If the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty is like a god general with golden light shining on the world, the Kaifeng Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty is like a short and fat God of Wealth wearing gold and silver, and Longyuan City is like a forbearance maniac with a knife.

The prototype of this city is the ancient snail city, but the scale of the formation is because the Tang Dynasty wants to build an Annan capital here, and the original role of the city is to resist foreign enemies, which is extremely strong.

Even though it has been expanded many times later, and gradually a single defensive city has developed into a prosperous city, its core is still to defend against foreign enemies!

The defense of the inner city was lax, but after the outer city was broken, the defenders poured into the inner city, and there were people everywhere, and there were no loopholes in the defense!

Everyone waited with bated breath for the final general attack of the Mongols, including Li Lin'an, the chief of the court halberd.

Although Chen Shoudu ordered all Li surnames to be changed to Ruan, and even Li Wenxiong, who was born in the Li Dynasty, was renamed Nguyen Wenxiong, Li Linan was still called Li Linan.

There is no other reason, just because he is the chief of guard of Li Zhaohuang, the queen of the Li Dynasty, and one of the many personal guards who were selected from the Li royal family and trained to protect Li Zhaohuang since childhood.

Of course, after so many changes, those guards have long since died, and he has become the only one left, and he is still serving as the chief halberd in the court.

Ruan Van Hung changed his name, there were no political reasons in it, Li Lin'an's identity and status were extremely sensitive, but when those officials came to Li Lin'an with their household registration book, he just looked at him and scared those officials away.

Until this time, this matter was still circulating in the court, and I heard that Li Linan said something at that time.

"You want me to change my surname and let Chen Shoudu speak for himself. ”

As a result, Chen Shoudu naturally did not go to him, although this matter was over, but he became an outlier, a respectable outlier!

His father said that he originally wanted to call him Li Lin'an, hoping that one day, he would be able to leave this place and go to Lin'an to have a look, this world is too big, don't nest in Longyuan City, be the frog at the bottom of the well.

It was only later that Annan's relationship with the Great Song Dynasty deteriorated, and when he was still young, his father changed his name to Li Lin'an.

As for ordinary people, they don't know this inside story at all, because not everyone knows how to write Chinese characters, and they can't tell whether it is Li Lin'an or Li Lin'an in terms of pronunciation.

Li Lin'an also wanted to take a look at Lin'an, in fact, since Li Zhaohuang married Chen, he had the heart to leave here.

It's a pity that Chen Shoudu has been eyeing the Li Dynasty, and finally took the Li Dynasty's country, as a halberd chief, he can only protect Li Zhaohuang wholeheartedly.

His Li Dynasty has become a thing of the past, and even the surname Li has almost been deprived, he looked back, and suddenly appeared full of soldiers, but it was no longer the imperial city of the past, and the more people around, the more lonely he became.

He guarded this imperial city, which was supposed to be the imperial city of the Li Dynasty, but now it has become the imperial city of the Chen Dynasty, should he still hold on to it?

No one could answer him, and the question fermented in his heart until a boulder fell from the sky and pulled him back from his contemplation!

"They're attacking!"

The crowd suddenly panicked, the soldiers raised the rattan cards, and the palace guards raised the heavy iron-wood covered brass shield, the boulder fell down, and easily smashed three or two people into a pool of blood, the stump and severed feet, the flesh and fragments flew everywhere, and the boulder also bounced a few times, rolled away, and crushed a wide blood path!

The same boulders began to fly from outside the city, and the drums and shouts of the Mongols seemed to be like thunder between heaven and earth, making people's souls tremble!

Some people wailed, some screamed, some fled, some hid, some people were at a loss, standing in place, there were too many such scenes, which made Li Changan think that everything in front of him was just a dream!

However, reality tells him that everything is true!

The Mongols took local materials and filled huge rattan balls with rotten cloth soaked in tung oil, which were wrapped in oil jars, and the fireballs shot into the city, and the jars exploded, and there was a sea of fire everywhere!

In this purgatory of blood and fire, the Mongol Badulu smashed open the city gate and killed him!

None of the people around reacted, Li Linan had already dragged his knife forward!

Although he is the chief of the halberd, his blades are two heavy long knives, which are extremely rare in Annam, and they are ancient knives in the style of two Tang knives!

Straight and hard, the six-foot-long sword blade, the eight characters were separated, dragged on both sides, and when everyone was fleeing, Li Lin'an was alone, went upstream, and rushed towards the Mongols' Badulu!

Just like the arrangement of fate, it should be something he guards, and he needs to protect it after all!

"Ding!"

The long knife cut off the enemy's blade, erasing the enemy's head with a handle, and the head flew high, and after a few breaths, the blood column spurted out, but the enemy's headless corpse was still running forward!

Li Linan was soon drowned in the crowd, and there was no sword or sword shadow in his eyes, as if he could see through these enemies and see their hearts.

The blood-red beating heart is like a candle flame, and there is only one thing he has to do, and that is to extinguish this dense ball of candle flames one by one!

Blood continued to splash down his face, as if there was an endless pool of blood above his head, pouring hot blood on him without stopping.

His hands and feet had begun to stiffen and sore, he felt that every drop of his strength had been squeezed out, and he gradually lost feeling his body, only a fiery heart, still beating unwillingly.

He didn't want to see Lin'an, and he no longer wanted to protect Emperor Li Zhao, he just wanted to continue to have the surname Li, and not change his name again because of the arrival of the Mongols or the Song people!

He didn't care who the owner of the city was, he just wanted to be able to stand in front of the gates, drag his two swords, and if anyone wanted to pass, he would step on his corpse!

It's a pity that his body is only the size of a man after all, and more and more Mongols rush past him, he is like a tenacious reef, which can only block the waves in front of him, but cannot stop the big waves around him!

In this state, time becomes completely unbounded, I don't know whether it is long or short, as if I am trapped in a river for a certain period of time, going back and forth, dizzy.

His ears gradually lost hearing and his eyes gradually became unable to see things, and his hands, feet, and body were just mechanically blocking, then swinging the knife, blocking, and swinging the knife again!

Only the hot blood on his face, only the occasional sharp pain, proved that his life still existed!

There is never a shortage of heroes in this world, no matter in troubled times or prosperous times, no matter how evil a nation is, or a good nation, heroes are heroes, there are no borders, only perseverance!

"Li Lin'an! Hurry up and report the news!"

He vaguely heard such a voice, he knew that this was an order, this was the nature of a soldier, and only an order could wake him up and pull him back to reality!

When the vision in front of him recovered, he realized that he had already killed through the enemy's formation, and no one around him could follow him!

When he turned his head to look, he tried to find the person who gave the order, but the voice was like a leaf in the madness of the angry sea, and the owner of the voice was drowned out!

Li Lin'an's soul was trapped in this imperial city, how could he leave?

He subconsciously wanted to turn around and kill back, but just after stepping his legs, he crossed the dense back of the enemy and saw that the guards at the city gate were desperately resisting!

He didn't want to surrender to the Song people, just as he didn't want to surrender to the Mongols, but if he didn't ask for help, the city would be slaughtered!

He had heard a lot about the Mongol massacre of the city, the soldiers and civilians of the Chen Dynasty resisted to the death, and Kublai Khan had already been provoked.

He is not Chen Shoudu, he can't take into account political factors, and he can't deduce that if Kublai Khan slaughtered the city and wanted the Annam people to attack the Great Song Dynasty, it would become unlikely.

Maybe he didn't want everyone else to see far, knowing that Kublai Khan only wanted the road of Annan, they just wanted to pass through Annan and use Annan as a springboard to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and they didn't need to use the Annan people to fight at all, and the slaughter of the city would be the slaughter of the city.

In any case, at this juncture, in order to protect the city he wanted to protect, he could only give up this city for the time being!

To use an inappropriate analogy, that is, he wants to save a woman's life, but he can only temporarily let the enemy humiliate this woman, which is a compromise, a shame, but also a helpless thing.

This kind of thing is the most infuriating, but it has to be done.

Li Linan had no extra choice, because he was the only one who had penetrated the enemy's formation, and he could only be pushed by the big hand of fate, constantly breaking forward and running forward!

He didn't know how long he had been running, but he finally left Longyuan City, and when he escaped from the ruins of the gap in the outer wall, the fighting behind him gradually became quieter, and he even saw signs of retreat from the Mongols.

Maybe the Imperial City has repelled this wave of onslaught, or maybe they can still hold out until they move in reinforcements!

Thinking of this, Li Linan finally gritted his teeth, supported his broken and weak body, and rushed to the north!

I don't know how long he ran, he felt that his legs and feet no longer belonged to him, and he felt that his soul was about to go out of his body, so he collapsed.

His head and face were covered with blood, stained with mud and dust, and his face was confused, like a zombie crawling out of a pile of dead people.

But he's still breathing, he's not giving up!

He tried to stay awake, tried to keep his eyes open, looking at the end of the road ahead, supported by his two knives, but he couldn't stand up, the head was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and his ass was pouted, but he couldn't carry the head!

Just like the fight of the right talent, he has thought about giving up countless times, thinking about a hundred, and if he dies cleanly, he doesn't have to work so hard to support it.

But as if he wanted to give up countless times but finally persevered, this time, he persevered again!

Because his ears are close to the ground, he hears the heartbeat of the earth!

No, it wasn't the pulse of the earth, it was the sound of horses' hooves!

Although Ruan Wenxiong also took away a lot of war horses, Li Linan could hear from the sound of the horse's hooves, which was heavier and slower than the sound of the horse's hooves!

He tilted his head with difficulty, and looked ahead with his peripheral vision, his posture was very awkward, but he finally saw it.

There's a behemoth that blocks his sunlight.

Above this huge shadow, there is even a figure, a figure like a god descending to earth!

"Am I going to die? Is this a hallucination before death?" Li Lin'an thought, and the shadow in front of him gradually became clear, but it was a young man with a gray head.
