Chapter 593 We Were About to Fight to the Death, Why Did the Young Patriarch Surrender First? When the Enemy Advances, We Retreat; when the Enemy Is Stationed, We Harass!

Shouts and screams filled the entire Yanling City.

The number of Yanling defenders was originally smaller than that of the Qin-Qi coalition forces, and they were suddenly attacked by the Qin-Qi coalition forces. Many soldiers fell in a pool of blood without even putting on their armor.

Blood and corpses covered the outside of the county government office, and Jing Luan himself was even within the range of the Qin-Qi coalition's strong archers!

The bloody threat of death made Jing Luan tremble with fear, his vision blurred, and his ears buzzed.

But after hearing this call, Jing Luan turned around and shouted angrily: "I have been entrusted by the king and the clan leader, so I have taken on the responsibility of being the county lord of Yanling."

"Even if the enemy has rushed into the city, so what?"

"Even if I die, I will be with the city!"

"Pull out the person who disturbed the morale of the army, even if it is my nephew, he should be beheaded for public display!"

Jing Luan's family soldiers drew their swords and looked coldly at the county government office.

All of Jing Luan's family members held their weapons tightly and looked around.

After a few breaths, Jing Luan's son whispered in surprise: "Aunt, the shouting did not seem to come from the yamen, but from outside the yamen."

Jing Luan laughed and shouted: "Ridiculous!"

"Outside the county yamen is the enemy! How could the enemy call me uncle!"

However, as soon as Jing Luan finished speaking, Jing Po had broken through the soldiers blocking him, stood at the forefront of the Qin-Qi coalition and shouted loudly: "Uncle, surrender!"

Jing Luan: !!!

Jing Luan turned to Jing Po with a stiff neck, and then his pupils suddenly shook, and he shouted in surprise: "Po, Po, Po'er?!"

"How could you appear in the enemy army?"

"Quick!"

"Save the young clan leader at all costs!"

After hearing Jing Luan's words, even the guards who did not know Jing Po knew Jing Po's identity at this moment.

Then came the burning heat in their hearts!

Everyone knows that Jingpo, the young patriarch of the Jing family, was captured by the Qin army last year and has not yet returned to Chu.

As a result, today, they actually saw the young patriarch with their own eyes!

They didn't want to think about why Jingpo appeared in the enemy's camp.

They only knew that as long as they rescued Jingpo, the Jing family could at least ensure that their three generations would have no worries about food and clothing!

Even if they died for this, it would be worth it!

A group of family soldiers and guards subconsciously wanted to raise their fighting spirit and roared.

However, the next moment, they watched Jingpo bow his hands and say loudly: "The 2500th leader of the Qin-Qi coalition army, the fake captain, Jingpo, greets the magistrate of Yanling County."

Everyone: Huh? ? ?

Jing Luan froze in place, confused and asked: "Po'er, what are you talking about?"

"What is the 2500th leader of the Qin-Qi coalition army, what is the fake captain?"

"You, you can't say that!"

Jing Luan had a terrible guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to believe it!

But Jingpo only needed one sentence to make Jingluan believe it!

Taking another step forward, Jingpo ordered in a deep voice: "All troops, listen to my order!"

"Retreat twenty feet and re-form the battle array!"

Peng Yue, Huang Kuang and others looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Seeing that the enemy army, which was as fierce as wolves and tigers just now, stopped killing and retreated to reorganize the army because of Jingpo's words, Jingluan and others' eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

So Jingpo really became a fake commander of the Qin-Qi coalition? !

So this enemy army was brought by Jingpo? !

Jingluan was still fighting to the death for the interests of the Jing family and the trust of Jingchou.

As a result, Jingchou's son and the first heir of the Jing family not only surrendered first, but even became an enemy general! ! !

"Dang~"

The sword in Jingluan's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Jingpo in bewilderment and shock: "Po'er, what is going on!"

"Why is it so?"

"Why is it so!"

Jingpo said calmly: "Now our 20,000 troops have all entered Yanling City."

"According to my observation, the Yanling defenders are not enough to stop our troops from taking the city."

"In order to avoid meaningless sacrifices, I beg my uncle to surrender to the Qin Dynasty like me!"

Listening to Jingpo's words, the guards and family soldiers showed deep despair in their eyes.

Yanling City is not a military stronghold, and it is far away from the front line. It is not far from the surrounding cities and is convenient for rushing to help.

So Yanling City now has only 700 defenders!

Even if Jingluan's family soldiers, family members, and the family soldiers and servants of all officials in the city are added, the combat-ready soldiers in Yanling City will not exceed 1,000.

And these people are the leftovers of the main army, or the children of rich families who dare not go to the front line.

Let such an army fight to the death with 20,000 elite soldiers of Qin and Qi?

To be honest, they already want to surrender!

Jing Luan's heart moved when he heard the words "surrender to the Great Qin like this general."

"Surrender to Qin?" Jing Luan roared angrily: "If I surrender, how can I live up to the trust of the clan leader and the trust of the king!"

Jingpo said sincerely: "The disparity in the strength of this battle is huge, and my uncle should see it clearly."

"If it weren't for me leading the troops, the defenders of Yanling City and my uncle would have been slaughtered!"

"After the slaughter, our army will burn, kill and loot Yanling City!"

"If my uncle is willing to lead the defenders to surrender, I guarantee that our army will take the food and gold and leave."

"As for the clan leader's entrustment?"

Jingpo sighed bitterly: "The situation is stronger than people, I think the clan leader can forgive us."

Huang Kuang smacked his lips and asked: "Does our army have plans to plunder?"

Peng Yue glared at Huang Kuang: "Before the expedition, the commander repeatedly reminded us to open the granary, money storehouse, and arsenal after taking the city, and burn important areas such as the county government office." "Then only take gold, food, arrows and weapons, and distribute the rest to the wild people outside the city." "Strictly prohibit our army from looting!" Among the two or five hundred commanders of the five fake captains of this army, three are bandits. How could Ying Chengjiao allow this army to loot at will? Isn't that like feeding raw meat to a tiger, for fear that it will not arouse its ferocity! Huang Kuang looked at Jingpo in confusion: "Why did Jingpo say that?"

Peng Yue also said uncertainly: "I think it's to give this man a reason to surrender?"

Ge Ping sneered: "Just a few hundred enemy soldiers, just kill them!"

"If we had the time to persuade them to surrender, our army might have slaughtered them all!"

Jing Luan sighed: "General, that's right!"

"For the safety of the people of Yanling, I am willing to surrender!"

Looking at Jing Luan who bowed loudly, Ge Ping was stunned.

Just, surrendered after a few words?

Are you so unconvinced!

Seeing that Jing Luan had surrendered, the family members and soldiers behind Jing Luan also hurriedly bowed:

"We are willing to surrender!"

Jing Po laughed happily and stepped forward: "Good! Very good!"

"This is indeed a wise choice!"

As he spoke, Jing Po helped Jing Luan up with both hands.

When the two approached, Jing Luan just whispered: "The clan leader must have known about this, right?"

Jingpo smiled and nodded: "Half a month ago, I talked about this with Aweng Yujudu."

Jingpo did not say whether Jingchou agreed.

But since Jingchou did not pass down the order to expel Jingpo from the clan, it means that Jingchou has tacitly agreed to this.

Jing Luan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jingpo with firm eyes: "Although Luan is powerless, he is willing to be the young clan leader... No, I am willing to die for the clan leader!"

The situation is now very clear.

Jingchou tacitly agreed that Jingpo would open another branch in Qin.

Jingpo decided to set the first battle in Yanling, obviously to absorb Jing Luan as a member of the Jing family of Qin.

From then on, Jingpo's identity was no longer the young clan leader of the Jing family of Chu, but the clan leader of the Jing family of Qin!

Jingpo squeezed Jingluan's arms and whispered: "Uncle was humiliated today."

"When my clan grows stronger, I will make my uncle regret his decision today!"

Standing up, Jingluan resumed his normal voice: "Although Luan is despised, I will be loyal to Qin after surrendering today."

"Luan and his more than 700 soldiers, 200 servants, and 15 descendants are willing to join our army and serve as our vanguard!"

Jingpo laughed heartily: "If we can get your service, our army will win!"

Watching the interaction between Jingpo and Jingluan, Peng Yue scratched his cheek and looked puzzled: "Why do I feel weird?"

Why do I feel like these two people are acting?

But on the battlefield, when two armies are fighting, can they still act?

Before Peng Yue could think about it, Jingpo had already pulled Jingluan towards the crowd and introduced him in a gentle voice: "This is the Duke of Yanling County, Jingluan."

"Jingluan is willing to lead his old troops to join our army as a vanguard. What do you think?"

Huang Kuang smacked his lips and was happy: "After this battle, our army's strength has not decreased but increased!"

Peng Yue looked at Jingpo deeply, and then said: "Since Lord Jing Erwubai has this intention, then let him join Lord Jing Erwubai's troops."

Jingluan was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you, generals!"

"I will ask people to open the granary, arsenal, and money warehouse, and draw carriages to assist in transportation."

"Generals, you must be exhausted after a long expedition."

"I will also ask people to boil water, cook delicious food, and vacate houses to reward the army!"

Jingpo's troops have crossed mountains and ridges for 700 miles, and they are already exhausted and dirty.

After hearing Jing Luan's arrangement, even Ge Ping, who had originally complained about Jing Luan's lobbying, was moved: "Isn't this bad?"

Jing Po nodded: "Our army is in the interior of Chu, and it is most important to be safe."

"Send someone to open the granary, arsenal, and money storehouse, and then boil water and cook, and there is no need to stay."

"Let the soldiers eat and drink enough, wipe their bodies, and then leave at night!"

Jing Luan did not force it, and immediately bowed: "Yes!"

Before dawn the next day, a brand new Qin-Qi coalition army left Yanling City openly and accelerated towards another city.

Under the joint leadership of Jing Po and Jing Luan, the Qin-Qi coalition army broke through two county towns in succession with almost no resistance, and easily captured eight townships and sixteen miles.

But even though the Qin-Qi coalition army paid great attention to concealing their whereabouts, and with the secret assistance of the Jing family, they were still traveling through the enemy's territory.

The good days lasted only six days.

Just after the Qin-Qi coalition army easily captured Lingfu City, a messenger rode back at full speed, shouting: "Report!"

"The Chu army was found twelve miles to the south!"

"There are about 20,000 soldiers!"

Huang Kuang was excited: "Finally they are here!"

"Our army happened to use the defense of Lingfu City to fight a decisive battle with the Chu army!"

However, Peng Yue stopped Huang Kuang and said in a deep voice: "This Chu army has 20,000 soldiers, but the troops that can be transferred from Chu are definitely more than 20,000."

"Once our army is trapped in Lingfu City, our army will be annihilated."

"The commander once said: If the enemy advances, we retreat; if the enemy stays, we harass; if the enemy is tired, we attack; if the enemy retreats, we chase!"

Peng Yue looked at the four Jingpo people and said in a deep voice: "Now that the enemy army is actively attacking, what our army should do is not to fight back."

"But retreat!"
