The promotion of the imperial palace of the prosperous Huangmou

Chapter 685 Siege
It was already the fifth day of the siege.

Large and small, they have already experienced six siege battles.

Now it's more difficult than ever.Every time it is more difficult to resist.

There is no way, this is a small city, if it wasn't for the good location, it would have been breached long ago.

There are fewer soldiers, fewer weapons, and fewer people.

More than half of the soldiers have been killed or injured. As long as the opponent makes another violent attack, the city will not be able to defend.

Li Yan has not dared to close his eyes for two days and two nights.

A pair of eyes were red and bloodshot.A lot of stubble came out, his chin was all blue, and his face was even more haggard and tired.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed from a fairy who does not take advantage of the breath of fireworks to a mortal.For no reason, it makes people feel more down-to-earth and less cautious.

Li Yan silently took the porridge handed over by the servant, and after taking two sips to regain his energy, he asked aloud: "How is the second prince?"

This time, he was only slightly injured and did not hinder his movement.But the second prince's injury was a bit serious: the injury was on the back, the wound was a bit big, although it didn't hurt his life, but... he lost a lot of blood, and he had a fever, the situation became more serious.

The second prince was in a coma.

Hearing Li Yan's question, the servant sighed: "Second Highness, his condition has stabilized a bit, but there is not much medicine left in the city, now..."

Even if it is used by the second prince first, but... there will always be a day when it runs out.

"How long is it expected that the reinforcements will arrive?" Li Yan asked again.

The servant shook his head: "No news yet."

Li Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "It should be only a few days. Either today or tomorrow. Xie Bucheng dare not not come. The palace should have replied by now—"

Xie Bucheng is the commander of Henan.

The uprising broke out that day, after Li Yan got the news, he didn't bother to deliver the news to the palace, so he asked someone to bring his own letter and tokens and rushed to Henan overnight to look for Xie Bucheng.

His thoughts coincided with Emperor Wen's.

However, it wasn't because he was worried about something happening in the capital, but because he knew what the ministers would say and what Emperor Wen would think in such a situation.

On the other side of the capital, Li Yan never counted on it.

In fact, besides Xie Bucheng, he also sent letters to Shanxi.

He doesn't want to die.

And here, you can't lose it.

At this moment, Li Yan's resolute words stabilized the uneasiness in other people's hearts a little.

"The soldiers guarding the city are exhausted." The servant reminded again, and asked a question that Li Yan hardly expected to answer: "Your Highness, what do you think?"

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it." Li Yan sighed, with a helpless tone.After a pause, he said, "Next time, I will sit on the tower in person."

The servant was startled, and said words of persuasion almost without hesitation: "Your Highness! Absolutely not!"

"If the city is broken, I will die. I'm going to die anyway, so why worry?" After Li Yan said this, he even chuckled.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at this moment, everyone saw a chill from the always gentle and gentle Prince.

Everyone also shuddered at the same time.

"Go, call all the people in the city. I have something to say." Li Yan put down the bowl, took a deep breath and stood up.He stretched out his hand to straighten out the folds of his clothes.
