His limbs felt weak, and for a moment he even felt that he could not lift his weapon.
At this time, he was leaning on the battlement, about to close his eyes and rest for a while, when Cao Ren came to him.
Seeing this, Le Jin was about to clasp his fists when he was stopped by the latter, "Brother Wen Qian, go to the city to rest. I will be here to guard it."
The former immediately shook his head and said, "How can I let you, Brother Cao, defend the city alone?
With me here, if there is any loss in the upcoming war, the other one will be able to continue leading the army in time."
Cao Ren fell silent and said nothing more.
Because they all knew very well that if the battle continued like this, it would not be long before the city was destroyed and people were killed.
At this moment, Le Jin suddenly sighed and said, "If only we had not evacuated all the people from this city from the very beginning when we fought the Jin army.
Perhaps we can still recruit some more troops, but now, we are guarding an empty city and I really don’t know how to defend it.”
The reason why the empty city must be defended is also very simple.
Shuozhou’s geographical location is very important.
It will directly affect the overall development of the war.
Cao Ren sat beside him, put his weapon aside, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"Before the war began, the strategy of Your Majesty and the King of Yan was to defend Youyun if possible, but if not, not to leave anything for the enemy, including the civilians.
They are all my Qin people. We should let them evacuate. Otherwise, our plan of clearing the land and extending the enemy's supply line will fail.
What's more, we march and fight to protect these civilians."
Le Jin nodded. He had only complained slightly just now.
Even if the people in the city did not evacuate, asking them, who have not been trained, to defend the city would most likely be courting death.
Suddenly, Le Jin asked, "The deadline Wu'an Jun gave us to defend the city is almost up, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Is there no reinforcements?"
Cao Ren frowned and said, "I don't know. Our scouts can't leave the city and go to the outside world, let alone know what the situation is outside."
Shuozhou City was surrounded by enemy troops on all sides.
The situation is critical.
