Chapter 118 118
Qi Xiaobai traveled for two months to reach Linyi, but Yan Dan had already gathered all his troops and arrived on the plains north of Linyi.
They built fortifications, made perfect defensive preparations, and prepared to engage in a life-and-death contest with Qi Xiaobai's Qi army on the Linyi Plain.
As long as they win this war, Qi Xiaobai will definitely retreat, take Yan Jing and kill Qi Yan and Yan Qi, and Yan Dan can sit on the throne of Yan Gong.
Of course, if they are defeated, Qi Xiaobai will take advantage of the victory to pursue and exterminate Yan Dan, so as to take Yan Dan's head to Yanjing and meet his sister!
Originally, the county guards of Linyi also wanted to surrender to the previous county guards, but he was Jing Ke's old subordinate, and Jing Ke sent people to supervise the war, and he was not easy to resist, so he had to pull up the strong men of Linyi and combine his Linyi defenders to raise enough 100,000 people to defend Linyi.
Although Linyi has 100,000 people to defend the city, the real combat effectiveness is actually very weak, after all, it is a strong man who has been brought in, and the combat power of the strong man is not even enough for reserves.
The so-called strong soldiers, in fact, take a hoe and go to the battlefield, they are strong soldiers......
And the envoys sent by Qi Xiaobai in the past were actually not killed by the Linyi County Guard 'Li Lian', but by the people sent by Jing Ke to supervise the war, and the reason why they killed the envoy was to cut off Li Lian's back road and force Li Lian to defend the city.
Linyi couldn't hold it at all, and the reason why Yan Dan forced Li Lian was that he wanted to consume a wave of Qi troops in Linyi, so that the Qi army couldn't exert its absolute strength on the battlefield behind.
"Next, let's just wait for Linyi to lose, presumably Li Lian will defend Linyi, after all, the envoy of Qi died with him, he should know very well what will happen to him if Qi Xiaobai breaks the city!" Jing Ke said with a smile on the side.
"He's your old subordinate after all, you're doing this, aren't you!" Yan Dan said on the side.
"Childe, this is what I want to teach you, there must be no kindness of a woman, although he is my subordinate, he is also a courtier of Yan State, instead of surrendering, it is not to defend the city and die, do your part for Yan State!" Jing Ke said to Yan Dan.
And in the county guard mansion of Linyi, he was very unhappy in his heart, but he had nothing to do, since Yan Dan's army arrived in the Linyi Plain, his power to guard the county of Linyi was hollowed out, otherwise the envoy of Qi would not be killed by the people who supervised the war so easily.
In front of Li Lian, he had only two ways, one was to defend the city and die, and the other was to surrender and be killed by this overseer......
The reason why Li Lian's power can be hollowed out is mainly because Linyi belongs to southern Hebei, and most of the generals of his army here are Jing Ke's generals......
Li Lian sat in the position of the county guard, quietly waiting for the outcome of this war, although he is now a county guard, but the command is no longer in his hands, he just needs to wait for the result.
If he can stay alive, if he can't keep it, the anger of this Qi army will burn on him.
"Sir!" A mature woman enters the hall of the county guard with a young son.
"Why are you here?" One of these two is Li Lian's wife, and the other is Li Lian's son.
"Let's come and see you, there's already a battle outside!" The woman said to Li Lian.
"I know!" Li Lian said with a sigh.
In Li Lian's heart, this Linyi City could not be defended at all, if there was no Jing Ke, he would definitely choose to surrender, this is for the people in the city and his children and wife.
After all, after the Qi army broke the city, it must have been a killing of this people, in his impression.
But a lot of things are always different from what you think......
"Get out of here!" Li Lian took a deep breath and said.
"Master, I married you when I was fifteen years old, and now that you are in trouble, how can I abandon you?" The woman said to Li Lian.
"I thought about it, and my son died here with you!" The woman said to Li Lian.
"What nonsense, I just have a son, if he dies, my old Li family will be extinct, for my old Li family must take his son to leave this place of right and wrong!" Li Lian said to the woman.
"Sir!"
"Although I don't have any rights in Linyi, it's still okay to send one or two soldiers!" Li Lian said.
"Someone's coming!" Li Lian shouted, only to see two people wearing Yan Guo's military uniforms coming in.
"You two, protect, my children and my wife, get out of here!" Li Lian said to the two.
"This ......"
"What's wrong? Don't worry, I know what your mission is, and I don't think you want to die! Li Lian said to the two.
Now the soldiers in the entire city are actually guarding the city, and the reason why these two people are in the county guard mansion is actually to guard Li Lian and prevent Li Lian from surrendering on the city tower.
After all, if Li Lian surrendered in the city tower, then the strong men would definitely lay down their arms......
The soldiers may agree with the generals and Jing Ke who manage them, but the strong men here are all the people here, and they actually recognize the parents here, Li Lian.
"Don't worry, I won't surrender, I'll stay here until the city is broken!" Li Lian said to the two.
"Our family is in Jing Ke's hands...... the two still didn't dare to leave here.
"Don't you want to live? I see that you are only in your twenties, and you die here, don't you think it's a pity? Li Lian saw that the two hesitated, and he shouted angrily.
"The envoy of the State of Qi died here, and the State of Qi will not let me go, so even if I surrender, it will not end well, so you can rest assured!" Li Lian said to the two.
After listening to Li Lian's words, the two felt that this was indeed the case, Li Lian killed the envoy of Qi State, and he would not end well if he surrendered, it was better to defend here, after all, if the death defense was successful, he still had a chance to live!
These two people are indeed as Li Lian said, they don't want to die, they are still young, and they still have families......
"Lord Gunjo, don't worry, we will take care of Madame and your children!" The two patted their chests and said.
Li Lian took out a jade pendant: "My money has been dispersed by the person who oversaw the war, and it has been paid as a military salary, and now only this jade pendant is the most valuable item I have now, this is for you!" ”
The two took it, after all, the woman and son who took care of Li Lian needed money, and his two soldiers were poor and jingled, if they didn't have money, maybe they would throw Li Lian's wife and children out of the city after they took them.
So in order to make people take better care of the mother and son, Li Lian took out the jade pendant and gave it to the two, of course, the two may also swallow the jade pendant privately, and take the mother and son out of the city and throw them away.
However, Li Lian could only pray in his heart, these two people were not this kind of people, and Li Lian had to rely on these two people to make the mother and son leave the city, and it was difficult for her mother and son to leave the city alone.
As long as he can get out of the city, as for what the two of them will do later, he can only pray in his heart to develop in a good place.
