Chapter Eighty-Seven: Sending Troops to Support
The two generals didn't have time to think too much, so they immediately ordered their troops, leaving less than 100 people to defend the city, and the rest of them went to Boulder Canyon, they only hoped that the southern courtyard could wait for their support.
Sure enough, as they expected, Ling Xiao sent people to ambush them halfway. Although the two generals were battle-hardened and often dealt with the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, they had some petty fights before. Now directly facing Jiangyuan, it is still a little difficult, and for a while, he can't get out.
For a few days, Ling Xiao continued to send people to attack the Boulder Canyon, although they were all blocked back by the soldiers of the Tian Yuan Kingdom, but the Tian Yuan Kingdom also suffered heavy casualties, the only thing to be thankful for was that the grain and grass were still enough.
The battle situation in front of us continued to be reported back to the Tian Yuan Kingdom. Emperor Tianyuan received the battle report from the battlefield in front of him in the early dynasty, his face was pale, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak. At this time, in the main hall, everyone could only hear their own heartbeat.
Emperor Tianyuan is not like other emperors, there are too many children and grandchildren to count, he only has four sons. The eldest prince Nanqing was exiled, and the second prince is the current crown prince, and now he is trapped in the boulder canyon, the third prince Nanyue, and the fourth prince Nanqi have been frail and sick since childhood, and they have been living in a simple place.
Above the huge court, there is only one prince in Nanyue. "Father, right now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is trapped in the Boulder Canyon, and the general guarding the city can't go to the rescue. Erchen thinks that the most important thing now should be to send someone to relieve the siege of His Royal Highness the Prince, and not let people break through the boulder canyon!"
The old minister thinks that what the third prince said makes sense. The emperor should send someone to the boulder canyon again, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking on paper, but he is also His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tianyuan Kingdom, and he cannot fall into the hands of the enemy. As soon as Nanyue finished speaking, an old minister stood up and seconded the proposal.
Emperor Tian Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a while. "What Yue'er said is not unreasonable, pass the order down, and order General Lan to throw 100,000 troops to the Boulder Canyon, drive the Northern Qi soldiers out of the Tianyuan border, and rescue His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After Master Su went down to court, he went back to Su Mansion directly. Now that Han Zhirou's stomach is a little pregnant, after he goes to court, he will go home directly and spend more time with Han Zhirou.
But today, Master Su's face was not as peaceful as before, and he was more dignified.
Han Zhirou took his robe, handed it to the little maid on the side, and asked softly. "What's wrong? Is there something going on in the court?"
Master Su sighed and took Han Zhirou's hand. "Early this morning, the emperor received a battle report from the front line, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was trapped in the Boulder Canyon, and the two generals defending the city were ambushed halfway and could not go to support in time!"
Han Zhirou frowned slightly. "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave the two generals behind? Even if the two generals finally break through the encirclement and suppression, then when they reach the Boulder Canyon, it will be the result of people being sleepy and lacking. Besides, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be able to hold out until that time?"
Old Man Su looked embarrassed. "It's okay to talk about grain and grass. The grain and grass before have been safely transported to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I just don't know if there will be any emergencies. The emperor has already sent people to the Boulder Canyon, and I don't know if he can rescue His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others. I'm wondering, should I tell Nian'er about this?"
As soon as Master Su's words fell, he heard the sound of broken glass at the door. Su Yunian knew that Master Su was going to court, so he sent the pastries he made himself. Who knows, before I could go in, I heard such news. Apparently they were still writing yesterday, how could this be?
Su Yunian couldn't accept it for a while, she was weak, and fainted at the door.
"Come on, send the young lady back to the room!" Han Zhirou didn't expect Su Yunian to hear these words, and she also wanted to reveal it to Su Yunian little by little when the time came.
For a while, there was a mess in the Su Mansion, and the imperial doctor and the maid went back and forth.
In the boulder canyon, Nan Yuan and the others were already exhausted. Although the appetite is satisfied, the mental torture is the most deadly. In the past few days, they don't know how many waves of Northern Qi attacks they have blocked, but the soldiers around them are also decreasing one by one, and if this continues, they will not be able to hold on.
Nan Yuan looked at the city from the city tower and saw the streets full of paralyzed soldiers, and his heart suddenly swelled with endless sadness. "Lan Yuyang, you lead everyone, let's retreat to the city first. ”
When Lan Yuyang heard this, he was very annoyed. Nan Yuan regarded him as someone, and at the moment of the great enemy, he Qihui abandoned him and fled alone. "Nan Yuan, do you know what I'm talking about, now that the place is under the city, do you want me to flee and live alone? Do you think my conscience will be at peace?"
Nan Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, not caring whether the ground was clean or not, and sneered. "Lan Yuyang, if it goes on like this, the result is obvious. There is no need to sacrifice more people here. I am the commander of an army and the prince of a country. I have a responsibility on my shoulders, you go back first, and my father will not blame you. ”
Lan Yuyang grabbed Nan Yuan's collar and lifted him up from the ground. "Nan Yuan, let me tell you! I, Lan Yuyang, swear here today that even if I die on the battlefield, I will not take a step back! Until the last moment, there is hope. Nanyuan, I hope you pick up your ambition, don't forget, Su Yunian is still waiting for you to go back in the capital!"
Maybe it was because of Lan Yuyang's words, or maybe it was because he thought of Su Yunian, and hope was rekindled in Nan Yuan's eyes. "Okay! Our two brothers are staying here, and we will definitely wait for reinforcements to arrive!"
At this time, the Northern Qi launched another wave of attacks. Nan Yuan clenched the long sword in his hand. "Ling Xiao, if you have the ability, come out and compete with me, what kind of ability is hiding behind the camp. If you want to enter the customs, you must first ask me if the sword in my hand will agree!"
Lan Yuyang looked at Nan Yuan, who had regained hope, and smiled, this was the Nan Yuan he knew! But as long as he is here, he is the little general of the Tianyuan Kingdom, and he will not let the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty step into the country half a step!
Endless carnage on the battlefield, chaos. Ling Xiao looked at the Tianyuan soldiers who were fighting on the battlefield in the distance, with a playful expression. "I didn't expect that the people of Tianyuan Kingdom, whether they are generals or ordinary officers and soldiers, all of them have backbone, but it's a pity. ”
After saying this, Ling Xiao stood up and stretched out his hand to Ling Rui behind him.
Ling Rui understood and handed his bow and arrow to Ling Xiao, who gently pulled the bow and aimed it at the figure that was fighting.
Ling Xiao's most powerful thing is not melee combat, but his archery skills, it can be said that he can't do Anyang, if this arrow is shot, Nan Yuan's possible life will be explained here.
With the sound of the wind breaking through the air, the arrows came straight towards the south abyss.
