Looking out from the north gate of Beiguan City.
The beacon fire was lit right in front of us, and that was the front line where the Northern Army was defending against the Northern Barbarians.
However, the team outside the city obviously did not come from the border.
They came from the northwest, along the road leading to Huangzhou.
The team is majestic and their steps are in unison, just like a surprise force sent from heaven!
"Could it be that Commander Xue from Desolate State is bringing people to support us?"
"I've heard for a long time that Commander Xue comes from the Marquis of Wuding Mansion. The old Marquis of Wuding Mansion was a man who had previously fought alongside the late emperor to conquer the world and defeated the Northern Barbarians and Western Liang!"
"As expected, a good father will have a good son!" Gong Xishan noticed something coming towards this side from outside the city, and was greatly encouraged. He blocked the barbarian in front of him with a knife, and then raised his foot and kicked him fiercely.
"Hold on, everyone! Reinforcements are coming!"
The team rushing towards this side is huge.
The number of people is at least five thousand.
Leading the way were two thousand cavalrymen.
All that could be heard was the sound of galloping horses, followed by the sound of fighting outside the city. The catapults that had been torturing the city defenders were the first to be knocked down.
The barbarian sitting on the catapult was stabbed in the heart by a sword from a man riding on a black horse.
He didn't even have time to resist and fell off the catapult.
The defense of Beiguan City and the people sent by various families in Beiguan City to support them had been trying their best to stop the barbarians' attack. The barbarians who were able to attack the city wall were still a minority, less than 30% of the number who attacked the North Gate.
The majority of the troops are still those outside the city who continue to attack the city.
At the moment, those people were entangled by the Dayong army that came to support them and had no time to continue the attack. The soldiers on the city wall were freed up immediately and were able to fully deal with the barbarians who climbed over the city wall.
Morale was greatly boosted.
Several soldiers who were fighting with the barbarians suddenly felt themselves take a deep breath, and exerted all their strength to push the barbarians in front of them out of the city wall.
"Damn barbarians, how dare you offend Dayong!"
"Go to hell!"
On the city wall and inside the city wall, the people who had been struggling to resist suddenly felt less stressed and felt a lot more relaxed.
The captain of the city defense team who was following Gong Xishan looked down for a few times, and then said in surprise: "Sir, it seems that the soldiers coming here are not from the Huangzhou Guard!"
Although the head of Huangzhou Guard has been replaced.
But the soldiers below are still the same.
Beiguan is adjacent to Huangzhou. Don’t they know the situation of the soldiers in Huangzhou’s garrison?
Even if Xue Lian had extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible for him to train the soldiers of Huangzhou Garrison into this state in just one year.
The following soldiers are first-rate in both physique and skills.
There is no way it could have come from Huangzhou!
Even in the past, the soldiers sent from the capital were not as good as those below.
Gong Xishan was also surprised when he heard this.
If they were not sent by Huangzhou, then where did these thousands of troops come from?
"Sir, look at the back of the flag. Are there any words on it?"
"Um?"
Gong Xishan looked over there intently.
Behind the battle flag with the word "Yong" written on it, there was another large word written in a flamboyant style.
"quiet……"
"quiet?"
Gong Xishan repeated the words on the flag twice.
Then his eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, now the King of You?"
Although he was far away in Beiguan, he also heard that the crown prince asked to be deposed last year, and was made King You by the emperor, and went to his fiefdom in Tanzhou.
The word "You" refers to King You.
He couldn't think of any other explanation. This was probably the case.
For a moment, an indescribable emotion spread in Gong Xishan's heart.
He didn't expect that when Beiguan City was like an isolated island in the ocean with no one to help, the one who saved them like a god was King You, who was supposed to be far away in Tanzhou.
The imperial court, which had received the news of the border's request for help a long time ago, had not responded at all until today. Not only did it not send reinforcements, it also withheld the food and fodder that should have been sent to the border.
Absurd yet touching emotions repeatedly intertwined in my heart.
Look down again and see the battle flag fluttering in the wind.
Gong Xishan and the soldiers on the city wall felt as if something was breaking out of their hearts.
On the city wall, the barbarians were gradually brought under control, and outside the city wall, the war was gradually coming to an end.
Although the barbarians were strong, they were unable to outnumber this well-trained reinforcement force.
Moreover, they were completely unprepared and were already at a disadvantage when the fight began, and the soldiers on the city wall occasionally shot arrows at them.
Soon, the barbarians' heads rolled onto the battlefield.
On the battlefield, the one who killed the most enemies was the man dressed in black, riding a black horse, holding a long sword. His armor was stained with the blood of the barbarians, and every strike of his sword could almost take the life of a barbarian.
His heroic appearance at this moment seemed to overlap with the appearance of the late emperor when he went into battle to kill the enemy many years ago.
The young soldiers had never seen the late emperor in person, but they had seen the picture of the late emperor killing the enemy engraved on the city wall of the North Gate.
There is no doubt that the man in black who was fighting bravely below was His Royal Highness King You who led the support troops.
In theory, a prince who was granted a fiefdom could not easily move his troops out of the fiefdom without an imperial decree, let alone a border area where there was a lot of fighting.
But now, the officers and soldiers at the North Gate who had escaped death and were guarding the city did not want to care about so many things.
Today, it was not the emperor or the court who saved them.
It was King You.
He is the Crown Prince, who was placed with high hopes by the extremely brave late emperor.
"Open the gates!"
"Welcome King You!"
…
The knife fell with a sudden movement.
Wei Yunlan slashed the arm of the barbarian who broke into the yard with a knife.
