Chapter 71: Conquering 8 Cities in Yanyun in Half a Month

Linjiang City.

Yu Shouren jumped onto his horse, riding the warhorse, his whole body filled with spiritual energy.

"All males in Linjiang City, please gather at the square!"

His voice spread far and wide.

"The Wei Dynasty's army is approaching. It is said that our Linjiang City cannot hold out for more than three days."

"If the Emperor doesn't send us support, we will become captives of the Wei Dynasty."

"General Yu has called everyone together. It must be something urgent. Let's gather quickly."

As Yu Shouren's voice spread, every household in Linjiang City, male members from their seventies and eighties to their twelve or thirteen years old, all headed for the square.

This is enough to show that Yu Shouren has a high prestige in Linjiang City.

Nearly ten thousand people gathered in the huge martial arts square.

This is Linjiang City, the only number of men left today.

The vast majority of people chose to flee Linjiang City a few days ago when they learned that the Wei Dynasty’s army was approaching.

"Everyone, you don't want to become prisoners of the Wei Dynasty, right?"

Yu Shouren said loudly.

The sound resounded throughout the scene.

"Do not want to."

Everyone spoke in unison, their expressions determined.

"The imperial court's reinforcements will arrive at Linjiang City soon. We just need to do everything we can to hold on and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then we can defeat the 100,000-strong army of the Wei Dynasty."

Yu Shouren knew very well that after a day of fighting, the 8,000 soldiers defending the city suffered heavy losses.

If the trend continues, it can only last for three days at most.

Linjiang City will be conquered by the Wei Dynasty.

There are nearly 10,000 men in Linjiang City. If they can join the battle, they just need to walk up to the city wall, even if they hold stones and smash them down the wall. Ten thousand stones can kill a lot of Wei soldiers.

Under the current circumstances, the only way to defend Linjiang City is to mobilize all available forces.

If it were in the past, under the current circumstances, he would lead 8,000 defenders and die on the battlefield.

We will never mobilize the people to go to the battlefield.

the reason is simple.

He knew the war was doomed to fail.

Civilians have no obligation to go to the battlefield, they just need to stay alive.

can.

Ever since King Zhenguo Ye Feng came to the Song Dynasty, a series of changes have made Yu Shouren see the hope of the Song Dynasty's revival, and he wants to take a gamble.

I bet Ye Feng would definitely think of a way to send reinforcement troops to Linjiang City for support.

"General Yu, what do you need us to do?"

Someone heard Yu Shouren's words and immediately responded.

"Everyone, no matter what, we must defend Linjiang City." Yu Shouren's powerful voice sounded, his eyes were firm, and he said: "From now on, every 500 men will form a team and follow me to rush to the top of the Linjiang City wall to resist the Great Wei Dynasty soldiers who climbed up the wall."

"Let the elderly, weak, women and children in the family be responsible for transporting all the stones or heavy objects in Linjiang City to the bottom of the city wall."

"Don't keep any of the bedding from every household. Donate all of it and send it to the city wall. When the war is won, I will personally report to the court and allocate silver to compensate everyone."

……

Despite the presence of an army of 100,000 outside the city, Linjiang City was in imminent danger.

Yu Shouren still arranged everything in an orderly manner.

There was no sign of panic in his expression.

"General Yu, how many reinforcements did the court send?"

Just after many people left, Yuan Lin hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"I do not know either."

Yu Shouren said to Yuan Lin.

Yuan Lin understood very well that there was no such thing as reinforcements. It was just a lie made up by Yu Shouren to keep everyone hoping to fight.

"Yuan Lin, pass the order down. The archers must not waste a single arrow. As long as the Wei Dynasty does not attack the city, they should not take the initiative to attack. Our mission is to defend the city."

Yu Shouren gave orders to Yuan Lin.

"As ordered!"

Yuan Lin bowed and retreated.

……

"Ouyang Lun, why did you order the siege to stop?"

Dozens of miles outside Linjiang City.

The central military camp of the Wei Dynasty.

A middle-aged man in armor, with a powerful aura and an angry face, rushed into the tent and stared at Ouyang Lun who was sitting right in front of him.

He is the general Zhang Tai who is in charge of leading the troops this time, and Ouyang Lun was appointed as the marshal at a young age, thinking that he is Ouyang Ming's only son.

Zhang Tai was too lazy to compete with Ouyang Lun for fame and fortune, he just wanted to capture Linjiang City as soon as possible.

No idea.

Although the siege was in full swing, Ouyang Lun ordered to stop.

Isn't this a chance for the Song Dynasty to catch its breath?

Knowing that there were only a few thousand defenders in Linjiang City, why didn't they seize every minute and attack the city as quickly as possible? Did they have to wait for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive?

"General Zhang, please be patient and don't be anxious." Ouyang Lun leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, and said, "There are thousands of defenders in Linjiang City. If we want to seize it, it will be easy. There is no need to rush."

"You...what do you know? The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. You will be responsible if you miss the opportunity to fight!" Zhang Tai roared at the top of his lungs with a ferocious look on his face.

When Ouyang Lun heard Zhang Tai's accusation, he knew very well in his heart that this attack on Linjiang City was an opportunity for him to gain credit. Zhang Tai captured Linjiang City so quickly, how could he, Ouyang Lun, gain credit?

Therefore, he ordered to stop the siege.

"General Zhang, please don't challenge me again and again. You should know that I am the marshal appointed by His Majesty to command the three armies."

Ouyang Lun was pointed at and scolded by Zhang Tai, but he was not willing to be outdone and threatened Zhang Tai.

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Tai was appointed general. When he learned that Ouyang Lun was the marshal, he was already extremely depressed. He did not expect that Ouyang Lun would use his identity to threaten him at this moment.

He laughed loudly, threw the tent high into the air, and left in anger.

……

"Reporting to the Lord of the State,"

"Linjiang City has sent an urgent report that the Great Wei Dynasty's army of 100,000 is approaching. With Linjiang City's 8,000 defenders, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for three days. We request support."

Li Limpu sat there, an old voice sounded, his face gloomy.

Thinking of the deaths of Zhou Wensheng and others.

He was filled with anger inside.

Even he didn't expect that Ye Feng would be so ruthless.

Not a single one was left alive, and the blood formed a small stream.

Almost all those who participated were killed by the reserve army led by Cai Hong.

The smell of blood filled the air and did not dissipate for a long time.

After Ye Feng's brutal killing, it would become very difficult for them to find someone to help them carry out assassination missions in the future.

Ye Feng charged Zhou Wensheng and others with the crime of "gathering a crowd to rebel", and they had no reason to refute it.

The Wei Dynasty's army of 100,000 is coming with great force.

Li Linpu wanted to see how Ye Feng would deal with an army of 100,000 since the army controlled by the Song Dynasty was less than 100,000 strong!

"Since the Wei Dynasty is so ungrateful, I have decided to go into battle myself." Ye Feng looked indifferent and spoke calmly, as if the 100,000-strong army of the Wei Dynasty was nothing to him and was just a trivial matter. He said, "It will only take half a month for me to lead Madam Xinling's 8,000 cavalry to not only repel the 100,000-strong army of the Wei Dynasty, but also recapture the 18 cities of Yanyun."
