After Jiao Didi escaped from the outer room, the prince went crazy

The city wall was ablaze with fire, arrows rained down like rain, and the guards and Nanman soldiers started a fierce fight on the city wall.

Hundreds of guards brandished their weapons and bravely rushed towards the enemy, only to fall one by one under the enemy's fierce attack. There were bursts of screams from the city walls, which made people feel frightened.

There was also chaos under the city wall. The southern barbarians, armed with long knives and spears, were frantically attacking the city gate. The city gate creaked as if it would be breached in the next moment.

Behind the city gate are rows of guards, who use solid shields to block the attack of the southern barbarians.

The smoke of battle filled the air, and the guards on the city wall went all out to defend the city.

They guarded their homeland with their lives and never allowed the enemy to invade, but in the end they were still unable to defeat the barbarians, and everyone fell one after another.

In this life-and-death struggle, the soldiers of Dongling showed fearless heroism. General Xie couldn't bear to look at it anymore. Don't look away. If the reinforcements could have arrived earlier, this battle would not be as tragic as this.

General Li retreated to General Xie with scars all over his body, "General! I'm afraid we can't resist, you retreat first!"

General Xie's eyes were firm, "No! I want to live and die together with the soldiers!" After saying that, he tried his best to stand up, but it was in vain. Helpless, he picked up the long sword and swung it at the barbarians aside, blood splashed on it. on his face.

"General! What should we do if something happens to you?"

"I will never be a deserter!" General Xie looked serious, "The soldiers are fighting bravely at the front, how can I do this?"

Although the soldiers tried their best, they were still unable to withstand the enemy's tidal attack, and the city wall was captured.

Seeing that this was no longer possible, General Li gritted his teeth and raised his hand to strike at the back of General Xie's neck. He soon lost consciousness.

Most of the city was destroyed and it was a mess.

Seeing that the situation was over, the injured soldiers picked up their weapons and shouted loudly, "You retreat first!"

Everyone was reluctant to give up and wanted to stay and advance and retreat with them. If they all stayed, more people would die.

The wounded built the last protective wall, guarding the retreat of the brothers they had eaten and slept with for many years.

This is the last thing they can do for Dongling and the brothers and family behind him.

At this moment, even though they were facing a life-and-death situation, no one backed down. They were all iron-blooded men!

The Liangcheng Pass was destroyed, and the news that the general was missing soon spread back to Shangjing.

Everyone was in a panic.

After the barbarians entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. Most of the people died. The world could not stop the news. This matter quickly spread to the ears of the people.

I don't know who did it. The people knew that General Xie had asked His Majesty for help a few days ago, but for some unknown reason, His Majesty was reluctant to send troops, which finally led to such a tragic ending.

Rumors spread among the people in Dongling in an instant.

His Majesty has been in power for so many years, and although he is not ignorant, he has not made any achievements that are beneficial to the people. It can only be said to be smooth and stable.

But General Xie is different in their eyes. He has guarded the border countless times and fought for the stability of the people. His son even died at the border. No one will forget General Xie's good deeds!

But this failure was because of Your Majesty!

Everyone complained for General Xie.

His Majesty's gaffe shocked all the eunuchs and ministers serving in the imperial study.

He shouted angrily and slammed the envelope in his hand to the ground, making everyone kneel down and tremble in fear. The entire palace instantly fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and stared at the furious emperor, feeling a deep sense of invisible oppression and fear.

"Okay! Very good! General Xie is a great hero in their hearts, but I have become a sinner for the ages!"

Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

His Majesty narrowed his eyes and stared at Song Yanxing, who was kneeling below him. "Prince, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

No matter what you say now, it is wrong. Your Majesty is just putting him on the fire to roast. If you say something wrong about General Xie, if today's incident is spread, the people don't know how they will criticize him.

If he says something against His Majesty, then he may not be able to remain the prince for long.

"My son is willing to lead the army on behalf of my father and conquer all the barbarians at Liangcheng Pass!"

In the main hall, everyone looked at him in surprise. Everyone was aware of the ferocity of the Southern Barbarians. Their military morale was at its peak at this time, but the Dongling soldiers had just suffered a defeat and their military morale was unstable. If they were to get into trouble at this time, It must be more bad than good.

His Majesty looked at him intently, with an unfathomable expression on his face.

If it were before, His Majesty would definitely not give him the military power, but at this time, he just needs someone to stand out. If he wins, he is his son, and no one will dare to criticize him.

If you lose, you can blame everything on Song Yanxing, and it has nothing to do with him.

Song Yanxing dared to say this with full confidence. He knew His Majesty very well. In such a storm, if he had this opportunity, he would definitely find a way to push others out. Besides, he was just a son that he didn't care about.

"Okay! As expected of my son!"

Someone quickly stood up and complimented, "It is a blessing for us as a whole in Dongling to have His Highness!"

There were endless compliments, but no one was fawning over Song Yanxing. At this time, if Song Yanxing went, the chance of coming back was slim, so there was no need to fawn over him.

"Prince! I will order you to lead an army of 200,000 to support General Xie!" After a pause, he wanted to cover up, "The same goes for General Xie. If the news of the Nanman siege had not been reported to me earlier, it would have been better if I had been informed earlier. Now, the city will not be captured by the barbarians."

Everyone immediately understood what His Majesty meant and responded, "General Xie is biased in this matter."

"General Xie usually kills barbarians just like killing cattle and horses, but I don't know what happened this time?"

"When horses stumble, people stumble. Maybe General Xie is too confident."

"Thank you, General, for your wisdom, but what you did in this matter is really stupid..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell silent for an instant. This flattery was a slap on the horse's legs. Everyone knew in their hearts that His Majesty did not send troops to support him. Doesn't this mean that His Majesty was confused?

His Majesty glared and said sternly, "General Xie is a hero of Dongling, how can you allow you to slander him like this? Come here! Pull down the stick and kill him!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!"

He gave the death penalty without hesitation, which made everyone extremely scared, but no one dared to say anything. The only reason for this was to die with him, and no one would dislike him for living too long.

"Your Majesty is wise——"
