The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

After the two discussed it, He Lianhuan immediately ordered someone to call General Wu.

"Although you did not surrender to the enemy and treason with Li Changliang, you were unable to control your subordinates well and almost made a big mistake. This palace will give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. Are you willing?"

Ever since Li Changliang and others were killed last night, General Wu has been feeling uneasy, fearing that His Highness the Second Prince would change his mind and punish him as well.

When he was summoned, he felt uneasy.

When he heard this, he finally felt relieved.

"My subordinates are willing."

He Lianhuan nodded, and then handed over the "patriotic propaganda" work he had discussed with Gu Wangshu to him.

General Wu was confused.

Is it just that?

"Don't think this task is simple. It is related to the survival of the Helian Kingdom. We hope that all the 80-year-olds and three-year-old children in the Helian Kingdom will deeply feel the importance of patriotism."

General Wu accepted the task without any objection.

He propagandized all the way from Taiping City to the east, not daring to neglect anything along the way.

This propaganda work has achieved great results. The most intuitive thing is that the people in other cities have taken a small amount from their own rations, accumulated a small amount, and transported it to Taiping City for support.

In just half a month, Taiping City had enough food and grass to supply the people in the city for a year.

With food and grass as a backing, even if the city is besieged, it will not be exhausted.

Half a month later, a garrison was added to the gate of Taiping City. Guards were changed every three hours to guard Taiping Pass.

The atmosphere in the city also became increasingly tense.

I originally thought that after half a month, Nalan's army would arrive at the city, but it didn't happen.

Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan were both confused.

On the 16th day, Nalan's army did not come.

No. 17 days, Nalan army still has not arrived.

A month passed peacefully day by day, and the people's nervousness disappeared, but Nalan's army still didn't come.

Gu Wangshu thought there was something fishy.

It's not that she expected Nalan to attack Taiping City quickly.

It's just that Nalan's army has not arrived for a long time, which is definitely abnormal. Something must have happened on the way.

Could it be that other cities are struggling to resist?

When everyone was puzzled, on the morning of No. 30, people suddenly shouted horses neighing outside Taiping City, shouting to kill Zhentian.

After receiving the news, Gu Wangshu and He Lianhuan rushed over on horseback, climbed up the tower in a hurry, and looked far away.

At this glance, his expression suddenly changed.

Thick smoke billowed in the distance, rushing towards Taiping City like a mudslide. It was coming at such a fast speed that it would arrive in the blink of an eye.

The army attacked the city with great force and its momentum was unstoppable.

It was so dark and dense that you couldn't see the edge at a glance, and everything you could see was enemy troops.

Seeing this scene, Gu Wangshu's heart was raised and his tongue was a little knotted.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, is this an army of [-] people?"

A hundred thousand troops are a lot, but are they that many?

Gu Wangshu recalled the scene in his previous life when Nalan's army came to the city and He Lianhuan stood on the Yong'an Tower holding a sword.

At that time, Nalan's army numbered 20, and it was overwhelming. As a soul, she could not see the end even while floating high in the sky.

The scene in front of him was so similar to his previous life that Gu Wangshu suspected that the Nalan Army was not one hundred thousand but 20 strong.

He Lianhuan narrowed his eyes and his expression was more solemn than ever before.

"It's not like there's only a hundred thousand."

One sentence made Gu Wangshu clench his fists.

Not like only one hundred thousand?In other words, it is much more than [-].

Why did it suddenly become like this?

Could it be that the Nalan Army delayed their arrival at Taiping City and waited for reinforcements from the rear?

But the Nalan army is invincible within the Helian Kingdom, so there is no reason for the Nalan Kingdom to send more reinforcements.

Gu Wangshu thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out.

The enemy troops passed by like a strong wind, and soon reached the fire attack place where dry wood and dry grass were laid.

The length of this area is a thousand meters.

The large army in front is galloping on horseback and will cross here in a moment.

On the tower of Taiping City, the soldiers drew their bows and arrows, and the flames on the arrows were burning, aiming at the place of fire attack.

He Lianhuan raised one hand and was about to give the command to release the arrow.

Once the arrow lands on the withered grass dripping with oil, the withered grass will be ignited instantly, and Nalan's soldiers and horses will be plunged into a sea of ​​fire.

However, at this critical moment, Gu Wangshu suddenly exclaimed.

She widened her eyes and stared at the man running wildly on horseback in the front.

"elder brother?"

He Lianhuan turned around in confusion: "What?"

The distance was getting closer and closer, and Gu Wangshu could finally see the faces of the two people clearly.

The person rushing at the front was wearing armor, but the armor had long been broken and hung on his body. The hood on his head was also unmoved, and his bun was messy.

Those two people were none other than the two brothers Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi who were sent by Gu Shanhe to support them.

Behind them, there was Helian's army, their helmets and armor abandoned, so miserable.

Seeing this scene, Gu Wangshu's face was so anxious that his face was distorted.

She turned around suddenly and grabbed He Lianhuan's arms with both hands.

"Your Highness can't shoot arrows, those are my fifth and sixth brothers."

He Lianhuan did not expect that Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi would suddenly come to Taiping City.

Their arrival disrupted their plans.

Chasing behind them was Nalan's army. If the city gate was not opened, the two brothers and the Helian army they led would surely die at the hands of the enemy.

But if we open the city gate, there will be great risks.

Gu Wangshu knew this was difficult.

But she didn't want to watch her brothers die in front of her. She had already experienced it once in her previous life, and she could no longer bear to watch her relatives die in front of her eyes in this life.

"Your Highness, please."

Gu Wangshu begged He Lianhuan for the first time, and her eyes turned red with anxiety.

Tears welled up in his red eyes.

"Rocket--"

Gu Wangshu's eyes flashed with fear: "Your Highness——"

She thought He Lianhuan was going to abandon the Helian army outside the city, but then she heard him say:

"Withdraw!"

"Change the arrows and cover our Helian army."

Gu Wangshu's tearful eyes opened wider and wider, and his heart beat wildly in his chest.

There had never been a moment when He Lianhuan's image was so tall in her eyes, he seemed to be shining, and he became her salvation.

With a single order, all arrows were fired.

The whistling cold arrows intercepted the Nalan Army that was chasing behind the Helian Army, buying valuable escape time for the troops led by Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi.

The gates of Taiping City were opened wide, and the generals who defended the city lowered the suspension bridge together.

The soldiers in the city quickly left the city and cleared the defensive obstacles as quickly as possible.

The sound of horse hooves shook, and the Helian army rushed into Taiping City. Then the suspension bridge was fully raised and the city gate was closed.

On the city tower, the cold arrows suddenly stopped, and then replaced with rockets.

As soon as the rocket came out, it landed on the withered grass like a broken bamboo.

In an instant, the dead grass was ignited.

The flames burned as fast as a fuse, spreading rapidly in all directions, turning into a sea of ​​​​fire.

The Nalan Army, who were in the land of fire, screamed repeatedly as they were burned by raging fire.
