Monument Yangmen

Chapter 291 Li City Crisis
Yang Yanding led the troops and marched for four days, only half of the distance.

Due to the large number of seizures, heavy materials, and the terrain of Jiaozhi, Yang Yanding's march was very slow.

After another day, Yang Yanding received a report from the spies of Huoshan Camp. After Li Huan learned that Hualu had been breached, he led an army of [-] to help. To Licheng.

"Seventh brother is in danger..."

Yang Yanding immediately sent someone to recruit Yang Yanguang, and ordered Yang Yanguang to lead the cavalry first and go back to aid Licheng.

Yang Yanguang accepted the order without any hesitation, led his cavalry, abandoned the luggage and the captured, and rushed to Licheng first.

Yang Yanding sent Ouke and Zhao Di respectively, each leading 1000 troops, to set up a tent in a hidden place in a valley, and left all the seized materials and property under their guard.

Yang Yanding led the rest of the troops, followed Yang Yanguang, and hurried to Licheng.

In Licheng City, Yang Yansi also received the news that Li Huan led his army back to aid and was preparing to attack Licheng.

Li Huan had an army of [-], while Yang Yansi had only a few thousand men and horses. If he defended the city, he would undoubtedly hit a stone with an egg. If he abandoned Li City, he would give Li Huan another chance to breathe.

A decisive battle with Li Huan is inevitable.

If you want to win Jiaozhi, you must destroy Li Huan, the person who controls the power of Jiaozhi.

Yang Yansi didn't want to give Li Huan a chance, so he finally decided to stick to Li City.

Yang Yansi mobilized all the slaves in the city and began to build the city wall at high speed.

Li Huan didn't have thunder and fire oil, so in front of the majestic and towering city walls, he could only look at the ocean and sigh, and only by paying the lives of tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of soldiers, could he take down Li City.

At the beginning, Li Huan turned Li City into a military city. This military city did not become a sharp weapon to stop Yang Yansi's advance, but now Yang Yansi used it in turn to become a sharp weapon to stop Li Huan.

In order to strengthen the city, most of the stone buildings in the city were demolished by Yang Yansi.

A piece of boulder was sent to the city wall, and the city wall grew higher day by day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the thousands of troops under Yang Yansi were sent out, and many traps, thunder and fire oil were planted on the only way of Li Huan outside the city.

Everything is going on tensely.

Yang Yansi is planning to divide troops to station on the city wall in Licheng City Lord's Mansion.

A spy belonging to the Volcanic Battalion entered the City Lord's Mansion, knelt down on one knee, and reported to Yang Yansi, "Chief, something special happened..."

Yang Yansi put down the defense map of Licheng City in his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Spy Hui reported: "My subordinates and others discovered in the slave camp that someone was secretly colluding with them in an attempt to unite with Li Huan and take Li City by cooperating internally and externally."

Yang Yansi stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced in front of the desk, walked around, and then said: "These slaves are all Jiaozhi people. Once Li Huan attacks the city, they will definitely collude secretly to riot. This is indeed a trouble. .”

Yang Yansi frowned and pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Go and bring me Huang Quan."

"promise!"

Not long after the spies from the Volcanic Camp left the City Lord's Mansion, Huang Quan appeared in front of Yang Yansi wearing armor, carrying a longbow, and carrying a scimitar.

"Subordinate Huang Quan, please see my lord."

Yang Yansi waved his hand, "There is no need to be too polite, there is one thing, I want to hear your opinion."

Huang Quan was stunned, and said with a dry smile: "Your Excellency is extremely wise, if there is anything, you can just order it. How can I give you any advice for a rough subordinate."

Yang Yansi smiled lightly and asked Huang Quan to sit down.

He smiled and said: "As the saying goes, one person counts the short, and two count the long. You don't have to say so many prevarications in front of me, you just need to listen to my question and give an opinion."

Huang Quan scratched his head, he didn't understand what kind of medicine Yang Yansi bought in the gourd, he didn't need to think too much, and said bluntly: "My lord has something to say, my subordinates will know everything and say everything."

Yang Yansi nodded, and pondered: "The big battle is imminent, but the slaves in the city are fluctuating when they see Li Huan attacking. I am afraid they will gather a crowd to make trouble and cause mutiny. How can you solve this?"

Huang Quan blinked, and said in amazement: "What's so embarrassing, since they are disobedient, just kill them all."

The corner of Yang Yansi's mouth twitched, and he sighed: "There are as many as 10 slaves in the city, and they were all killed in one go?"

"10 people?"

Huang Quan was stunned. He often saw slaves being guarded and working around in Li City, but he never carefully calculated how many slaves there were.

Now hearing that there are actually 10 slaves in the city, he couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

There are only 10 people in the city of Miza, including the grain farmers in the nearby farms.

Killing 10 people in one breath is equivalent to destroying nearly a dense city of people.

Huang Quan really couldn't do anything.

Now, he also understood why Yang Yansi recruited him to discuss this matter.

Obviously, Yang Yansi had also thought about his proposal, but Yang Yansi couldn't do it either.

Seeing Yang Yansi staring at him blankly, wanting him to give an answer, Huang Quan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head.

"My lord, this subordinate once heard Wang Mingcheng say that there is no poison and no husband. Let these people be handed over to this subordinate, and this subordinate will definitely deal with it properly."

Yang Yansi didn't say a word, but nodded slowly, then closed his eyes, waved his hand, indicating that Huang Quan could go down.

Huang Quan didn't tell Yang Yansi what he would do, and Yang Yansi didn't ask Huang Quan what he would do.

The two people have a tacit understanding of each other.

Yang Yansi recruited Huang Quan for questioning, and asked Huang Quan to give the answer himself, and this answer was actually Yang Yansi's purpose for recruiting Huang Quan. It could also be said that this was Yang Yansi's order to Huang Quan in disguise.

After Huang Quan left the city lord's mansion, none of the soldiers in the city left the city to set traps.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, one group guarded the slaves in the city, and the other group took away tens of thousands of slaves from the city.

Going back and forth like this, I walked a full eleven times.

Almost all the slave men in the city disappeared.

In the entire Li city, only the women and children in the city and thousands of soldiers under Yang Yansi remained.

The wall-building scene, which was originally in full swing, also became quiet all of a sudden.

Almost all the soldiers became expressionless after escorting the slaves.

Each of them held their own weapons tightly in their hands, and according to the number allocated by Yang Yansi, they each boarded the top of the city they were to guard.

There was no laughter and cursing on the faces of the soldiers, but only solemn expressions.
