Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Everything in the city will remain as it is. The flag will be changed to that of Hongshang Commandery. We will reorganize it after I conquer the entire Shanlian Empire."

The corner of the guard's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that this man is really loud. Eight hundred people want to conquer the entire Shanlian Empire?

"General Sima is mighty! It's only a matter of time before we conquer the Shanlian Empire! I wonder if we need to send some troops to accompany him?"

Believe it or not, but the guard himself definitely didn't want to be Lin Yi's enemy, so he was very enthusiastic, wishing that Lin Yi could take away all his troops.

It's a pity that Lin Yi didn't look down on his men at all. He just waved his hands and without saying a word, he accelerated forward with his men and horses, passed directly through the city, and rushed out through the gate on the other side.

Just as Lin Yi said, this time he just passed by and surrendered a city!

"General, is there anything wrong with us doing this?"

The guard general climbed up the city wall and watched Lin Yi and the 800 personal guard battalion go away. The deputy general beside him came closer and whispered: "The empire is powerful. If we are held accountable, we will probably be killed by the three tribes!"

"Great momentum? Hahaha!"

The guard let out a sharp laugh, which was full of ridicule: "Even Taifu Yuwen Wuji is finished, what trump card does the emperor have?"

"Small countries are fighting for soldiers, horses, food and grass, while big countries are fighting for high-end military force! The strongest Taifu Yuwen Wuji has been killed, and the Shanlian Empire has been defeated! Why should we, low-level soldiers, use our arms like a chariot?"

"The situation is over..."

The lieutenant general was silent as he listened to his chief's sigh. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and looked up at the vast sky - the Shanlian Empire was about to change!

After Lin Yi led his troops out of the city, the guard ordered the entire city to change its flags, break away from the Shanlian Empire and become a territory of Hongshang County. At the same time, he conveyed the news of the deaths of Yuwen Wuji, Shanpao and Shanji.

Of course, the most important thing is the news of Yuwen Wuji's death. The other two are not important at all and are just mentioned in passing.

Maybe Shante really lost the hearts of the world, or maybe there were too many smart people in Shanlian Empire, so Lin Yi's next trip went unexpectedly smoothly.

I thought I would have to kill all directions along the way, pass hundreds of passes and kill thousands of generals, and slaughter tens of millions of troops before I could reach the imperial capital. What was the result?

Wherever Lin Yi went, all the cities looked down!

No need to say anything at all, even before approaching the city, the defender inside led the defenders to greet them from a distance, demanding surrender.

It’s okay not to accept it!

If Lin Yi didn't accept it, they would dare to raise the knife... and put it on his neck to force him to death!

They were obviously from the Shanlian Empire, but they had to be said to be from the Hongshang Commandery. Lin Yi couldn't force the folks from the Hongshang Commandery to die, right?

What the hell are these folks from Hongshang County!

There is an entire Long Kingdom titled Kingdom between Hongshang County and here!

Lin Yi was speechless about this. When he surrendered the first city, he didn't think too much about it. He thought it would be good to give Hongshang County an entire enclave here, so that it could take over the entire Shanlian Empire in the future. Build a bridgehead.

Unexpectedly, the bridgeheads were directly connected into one large area, and they were on the fast track to annexing the Shanlian Empire.

In comparison, Hongshang County's main territory, which is a bigger place, is now more like an insignificant enclave...

No matter what, Lin Yi and the soldiers of the Guard Battalion had a smooth journey and arrived near the imperial capital in a relaxed and happy manner.

Let alone a big battle, there was no chance to draw the sword.

Seeing that the tall city walls of the Imperial Capital were already in sight, Liu Ziyu approached Lin Yi with a complicated expression: "Cousin Zhongda, do you think the people from the Imperial Capital would also open the city and surrender?"

The eight hundred blood ghosts went on an expedition to the Shanlian Empire, fought continuously, and killed countless enemies. This is the correct way to open the script. It always feels a little weird to go through this without any bloodshed!

Even a character like Liu Ziyu can't help but start looking forward to a real battle!

It's just that if there was a real fight, there might be casualties, so Liu Ziyu felt a little complicated.

"It shouldn't be the case. After all, the Imperial City is the core of the Shanlian Empire. The emperor's home city and the defensive strength in terms of quantity and quality are not comparable to other places."

Lin Yi touched his chin and looked unsure: "With a strong city in hand, elite soldiers and generals, and countless masters, how can the emperor of the Shanlian Empire know how to fight, right?"

What's more, the people in the imperial capital, whether they are soldiers or civilians, should be more loyal to the emperor than elsewhere and would not surrender easily.

While talking, the cavalry was still advancing rapidly and soon arrived at the city.

Sure enough, the gates of the imperial capital were tightly closed, the walls were lined with swords and guns, and the battlements were all filled with cold arrows, pointing in the direction of Lin Yi and others.

"Haha, it seems they really have no intention of surrendering!"

Liu Ziyu grinned, and couldn't tell whether he was feeling regretful, happy, or both: "Cousin Zhongda, are we going to fight a siege?"

Lin Yi said nothing, because the Imperial Capital had already responded. A row of arrows flew down through the air and landed neatly about twenty steps in front of the guard camp. This was the Imperial Capital's pressure.

As long as the guard battalion enters the line laid down by the arrows, they will be hit by the arrows like a storm.

After the position was secured, the imperial capital city gate opened wide, and a team of infantry wearing khaki armor poured out neatly and quickly, forming a formation outside the city gate. The final total number was about five thousand.

"Ha... It seems that the emperor of the Shanlian Empire is not willing to defend the city and wants to have a head-on battle with us first!"

Lin Yi chuckled and shook his head, not paying much attention to the team of five thousand people: "Tzuyu, what do you think of the strength of these people on the opposite side?"

"The enemy's army advances and retreats in an orderly manner, moves neatly and quickly, and has a tight formation. It is a strong army!"

Liu Ziyu's face turned solemn and he solemnly commented: "It's hard to judge yet how effective the team is, but it should be a pretty powerful team!"

There is one thing Liu Ziyu didn't say. In his heart, the strongest army is of course the guard camp behind him, or in other words, the guard camp commanded by Lin Yi!

His vision is no longer what it used to be, so he can easily see that the opponent's team in khaki armor is very powerful!

If Lin Yi was not there and he was the only one to lead the assault with the guards battalion, regardless of the outcome, there would definitely be damage!

"They are indeed a strong army, look at the banner they put up!"

Lifting his chin slightly, Lin Yi motioned Liu Ziyu to look at the battle flag on the opposite side that was not fully unfolded.

It's a breeze today, so the battle flags are drooping. Only when the flag bearer runs, will they stretch out a little.

Liu Ziyu had also noticed it, but didn't see it clearly before.
