In fact, facing the current situation, Bi Hanlin would not have noticed it if it weren't for Qin He's reminder.
At this moment, Qin He also nodded slightly.
"If he can take Qinghe Prefecture directly, no matter whether he goes east, west or south, he can smash our formation into pieces."
"As a result, once our formation falls apart, it means we will be completely finished."
Qin He's words were not alarmist in any way.
Because now everything he says is true.
At least judging from the current situation, if Zeng Butcher really attacks, it will definitely give them a fatal blow.
In addition, since there has been no action for so long, it is obvious that something is being prepared. Otherwise, how could it be possible to wait for so long?
Thinking about it this way, what on earth is Butcher Zeng waiting for?
Even if Qin He didn't say this at this moment, Bi Hanlin had already thought of this and the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
What are they waiting for?
After a while, Qin He's eyes suddenly looked at Bi Hanlin who was standing aside, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
Bi Hanlin couldn't help but be slightly startled when Qin He saw him like this.
The next moment, Bi Hanlin seemed to have thought of something.
"They are waiting for us to be in Qinghe Prefecture at the same time!"
The next moment, Bi Hanlin and Qin He said this almost in unison.
And when the two of them finished speaking, a chill suddenly spread from their backs.
If before this, Zeng Tufu and the others did not take any action, it would be because they were not prepared...
So now that they are not moving, it is because Qin He and Bi Hanlin are separated.
But now both Qin He and Bi Hanlin are in Qinghe Prefecture.
This also means that the gathering of the two people gave Butcher Zeng an opportunity to take action.
When they thought of this, both Qin He and Bi Hanlin felt that this guy named Zeng was too crazy.
However, at this moment, the sound appeared, which immediately broke the atmosphere between the two of them.
"Report!"
When they heard the sound coming from outside the door, Qin He and Bi Hanlin's hearts trembled again.
"Come in."
Qin He lowered his voice and spoke.
The next moment, a militiaman walked into the room. Just from his face at this moment, it was not difficult to tell that it was definitely not good news.
Sure enough, the next moment the militiamen spoke.
"Replying to Lord Bingqin, according to news from the front, traces of the army heading south have been discovered."
When hearing this, Bi Hanlin and Qin He both had a wry smile on their faces.
It was exactly as Qin He guessed.
But judging from the current situation, it is obviously too late.
"How far are they from where they were found?"
The next moment, Qin He asked coldly.
When hearing this, the militiaman hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"Less than a hundred miles."
These four short words were like thunder, exploding directly in the hearts of Qin He and Bi Hanlin.
Judging from the current military strength around Qinghe Prefecture, it is almost impossible to stop the army heading south.
This means that now they can only defend Qinghe City.
Taking a deep breath, Qin He finally had no choice but to give the order.
"Order all teams to return to Qinghe Prefecture immediately!"
"In addition, send messengers to inform our brothers in other places of the situation here and ask them to come over immediately for reinforcements."
Qin He finally breathed out after giving two orders in succession.
Bi Hanlin on the other side only recovered from his surprise when he heard Qin He's two orders.
For Bi Hanlin, he did not expect that things would develop into the current situation.
It must be known that Nanyang City is at least four or five days away from them, of course, this is still at high speed.
If you want to really dispatch everyone here, it will take at least ten days of effort.
The only one closest to them is Li Yang.
It's just that the militia led by Li Yang fought at sea.
As for whether the combat capability will be greatly reduced now that it has been moved to land, this is still a question.
At the same time, the army heading to Yanyu Province was the main force, but it would take at least half a month to get over there.
This means that even if you are waiting for support, you still have to wait for ten days.
Although they are confident that they can hold on to the city for ten days without being breached, it does not mean that they will be able to break through the enemy's encirclement once the reinforcements arrive.
You know, there are only more than 10,000 troops in Nanyang City.
According to the news that came back, Zeng Tufu's men now have far more than 10,000 soldiers. Even if all the people in Qinghe City are included in the army, including Li Yang, they only have only 100,000 soldiers.
Although one hundred thousand people may seem like a lot, there is a problem facing us right now, and this problem is the most difficult and deadly problem today.
That is food.
To know that one hundred thousand people need to consume food in a day is already an astronomical figure.
What's more, there isn't much food stored in Qinghe City now.
Even if it is transported to East Qindao now, how much can be transported in one trip?
You must know that the army heading south now is only a hundred miles away from them.
According to this situation, it would only take three days at most to directly outflank Qinghe City.
Of course, Qin He and Bi Hanlin could choose to escape to Dong Qin Island.
But if this happens, it also means that the entire people in Qinghe City will become victims.
According to what Bi Hanlin said before, if the city gate was really breached by Butcher Zeng, with his character, no one knows whether the people of Qinghe City would be massacred.
So even in the current situation, Qin He had to choose to defend Qinghe City.
He couldn't leave. Once he left Qinghe City, it would mean that he had completely given up all his previous efforts.
Even if he was able to repel the southbound army in the end, he would have completely lost the hearts of the people.
For Qin He, he naturally did not want to see this scene.
Looking up at Bi Hanlin beside him, Qin He showed a wry smile on his face.
"General Bi, I hope you will return to Dongqin Island!"
When Qin He finished speaking, Bi Hanlin had a look of surprise on his face.
Because he didn't expect Qin He to say this at all.
When Bi Hanlin reacted and looked at Qin He again, a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Why don't you go back to Dong Qin Island?"
Hearing Bi Hanlin's words, Qin He smiled bitterly.
Finally, he said this calmly.
"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world!"
