave, Qian Li suddenly stopped and turned around and asked Zhang Yu: "The Empress is dressing like this, I don't know if she wants to..."

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Why do you have to ask me knowingly?"

Qian Li was full of admiration: "It is really a blessing for the world to have the mother of the country like this."

After saying that, he never stopped a little longer and took Lu Yong away quickly.

Zhang Yu looked at his back: "This money is accurate. It is obvious that he asked someone to spread the Taicang Order early in the morning, but he still pretended to be quite like Wei Wei."

Behind her was a black-faced eunuch in his twenties. He was not tall but very burly. He was carrying a darker steel knife on his back and steel claws on his hands. This was Da Changqiu, who was in charge of all the eunuchs and palace maids in Zhang Yu's palace, named Jin Yue.

Jin Yue said in that obviously depressed voice: "If Wei Wei and Sili were both poor, they were from poverty. I think the Qian Zhengwei would have agreed very readily just now, and it would not be necessary for noble people to come forward to reconcile."

When Zhang Yu heard this, his calm face turned dark in an instant: "Jin Yue, you are very smart. I heard that Zhao Zhong, the leader of the Ten Eunuchs, was also very smart, especially with extraordinary eyesight. A small yellow sect, who can see the situation clearly, give advice for Emperor Huan, and kill Liang Ji, is really a character. Oh, by the way, it seems that he, like you, has also served as Da Changqiu."

Jin Yue knelt down with a "thump". The heavy sound of his knee hitting the ground made the palace maids accompanying him feel that his knees were also a little painful.

"I'm talking too much, I'm talking too much, I'm damn..."

He swung his right hand round, and with a "pop", a bright red palm print immediately appeared on his cheek.

"I'll argue with you after the war."

Zhang Yu turned around and came to the carriage prepared by the palace maids. "Canglang" pulled out his sword, cut off the ropes on the two white horses, picked one of them, and flipped onto the horse's back quickly. Before the palace maids could react, they were already gone.

Seeing this, Jin Yue didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead that had just been so scared, so he hurriedly stepped on another white horse and followed quickly.

Whether it is the literati, eunuch, or woman of the Han Dynasty, they are very different from hundreds or thousands of years later. This kind of thing that is unable to tie a chicken can only be used to describe the genie child in this historical period.

At the west gate, although the counterattack of the Jingshen crossbow was very fierce, the soldiers guarding the city cooperated in an orderly manner and repelled the troops and horses of Jiangdong attacks again and again.

However, the enemy's strength was extremely strong after all, with more than three times the gap in force. In addition, the number of soldiers needed to guard the city walls after several expansions increased greatly. Therefore, after an hour and a half of battle, many of the soldiers guarding the city began to get a little tired, but the enemy continued to attack in batches. The offensive not only did not weaken, but became more and more fierce.

In the rear of the army, Lu Su and Zhou Yu looked at each other, all with helpless expressions.

"Oh, even if we can capture Luoyang City today, our army will be injured, and we will probably not be less than 40,000 to 50,000 people. Once the imperial army counterattacks from Hulao Pass, it will be difficult to defend this city."

Lu Su seemed very worried.

Zhou Yu stared at the battle situation and didn't say anything. His frowning brow could be seen, which was probably similar to Lu Su.

Jiang Qin, the general responsible for protecting the two of them, clearly had a different view from them.

"Why worry about that? I have long heard that Luoyang City is extremely rich, with a population of over 2 million, and every household has surplus grain, and the rich households are everywhere. As long as we attack the city, we will have money, grain and male members. Why worry about not being able to bring up a large army?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qin suddenly pointed to the front of him and shouted happily: "Look, the Major General has climbed the city tower!"

Lu Su and Zhou Yu hurriedly looked over from a distance, and indeed saw Sun Ce jumping, jumping from the ladder to the city tower, and with a shot, he picked up a Han soldier away.

"Hu..." Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you can capture the city earlier, you can always reduce some losses."

He said with a hint of self-comfortable tone.

General Ye saw Sun Ce rushing over and hurriedly shouted: "Go to the shield formation and surround him."

More than a dozen soldiers holding heavy shields quickly surrounded Sun Ce. Then they divided them into three groups, four people in groups, inside and out, surrounding Sun Ce, making him unable to move at all.

"Come on the crossbow arrow." As soon as General Ye stretched out his hand, a soldier handed the Divine Machine Crossbow filled with crossbow arrows to his hand.

General Ye looked at Sun Ce who was struggling desperately and sneered.

"What is Jiangdong Overlord? He is just a reckless and unwise man. Today, he can accomplish the great achievements of a certain family. Let's die."
