"That's an army of half a million, an army of half a million!"
He was so anxious that his beard stood on end.
Doesn't this cost his life?
Now the entire Qinghe Town, including Xiao Qian's 50,000-strong army, is only 150,000 even if fully calculated! This also includes other miscellaneous personnel!
One hundred and fifty thousand...
Right half a million!
How to fight this?
How to fight?
Isn’t this a suicide attempt? Isn’t this a gift of loyalty to the Qing Dynasty to these Japanese people?
But.
He also knew Li Zhen's concerns. The current Li Dynasty was really too empty. This was the first. The second reason was that he had no evidence or intelligence of the Japanese army rushing to help.
Thinking of this, Li Zhenzhu's heart felt desolate.
It’s useless! I’m still too useless!
The intelligence system he worked so hard to establish in Gyeongsang Province was completely destroyed by the Japanese army.
Now......
He was completely blind to the information about all places in Gyeongsang Province.
"Has it been rejected...?"
Li Zhenzhu quickly conveyed the news to Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian nodded and stood up suddenly: "Give up Qinghe Town!"
"What?"
"General Xiao, you must not do this!"
"General Xiao..."
A group of generals from the Li Dynasty knelt down one after another and tried their best to persuade them, especially Li Zhenzhu, who was in tears: "General Xiao, no matter what, we can't retreat anymore, we can't retreat anymore! If we retreat again, the whole Li Dynasty will be in trouble." It’s all over!”
Others were also wiping tears.
As a soldier, who doesn’t have feelings for his family and country? Who doesn’t want to protect his family and country?
Gyeongsang-do is gone.
They must not lose Chungcheong Province! They must not let the Japanese army enter Chungcheong Province, otherwise the entire Chungcheong Province will be devastated, and it will directly threaten Gyeonggi Province! Gyeonggi Province is where the capital is!
Xiao Qian smiled coldly: "Your country is unwilling to send reinforcements, so what can I do? General Li, even if the Japanese army mobilizes 100,000 troops to occupy the various cities and checkpoints and fortresses in Gyeongsang Province, we are still no match for them. !150,000, even if compared to the Japanese army’s 150,000, it’s quite a struggle, considering the combat effectiveness of your army..."
These words made Li Zhenzhu and others look ashamed.
"If you don't give up, what can you do?"
Xiao Qian is a qualified general, and he will not let his brothers die in vain.
What's more.
He now knows that Li Chao's attitude towards Liu Shilang is not very good now.
"General Xiao..."
"You must not..."
"General Xiao, I will send another letter asking for help, and I will try harder! Never give up on Qinghe Town!"
Li Zhenzhu was so anxious that he kowtowed to the ground frequently.
"General Xiao, let's guard first..."
"If the Japanese army really comes, it won't be too late for us to give up!"
"yes......"
These people in the Li Dynasty knew that once Long Yan's army left, they would really let the Japanese army ravage them.
no.
Absolutely not!
Xiao Qian smiled coldly: "The intrigues in your country really chill Xiao..."
He glanced at Li Zhenzhu, who was in tears, and finally sighed: "But General Li's patriotism made Xiao admire him endlessly."
He looked at the soldiers of the Li Dynasty who were busy outside and couldn't help but said: "It's not that the Li Dynasty has no fighting power, it's that it doesn't have a single mind."
"That's all..."
"General Li urges you again. If Japanese reinforcements attack, no reinforcements will arrive..."
"Then, we have only one way to withdraw our troops!"
Xiao Qian said calmly.
Li Zhenzhu was overjoyed.
This old general of the Li Dynasty has aged more than ten years in these days. When he stood up, his whole body was shaky.
Xiao Qian started to speak but stopped.
In the end, nothing was said.
Outside.
By this time, dark clouds were already over the city.
