The journey originally took 8 to 10 days, but Murong Hao simply shortened the trip to 5 days.

Early in the morning, the army arrived on a flat grassland 3 miles outside Langu City.

This was the first time for Murong Hao to go to the northern border. He learned from the map that this place was a large area of ​​grassland. When he actually arrived, he could see the vast and boundless grassland with his own eyes. He was still shocked by the sight in front of him. This kind of sight With endless grassland in sight, it is really not easy to defend a small blue ancient city.

Enemy troops can surround Lan Ancient City from all directions, and staying in the city is like waiting for someone to catch a turtle in a jar.

Only now could he truly appreciate the difficulty of General Wang Jiangping's defense of the city.

He picked up the high-power military telescope Xi'er gave him and saw that the gate of Langu City was closed in the distance, and the city was surrounded by the army of Beimu Kingdom.

To the south of Lan Ancient City, the spies who wanted to come to Beimu Kingdom got the news that he was coming to rescue. Tens of thousands of soldiers were waiting for his arrival in his direction.

Murong Hao put down the telescope and looked at Tianyi aside.

"Tianyi, how long will it take for our army's gunpowder soldiers and food and grass to reach us?"

"Back to Your Highness, the gunpowder soldiers and the grain and grass battalion are on the road without sleep, and they won't be able to arrive until the afternoon at the earliest." Tianyi replied respectfully.

"Well, you can arrive in the afternoon. Is there any way to find out the news in Lan Ancient City?" Murong Hao asked seriously.

"Your Highness, the soldiers of Beimu Kingdom have now completely surrounded Langu City. Our carrier pigeons cannot fly in at all."

Tianyi had just tried to release a carrier pigeon without a letter to Lan Ancient City. The carrier pigeon had just flown over the heads of the soldiers of Beimu Kingdom and was shot dead.

"Well, it seems that Lan Ancient City has not been broken yet, otherwise the soldiers of Beimu Kingdom would not stand outside the city honestly." Murong Hao seemed to be talking to himself.

"Yes, our spies just came to report that Nanmen Zhou, the second prince of Beimu Kingdom, has just assembled his army to besiege the city again. At this moment, he should still be clamoring with the generals in the city." Tian Yi told the news he had just received.

"Wait a minute, after they started fighting, our 6 cavalrymen were divided into three teams. 3 soldiers fought hard to resist the enemy troops guarding us at the south gate. The other two teams were divided into 1.5 soldiers each and attacked their east and west gates respectively. The two teams only need to disrupt their military morale and not be reluctant to fight. We should lead them to the south to surround and kill them together."

Murong Hao had just discovered through the telescope that the largest military force of Beimu Kingdom was at the north gate, and the combined strength of the other three city gates was only about 6 at most.

Now he could not go around the north gate from the south gate. He thought that the Wangjiang boat coming to the city could withstand the attack from the north gate. He used the Wangjiang boat to disperse the enemy forces in the three gates, and it would be easy to deal with it when the gunpowder soldiers arrived in the afternoon. .

Murong Hao was thinking about how to fight this battle, but Tianyi had already informed him that the 6 cavalry were well-trained and were quickly divided into three teams according to Murong Hao's military orders, and he knew the mission of his team.

After seeing the teams assigned, Murong Hao said loudly on his horse:

"Soldiers of the cavalry battalion, our mission today is not to enter the city. Our mission is to hold back the enemy troops at the three city gates for General Wang Jiangding. Let's fight hard. I believe in your strength, and everyone must also believe in it. The new weapons in your hands, our weapons are the toughest weapons in the four countries. Do you have the confidence to work with me to repel the enemy?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" all the cavalry shouted, and for a time the whole grassland was filled with the deafening response of the cavalry.

In Lan Ancient City, the soldiers on the south tower looked confused when they heard the deafening sound in the distance.

"Who is that person over there?" The little soldier rubbed his eyes, unable to see clearly the person who was looming over the team in a dark voice.

"I don't know, I'll go find the deputy general." Another soldier with a gray face opened his eyes wide, but still couldn't see who they were. He hurriedly ran along the city wall to the north gate to find their deputy general.

The deputy general's name was Pan Guozhen, and he quickly rushed from the north gate wall to the south gate.

He looked down the city tower and saw about 2 enemy troops from Beimu Kingdom. Could those soldiers in the distance also be new soldiers from Beimu Kingdom?

He visually estimated that there were at least 5 soldiers in the dark area. If another 5 enemy troops came from the south gate, it would be difficult to defend Langu City today.

Pan Guozhen sighed. In order to defend Langu City yesterday, General Wang Jiangping took dozens of soldiers out of the north city gate to lure the enemy at the most stalemate moment of the battle in the evening, and drew the enemy's attention to chasing him. Wang This feat of the general gave the entire ancient city of Lan an extra night of peace.

General Wang gave him a death order before leaving the city. There was no need to worry about his life or death. As long as the reinforcements arrived, they would win.

Now General Wang Jiangding does not know whether to live or die. Today, the important task of defending the city has been handed over to him, Pan Guozhen. Although he feels great pressure, he must, like General Wang, defend Lan Gucheng to the death.

Murong Hao kept looking at the situation on the city wall with a telescope. This modern telescope is really a good thing. It can see the faces and expressions of people far away.

He saw a man wearing a lieutenant's armor coming up on the city wall, and he said hurriedly.

"Tianyi, hurry up, take out the orange flag, the deputy general is at the south gate."

The Dongsheng Kingdom's army has a rule that as long as they see an orange flag with a yellow border, it means that one of their own is coming.

Soon, Tianyi waved a large orange flag in front of the army.

In the city, Lieutenant General Pan Guozhen was about to leave the South City Gate when a soldier saw an orange flag waving in the distance opposite.

"Vice General Pan, it's an orange flag. Have our reinforcements arrived?" the soldier said happily.

We must know that they have been struggling to defend the city in the past few days. How many brothers died in front of them. Even their commander-in-chief, General Wang, personally lured the enemy to death. They thought that they might not be able to wait for reinforcements this time. Although the lieutenants looked calm, Calm down, but in the past two days, the lieutenants will instruct all soldiers that as long as they see the orange and yellow-edged flags, it means that reinforcements have arrived.

If they are saved, they probably won't die in this small blue ancient city.

When Pan Guozhen heard the little soldier's words, he turned around and looked seriously into the distance.

It is true that the reinforcements have arrived, but after thinking about it carefully, I think it is impossible. According to the military information sent by General Wang to the court, it will take at least 3 to 5 days for the reinforcements to arrive. How come they have arrived today?

However, Pan Guozhen received a military order from the court two days ago, saying that the commander of the reinforcements this time was His Highness the Crown Prince. He immediately understood that if His Highness the Crown Prince led the troops, it would be possible to reach Lan Ancient City so quickly. The Crown Prince cherished the soldiers the most, and wanted to The 8 soldiers in Zhulan Ancient City are in danger, and he should try his best to reach them as soon as possible.

Murong Hao kept looking at Pan Guozhen's expression through binoculars. He seemed a little confused.

"Cavalry, wave this general's flag."

Murong Hao understood that he came too quickly with his troops. It was a normal reaction for the deputy general in the city to have doubts. If there was no doubt, it also meant that the deputy general was too easy to be deceived.

"Yes." The cavalryman kept holding Murong Hao's coach flag and waved it at his command.

When Pan Guozhen saw another flag, he finally put aside his doubts.

It's true that he is the prince's coach.

The prince's flag is very special. His flag is very big. The prince likes to wear black clothes. His flag is naturally black, but most generals use red for the word "coach" in the middle. Only the prince likes to use orange, and the generals The coach character will have the last name written on it, while the prince's handsome character will have his first name written on it, with the orange "Hao" character.
