The promotion of the imperial palace of the prosperous Huangmou

Chapter 688 fierce battle
The city gate opened for an hour, and indeed many people left.

But more people chose to stay.

Most of the people who left were also family members of some country gentry.These people sent their family members away, but they still stayed behind.

As a result, the number of people defending the city tripled.Although more than half of them are ordinary people who have not received training, it is not bad.

Anyway, when the time comes... there will be a melee, as long as you are agile and strong enough.

Fortunately, it is the city guard.

Li Yan rubbed his eyebrows.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the sky, a letter came from the palace.This is sent by a special message bird, for the sake of speed.

The secret document was delivered to Li Yan. Li Yan opened it to take a look, and then directly frowned.

He understood what Emperor Wen meant with just a glance.

But at this time——if Li Kuo was really left here, it would be tantamount to calling Li Kuo to die.

After thinking for a while, Li Yan lowered his gaze, and immediately called someone to call over everyone around the second prince Li Kuo.

"Go back and get ready. There is a letter from the palace. After the next round of siege is over, I will ask someone to escort you out of the city. Someone from Peicheng will come to meet you. Then you go back to the palace directly."

After Li Yan finished speaking like this, others immediately felt that something was wrong: "Then what about you, Your Highness?"

"My palace will stay to defend the city. Reinforcements are coming soon." Li Yan's expression remained unchanged, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

With his attitude, even if other people have doubts in their hearts, they can only suppress it.

Only the people around Li Yan knew what Li Yan had done.

As soon as the person left, he couldn't help but ask Li Yan: "His Royal Highness is against the will of the Holy One—"

"It's useless to keep him." Li Yan said the truth, and with this sentence, he successfully blocked the other party's remaining words.

In the situation of the second prince Li Kuo, it is indeed useless to stay.

Although it wouldn't be a drag, but...it couldn't be of much help.

However, it is not necessary for Li Yan to stay by himself to risk himself.

With Li Yan's expression on his face, several people were stunned, but none of them dared to speak.

It was getting dark.Lanterns and torches began to be lit on the tower.

The darker it got, the more tense Li Yan felt.

He knew very well in his heart that the other party would definitely come back today for one last try.

If reinforcements are already on the way, this is the opponent's last chance to attack the city.It is also the last chance to move forward and occupy the waterway.

Even though the waterways here cannot be marched on a large scale, there are piers after all.Messaging, business dealings, is also a transit point.

Not big or small, not important, but it is also a place that cannot be easily abandoned.

This is true for the other party, and it is also true for the court.

Since it is the last chance, what will happen to the other party - it is self-evident.

Li Yan stared deeply at the darkness under the city tower, listening to the whistling night wind, his heart gradually became peaceful.

"Report—the rebel army is still five miles away from the city tower! They are advancing! There are a lot of people, at least [-]!"

"Report—the rebels still have three miles to go!"

"Report-"

Li Yan waved his hand, silencing the spies' words: "I can already see their torches."

When marching at night, the torch is the most obvious.The other party obviously didn't intend to hide their whereabouts, so the mighty torches approached all the way, and it looked so spectacular.

"Pass down the order and prepare to defend the city!"
