As Xia Mochu's grandson of the old general Xia, it is most justifiable for him to transfer troops, not to mention, this is also a good opportunity for Xia Mochu to show his face in front of the Seventh Prince.
But Xia Mochu didn't understand Chu Yan's good intentions, so he immediately gave up, and shrank back and didn't dare to take the tiger amulet: "There are so many people from the second prince outside, you let me go? Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I am Your brother-in-law, you can't cheat me like this!"
Chu Yan squinted at Xia Mochu, and said lightly, "So cowardly?"
Xia Mochu hissed, puffed out his chest and said, "Who's cowardly? I won't be cowardly!"
"Then you go." Chu Yan's voice was flat, but it inspired Xia Mochu's unyielding fighting spirit in his bones.
"Go and go!" Xia Mochu picked up the Tiger Talisman, obviously looking desperate: "Wait for me to come back! I will marry Ningning when I come back! No one can stop me!"
Xia Mochu tightened his belt, said goodbye to the Seventh Prince, and rushed out.
"Are you sure Xia Mochu can do it?" The Seventh Prince looked at Chu Yan, slightly worried.
When Xia Mochu was in the room just now, the Seventh Prince didn't ask because of the face of taking care of Xia Mochu.
"The tiger father has no dogs and sons, His Highness just saw it." Chu Yan didn't explain too much, but prayed silently twice in his heart.
This time is a good opportunity to show his face in front of the Seventh Prince and make meritorious deeds. Chu Yan hopes that Xia Mochu can grasp it.
After arguing with the Seventh Prince for the next deployment, Chu Yan found an opportunity to leave the camp, and immediately called Lian Hao to order: "You send a team of elite soldiers and a team of dead soldiers to protect Xia Mochu."
In this matter, Chu Yan had to ensure Xia Mochu's safety, otherwise Zhong Ning would have to be the first to tear him apart once something happened, not to mention that he couldn't get through it.
Fortunately, Xia Mochu was smart enough, brought dry food and bodyguards, and quietly bypassed the encirclement of the second prince and galloped away.
The Seventh Prince had thought of a way, and the Second Prince was not idle either. He also sent a lot of people around to borrow troops.
Both teams are working hard towards their goals.
On the third day after the Second Prince burned the grain and grass, the cooks in the Seventh Prince's barracks cooked the last meal with the last batch of rice.
The second prince looked at the smoke in the outer city with his hands behind his back, and he entered the tent after a long time, and said to himself: "It's the third day."
Time is getting tighter and tighter. If the second prince had eight points of confidence in this battle before, now he has less than four points left.
Just when the second prince was sitting on the chair, there was a sudden vibration from the ground. If an experienced veteran soldier was present, he would immediately know that there were cavalry soldiers nearby, and the vibration was caused by the uniform horseshoes.
The second prince immediately asked: "What's going on outside?"
After a few breaths, a soldier came into the house and reported: "Speak to the lord! There is an army coming! The cavalry is leading the way! It's too far away! It's not an enemy or a friend now!"
Hearing this, the second prince immediately ran out of the camp and boarded the high tower that had been set up to watch the battle and looked into the distance with a gloomy expression.
In the Seventh Prince's camp, the table was full of delicious food, but none of the people around the table moved their chopsticks.
"Today is the third day, and Mr. Xia hasn't come back yet." A staff member said suddenly.
Chu Yan was also a little worried, but he didn't show it on his face, and he looked extraordinarily calm among the anxious group of people: "It's not dark yet, wait a minute."
The Seventh Prince didn't speak, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face.
Chu Ruofei knocked on the table unconsciously with his fingers: "I have contacted several rice shops in Beijing before, and their food storage should be enough for these soldiers to eat for two days, just wait a little longer, if the Xia family army does not come by then, General Qin's men are not here, so we are ready to fight with our backs."
Being trapped in the city is this worrying, because the material resources cannot be replenished in time, and although the people in the city have resources, if the Seventh Prince really hits the people with his ideas, then the people will lose their hearts, and I am afraid It was the common people who had to rush forward to invite the Second Prince outside into the city.
And since the Seventh Prince's food was burned, people in the barracks were panicked and morale was low. If no reinforcements arrived, this battle would really be difficult to fight.
Everyone talked for a while, and just as the staff members were about to disperse, a horn suddenly sounded from afar.
Everyone looked outside the account in unison.
The Seventh Prince looked at Chu Yan: "You heard that too?"
Chu Yan nodded, and immediately stood up and opened the tent door. The moment the tent door was opened, the sound of the horn became clearer, complemented by the sound of the clash of knives and swords that Chu Yan was most familiar with. .
And this sound also attracted the soldiers in the camp. Almost all of them put down the bowls of gruel in their hands, and climbed to the highest position around them as much as possible to look outside.
At this time, I don't know who shouted: "There is a fight outside!"
Chu Yan turned his head and nodded to the seventh prince in the tent, and silently said three words to the seventh prince.
Seeing Chu Yan's mouth shape, the Seventh Prince couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and immediately got up and went out of the camp to call the soldiers around him: "Go! Go and have a look."
The Seventh Prince immediately led the soldiers around him to the city wall. Chu Yan was among the group of people watching the battle in the distance.
I saw countless people fighting in one place in the distance, and the place of the battle was in the camp of the second prince. It seems that the team of people killed the second prince by surprise. One of the two parties to the war was naturally the second prince, and the other team carried the military flag on their shoulders with the word "Xia" written on it. It was Xia Mochu who brought people back!
Seeing this, the Seventh Prince's heart that had been hanging in his throat finally fell, and everyone else was the same, especially the soldiers under the Seventh Prince's command.
The Seventh Prince immediately took out his commander's seal: "Pass down the order of the palace, open the city gate, and face the battle!"
Encouraged by it, the soldiers on the city wall raised their spears and shouted loudly: "Fight! Fight!"
Chu Ruofei led the people from the Vanguard Battalion to be the first among them. Chu Yan and Lian Xin each led the people from the Shenji Battalion to divide into two teams and surround them from the left and right flanks. The rest of the generals fought from the front.
In front of an army twice as many as himself, the second prince's people gradually broke into an army in the afternoon. When the night fell, almost all the people who were still alive were exhausted. Most of the second prince's people put down their weapons They raised their hands and surrendered, and the small number of people who were still stubbornly resisting were gradually eliminated.
In this chaos, Chu Yan was holding a long sword, and his armor was gradually covered with blood. He rode his horse back and forth among the crowd, apparently looking for something.
Xia Mochu was wearing eight-treasure armor and rode a horse to find Chu Yan. Seeing him constantly looking around, Xia Mochu asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking for?"
The long sword in Chu Yan's hand was still dripping with blood, so he had time to take out a sweat towel and wipe the sword, then shook his head at Xia Mochu and said, "The second prince is not here."
