"Great, this dog official is finally dead.”
"Yeah, when they usually do things, they eat and take advantage of us commoners. They're also corrupt and indecisive. During the war, they're even afraid of death and run away. Such a dog official deserves to be killed. This female general killed well!”
Many of the commoners who were watching were very happy. They had been made difficult by this dog official many times.
"Miss, isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?”A female soldier tugged at the corner of Li Jun's clothes and whispered into her ear.
"He's just a seventh rank official, and this is during wartime. During wartime, this general has the right to execute him. He even fled before the battle, so there won't be any trouble if I kill him.”Li Jun shook her head and replied.
Generally speaking, the appointment, resignation, and execution of officials could only be decided by the emperor of the capital. Even if they were guilty, they had to be escorted to the capital to meet the emperor before they could be executed. However, sometimes, when a war broke out, the generals at the front line had a certain degree of autonomy. Any officials below Rank-5 or Rank-6 would be under the jurisdiction of the generals at the front line. Any deserters or traitors could be killed first and reported later.
This was also the right to face battle, so that it would be more convenient for him to fight wholeheartedly.
After getting rid of this shameless official, Li Taixuan, Li Jun, Commandant Zhou, the 30 Women's Troop, and a portion of the veteran soldiers entered the City Lord's Mansion.
Since the City Lord of this city had already run away, there was no other official or general in the entire city who had a higher position than Li Jun. Li Jun sat in the seat of honor, Li Taixuan sat on the left, and Commandant Zhou sat on the right. The other female soldiers and soldiers stood behind them.
"First of all, congratulations to Youzhou City for successfully defending Youzhou City.”When Li Jun said this, she smiled at Li Taixuan and said,"Li Taixuan's contribution to the defense of Youzhou City is indispensable. I've decided to appoint Li Taixuan as the Deputy Commander of Youzhou City during the war. He will temporarily command all the soldiers and civilians in Youzhou City to defend against the attack of the Turkic army.”
"Wait, General, you mean there will be more Turks attacking Youzhou City?”Commandant Zhou asked in surprise.
Li Jun nodded and said," That's right. When I set off, I already received the latest information from the front line. The Turks we killed and captured were only the vanguard. Most of the Turks are still in the rear.”
Hearing this news, Commandant Zhou's heart sank. He had thought that Youzhou City would be safe after blocking the attack of the Turks, but he had thought too much.
"Then how many soldiers do you expect the Turks to have?" Commandant Zhou asked bitterly.”
"At least 50,000!" Li Jun voiced her guess.
"50,000?" Commandant Zhou was stunned. If 20,000 Turks could raze Youzhou City to the ground, wouldn't 50,000 Turks be able to take Youzhou City in one day?
All the soldiers of Youzhou City were shocked. How could they defend 50,000 soldiers? None of them were War God Li Taixuan.
Eh? War God?
That's right! They couldn't defend Youzhou City for sure; however, didn't Battle God Li Taixuan also stay in Youzhou City? Given his unrivaled battle strength on the battlefield, he could definitely defend Youzhou City. Even if he killed the enemy's general among 10,000 soldiers like last time, it was very possible!
Since War God Li Taixuan is here, what do we need to fear? 'Yes, we don't need to be afraid of anything. With Battle God Li Taixuan in Youzhou City, he could definitely protect all the commoners in Youzhou City!'
At this moment, both the female and male soldiers reacted. Only Commandant Zhou was confused and did not react for a while. Instead, he said anxiously,"We only have over 1,200 soldiers left in Youzhou City. Only about 500 young and strong men survived.”
Two thousand men defending the city against fifty thousand savage Turks, especially when they didn't have enough resources to defend the city, would be a miracle if they could hold on. Perhaps there was a powerful person who could do it, but Commandant Zhou believed that he didn't have the ability.
Wait, someone with ability.
Commandant Zhou suddenly turned his gaze to Li Taixuan, who was gulping down a mouthful of cold water. Li Jun's gaze also fell on him at the same time.
"Phew, I'm just not used to drinking tea. It's better to quench my thirst with cold water.”
"Hmm? Why are you looking at me?"
Li Taixuan put down the kettle and looked at the two of them in confusion.
In an instant, Commandant Zhou stood up from his seat and knelt in front of Li Taixuan at an extremely fast speed. He begged,""Young master Li Taixuan, please help us defend against the incoming Turkic attack. The enemy has at least fifty thousand men, and we simply cannot defend with our current numbers. If there's any hope of defending, it's definitely you.”
"On behalf of all the commoners in Youzhou City, I beg you to save Youzhou City! Please!"
Commandant Zhou was very excited and sincerely begged.
Li Taixuan quickly got up and helped Field Officer Zhou up. He said,""Commandant Zhou, you can't do that. My father said that a loyal person like you who has the ability to serve the country shouldn't kneel to others casually.”
"Don't worry, my dad has taught me since I was young. If I could do it, I should protect the commoners of our country well and never let them be hurt. I've promised my dad that I would definitely do it. None of the Turks would be able to enter the city!”
At the end of his speech, Li Taixuan patted his chest and made a strong guarantee.
"That's great, that's great!" Field Officer Zhou was extremely touched.
Although Li Taixuan was brave and extraordinary, he was not a soldier, an official, or a general. He was just a commoner who did not work for the court. He had no obligation or responsibility to protect the city and the people. Even if he did not care, Commandant Zhou could not blame him even if he complained. After all, according to the law, a commoner like Li Taixuan was the person they needed to protect. Now, they were asking the commoner to protect them and bear their responsibility.
This made Field Officer Zhou feel very ashamed. The soldiers behind him were also very embarrassed. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at Li Taixuan.
"Hey, what kind of expression is that? If I said I'll protect her, I'll definitely protect her. Don't worry.”Li Taixuan said again.
