The floating firelight around the castle tower is reflected as if it were daytime.

Piroyer sat on horseback and looked up at the city, he was about forty years old, in the prime of life, with a tiger's helmet on his head, and a beard on his face, his face could not be seen clearly, but a pair of cloudy eyes, reflecting the light of raging fire, as fierce as a wolf, as if to tear him apart.

Luo Yan's heart sank slightly, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, and turned his head to ask the relatives around him: "The person sent back by the eldest princess to deliver the letter, has there been any news of the eldest princess?" ”

When night fell, there were secret guards and imperial city guards one after another to send the news in Yuexi City into Dali City.

Only there is no news of the eldest princess.

Qin Sui shook his head, his face solemn: "The entire territory of Binchuan has been completely sealed, and the people around the eldest princess have also been sent out to deliver letters, and it is impossible for her to escape." ”

Dali City is already impetuous, the eldest princess is not in Dali City, this city is not easy to guard, Luo Yan's face is heavy.

Piroye raised his voice and said: "Luo Yan, since ancient times, it takes three times as many troops to attack the city, I led 150,000 troops this time, which is enough to capture the entire Dali City, Sheng Lilong has taken refuge in Yun China, three edicts have become two edicts, and all the people in the entire Dali City add up, I'm afraid it is less than 50,000!" ”

"If you know each other, surrender obediently, as long as you are willing to take the initiative to open the city gate and welcome the Chinese army into the city, I promise to spare you from dying, and spare your people, what do you think?"

Luo Yan didn't speak, and he didn't say anything about the news of Yue Xi's edict.

When he got the news, it was too late, and he could only deal with the elite soldiers buried in the city by Piroye first, and there was no time to make more deployments.

At this time, the soldiers defending the city, when they heard that Yue Xi's edict had surrendered to Yun China, was like a drop of water splashed into an oil pot, and there was a commotion on the city wall.

Everyone was stunned and their faces were full of horror.

The three edicts have always been in the same spirit, and the betrayal of the edict is like a knife stabbed from behind, and when they were caught off guard, they gave everyone a heavy blow.

The three edicts alliance army became two edicts, and the number of troops suddenly decreased by tens of thousands, and the pressure on defending the city also increased a lot.

The soldiers defending the city were full of anger, but they were helpless, looking at the black pressure of the city wall, everyone felt an invisible pressure.

Piroye's army was brutally slaughtered, conquering the surrounding tribes, large and small, and even the Southern Dynasty did not dare to confront them head-on.

Can they defeat Piroye's army and hold Dali City?

Piroye laughed and said: "Luo Yan, five days ago, I received news that General Zhengnan brought 10,000 Qi family troops, and on the way to Dali City, he suddenly received an army of 100,000 led by the lord of Nanyue and sent troops to Lingnan, and General Zhengnan immediately led his troops back to Lingnan. ”

"Haha, reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty won't come."

"Luo Yan, just with the two edicts of Mengxi and Mengshe, you can't hold Dali City, or don't sacrifice in vain, and surrender to me obediently!"

The soldiers of Yun China below shouted: "Surrender and don't kill, surrender and don't kill......"

The sound was like thunder, the momentum was immense, Luo Yan's face changed, including the soldiers around him, they couldn't help but be shocked, and the soldiers defending the city couldn't help but show panic on their faces, and turned their heads to each other.

"It can't be!"

"If the Qi family army doesn't come, won't we be trapped in the city?"

"The eldest princess is still in Dali City, why didn't the Qi family army come?"

"This guy is definitely trying to trick us and disturb the morale of our army, we can't be fooled, we can't fall for this guy's tricks."

“……”

There was gossip around him, but Luo Yan's face was a little gray.

Piroye didn't want to confront the Qi family army head-on, even if 30,000 elite soldiers were buried in Dali City, he kept his troops standing still and waiting for the opportunity.

He didn't send troops early, he didn't send troops late, but he chose today, obviously thinking that the best time to attack the city had come.

Then it is very likely that Qi Jiajun will really not come.

Hearing the sound of Luo Yan's subordinates constantly shouting on the city wall, Piroye couldn't help laughing: "Even if General Zhengnan comes, how can I fight against my 150,000 troops?" You guys are really unexpected. ”

The shouting on the city wall gradually weakened, and the defenders couldn't help but relax when they looked at the menacing army at the city gate and tightened their bowstrings.

Piroye continued: "I might as well tell you, the eldest princess is no longer in the post station, she secretly went to Yuexi City, and now she is trapped in Binchuan, and she will soon become my prisoner, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the post station to take a look, of course, you can also ask Lord Luo Yan beside you, he was the one who came forward to cover the eldest princess to leave the city." ”

The group looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Yan.

"Lord Luoyan, is what Piroye said true? Is the eldest princess really not in the inn? ”

"How can you hide such a big deal from us?"

"Is the eldest princess at the inn?"

"The eldest princess is not in Dali City, will the Qi family army not come?"

“……”

Facing the questioning of his subordinates, Luo Yan's throat was dry, and he didn't know how to speak, as soon as the news that the eldest princess was not in Dali City spread, Dali City would fall into panic.

Piroye laughed a few times: "As we all know, I have sent someone to hand over the negotiation documents to His Majesty the Southern Dynasty, asking His Majesty the Southern Dynasty not to meddle in the struggle in the southwest, after I unify the southwest, I will not only support the Lingnan war, continue to pay tribute to the Southern Dynasty, cede the five counties of Yunnan County to the Southern Dynasty, and will also send people to escort the eldest princess to return to the dynasty safely, what do you think, how will His Majesty the Southern Dynasty decide?" ”

At present, the war in Lingnan still needs to be pacified by the Qi family's army, and the southern dynasty would rather take a step back and let Piroye unify the southwest, and will also protect the eldest princess, so as not to chill the heart of the Qi family's army.

Luo Yan closed his eyes.

Luo Yan was no stranger to these terms of Piroyeti, and when Ge Lisi negotiated with the Southern Dynasty on behalf of Yun China, he put forward these conditions, only asking the Southern Dynasty not to interfere in the southwestern struggle, and the Southern Dynasty almost agreed.

It was he who met with the eldest princess, and then signed diplomatic relations with the Southern Dynasty to resist South Vietnam, and the matter was closed.

Now the three edicts first violated the original terms, the three edicts did not go to Lingnan to participate in the war, and the promised materials were still in Dali City and were not transported to the Lingnan front.

The eldest princess fell into the hands of Piroye, and the three edicts could not get out of it, and the Southern Dynasty would definitely be angry with Ermeng.

Lingnan is at war with the South Vietnamese Kingdom, and in order to appease the Qi family's army, the imperial court will definitely agree to Piroye's request to protect the safety of the eldest princess.

The tide is over.

The subordinates around Luo Yan were also aware of this, and their faces were as white as the earth, and the battle had not yet been fought, and their morale had been cut and the morale of the army had been disrupted.

There were only fifty or sixty thousand people in the city, no reinforcements, no supplies, and they became a battle for trapped beasts.

Piroye had an army of 150,000 troops, and even if he lost troops during the siege, he could still dispatch troops to continue the siege from the Yue Xi edict that had taken refuge in Yun China.

If they can't hold it, it is better to surrender directly.

"Princess Protector, Jiang Fuguang is here."
