The Almighty Princess just wants to farm

Chapter 130 Defending to the Death

"General Liao, is this Liangcheng... really undefendable?"

"Whether we can hold it or not, the first thing we have to ensure is the safety of every citizen. Only when they are safe can this battle be meaningful."

Liao Ming's words made Chaha slump. From the beginning to the end, he never thought about the safety of the people. Even when he was generously volunteering at the city gate, all he thought about was that Daru's army could not be defeated. Entering the city, he couldn't let them enter the city while he was alive before. He... couldn't afford to lose face...

"The last general Chaha is just following the orders of General Liao."

Chaha clasped his hands in his fists, knelt on one knee, and spoke with a sonorous voice.

"General Chaha, please rise. You and I are both commanders of the same army. The most important thing right now is how to defend Liangcheng with insufficient manpower until the prince's reinforcements arrive."

Liao Ming helped Chaha up, and the two of them looked at the military exercise diagram in front of them, but neither of them spoke.

"We have too few manpower and can only defend but not attack. Divide all the soldiers into three teams and take turns defending every day. I will let the cavalrymen guard the city wall all the time. Once Daru's army attacks, one of the three teams will be left behind. To protect the people, one team guards the city gate, and the other team goes up the city wall to assist the cavalry. What does General Chaha think?"

After a long time, Liao Ming broke the silence in the room.

"Okay, just do as General Liao said."

"In addition, let the soldiers prepare tung oil and give them a fatal blow if necessary."

"Yes, I'll have someone prepare it right now."

Chaha volunteered and left.

"Your Majesty, let's take a rest. According to the current speed, we will definitely be able to reach Liangcheng before noon tomorrow. Marching in a hurry will not be conducive to tomorrow's battle."

Dongfang Li reined in the reins and looked at Nangong Xu beside him.

"The whole army rests on the spot!"

Nangong Xu stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The team behind him immediately stopped when they saw it.

The order prohibits it, that's probably what it means. Dongfang Li's eyes when looking at Nangong Xu were filled with little stars of admiration.

"Let Ah Li meet the Xu family army in a few days. That will be the real order and prohibition."

Nangong Xu looked back at the soldiers who were scattered around, and gave a rare pout, and rolled his eyes at the same time.

"Your Majesty, you learn things quickly."

Dongfang Li saw his expression and couldn't help teasing him.

"This is also thanks to the princess's words and deeds."

Nangong Xu handed his water bag to Dongfang Li, dug out a handful of clean snow from the side of the tree, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"Just eat it like this and it won't be too cold."

Dongfang Li wiped the water droplets from his mouth with his sleeve.

"Get used to it. It's early spring and you can still find snow. Autumn is the hardest time."

"From now on, you will take me with you wherever you go. I guarantee that you will have no worries in these aspects."

"Ali, is there anything you can do?"

Although Nangong Xu has seen many differences in Dongfang Li, it is really not easy to get water in dry autumn. He has tried many methods, but none of them are satisfactory.

"Of course, have you forgotten who I am? I come from a world thousands of years in the future, so I don't have to worry about these things."

"Nonsense, Ali is just my Ali..."

"Yes, I am Dongfang Li, the princess of Prince Xu's Mansion, and also your wife."

Dongfang Li grabbed Nangong Xu's arm and gently leaned her head on it.

"Ali...will you go back?"

Nangong Xu asked a question that had been pressing in his heart for a long time.

"Go back? Where?"

Dongfang Li didn't realize what he was talking about for a while.

"Go back... to the place you came from, a place I have never understood and will never find..."

"Nangong Xu, do you know? When I first came here, I was thinking about how to go back every moment. But as time went by, I began to like this place, the air here, the quietness and comfort here. Life, now... there is another you."

"So... what does Ali mean?"

Nangong Xu wanted an accurate answer.

"I like it here, so I won't go back. I want to stay with you and keep going..."

Dongfang Li tilted his head and looked at Nangong Xu with a smile.

"it is good."

Nangong Xu looked at her red lips, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help turning his head and rolling his eyes at the soldiers who were scattered around.

boo~~

Dongfang Li saw this and kissed him hard on the cheek.

"Naughty."

Nangong Xu reached out and pinched her nose, his eyes full of endearment.

After resting for about half an hour, the team set off again.

cool city.

Liao Ming, who once again guarded the city gate, rested tiredly against the root of the city wall.

"General, if Daru's army continues to attack like this, we may not be able to hold on for long."

"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on. We have to hold on to this door. I guess the prince will be here soon."

Liao Ming roughly calculated the date and itinerary.

"Yes, don't worry, we can survive. When the prince comes, we can have a good fight."

"Yes, the battle has been really frustrating these past few days. When has our Xu family army ever been so fearful?"

"General, you go down and have a rest. We'll be here to guard you. Don't worry."

The guards on the city wall once again stood at their posts.

Liao Ming looked at it, nodded happily, stood up, tidied his armor, and walked down the tower to inspect other locations.

Well……

Liao Ming had just walked halfway when Daru's horn blew again, and the war drums on the city wall also sounded "dong dong dong".

Liao Ming quickly returned to the city wall, and the other three teams in the city heard the horn sound and ran to the city wall, ready to fight at any time.

Outside Liang City, Daru's army gathered densely outside the city gate, as if they were well prepared.

"Prepare the tung oil! Prepare the flint!"

"Ready!"

"put!"

Following Liao Ming's order, barrels of tung oil poured down from the city wall, followed closely by countless flints.

Hot kerosene was poured on the bodies of Daru's army, and screams filled the ground. Each flaming man rolled on the ground. If he accidentally touched other people, the people he touched would follow him.

One pass to ten, ten to one hundred, Daru's army suddenly burst into flames, but more people still avoided the fire oil and climbed to the city wall step by step along the ladder.

"Soldiers, come with me... kill!"

"kill!"

For a time, various sounds came from the city wall.

"Your Majesty, something happened in Liangcheng. Hurry, everyone, hurry up..."

Dongfang Li felt a heat in the air.

"How is Liangcheng?"

Nangong Xu asked while speeding up.

"I don't know. I just felt heat. It must have been kerosene..."
