In his opinion, it is impossible to defeat him, but the problem is that the Shanlian Empire does not seem to accept surrender!
"Forget it, there is no other way now. If you are willing to have a fight, then go for it!"
Prince Longbang was helpless. All the envoys had been killed, and there was no way to talk if he wanted to. They had made it clear that they would kill them all first, so it was impossible for him not to resist.
If the king wants his minister to die, he must die. This is what he said to the people below him. When he was the minister below, he would not obey it obediently.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Lin Yilue clasped his fists. Although he could fight without the permission of Prince Longbang, with a formal status, it would always be more convenient within the title kingdom of Longbang.
"I don't trust you, I just have no choice!"
Prince Long Bang glared at Lin Yi angrily and spoke straightforwardly without any concealment.
In fact, he had also heard about Lin Yi's astonishing and almost miraculous record against the Selenium and Tongjun Kingdom, so he had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Perhaps with such a peerless general, it is really possible for the weak to defeat the strong and block the attack of the Shanlian Empire?
As long as you block it, you might have a chance to get back to the negotiating table!
"Your Majesty, I think you should hurry up and study the marriage between Liu Ziyu and the third princess. Don't let those silly friends in Shanlian affect the business!"
Lin Yi was very relaxed and still in the mood to talk nonsense with Prince Longbang.
"Let's not talk about this first. Just tell me how you need my support from the king!"
Prince Long Bang waved his hand impatiently to interrupt Lin Yi's nonsense: "There are 30,000 regular troops defending the border at this time. Facing an army of 300,000, they probably won't be able to hold on for long."
"The number of men and horses that I can mobilize for you at present is only about 100,000. I can mobilize some from various places in the future, but it will take time. Don't worry about logistics. I can ensure that you have enough food and grass."
"in addition……"
Since Prince Long Bang decided to let Lin Yi fight, he didn't hide it and began to list the resources he could use one by one.
There are definitely not many troops!
The 30,000 regular troops on the border are not for defense. They are the borders of the sovereign state. How can they station troops for defense?
The 30,000 regular troops are mostly responsible for protecting the security of several cities in that area, and usually suppressing bandits and the like.
Now they were suddenly faced with the invasion of the 300,000-strong army of the sovereign state. Prince Longbang felt that they did not surrender immediately because the Shanlian Empire did not accept the surrender and wanted to completely destroy the Longbang titled kingdom, right?
"Your Majesty, don't bother, I have soldiers and horses!"
This time it was Lin Yi's turn to interrupt: "To deal with the Shanlian Empire, the king's men only need to be responsible for assisting. If the king sends a reliable general to cooperate with me, we will definitely win this battle!"
Prince Long Bang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sit up straight: "Oh?! Sima Zhongda, you have hidden secret troops? How many people are there? How do you want my people to cooperate with you?"
He was still thinking that Sima Zhongda was indeed a famous general and had secretly made plans!
He, the prince of the Long Kingdom, had not received any news at all!
After the Shanlian Empire's invasion is resolved, we must find a way to recruit Sima Zhongda into his army. It doesn't matter if he is directly named the prince of Hongshang County.
"What secret troops? Your Majesty has misunderstood! I don't have any secret troops. Didn't Liu Ziyu just say that we only have eight hundred people?"
Lin Yi looked at Prince Long Bang in confusion: "Did you forget?"
Prince Longbang's body softened and he leaned slumped on the back of the chair, as if his energy and energy had been drained away.
Go to Uncle Ni’s secret troops!
What a famous general! I’m afraid he’s not a lunatic!
After fighting a few small battles in the countryside, do you feel that you are invincible?
How can the 800-guard battalion fight against the Shanlian Empire? The vanguard alone has 300,000, 300,000!
These are not the trash soldiers of Selenium Copper County, but the elite troops of the Shanlian Empire!
A madman wouldn't do such a crazy thing, right?!
"Sima Zhongda, are you afraid that you want to die so as to appease the anger of the Shanlian Empire?"
Prince Longbang felt that his brain was hurting again, so he could only come up with this explanation.
One thousand versus three hundred thousand, no matter how you look at it, you are going to die!
The problem is that if you die like this, you will only be treated as a joke by the Shanlian Empire. What's the point? It's better to let me tie you up and use it as a bargaining chip in negotiations, and hope that you will be able to gain a little bit more.
"My lord, you think too much!"
I dare say that Prince Longbang thinks too much. Lin Yi is probably the only one in the entire Longbang Titled Kingdom: "There is no suspense in this battle. Our army will win. Your Majesty, you just need to wait and celebrate."
Lin Yi actually doesn't care what Prince Long Bang thinks.
Prince Long Bang felt that he probably had no hope, so he gave up and threw a token to Lin Yi: "You go to the Ministry of War, and the troops of less than 100,000 are mobilized at will. The rest, you can take care of it yourself!"
Eight hundred definitely won't work, but one hundred thousand might be able to save him. Prince Longbang didn't want to talk to Lin Yi anymore and waved his hand to send him away.
After Lin Yi left, Prince Long Bang quickly summoned his trusted generals and assigned them to lead their respective armies to prepare for battle.
Although we can't defeat the Shanlian Empire, necessary resistance is still needed!
You can't really just lead the way and be killed. It would be too undignified to die like that. If you resist and lose, you can at least give yourself an explanation!
Lin Yi ignored the military mobilization of Long Bang Title Kingdom. After leaving the palace, he went to the Ministry of War to report and replenished the 800 Guards Battalion with new equipment.
Compared with the armaments of Longbang Titled Kingdom, Hongshang County's armaments are much inferior. Even the equipment taken from the central cooperative chamber of commerce is far less good than that of Longbang Titled Kingdom.
After getting the equipment, getting the customs clearance documents and marching orders from various places, Lin Yi set off with the 800-guard battalion!
Liu Ziyu went with him. Prince Longbang would not allow Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu to leave the royal capital at the same time, but think about it, the Shanlian Empire has already come to the door, so what's the point of leaving Liu Ziyu as a hostage?
Anyway, there were no eggs left after the nest was overturned, the Longbang Titled Kingdom was destroyed, and Lin Yi and Liu Ziyu could not escape from the hands of the Shanlian Empire, so Prince Longbang also presupposed this matter in the end.
The Longbang Titled Kingdom was rich in supplies. Lin Yi led a battalion of eight hundred guards, all with one man and three horses, riding in turns at a very fast speed.
It only took about ten days to rush to the border of Longbang Titled Kingdom without stopping!
However, within these ten days, all the cities on the border had fallen.
The Shanlian Empire's 300,000-strong army divided up their forces to attack, but they were still overwhelming and killed all 30,000 defenders!
As for the civilians of the Long Kingdom on the border, those who survived were reduced to slaves.
Some were sent back to the areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Shanlian Empire to work, while others were organized into slave legions and used as cannon fodder by the regular troops of the Shanlian Empire.
