Li Mu is heading south.

Although it is said that most of the Northland County has returned to the hands of the Qin State, the Qin people did not deploy too many men on the Great Wall defense line on the Qin-Zhao border in the northernmost part of the Northland County.

For such a large army of 50,000 cavalry, the Great Wall defense line was meaningless.

Accompanied by the billowing black smoke of the beacon towers, Li Mu came all the way to the outside of Yiqu City.

About twenty miles away from Yiqu City, Li Mu specially summoned Yiqu Sheng and said a word to Yi Qu Sheng.

"You have to be mentally prepared."

To be honest, Yiqusheng didn't quite understand what Li Mu meant at that time, but by this time Yiqusheng understood.

The city of Yiqu has been destroyed.

Wang Jian obviously knew very well the fact that it was impossible for the Qin State to hold Yiqu City after his main force left, so when Wang Jian moved eastward, the chief general of the Qin army did something that he had done in vain and Li Mu had also done.

As he was leaving, a fire burned down the city of Yiqu.

Yiqu Sheng looked at Yiqu City, which was reduced to ruins, and the whole person was stunned.

As a Yiqu person, Yiqu Sheng is undoubtedly very affectionate for the ancestral land of Yiqu City.

In fact, over the years, due to the entanglement between the Yiqu people and the Qin State, they have actually been influenced by many Central Plains civilizations, such as the establishment of a temple in the city of Yiqu, which enshrines the ancestral tablets of the ancestors of the previous kings of Yiqu.

But now those things have been burned to ashes by a fire.

Yi Qusheng stared at the ruins in front of him, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Not only Yiqu Sheng, but also many of the Yiqu cavalry in the Zhao army were also shocked by the scene they saw, they either howled angrily, or roared angrily, and some even pulled out knives and cut their faces, making their blood flow.

Li Mu sighed and gently patted Yi Qusheng's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will help you out with this breath." ”

Yiqu Sheng was stunned, and only after a while did he jump off his horse and bow a few times towards the ruins of Yiqu City in front of him.

After worshipping, Yi Qusheng pulled out a knife from his waist and slammed it into his left arm, piercing a deep wound.

The blood flowed, but Yiqu Sheng was completely unmoved, but was very sad to chant something with some strange melody.

Li Mu, who has been in contact with Yiqu Sheng for a long time, heard that this was actually the lament of Yiqu people when they said goodbye to relatives and friends.

After completing the ceremony, Yiqusheng returned to Li Mu's face, and said to Li Mu word by word: "In the name of the gods, I, Yiqusheng and Wang Qian, will never die!" ”

Li Mu looked at Yiqu Sheng with a sad face, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Don't worry, we will defeat Wang Qian." ”

Yi Qusheng nodded, his eyes were extremely cold: "At that time, I will cut off his head with my own hands!" ”

……

Just when Yiqu Sheng swore to kill Wang Qian, Wang Jian was under Shaoliang City, two or three hundred miles away, staring at the tall city in front of him.

"This city isn't very easy to attack, General." Wang Qian's lieutenant general Wei Yu said with a somewhat solemn expression.

Wang Jian nodded and agreed with Wei Mi's opinion.

Now there are 220,000 troops under Wang Jian's command, which is the strength he obtained by gathering almost the entire Qin state.

Although these 220,000 people are actually very large, for example, the number of standing armies in them is not even half, but in any case, it is enough to make a huge noise.

As long as he can take the Shaoliang City in front of him, then the land west of the river will be able to return to the Qin State again.

"I heard that the defender of this city is Xu Li, the general of the Praetorian Guard of the Zhao State?" Wang Jian asked.

Wei Yu nodded and said, "Xu Li has always been calm, and there are about 50,000 defenders in the city, so it is not easy to capture this city. ”

Although he was very reluctant to hit his own morale, Wei Yu only told the truth.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "It has never been easy to confront Zhao Guo, otherwise Zhao Guo would not be so powerful now. As the people of Great Qin, we can only do things by people. ”

Wei Yi nodded and said, "What the general said is extremely true, but Wei Yi is wrong." ”

Wang Jian said: "Okay, let's order someone to try to attack the city once." ”

Of course, the so-called attempt to attack the city still has great power under people like Wang Qian.

The trebuchet kept firing, and countless boulders fell from the sky and smashed on the head of Shaoliang City, making bursts of smoke and dust keep coming out of the entire city, and it looked like the sky was shaking.

Amid the heavy beating of drums, many Qin soldiers began to rush forward with bags of sand and shields in their hands, and began the great cause of filling the moat.

The dense Qin soldiers under the city and the boulders that did not know when they would fall obviously had a certain impact on the morale of the defenders on Shaoliang City, and many people were a little unsure of what to do.

A knife flashed, and the head of a general of Zhao Guobai, who was shrinking behind the battlements, instantly flew into the sky, and the main general Xu Li clenched the long knife in his hand and said loudly: "What are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up and get ready to shoot the enemy forces below! If there are those who are timid, they will be dealt with by military law! ”

The human head finally woke up the defenders of Zhao on the city wall, and they began to wind up their crossbows and shoot at the Qin soldiers below the city.

Xu Li looked at the defender soldiers who were still a little sluggish, and his heart was very dissatisfied.

In fact, Xu Li knew very well why this was, because in addition to the 20,000 central troops brought by Xu Li from Hedong County, the remaining defenders were all locals, in other words, they were still "Qin people" not long ago.

Expecting these old Qin people to fight the Qin army under the city wall obviously does require some means.

"Rushing the car, it's rushing the car! Come on, aim the crossbow and aim at them! ”

One order after another kept coming out of Xu Li's mouth, and the entire Zhao army's defense line finally moved in an orderly manner, constantly inflicting casualties on the Qin army.

After a day's siege, Wang Jian finally gave the order: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" ”

With the sound of Dangdang's gold, the soldiers of the Qin army under the city wall began to retreat like a tide.

A burst of cheers erupted from above the city of Shaoliang City.

Xu Li breathed a long sigh of relief, remembering the king's entrustment to him when he came.

"You only need to hold on for a while, as short as half a month or as long as a month, Li Mu will definitely be able to transfer the Qin army back, and when the siege of Shaoliang City is lifted, you will be the hero of the widow, you must do this well, understand?"

Xu Li turned his mind in his heart, and then looked at Qin Jun in front of him, and couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This Wang Jian seems to be nothing more than that!
