Fortunately, Jiang Dingbei set out early tonight. If he had waited until late at night like last time, the Yuelin Kingdom would have already attacked the city wall, and he would have been too late to do anything.
He used his Qinggong skills and hurried to Yonglu Pass.
Jiang Weizhen was worried about Jiang Dingbei and continued to guard the city wall.
Because he was in a hurry, Jiang Dingbei did not take the second invisibility pill, and his figure was completely revealed at this time.
Seeing him running in a hurry, Jiang Weizhen knew something had happened.
He quickly came to the foot of the city wall and asked, "What's going on?"
"Asinwei is integrating his army and is planning a night attack on Yonglu Pass." Jiang Dingbei said breathlessly.
"We expect to take action in half an hour."
Jiang Weizhen was stunned. It seemed that Yue Lin had received the news that the Northern Wei was coming to support him, which was why he was so eager to attack Yonglu Pass.
They had an army of 500,000, and the war broke out suddenly at night. They were unprepared and could not resist at all.
"What about the bomb?"
"The bombs are only half destroyed, but they've already packed away everything they're going to use tonight. I don't know where they are."
Jiang Dingbei said with some annoyance.
"You know it's useless no matter where you are. We can't destroy it in front of them. It seems that Yonglu Pass can only fight a desperate battle tonight."
Jiang Weizhen took a deep breath and said, "General Yan, go and call everyone to the main tent."
"yes."
Before General Yan could figure out how Jiang Dingbei got out of the city, he received news of a night attack.
Without time to think, he knew that tonight was a matter of life and death for Yonglu Pass, so he hurried to call everyone.
When everyone learned that Yuelin Kingdom was going to attack at night, they all looked gloomy.
"General, I'm afraid we won't survive tonight. Why don't you take the people in the city and seek refuge in Yuanzhou first?"
One of the lieutenants suggested, and the others quickly agreed.
Since Yonglu Pass can no longer be defended, the only thing we can do is to save the commander-in-chief.
If Yonglu Pass and Jiangwei Town were lost tonight, the Yuan Dynasty would be truly finished.
But they forgot that Jiang Weizhen never deserted, and his voice was deafening.
"I, Jiang Weizhen, and Yongluguan will live and die together."
"Besides, how can you destroy your own prestige before the battle even begins? The outcome of this battle is still uncertain."
A desperate fight. As long as they can survive this night, Yue Lin will never be able to capture Yonglu Pass.
"Coach?"
Some people wanted to persuade them, but were stopped by General Yan. He had been guarding Yonglu Pass. He knew that once this place was breached, Yuanzhou would inevitably fall as well.
Since we have to fight anyway, we might as well do it at Yonglu Pass.
"We will live and die with the commander-in-chief and Yonglu Pass."
"We will live and die with the commander-in-chief and Yonglu Pass." All the soldiers shouted in unison.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Qingluo felt his blood boiling and felt the soldiers' determination to defend their country.
If she wanted to be a female general in the past, it was only because of her parents and her desire for a free life.
Now that she has arrived at the battlefield, she truly understands the duties of a general. She does not regret her decision, on the contrary, she has become more determined.
Even if she were to die in battle here today, she would feel that her death was worthy.
No regrets in this life.
But obviously Jiang Weizhen did not give her this opportunity. After arranging other things, he finally called Jiang Qingluo to the tent.
"Lolo, take the female armored troops to the city, evacuate the people, and then go to Yuanzhou."
"Father, I also want to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy."
Jiang Qingluo blurted out that her father didn't want to be a deserter, and neither did she. "I want to live and die with Yonglu Pass."
"Being brave doesn't mean going to the battlefield and killing the enemy. Our main goal is to protect the people of the Yuan Dynasty. What you do is equally important."
"We can die on this battlefield, but those unarmed civilians cannot. Many of them are women and children. They must survive."
Jiang Weizhen said earnestly, "And your mother and Wanwan."
Thinking of his two-year-old sister, Jiang Qingluo was finally moved.
Yes, she could die on the battlefield, but Wanwan, who was only two years old, could not, and neither could ordinary people who were still children like Wanwan.
She took a deep breath and nodded heavily.
"Okay, I will take the people in the city to Yuanzhou for refuge now."
After she walked out, Jiang Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief. He had his own selfish motives.
For the Jiang family, it is enough for him and his youngest son to guard Yonglu Pass. The two daughters cannot sacrifice with them.
He turned around, picked up the spear behind him, and strode outside.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
In the city
Yu Shulan looked at the sleeping Jiang Qingwan and felt a little uneasy.
Until she heard a noise outside, she walked out the door in a panic.
When she saw Jiang Qingluo, she vaguely realized what had happened.
"Lolo."
"Mother, quickly take Wanwan and the Northern Wei Crown Prince with you to Yuanzhou with me."
Jiang Qingluo didn't have time to explain and said directly.
"What about your father and Dingbei?"
"They...will guard Yonglu Pass."
Yu Shulan understood something after hearing this. She asked in a trembling voice, "Is the Yuelin Nation planning to attack Yonglu Pass tonight?"
Jiang Qingluo nodded, "Yes, Yonglu Pass is likely to be lost. Daddy asked me to take you and the people in the city away."
Hearing this, Yu Shulan's legs went weak and she almost fell down.
Since Jiang Weizhen issued this order, it means that there is an 80% chance that Yonglu Pass will be lost, and he will not survive.
"I…"
Yu Shulan really wanted to say that she would not leave and that she wanted to stay with her husband and children.
But when she looked at her eldest daughter with red eyes in front of her and her younger daughter who had already woken up behind her, she knew that she could not be willful.
"Okay, let's go."
Before she finished speaking, a childish and firm voice came from behind her, "We are not leaving."
"Wanwan?"
Yu Shulan went forward and hugged her, choking with sobs, "Let's leave first. Your father will come to pick us up in a few days."
She knew that this departure might be a farewell forever.
"No."
Jiang Qingwan still shook his head, "I won't let Daddy and Second Brother die."
"I will protect Yonglu Pass."
There was a strange light in her eyes.
[Even if this goes against the will of Heaven, I must protect Yonglu Pass and my father and second brother.]
[Those are my relatives. I will never let them die.]
She finally had a happy family, and she couldn't let it be broken.
She was able to protect him for one night.
"Wanwan, Daddy and Mommy only hope that you can be safe. Protecting Yonglu Pass is what your daddy, as the Marshal, must do. Let him face it."
It’s not that Yu Shulan doesn’t want to save her husband, but she knows that Jiang Qingwan’s magic power cannot be used at will, especially against Ruan Hezhu.
She didn't know if her daughter would get into any accidents if she did this, and she couldn't afford to take the risk.
