When night fell, the second prince Zhao Chengcai came out of the palace, and as soon as he returned to his own mansion, his guard Zhao Wou-Ki hurriedly came over and said to him: "Your Highness, Lian Feng has sent someone back to ask the emperor for reinforcements."

"Someone again?" Zhao Cheng's expression was stunned after hearing this, and then he returned to normal, sat at the table and took a sip of tea before asking, "How many times has this been?" ”

"For the fourth time"

"Have all the people who came back taken care of?"

"It's all arranged" Zhao Wuji thought about it and asked: "Your Highness, Lian Feng sent back four groups of people to ask for help in three days, and the situation is not optimistic when I want to come to him, we have been pressing not to report it, not letting the emperor know, is it too reckless?" If the news leaks out, the emperor will be furious when he knows it, and when the time comes..."

Zhao Cheng waved his hand at him, signaling him not to say any more, "Father, his birthday is approaching, and now he is sick, he must not let him worry about this matter anymore, you still do what I said before."

After thinking about it, he instructed Zhao Wuji: "There will definitely be people from the Lianfeng faction coming back in the next few days, you like this, tomorrow you will take people to set up a sentry ten miles outside the city, and then there will be people from Yan Kingdom who come back to deliver the message immediately to stop them, so that they don't even have a chance to enter the city."

Zao Wou-Ki nodded: "My subordinates will bring someone to do it in the next meeting."

Zhao Cheng sat on the chair and stretched lazily, looking tired, and asked Zao Wou-Ki again: "What's the situation with my eldest brother?" ”

"As His Highness had expected, all those who went were killed"

Zhao Cheng snorted coldly: "Hmph, if he hadn't taken up the status of the eldest son, he would still want to compete with Zhao Wu for the position of crown prince?" I don't appreciate it if I want to help him, it's really muddy and can't support the wall, so this matter should be done according to the previous arrangement."

"The subordinates know, so let's arrange it"

After Zao Wou-Ki went down, Zao Wou-Ki leaned back in his chair, tilted his head, sighed deeply and said: "It's a pity, I'm just a cripple now, otherwise I would have been sitting on the throne of the prince."

Yanguo Huguan

Yan Guo General Le Yi stood majestically on the tall city wall of Huguan, staring at the Hun army everywhere outside the pass, the previous number was decreasing day by day, and the Hun army with the intention of retreating was now reassembled outside Huguan Pass. The hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu army in front of him, Le Yi, never worried that they would be able to break through Huguan, and he was confident that he would block the attack of the Huns here. But when he received that Tianshan City was being attacked by tens of thousands of Hun soldiers, his always confident heart also had some worries at this time, and he couldn't figure it out, when did the Huns have so many troops? What benefits did the Huns promise to Wei so that they could pass through the territory of Wei and attack Tianshan City? Maybe Wei didn't know? The Hun army secretly passed by and arrived outside the Tianshan City? Absolutely not.

"General Yanlin," Le Yi took a deep breath and said.

Yan Lin, who was not far away, heard Le Yi calling him, and hurriedly ran over and bent down and saluted: "The last general, what does the general command?"

This Yan Lin was the leading general who escorted Yan Ning to Tianmang Mountain a few months ago, and now he was also sent by Emperor Yan to Huguan to assist Le Yi in defending Huguan together.

"Pass my general order to transfer 10,000 young and middle-aged soldiers to Tianshan City immediately to help, there must be no mistake"

After hearing this, Yan Lin asked a little puzzled, "General, why is this?" Although Tianshan City is now being attacked by the Xiongnu army, there are still 20,000 reinforcements from Zhao State there? Besides, the main force of the Xiongnu army is now here, and the number of Xiongnu troops who want to come to Tianshan City will not be too much, and the 20,000 Zhao troops should be able to defend Tianshan City, why do you need to transfer 10,000 soldiers from here to support? Now hundreds of thousands of Hun troops are eyeing us outside the pass, and our defensive strength here is less than 70,000, and then transfer 10,000, the pressure to block the Hun army will be greater, in case the Hun Pass is broken by the Huns, then my Yan is in danger, and please think twice."

"My Yan country is now equivalent to gathering all the troops here in Huguan, now even if my emperor knows that Tianshan City is in danger, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gather troops to support, once Tianshan City is breached, another road to Yandu will be opened, and then Yandu will be equally dangerous, so Huguan and Tianshan City can not be breached, besides, I am also suspecting that the enemy army that is attacking Tianshan City at this moment is not the Huns at all, and it is not only the Huns who want to kill my Yan Kingdom, alas, I hope I guessed wrong, You do what I say, the speed must be fast, we can't put our hope on the 20,000 Zhao reinforcements, our own country still needs to be guarded by ourselves"

"The last will obey, the last will do it now"

After Yan Lin went down to arrange, Le Yi looked at the dense Hun army outside the pass, stretched out his right hand, and slowly crossed the front from left to right, and said in his mouth: "If you want to kill my Yan country, the heart will not die, one day, this general will lead my Yan Guo Erlang to set foot on your Xiongnu land, so that your Xiongnu clan will be exterminated", after speaking, his hand slapped heavily on the city wall.

After that, he silently recited the sentence in his mouth: "Wei Guo..."

Tianshan City of Yan Kingdom

Lian Feng waved the sword in his hand and cut down several enemy soldiers who were about to climb the city wall, and the red cloak he was wearing behind him was soaked in blood at this time and became even more red, and he said words to boost morale: "The soldiers of Zhao State, when they go to the battlefield, they must fight bravely to kill the enemy, and they must not retreat from the battle, so as to show the demeanor of my Zhao Guoerlang, I have sent someone to send a letter back to Zhao Capital to ask for reinforcements, I believe that my Zhao army will arrive soon, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, this will lead you to rush out of the city, and kill the Huns outside the city”

"Kill"

"Kill... Kill..."

"Kill... Long live Zhao Guo..."

After the soldiers who were close to Lian Feng heard Lian Feng's shout, they responded instantly, and the sound of killing gradually spread, and not long after, the entire Zhao army on the city wall was infected by this exciting killing sound, as if showing a state of excitement, shouting kill loudly in their mouths, and the blade in their hands slashed hard at the enemy soldiers who were climbing up the city wall.

Half an hour later, the horn of the enemy troops besieging the city sounded, and the Zhao army led by Lian Feng finally blocked the enemy's attack again.

Afterwards, the Zhao army on the entire city wall rejoiced, and shouted loudly: Long live the Zhao Kingdom.

Lian Feng walked and patrolled the city wall, as he had done several times before, Lian Feng was still not happy about the enemy troops who repelled the siege, and he was even more sad when he saw the wounded soldiers being helped down the city tower. Now the number of enemy troops is unknown, but the 20,000 Zhao troops he brought have already sacrificed more than half of them at this time, and none of the people sent back to deliver the letter for help rushed back, when will the reinforcements arrive, and are there any reinforcements? Lian Feng doesn't know.

At this time, Wu Heng rushed to Lian Feng with some excitement, and said excitedly as soon as he came to him: "General, just now General Le Da sent someone to report that he has sent 10,000 soldiers from Huguan to Tianshan to support us, and he will arrive in a few days."

After Lian Feng learned that the Yan army was about to come to support them, he was not as excited as Wu Heng, but just asked, "The Hun army outside Huguan has retreated?" ”

Wu Heng shook his head and replied: "No, according to the report of the people who came to pass the word, now more than 100,000 Hun troops are still stationed outside Huguan Pass, and they will attack Huguan in a big way in the near future."

"More than 100,000 Hun troops?" After hearing this, Lian Feng repeated with some surprise, "The Yan State defenders in Huguan should only have 70,000, right?" Now that 10,000 have been transferred here, can they withstand the attack of more than 100,000 Huns? ”

"Someone said it, saying that General Le Yi confessed, so you don't have to worry about Huguan, no matter how many Huns he has, he is sure to hold Huguan, and also said that Tianshan City will completely rely on you, general, please be sure to defend Tianshan City, he worships General Xie on behalf of all the people of Yan Kingdom"

"General Le Da is really tormenting the general, has anyone come back?"

"Not yet"

"You ask him to go back and tell General Le, just say that I, Lian Feng, will swear to the death to resist the Huns in Tianshan City, Tianshan City will be in the people, and if the Tianshan City is broken, the people will die."

Wu Heng nodded and was about to turn around and go down, but Lian Feng stopped him again: "General Wu, how many waves of people have you sent back to Zhaodu to ask for support?" So far, no one has returned, and there is no news? ”

"Eight groups of people have been sent to send messages back to Zhaodu, but no one has returned so far, and there is no news."

Lian Feng lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and ordered: "Continue to send, and at the same time send a few more groups of people back, let them go separately, don't take the same route, and secretly send a few more soldiers of the Black Flag Army, let them disguise themselves as ordinary people, and secretly return to Zhao to tell our father about the situation here, and after my father knows, he will definitely find a way to send reinforcements to come."

"General, the battle report of the march can only be passed on to the person designated by the emperor, if it is passed on to the old general privately, once it is known by the emperor, I am afraid that including the old general will be punished."

"I can't care so much, you just do as I say, now we can't get in touch with Zhao Du for a long time, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid that we will all die here, and Zhao Du won't know"

Wu Heng saluted Lian Feng in silence, and then went down to make arrangements.

In a mountain forest dozens of miles away from the city of Zhaodu, a rich woman in gorgeous clothes was running all the way by several maids, and a group of black-clothed masked people behind her were chasing them closely.

Suddenly, the woman accidentally tripped over the roots of the tree under her feet, and the whole person fell to the ground, and the maid next to her was busy helping her up, but she sat on the ground and couldn't stand up, holding her stomach with her hands and moaning in pain: "My stomach hurts so much..."
