No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 487 Reinforcements are here!

The battle at the West City Gate did not become easier because of the success of Dasheng's strategy. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were lost, and the Gaoyu people who were consciously caught in the trap became even more furious and frantically attacked the Jianling city wall.

But the defenders were already prepared. Jiang Yan placed [-]% of the [-] elite soldiers of the Zhen Guojun in the west city, and with the help of the Yanzhou army that had just won a big victory, the west city gate was already as firm as a rock.

Many young and strong people in the city also came to help transport the utensils for defending the city, or burned a pot of hot oil and poured it down, or rolled down stones and logs to block the Gaoyu soldiers who wanted to climb the tower. horse.

There was a lot of noise on the tower, but Luo Junyao and Die Ying walked towards the general's mansion through the long street where the flames were still extinguished.

The strong and pungent smell on the street lingered for a long time, and the soldiers of the Yanzhou Army who were in charge of the aftermath were checking the corpses on the ground, and even stabbed Gao Yu who was still alive.

I couldn't help but look at Luo Junyao while walking the stacked shadows, but saw that her expression remained the same, and even her steps didn't change.

It seems that they are not walking in the place where the corpses are scattered at the moment, but on the bluestone path of Shangyong Palace.

"Isn't the princess afraid of angering Gao Yuren?" Duo Ying couldn't help asking.

Luo Jun said: "He Ruomuti's chances of succeeding in the attack in the past few days are five or five. Now even if he is provoked by us to attack Jianling, as long as the first wave fails, his morale will definitely drop a thousand miles later. If he It is still possible to choose another place, and it is impossible to capture Ximen today."

"..." Indeed, Jiang Yan not only transferred [-] town troops to the west gate, but also [-] Yanzhou troops to the west gate.

In other words, more than half of the troops defending Jianling were concentrated in the west gate. In contrast, the other three places were really weakly guarded at this time.

But it is a pity that there are indeed not many troops stationed, but He Ruomuti is not spare either.

He Ruomuti's [-] barbs and Wu Yi's [-] soldiers, the difference in strength is less than twice, to dare to besiege the city and attack the city is really a bit arrogant.

After all, it took little effort to get Chixia Pass, and it didn't take much effort to capture Xinting, so Yanzhou Army didn't take it seriously.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "He Ruomuti has suffered such a big loss, and he will never give up attacking Ximen. Even if he is willing, others may not be willing."

"Zamuhe?"

"Hmm. Marquis Yueyang said that Zamuhe is a fierce general of Gao Yu, with a somewhat arrogant personality."

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "After knowing the trick, he will definitely order a strong attack as soon as possible. Once it starts...how can it be easily stopped?"

Die Ying nodded and said, "Wangfei is right."

Luo Junyao sighed and said, "I hope Gu Jue can arrive as soon as possible."

"Princess, don't worry." Die Ying said: "General Jiang Yan said that no matter when the reinforcements arrive, he will stay till the end."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about that."

"Is the princess worried about the Qingzhou rebels going north?"

"Yes." Luo Junyao was a little puzzled, "Who is the current head of the Cao family in Qingzhou? Is there no news yet? Obviously Cao Mian is already in our hands, how can they still dance like that? This doesn't look like Cao. It’s something that saves energy.”

Die Ying shook his head and said, "Perhaps the prince has already got news, but it hasn't been delivered to us yet."

Luo Junyao waved his hand in a somewhat dispirited manner, "Forget it, it's useless to think so much."

In the General's Mansion, Mrs. Han was sitting in the hall holding her handkerchief anxiously.

There was a person lying outside the gate not far from her, with scars all over his body, motionless as if he was dead.

Han looked at the people on the ground with complex expressions and emotions.

No matter what, she was unwilling to believe that the girl who had been with her for several years and was the most caring and trustworthy girl would be Gao Yuren's spy.

How did that happen?

She is obviously a big person, when she first came to him, she was just a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old.

Han Shi stood up and wanted to go out and ask if there was something wrong.

But seeing the two Zhen Guojun guards standing at the door, Han stopped again, and could only turn around and sit back silently.

"I've seen the princess." A guard's voice came from outside the door, and Han stood up again in a startled heart.

princess?What princess?
She has been frightened for the past two days, and her mind is in chaos.

After being released before, Jiang Guanmu didn't have time to say more, so he took people to the tower, so the Han family didn't know Luo Junyao's identity.

Han Shi turned her head to look at the door, and saw that Gu Yao who claimed to be Jiang Yan's cousin came quickly with someone from outside.

When he came to Ai Ye's side, he stopped for a moment and said, "Still not willing to recruit?"

"Princess forgive me, this girl is very stubborn."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, when you turn around, throw He Ruomuti's head in front of her, and see if she will be stubborn?"

Ai Ye, who had been lying motionless on the ground, finally had a reaction. She sighed with difficulty, stared at Luo Junyao viciously, and gritted her teeth: "Even if you die, the eldest prince will be fine!"

"Presumptuous!" Die Ying said in a cold voice: "You dare to shout in front of the princess for a traitorous secret work."

"Treason?" Ai Ye sneered, "When did I say I'm from Dasheng?"

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows, and said with great interest: "So, you are from Gaoyu? No, it is someone like He Ruomuti who is criticized by Gaoyu's blood. You look like this...Gaoyu people probably won't recognize you?"

Ai Ye sneered and said nothing, Luo Junyao held his chin and looked at her for a while and said: "You are not loyal to Gao Yu, you are loyal to He Ruomuti. So... He Ruomuti already had ambitions many years ago, then At that time, he was not very old."

Ai Ye's expression changed slightly, and he realized that he had been tricked.

She glanced at Luo Jun with some disgust, then turned her head and ignored him.

Luo Junyao didn't care, and walked around her with his hands behind his back, saying, "You should have been twelve or thirteen years old when you came to Jianling City, right?"

"What kindness does He Ruomuti have for you? Or did he promise you something?" Luo Junyao continued to ask.

Ai Ye said: "I won't say anything, you don't want me to betray the eldest prince."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "You think highly of yourself. Since you are He Ruoqiuti's personal secret agent, and you have been away from him for several years, what do you know? I just need to tell He Ruoqiuti about your existence. .Although He Ruoqiuti does not look very smart, he is not really stupid. The most important thing is that there are always smart people around him."

Ai Ye's expression changed slightly, "Despicable!"

Luo Junyao said indifferently: "You have been hiding your name in Jianling for several years, planning to help your master take Jianling City all the time, and you don't think you are despicable. Everyone is in the same place, so don't act morally with me."

"Dieying, hold her down, don't put her here to be scary. Be careful, don't let anyone die." Luo Junyao ordered.

"Yes, princess." Duoying replied respectfully.

He gestured to the guard next to him, and someone immediately stepped forward and dragged Ai Ye down.

Han Shi naturally heard the movement outside in the hall, and then looked at Luo Junyao who walked in, with a look of fear on his face.

She originally thought that Gu Yao was just a delicate young lady, but the look and tone of her face when she faced Ai Ye just now made her instinctively feel a little scared.

She finally understood that they had been deceived by her before.

This Gu Yao is not innocent at all, let alone cute.

The only thing that comforted her was probably that Master Hou would not like such a woman.

"Mrs. Han, please forgive me for offending you these two days." Luo Junyao looked at Han who was hiding by the door.

Mrs. Han's three words made Han's face turn slightly pale, she quickly raised her head to look at Luo Junyao, then slightly bent her knees and said, "I have seen the princess."

The sound is like mosquitoes and flies, and it is almost inaudible a little farther away.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "There is no need to be too polite."

Seeing that there was still confusion in Han's eyes, Duo Ying said: "This is the regent princess."

Han Shi was startled, and looked at Luo Junyao in astonishment.

"Princess, regent princess?" Han said in a panic, "I asked the concubine to forgive me for my concubine's disrespect and negligence earlier."

Luo Jun said: "We came here anonymously, it's impolite first, so there's no need to do that." Just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion outside.

Before Folding Shadow could go out to check, a sharp whistle sounded from outside.

Duoying's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Princess, someone has invaded the General's Mansion."

Luo Junyao was not surprised, and said, "Go out and have a look."

It is extremely important to defend the city today, so almost all the forces in the city went to the tower.

At this time, there were almost no one in the General's Mansion except the guards and the people who protected Han's mother and son.

Seeing the two get up and go out, Han said a little scared, "Wang, Wangfei."

Luo Jun shook his head and said to her: "Madam Han, don't run around, there are people protecting your son and your daughter."

While speaking, the people who invaded the mansion rushed to the yard in front of the main hall.Folded Shadow was the first to go up to meet them and started a fight with several Gao Yu people.

You Yue stabbed a knife in Luo Junyao's hand, and Luo Junyao also joined the fight in a flash.

Han Shi hid behind the door, watching through the crack of the door that Luo Junyao and Die Ying quickly dealt with those Gao Yu people who broke in.

The bright red blood and the faint smell of blood in the air made Han cover his lips in fright, not daring to speak out.

When the guards from the mansion arrived, the two had already dealt with all the Gao Yu people who broke in.

Seeing Luo Junyao calmly standing among several corpses, even the guards of the General's Mansion looked at Luo Junyao slightly changed.

"What's going on?" Duoying asked in a deep voice.

The leading guard quickly said: "Forgive me, my lord. These Gao Yu people suddenly appeared at the back door. They were extremely ferocious. The guards outside the door did not stop them for a while."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "We have nothing to do, just don't scare Mrs. Han, it's hard to explain when Marquis Yueyang is back."

Everyone lowered their heads in shame. As the guards of the General's Mansion, they couldn't even stop a few people and asked the guests to help.

If it weren't for these two being here, maybe Madam would have been held hostage by Gao Yuren.

"Young lady taught me a lesson." The guards obviously didn't know Luo Junyao's identity.

Seeing that it was quiet outside, Mrs. Han cautiously came out and wanted to explain. Luo Junyao waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Han, it's still chaotic outside. Don't go out casually. Let's go out and have a look."

"Yes." Han replied in a low voice, looking at the back of Luo Junyao and Duoying leaving with complicated expressions.

At this time, He Ruomuti outside the city was in a more complicated mood, and he was still fighting hard in front of the tower ahead.The sky was already bright, the sun rose from the east, and the entire Jianling tower was bathed in faint sunlight.

He Ruomuti's mood seemed to have sunk into ice water.

"Eldest Prince." Jamuhe rode over and looked at He Ruomuti's expressionless face.

He Ruomuti knew that Jamuka was also a little angry with himself. If he hadn't wanted to take Jianling City lightly and just attacked the city step by step, Gao Yu would not have suffered such a big loss.

Although Gao Yu produced warriors, everyone was brave and good at fighting, but it was not so easy to cultivate real elite soldiers.

In less than half an hour this morning, they lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

"This time it's all Xiao Wang's fault." He Ruomu said: "General Zamuhe, please rest assured, everything with my father will be borne by Xiao Wang."

Hearing this, Jamuka's expression eased a little, and he sighed, "Now is not the time to talk about these things, the most important thing is to win Jianling City."

"What the general said is true." He Ruomu said: "In the opinion of the general, how should we fight this battle?"

Looking at the tower in front of him, Jamuhe said in a deep voice: "If we retreat now, our army's morale will definitely drop a thousand miles, and we will not be able to recover in a short time. If we take a break, reinforcements from Dasheng will definitely arrive. Now... we can only attack Jianling City in one go!"

Jamuka didn't say that if Jianling could not be captured within two days, maybe they would have to make another plan.

Pingshan Fort can only deal with the Yanzhou Army, which is not superior in strength, but cannot withstand large-scale reinforcements.

He Ruomuti nodded but did not speak, he also knew that there was no other way at the moment.

The battle lasted from the early morning till the hour of Chen.

The west gate of Jianling City is still in the hands of the defenders, motionless.

Gao Yu's soldiers and horses under the tower became more and more irritable, and the faces of Jamuka and He Ruomuti became more and more ugly.

Suddenly there was a heavy sound from a distance, as if thousands of troops were galloping towards this side.

"What's going on?!" He Ruomuti said angrily.

He Ruomuti sat on the horseback and looked into the distance. The smoke and dust billowed in the farther place, obviously there were soldiers and horses coming towards this direction.

"Prince, are reinforcements here?"

He Ruomuti frowned and said nothing, and after a while his expression changed slightly and he said: "No, it's not Gao Yu's soldiers, but Dasheng people!"

"But, it seems to be coming from the direction of Xinting." She Sai beside him said doubtfully.

He Ruomuti's face became more and more ugly, and he clenched the reins tightly and gritted his teeth: "The Dasheng people came in from the Chixia Pass! You bastard! Come here, send an order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops! Retreat to the southeast!"

Before He Ruomuti finished speaking, he saw a scout soldier galloping towards him not far away.

While facing this way, he shouted: "Report to the eldest prince! Chixia Pass has fallen! The Zhen Guojun Gu Jue led his troops to attack from the direction of Xinting!"

He Ruomuti's expression was ashen and defeated, he gritted his teeth and said: "Withdraw the troops!" If they don't withdraw, they will be surrounded.

The horn sounded, and Gao Yu's soldiers and horses who were attacking the city retreated southeast like the tide amidst the sound of the horn.

Jiang Yan and Jiang Guanmu on the tower naturally also saw this scene, they stood on the tower and saw farther than He Ruomuti.

The two looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile on their faces, "Reinforcements are here!"

Jiang Yan said in a deep voice: "Send a signal to General Gu! Open the city gate and chase Gao Yu people!"
