Chapter 98: Offense and Defense Reverse
Li Qinglin did not come to the front line in person. The soldiers at the city gate worked hard, but they were no match for the elites of the West Savage Kingdom. After one day and one night, the city was breached.
Mang You led his army in, looked up to the sky, and laughed, Li Qinglin is nothing more than that! We overestimated him.
In fact, before this, as a general who had experienced hundreds of battles, Mang You had always been worried.
Because this invasion was so smooth.
Especially the border army The general of the border army was of course Li Qinglins absolute confidant. They had fought countless battles with him in the West Savage Kingdom and shed a lot of blood over the years. Such a person surrendered without causing any dissatisfaction among the soldiers below. Even all the soldiers at the beacon towers were arranged in advance, allowing them to march straight in. It was very strange.
He also advised the prince to be careful, but the prince turned a deaf ear to his words.
But the invasion was really smooth. The surrendered general and soldiers even led them all the way to the capital. The ability to reach Hengshan County so quickly and the detour to raid Li Fire City were all due to the surrendered soldiers.
This time, even Li Fire City was breached. What else could go wrong?
Li Fire City was breached despite the desperate defense. Almost all the soldiers who defended the city were killed and injured, so there was no trap for luring them into the city. As an experienced general, Mang You was very sure of this.
Li Qinglin probably disappointed the frontier soldiers that they let us through. Maybe Im just overthinking.
The West Savage Kingdom army entered the city on horseback. The sound of horse hooves trampled the long street. Looking at the closed doors in the Li Fire City, Mang You smiled slightly.
South Li Kingdom was much more prosperous than the West Savage Kingdom. In the future, this place may become the capital of West Savage Kingdom, so they wouldnt damage the houses if not necessary. As long as they breached the palace and captured Li Qinglin, Mang Yous name would be shine in history as the commander who ended a kingdom.
All the way to the palace, the palace guards had already fled. The eunuchs and maids inside could be seen running around in panic. Seeing the approaching army, their cries were loud.
Mang You rushed in with his troops, but he was stunned.
They came to a broad square with high stone steps at the end. There was a dragon chair on the stone steps, and a figure sat calmly on it, looking down at the troops swarming in.
Mang You cautiously ordered the soldiers to spread out and guard the major paths. Thousands of archers were stationed in the square, collectively pointing their arrows at the figure on the dragon chair.
After making sure everything was ready, Mang You held a battle ax and slowly approached the stone steps with his soldiers.
As they got closer, they could clearly see an old man in a dragon robe sitting high above. He had an old face and a stooped figure, but he was holding a silver spear. His eyes were piercing.
Li Li Qinglin? Mang You was quite shocked.
Im a veteran in my fifties The sudden sight of a young and handsome opponent who had fought many times on the battlefield turned into a figure much older than him gave him an indescribable psychological impact.
I heard that he used some kind of illusion art to maintain his youthful appearance. Has the illusion art failed? Or does he not want to hide it anymore?
Mang You had an ominous omen.
Yes. Li Qinglin said with a smile. His voice was old but very loud, Mang You, I didnt expect it was you who came here instead of Mang Zhan, very good, real good.
The ominous omen became even stronger.
No matter what Li Qinglin does, he has no way to turn the tide now, but he looks like he has won the battle.
Did he lose his mind because he has lost the kingdom?
He didnt say anything. He just cautiously let the soldiers surround Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin didnt care that he was surrounded. He still said with a smile, Actually, as an experienced general, you should have noticed something strange.
Mang You signaled the soldiers to stay put as he said calmly, No matter how strange it is, your South Li Kingdom has fallen and you, Li Qinglin, are our prisoner now. How can you laugh even at this moment? Have you lost your mind due to the cruel reality?
Li Qinglin raised his head and laughed, It is not necessarily true that the South Li Kingdom has fallen, but I can guarantee you that the West Savage Kingdom will fall first.
In Hengshan County, Ming He watched the attack and defense of the city wall indifferently.
The endless corpses did not cause any ripples in her eyes. Her eyes focused more on Li Qingjuns bloody fighting figure.
Immortal cultivators rarely made promises because they were afraid of karma. But when Qin Yi entrusted Li Qingjuns life to her, she agreed without even thinking about it.
Not to give face to Qin Yi.
Not about admiring Li Qingjun.
Just because of that jade pendant.
That was a jade pendant with a lot of history If Li Qinglin was beyond saving, Li Qingjun was the inheritor of that jade pendant. She, Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace, intended to sell a favor to the original owner of the jade pendant. This was what her master mentioned in the reply at that time.
However, her mood was a little complicated at this time.
She once went to the palace to communicate with Li Qinglin, originally intending to talk about the jade pendant, but she got a very unexpected answer.
This decisive battle in the South Li Kingdom was far from being as simple as Li Qingjun thought.
When the attack and defense were intensifying, Mang Zhans army under the city suddenly burst into commotion. Within a moment, they suddenly shouted crazily, and the troops attacking the city retreated like a tide.
Ming He sighed secretly.
Li Qingjun looked out in astonishment from the top of the city wall, only to see Mang Zhans army retreating rapidly to the west as if they had received some extremely important order. Even their marching formation was a little disordered.
Veteran General Xie Yuan said happily, Princess Royal, we can pursue!
Li Qingjun frowned, This retreat is too unusual, could it be a trap?
Its not a trap. Xie Yuan said firmly, Emperors plan has succeeded.
Xie Yuans tone was very strange, seeming a little sad but also a little respectful.
Emperors plan? Li Qingjun didnt feel angry about being deceived, but she was a little surprised instead.
Even if Brother is addicted to Taoism, he is still a veteran who fought on the battlefield in the first half of his life. When faced with such an important war, he wouldnt just give 2 orders. He must have other arrangements.
So he really had a secret plan?
She quickly rushed down from the city wall to organize the cavalry. As long as South Li Kingdom is fine, it doesnt matter if he hides from me. I dont fight for power, so he can take all the power if he likes.
The city gate suddenly opened, and Li Qingjun led the army out of the city, attacking the West Savage Kingdom army from behind.
Sure enough, it was not a trap. The West Savage Kingdom army did not know what was going on. They only knew that the prince urgently ordered the retreat. The soldiers were at a loss, and their formation collapsed. In an instant, they knocked each other down and trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.
At the same time, the South Li Kingdom border army that should have defected to the enemy cooperated with Li Qingjun to pincer the West Savage Kingdom army, splitting their army into several small groups.
The offense and defense were instantly reversed.
Li Qingjun was surprised and delighted. She led her soldiers to chase hundreds of miles away.
At the western border, smoke suddenly rose from the beacon tower. It was the South Li Kingdom border army, that were being detained in the border town, invading the border outpost, trying to regain control. This smoke was lit by the West Savage Kingdom army.
Li Qingjun looked at the smoke from a distance. She couldnt figure out how her brother did it.
Ming He, who was watching the battle from the air, sighed and looked in the direction of Li Fire City.
There was fire burning over there.
