"Don't be happy too early. When Mo Jingli figures out the truth, I'm afraid no one will be able to stop his army." Ye Li said helplessly. Yun Ting said excitedly, "Why don't we sneak attack a few more times?" Xia Shu rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think that Prince Li's subordinates are all idiots? After being sneak attacked once, they will let you succeed again? Maybe they are waiting for you to walk right into their trap. "Ye Li nodded and said," Xia Shu is right. This time, we are indeed taking a risk. If Mo Jingli reacts and directly attacks Yonglin, then even if we can kill twenty to thirty thousand rebels, it will be useless. "Yun Ting also gradually recovered from his excitement, biting his fingers anxiously," Then what should we do? Damn it, when will the imperial court's reinforcements arrive? "
"Princess." An San came in with a letter. Ye Li nodded and said to the two, "You can go do your work first."
Yun Ting and Xia Shu respectfully left. Ye Li took the letter from An San and opened it. At first, she was happy, but soon her face sank. An San looked strangely at Ye Li's change in expression. She didn't know what was written in the letter to make the usually calm princess consort act so strangely. After a while, Ye Li slapped the letter on the table and said, "Pass down the order, from today onwards, the entire army will be on alert!"
"Princess consort, what's wrong?"
Ye Li said, "Mo Jingli is very likely to attack Yonglin within these two days."
An San didn't understand. According to their predictions, the rebel army shouldn't move at all in these few days. Ye Li looked at the letter on the table and said, "The reinforcements will arrive at Yun Lan River within three days. Not long after, Mo Jingli will also receive this news. If he doesn't attack Yonglin at this time, once the reinforcements arrive, he will have no chance. "An San nodded," So … … as long as we can hold on for these three days … … "
"I'm just afraid that these three days won't be easy."
In King Li's army, Mo Jingli stared at the secret letter in his hand as if he wanted to bore a hole through it. After a while, he angrily said, "Good … Good Black Cloud Cavalry. I want to know which expert is in Yonglin City!" It was written clearly in the secret letter that Mo Xiuyao went to the palace to see Mo Jingqi ten days ago. Even if he had left the capital at that time, he couldn't have arrived in Yongzhou in such a short time. Therefore, the one blocking his path in the past few days was definitely not that cripple Mo Xiuyao. As for the Black Cloud Cavalry … … other than the two thousand Black Cloud Cavalry in Yonglin City, they had searched the entire Yongzhou and did not find a single trace of the Black Cloud Cavalry.
"Prince, now …" The Military Advisor's expression was grave. "The reinforcements are coming so quickly. They will cross the Cloud River in at most three days. Prince, please make a decision as soon as possible. "Should they withdraw the army to attack the east, or continue to attack the west to break through Shattered Snow Pass and join up with the Nan Zhao Army?
"Attack the city at all costs!"
The battle began again. This time, it was even more intense than a few days ago. Mo Jingli was not stingy as he sent out his most elite troops to attack the city. Although Yonglin City's defense had been improved with the help of the Black Cloud Cavalry, this kind of unrelenting and crazy attack still caused the soldiers defending the city to be extremely tired and suffer heavy casualties. After an entire day, the rebel army gradually retreated at night. However, they were still facing off against Yonglin City less than five li away. After a day, nearly half of Yonglin City's defenders had died. Even at night, they could not rest peacefully. They still had to guard against the rebel army's sneak attack. Ye Li looked at the situation in front of her and frowned. She waved her hand to have the Black Cloud Cavalry guard the city tower at night so that the soldiers defending the city could rest for a while.
"Li, can we defend Yonglin City?" In the middle of the night, Mu Rongting stood on the city tower and looked down. In the distance, the rebel army's camp was dark and dense. She could not help but feel grave. Ye Li looked at her and said with a smile, "Why are you scared?" Mu Rongting pursed her lips and said with dissatisfaction, "Who's scared? It's just that … I have never seen so many dead people. In the past, father always said that I was childish. Only now do I know that I really am. I always thought that after staying at the border with father for a few years, I knew more than others. Actually, I have never seen a battlefield. "Ye Li comforted her softly," You've done very well. " Mu Rongting was also very busy today. She brought the city's doctors and strong laborers to help the military doctors treat the injured soldiers. She also helped to transport food and arrows. Her entire person was haggard. "General Mu Rong will definitely be proud of you."
Mu Rongting said with an embarrassed smile, "I didn't do anything. Li Li is the most powerful. If Li Li was my father's daughter, my father would definitely be so happy that he would wake up laughing in his dreams. "
Ye Li said with a smile, "Why don't we go back and ask if General Mu Rong is willing to let me switch with you?"
"I don't want to. Father loves me the most."
Ye Li laughed softly and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we will all be fine."
Mu Rongting was stunned. She sighed and said, "I'm not afraid. If the rebel army really attacks, this lady will kill one if one comes. If two come, this lady will kill two!" Seeing Mu Rongting pretend to be brave, Ye Li couldn't help but laugh. She sighed and raised her head to look at the crescent moon in the sky. A trace of worry gradually covered her beautiful face.
In the corner of the city gate tower, Xia Shu and Yun Ting stood side by side. Their eyes landed on the slender figure in the distance. Ye Li was dressed in a moon-white male outfit. She didn't have a hairpin in her hair. Instead, she used a moon-white ribbon to casually tie it up. Under the moonlight, her sparkling face was covered in a layer of faint silver light. It seemed to be a trace of pure melancholy. Her aura that was as quiet as a lotus and elegant as an orchid made the young girl in red clothes beside her lose her splendor.
"If I can survive this time, I will definitely join the Black Cloud Cavalry!" Yun Ting said firmly. Joining the Black Cloud Cavalry had always been his wish. It was just that he was even more determined now.
"If we can't defend tomorrow, you can escort the princess consort and leave first. Head towards the north. After passing the Cloud Mist River, you should be able to meet the reinforcements soon. "Xia Shu said faintly.
Yun Ting glared at him and said, "Am I someone who would run away before the battle?"
Xia Shu faintly swept a glance over him. "You don't know the relationship between the princess consort and King Li? What will happen if she falls into King Li's hands? " Yun Ting stilled. He couldn't help but look at the woman standing in the wind. He scratched his head in annoyance and said, "I don't have the ability to escort the princess consort away. You should go. You are better at persuading people. The princess consort doesn't look like she would abandon Yonglin City and leave by herself. Speaking of which, I really haven't seen such a princess consort before. "
Xia Shu nodded in agreement. Even though they had only known each other for a few days, this Princess Ding who was younger than them had completely subverted their understanding of the title of princess consort. She looked weak on the outside, but her heart was stronger than men. There was also his astonishing intellect, his sharp decisiveness as a general, and his agility that was greater than many other generals. Many times, Xia Shu felt that the woman wasn't a pampered princess consort, but a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Say, if we both survive and I ask the princess consort to accept me into the Black Cloud Cavalry, will the princess consort agree?" Don't think about problems that can't be solved first. This had always been Yun Ting's habit. Tilting his head, Yun Ting began to imagine a beautiful future.
