The sun sets, and the boundless sky is painted with the color of blood. Zou Pu, who had been standing on the city wall for a long time, had a depressed look on his face that became more and more serious.

The sound of trumpets and the neighing of war horses from time to time outside the city made people distracted. And the enemy's fluttering banners and endless camps seem to have no end in sight. The autumn breeze is bleak, adding to the chill.

The soldiers are approaching the city and are about to reach the edge of the trench. Linzi City has been surrounded by enemy troops, and all external passages have been blocked. Since the defeat of the Qi army and the retreat into the city, this important military town has been cut off from the inside and outside and has become a dead city.

Zou Pu was full of sadness and sighed. If he does not understand the intentions of the enemy by now, then he is too stupid. Obviously, the enemy generals have changed their tactics, and they are no longer just attacking cities and fighting quickly. Today, under the premise that there is already a great hope for the defeat of the Qi State, their combat goal is likely to change to a steady and steady battle, gradually eliminating the living force of the Qi army.

If this is really the case, then the nearly 100,000 troops trapped in Linzi City will be very dangerous. Zou Pu, who wanted to understand this, already regretted accepting King Qi's order very much in his heart. If you are not careful, your own defeat and death is still a trivial matter, and you can't keep this Linzi City, and then let the enemy break through the Taiyue defense line, drive straight in, and the Canghai King City is in danger! Qi Guoshe is in danger!

Grief and anger are followed by sadness. Such a big Qi country has been reduced to the point that it really can't find a great general! It's ridiculous to say. The total Qi army of the entire Taiyue defense line was nearly 200,000, but in the face of the enemy's more than 40,000 troops, they were helpless, and they were defeated in successive battles, and they did not even have a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, this grievance of General Zou Pu was alleviated shortly after. Because the Qi army finally heard the exact news, these guys who attacked the Qi country all the way were not the simple Yan army at all, and there were the most elite cavalry of the Qi country among them. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that the person who commanded them is said to be Mu Xueqing, a famous general of the Qin State!

"No wonder our Qi army lost 36 cities in a row without a single victory...... It turned out that Mu Xueqing personally led the troops! So, will Linzi City be the thirty-seventh city defeated by his sword? ”

Zou Pu, whose face was full of bitterness, looked at his subordinates and colonels, looking at each other, no one could think of a better way. The huge gap in strength cannot be bridged by other things. Mu Xueqing is known as one of the most famous generals in the world, and his military methods are unpredictable. As long as they hear about his prestige, they don't have to fight first, and everyone is already afraid.

Will Linzi City be the thirty-seventh city that Mu Xueqing's war horse stepped into? Although they all knew that this sentence was nothing more than the general's masochism and self-deprecation, the generals and captains standing at the head of the city were all related. They knew very well that if the current situation continued, not only would Linzi City fall quickly, but it would also be difficult to save the lives of their people.

"General, the latest news has come from the headquarters of General Tian Feng on the left flank defense line, they will fight the enemy to the end, no matter whether they can regain control of that area or not, they will definitely fight to the last man, and they will not die."

Hearing the sergeant's report, Zou Pu waved his hand heavily, indicating that he understood. Naturally, there is no shortage of strong men in the Qi country, but what is the use of them dying in vain! An army commanded by a general who lacks great military talent is nothing more than a rabble, and the blood of strong men, even if it is a river of blood, will quickly dry up.

"General! So what do we do? It's sticking to ...... Or backwards? ”

Black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the offensive was like a mountain. Many pairs of eyes looked at the enemy troops trapped on the outskirts of the city with anxiety, looking for a final answer.

However, their generals, like all of them, did not know what was the best option. Trapped in the fortified city, if you can't wait for rescue in a short time, it must be a dead end. But if you want to go back now, I'm afraid it's already a little late. With Mu Xueqing's military methods, he is likely to have already arranged everything, just waiting for someone to crash out and throw himself into the net!

"Or ...... Wait and see! The Taiyue defense line is extremely important, and I believe that King Qi will not sit idly by. The order went down, and the head of the city was on guard day and night, in case the enemy could surprise and break the city at any time. Let's hope we can hold out until reinforcements arrive! ”

Zou Pu reluctantly made the final decision. Relatively speaking, this is the safest approach at the moment. The generals under his command sighed and obeyed the order to go their separate ways. Zou Pu then ordered the soldiers and the people in the city to economize on the use of supplies and food. Now that the logistical supply has been cut off, the next step is to prepare for being trapped for a long time.

Unlike the tense atmosphere inside the city, in the large camp that had just been set up outside the city, the generals from the Qin and Yan kingdoms gathered together to carry out a temporary small-scale celebration.

Mu Xueqing, who took off her armor, looked a little thin. If you didn't know his identity in advance, when you first looked at it, he seemed to be inconspicuous among this group of burly generals.

However, when he raised his head, the edge in his eyes flashed, and the feeling of being as sharp as a knife made no one dare to look at him.

Whether it was the generals of the Yan State or the subordinates of the Qin State, they were all respectful to the famous general sitting in the middle, and they did not dare to be rude in the slightest. Although it is a celebration, it is not served with the food and wine as expected. Everyone just has an extra piece of boiled meat in front of them, which is an extra treat.

Alcohol was strictly forbidden in the army, and no one dared to expect a sip. And in such a situation, it is already a privilege to be able to get the pieces of meat distributed by General Mu Xueqing himself. Especially the generals of Yan Kingdom were extremely excited. If you talk to people in the future, you have also sat at the same table with Mu Xueqing and been polite by him personally, it can be regarded as a boast.

On such a private occasion, Mu Xueqing lost the majesty of the famous generals on the battlefield and looked very easy-going. He ate meat with everyone, drank soup together, and listened to the compliments of the generals, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Not long ago, I just received the battle situation of the Iron Quinoa Division. They already had full control over the intended area. The Qi army was defeated and was being pursued. If the cavalry of the Qin State acted fast enough, I believe that the twenty or thirty thousand Qi troops would not be able to escape the fate of being killed.

If we add to this the absolute victory he has just won outside Linzi City, the battle plan he has drawn up is being smoothly and gradually realized. After cutting off the logistical supply of the Qi army, it will not take too long to wait too long, and it will be difficult for the Linzi City in front of you and the entire Taiyue defense line to hold on. And at that time, under the attack of Qin Yan's absolute superiority, the Qi army will be self-defeating, and the period of defeat is not far away!

The victory came so easily, and the morale of the officers and men in the army was high. This is how it is to fight a war, the more you win the battle, the smoother the battle, and the smoother the battle, the more you will win and not be defeated. This is Mu Xueqing's deep experience over the years. And this time he attacked Qi and went down to thirty-six cities in one go, which is the best example.

"General, since Linzi City has been besieged, how long will it take for the Qi army to come to the rescue? If you wait too long, and the soldiers have no battles to fight, it will be too boring...... Ha ha! ”

General Yan Guo was a big beard, and his mouth was full of oil, and he asked excitedly. He was convinced by this famous general of the Qin State. followed him all the way to victory, and in his military career, it can be regarded as a great glory. No matter what the future holds, it is already appropriate to receive a grand reward from King Yan this time!

Mu Xueqing smiled faintly. He knew very well the mood of these generals and colonels who were in a hurry to fight. In fact, even if it is himself, why not want to fight quickly. It's just that his goal is no longer the gain or loss of this city and place, but to seize the entire Qi country and make a unique feat!

"Don't be in a hurry. The soldiers have been fighting for so long, and it is time to take a good rest. Take this opportunity to recharge your batteries. When the big war comes again, no matter how many enemies come, I hope you will be able to destroy them with one blow! As long as the living force of the Qi army is almost wiped out, our whole army will march forward, a thousand miles in a day, break through the sea, and enter the royal city, just around the corner! ”

Although the words he said were understated, they were like thunder in the ears of the generals, full of endless power. Everyone agreed together, and there was a thunderous thunderstorm. And the brave men inside and outside the camp also raised their long knives, struck the breastplate, and sang in harmony.

At this time, more than a dozen remnants of cavalry came from a distance, and the knights, who were covered with wounds, threw themselves off their horses and ran into the camp.

After a quarter of an hour, the cheering camp fell silent. There was a sudden bad news that made everyone who heard it stand still in shock, almost not believing the news of this failure.

"What...... Say it again! ”

Even a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles suddenly heard such news, and he lost his mind for a moment. Originally, sending troops to control the logistics supply channel of the Qi army was the first step of his overall plan, and there was absolutely no room for failure. But now these guys who escaped death actually said that the five thousand cavalry led by Tie Zhong Quinoa were all wiped out?

Almost all of the people who were lucky enough to rush back to report the news were seriously injured. When I finally saw their general, I couldn't hold on any longer, and I couldn't help but fall down together and cry on the ground.

"General! We have already won a great victory, and we are about to kill all the armies of the Qi State. However, the cavalry of Zhao suddenly appeared, and under surprise, the whole army was killed, and even General Tie Zhong died at the hands of Zhao Jun...... O General! Be sure to avenge the Iron General and his dead brothers! ”

"How could the cavalry of the Zhao State suddenly appear here...... Do you know who their general is? ”

"General Qiyu! It was King Zhao who personally led the troops, with a total of less than 10,000 horses! ”

Mu Xueqing's eyes were shining, and he got up and clenched the long sword in his hand.
