Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"Pass on my oral order. All citizens in the city should flee south temporarily. Tell Prince Qing to lead the troops to counterattack!"

Huangfu Qingling gave an order, and Bao Bu Tong's men immediately went forward to deliver the message.

Not long after, the people began to evacuate to the south. With the help of the Ministry of Justice, no serious incidents occurred during the evacuation.

As the civilians retreated, soldiers quickly entered the city and began preparing for its defense.

"His Majesty."

Prince Qing also came to the top floor of the hotel.

The view here is wide and can be used as the central military camp.

Besides, the empress is here and needs more protection.

"How's it going?"

Huangfu Qingling's letter was serious yet a bit anxious.

The Yan army broke in and Pengcheng fell. This was the biggest crisis in Dayong's history!

Prince Qing relied on Pengcheng to defend against the Yan army's attack, but now...

"The spies have just been sent out."

"The situation has not been reported yet."

"But there's no good vantage point..."

Just when Prince Qing was in distress, Lin Yi spoke.

"Uh...should I...go?"

Lin Yi felt that he should not attend such an important military meeting, "But if my community hasn't fallen yet..."

In one sentence, Prince Qing's train of thought was immediately cleared!

An eight-story residential complex, and all of them are concrete houses!

It should be the best vantage point outside Liangzhou City!

"Lin Yi, I think you should stay."

Prince Qing laughed heartily and immediately reported to Huangfu Qingling, "Your Majesty, I will send someone to the community to check the situation first!"

Having said that, he left immediately to arrange for manpower.

"Lin Yi, you have accomplished a great deed this time!"

A slight smile appeared on Huangfu Qingling's originally distressed face, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

She never imagined that the community built by Lin Yi would become an absolute commanding height during the war!

"You'd better stay here. There will be a battle down below soon."

She thought about it and waved her hand slightly.

Now that the people are evacuating and the army is entering, if Lin Yi wants to retreat alone, he will probably encounter a fight.

There will inevitably be concerns about life.

"I know you want to build Liangzhou City. If this war is delayed, I will also..."

Before he could finish his words, a man rushed in.

Yang Jian's face was full of anxiety, and he happened to hear Huangfu Qingling say the word "I".

And more than once!

"You...you are the emperor?"

Yang Jian's face was full of surprise.

But Huangfu Qingling frowned, and there was a hint of murderous intent on his face.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Yang Jian, why didn't you run after me?"

Lin Yi asked slowly.

"I'm your bodyguard. If your life is in danger, how can I just leave you alone?"

Yang Jian's eyes were very discerning.

Now that he knew the identity of the empress, Yang Jian immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I know I am a general of the State of Yan, but when the life of Liangzhou City is in danger, I... cannot escape."

Yang Jian said, "Wherever Lin Yi is, I'll be there!"

"That's fine."

The murderous intent in Huangfu Qingling's eyes faded a little, "You all wait here."

For Lin Yi's sake, she didn't want to kill Yang Jian, but she wouldn't let Yang Jian go to resist the Yan army either.

Not long after, flames shot up into the sky outside the city.

This is the Molotov cocktail provided by Lin Yi to the army!

"This is……"

Yang Jian looked into the distance. Even though it was dark, he could still see some vehicles moving forward through the reflection.

This is a very strange vehicle, covered in armor but without any horses!

"This is the Xuanwu car."

"Prince Qing's weapon for suppressing the rebellion in the south."

Huangfu Qingling casually reminded him, "If you still want to run to Yan State, I will never let you go."

Having learned the secrets of Dayong’s army, Yang Jian would never let it go easily.

"Your Majesty, where can I go back to?"

An awkward smile appeared on Yang Jian's face.

If it weren't for the Yan State's secret envoys constantly chasing him, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation.

At this time, Prince Qing was watching from a commanding height outside the city.

"Report, the Yan army's spies have been completely eliminated and are retreating!"

"Report, the main force of the Yan army is camping thirty miles outside Liangzhou City!"

"Report! Three hundred cavalry are attacking from the east..."

By the time the news from these spies reached Prince Qing's ears, he had already seen a lot of it.

Only the main force of the Yan army was thirty miles outside the city, and it was not very clear.

Relying on Molotov cocktails and Xuanwu chariots, the vanguard of the Yan army was completely defeated.

After a night of fighting, the main force of the Yan army was blocked thirty miles north of Liangzhou City.

After the battle, Prince Qing was able to go back and report the situation.

"His Majesty……"

When Prince Qing arrived at the top floor of the hotel, he saw Yang Jian was there before he could say a few words.

"How is the situation, Yang Jian? As a guard to protect Lin Yi, I have allowed him to stay here."

Only after Huangfu Qingling explained did Prince Qing continue to speak.

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Yan army, numbering 100,000, is camping thirty miles north of Liangzhou City."

"Last night's battle completely wiped out the vanguard troops and spies."

Prince Qing reported, "However, I'm afraid we can't deal with an army of 100,000 so quickly."

"You mean, you can't beat me?"

"Neither Xuanwu cars nor Molotov cocktails work?"

Huangfu Qingling frowned, even a little angry.

They could even suppress the rebellion of the King of Qi, but the Yan army couldn’t defeat it?

"Your Majesty, if you can defend your city and clear the countryside, you will definitely win."

Prince Qing took a deep breath and slowly explained, "But... in this case, I'm afraid..."

"The buildings in Liangzhou City will all be damaged. All the things Lin Yi built may need to be... repaired."

Hearing this, Huangfu Qingling was also a little embarrassed.

Wars always involve back-and-forth strife, and there is always the possibility that they will involve houses in the city.

If the city is to be preserved, the remaining 30,000 troops in Prince Qing's hands will indeed be difficult to deal with.

"What about the soldiers in other positions?"

"The border is so long, can't we send troops?"

Huangfu Qingling asked emotionally, she was very anxious.

"The message has been sent, and there has been some return."

Prince Qing immediately explained, "They were also attacked by the Yan army and couldn't leave their position."

"It seems that the Yan army had planned this long ago..."

Huangfu Qingling said this and looked at Yang Jian.

As a general of the Yan army, how could he not know this news?

"Your Majesty, as a general of the Yan army, I would not arrange such an attack."

Yang Jian said, "Perhaps it was an order directly given by the secret envoy."

Although he was a general, it took time to convey orders, and Yan State did not have bicycles, so the speed of transmission would be much slower.

"So what else can we do now?"

"Brother, I am here and can only rely on you!"

Huangfu Qingling's eyes were pleading. She didn't want to see Dayong being invaded by the State of Yan!

"Why don't I give it a try?"

Lin Yi suddenly stood up.

"Lin Yi, this is war, it's different from your business."

Prince Qing warned, "You are not capable of fighting."

"Yes, I'm really not good at fighting."

"But I'm good at business."

Hearing this, Huangfu Qingling's eyes lit up.
