Chapter 36-The Fall of Longxi, The Arrival of Victory (1)）
Longxi!
Longxi had already become a massive mill of flesh and blood.
The 100,000 Da Yue clansmen broke through the Great Wall's defensive line and entered Longxi County.
The Blood Pagoda was very strong, but even so, it only had 3,000 people.
On the other hand, the Da Yue Clan had more than a hundred thousand.
Amongst them were the Great Moon King Cavalry that had been enhanced with a basic battle formation, and the top nine on the Great Moon Clan's Divine Weapon ranking.
Although Dian Wei and Xu Chu were ferocious, they were no match for everyone on the Great Yue Clan's Divine Artifact Ranking.
After a day of bloody battles at the Great Wall outside Di Dao, the Blood Pagoda chose to retreat with Li Xin, who had fainted from exhaustion.
The collapse of the Great Wall's defense line was like an open dam.
More than 100,000 cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan poured into Longxi County like a flood.
Now that it was the autumn harvest, the grain in the fields had not been harvested in time.
Fortunately, Li Xin had Li Tong go to Ji County first to set up defenses by relying on the Wei River.
While heading to Ji County, Li Tong ordered the burning of all the surrounding farmlands that had not been harvested in time.
All the residents outside the city had to move into the city.
This way, the effect of the wall field was achieved.
Although the Da Yue clan cavalry could march straight in, they had no way of finding supplies in Longxi County.
Of course, there were advantages and disadvantages to this.
The benefit was that they had cut off the supply of the Da Yue Clan.
The disadvantage was that it had infuriated the Da Yue Clan.
It was like a person who had spent a lot of money to buy a treasure chest and had spent a lot of effort to open it, but when the treasure chest opened, it was filled with bricks and tiles. How could the person who bought the treasure chest not be angry?
Every time these nomads plundered the border, there was no noble reason.
The only reason was to seize wealth, food, and labor.
But now, there was none.
The Great Moon King ordered them to continue advancing in anger, all the way to Ji County, the hinterland of Longxi County.
Ji County was backed by the strong city of Wei River. After Li Tong came to Ji County, he organized people to set up the second line of defense here.
However, even the Di Dao Great Wall could not stop the Great Yue Clan's cavalry, let alone Ji County.
If it weren't for the natural barrier of Wei River, the cavalrymen of the Great Yue Clan would have broken through the city wall of Ji County by now.
But even so, the Da Yue Clan relied on the few experts on the Da Yue Clan's Divine Weapon Rankings to almost cross the river.
In Ji County.
Li Tong's face turned pale.
Wei River is difficult to defend, Ji County is even more dangerous to defend.
The city was about to be breached.
One could imagine that once Ji County was breached, the hundreds of thousands of commoners in the city, as well as him, the governor of Longxi County, would definitely face a bloody massacre.
Run?
Li Tong wanted to run.
But would he be fine if he ran?
Of course not.
Great Qin's laws were strict, and they not only targeted the people but also the officials.
According to the laws and regulations of the Great Qin Dynasty, officials and generals who escaped from battle were punished for treason. Their whole families were implicated and those who recommended them were sentenced to death.
To put it bluntly, regardless of whether it was an official or a general, if they escaped from battle, they would be dealt with as traitors. It was almost a situation of being torn apart by five horses.
Moreover, not only was he executed, but his family was also implicated.
If it was light, they would be sent to the border to enrich the population, and if it was serious, they would be sent to Yunzhong County to repair the Great Wall.
And there was one more important point.
Even those who had once recommended this official would have to sit together with him.
Li Tong's sponsor was Li Si.
Don't think that just because Li Si was the Great Qin's Right Prime Minister, he was fine.
During the reign of Prince Zhao of Qin, the Prime Minister of Qin, Fan Ju, had once recommended two people.
One of them was called Zheng Ping 'an, and the other was called Wang Ji.
At that time, Fan Ju was at the height of his power in Qin.
After the Battle of Changping, the other five countries saw that the Qin Country was powerful and feared it, so they formed an alliance to attack the Qin Country.
Zheng Ping 'an, who Fan Ju recommended, did not lead the army in Qin country because he was defeated by the allied army and surrendered.
According to the law, Fan Ju was to be executed together with the king, but Prince Zhao of Qin personally came forward to plead for leniency.
However, Fan Ju was also unlucky. Not long after, Wang Ji, who was an official, surrendered to the empire.
Therefore, Prince Zhao could not plead for Fan Ju.
Fan Ju was removed from his position as Prime Minister and died because of it.
If Li Tong ran away, not only would his entire family suffer, even Li Si would not be able to stay out of it.
On the contrary, if Li Tong died in Ji County, his family would be treated well.
"Forget it, I'll just die!" Li Tong, who was sitting in the government office, sighed.
"Report ~~"
A messenger stumbled in and knelt in front of Li Tong. His voice trembled as he said," County Governor, County Governor, something bad has happened. The Great Yue Clan's cavalrymen have crossed the river, they have crossed the river!"
"Ah?" Li Tong stood up from his seat with a thud. His face was pale and his legs went weak, almost falling to the ground.
It was a feeling to know that one knew that one was going to die.
However, when the knife was placed behind his neck, it was a different feeling.
" Quickly bring me to the city to organize the defense," Li Tong said with a trembling voice.
However, before Li Tong could step out, another messenger came.
"Reporting ~ Lord County Governor, reinforcements are here!”
Li Tong, who seemed to have been thrown into the abyss of hell by a single sentence, became spirited in the next moment.
"Reinforcements? Where did the reinforcements come from? How many were there? Where were they?”Li Tong asked with his eyes wide open. He walked out of the government office as he asked.
However, just as he reached the door, Li Tong was almost angered to death by the words of the messenger behind him.
"Lord County Governor, only one person called Fifth Young Master Ying Lu.”the messenger said.
Li Tong, who thought he was saved, almost fell to the ground.
Only one person?
And a young master?
He was probably not here to joke.
Moreover, he had never heard of this Fifth Young Master Ying Lu before!
