Chapter 139: Defending Longcheng
Yun Qianyi suddenly looked at Madam Meng, took two quick steps forward, and went over to hold her hand.

"Don't worry, be careful of a miscarriage, but is the epidemic in the city starting to recur again?"

Mrs. Meng shook her head, took a deep breath and said:

"The Northern Xia army is launching a surprise attack. They are only thirty kilometers away from Longcheng and will be at the gates of the city in a few days."

She is truly worthy of being the mistress of the general's mansion. With just one concise and clear sentence, she clearly stated the matter and the time.

Yun Qianyi's pupils suddenly contracted. She was only surprised for a moment before regaining her composure and asking:

"How many soldiers are left in Longcheng? How many troops are there in the Beixia army?"

The deputy general following Madam Meng immediately relayed Jun Yanci's order to leave 5,000 soldiers behind to Yun Qianyi.

Yun Qianyi was slightly stunned. Could it be that Jun Yanci had already anticipated that Beixia would come?
Just as Mrs. Meng was relieved, she heard the deputy general say:
"Although the number of people coming from Beixia is not as large as that from Xiyuan, they are the Chiyang Army, which is famous in the four countries. They can fight one against ten, and their combat power is extremely strong."

After he finished speaking, the faces of the people present changed.

The autumn wind was already a little chilly, and it made people feel even colder when it blew on them.

Seeing Yun Qianyi's silence, Madam Meng and the deputy general looked at each other and said hesitantly:
"Doctor Yun, should we ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help?"

"How about I send a few more waves of people to the capital."

After hearing what they said, Yun Qianyi shook his head and denied it:

"No."

There was an indescribable firmness in those fox eyes, and Yun Qianyi continued to analyze.

"Beixia's sneak attack on Longcheng has only one purpose, which is to attack from both sides with Xiyuan and take down Sucheng. Once these two cities are lost, the west and north of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be breached from the inside and fall one after another, heading straight for the capital. The consequences will be disastrous."

"For the current Longcheng, every soldier is very valuable. Moreover, after so long, we have sent hundreds of messengers, but there is still no news from the capital. We can no longer count on external aid."

In a short time, Yun Qianyi summed up the current situation in one sentence, and Madam Meng and the deputy general immediately nodded in agreement.

"Deputy General Chen, the terrain of Longcheng is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You will follow me to guard the city gates. We must stop the Beixia army and must not add any more pressure to the Eastern Jin soldiers in Sucheng."

The battle against Xiyuan's 100,000-strong army was already a tough one, and if there was another fire later, the Eastern Jin Dynasty would undoubtedly be defeated.

"Yes!" Deputy General Chen clasped his hands together with a serious look in his eyes.

"Madam Meng, this is not only a matter of life and death for Sucheng, but also a matter of life and death for Dongjin. So, I need your help."

Yun Qianyi hadn't finished speaking when Madam Meng lowered her head.

"As long as Divine Doctor Yun gives my orders, I will do my best!"

"Take all the children, pregnant women, and elderly people in the city and evacuate them as quickly as possible."

Madam Meng was stunned, and immediately understood Yun Qianyi's meaning, and quickly retorted:
"How can this be possible! Divine Doctor Yun, Longcheng is our home, and we are supposed to protect Longcheng."

Just when Yun Qianyi was about to speak, a group of people suddenly squeezed in from the main hall. They were all citizens of the city who came to thank Yun Qianyi.

Originally, they had not intended to eavesdrop. The main reason was that after they came in, the people in the Meng Mansion seemed to have disappeared. They waited and waited, but Yun Qianyi never showed up.

So I thought about going to the back to take a look, and who would have thought that I would just hear these words.

"Doctor Yun, you have been working tirelessly for our Longcheng these days, saving lives day and night, and even fell ill yourself. How can we let you take risks again!"

"You're right, Doctor Yun. After all, I've served in the army. If I can kill a few more enemies, it will be a contribution to Longcheng and the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

"We want to stay, Divine Doctor Yun. Even if you give the order, we won't leave! We want to live and die with Longcheng!"

"General Meng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are already fighting hard. If Longcheng is lost again, how can we be worthy of them!" Yun Qianyi looked at them talking to each other, feeling very emotional, but this burning heart made her feel a different emotion.

Remember at the end of the world, no matter how many people she saved or how many sacrifices she made, those people were always greedy and wanted more and more.

Especially when Yun Qianyi was being hunted and had nowhere to go, no one was willing to help.

They either condemn or escape.

But now, these people not only remember her and are grateful to her, but they even want to stand by her side.

"Okay, we live and die together."

Yun Qianyi's stunning face became extremely bright and dazzling under the bright sunlight.

The crisis situation was imminent, but she remained calm and showed no fear at all.

-

The next day
On top of the city wall stood a neat row of soldiers, all of them in high spirits with serious expressions.

Yun Qianyi was wearing a military uniform and had her long hair tied up. Her tall figure made her stand out among the other soldiers.

She looked at the Beixia army slowly appearing not far away. This familiar scene really made her nostalgic.

But this time, she was no longer alone.

Yun Qianyi's belief is no longer just for herself.

"Deputy General Chen, how was the effect of yesterday's deployment?"

Yun Qianyi looked at Deputy General Chen who was jogging over and asked.

Lieutenant General Chen was smiling, with admiration in his eyes.

"Dr. Yun, you are truly amazing! You chose the perfect spot. Once the rock fell, the Beixia army slowed down immediately. They suffered quite a few casualties."

It was Jun Yanci who told her about the natural geographical location of Longcheng.

So, when Yun Qianyi and Deputy General Chen went to see it yesterday, they had an idea in their minds.

According to the scouts, Beixia has sent at least 30,000 troops this time, of which 20,000 ordinary soldiers will fight in the front and the remaining 10,000 Chiyang troops will fight in the rear.

Since they are bound to attack sooner or later, it would be wise to kill as many enemies as possible without wasting manpower.

Yun Qianyi had never commanded such a large-scale battle before. She had always fought alone, and she was actually very nervous inside.

But she knew basic common sense: with the army in the front, the morale of the troops must be kept stable.

"Tell the soldiers not to slack off. Beixia will attack us by noon at the latest."

This strategy can only delay the army for a while, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Yun Qianyi knew what was going on, and the soldiers of Longcheng knew it too, so they were always on high alert.

"Divine Doctor Yun, there is someone in the city who wants to see you."

Who would come to Longcheng at this time and want to see her?
Yun Qianyi narrowed his eyes, and after seeing the people under the city, he was surprised for a moment. He immediately asked the soldiers to open the door and walked down himself.

"Why are you here?"

Although they had only met once at the martial arts conference, Yun Qianyi had the ability to remember everything he saw.

He recognized Xuan Shi at a glance.
