Chapter 506: King Yue Saves the Day
At Hangu Pass, in Meng Yan's general's tent, Meng Yan was half naked, letting the military doctor bandage him.

Jiang Huan watched him from the side, half of his body was covered in blood, and his clothes seemed to be pulled apart when they were taken off. Seeing Meng Yan grimacing, he hurriedly said to the military doctor, "Be gentle."

"It's already very mild." The military doctor rolled his eyes at him. General Meng was fine, but General Jiang felt sorry for him. He wasn't hurt.

Meng Yan endured the pain, glanced at himself, and hissed twice, "Give me a quick death."

The military doctor looked at him and without any hesitation, he quickly pulled off the half of the clothes that was connected to the skin.

"Ah!" Meng Yan jumped up, causing the military doctor to stagger.

When Jiang Huan saw the blood flowing violently, he rushed forward and held him down.

Together with the military doctor, they quickly bandaged him.

The military doctor admired him a little and advised, "General Meng, you should rest in the tent for the next few days. It will help your wounds heal."

"This little injury is nothing. I can still kill him a few more times."

The military doctor rolled his eyes at him, said nothing, and went out. Jiang Huan held him down, fearing that he would really run away. "At least leave us some opportunities. We also want to earn some military merits."

If he doesn't earn more military merits, Lu Ye will surpass him.

And Meng Yan's temper was two levels higher than his. Jiang Huan was not convinced. Now that there was finally a big battle, he had to accumulate more military merits to restore the glory of his ancestors.

Speaking of fighting, Meng Yan calmed down and analyzed the enemy situation with Jiang Huan. "This time, the Western Rong and Fan Jue are coming with great force. I'm afraid they won't withdraw until they take over Hangu Pass. Their attacks are getting more and more fierce. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it."

"The imperial court's reinforcements are on the way."

Meng Yan looked at him and said, "I know you are the King of Yue's man and you trust him. But he leads the troops from the camp outside the capital."

It's not that Meng Yan looked down on the soldiers in the camp outside the capital. It's mainly because those people are used to enjoying the good life in the capital and have never felt the cruelty of the battlefield. Moreover, there are too many sons of nobles among them, and most of them have no experience of fighting in the battlefield. Even though there are 200,000 of them, only half of them can really fight.

Jiang Huan fell silent.

He also didn't trust the soldiers in the camp outside the capital. He would rather transfer some soldiers from the nearby garrisons. Even if the number was insufficient, their fighting power was stronger than those of the elite disciples.

But in the end, he still said, "I believe in the King of Yue."

The King of Yue had the same aspirations as him, not wanting to fight a battle without preparation. Both of them had been lying in wait for too long and wanted to succeed too much.

Moreover, such a big matter concerns the country and the people. I believe that the King of Yue will have a scale in his heart and will put aside the past grudges for the time being.

This battle was particularly important to the King of Yue.

"You think so highly of him?"

"He's the only one I can trust."

He is the only one who can be trusted? What kind of argument is this?
But Jiang Huan stopped talking.

In the early morning, just as the sky was getting light, the war drums of Hangu Pass suddenly sounded, becoming more and more urgent and frequent.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Dense crowds of people quickly rushed out of the military tents and formed up in battle formation at a very fast speed. These days, the soldiers slept with their clothes on and their weapons were mostly held in their arms. Before the drums of war stopped beating, they had already formed up.

"Kill, kill!" The sound of killing shook the sky.

Jiang Huan and Lu Ye organized their respective teams and led them to the city wall.

The first wave of enemy soldiers that jumped over the wall were quickly killed. More enemy soldiers climbed up the wall, and more of them rushed towards Hangu Pass.

Dense arrows were shot at the enemy, and as one group fell, another group rushed up. The soldiers on the wall fell one after another, and wave after wave of soldiers rushed up.

The fighting was extremely fierce.

The enemy soldiers carrying huge logs smashed the gate of Hangu Pass again and again, and the banging sounds rang in the ears of every Da Qi soldier.

"Hold, hold!"

Fang Sheng chopped down the enemy soldiers who climbed up the city wall one after another. He could not even raise his hands and could only wave them mechanically.

"Marshal, this won't work. Let me lead a team to fight them out!"

They cannot just stand there and defend passively. The enemy outnumbers them and has already rushed to the city. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long.

"No, once the gate is opened, the enemy will take advantage of the situation to come in." We will not be able to resist then.

"I will not leave through the city gate, but hang myself from the city wall."

"Shut up!" If they got down from the city wall, the enemy outside would just shoot them into sieves. Even if they were protected, the enemy below was so numerous that they would just die.

He couldn't bear to see his soldiers go to their deaths.

"Marshal, I am willing to do this."

"Marshal, I am also willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

Lu Ye watched the soldiers who were asking for battle kneel halfway in front of the marshal, and turned his head to look at the enemy troops gathering more and more under the city wall. He also wanted to jump down from the city wall and charge in. At least it could slow down the enemy's attack and deal with the enemy troops that were smashing the city gate first, which would at least give our army a break.

But there are probably not many people with his skills, and without anyone to protect him, no matter how good his skills are, he cannot defeat the enemy's massive army.

He took the bow and arrow from an archer on the wall, quickly aimed at a general in the enemy army, pulled the bowstring to full length, and suddenly let go, and the arrow flew away...

bingo!

"General Lu is mighty!" "Mighty, mighty!"

The morale of the Daqi soldiers on the city wall was greatly shaken. Fang Sheng and the other generals also looked at Lu Ye and were greatly encouraged. The enemy generals fell to the ground and chaos broke out.

I thought the other side would withdraw, but unexpectedly the offensive became even more fierce.

This is a fight to the death.

Xirong and Fanjue also knew that the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them, so they launched a general attack before dawn when everyone was resting.

"Marshal, it's bad, the city gate can't be defended!"

"Block it, block it for me!"

Once the gate of Hangu Pass was breached, the consequences would be disastrous. Even if they didn't die in the battle, they would not survive. Fang Sheng knew the outcome best. He would be the second Duke Lu, and their Fang family would be the second Lu family.

Unlike the Lu family, their Fang family will be infamous for eternity.

"Hold on!"

The city gate was still ajar, and enemy troops had already squeezed in.

"Kill!" Meng Yan dragged his wounded body and his big knife all the way to the city gate, chopping anyone he saw, like chopping melons and vegetables. Soon he was surrounded by dozens of enemy soldiers, and was chopped several times.

When a big knife came towards his head, Meng Yan closed his eyes. This way of dying was considered to be worthy of his ancestors.

As a result, he only heard a ding sound, and the big knife that was about to chop off his head seemed to be deflected by someone and did not fall on his head.

Before he could understand, he was suddenly pulled away. When he looked more closely, more than half of the dozens of enemy soldiers surrounding him had fallen before him.

Looking more closely, there was a person wearing black clothes riding on a maroon horse who looked like a fairy. He was holding a long spear and sweeping across the area in front of him, stabbing, poking, and chopping. In the blink of an eye, dozens of enemies died under the man's horse. Before Meng Yan could take a closer look at what the fairy looked like, he saw that the man had already flown out of the half-open city gate on horseback. He had only followed him for two steps when he was almost trampled to death by dozens of strong horses around him.

In the blink of an eye, dozens, hundreds, and thousands of cavalrymen flew out from the half-open city gate.

Meng Yan was stunned when he heard a loud shout: "Reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here!"

Everyone listened as if to nature's music, and their morale soared in an instant. "Close the city gate, close the city gate!" The open city gate was immediately closed.

The enemy troops that entered first were killed inside the city gate.

Everyone ran towards the city wall again. Meng Yan also ran towards the city wall. Halfway through, he heard the marshal shouting as if he had taken a powerful pill: "Archers, get ready, provide cover for them! Cover!"

Meng Yan rushed to the city wall and looked down, seeing a fierce fighting going on below. The only thing in his eyes was that fairy-like person.

He grabbed Jiang Huan and asked, "Who is that person?"

Jiang Huan did not answer him. Seeing Lu Ye had already jumped down from the city wall, he broke free from Meng Yan and jumped down too.

Meng Yan's hands were empty, and he looked down hastily, only to see Lu Ye and Jiang Huan had already rushed to the man's side, and like left and right bodyguards, they started hacking at the enemy.

Meng Yan suddenly understood, "Is that the King of Yue?" he asked Fang Sheng who was standing beside him.

Fang Sheng nodded blankly. He had never actually seen the King of Yue, but he knew he was.

"King of Yue, the King of Yue is here!" "Cover, cover!"

With the words "The King of Yue is coming", all the soldiers on the city wall became excited. The imperial court sent people to rescue them. The imperial court did not give up on them!
The hacking was more powerful, the cheers were deafening, and the archers' accuracy seemed to be enhanced, with every shot hitting the target.

Soon, more reinforcements arrived. Fang Sheng ordered his men to open the city gates and led a team to rush out.

The two sides fought until the sun was at its highest point in the sky, and the fierce battle ended with the other side calling off the battle.

King Zhao Guangyuan of Yue became famous in one battle.

In Fang Sheng's tent, Zhao Guangyuan was being bandaged by a military doctor. This battle was extremely difficult. He fought hard.

Although his martial arts skills were not bad, he had no experience in fighting enemies, so he was very clumsy at first. After chopping more people, he gradually became proficient. However, he was also chopped many times by the knife.

Fang Sheng and a group of generals stood in the tent. They watched the military doctor bandage the King of Yue while secretly looking at him.

This is the King of Yue.

Why is it different from what was rumored?
This method of killing the enemy is more straightforward and efficient than that of the rest of them. How come? Didn't they say that the King of Yue was soaked in a wine jar in the imperial mausoleum all those years? And didn't they say that his body was damaged by the wine?

Everyone couldn't help but secretly shift their gaze downwards, but the King of Yue simply glanced at them indifferently. The majestic gaze in his eyes made them shiver.

This damn royal bloodline.

They were suppressed to death.

This damn rumor. They had originally scoffed at the news that the King of Yue was leading the army. Who on earth is spreading this rumor? Come out, I will beat you to death!

The military doctor was frightened by his power and stiffened, "King Yue, it's all right, it's all right."

"Thank you. You've worked hard."

"No, no, no, it's not hard." The military doctor was shocked that the King of Yue was like this!
He likes this kind of King Yue.

He breathed a sigh of relief and left.

"Fang Sheng, the general guarding Hangu Pass, led his troops to meet the King of Yue."

"Meet the King of Yue."

"No gift."

All the generals reported their names one by one, and the general from the capital also reported his name, and everyone met them one by one.

But only a part of the generals from the capital came. Zhao Guangyuan received the battle report from Hangu Pass and took the lead to lead a vanguard team to provide support on horseback. The main force was still behind and would take several days to arrive.

After reporting the names, they looked familiar. The generals at Hangu Pass thought that the King of Yue would summarize and mobilize the war, but in the end, "Let's all go to eat, and we will discuss the strategy against the enemy in the afternoon."

"Yes." Fang Sheng answered on behalf of the other generals. They had been fighting for the whole morning, since before dawn, and everyone was exhausted, with some of them injured.

Everyone left the general's tent and gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter.

"I didn't expect the King of Yue to be like this. I misunderstood him at the time." He was like a fairy. They, the rough guys, felt ashamed in front of him. And they didn't expect the King of Yue to be so brave!
At that time, the King of Yue led thousands of soldiers to fight against hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside the city. Just their courage shocked everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement. When they first heard that the King of Yue was leading the army, everyone had some thoughts in their mind.

A prince is coming! Which prince in the capital has ever been to the battlefield? I'm afraid he is here to collect credit. Everyone has no hope for him, and just hopes that he won't cause trouble.

I didn't hold much hope for the 200,000 soldiers from Beijing, but I didn't expect that the King of Yue would be like this.

Young and good at fighting!
It is the blessing of Hangu Pass.

Meng Yan was the last one to leave the tent, just to get a closer look at the King of Yue. After leaving the tent, he followed Lu Ye and Jiang Huan closely, listening to everyone's praises for the King of Yue, and grinning.

He nudged the two brothers and suddenly said, "Good brothers." and moved closer.

The way his two good brothers jumped down from the city wall this morning was so cool! He was stunned by their skill.

Jiang Huan glanced at him and said, "No, General Meng is still our immediate superior."

"There is no such thing as a direct superior. We are brothers, brothers who have shared life and death." Before long, these two will be ranked above him. There is no disadvantage in following the King of Yue.

The King of Yue saved him at the city gate this morning. If it weren't for the King of Yue, he would be dead now.

Meng Yan decided that from now on he was also the King of Yue's man.

Ignoring the objections from Lu Jiang and the others, he squeezed in between them and went to get food together.

Inside the commander's tent, Zhao Guangyuan put on his clothes again. Fang Er and Zhang Zhi came forward to take a closer look and touched them. "My Lord, what's the secret of this dress?"

His outer garment was chopped to pieces, but his chest was not injured at all. Only his arms were covered with scars.

"Is this the legendary golden soft armor?"

Fang Er slapped Zhang Zhi's hand away, "Are you blind? Is this gold thread? This is clearly black, you can't see the black part!"

"Black silk soft armor?"

Fang Er rolled his eyes. How could it be seen that it was black silk? It was clearly a black jacket.

But there must be some secret in this jacket, which helped the prince block dozens of knives. Otherwise, I'm afraid the prince would not be able to sit here peacefully.

Zhao Guangyuan did not hide it from them and nodded, "It is armor that can help resist external forces." I'm afraid they don't understand what bulletproof vest is.

He touched the small gate at his waist, and found a wooden box inside. Xia'er asked Zhang Lianqiu's father to get it for him to defend himself.

This bulletproof vest is indeed a good thing, but he hopes that he will never need it.

Zhang Zhifang touched Zhao Guangyuan's bulletproof vest curiously, and then he talked about business, "Your Majesty, do you know which of the generals who just came in are the prince's men?"
