Chen Weiwei wiped the sweat from his face, looked at the rebels gradually retreating outside, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The rebels had been besieging this small city for twenty days and had attacked the city wall several times. It was Chen Weiwei who led his disciples from Shangyang Beizong back and forth to support them, thus ensuring that the city wall was not lost.
It was also because those rebels were not good at fighting. Sometimes, they had already charged forward, but were killed by Chen Weiwei's men for a while, and they immediately retreated.
As for Keya's 1,800-strong bodyguard, more than half of it had been lost at this time, and almost all of the rest were injured.
At this moment, Chen Weiwei looked back and saw that all the people guarding the city were exhausted.
The rebels are not good at fighting, but the defenders are not much stronger either.
Although the guards were considered to be the elite of Maolin, Maolin had never fought in a war for so many years. Many times, they could have avoided damage, but ended up ruining things because of their recklessness.
In such a small country, Chen Weiwei already regretted it. If he lost his wealth and life here, it would be really worthless.
Most of the lofty ideals and ambitions I had twenty days ago were wasted away now.
I just hope that by this time Lin Ye will have received the news and that elite soldiers and generals with Dayu are on their way.
Cui Fuye walked to Chen Weiwei, looked around and said, "It's been twenty days and no reinforcements have come. This is a bit strange."
Chen Weiwei said: "The person who conspired against him is an important minister of Maolin. Maybe he has already colluded with the troops at the border."
Cui Fanye shook his head: "That's not the case. I guess they transferred the border soldiers and horses in advance. The people sent by King Keya to ask for help didn't find anyone at all."
Chen Weiwei asked: "Why do you conclude, Sir, that the defenders at the border will not be bribed?"
Cui Fanye said: "How can a greedy person be kind to the soldiers far away at the border? They may also deduct military supplies, so how can they suddenly go to bribe them? How can they have time?"
Chen slightly hummed: "Sir, do you think this battle can still be fought?"
With just this sentence, Cui Fanye could hear the sway in Chen Weiwei's heart.
So Cui Fuye also sighed in his heart. If Chen Weiwei had always been firm, he still thought that Chen Weiwei was a person. If he decided to follow this person in the future, he would not be able to achieve any great achievements.
Now, he can only do as much as he can, after all, he can't give up just yet.
"Fight or fight."
Cui Fuye said: "If nothing happens, Lin Ye's troops will be here soon."
He lowered his voice and said: "If you want to make great achievements, the sect leader needs to be a little more brave."
"Um?"
Chen Weiwei was a little confused.
He asked Cui Fanye: "In this situation, it is very difficult to defend this city. How can we be more brave? Is it possible to fight out?"
Cui Fuye nodded: "Just fight out. When Lin Ye's soldiers and horses are about to arrive, the sect leader will lead a charge forward. If Lin Ye sees it, he will definitely praise the sect leader greatly, and the battle report will be sent to Yu
In front of the Emperor."
Chen frowned slightly: "There are tens of thousands of thieves outside. Even if they are a mob, if I only lead these hundred or ten people to kill them, what effect can they have?"
Cui Fanye wanted to explain carefully, but now he was a little disappointed and didn't bother to explain.
"It all depends on the sect master's decision. I'm just giving you a suggestion."
Chen hummed slightly.
He looked outside the city again, thinking that if he rushed out like this, even if he was not weak now and was entangled by thousands of soldiers and horses, he would not be able to escape death.
About a few dozen feet away from them, King Keya was helping to bandage the injured.
The middle-aged man pulled her, walked to one side and whispered: "I saw the two envoys from Jade. They have been whispering a lot in the past two days. I am afraid they are about to leave. If they retreat, the morale of the army will be damaged."
, the king must listen to me when the time comes, I will take you away."
Keya looked at the wounded soldiers and shook his head: "My people are fighting for me. If I leave, what will they do? If the envoy of the beauty leaves, if I leave again, the city of Kolia will definitely die.
If it is captured by the rebels, all the people in this city will be killed by them."
The middle-aged man insisted: "This time, you must listen to me."
Keya still shook her head: "This is my own choice. If I can't let the people of Maolin live a good life, and make Maolin fall into the flames of war, then I should be the first to die in battle, not the first to turn around and escape.
"
How could the middle-aged man not know Keya's temperament? He didn't say anything more and just nodded.
"gentlemen."
Keya said: "I know what you are thinking. When it comes to danger, you will rush out with me, but you can't."
"Sir taught me that the king and his subjects are father and son. I am the king and my father, and the people are my ministers and my son. When encountering a big disaster, I am the king and my father. I should stand in front of my ministers."
The middle-aged man didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, these things were indeed taught by him.
"Twenty days."
Keya said: "The reinforcements at the border are supposed to arrive within five days, but they haven't arrived yet. Obviously something serious has happened at the border. Sir...you come for me."
Before she finished speaking, the middle-aged man shook his head: "I won't go."
Keya still wanted to persuade him, wanting him to go and see what was going on at the border, but how could she possibly convince him.
"I stay here because I am selfish."
The middle-aged man said: "It's just because of you, not because of the people of Maolin."
As soon as these words came out, Keya's face immediately turned red. She lowered her head subconsciously, not daring to look at the middle-aged man.
In the past, she was always more enthusiastic and he was evasive.
This was the first time that he expressed his emotions so directly, but Keya panicked, because this was obviously what she wanted most.
"gentlemen......"
"You are my disciple, I cannot abandon you."
"oh......"
Keya felt a little disappointed, and the passionate emotion that had just been ignited cooled down again because of the words "you are my disciple."
At the same time, outside the border.
Qihe Manruo stood on the high slope and looked south, his face full of doubts.
He felt something was wrong. It shouldn't be like this, because logically, Lin Ye should have arrived a long time ago. Why haven't he seen any soldiers from the Jade Kingdom yet?
He knew that the envoys from the Jade Kingdom in Coria City would urgently send people back to Fengkou to ask for help from Lin Ye.
It would take at most seven or eight days to get to the border from the wind outlet. If Lin Ye was fast enough, he could arrive in five days with a light cavalry charge.
Counting the days, the people asking for help ran for seven or eight days. After Lin Ye got the news, he spent one day arranging his military equipment. If he was on the road in five or six days, he should have arrived long ago.
In Qihe Manruobu's game, the ultimate goal is to stop Lin Ye.
Once this situation is over, Lin Ye will definitely come to the rescue, regardless of whether to save Mao Lin or not. With the pride of beautiful women, they will not give up on the envoys they sent.
Therefore, before Qihe Manruo entered Maolin, he had already given orders to his men, and all the 150,000 men and horses who had just arrived at the southern Xinjiang camp from Jinting were transferred.
These 150,000 people had set up a huge pocket array outside the southern border of Maolin, just waiting for Lin Ye to rush in.
When Qihe Manruo left Jinting City, he had made a strategy to avoid fighting if he could.
But nothing on the battlefield is fixed. If you plan well this time, no matter how many jade soldiers are killed in an ambush, as long as you win, the news will be sent back to Jinting, the emperor will be happy, the civil and military officials of the court will be happy, and the people will be happy.
They will be happy.
At that time, all the previous decadence was gone, and Lin Ye's revenge for killing a hundred thousand elite soldiers in southern Xinjiang was more or less avenged.
If Lin Ye can be killed in this ambush, it will be a great victory.
Getting rid of someone like Lin Ye, who will be the mainstay of Dayu's military in the next few decades, is more worthy of celebration than the destruction of the Jade Kingdom's 100,000-strong army... no, the destruction of the Jade Kingdom's 500,000-strong army.
This big pit was carefully dug by Qihe Manruo for Lin Ye.
Maolin is nothing, it's just a small place, not worth caring about at all.
"General."
At this moment, a capable general under Qihe Manruo came forward, bowed and saluted, and said: "There is a military report from the rear."
Qihe Manruo said: "Say."
The general named Sasse said loudly: "The Tarres sent news. They listened to the general's dispatch and have already invaded from the southeast of Maolin. It is expected that they will reach the place called Kolya in seven days at most.
small town.”
Qihe Manruo nodded.
All the border troops in the southeastern area of Maolin were deceived by him to go to the capital of Maolin. Although the army of the Lieguo Kingdom was not very good at fighting, if they could not quickly invade Maolin, then they were really a bunch of losers.
.
But if Qihe Manruo doesn't care about this, even if Maolin is destroyed, and this is still a war between small countries, no one will think that Lou Fan is controlling it, but for Qihe Manruo, it is a big strategy to get a small profit.
, totally not worth being happy about.
Things have progressed to this point. If Lin Ye cannot be dragged into this big pit, he will be extremely disappointed.
"Send the order and send more scouts to explore south, as far away as possible. If you find any movement of the Jade Army, report back immediately."
"yes!"
Sasse responded and quickly dispatched manpower.
In the past few days, the general has been continuously sending more scouts to the south. Five or six hundred people have been sent out one after another.
Now that we need to send more troops, Sasse feels that it is really unnecessary. If the Jade Army really comes, how can we not see it?
He wanted to persuade the general not to wait any longer. The beauty would not take the risk of coming to the rescue just for a mere lush forest.
But he didn't dare. The general's eyes were a bit scary.
Qihe Manruo took a few deep breaths to calm down.
Lin Ye is a very strong opponent, and it is impossible for everything to go according to his expectations.
If Lin Ye could be defeated so easily, then how could the generals of the Yelu family lose so miserably.
Thinking of this, Qihe Manruo felt a little nervous.
The old general Yelv Ling is the God of War of Lou Fan. He has gone through hundreds of battles, large and small. Could it be that he is weaker than him?
Yeluming Lou has been training troops in southern Xinjiang for many years. Could it be that he is far worse than himself?
Yelu Mingjing's ability to take orders in the face of danger is enough to show his strength, but he was also beaten by Lin Ye and was unable to fight back.
The more he calmed down, the more Qihe Manruo felt that although his previous layout seemed perfect, there must be some omissions.
It is impossible for Lin Ye not to come. The beauty wants to establish her authority in the north. If she retreats at this time, those small countries will also retreat.
Emperor Jade is so ambitious that he will not let Lin Ye ruin the situation in the north in vain.
"No, there must be something wrong."
Qihe Manruo muttered to himself.
Judging from the information he has learned so far, Lin Ye obviously doesn't follow the routine when using his troops. He is not the kind of serious general who leads troops, and he always makes strange moves.
This man could go to the Southern Xinjiang camp alone and forcibly abduct Yeluling and his son. What else would he not dare to do?
Lin Ye, who should have appeared directly in front of him, was not in front of him...
At this thought, Qihe Manruo's heart tightened again, and a vague shuddering feeling appeared.
"Here comes someone."
Qihe Manruo turned around and ordered: "Send someone to Dalie Country immediately to investigate. Be sure to hurry."
As soon as he finished his instructions, he saw several cavalrymen galloping towards them in the distance, obviously extremely anxious.
"Report!"
The cavalryman at the front shouted loudly before he could get close: "The rear army reported that the Jade Army entered Talie and appeared from behind the Talie Army. All 30,000 troops of the Talie Kingdom have been wiped out by the Jade Army!"
Hearing this, Qihe Manruo felt a sudden pain in his heart.
