"Shut up! The most important thing now is to defend the city, not to fight for personal feelings. We can't let the Nanzhao army step into the Broken Snow Pass. This is the purpose of guarding the border. Wait for the reinforcements! "
The young general looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Can the reinforcements make it in time?" They only had 80,000 soldiers, while the Nanzhao army surrounding them and the Prince of Li's army from Lingzhou outflanked them from behind had at least 300,000 soldiers. Murong Shen was silent for a moment and said firmly, "There's still time, as long as we can defend the Broken Snow Pass. So, don't fight for personal feelings. "
The young general glanced unwillingly at the clamoring Nanzhao soldiers and gritted his teeth, "Yes, General."
"General!" The messenger came in a hurry, "General, it's reported that Lord Wu Chengliang, the general of Yongzhou, led 20,000 soldiers to reinforce. They were ambushed just after crossing the Yun Lan River, and Lord Wu died! "
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. Murong Shen only felt that the world was spinning in front of him. He quickly stabilized himself and said, "How can it be? How can Prince Li be so fast?! "
"Report! General, the Governor of Yongzhou surrendered to Prince Li last night. Early this morning, Prince Li's army broke into Qingyuan City. The vanguard will probably arrive outside Yonglin City this evening. " All the generals were shocked. There weren't many soldiers defending Yongzhou. As the highest official in Yongzhou, the Governor of Yongzhou surrendered to Prince Li. No wonder Prince Li's army could be so powerful all the way. They thought they could delay for ten days, but they were afraid that the Broken Snow Pass would be surrounded in less than two days. Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Murong Shen was so angry that he laughed, "Good! What a good Governor of Yongzhou! Who is willing to defend Yonglin City? "
Several young generals came out at the same time, "General, we are willing to go!"
Murong Shen looked at the young men in front of him who looked serious and nodded, "Good. Yun Ting, Xia Shu, I will give you 20,000 soldiers to defend Yonglin. Understand? "
"Yes, General." The two young men replied in unison. After receiving the military order, they turned around and left. No one asked how they were going to defend Yonglin and how long they would have to defend it for. Looking at the backs of the two young men, Murong Shen glanced at the generals present and said, "We'll do the same. Understand? "
"Yes! General. "
Yonglin City, which was usually quiet, was now in a solemn state. The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and not a single person could be seen on the street. Compared to the stifling and oppressive atmosphere of Shattering Snow Pass, Eternal Forest City was already filled with the glint of blades and shadows of swords. Below the city walls, the soldiers who had set up ladders tried their best to climb up the city walls, but they were forced back down by the people on the city walls with stones and arrows. When the people in front fell, there would naturally be people at the back who would take their places. The soldiers on the city gate tower were also shot down from time to time by the divine archers below, falling to the ground until they were beyond recognition. At this moment, no one cared about these things anymore. Everyone could only crazily kill each other. Everyone had forgotten that they were all from Da Chu State and were once comrades. In a pair, only you die and I live.
"How about it? I'll go up first? "On the city walls, two young generals looked solemn.
"I'll go first!" Pulling out his sword, the young general turned around and left.
The person who was left behind, watching them leave, humphed helplessly. He turned around and pulled out his sword to cut down a person who was trying to climb up the city gate tower while the soldiers on the city walls were shot down.
The city gates were opened, and the young general led a group of people and rushed out. They rushed into the enemy's formation and rampaged, reducing the pressure on the city walls once again. The young general took the lead and killed countless people along the way. Soon, a burly middle-aged man blocked his way. The middle-aged man held a broadsword and swept away the people around him. He mocked, "Is there no one else under Murong Shen's command? You actually sent a brat who is still wet behind the ears to block my way! If you know what's good for you, immediately open Yonglin City for me, and I'll spare your life! "The young general sneered," I don't accept nameless people under my command. Where did this renegade come from? Tell me your name, and I'll leave your corpse intact! "
"I'm Sun Wei, the vanguard of the western army personally appointed by Prince Li!"
The young general rolled his eyes. "So it's Mo Jingli, that traitor, Sun Wei … I've never heard of you. Die obediently!" The long sword in his hand was fast and ruthless. He mercilessly slashed at the man who claimed to be the vanguard of the western army. For a moment, the man was flustered and finally died in the hands of the brat he looked down upon. The young general spat disdainfully, "You're just a pussy. How dare you show off in front of me?" The vanguard was killed, and the besieging army was suddenly in chaos. The general who was left behind to guard the city took the opportunity to command the army to attack. Not long after, the besieging army retreated in panic.
"Xia Shu, how was it?" Back on the city wall, looking at the defeated enemy, the young general, who had just shown his skills and vented the depression of these days, was beaming with joy. The young man called Xia Shu looked into the distance and frowned, "They should be the vanguard of the enemy. Although they were killed, when the real elites come … "The young general couldn't help but frown. The joy of the victory just now gradually dissipated. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even hundreds of thousands of pigs could trample them to death. It was already very difficult for 20,000 people to defend the city, not to mention to go out of the city to meet the enemy. Yonglin City was not like Broken Snow Pass. If they defended and didn't go out, Prince Li's army might bypass Yonglin City first. Although it was a little troublesome, it was not impossible. Once Broken Snow Pass was taken, their isolated city with only 20,000 people would be in the bag.
"Who cares? If they come, I'll beat them back all the same! I, Yun Ting, am not a coward! "The young general snorted.
Xia Shu also gradually revealed a smile, "You're right. Let's make it clear first, it's my turn next. "
Perhaps because the vanguard troops in front of them were defeated and returned, the troops behind them came later than they expected. They didn't hear the sound of war drums until the next morning. Xia Shu and Yun Ting stood on the city gate tower and looked down. Yun Ting couldn't help but gasp, "Mo Jingli brought out all the troops in Lingzhou, right?" The front of Yonglin City wasn't spacious, but at a glance, the fluttering banners and the densely packed figures made people not want to estimate the number of troops. Xia Shu said in a low voice, "When we were in the capital, I heard that Prince Li was an idiot. Now it seems that it's not entirely true." Looking at Prince Li's troops below the city, they were strict and orderly. They didn't look like an army that an idiot could bring out. Yun Ting curled his lips and said, "Either he has an expert under him, or he's pretending to be crazy. Can an idiot start a rebellion? He's crazy. "
A few people came out from the enemy's troops. One of them, a middle-aged man who was obviously not a general, shouted upstairs, "The guards upstairs, listen up. Immediately open the city gate and let us in."
Yun Ting curled his lips, "Who are you? Do you think we'll let you in just because you said so? "
The middle-aged man said, "I'm the governor of Yongzhou. Yongzhou has already submitted to Prince Li. Why don't you immediately open the city gate and let Prince Li in!" Hearing this, Yun Ting couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "I was wondering who it was. So it's just a traitor. There's a path to heaven but you don't want to take it. As a traitor, you should find a place to hide. How dare you come out and show off? " He took out the bow and arrow from the back of the soldier next to him and shot at the governor of Yongzhou without hesitation.
