Chapter 371 Showdown 3

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the war between the frontier and the Pure Spirits has been going on for nearly eight months, from the cold winter to the hot summer, and now it is early autumn weather, the weather on the frontier seems to be colder than usual.
The reason why Gu Wanyan can open her mouth and exhale a breath is thanks to the previous reinforcement of the city wall. Therefore, even after nearly two months of attack, the enemy's forces still couldn't break through the city.
Perhaps it's because this war has been lasting too long, so the soldiers from Miaojiang feel a bit tired. They also find it difficult to adapt to the climate in the Central Plains. When the weather turns cold, they have a hard time coping!
"Has there been any news from the Miao area?"
Gu Wanyan sat on the cold city wall, leaning her head on Jun Jinnian's shoulder, and every time she spoke, she would exhale white breath.
"No, I haven't received any messages from them since six months ago."
"Now it has been six months, and it's impossible not to have received any messages. Although their plan seems difficult to implement, fortunately they have an insider in the Clear Spirit laboratory, so any challenges should be overcome."
"I feel that we can't hold the frontier for much longer. If the plan doesn't succeed, our last resort would be to let those orphans act in advance!"
With a hint of helplessness in her tone, Gu Wanyan knew that the frontier had been guarded by the Mu family for generations. If the frontier were to be lost, it would surely be a cause of great sorrow for Mu Xuanji and his father.
Compared to Mu Mansion, this place feels more like their home. They have put all their efforts into it. In the past, this place has experienced many wars, but no one from any other country has been able to enter Taihui Kingdom from here.
This is the reason why Taihui Guoli has stood here for hundreds of years without decline, because there is the protection of the Mu family, the border is stable, and the emperor can focus on dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty.
"Perhaps, until the very last moment, no one knows if there will be a turning point."
Jun Jin Nian knew she was sad, and she was comforting her because she was sad for Mu Feihan. Resisting the Qing Po matter is not only the responsibility of Gu Wanyan and others, but also the responsibility of everyone behind them.
If they can have such awareness at that time, perhaps there is still hope for everything.
"Boom!!"
The loud sound of artillery fire woke up Gu Wanyan, who was sleeping. She almost instantly stood up, but found herself not on the city wall and didn't know when Jun Jiannian had carried her into the room.
Gu Wanyan immediately put on her clothes and ran towards the wall. The artillery fire hit the wall, bursting into sparks that illuminated the dark sky. She ran up the wall along the steps.
"What's going on? How did they suddenly start attacking? We've had a ceasefire for five days already."
Gu Wanyan looked at Jun Jinnian with confusion. Jun Jinnian was also not sure how they suddenly launched an attack, and the momentum was fierce, as if they were determined not to stop until they took down the border city.
"This is a letter sent from the border on the north side. After thinking this through, I decided to let you have a look."
With confusion, Gu Wanyan took the letter from Jun Jinnian's hand. She quickly opened the letter, glanced over its contents, and then Jun Jinnian felt that the person beside him seemed somewhat uneasy.
He turned his head and saw Gu Wanyan holding the letter tightly, staring angrily. She looked towards Qingpo, and her eyes were filled with hatred.
She will never let Qīng Pò go! That letter was written by her grandfather to Gù Wǎnyán. Originally, Mù Xuánjī intended to show Gù Wǎnyán the letter after the war ended, but Jūn Jǐnnián was worried that she wouldn't have the chance to show her, so she decided to let Gù Wǎnyán see the letter in advance.
This letter is included here because Mu Xuanji has sacrificed in this war! This is the last letter Mu Xuanji left for Gu Wanyan!
Mu Xuanji has become a casualty in this war. He had already retired from the military after receiving the emperor's decree. But now that the country is in trouble, he volunteered again. However, he is no longer the young man who once dominated the battlefield. The prolonged war has exhausted all aspects of Mu Xuanji, and it is not easy for him to withstand a few more months!
Mu Xuanji is a relative of Gu Wanyan, and the warmth given to Gu Wanyan by the Mu Residence is more than what the Gu Family has given her in over ten years of living together, so she is having a hard time accepting Mu Xuanji's death, which is also understandable.
Gu Yanyan turned around and ran down to the city wall, and Jun Jinnian immediately chased after her. He knew exactly what she was going to do!
Just as Gu Yanyan's hand was about to reach the city gate, she was stopped by someone, and she struggled.
"Let go of me! Let me go and kill him!"
"Even if you want to kill him, you should consider your own strength! If you go like this, you will just be going to your death!"
Jin Nian's voice was calm. He knew that Gu Wanyan was angry and sad, and he could understand. But the fact remained that Gu Wanyan was just going like that, nothing more than going to die.
"Then I will avenge my great-grandfather's uncle too! Great-grandfather's explanation is too simple, saying that he died willingly, but it was clearly caused by a clear soul!"
"Gu Wanyan seemed to have completely lost her sanity, roaring like a trapped beast!"
"Yan Yan, if you believe in me, stay by my side, don't go anywhere. I understand you are feeling difficult right now, but if I really lose you, the pain will be a hundred times worse than your current emotions. Stay here, trust me, Qing Po will definitely die!"
Jin Jinnian tightly hugged Gu Wanyan from behind, his voice gentle and slowly soothing Gu Wanyan's anger, and she gradually calmed down.
Yes, if she died, what would happen to her two sons? What would happen to Jin Jinnian? Thinking about these, she also calmed down. She must seek revenge, but not in such a reckless way!
"I understand, I will find a good way to get revenge!"
Gu Wanyan's voice was hoarse. Jun Jinnian also brought her along. Gu Wanyan walked up to the city wall and aimed her crossbow at the enemy camp. After shooting the arrows, she quickly loaded new ones!
"Boom!"
A loud noise came, and the city wall collapsed unexpectedly. Gu Wanyan's heart sank. The collapse of the city wall meant that the border city was lost!
"Have all the civilians from the cities behind been evacuated?!"
Gu Wanyan looked at Wentin behind him and saw his helplessness with the current situation. He immediately spoke up.
"They have already been arranged to evacuate to the imperial city long ago. The city is almost empty now. Should we evacuate too?!"
For Ferghana, Wen Ting also has emotions. This is the place where he has lived and grown up since childhood. If they retreat, it means that this place will be razed to the ground!
“放心吧，这里好不容易建起来的，我不会轻易的毁掉的，这里不仅对你，对我的家人有着同样重要的意义！”
温庭点点头，这里是顾菀颜唯一舍不得毁掉的地方，她相信他们最后一定会胜利的，这里的一切，他们最后一定能够夺回来的！
"We can't withdraw! If we can't hold this place, what will happen to the millions of people in the imperial city?!"
Sujian also doesn't want to leave here, but in the current situation, even if we hold on, it will only result in more soldiers being injured or killed!
"Aunt, retreat, do you think we can hold on?"
Sujian followed Gu Wanyan's gaze and saw that the enemy soldiers had already started attacking the soldiers of the Taixuan Kingdom along the collapsed city wall.
Those half-human, half-animal creatures have also joined the battle. Although these half-human, half-animal creatures charge and rampage, they will self-destruct as soon as they are attacked, causing harm to the majority of the soldiers!
Sujian knows that if the situation continues like this, they will be completely defeated, and no one will be able to escape!
"Let's go quickly!"
Gu Wanyan reluctantly took Su Jian away, and Shanspirit followed closely behind. Jun Jinnian stayed behind to hold the enemy back. This time, they only destroyed the exit of the border city to prevent them from catching up. Qingpo didn't understand why they chose to preserve this city. Could it be that there is some secret here that they cannot afford to lose?
Gu Wanyan watched as they did not chase after him, so he immediately headed towards the next city. After resting here for a few days, there was still no sign of Qing Po and his army catching up. Gu Wanyan also thought about the reason behind this.
Quing Po is probably exploring what secrets are hidden in that city, but he would never have expected the reason why they preserved that city. It is simply because this city holds great significance for all of them.
Although the war lasted for eight months, the Qing army has always been overwhelming in terms of absolute power, but so far, the only gain they have obtained is the intact city of Biancheng.
When Gu Wanyan and the others were waiting for Qing Po to arrive, it was already five days later. However, this attack lasted only three days because Qing Po did not have enough gunpowder to continue attacking them.
However, Qingpo is not worried because their reinforcement of gunpowder will arrive soon. At that time, he will definitely advance with great enthusiasm and directly attack the imperial city of Taihui Kingdom!
However, the fact is as such, they only managed to defend these cities for two months. Now, Gu Wanyan is standing on the city wall of the imperial city of Taihui, looking down at the invading army, feeling somewhat worried in her heart.
They have been waiting for news from the Miao region for the past few months, but have gained nothing. If their plan is not successful, it will be difficult for them to defend the imperial city.
Wan Yan turned her head to look towards Jun Jin Nian. His face seemed calm, as if everything was within his expectations.
"Are you afraid?"
Wan Yan held Jun Jin Nian's hand and spoke softly. Jun Jin Nian shook his head and tightly held onto Wan Yan's hand in return.
"As long as I am with you, I am not afraid. In fact, I want to thank you for giving me such adorable and sensible two sons, for giving me so much love and warmth. I love you."
