The state of Qi is known as a great power, especially after annexing the state of Lu and several small princes around it a few decades ago, its territory is far more vast than most of the other princes in the world, if only in terms of influence in this aspect, it can be called the first in the world.

However, such a behemoth, the level of combat effectiveness of its army, is really not flattering. Not only is there a lack of good generals, but even the army rarely has the opportunity to participate in a big war. This directly leads to the fact that once there is a difficulty, it is difficult to compete with a strong enemy.

As an important military town, more than 50,000 troops were gathered inside and outside Linzi City, and they were all personally commanded by General Zou Pu and were waiting for the Yan army on the opposite side. Ever since he received the news from the left flank defensive position half an hour ago, Zou Pu knew that something was wrong. And when he immediately gave the order for the garrison outside the city to immediately prepare for battle, the enemy attack suddenly began.

The Qi army, which refused to defend outside the city, soon fell into a panic in the face of the overwhelming number of enemies. The camp was breached one after another, and countless people were killed and wounded. Zou Pu, who was watching from the top of the city, could only watch anxiously, and after weighing with the generals and colonels, he still didn't dare to risk sending the troops in the city out to support.

For they could all see clearly that the enemy's cavalry units had not participated in the battle in the shouting and fighting outside the city, and they were staring at the edge of the battlefield, as if waiting to capture their prey at any time.

"General! Now what do we do? The more than 20,000 horses outside the city watched as they were wiped out? ”

Someone shouted in anger unwillingly, although he knew that going out to rescue would likely cause greater danger. But watching those comrades gradually die in the struggle with the enemy, it is sad and indignant after all.

Of course, Zou Pu's heart was even more uncomfortable. The bad news he had just received not long ago had already made him restless. If the defeat of the left front can no longer be reversed, then there is no doubt that the most important logistical supply line of the Qi army will be cut off. If the nearly 100,000 troops of the Taiyue defense line are short of supplies, everyone knows what the consequences will be waiting for them. And the large-scale fierce attack launched by the enemy in front of him made it clear that the defense force of Linzi City was to be further weakened, and the battle situation was worrying!

"If we send troops out of the city now, the enemy cavalry will immediately pounce, but only add more losses! Pass the order down, let them go back, for the sake of today, the only way to preserve as much living force as possible is to protect this Linzi City! ”

Zou Pu, who finally made up his mind, was full of bitterness and helplessness in the orders he spoke. There's really no way! The military strength is not comparable to others, what can he do as a general?

"But...... Checkmate! If the defense outside the city is abandoned, then Linzi will be an isolated city. What if you are surrounded by enemies? ”

The generals and captains looked nervously at the outside of the city, they all knew very well in their hearts that the whole Qi country had put all their hopes on the Taiyue defense line, and if they couldn't stop the enemy's advance, then there would really be no more hope.

"Don't worry about anything else, the lives of the soldiers should not be sacrificed in vain. They have families waiting just like you and me! "There was sadness on everyone's faces. War is so cruel, and the strength of military strength directly determines the fate of the country and everyone.

A quarter of an hour later, the Qi troops outside the city, who had received the order to retreat, began to retreat back into the city in a swarm. The archers at the head of the city, constantly firing arrows, trying to get as much cover as possible for them, was the only thing they could do. Of the 20,000 or 30,000 people stationed outside the city to defend it, only half of them were able to escape into the city. The others, either dead or wounded, were killed outside the city.

By the time the living people had fled, all the city gates were closed, and all the outside of Linzi had been occupied by the enemy. This time, the Qin Yan army carried out the clearing of the periphery, from the beginning to the end, it took less than two hours. It can be said that it was crisp and neat, exactly as expected, and did not encounter any too strong resistance.

Mu Xueqing, who was covered in armor, led his cavalry, and he never had the opportunity to participate in the battle. The low combat effectiveness of the Qi army did not make him feel too much joy. On the contrary, against such an enemy army, he felt only bored.

As a world-famous general, he is eager to meet real opponents and have a hearty battle. However, now it seems that it is likely to be difficult to achieve his wish before the defeat of the Qi State. Although this can achieve great achievements faster, there will be regrets in the bottom of my heart. In such a large Qi country, is there really no one who is worthy of a war?

"General Mu, the Tiezhong Quinoa Flying Cavalry has come to report, they have defeated the left flank of the Qi army according to the predetermined plan, and the defense line over there has been completely controlled in their hands."

After receiving the news of the victory, Mu Xueqing, who was under the banner of hunting, nodded calmly after a few hurried glances on the horse. Dividing the troops to attack and cut off the way behind is a move he has planned a long time ago. If the Great Qin cavalry can't even complete this simple task, then it is not worthy of being called the division of a hundred battles under his personal command!

"Quickly send an order to General Tie to know, and let him do his best to kill the living force of the Qi army. Then, firmly guard the transportation channel, and not a single grain of grain is allowed to be put over...... From now on, I want to make Linzi City a dead city! ”

The herald answered loudly and flew away. Soon after, General Yan, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, rushed over and reported the situation of the battlefield to the commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the two countries. In this battle outside the city, all the Yan troops were dispatched and achieved the greatest victory. The destruction of nearly 10,000 Qi troops in a war was already a very boastful thing for them.

"General Mu, the army of the Qi State is too weak! Taking advantage of the excitement of the army, we might as well go all out and directly capture this Linzi City! ”

The successive victories along the way have made the general of Yan very proud, and his self-confidence has also swelled extraordinarily. However, in the face of the famous generals of the Qin State in front of him, he still maintained a very respectful attitude. Because he and all the Yan army generals knew very well that it was precisely because of the help of the Qin army that they could become so powerful. Especially under the unified command of Mu Xueqing, it is simply surprisingly victorious, and everything is overcome! No one dares to be rude in front of this famous general.

"It's just a Linzi city, it's as easy as a palm! But that's not what I'm trying to do. From now on, order the army to surround the city. The general is calm and impatient, there is still a battle to fight in the future! Hehe! ”

Mu Xueqing's expression was indifferent, and she already had a plan for victory in her chest. The general of the Yan Kingdom wanted to ask more details, but he secretly glanced at the coldness between the other party's eyebrows, but he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly obeyed the order.

Mu Xueqing was immediately in the autumn wind, his robe was flying, and he calmly looked at the majestic city wall in front of him. What he said was not an exaggeration at all. With the current comparison of the strength of the two armies, it is not impossible to break through the city in a few days. It's just that he, who has already taken thirty-six cities, has readjusted his combat strategy. He wanted to finish his work in one battle, using Linzi City as a bait, waiting for the rescue of the Qi army in this area.

Mu Xueqing realized the importance of Linzi City from a very early stage. Its status in the hearts of the people of Qi can be called second only to Canghai Wangcheng. Once such an important city is in danger, no matter what aspect it is, the King of Qi and his royal ministers will definitely send troops to rescue it. There are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qi country, and if you fight all the way, you don't know how much effort it will take. Instead of being so time-consuming and labor-intensive, why not wait here and let the army of Qi come by itself?

In a sense, Linzi City is a huge trap he set for the people of Qi. He wants to use the 40,000 army in his hands to wipe out all the Qi troops who came to the rescue here. That's what he's trying to achieve in the end!

Sending elite cavalry to cut off the logistics supply of Linzi City is a very important first step. Now that the other side has been completed, it means that his plan is half successful. The next thing to do is to boost the morale of the officers and men of the whole army, and wait for the ensuing strangulation.

"After the whole army surrounds Linzi City, immediately go and notify the Tiezhong Quinoa Department, and order them to always pay attention to the reinforcements of the Qi State, and if the enemy appears, no matter where it comes from, immediately report the news."

The flying horses went one after another, and the military orders were like fire, and the comings and goings were endless. It's just that whether it was Zou Pu, the worried general of Qi in the city, or Mu Xueqing, who had a chance of winning outside the city, they definitely didn't expect that at this moment, on another battlefield dozens of miles away, it was already a sudden storm, changing rapidly, victory and defeat, life and death, in a way that no one had ever thought of.

Under the blood-stained mountain mausoleum, General Tian Feng, a nobleman of Qi who had already made up his mind to die, used his last strength, raised his long knife, and stabbed the oncoming cavalry off his horse. But at the same time, the huge impact of the war horse also knocked him out hard. Although he was wearing full-body armor, he was already spitting blood from his mouth, and even several ribs were broken.

Tian Feng struggled to get up with a knife, and several personal guards desperately blocked in front of him, blocking several chopped knives for him. Blood splattered, life withered. Until now, dead people are all over the mountains. And those black-armored cavalry are coming and going, with cold blades, and there is a momentum that they will not stop until they are all killed.

I will die here today! Tian Feng sighed and waved his knife to fight again. The iron in the opposite side smiled and urged the horse to raise his sword, and was about to cut off his head.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the side, and at the exit of the nearby valley, thousands of horsemen rode out of the abyss like dragons and snakes, and the whirlwind rose from the ground, killing them in the blink of an eye.
