"Head, what do you mean by head? We've been here for a long time, when will the reinforcements arrive? ”

"Yes, we're running out of food, grass and weapons, and if we don't have support, we won't be able to last long."

"Boss, what should I do? Shall we retreat? Liancheng couldn't hold it. ”

"What should we do if we retreat the common people?"

Wang Qingyan stood on the city wall, and the soldiers around him were all injured and talked nonsense.

It's not that Wang Qingyan has been promoted again, but now the senior generals have long been transferred, and people at the same level as Wang Qingyan don't have the ability to make decisions, so now Liancheng is gradually headed by Wang Qingyan, but now he is only a commander according to his military rank.

"How long can the grain and grass last?"

Wang Qingyan and the others had just repelled an attack by the Qi army, and everyone had just breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"For five days at most, we have never replied to the letter of help we sent to the general, and the spies have reported that other places are different from us, and they have supplies."

"So Liancheng was abandoned? What about us? What to do? ”

Some people's faces changed in an instant, and Wang Qingyan's eyes flashed a hint of darkness.

"I really don't know what this battle is about, it's better to go to war with foreign tribes, the dead and wounded are our brothers."

The others didn't speak, yes, they were all from the Kowloon Empire, and now the war was just for the princes to fight for power, and there was no point.

If it is a veteran, naturally they will not have such thoughts, they only know to obey orders.

But Liancheng and these are almost all recruits, and they were sent out to fight not long after enlisting in the army, and they don't have much sense of belonging to the army, so it is inevitable that this kind of thinking will arise.

Wang Qingyan naturally had it in his heart, but he was more worried that once this idea spread, a large number of deserters would be generated.

At that time, the situation in Liancheng will become more and more dangerous, and they will really have no way to survive at all.

"Boss, what now?" Everyone looked at Wang Qingyan and waited for him to make a decision.

"Evacuate the people in the city first, remember, you can't miss the news, and then we count the supplies and retreat too."

"Really?" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, but soon their faces changed.

They are considered deserters in this way, and they will not listen to what they say that there are no supplies and no reinforcements, but they will only put all the blame on their heads.

"Who said we were going to be deserters? We just held on without success, and the remaining remnants of the army retreated tactically.

Besides, we don't even have a general in charge above us, and the biggest position is also the commander, so it's okay to stick to it. ”

Wang Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone, everyone was stunned, and quickly figured it out.

Yes, there were generals on them when they stayed, but they passed away half a month ago.

They didn't receive any orders, and now they are in a leaderless state, and they don't know anything.

I don't say that there is merit in this way, but we can't say that we have had it.

"Head, don't worry, we'll arrange it, and we won't delay things."

"Take control of it all and don't let the soldiers see anything."

"Don't worry." After everyone left, Wang Qingyan's expression became solemn again.

He is not as easy as these people, although this is the case, but judging from the current behavior, it is obvious that they have been abandoned or used to delay the pace of the Qi army.

As long as they don't succeed, no matter how many of them have to do it, it's useless, even if they don't pursue them this time, I'm afraid they will get it back in the future.

It's just that Wang Qingyan is unwilling to stick to him here, and it feels very bad to be treated as an outcast.

There are not only soldiers like them in Liancheng, but also the people of a city, Wang Qingyan doesn't want to die, he doesn't want his brothers who fought side by side to die, and he doesn't want the people to die innocently, so he can only take one step at a time.

The evacuation of the people was very fast, after all, after such a long war, everyone knew what the situation in Liancheng was.

Although it is difficult to leave the homeland, as long as you don't want to die, you will obey the arrangement and leave quietly.

The materials in the army, Guo Daniu and others have also been counted, and they are waiting for Wang Qingyan's order.

Wang Qingyan naturally wanted to leave, but he couldn't directly release the city, he always had to find a way to make a merit for everyone to save their lives, and then repel the Qi people, so that they could have more time to evacuate.

Although the people are gone, there are still some things left in Liancheng, Wang Qingyan is thinking about what can be used, and a plan is gradually formed.

Just as it was about to be implemented, the spies came to report that reinforcements were coming.

Wang Qingyan frowned, how could there be reinforcements at this time? Could it be that they were all wrong? Aren't they treated as outcasts? That's impossible.

"Who's in charge here?"

"General Hui, General Zhou Pi died in battle some time ago, we have not been on the peak here, the battle in Liancheng is temporarily formulated by me, and others will negotiate to deal with it."

The leader of the reinforcements was very strong, Wang Qingyan frowned, but he still stood up.

The man looked at Wang Qingyan as he heard about his position, and his face was full of contempt.

Guo Daniu and the others had a bad face, but they were stopped by Wang Qingyan.

Originally, there were reinforcements, and they were very happy, but now look at it, the purpose of this reinforcement is worth thinking about.

"Okay, in that case, I will be in command from now on, my name is Yang Bai, you can call me General Yang, and then all actions will be under command."

"Yes, General."

No matter what the other party's intentions were, the other party was indeed a general, and he also brought more than 1,000 people, so Wang Qingyan did not resist the other party.

When General Yang led people away, Guo Daniu and others surrounded Wang Qingyan again.

"Head, this General Yang doesn't look like he's here to support, I secretly looked, they don't bring many supplies, and the number of people is also small."

"Tell the brothers to be careful, whatever they have to do, we will take the opportunity."

"Know the head, rest assured, we won't be stupid to be outcasts."

"Head, what about the people in the city that General Yang asked? It seems to be very angry, let you explain. ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'll go and see, we almost didn't hold the city before, and it's normal for the people to worry about leaving."

Wang Qingyan was telling them how to collude confessions, and the others nodded and quietly arranged it.

The rest of them are now their own people, so even if General Yang is a senior officer, he can't ask anything, so he can only give up, but he is becoming more and more unkind to Wang Qingyan and others.

"The general doesn't need to be angry with these dying people, when everything here is arranged, I'm afraid the general will be promoted to another level when he goes back."

The people who came with Yang Bai were flattered by the side, they didn't want to cause trouble, so they wanted to hurry up and leave after dealing with Liancheng's affairs, after all, it would change later.
