Chapter 436 The Imperial City is on Fire
Ye Xianfeng stood up, and the father and daughter supported each other's backs and started fighting again.
Ye Hanyi's body was covered with cuts one after another, and the pain made him numb.
Suddenly, a loud war cry was heard.
It was the war cry of the Nanyue Kingdom.
Reinforcements from Nanyue have arrived!
They regrouped their war elephants and marched towards the southern Yunnan army.
Originally, the entire army in southern Yunnan was supported by a belief that they would do their utmost to destroy the Kingdom of Nanyue.
But the arrival of the enemy's reinforcements was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing their already shaky faith.
He was just holding on, but now all his strength was gone.
With their current military strength, they can't win at all!
Instead of continuing to resist in vain, it is better to just lie down and die.
A look of despair also welled up in Ye Xianfeng's eyes.
The miracle did not happen.
This time, the Southern Yunnan Prefecture is really doomed.
Ye Xianfeng pushed Ye Hanyi back, "Hanyi, hurry up and leave! Your father will protect you from leaving the city!"
Ye Hanyi refused to leave.
"I won't leave. I won't be a deserter! Grandfather and Daddy always told me not to be a deserter. I can't go against your teachings!"
Ye Xianfeng's chest heaved violently, his eyes bloodshot. "This is a different time now. Nothing is more important than staying alive! Listen to me, leave quickly! We can't let your mother wait in vain..."
These last words hit Ye Hanyi hard in the heart.
All three of them went to the battlefield, and their mother was waiting for them at home.
How cruel would it be if you can't even wait for the last one?
"father……"
"Go!"
Ye Hanyi's eyes were blurred by tears.
Her heart was torn with pain.
The enemy's reinforcements were getting closer and closer, and Ye Hanyi had to be cruel, grit his teeth, and turn away.
She must stay alive. Only by staying alive can she have the chance to take revenge!
Just as Ye Hanyi was fighting all the way and running wildly out of the city, a series of rapid war trumpets suddenly came from the city.
That's an emergency signal for help!
"It's on fire! The imperial city is on fire!"
"The Imperial City is under attack. The King is in danger. All generals, hurry to support him!"
Duan Xinghua was originally happy about the arrival of reinforcements, but he didn't expect that trouble would break out in his rear area. The original reinforcements quickly withdrew and went to the imperial city for support.
Duan Xinghua was furious.
The Southern Yunnan Army was indeed cunning! While drawing fire here, they actually sent troops to raid the Imperial City.
But how did they do it?
Ye Hanyi paused, and joy flashed in her eyes again.
It’s my cousin!
It must have been him who led the troops to raid the imperial city!
Very good!
She immediately changed direction and joined the battle.
At this moment, she seemed to be filled with strength.
While swinging his sword and slashing, he shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has led his troops to raid the Nanyue Imperial City. Victory is at hand, let's keep charging!"
Ye Xianfeng also cheered up, the sadness of separation from life and death just now disappeared, and the pain in his body seemed to disappear in an instant.
He also shouted loudly to boost morale. In an instant, the southern Yunnan army was revived with full blood. They shouted and swung their swords to kill. Their bravery was as if they were in an uninhabited place.
When Duan Xinghua saw this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
The Kingdom of Nanyue is probably nearing the end of its life!
The surprise attack on the rear of the Nanyue Kingdom turned the tide of the war, which was originally a sure defeat.
Once people have faith, they will burst out with infinite power.
This is the case with the Southern Yunnan Army.
Most people don’t know how Xiao Yanci suddenly appeared from the sky and raided the imperial city of Nanyue, nor do they know how many troops he brought with him.
Everyone only knew that they had their own people ahead! The South Vietnamese had reinforcements, they had special forces, and they would definitely not lose!
This belief supports most people and enables everyone to burst out with tremendous fighting power.
At this time, the imperial city of Nanyue was already engulfed in flames.
The culprit behind all this is undoubtedly Xiao Yanci.
No one knows how he and his 3,000 men managed to cross Baihu Ridge with so much difficulty.
Before they even got down the mountain, dozens of brothers had been killed.
Even the rest of them had a narrow escape from death.
They had delayed on the mountain for too long, and Xiao Yanci was extremely anxious, fearing that they would miss the opportunity and cause irreversible consequences.
Fortunately, although they were a little late in going down the mountain, it was not too late and everything was still in time.
At this time, the two countries were at war and the city was in chaos, which also made things convenient for Xiao Yanci and his party.
With the help of the topographic map given by Jiang Nansheng, they made very smooth progress.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Xiao Yanci's purpose was very clear, and he went straight to the imperial city.
While sending people to set fire to the imperial city, he sneaked into the palace and captured the king of Nanyue.
In the past, they certainly would not have succeeded so easily, but this time, the timing, location, and people were all right.
The two armies were fighting in the front, and the situation was not optimistic, so the King of Nanyue ordered all the troops to be dispatched to support. There were very few guards left in the imperial city, so Xiao Yanci and his party succeeded without any effort.
The King of Nanyue is fifty years old this year. He has gained a lot of fat due to years of luxury.
At this time, Xiao Yanci put a knife on his neck, and he was so scared that his face changed.
"Who are you? How did you sneak into the Imperial City?"
Xiao Yanci didn't waste any time talking to him. He directly lifted him onto the horse and brought him to the front of the battle.
When the South Vietnamese army saw that their king was being held hostage, they did not dare to act rashly.
Xiao Yanci shouted, "Listen up, soldiers of Nanyue! I am Xiao Yanci, King Jin of the Great Qi. Your ruler is now bound by my sword. If you lay down your arms and surrender now, I will show mercy and spare your death!"
The South Vietnamese troops were suddenly in an uproar.
Want to surrender?
His words sound nice, but if they truly surrender, will they still be alive?
The King of Nanyue also stiffened his neck and shouted, "I, the people of Nanyue, would rather die than surrender!"
Upon hearing this, the South Vietnamese troops seemed to have a backbone and shouted "We would rather die than surrender!"
Xiao Yanci said coldly, "Your royal city has been breached, and the Southern Yunnan Army is advancing from the south. How long can you hold out like trapped beasts? Those who stubbornly resist will only add to the corpses, leaving parents without children and wives and children without support!"
These words once again threw the South Vietnamese soldiers into disarray, with many showing signs of fear and hesitation.
At this time, Duan Xinghua came galloping from the city gate. After hearing what Xiao Yanci said, he shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't listen to him! The Yunnan-Southern Army is undermanned and at the end of its strength. If we surrender, we will truly fall into their trap!"
Duan Xinghua's words once again turned the situation around.
Xiao Yanci's eyes suddenly darkened.
He placed the knife against the neck of the King of Nanyue. "The Nanyue nation rests in my hands. If you remember your former master, you should lay down your arms and surrender. Otherwise... the incense offerings to the Taimiao will cease today!"
The fat body of the King of Nanyue shuddered violently.
He raised his head and looked at Duan Xinghua for help.
"Lord Duan, save me! Save me now! I don't want to die!"
Duan Xinghua's face was filled with grief. "Your Majesty, we will do our utmost to rescue you! Soldiers, charge! Anyone who dares to invade our land will die!"
