You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Yang Shian frowned and took it, and his face changed suddenly after reading it.

The military advisor stepped forward and asked, "Marshal, is there something wrong?"

Yang Shian handed the document to him. After the commander took it and read it, his face was solemn: "I didn't expect that Da Yan could survive from such a desperate situation.

Marshal, the only solution now is to follow the above instructions and fight a quick and decisive battle.

I believe that this kind of news has not only been received by us, but also by several other countries. Everyone is in a difficult situation and can only fight with all their might.

Even if Zhao Jingchen was fine and became the emperor, the new emperor would have many miscellaneous matters to deal with after he ascended the throne. By the time he had sorted things out and had the energy to deal with foreign affairs, our countries would have already invaded the Great Yan Kingdom.

By then, we will form a coalition of nations and he will be powerless to turn the tide."

Yang Shian nodded. "You're right. Pass the order down and advance at full speed. Once we reach the position, there's no need to set up a battle formation. Just attack directly. As long as we get in, what can Li Shaowei's small army do to us?"

On the official road to the southern border.

Zhao Jingchen led everyone on a journey day and night. When they were tired, they would dismount and rest for a while before continuing on their journey.

That night, when they were crossing a forest, Zhao Jingchen looked at Mu Yunge, An Bei and others who were accompanying them and called everyone to stop.

"We have been traveling for several days and nights. We will rest here tonight and continue our journey at dawn.

It will take about a day and a half to get to the border from here, and we'll arrive around noon the day after tomorrow. The war is urgent, so we won't stop to rest on the way."

The extremely tired female team members lay down huddled together and fell asleep.

Zhao Jingchen asked Ling Feng for two blankets and carefully covered Mu Yunge and An Bei with them.

When he returned to the group of men, Shang Jue teased softly, "Are you heartbroken?"

Zhao Jingchen pushed him and said, "Don't you feel bad? Don't think I didn't see it.

To be honest, although they are stronger than the average woman, they are women after all. Such a fast march would tire us grown men, let alone them."

Shang Jue didn't argue, just said: "Go to sleep!"

Everyone slept very soundly, but got up when it was almost dawn.

Zhao Jingchen glanced at everyone and urged, "Everyone, eat something quickly and get ready to go."

Mu Yunge took out the only bit of dried meat left in his bag and walked up to Zhao Jingchen: "Here, put this in the steamed bun, it tastes much better."

Zhao Jingchen didn't refuse. He took a bite of the steamed bun she handed him with a smile, "Mm, it's really delicious!"

He swallowed the food in his mouth and asked softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I'm fine, just hurry up!"

Mu Yunge smiled and retreated back to the sisters.

When she woke up earlier, she found the blanket on her body. After her sisters shook their heads, she knew that it was Zhao Jingchen who covered her.

Along the way, he would find opportunities to ask her if she was tired or needed a rest, and he was very caring towards her.

Although the skin on the inside of her thighs was red, swollen and painful from riding for a long time, she did not say anything, quietly put some soft clothes under her body, and managed to get through it.

After eating some dry food, the group packed up and set off again.

Dayan Camp.

Before daybreak, secret sentries ahead would occasionally send back urgent military intelligence.

"Report, the enemy troops of Nansang are out in full force and heading towards our border!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! About 350,000 Nansang people are attacking in large numbers!"

In the Dayan camp, bursts of "woooo" horn sounds were immediately heard.

The soldiers quickly filled their stomachs and took their positions according to their usual drills, ready for battle.

As night fell, the beacon towers on the city walls lit up smoke signals, which could be seen from afar, echoing each other.

Brothers Mu Qinxuan and Mu Qinting walked on the city wall, checking the preparations in various places.

At this time, a breeze blew by, and a strand of Mu Qinting's hair was blown to his forehead.

He stretched out his hand to feel the wind direction and said happily, "Brother, with the current wind direction, we have prepared chili powder according to the examples in the military manual. Maybe the weather will be favorable and we can emulate our ancestors and defeat the enemy."

Mu Qinxuan smiled and nodded: "It would be better if we can defeat the enemy with this, but even if we can't, I hope it can help us delay for a little longer."

"Yes, of course! We've prepared these things, and although they're not very presentable, as long as they work, that's fine."

Mu Qinting seemed to be trying to convince himself and his brother.

The beginning of the Chen hour.

The soldiers of Dayan were ready for a full-scale battle.

Soon, Nansang's troops arrived.

They had a clear division of labor, and used bows, ladders, and battering rams to attack the city wall like a swarm of bees.

The arrows in the hands of the archers rained down on the soldiers on the city wall, covering their men as they attacked the city.

The soldiers pushed the ladders forward, placed them on the city wall, and scrambled to climb up.

Several battering rams also hit the city walls and the doors on the walls from different positions. The "dong dong dong" sound was like hitting people's hearts.

Their purpose was very clear. They tried to use their absolute advantage in numbers and equipment to find a breakthrough and attack into Dayan.

The Dayan soldiers guarding the city wall adopted the advice of the Mu Qinxuan brothers and had already prepared a countermeasure against the dense arrows.

Except for the soldiers who stood at the arrow slits and battlements to monitor the Nansang people and prevent them from climbing up the city wall, everyone else stood under the propped-up wooden boards, and all the arrows shot at them hit the wooden boards.

After a wave of arrows, they took the opportunity to come out and shot thousands of arrows at the Nansang people who were trying to climb the wall.

Seeing this, Nansang's archers quickly shot arrows again.

In this way, the soldiers of Dayan played a game with them where you hit me and I hide, you stop and I hit you.

As for the battering rams, the walls were strong, so they were allowed to ram them.

At the weakest city gate, the brothers Mu Qinxuan and Mu Qinting brought their men to guard it personally.

When the Nansang people pushed the battering ram hard towards the city gate, the archers guarding the city gate aimed their arrows at the people below and fired a barrage of arrows.

When someone fell, another person quickly took his place, but before he could take two steps forward, he fell again, and the battering ram was unable to hit the door.

Yang Shian was standing at the highest point of the chariot. When he saw this scene, he was so angry that he screamed.

"Idiots! Archers, don't stop! Send more archers to the city gate and shoot as hard as you can. I don't believe I can do anything about them."

Arrows were shot densely towards the city gate.

Seeing this, the Mu Qinxuan brothers changed their strategy and waved to a distance. The soldiers who had been waiting there for a long time carried cloth bags filled with soil, sand and stones and piled them at the city gate.

Tens of thousands of pounds of sand, rocks and dirt are pressing against the door. No matter how powerful your battering ram is, what can it do?

Li Shaowei, who was watching the battle from the artillery tower, could not help but nod and praise: "These two guys, their brains really work at the critical moment!"

Mu Yiqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid these little tricks of theirs won't last long. Once the Nansang people discover the problem, they will definitely find a way to deal with it.

We're especially careful about them climbing the wall from other places."

"A small trick can be very useful. We'll delay as long as we can. Even a moment's delay is a credit. As for climbing the wall from other places, I've already assigned someone to take care of it. Don't worry!"

As long as we hold out for today and tomorrow, once the Emperor arrives, it will be time for our counterattack."

After saying that, Li Shaowei glanced at the entire audience and then turned his attention to the Mu Qinxuan brothers.

"I'd like to see what other tricks they have prepared..."
