In Mantuo City, Li Qingluo once again rejected the killers' request to leave first.
"Stop talking! I won't agree to this."
"If you go against my will again, I will send all of you away, and no one will remain."
"I don't need subordinates who disobey me. Do you understand?"
"I said before that I will defend Mantuo City with the people of the city and the soldiers outside the city until my death."
"If I hadn't been pregnant, I wouldn't even have just sat there in the city waiting to die."
"I will personally take up my sword and go to the battlefield, instead of hiding in the city and being protected by you."
"If I run away now, won't it chill the hearts of the people and soldiers in the city?"
"I also believe in them. They will never lose."
Even without the Grand Marshal, she would definitely be able to help Duan Rongshi stabilize the morale of the army.
If she really left, it would completely chill everyone's heart.
Thinking this, Li Qingluo took everyone to the street inside the city gate.
She stood at the front with the Biluo Sword in her hand, listening to the shouts of fighting outside, as if she were already on the battlefield, standing with all the soldiers.
The people in the city saw the princess coming out with a bulging belly, and she was only a few steps away from the city gate.
Who among the people would not be deeply shocked and moved by this?
If the city gates were breached, she would be the first to face it.
Is she really not afraid?
Of course she is afraid!
How could she not be afraid? She was going to be a mother too.
She was not afraid of bleeding or dying, but she was afraid that the baby in her belly would be affected by her.
At this moment, Li Qingluo's hand would unconsciously touch her pregnant belly which was about to give birth.
"Good boy, will you defend this city with your mother?"
The people took whatever weapons they could get at home, ran to the street, and stood behind the princess.
The princess didn't care about her big belly, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city guarding their home. How could they just hide at home and wait?
When necessary, they can also rush out!
They can also protect the princess!
"Everyone……"
Que'er looked behind her with emotion, supporting Li Qingluo with red eyes.
"Girl, everyone is behind us."
Li Qingluo didn't dare to look back.
Just nodded slightly.
"We will never betray their trust."
"Never."
The result was naturally a great victory.
Madam Pei commanded the battlefield.
Pofeng, Zhuiyu and Lengdian each led their troops and divided them into three groups to completely encircle and suppress the Western Region army again.
The Lanhai army didn't even suffer any major losses.
The Western Region army was easily defeated.
The Western Region army once again abandoned their armor and fled, but took at least three thousand prisoners.
Madam Pei ordered the horn to be blown, and the troops were withdrawn and the fighting ended.
Don't chase the defeated enemy.
Although if we chase them this time, we may capture three more cities.
However, the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces has not returned yet, so any major measures should not be taken lightly.
Madam Pei just planned to continue defending the city. Being able to defend this Mantuo City would be her greatest gift to the new emperor of Great Chu!
Half a month later, the Western Region Army returned to test again.
After discovering that Mantuo City was still just defending the city and had no intention of counterattacking, the Western Region Army finally had other ideas.
They took a detour and went to Yaocheng, three hundred miles away.
However, Zhui Yu had already led his troops to Yaocheng under the arrangement of Mrs. Pei.
Everything happened as Madam Pei had expected. The Western Region army planned to attack Mantuo City again by encircling it.
However, Mantuo City and other cities of Da Chu are now fortresses with iron walls and solid defenses, and there is no way to break through.
The Western Region army, having suffered another defeat in Yaocheng, had no choice but to turn around and head north.
Another half month later, Yuncheng on the border of Daliang was attacked, but within three days, news came that the city had been captured by the Western Regions.
After all, Madam Pei was from Daliang and was once a beautiful general guarding the border. How could she ignore it?
She couldn't sit still, so Li Qingluo handed the tiger talisman that Duan Rongshi had given him before he left to Madam Pei.
"grandmother."
"Go ahead."
"Take back Yuncheng and drive out the people from the Western Regions."
Madam Pei looked at the tiger talisman in her hand in great shock.
"This, this is actually in your hands?"
It turned out that before Duan Rongshi left, he handed the tiger talisman to Li Qingluo.
It was because they were afraid that someone would disobey Li Qingluo at a critical moment, so they let her hold it so that she could freely command the army.
Li Qingluo hadn't taken it out yet not because he was on guard against anyone.
But it has never been used.
Now, if we want to recapture Yuncheng, it is time for the Tiger Talisman to come into play.
"Grandmother, don't worry about the soldiers being dissatisfied. Just recapture Yuncheng and raise the flag of the Lanhai Army."
Madam Pei's eyes lit up.
"yes!"
"I'm not here to recapture the city for Daliang, but to plant the flag of the Lanhai army."
"In this way, the soldiers will naturally follow me."
"Yuncheng and its people don't have to fall into the hands of the people from the Western Regions."
"Luo'er, Grandmother is going to Yuncheng herself. You here..."
Mrs. Pei looked at Li Qingluo's belly with some concern.
Luo'er is about to give birth. Do I really want to leave her and go?
