The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

As for why the Western Region army was able to attack the city of Mantuo so easily, it was because although Duan Rongshi had previously captured three cities in the Western Region, he did not send troops to garrison them.

He had no intention of taking those three cities.

Although the city was captured, the people's hearts were not won in such a hurry, so what would it matter even if the city was temporarily occupied?

By then, the people of the Western Regions will join forces with them, making them vulnerable to attack from both sides, and it will be their own Lanhai Army that will be sacrificed in vain.

Therefore, apart from deliberately disgusting the Western Regions, Duan Rongshi at least has no intention of really swallowing up those three cities for now.

When the Lan Haijun saw the Western Region Army gathering, he immediately led his troops to evacuate from there and quickly returned to report.

Mantuo City is naturally ready to make another big move.

However, King Lan Hai was not there.

The morale of the 100,000 troops left behind was naturally somewhat unstable.

Li Qingluo had anticipated that this situation might occur.

She didn't panic.

She even went up the city wall with her grandmother and the others with her big belly.

"Princess, there are defenses over there..."

"They set up a trap two months in advance..."

"And the terrain over there..."

Pofeng explained everything to Li Qingluo one by one.

Li Qingluo also looked at them carefully one by one.

Then, she came behind Madam Pei: "Grandma."

Madam Pei, who was wearing armor, held her hand and patted it gently: "Are you tired?"

"Grandma told you not to come. The wind up here is not something most people can endure."

"It's hard for you, Luo'er."

Li Qingluo: "Luo'er is Grandma's granddaughter. Grandma doesn't feel tired, so why would Luo'er be so pretentious and delicate?"

"If you agree, Luo'er can also take up arms and kill the enemy, and will definitely be as impressive as you were back then."

"Grandma, thank you for your hard work."

Li Qingluo felt extremely guilty and ashamed.

My grandmother was nearly sixty years old, but she still had to go to the battlefield to command the war because of me.

If it weren't for me, my grandmother would have lived out her life in peace and traveled around the world. How could she appear in this Mantuo City?

Luo Fan on the side laughed and said, "Luo'er, you have misunderstood your grandmother."

"Although your grandmother has worked hard, she is living a happy life now."

"She feels decades younger now that she's wearing her armor again. She's so energetic every day. In my opinion, she's regained her former glory."

"Don't worry about her."

"She will have no problem living another forty years."

Madam Pei glared at Luo Fan: "You're becoming more and more talkative now!"

"But Luo'er, your grandma is right. I feel very fulfilled now and don't feel tired at all. You don't have to worry about me."

"As for you, don't even think about going back to the battlefield."

"The war is imminent. You must take care of yourself and the baby in your belly first. Do you hear me?"

"This is not a joke!"

Pofeng, Zhuiyu and others on the side nodded solemnly.

Li Qingluo looked at the soldiers on the city wall.

"Everyone wants to protect me, I know."

"But I swear to defend Mantuo City with you all until my death!"

"Mantuo City is your highness's line of defense."

"It is also the Lan Navy's line of defense."

"Only by defending Mantuo City can we live up to His Highness and the people who are waiting for us to defend the borders and their homes."

"Also, Your Highness, I, and our children don't feel like we would be letting the soldiers down."

"I will never abandon the city, and I will never abandon you and flee."

Li Qingluo's words quickly spread throughout the entire Mantuo City and among the 100,000-strong army.

The shouts pierced through the mountains and rivers, and waves of excitement came: "Princess Lanhai! Princess Lanhai - Princess Lanhai -"

When the enemy was at the gates of the city, there was Madam Pei, the beautiful old general who had defeated the Western Regions army many times before, and Princess Lan Hai was still in the city even though she was about to give birth. This strengthened the morale of the 100,000-strong army.

Even if the coach is not in the battlefield, they will definitely defend Mantuo City to the death.

Protect Princess Lan Hai!

However, just before the battle, the truth about King Lan Hai's life and the news that he had ascended the throne as the new emperor of Great Chu finally reached the front line.

Along with this came the news that the new emperor had personally led the army and was now on his way to Mantuo City with an army of 50,000.

All the soldiers were ecstatic and shouted: "Long live the emperor!"

The cries resounded throughout the earth like a prairie fire.

The already nervous Western Regions troops were all trembling with fear.

My emperor?

Could it be that their emperor is here too?

But isn’t this Mantuo City the territory of King Lanhai?

Where did this emperor come from?

The Western Region Army had already traveled a long distance, and although it was easy to recapture the three cities, they had to go back to the battlefield without even having enough time to rest.

They also knew that what was coming would be a real life-and-death battle.

Now people in Mantuo City are shouting "Long live the emperor". Their emperor has come, and it is obvious that morale is boosted and the military spirit is stable.

The soldiers of the Western Region Army naturally became restless and uneasy.

And their Western Regions...this time they only sent two princes from the imperial court.

Because they recaptured three cities, the two princes are now insolent and think they are divine generals sent from heaven.

That's why they didn't care about the soldiers' fatigue from the long journey.

Just then, the sound of war drums came.

The fierce battle between the two armies finally began again——

In Mantuo City, Li Qingluo once again rejected the killers' request to leave first.

"Stop talking! I won't agree to this."

"If you go against my will again, I will send all of you away, and no one will remain."

"I don't need subordinates who disobey me. Do you understand?"

"I said before that I will defend Mantuo City with the people of the city and the soldiers outside the city until my death."

"If I hadn't been pregnant, I wouldn't even have stayed in the city and waited for death."

"I will personally take up my sword and go to the battlefield, instead of hiding in the city and being protected by you."

"If I run away now, won't it chill the hearts of the people and soldiers in the city?"

"I also believe in them. They will never lose."

Even without the Grand Marshal, she would definitely be able to help Duan Rongshi stabilize the morale of the army.

If she really left, it would completely chill everyone's heart.

Thinking this, Li Qingluo took everyone to the street inside the city gate.

She stood at the front with the Biluo Sword in her hand, listening to the shouts of fighting outside, as if she were already on the battlefield, standing with all the soldiers.

The people in the city saw the princess coming out with a bulging belly, and she was only a few steps away from the city gate.

Who among the people would not be deeply shocked and moved by this?

If the city gates were breached, she would be the first to face it.

Is she really not afraid?

Of course she is afraid!

How could she not be afraid? She was going to be a mother too.

She was not afraid of bleeding or dying, but she was afraid that the baby in her belly would be affected by her.

At this moment, Li Qingluo's hand would unconsciously touch her pregnant belly which was about to give birth.

"Good boy, will you defend this city with your mother?"

The people took whatever weapons they could get at home, ran to the street, and stood behind the princess.

The princess didn't care about her big belly, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city guarding their home. How could they just hide at home and wait?

When necessary, they can also rush out!

They can also protect the princess!

"Everyone……"

Que'er looked behind her with emotion, supporting Li Qingluo with red eyes.

"Girl, everyone is behind us."

Li Qingluo didn't dare to look back.

Just nodded slightly.

"We will never betray their trust."

"Never will."

The result was naturally a great victory.

Madam Pei commanded the battlefield.

Pofeng, Zhuiyu and Lengdian each led their troops and divided them into three groups to completely encircle and suppress the Western Region army again.

The Lanhai army didn't even suffer any major losses.

The Western Region army was easily defeated.

The Western Region army once again abandoned their armor and fled, but took at least three thousand prisoners.

Madam Pei ordered the horn to be blown, and the troops were withdrawn and the fighting ended.

Don't chase the defeated enemy.

Although if we chase them this time, we may capture three more cities.

However, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has not returned yet, so any major measures should not be taken lightly.

Madam Pei just planned to continue defending the city. Being able to defend this Mantuo City would be her greatest gift to the new emperor of Great Chu!

Half a month later, the Western Region Army returned to test again.

After discovering that Mantuo City was still just defending the city and had no intention of counterattacking, the Western Region Army finally had other ideas.

They took a detour and went to Yaocheng, three hundred miles away.

However, Zhui Yu had already led his troops to Yaocheng under the arrangement of Mrs. Pei.

Everything happened as Madam Pei had expected. The Western Region army planned to attack Mantuo City again by encircling it.

However, Mantuo City and other cities of Da Chu are now fortresses with iron walls and solid defenses, and there is no way to break through.

The Western Region army, having suffered another defeat in Yaocheng, had no choice but to turn around and head north.

Another half month later, Yuncheng on the border of Daliang was attacked, but within three days, news came that the city had been captured by the Western Regions.

After all, Madam Pei was from Daliang and was once a beautiful general guarding the border. How could she ignore it?

She couldn't sit still, so Li Qingluo handed the tiger talisman that Duan Rongshi had given him before he left to Madam Pei.

"grandmother."

"Go."

"Take back Yuncheng and drive out the people from the Western Regions."

Madam Pei looked at the tiger talisman in her hand in great shock.

"This, this is actually in your hands?"

It turned out that before Duan Rongshi left, he handed the tiger talisman to Li Qingluo.

It was because they were afraid that someone would disobey Li Qingluo at a critical moment, so they let her hold it so that she could freely command the army.

Li Qingluo hadn't taken it out yet not because he was on guard against anyone.

But it has never been used.

Now, if we want to recapture Yuncheng, it is time for the Tiger Talisman to come into play.

"Grandmother, don't worry about the soldiers being dissatisfied. Just recapture Yuncheng and raise the flag of the Lanhai Army."

Madam Pei's eyes lit up.

"Yup!"

"I'm not here to recapture the city for Daliang, but to plant the flag of the Lanhai army."

"In this way, the soldiers will naturally follow me."

"Yuncheng and its people don't have to fall into the hands of the people from the Western Regions."

"Luo'er, Grandmother is going to Yuncheng herself. You here..."

Mrs. Pei looked at Li Qingluo's belly with some concern.

Luo'er is about to give birth. Do I really want to leave her and go?
