There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Although he seldom entered the army, during the holidays, qualified generals in the army would come to the palace to pay their respects.

After a while, most of the generals in the army became familiar with this playboy.

Among them, Zhao Desheng was a capable general of his father and brother, and he went to the palace the most times.

The first time he killed someone was when Zhao Desheng took him to surround and kill the South Vietnamese scouts.

This dark-looking fat man really treated him as his own son or nephew.

"Your Majesty!"

After the people around recognized Li Lingge, they all knelt down.

Li Lingge walked directly to Zhao Desheng, his voice trembling slightly.

"Uncle Zhao."

When they got closer, Zhao Desheng could see clearly that the person coming was not his general.

He couldn't help but sigh, all the seductive glances he just gave were in vain.

"It turns out he's not dead yet."

cough cough.

Zhao Desheng vomited a mouthful of blood and felt much better.

"Why are you here instead of staying in the capital?"

He knew that Li Lingge did not have the talent to be a general and had never had any big ambitions since childhood.

Otherwise, he would have just put a yellow robe on this kid.

Now he hoped that Li Lingge could live safely in the capital and not wade into the muddy water in the southern border.

Even if the 300,000 troops in the southern border cannot protect the palace forever, they can at least ensure Li Lingge's safety throughout his life.

Li Lingge's eyes were slightly red.

"I heard that Western Zhou and Nanyue had formed an alliance, so I rushed here immediately."

Zhao Desheng looked at Li Lingge as if he were a fool, then raised his hand with difficulty and waved at him.

Seeing this, Li Lingge immediately bent down and moved closer to Zhao Desheng.

Zhao Desheng's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Zhenyuan City cannot be defended. Listen to my advice and leave quickly."

He saw the current situation of Zhenyuan City very clearly. It was only a matter of time before the city was captured.

But they can't retreat.

Moreover, his great general and his former brothers all died here, so he naturally would not retreat.

The Li family only has this one child left, and he cannot die here again.

He raised his head, looked at the distant sky, and murmured.

"I am not afraid of death, but I feel a little regretful that I cannot lead my brothers to conquer South Vietnam."

Clang.

As the long knife in Zhao Desheng's hand fell to the ground, he completely lost his life.

Li Lingge felt as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter anything for a long time.

He picked up the knife on the ground, then raised his hand and gently closed Zhao Desheng's eyes.

"I'll go for you."

On top of the city.

The soldiers did not fear the death of their commander, but instead raised their guns and shouted.

"Avenge the general!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

The shouts of the Gongbumen soldiers were earth-shaking and resounded through the sky.

After nearly a month of fierce fighting, the morale, which had been somewhat low, suddenly reached its peak.

Even though the enemies came like a tide, they not only did not retreat at all, but they were all fearless and unafraid of death.

Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't even set foot in the palace!

Li Lingge suddenly turned his head, staring like an eagle at a wolf, staring at the man holding the big bow - Hu Meilin!

dusk.

The army attacking the city gradually retreated, and Li Lingge leaned against the top of the city wall, holding the knife in his hand.

A figure walked up to him, his voice hoarse and a little tired.

"Big brother."

Li Lingge turned his head slightly and saw that Jiang Li had climbed up to the top of Gongbu Gate without him noticing.

He put away the knife in his hand and hung it around his waist.

"Tell me about the situation here."

Looking at that familiar profile, Jiang Li felt a little surprised, but more worried.

"Big Brother, please leave quickly."

Jiang Li said the same thing as Zhao Desheng. Swords and spears have no mercy on the battlefield, not to mention that there is a first-class archer Hu Meilin on the opposite side.

Zhao Desheng was already dead, and she didn't want Li Lingge to die here too.

Moreover, the current crisis in Zhenyuan City cannot be solved by just one more person.

Hearing this, Li Lingge said in a deep voice.

"Zhao Zhu!"

"The general is here!"

Zhao Zhu, who was passing by, immediately stopped and straightened his body.

Li Lingge glanced at Zhao Zhu, the son of Zhao Desheng, a playboy who used to hang out with him. As soon as he left, Zhao Desheng pulled him into the army.

"Tell me, why are there only so few people guarding the city?"

There are 300,000 troops in the southern border, but only one or two thousand are guarding the Gongbu Gate.

This is wrong, very wrong!

Zhao Zhu glanced at Jiang Li and said through gritted teeth.

"The Western Zhou army was divided into two groups. One group of 300,000 soldiers joined forces with the Nanyue army, entered Jiannan Road, and besieged Zhenyuan City."

"Another 300,000 troops marched eastwards to Jiangnan Road and captured several cities in succession. Now they have captured Wancheng."

"Dian, Yelang, Jiaozhi, Panyu, and Zhuya all marched northwards to attack Lingnan Road."

After a slight pause, Zhao Zhu took a deep breath.

"Zhenyuan City is almost becoming an isolated city."

He is the son of Zhao Desheng, so he naturally knows more than ordinary soldiers. Zhenyuan City is now in danger.

The South Vietnamese army was like crazy at the beginning, each of them was fearless and attacked the city without regard for losses.

He had fought with South Vietnam before, but the two sides had never been like they were now, with both sides being furious almost from the beginning.

The entire Zhenyuan City was like a big millstone, and countless people were strangled every day.

If it was just South Vietnam, they wouldn't be so passive.

Those idiots in the Western Territory have been living a quiet life for too long and probably don’t even know how to hold a knife.

The 300,000-strong army of the Western Zhou Dynasty marched straight in, captured several cities in succession, and even captured Wancheng.

Together with the small countries of Dian, Yelang, Jiaozhi, Panyu, and Zhuya, they would have an army of nearly 200,000.

Lingnan Road and Jiangnan Road have been affected by the war. Now not only Zhenyuan City is surrounded, but the entire Jiannan Road is surrounded on the map.

If we ignore them or wait for the court to send troops, the southern border will be surrounded first.

By then, with millions of enemy troops at the gates of the city, they would be even less able to defend.

Therefore, the Southern Border could only send troops to stop the encirclement in advance.

When Li Lingge heard that Wancheng was captured, he realized how passive Zhenyuan City was now.

Wancheng is the center of Jiangnan Road, which is rich in resources. In addition to basic food, fish and rice, there are also iron ore.

Moreover, Wancheng is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. By going south along the Han River, it can directly surround the southern border.

Wancheng, a city with dozens of them, and Wugu Pass not far to the west, is the last line of defense into the Central Plains.

After breaking through Wuguan, we can head north directly to the capital.

More importantly, Wancheng is the only grain pass in the southern border.

The capture of Wancheng and the loss of Jiangnan Road meant the cutting off of food supplies to the southern border.

Now that things have come to this, Jiang Li could only tell the truth.

"Wancheng is extremely important. I can only send most of my troops to Jiangnan Road, hoping to recapture Wancheng."

"The other part will enter Lingnan Road and drive back the Yelang coalition forces."

"Originally, leaving 20,000 people to defend the city would be enough to delay until the imperial court's reinforcements attack Wancheng, and the danger in the southern border would be resolved."

Having said this, Jiang Li clenched his fists slightly.

"But I didn't expect that the Western Zhou Dynasty would mobilize almost the entire country to attack. They sent 300,000 troops to invade Jiangnan Road, and even sent 300,000 troops to besiege Zhenyuan City together with Nanyue."

Li Lingge took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. The empress was going all in this time.

If Jiang Li ignores Jiangnan Dao, his crystal may be stolen or he may be made into a dumpling, it all depends on the mood of the empress.

"How could the Western Territory be defeated so quickly?"

Even though there had been no war in the Western Region for many years, it would not have been defeated in such a short time.

Jiang Li's face was full of helplessness.

"The Queen of Western Zhou leads the army in person."

The Western Zhou Dynasty was so unstoppable because the empress, who had not left the palace for many years, actually led the army to fight in person.

The Chu State's western front collapsed so quickly that she was caught off guard.

The empress seemed to have already anticipated what she would have to deal with next. Not long after she transferred the troops from the southern border, another 300,000 troops appeared outside Zhenyuan City.

The Western Zhou Dynasty and Nanyue joined forces, with a total army of 600,000.

Twenty thousand versus six hundred thousand!

It would take at least two months to hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Compared with the numerous holes in the city walls, the soldiers' physical and mental strength had been pushed to the limit.

Let alone two months, I’m afraid it can’t even last a month.

"More than half of the soldiers in the city have been killed or wounded. Now, at most, there are only 10,000 soldiers left to fight."

Li Lingge walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down at the corpses outside.

"Two of the three of us, the Li family, have already died here. The worst that can happen is that a third one will die."

After a slight pause, he slowly uttered four words, sonorous and powerful.

"I won't leave."

into the night.

Li Lingge almost cried out in surprise.

"You want a night raid?"
