The Qin army did not move, and the defense preparations made in Pei County were temporarily useless. Knowing this situation, Yang Lin immediately ordered all the soldiers to return to the camp to rest and recuperate, leaving only a few hundred people to guard the city tower as a warning.

Then he asked Zhou Bo to continue sending out scouts to monitor the Qin army's movements throughout the day, and report to him immediately if any abnormalities were discovered.

Yang Lin then returned to the county government. He felt worried about the Qin army's unusual movements. This feeling of not being able to guess what the other party was thinking made him faintly uneasy. After all, the Qin army was already strong and had more people than the Pei army.

Doubling the previous number, if we were to attack the city, we should have fought today. If we were not to attack the city, we should not camp outside Peixian County. It would only be understandable if we returned to Xiangxian County.

After thinking about it, Yang Lin couldn't imagine the intention of the county captain at all. Since he couldn't guess, he was lucky not to think about it. The soldiers came to block the water and cover up the soil. Pei County City is here, and there is no way to escape. No matter what the county captain does, he can't escape.

Just wait quietly for the situation to change.

Fortunately, the scouts have been sent out now, so he can know immediately if there is any change in the Qin army. Then he looked at the sky, and after having dinner with Lu Pheasant and Yang Mu, Yang Lin went to the military camp to visit Cao Shen.

Yong Chi and other generals burst into tears when they saw Yang Lin. As the lord, Yang Lin was concerned about their injuries. As a subordinate, how could he not be moved?

In Sishui County, following the order from the messenger, the sixteen counties in the county (there was an error in the previous chapter, Sishui County is 16 counties, not 13 counties), excluding Pei County, Qiao County and Xiang County, the remaining thirteen

Counties received orders one after another. After receiving the order, the county magistrates and county lieutenants immediately mobilized 500 Qin troops to defend the city and assemble at the county lieutenants' camp. Among them, Pengcheng, Xiaoxian, Liuxian, etc., which are closer to Peixian, etc.

From the county seat, it only takes more than a day to reach the Junwei Military Camp.

In this way, two days later, Li Ba also led 2,000 people from Qiao County to arrive yesterday. Today, there are more than 4,000 defenders in Pei County, with sufficient food, water, and weapons. Even though it is known that the Qin army still does not have

Any movement, but with the Qiao County army brought by Li Ba, Yang Lin felt a little more at ease.

However, in the Junwei camp, the Qin army supported by Pengcheng, Xiao County and other places has also arrived, and the number of the entire Qin army has also increased from 4,000 elites to more than 6,000 people. In the dense forest a few miles away from the military camp, Pei

Seeing this, the military scouts immediately rode their horses back to Pei County. This matter was so important that the scouts did not dare to delay.

In the county government office, Yang Lin, who was discussing the Qin army's sudden movements with Li Ba and Zhou Bo, heard the news from the scouts. He immediately stood up in surprise, and then paced around the hall uneasily.

"Lord, aren't there just over 6,000 people? We have a city to rely on. More than 4,000 people are not inferior to 6,000 people at all. Why should we be so worried?" Li Ba said in confusion. In his opinion, now

The defense force of Peixian County is not weak, and the soldiers have also been baptized by battles, coupled with daily rigorous training, even if they are not as good as the elites of the Qin army, they are at least slightly stronger than ordinary Qin soldiers.

With more than a thousand people defending the city, Pei County can be protected.

But Yang Lin waved and shook his head. He sighed and said: "The thing that worries me the most has happened. I have always been worried that the county captain will concentrate all the power in Sishui County to conquer us. Unexpectedly, this time it has been verified.

This idea. No wonder the commander-in-chief has been holding back his troops these days. In fact, he is mobilizing the Qin troops from various counties in the county."

Then, he looked at Li Ba and said: "If there are only 6,000 people, Pei County City can still be defended for a period of time, but it is impossible for the county captain not to know this, so according to my guess, there will definitely be others later."

If this is the case with the support of the Qin army in the county, how can we, the defenders of Peixian County, be able to hold on?"

After hearing this analysis, both Li Ba and Zhou Bo knew that the seriousness of the matter was beyond their imagination. Li Ba angrily cursed: "tnnd, for our Peixian County, is this an old boy like a county lieutenant going to do this?"

Yang Lin sighed solemnly, Peixian County was a worry for the lieutenant of Sishui County. If the Wei army had not attacked last time and the lieutenant could not move away, Peixian County would not have had a chance to breathe.

"Lord, if this is the case, what should our army do?" Zhou Bo asked with worries on his steady face, cupping his hands.

"Lord, according to my opinion, if this is not possible this time, it is better for our army to move. This is still much better than being attacked by the commander's menacing force." Li Ba suggested.

"Transfer?" Yang Lin raised his eyebrows. This plan was indeed a good one, but it would suffer for the people of Peixian County.

However, at this moment, a soldier came anxiously to report: "Your Majesty, the Qin army is besieging the city."

"What?" Yang Lin and the others felt a huge wave in their hearts, and then Yang Lin asked hurriedly: "The Qin army has arrived at the city?"

The soldiers did not dare to hide it and immediately said again: "Exactly, at this time, the towers on all sides are surrounded by the Qin army."

"The Qin army moved so fast, why didn't our scouts come to report?" Yang Lin asked solemnly again.

The soldiers looked worried and reported: "None of our scouts have returned to the city. I guess they have been killed by the Qin army."

"Lord..." Zhou Bo took a step forward.

Yang Lin looked at him and immediately ordered: "Quickly order the entire army to rush to the city tower to defend. In addition, let Lu Wen summon the people of the county to assist in the defense. This time the Qin army is coming so fiercely that our army alone cannot resist it."

.”

"No!" Zhou Bo immediately accepted the order, and then hurriedly left the county government and returned to the military camp to mobilize troops. After that, he ordered someone to inform Lu Taigong and pass on Yang Lin's instructions.

"Li Ba, follow me to the city tower." Yang Lin said to Li Ba next to him. The latter heard the words, nodded, and followed Yang Lin to the Peixian city tower.

Outside Peixian City, behind the Qin army, County Supervisor Ping looked at Peixian City. He remembered the last time when he followed the previous County Supervisor Ping to attack Pei County City as a deputy general. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. At this time, he looked at the people in front of him.

Chengchi, filled with pride in his heart, said: "Yang Lin, Yang Lin, I said I would come back, let's see how you defend this time?"

Then, the county supervisor Ping rode his horse to the county captain's side, raised his hands and said: "The county captain had foresight. In order to prevent the rebels from escaping, he led six thousand soldiers of Da Qin to besiege the city. This time, the Yanglin rebels had no chance of escaping.

Already."

The county lieutenant nodded in agreement. He stroked his beard and said with a faint smile: "We have accomplished a great service by wiping out this traitor this time."

"Jun Lieutenant, since the city has been besieged at this time, should we attack the city?" Jian Ping asked again with his hands raised.

The county lieutenant waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, it won't be too late to attack the city after the remaining county soldiers arrive tomorrow. Today our army only needs to surround the city to prevent the rebels from escaping. Attack the city.

It won’t take more than one day.”

"No! I understand, the general, it's the county captain who thought it through." The county supervisor Ping flattered him and said with a smile.

"Order the entire army to camp outside the city of Peixian County. In addition, all armies should be on guard for anti-military movements in the city of Peixian County." The county lieutenant gave the order as calmly as if he were sitting on a Diaoyutai. In his opinion, the city of Peixian County was already within easy reach at this time. Yang Lin

It's just a cooked duck that can't fly with its wings.

County Supervisor Ping immediately gave the order. Under the leadership of generals at all levels, the Qin army, surrounded by buildings on all sides, began to set up tents outside the city and bury pots to make rice.

On the upper floor of Peixian City, Yang Lin looked at the black-armored Qin Army and felt worried. This time, under the arrangement of the county lieutenant, the Qin Army did not rush to attack the city. With such an advantage, they could be so calm, which made Yang Lin even more impressed.

The commander-in-chief is worthy of being a general of the Qin Dynasty. This is the true strength of the Qin army. Compared with the previous commanders Ping and Zhou Shi, the commander-in-chief's ability goes without saying.

"Lord, the Qin army doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the city. If this is the case, it will be very detrimental to our army." Zhou Bo also came to the tower at this time, and he analyzed anxiously.

"Well!" Yang Lin said in a deep voice: "The Qin Army's lieutenants are quite clever. If the Qin Army does not attack the city, our army still needs to be on guard. As a result, our soldiers will be exhausted. In addition, as I expected,

If it is true, he is also waiting for more reinforcements to arrive tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Ba became anxious and said angrily in a voice like thunder: "What a cunning lieutenant, Lord, we can't sit back and wait for death like this."

Yang Lin looked at Li Ba and said approvingly: "You know better than to just sit back and wait for death."

Li Ba touched his fluffy hair and said with a smile: "That's what I said. As for how to do it, I still need the master's instructions."

"Yes, my lord, how to break this situation now requires your order, lord." Zhou Bo also agreed.

Yang Lin looked at these two people, and then whispered instructions in their ears.

Hearing this, both of them were surprised. Li Ba said again in a voice like thunder: "My lord, this plan is very clever. I, Li Ba, am willing to be the vanguard."

Zhou Bo also asked for orders, raised his hands and said: "My lord, Zhou Bo is willing to accept the order."

Yang Lin looked at Zhou Bo, waved his hand and said, "This matter is still left to Li Ba. You need to be in charge of Pei County."

When Li Ba heard this, he immediately accepted the order, "Li Ba will definitely live up to his lord's trust."

"Go down and make arrangements, and leave the city at night." Yang Lin ordered again, and then he found Lu Taigong and ordered the latter to evacuate the people. Now that he knew the county captain's wishful thinking, he let everyone rest and recuperate.

Looking forward to tomorrow's battle with full energy.

The two sides faced each other, and the war was about to break out. Both sides also chose to rest quietly in tacit understanding. Each side had its own plans, and no one wanted to fight today. However, it was precisely because of this that Yang Lin

See a glimmer of hope.

As the order went down, the Qin army camp and Peixian city were full of smoke, and the soldiers were looking for a break in the tension. The calm night was especially quiet. At the west gate of Peixian city, four thousand Pei troops quietly assembled. Yang Lin looked at

Everyone said to Li Ba: "Let's go, it's up to you whether you can disrupt the Qin army's deployment."

"Lord, don't worry, I, Li Ba, understand." Then he led people to open the city gate, and four thousand people rushed out of the city gate.

Yang Lin said to Zhou Bo again: "How are you preparing here?"
