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

Arrows pierced the sky.

Under the light of the sky-high fire, the arrow shone with golden light.

Looking at Gu Jingyi standing at the top of the city, his eyes were shining with determination, his body exuded fearlessness, as stable as a mountain, and his determination to shoot Gu Jingyi was clear.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

In the silence, the arrow drew a steep arc in the air, getting closer and closer, like a bird of prey flying across the sky, heading straight towards Fu Shoucheng with the oppressive feeling of death.

At the critical moment, Fu Shoucheng suddenly fell backward, lying on his back on the horse.

With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow whizzed past his eyes, bringing with it a freezing wind.

He exerted force on his waist and sat upright on the horse again.

Looking at the support of the city wall, a large number of archers were ambushed, and cold arrows were aimed at him and General Nalan.

Fu Shoucheng knew that continuing the stalemate would do them no good.

Reluctantly, he glanced at the Nalan Army, which was burned to ashes by the fire and looked horribly dead, and gave the order to retreat.

Fu Shoucheng reined in his horse, and the horse turned its head according to his wishes very humanely.

Under the cover of the remaining Nalan Army, they are about to withdraw to the camp.

Helian had such a good opportunity, how could he easily let him retreat safely?

Gu Jingli waved his sword and gave the order to kill.

Arrows flew out, and thousands of arrows came out in unison, roaring down from the sky like huge waves.

How could Nalan Jun's flesh and blood resist such a massive attack? He kept falling to the ground like a boney Lemmy card.

The bloody fire and gas of blood rose into the sky on the battlefield outside the city, and the screams kept echoing.

Fu Shoucheng's horse galloped, throwing up sand and rocks. The bright silver gun in his hand danced like flying. He knocked down all the arrows that were fired at him, and then he escaped proudly.

Some of the [-] Helian troops he led died in the fire, while others were turned into hedgehogs by arrows.

The ones who came with great momentum, the ones who fled in despair.

When Fu Shoucheng returned to the camp, there were only a hundred or so soldiers left around him.

Since arriving in Taiping City, everything has gone wrong.

In less than a month, the two sides did not engage in close combat, but they lost [-] soldiers.

On the other hand, the Helian Army suffered no losses at all.

The blows he received over the past few days made him start to doubt himself. His heart was empty, his brain was even more blank, and he didn't know what to do.

The fire in the grain storehouse had been extinguished, and the entire camp was filled with a burning smell.

Fu Shoucheng took a closer look with a gloomy face and found that most of the cold dishes were burned.

There was originally enough food and fodder to sustain an army of 15 men for a month, but now only 10 men were left with enough food to sustain them for seven days.

"General, what should I do?"

Fu Shoucheng held Chengquan tightly, no matter how much he hated it, he had to force himself to calm down and think of the next step.

There were only two paths before them.

Article [-]: Give up the siege plan and retreat.

Article [-]: Attack the city with all your might.

Making a choice is very difficult.

The choice Fu Shoucheng faces now is like a gambler who loses money in a bet.

If you give up, the money you invested before will be in vain.

If you continue to gamble, you may lose all the remaining money, but you may also win back the money you lost before.

Everyone knows how to stop losses in time.

However, due to luck and unwillingness, many people are unwilling to withdraw.

It was this kind of test that Fu Shoucheng faced.

Nalan's 20-strong army suffered more than [-] casualties, while Helian's army was unscathed. He could not accept such a comparison.

At the top of the city, Gu Wangshu and others were still standing there, looking at Nalan's camp from a distance.

"Nalan suffered heavy casualties and the grain storehouse was destroyed. They should retreat, right?" Gu Jingli murmured.

Gu Jingyi shook his head: "The best choice now is to withdraw the troops to preserve the remaining strength, but the authorities are blind to the onlookers, and Fu Shoucheng, who is in the middle of the situation, may not necessarily make the decision to withdraw the troops."

"That would be great. The lower their morale is, the better it will be for our army." Gu Jingli's face flashed with a smile of information.

Gu Wangshu never spoke.

Although she didn't understand Fu Shoucheng as a person, she felt that Sixth Brother's analysis was correct.

If Nalan's army still had food left, Fu Shoucheng would not have withdrawn his troops immediately. Instead, he would have repaired his soldiers on the spot and launched a fierce attack on Taiping City in a final struggle.

If he still can't attack, he will give up completely.

Gu Wangshu was silent for a long time, her hands on the city wall were blown red by the cold wind, but she didn't notice at all.

After spending time with her, He Lianhuan also discovered that her perception of the outside world would become weaker when she was in a trance. Whenever she looked like this, it proved that she was thinking of ways to defend herself against the enemy.

He Lianhuan glanced at her hand, helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Those hands were almost frozen into trotters, couldn't she feel it at all?

Looking at her face, she was still delicate and fair in Yongan.

During the two months that I followed him in Taiping City, I became a lot rougher. I had to come to the city every day to blow in the cold wind, and my cheeks turned red and ugly.

Two lumps of plateau red, paired with the red tip of her nose that was frozen, looked pitiful and interesting at the same time.

"Nalan suffered heavy losses. He probably won't attack the city tonight." He said calmly, then turned around.

When he turned around, he pretended to bump Gu Wangshu accidentally with his elbow.

Gu Wangshu came back to his senses immediately. He had been too absorbed in thinking about the strategy just now. When his thoughts returned, he realized that his hands were numb from the cold.

She rubbed her hands, put them into her cuffs, walked a few steps, and stood side by side with He Lianhuan very naturally.

Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi: "..."

Their sister actually ran after the second prince, not realizing that her brother was still at the top of the city.

The two of them felt sour in their hearts, curled their lips, and followed behind them angrily.

He Lianhuan glanced at Gu Wangshu and was amused by the way she shrank her shoulders.

"Do you know what you look like now?"

"what?"

"Like..." He paused, successfully arousing Gu Wangshu's curiosity.

"Like a little old lady."

"..."

Seeing Gu Wangshu's speechless expression, He Lianhuan pursed his lips to hold back a smile and walked up to Gu Wangshu with long legs.

Gu Wangshu was speechless.

Fortunately, she came from modern times and is quite generous. If she were a boudoir woman of this era, being described as an old lady would destroy her self-esteem, and she would still have the face to meet others.

His Highness is very clever, but his mouth is really poisonous.

Her hands were described as pig's trotters, and her person was like an old lady. She was curious about what else she could become in his mouth in the future.

She wouldn't be surprised if he described her as a toad who wanted swan meat.

Who is this!

Gu Jingli and Gu Jingyi both frowned when they heard He Lianhuan's words.

Their sister is smart and cute, how can she look like an old lady? Isn't this humiliating, Your Highness?

He was unconvinced, but due to his status, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of He Lianhuan.

The two of them came to Gu Wangshu's side, one on the left and the other on the right, and praised loudly with smiles on their faces, for fear that He Lianhuan wouldn't hear.

"Xiao Shu must have been sent by God to save Helian. His plans are so intricate. How did you come up with it in your little head? You are so smart. Fifth Brother really can't think of anyone who can match him."

"Our Xiao Shu is not only smart in mind, but also looks like a beautiful woman, a model of a boudoir lady."

She could barely accept complimenting her on other things, but complimenting her on her beauty was really telling lies with her eyes wide open.

"Brother Six, am I really as beautiful as you say?"

"Of course, look at this little face. It's rosy even without applying makeup. It's so pretty."

Gu Wangshu was completely speechless.

She is really a real brother. Her blush is obviously from the cold, and she is about to get chilblains. Is this being said to be beautiful?

Thanks to her age, otherwise she would really lose herself under the rainbow fart flattery of her brothers.

In order not to let herself get lost, she decided to follow His Highness more often.
