The other timeframes are too short for them to get too close and detect anything.

"Send a message to the temporary palace, and then send a message to the capital by fast horse. At the same time, immediately light the beacon fires and summon people to rescue the emperor!"

Zhao Yunqi is currently injured and unconscious, and it is unknown whether he can leave. For the time being, he can only rely on Yanshan to wait for rescue.

The troops in the northern regions cannot be easily mobilized.

Even the nearest Guixiong Pass was unaware of what had happened and could only proceed cautiously, taking things one step at a time.

She drew a diagram on the ground and pointed out, "There are only two places in here where we can ambush and block the enemy."

Xiao Bei and Zhang Shanhai, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, remained silent.

They had to fight to the death. They were caught off guard and had nothing. The enemy was cavalry, so they could only use the terrain to slow down the enemy's speed.

No one expected that the Northern Barbarian army would be able to advance straight in from Guixiong Pass.

The northern lands are open, and even with tens of thousands of troops, they could not stop these 30,000 cavalry.

Xiao Zhixing stood up, looked at the thousands of people, and said in a deep voice:

"We have His Majesty behind us, and countless people behind us. We know this battle is certain death, but we cannot retreat."

"Brothers, to die on the battlefield is a soldier's honor. I, Xiao Zhixing, hereby swear in blood that I will stand with you all through thick and thin!"

"War! War!"

"Alright! Soldiers, listen to my command! Set up an ambush at Banwanpo! We will fight and retreat simultaneously."

The group arrived at Banwanpo under the cover of night.

This is a narrow path between two mountains; enemy troops must pass through here to reach Yanshan.

Once the enemy scouts returned, the others lay in ambush on both sides.

Xiao Zhixing led Xiao Bei and the others to open their respective bundles, take out various ropes, and quickly make simple tripwires, which they then tied to the trees along the roadside.

Zhang Shanhai worriedly thought, "This won't stop much..."

Xiao Bei didn't answer; he just followed along.

Having reached this point, the only option left was to fight the princess with a death wish.

They had already decided that even if they died in battle, they would protect the princess and ensure her survival.
