Chapter 14: In the City of Anling
Qin-Qi border, in the city of Anling.
The Xuanjia warrior stood solemnly, and the soldiers flickered.
This was originally a border city of the Qi State, but now it has been occupied by the Qin army.
In the government office, there are black-armored generals and several partial generals.
This black-armored general is the main general sent by the Qin Emperor to sit on the border of Qin and Qi, named Dongfang Lin.
The Dongfang family is the family of the Qin State, and since the founding of the Great Qin, it has been guarding the border for the Qin State. And the past dynasties have made great achievements, are loyal, and have always relied on the Qin Emperor.
Originally, Dongfang Lin's mission was only to sit on the border, and the reason why he sent troops to Qi Country was to start from a month ago.
Qin and Chu are enemies of the world, and the conquests are more than one year after another, and now they are sending a large army to attack the southern border of Qin. Therefore, most of the main forces of the Qin State were placed in the south.
But this is not the most important thing, while exploring the reality of the Chu State, the scouts found traces of the contact between Qi and Chu.
In fact, the two countries are not mortal enemies in the first place, and it is normal for them to have contacts with each other. However, when Qin and Chu were about to go to war, the state of Qi had close contacts with the state of Chu, which was not a normal situation.
If Qi and Chu are just ordinary exchanges, they will be fine, but if the two countries join forces, the Qin State will inevitably be in a passive state. When the time comes, it will be difficult to resist the enemy in both realms.
After all, the strength of the three kingdoms is between them, and they maintain a delicate balance on weekdays, and no one can help anyone. If the two countries were united, the original balance would be broken, and the situation would no longer exist at this moment.
After the Qin Emperor learned of the secret report, he immediately sent someone to send an order to Dongfang Lin to strengthen the vigilance of Qi Realm. If Qi Guo really has something strange and has bad intentions, he can cut it first and then deal with it in time.
Dongfang Lin is a general of the Qin State, so naturally there will be no news channels. After he investigated, he soon found signs that Qi was transferring troops to the border, and all this already showed the wolf ambition of Qi State.
Emperor Qin gave Dongfang the right to cut the first and then play, and after thinking about it, he did not want to sit still, but wanted to strike first.
After preparation, Dongfang Lin led the army to raid and took more than a dozen cities in Qi in one go.
Originally, in the news obtained in Dongfanglin, these cities were the places where Qi troops were stationed, and even the grain and grass were stored here. As long as he can break through it, he will make the Qi State unable to advance again.
But Dongfang Lin is still a bad move after all, and these cities are just a trick arranged by Li Ling. Although there was some grain and grass in it, the garrison was very small, and the main force of the Qi army was not seen at all.
It is undeniable that Dongfang Lin broke more than a dozen cities in Qi with the momentum of thunder, and his prestige was greatly enhanced. But he himself knew that this was a useless move at all, and failing to annihilate the main force of the Qi army meant that his goal had been defeated.
And after breaking the city, the real main force of the Qi army quickly stabilized the situation and successfully built a defensive line, not giving Dongfang Lin a chance. The situation is now deadlocked.
If this is the case, it is not a big problem. But Dongfang Lin knew that a real storm was coming.
He rashly sent troops to Qi Realm, and it was impossible for Emperor Qi to be unresponsive. Not to mention that they were originally plotting against each other, even if they had no other ideas, they would definitely send troops to fight back at this moment.
Moreover, after causing the anger of the Qi people, the people's will is available, and it is even more difficult for their own side to support it. When the time comes, Li Ling will lead the troops, and the army will be mighty, how should Dongfang Lin resist?
I wanted to strike first, but I was countered by others, which is really unwilling. However, Dongfang Lin has no suitable way to deal with it, so he can only have a headache in Anling City.
In Dongfang Lin's hands, there are 100,000 Xuanjia troops of the Qin State.
According to the national strength of the Qin State, a million army is not a problem. But the problem is that the Qin State has a vast territory, bordering the Qi State in the east, the Chu State in the south, and the two places in the northwest are all infested by foreign races.
It is because all borders need to be heavily guarded, and the western and northern borders are guarded against foreign races, and soldiers and horses cannot be easily mobilized. The situation in Chu is even more troublesome, and it is really annoying to send troops to attack if there is nothing to do.
Moreover, this time, the state of Chu sent troops and put on a posture of fighting to the death, and dispatched 500,000 troops. This also includes several generals, as well as Qu Li, one of the three gods of war.
In order to deal with it, Emperor Qin could only mobilize 300,000 soldiers and horses from everywhere, and sent Wu Yi, the god of war, out. Relying on the advantage of the home field on the border, the two sides formed a balance of power, and now the biggest change is in the east.
After discovering the changes in the Qi Kingdom, Dongfang Lin had already sent someone to send the news back. There is no doubt that after the Qin Emperor learned the news, he would definitely mobilize a large army to come to support.
In fact, the Qin State was prepared to deal with emergencies, but the Chu State attacked first and had already pulled all this force in the south. If you want to support Dongfang Lin, you can only send it from other places.
Dongfang Lin understands these things, but Qi Guo will definitely not give him these time. I'm afraid that now, Li Ling is already on the way here, and it is really difficult to open up the situation.
Dongfang Lin is sitting in the eastern realm, so he naturally knows how powerful Li Ling is, and there is no simple character who can be called the god of war. Not only must you have excellent strength, but you must also be good at the art of war.
Li Ling is such a figure, for many years in the southern and northern wars, except for being deflated in the hands of Wu Yi, he has not been defeated. Even if it is the state of Chu Quping, it can only be equal to it.
But now without Wu Yi, who can control this Li Ling?
Yourself?
Dongfang Lin didn't have much confidence, but his attitude was very resolute.
Even if he really dies here, he must guard the border of Qin, which is the belief that the Dongfang family has passed down from generation to generation. If you lose your land to the Qi State, you will not only be ashamed of the Qin Emperor, but also the ancestors of the Dongfang Clan.
When Dongfang Lin was discussing with the generals, a secret letter was suddenly sent by a personal guard. His expression was slightly condensed, so he opened it to check, and then he was helpless in his heart, what he was worried about finally came.
Dongfang Lin looked around and said loudly: "The news just came that Li Ling of Qi State has already led troops to enter Juyang City, and I am afraid that it will not take a few days before the troops will be officially mobilized."
After learning the news, the general's face was also tense, but they quickly returned to normal, and said solemnly to Dongfang: "The Qi State wants to offend my Great Qin, and his subordinates are willing to go to war with the general."
Although Dongfang Lin is the first to make the move, everyone knows what the purpose of Qi is. If Li Ling is really allowed to break through the realm, even if the Qin State is not destroyed, he will definitely have to pay a great price.
Everyone is a general of the Qin State, not to mention any collective sense of honor, their own interests are closely related to the rise and fall of the Qin State. Now that there is no way to retreat, there is only one way to catch up.
Dongfang Lin nodded slightly, although he was under a lot of pressure now, but seeing the morale of the people, he eased up a little.
The tone was a little dull, and Dongfang Lin said solemnly: "The general has already sent someone to send a message to Your Majesty, and reinforcements will definitely arrive soon." We must not retreat from this battle, and we will fight to the death with you. ”
After showing his intentions, Dongfang Lin did not dwell on this, he said aloud to everyone: "The main force of the enemy army is stationed in Juyang, only a hundred miles away from Anling, and it will not take a few hours if you march in a hurry."
"Li Ling is good at surprise soldiers, he will definitely not rush into Anling, but may invade the surrounding cities, we must be prepared." Dongfang Lin thought back to the information about Li Ling and said in a deep voice.
The generals said yes.
