Chapter 87 Gathering
Cao Yunmeng was already terrified at this time. When she heard Chen Huaian, who was guarding beside her, sending troops for help, she instinctively asked, "Can those new recruits that Wang An just recruited do it? Does he... dare to come?"

Chen Huaian's face darkened and he couldn't help but fall into deep doubt.

Although the new recruits of the Jizhou Guards trained by Wang An were very brave and warlike, and he himself served as their instructor, they were, after all, just some new recruits who had been trained for a short time, and could not be compared with the three hundred Eastern Tartars in front of them.

However, with the advantage in numbers, if the leader is willing to risk everything and is brave enough, it is not impossible to simply repel these Eastern Tartars at the cost of certain casualties.

But does Wang An dare?
Will he come!

For these Eastern Tartars, if they could capture a prince of Daliang alive, it would be something worth showing off.

So Chen Huaian did not answer, because he was not sure in his heart.

However, Xiao Zhao, who was guarding Cao Yunmeng, suddenly said, "The prince will definitely come. Xiao Zhao believes in him!"

Cao Yunmeng had already run out of ideas at this time, and could only grasp Xiao Zhao's words as a life-saving straw. With a pale face, he nodded and said, "Yeah, Wang An should be here!"

"No, he will definitely come! I am his princess!"

At this time, the Prince of Donglu outside the encirclement looked at Cao Yunmeng with a strange smile. His triangular eyes kept looking up and down at Cao Yunmeng's figure, and he said with a lewd smile: "These Southern Dynasty women are really beautiful, much better than those sows in the tribe!"

Longkodo, who had pretended to fire a few shots at the black-armored trooper, rode back and stood by the little prince, saying with a smile, "Little prince, please look, not only is the princess beautiful, but the maid next to her is also quite good!"

The little prince followed Longkodo's gaze and saw Xiao Zhao holding a sword and protecting Cao Yunmeng.

The little prince's eyes suddenly brightened up, and he said with a strange smile: "It's really good. I will let this master and servant serve me together in a while!"

Longkodo filled his lips and said, "If the little prince has finished playing, can you give it to me to have a taste as well?"

The little prince glanced at Longkodo, hummed and said, "I heard that your mother is famous for her beauty. If you can convince your mother to accompany me, it's not impossible."

Longkodo rolled his eyes and said, "Then it's a deal with the little prince!"

The little prince burst into laughter when he heard this. When he thought of the rumors about Longkodo's mother, he suddenly felt that something was happening.

She is said to be the woman with the best skills in the Donglu tribe.

At the same time, Nano's black-armored guards broke out of the encirclement and rode madly towards the White City.

When the White City gate was visible from afar, the black-armored guard shouted loudly: "Quickly inform the prince, the Eastern Tartars are invading, and the princess is in danger!"

Seeing this, the bailiffs guarding the city hurriedly made way.

At this time, the black-armored guards had already passed through the city gate and were quickly heading towards the government office.

The black-armored guard who came back to report staggered to Wang An who was handling official business. Without waiting for Wang An to ask, he immediately said anxiously: "Your Highness, a group of Eastern Tartar cavalry crossed the border for some reason and ran into the princess's outing group. They are now engaged in battle!"

"Master Chen Huaian opened the encirclement for me and ordered me to return for help!"

As soon as Wang An heard about the Eastern Tartar cavalry, he stood up immediately. Without waiting for the black-armored guard to finish speaking, he asked Chen He, who was serving on the side, to order Xu Huang to assemble the entire army.

After he calmed the black-armored guard down a bit, he immediately growled, "Where is Yu Nu?"

The jade slave who usually never showed up in front of people suddenly appeared from nowhere and said in a cold voice: "The jade slave is here!"

Wang An said solemnly, "You will go with me to the battle and act according to circumstances."

Yu Nu nodded without saying anything more. After Wang An finished speaking, he immediately returned to the backyard and put on his armor with the help of the maid.

This set of armor was provided by the imperial court as a rule to the princes of Daliang before they were sent to foreign posts, implying that the princes of Daliang would guard the borders for Daliang.

This is the first time Wang An wears it.

Although this set of armor has more symbolic significance than practical significance, it is a prince's armor after all. It is very well made and the materials are not skimped on. It is indeed majestic when worn.

After a while, Wang An appeared at the gate of the government office wearing golden armor.

At this time, Xu Huang rushed over after hearing the news. I continued to command the new recruits of Jizhou Guard to line up.

Although they had only been training for a short time, because Wang An attached great importance to queues, the efficiency of the queue was quite high, and soon they were neatly lined up in front of the government office.

However, when Wang An saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The one hundred sets of armor extorted from Shuangfeng Pass were just enough to equip the veteran soldiers of Jizhou Guard, and the remaining dozen sets have been distributed to newly selected officers.

As for the remaining 800 or so recruits, they could only select corresponding complete and decent cotton armor from the arsenal of the original Jizhou Guard.

Even so, the cotton armor worn by most of the recruits was somewhat tattered, and they looked like a group of defeated soldiers.

It seems that replacing the armaments is imminent, but now is not the time to think about it.

Wang An got on his horse and said succinctly, "The Eastern Tartars have invaded Jizhou and are now engaging our army 20 miles outside the city. Brothers, do you have the courage to join me in the fight?"

The new recruits were hastily gathered and were still a little confused. Now when they heard that it was the Eastern Tartars who were invading, they were immediately in an uproar.

Every citizen in Jizhou is well aware of the vicious reputation of the Eastern Tartars.

Countless people from Jizhou died at their hands, and even many of these new recruits had deep blood feuds with the Eastern Tartars.

In addition, he had been well-fed by Wang An during this period, and had received the devilish training from Chen Huaian and Xu Huang. He was already full of energy and full of anger, and he roared when he heard this.

"Fight, fight, fight!"

Wang An was very satisfied. Although he didn't know the fighting capacity of these new recruits, at least their momentum was not inferior to anyone else.

Wang An squeezed his horse's belly and roared, "Okay, all the soldiers, follow me to the battle!"

After saying that, Wang An took the lead and rushed towards the city gate.

Xu Huang also stood up immediately and roared, "You little bastards, don't embarrass me this time when the prince is leading the charge!"

Immediately, the rear formation became the front formation, and the front formation became the rear formation, and the rumbling footsteps followed Wang An closely.

At this time, the battle between the Black Armor Guards and the Eastern Tartars had reached a critical juncture.

Although there is nothing to say about the elite Black Armor Guards, the Eastern Tartars are no pushovers for being able to wreak havoc outside the Great Wall.

What's more, they have the advantage in numbers.
