I summon all the famous generals in history in another world

Chapter 1076: Gold and jade on the outside, but ruins on the inside!
"Your Highness, I think that's a good idea."

"It's just that the rebels are besieging the city very urgently, and the matter of breaking out..."

Yu Juro looked at Yang Guang who was getting more and more excited as he spoke, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he bowed and said.

"We have to break through!"

Yang Guang slammed the table so hard that the wolf-hair brush on the pen holder jumped up.

"But if I leave, the army in the city will be in chaos."

"My father always said that a general should share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. How can I abandon the soldiers of the three armies?"

When he said this, he suddenly started coughing violently, and this time even the jade pendant on his waist hit the corner of the table, making a crisp sound.

"But...but my father has secretly taught me a strategy to defeat the enemy, but I need to go to the northern camp in person to implement it."

"Old General, you know my temper. If it weren't for the serious matter, why would I flee from the battlefield?"

Yu Juluo was about to step forward when Yang Guang suddenly grabbed his wrist with amazing force.

Yu Juro looked at Yang Guang's knuckles which had turned white from exertion, and suddenly remembered how the second son of the Duke had worked so hard to build up the image in front of them over the past twenty years. Now it seemed a bit ironic.

"Your Highness, rest assured."

"I will immediately arrange for the most elite Tiger and Leopard Battalion of the Xuanming Cavalry to escort Your Highness, but..."

The old general held Yang Guang's hand with his backhand, and the rough calluses scratched the back of the second prince's hand so hard that it hurt.

"Your Highness should focus on state affairs and not get entangled with the rebels."

He paused deliberately, looked at Yang Guang's eyebrows which were gradually starting to rise, and sighed.

"General, you are wrong! I am not going there to escape, but to get reinforcements!"

"Once my father's army arrives, we will cooperate with the inside and outside to make those rebels..."

Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still suppressed his excitement and said in a trembling voice.

"Your Highness!"

Yu Juluo suddenly raised his voice, shocking Yang Guang so much that the second half of his words got stuck in his throat.

"This is a token to mobilize the Xuanming Cavalry. Your Highness, please keep it. However..."

The old general took out a bronze tiger talisman from his bosom, with blood stains still lingering between the patterns.

"The rebels are cunning and may have set up an ambush outside the city. When Your Highness breaks out, you should go southeast. There is a dense forest there where you can hide."

He suddenly lowered his voice and gave instructions to Yang Guang who was beginning to get a little excited.

Yang Guang, however, did not have the heart to think about these things. He just stared at the token in the old general's hand, as if he had seen thousands of elite Red Feathered Tiger Cavalry breaking through the encirclement, saw his cloak fluttering as he rode his horse at full speed, and saw... saw his father shedding tears in the northern camp.

By then, Xu Shiji and Xuanyuan Po will be nothing but dry bones in a tomb!
"The old general is loyal and righteous. I...I will report this to my father and ask for the general's title to be hereditary!"

He reached out to take the token, but his fingertips touched the old general's rough palm.

"Your Highness!"

Yu Juluo suddenly grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and the force was so strong that Yang Guang almost cried out.

"The road to breakout is difficult and dangerous. Although the Xuanming Cavalry is brave, they are ultimately outnumbered. This old minister has a secret order..."

The old general's voice was as low as a mosquito.

"When the city is breached, there will be dozens of green-veiled fast horses at the west gate, and the drivers will all be personal guards who have followed me for twenty years. Your Highness only needs to show this order, and they will escort Your Highness..."

He suddenly leaned closer and his bloody breath sprayed into Yang Guang's ear.

Yang Guang heard his heart beating like a drum, and the green curtain and the fast horse? Wouldn't that be more stable?

He took the tiger talisman, his fingertips trembling slightly. The bronze medal was so hot in his palm that he almost laughed out loud.

"The old general has thought of everything very carefully. I...I will definitely live up to your trust!"

He suppressed his excitement and tried to remain calm.

Yu Juro looked at Yang Guang's expression, who pretended to be calm but was actually panicked, and suddenly remembered the secret letter from Yang Jian before the expedition.

There were only eight words in the letter: "If things cannot be done, sacrifice your son to save the city!"

The old general closed his eyes and sighed. When he opened them again, his eyes had returned to their usual cloudy state. At this moment, a thunderous cheer suddenly came from outside the city.

Leaning over the wall and looking, I saw nine red Kongming lanterns rising in the anti-king coalition army's formation, turning half the sky blood red.

"Report——!"

"Xu Shiji's flag is pointing to Xuanwu Gate. The witches and priests from the Eighteen Villages in Southern Xinjiang are... are..."

The messenger tumbled and crawled to the top of the city wall.

"Say!"

Yu Juluo slapped the arrow stack with his palm, causing Yang Guang to step back half a step.

"They are... setting up a blood sacrifice formation in the north of the city! They are saying that they want to... summon the Nine Li Flags!"

Before the messenger finished speaking, a fishy wind suddenly blew up outside the city, and countless poisonous insects could be vaguely seen gathering into a black torrent, winding towards the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

Yang Guang's face turned pale, and his fingertips dug deep into his palm. Jiuli flag? That was a bad omen of massacre!

"Old General! Now is the best time to break out! Xu Shiji's main force is at the north gate, so the west gate must be empty!"

He grabbed the Yujuro arm armor fiercely.

Yu Juluo looked at the poisonous fog swirling outside the city and suddenly laughed out loud, scaring away all the crows in the city and making Yang Guang's eardrums hurt.

"Your Highness has a good eye! I will arrange a breakout right away!"

When he turned around, Yang Guang clearly saw a gleam of light in the corner of his eyes.

Only after the old general's back disappeared at the end of the corridor did Yang Guang slump down on the ground. The hem of his cloak was covered with dust, and his carefully combed hair was a little tangled.

He took out the tiger talisman from his arms, and the cool touch made him calm down a little.

Father, oh father, please don't blame me for being cruel. This Lintong City...cannot be defended after all.

Suddenly, a long horn sounded outside the city, and Yang Guang trembled all over. It was the bone flute of the southern barbarian beastmaster!

He rolled and crawled to the parapet, but saw countless poisonous snakes pouring out of the moat, their scales glowing strangely green in the firelight.

What's even more terrifying is that those poisonous snakes formed a strange formation under the city, vaguely forming a huge picture of the Jiuli Demon God!

"Your Highness! It's time to move!"

The voice of the commander of the personal guards exploded in his ears, and Yang Guang was shocked to realize that his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

He took one last look at the black bird flag fluttering on the top of the city wall, and suddenly remembered the scene when his father went to war three days ago.

At that time, Yang Jian stroked the parapet on the top of the city wall and said, "Guang'er, this Lintong City is handed over to you." He seemed to vaguely see a flash of disappointment in his father's eyes.

"Your Highness!"

The commander urged again, and Yang Guang stood up straight with his cloak fluttering behind him.

"I am the second son of the Duke of Great Xuan Sui. How can I escape from the battlefield?"

"Pass the order down. Anyone who retreats in battle will be killed! Anyone who..."

He turned around and looked at the many Daxuan soldiers who were looking at him. His passionate voice echoed on the top of the city, scaring a few night owls away.

"Your Highness!"

Yujuluo went away and came back with fresh blood on his silver armor.

"The rebel coalition has begun to attack the city! The Nanman beasts have already breached the iron gate of the north gate, and the Molin Guards of Shaoshuai's army, one of the thirty-six rebel armies, are setting up ladders!"

Yang Guang's Adam's apple rolled as he glanced at the hundreds of Red Feathered Tiger Guards and Xuanming Cavalry behind the old general. These elite soldiers were all wearing masks, and the horses under their crotch were spewing white air from their nostrils. They clearly looked like they had been in battle for a long time.

"Old General! Yang Guang and Lintong will live and die together!"

Yang Guang was ecstatic in his heart, but his face showed a sad expression.

"Your Highness!"

"I am willing to lead my troops to fight to the death, just for Your Highness... to be safe and sound!"

Yu Juluo turned his head, took a deep breath, and then suddenly knelt on one knee. The silver armor collided with the blue bricks with a dull sound.
