Chapter 305: Lookout

"Mrs. Shen, have you seen the army formations below the city? Your son is right there, and your life is in your own hands. Life or death depends on you and your son. Does he have you in his heart?"

Mother Shen's face turned pale. She knew that something bad would happen if the damned Hu Gou caught them!

Sure enough, when she stepped onto the towering city wall and saw the flag with the word "Shen" hanging high below, she knew it.

Looking at the innocent and harmless face of Commander Hu Gou in front of her, Mother Shen snorted coldly, closing her eyes and not looking at the city below or the disgusting faces around her.

Jueluo Luo was very displeased with Shen's mother's attitude, but he claimed to be the most powerful Baturu in the royal court of his tribe, and he disdained to be violent towards women, so he still patiently persuaded her.

"Mrs. Shen, there is no need to resist like this. To use the words of you Dajing people, even ants try to survive, let alone humans. You may not be afraid, but what about the people behind you? Aren't they afraid too?
I don't want to touch you, and I don't even bother to touch a woman. If you know what's best for you, shout it out. If you can make your son stop fighting, Madam Shen, I will personally escort you and your family out of the city and won't touch a hair on your head. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."

Mother Shen looked at Jue Luo Luo and swept her eyes away one by one. Finally, her sight fell on her daughter. Mother Shen's heart trembled. She glared at Jue Luo Luo and spat, "Bah, despicable and shameless!"

Being spat on, Jueluoluo was caught off guard. He reached out to wipe his face, his eyes flickering with shame, anger and uncontrollable anger. "Okay, very good! Since you don't want to drink toasts... Come on, blow the horn and beat the drum."

As he finished speaking, the unique horn sound that was only heard when the Hu Di attacked was heard from the city wall. The drum on the city wall that had experienced wind and rain was also beaten by the Hu people, instantly attracting the attention of the Dajing army below.

On the city gate, Shen Yue and all the generals and soldiers behind him looked up at the tower. Cheng Su, who was brought by Shen Yue and was on the battlefield for the first time after training, approached Shen Yue and asked, "General, is the enemy going to open the city gate and challenge our army?"

Shen Yue squinted his eyes, looked at the city wall in front of him, and shook his head.

"It doesn't look like that. Given the Hudi's character, they rarely fight against our army. Moreover, their army is stationed in the city and they have just surrounded it. The soldiers and horses in the city are strong and there should be enough food and grass. Why would Yuan go out of the city to meet the enemy? I'm afraid it's a trick."

"There's a trick?" What trick?

Cheng Su was looking at Shen Yue in confusion when suddenly, a young general beside him, who was known for his keen eyesight, pointed to the center of the tower ahead and said excitedly, "General, look, there is a person on the tower ahead!"

A person? What person?

Everyone looked carefully and were all stunned.

What is a person? It is obviously one, two, three... many people!
In this brief moment, the city wall in front began to spread to both sides from the central lookout, and many people stood on it one after another, old and young, male and female, many, all wearing their Dajing costumes.

The generals were surprised, "What tricks is Hu Gou playing now?"

Yeah, what tricks is Hu Gou playing?
For a moment, everyone in the army felt that the scene before them was a little puzzling, and they couldn't help but wonder secretly, could it be that Hu Gou had captured some Dajing people in the city and pushed them out to die?
Only Shen Yue looked at the figure that first appeared at the lookout in the center of the city wall from afar. He felt that it was extremely familiar and suddenly felt uneasy.

On the city wall, Jueluo Luo, who had forcefully pushed Shen's mother to the lookout, gave another order.

"Come here, some people who can speak Dajing Mandarin, shout to me, tell Shen Yue that his mother and his clansmen are in my hands. If he knows what's good for him, he will withdraw his troops and surrender. I promise that I will never hurt his family and will release them all after the battle. Otherwise, as long as the Dajing army comes one step closer, today will be the day his mother and his entire clan will die." "Yes."

Following Jueluo Luo's order, the sounds of trumpets and drums stopped, and more than twenty strong men who could speak Dajing Mandarin came out and hid behind the Shen family. They shouted in unison with full energy, conveying Jueluo Luo's words in an extremely arrogant manner.

At first, the sound was far away and spread slowly, so the people below the city had not heard it. But as the sound became clearer and clearer, the soldiers in the vanguard array were all furious when they heard the shout.

Everyone looked at the more than one hundred people standing high on the city wall, and then turned back to see the commander's flag behind them. They were all worried and the morale of the army was in unrest.

What made everyone even more frightened was that after their general heard clearly what was being shouted on the city wall, he actually rode out of the formation alone and rushed forward, which made the generals around him suddenly change color.

"General..."

"General, there is danger ahead, within the enemy's firing range..."

However, Shen Yue could not hear the concern and shouting behind him. His heart was pounding, and his eyes were fixed on the figure in front of him. He tried his best to get closer and closer to see if the person above him was really his relative, his mother...

Seeing their leader not even turning his head, the people behind him immediately followed him on horseback, shouting, "General, stop. Be careful of a trick."

"General..."

Jueluo Luo, who had been observing from the city wall, saw that the army below was in chaos and smiled triumphantly. He even raised his hand to let the archers get ready. As long as the wolf cub came within the range, he would be shot down without return.

Once the commander falls, the enemy's army will be in chaos, and there will be no need for me to lower my status and take advantage of a bunch of old, weak, women and children.

Shen's mother, who was being held at the lookout, realized Jueluo's evil intentions. She became anxious and didn't care about her own safety, or even the towering city wall that had frightened her just now. She stretched her neck and shouted at the top of her lungs at the familiar figure that was leading the way in the distance.

"Yue'er, Yue'er, stop, stop quickly, Yue'er, listen to your mother, stop and go back quickly, go back! Yue'er, Yue'er, don't be impulsive, don't make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy, stop, Yue'er, stop..."

Unfortunately, Shen's mother was a woman with limited strength. The north wind was howling on the tower. Even though Shen's mother tried her best, her voice was blown away by the whistling north wind. The people moving forward rapidly below did not stop. Seeing the figures getting closer and closer, and the line of arrows extending on both sides of her body that had collapsed to the extreme, Shen's mother burst into tears, and her voice became louder and louder, "Yue'er, stop, stop quickly!"

Shen's mother was desperate and burst into tears.

Shen Yue, who was running as hard as he could, only heard a series of broken sounds in the wind. Seeing the limit of the Hu army's bows and arrows, Shen Yue suddenly stopped, reined in his horse and kept standing still. At this moment and place, he could clearly see the figures pinned down on the city wall, and he could see clearly that the person in the center was his own mother.

On the city wall, his mother kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes. Shen Yue felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and his eyes were bloodshot. The generals and vanguard battalion behind him rushed over and surrounded their commander in an instant.

Jueluo Luo looked at the people below and secretly said what a pity, the wolf cub was too cautious.
