Ocean City.
"Fourth Highness, the army is about to lose its hold. The other party is going to attack with fire. There are trees everywhere. The fire will end together. Time waits for no one. You have to make plans early!" Yan Shi hurriedly ran over. He looked anxious and desperate.
Xiao Ran stood on the top of the mountain, his arm was injured and bleeding, and the color of the shirt on his body was no longer visible. Although he was a little flustered when he heard the news, he was still calm, "Have all the people in this radius moved?"
Yan Shi lowered his head and knelt down with a "bang", "The soldiers who were sent to escort were stopped by the Nancang Army, and now there is no news, I am afraid those people will also—"
Yan Shi gritted his teeth and said in pain, "The Nancang Army has surrounded the entire city, I'm afraid they want to massacre the city!"
Xiao Ran couldn't help but take a step back when he heard the words, with a look of shock on his face, then he clenched his fists with both hands, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said, "Nan Cang is deceiving people too much!"
There are at least 100,000 people in Tucheng, not counting the soldiers here. If the fire ignites, the consequences will be disastrous.
"General Yan."
Yan Shi was in grief when he heard His Highness calling him, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with his voice, and immediately raised his head, "I will be here at the end."
"We fought with them!" Xiao Ran's eyes were determined.
Yan Shi immediately said, "Your Fourth Highness is absolutely impossible, the last will stay and command, you should leave with your personal soldiers. At this time, you must not make any mistakes, the court needs you!"
"It's all over now, what's the use of talking about this! Go down and send orders, fight against the water, and I will coexist with the army!" Xiao Ran carried an irrefutable firmness.
Knowing that he had made up his mind, he sighed heavily, then nodded and stumbled away.
Xiao Ran looked at the brightly lit battlefield again, and suddenly remembered the trick he used against the emperor a few days ago. He didn't expect to go around in circles, but he was driven to a dead end by this trick. At the beginning, he was eager to win and reckless of the consequences. Only now did he know how much it cost!
Half an hour later, when everyone had gathered in the main city, the Nancang army attacked again.
This time, they used a fire attack, and the arrow feathers with kerosene crossed the city wall and shot into the city. Under the city gate, a dozen people held thick wooden pillars and slammed it hard.
"His Royal Highness, they are about to attack!" A lieutenant staggered over, covered in blood, and fell unconscious after saying this.
Xiao Ran pursed his lips, his eyes filled with anger, "Yan Shi, open the city gate and meet the enemy!"
If he stays in the city, he will be burned to death. If he rushes out, there will be an ambush. He will die horizontally and vertically.
The last stand.
The city gate opened wide, and everyone rushed out holding their weapons.
As if anticipating what they would do, the archers in ambush immediately fired arrows at them.
Soon, the soldiers running in front fell one by one. Before the shouts of killing could be heard, they had already returned to the west. Xiao Ran watched his soldiers fall without any resistance. His heart was aching, his anger burst into flames, and the hands in his hands The long sword stabbed mercilessly at the enemy.
There was more blood on his hands, more clothes were damaged, and wounds appeared, but he didn't care at all. At this time, he just wanted to kill these robbers who invaded other people's land!
Pang Huang stood on the high slope and looked down at the battlefield at the gate of the city. Xiao Ran, who had killed the red eye, fell into his sight. Pang Huang let out a light sigh, "Who is that person?"
"Prince Hui, the fourth prince of Xixuan, Xiao Ran."
Someone replied from behind.
Pang Huang suddenly realized that it was him. He fought a few games with Xixuan, the leader of the army, but he had only heard of him and never heard of him, just like he was in Kyoto back then.
It was just when his eyes returned to Xiao Ran, he shook his head, and a faint irony flashed across his eyes, "Xiao Ran and Xiao Xu are far from each other, they are one in the ground and one in the sky. Blind, don't leave a good seedling, but want a crooked melon and cracked date, he has been an emperor for so many years, it's ridiculous."
Speaking of which, Pang Huang showed a schadenfreude smile, "But thanks to this confused emperor, we have the opportunity to take advantage of today. This time is a good time for us to destroy Xixuan."
"His Royal Highness, do you think Xiao Xu will help them?" One of the generals was a little worried. Thinking of the previous battle with Xi Xuan, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, showing that Xiao Xu's Yuwei was still there.
Pang Huang frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, he smiled lightly, "Impossible, being forced to this point, turned around and came to help, he is not a fool, he won't do this, not stabbing a knife in the back is already a benevolence and righteousness, and it is our responsibility to repay the blame with virtue. There is no such person."
"If he also joins in to split Xixuan, maybe the situation will be more chaotic and it will be more convenient for us to act. Prince Ben didn't plan to swallow the whole Xixuan, but how much he eats, don't let Prince Ben spit it out."
Tori, who had been following Pang Huang all the time, laughed loudly and said, "Then I will congratulate His Royal Highness on the victory here."
Pang Huang smiled when he heard the words, and stood up against the wind with his hands behind his back, looking down from a height, as if everything was under control.
These people are just stubbornly resisting. After another hour, they will only have to surrender. At that time, this city will be planted with their Nancang flag again.
The cries of killing, the sound of knocking on the door, and the sound of swords being handed over echoed in mid-air, but I don't know when it started, and there was another sound, the sound of horses' hooves.
From far to near, the sound became louder and louder.
When Pang Huang noticed something was wrong, he swept his eyes sharply into the distance, only to see a black mass of smoke in the billowing smoke, and then quickly approached at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"His Royal Highness, there is a group of people moving here!" The soldier knelt in front of him and said urgently.
Pang Huang didn't seem to notice, staring at the person who was riding in front of him.
How could it be him
Under the city gate, the blood stained the land, and Xixuan's soldiers sacrificed one after another. Xiao Ran and his men fought their way out, trying to protect the city gate.
However-
"Fourth Highness, we can't do it anymore, we can't stop it!" Yan Shi finished off the enemy who was about to attack Xiao Ran, and hurried to his side, looking anxious.
"Hold on—"
Xiao Ran was covered in blood, and he couldn't tell whether it belonged to him or someone else. Hearing this, his throat was sweet, but he held on, and just as he was about to give an order, he heard someone shouting.
"The city is broken-"
Xiao Ran vomited out a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed. If he hadn't stood beside him with eyes and hands, he might have fallen to the ground.
"Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness?" Yan Shi called immediately.
"I-"
Between the electric light and flint, Xiao Ran raised his head, but saw a cavalry Juechen coming quickly from a distance, the tall and straight figure on the horse's back was so familiar.
