Chapter 179: Nightmare 2
After his father left, the boy took over the army, and from time to time he inspected the ranks and talked with the soldiers, which his father gave to him, saying that talking to the soldiers below him could enhance your friendship and make your hearts together. Soldiers are the foundation of a general, and without soldiers, generals are just empty bottles.
And after his father left, the young man also used the flying eagle to bring a letter to the princess, saying that his father had led the troops to set off, so please rest assured.
However, what made the young man a little puzzled was that his father insisted on saving the princess in person, if it was before, his father would definitely agree to go by himself, why not this time.
The middle-aged man with 3,000 elite soldiers kept hurrying, and it would have taken a day to travel, but it took less than eight hours to rush to the small town where the princess was trapped. At this moment, the princess's guards were fighting the enemy outside the city, but there were few people and it was a little difficult. Fortunately, the middle-aged man arrived in time, and it took an hour to barely repel the enemy army.
"Report, Princess Qiqi, the general has arrived. ”
The princess had already given no hope, and was ready to commit suicide in the city lord's mansion, but she didn't expect that the general came, that is, her brother came, and finally showed a smile on her face. "Where is he, please hurry up"
said that she was a princess, but in fact, she was the same age as a teenager, just a child. is also the sister of a middle-aged man, and she was forced to marry into the royal family and become a princess.
After the middle-aged man cleaned up the corpses outside the city, he strode towards the city lord's mansion, hoping to see this sister as soon as possible.
After the half-pillar of incense, the middle-aged man came to the city lord's mansion, and when he saw his sister, he hugged him in his arms, "I'm sorry, it's my brother who is late, I'm sorry." The middle-aged man looked at his sister in his arms and couldn't help crying, and the princess also cried bitterly, and the two hugged each other tightly, for fear of separating again. After a while, the middle-aged man said, "It's okay, brother will take you back to the imperial city today, at least there are still our troops and relatives." The princess nodded.
"You hurry up and clean up now, let's leave right away" The middle-aged man looked at the maids around him again, "You guys hurry up and clean up, everyone leaves"
"Brother, we don't have anything, let's go directly. ”
"Okay" The middle-aged man took the princess's hand and walked out. After a while, everyone came to the city gate, only to see that the black area outside the city was full of enemy troops.
"Report, General Qiqi, the enemy reinforcements have arrived, we will resist it, you take the princess and leave quickly. ”
"Adjutant General Li, how many people are there in the enemy army. ”
"At least twenty thousand. Please also ask the general to take the princess to go first, and our palace will be behind. ”
There are 20,000 enemy troops, and now there are less than 2,000 and 5,000 soldiers with him, and the princess's guards are less than 1,000.
"No, Vice General Li, General Ben has given you a task, take the princess away, I will stay, and I can delay for a while. ”
"General, this is not appropriate. ”
"Brother, if you don't leave, I won't leave. ”
Seeing that the attitude of the two was a little resolute, the middle-aged man smiled, "Vice General Li, I usually treat you well, so I implore you to take the princess away, this is the last favor I asked you to help, how about it?"
Vice General Li also knew that staying would definitely be death, but for the sake of the royal family and the people, he had to make a choice, "General, I will take someone to wait for you in a small town thirty miles away." After saying that, he moved over a horse, "Come and take the princess away." After speaking, he led a group of men and horses towards the imperial city.
