The poisonous concubine was reborn, married to her ex’s nemesis and was favored exclusively

"Sir, something bad has happened, sir!"

Inside Wutuo Pass, the city guards rushed into the room of the city lord of Wutuo Pass.

"What's the fuss about? What happened?"

City Lord Udon was suddenly awakened from his sleep and looked impatiently at the guards in front of him.

"It's Ouri, Ouri's army is coming!"

The guard pointed in the direction of the city gate, his voice trembling out of fear.

"what?"

Udon quickly stood up from the bed and grabbed the guard's collar: "Ouri's army has already come?"

"Yes, Oali's army is right outside the city gate and will attack at any time..."

The guard nodded repeatedly.

"It's not that the third prince led the army to guard Nanlinguan. How could Dali's army appear here without making a sound? Could it be that..."

Udon's expression changed, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The guard hurriedly asked the city lord Udon for instructions.

"The enemy is currently facing us, and of course we will fight to the death with Dali! This is our territory in Xiqi, and we will never allow the young people of Dali to act arrogantly!"

Udon yelled angrily.

"Yes!"

When the guard heard the city lord Udon's expression of determination, he suddenly had a backbone and felt much more stable.

"You go to the city gate first, I'll be there soon!"

Udon turned around and picked up the armor on the side, and at the same time gave instructions to the guards on the side.

"Yes!"

The guards immediately took the order and left, preparing to defend and fight Ouri to the death.

After the guard disappeared, Udon quickly threw down the armor in his hand, turned around and returned to the room. He groped under the pillow and dug out all his savings over the years. He then climbed out of the window, got on his horse and slipped away through the back door.

What a joke, even the third prince who led an army of hundreds of thousands was no match for the Dali people. There were only three thousand city guards in Utuoguan, how could they possibly hold it? He didn't want to die in such an unclear manner.

At this moment, the city guards who were guarding the city had no idea about this. They only knew that the city lord ordered to defend Wutuo Pass. Facing the overwhelming offensive of Oli's army, they only managed to hold on for a few times before the trees fell and the hozens scattered at the city gate. was breached.

"Master Marquis, we are fortunate to have fulfilled our destiny. Wutuoguan has been captured!"

Wei Hong, the general of the Huwei Army, hugged his fists at Su Zhenyuan and grinned.

"Well, clean up the battlefield and set off immediately to the next town."

Su Zhennan nodded, his troops were very fast, and before Xiqi could react, he wanted to capture as many towns as possible.

"Yes!"

Wei Hong clasped his fists, then led the army to quickly clean up the battlefield, and then continued to advance deeper into Xiqi.

Originally there were only city guards, and they were unprepared and had no power to fight back against the mighty tiger army. By the time the sun rose, Su Zhenyuan had led the army deeper than 100 miles into Xiqi, conquering four towns in a row until the army When they attacked the fifth town, Xiqi finally came to his senses.

"Report! Urgent report from the front! The five passes including Nanlin Pass, Wutuo Pass, and Meng Pass have all been captured by the Dali people. They are currently attacking the sixth pass, Hanyuan Pass."

The messengers rushed eight hundred miles away, rushed straight into the imperial city, and said directly to Tianhan.

"What? Where is the third prince? Didn't he lead an army of hundreds of thousands to guard Nanlin Pass? How come there was no movement at all? Is he dead?"

Xiqi Tianhan's face was covered with frost. In just one day, he was defeated by Oli in six cities. This was absolutely a shame and humiliation for him and the entire Xiqi.

"Three princes..."

The messenger opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Tell me, what are you doing? If you don't tell me, will I chop your head off?"

Tianhan's eyes were filled with anger, and he looked coldly at the kneeling messenger below.

"When Dali attacked, the Third Prince was not in Nanlin Pass. He had already advanced and divided into two groups to attack Beikui Pass and Guyan Pass in Dali."

The messenger didn't dare to hide anything anymore and spoke quickly.

"Asshole! I just ordered him to focus on guarding Nanlin Pass. Who asked him to make the decision privately to attack the other two passes of Dali?! Go and send him a message. If he doesn't withdraw quickly, I will directly depose him as the prince. , demote him to a commoner!"

Xiqi Tianhan scolded in a cold voice. While he was annoyed, he was also really scared. According to the current speed, Oli's army would probably attack the Imperial City in less than half a month. With only 8,000 defenders in the Imperial City, I'm afraid They couldn't stand it at all. The best way now was to let Sanzi lead the army back as soon as possible, block the retreat of Ouri's army and cut off their supplies. In this way, they might still have some chance of winning.

"Yes!"

The messenger clasped his fists, turned and left.

"Father, my son said at the beginning that he should not give so many troops to the third brother, and should pay more attention to the safety of the imperial city. Otherwise, when the third brother has the military power, he will definitely have second thoughts. Looking at it now, it turns out that it is not what the child said. material."

The eldest prince Dake stepped forward. The brothers below him had always been eyeing his position as the first heir. Now that there was finally a chance to step on him, he would not miss it.

"Then do you have any other good plans now?"

Tianhan's face darkened, and then he looked at his sons below.

"Father, I think that instead of being passive, we should take the initiative and mobilize all the city guards along the road. Together, there are nearly 300,000 people. Coupled with the strong walls of the imperial city, we will surely If we can delay enough, when the third brother arrives with the army, we still don’t know who will win!”

The fourth prince Likun stepped forward and proposed.

"No, in this way, although the imperial city is saved, without the delay of the city guards, the speed of Ouri's army moving south will definitely increase sharply, and there will be no losses along the way. It will only become more difficult to deal with. I think, Don't move the city guards along the way. Let them stick to their respective towns and try every means to delay the consumption of Ouri's army and buy us time. During this time, we can mobilize troops from various small towns in the south, although the number is small. It’s a bit strange, but it’s the safest way.”

Before Li Kun finished speaking, the second prince Jones stepped forward and presented his plan.

"Father..."

The eldest prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince on the side were not to be outdone. They rushed to speak and wanted to offer their own strategies, but they were interrupted by Xiqi Tianhan with a wave of his hand: "That's enough!"

Xiqi Tianhan's eyes narrowed and fell on the second prince beside him: "I think Jones's method is very good. Send an order. The city guards along the way may not stick to the towns. If anyone abandons the city and flees, or surrenders to Dali, he will be punished. Nine tribes!",

"Yes!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and responded in unison. A bit of pride flashed on the face of the second prince Jones. His father had adopted his strategy, so he would naturally look up to him. The chance of seizing the throne was even greater. .

At the same time, a black falcon descended from the sky like an arrow and landed on the Third Prince's carriage.
