"General, the scout has heard that an enemy army of 20,000 people is coming towards Pingyuan City, and the main general of the army is very likely to be a general under the command of the Marquis of Jin." Adjutant said.

Jiang Qi's eyes tightened, "Closely probe the news of the enemy army." ”

"General, it's hard for our scouts to get close to the enemy." The adjutant general looked bitter, this news was obtained by his own scouts at a great cost, in terms of scouts, the enemy's control on the battlefield is extremely strict, as long as the scouts are discovered by the enemy, there is basically no good end.

In the previous battles, although there were also scouts fighting, they would not go too far with each other, but when it came to Lu Bu's body, the scouts seemed to be the target of their attack, as long as they found it, it was a situation of endless death.

Compared with the scouts under Lu Bu, the scouts of the Qingzhou army are not half a star, whether it is the excellence of the war horses or the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, it is not a level, which also causes the confrontation between the scouts, and the scouts of the plain are more dead, fortunately, there is such a cavalry as Yang Feng on the battlefield, but since the appearance of 20,000 enemy troops, Yang Feng seems to have disappeared, not to mention the situation on the battlefield for the plain.

"Enemy scouts are so powerful." Jiang Qi sighed, and immediately understood, this is the army under the command of the Marquis of Jin, and the things that he couldn't understand originally, as long as Lu Bu is involved, it doesn't seem to be so difficult to understand.

"General, there are only 3,000 defenders in the city now, so you should ask Linzi for help." Adjutant said.

Jiang Qi nodded approvingly: "That's right, how important is the location of the plain, if it is broken by the enemy army, then the army of Jizhou will be in danger." ”

Since the discovery of the enemy, Jiang Qi has done the most every day, is to go to the city wall, look outside the city, to see if he can find the traces of the enemy, at the same time, the news that the 20,000 army is coming to the plain, also spread in the army, many soldiers talk about the enemy, their expressions are full of fear, if you are careful, you will find that most of these soldiers have experienced the Jizhou battlefield, and some have even fought with the army under Lu Bu twice.

In contrast, although the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army are afraid, they are not as unbearable as imagined, which also makes many generals in the army secretly sneer, the ten rules in the art of war are obviously not applicable to Lu Bu, and then they will see Lu Bu's power, after all, Lu Bu's prestige is in Qingzhou, not as good as Jizhou, Youzhou and other places.

Jiang Qi's anxiety was also transmitted to the officers and men in the army, and the city wall was constantly strengthened and heightened under Jiang Qi's orders, as if only in this way could it be preserved under the attack of the enemy.

The soldiers and civilians in the city, when the enemy army was coming, showed great enthusiasm, especially the family in the city, spared no effort and did not care about the gains and losses of the family, which moved Jiang Qi very much, and the family who usually did whatever it took for the interests of the family became so obedient, which made Jiang Qi a little at a loss.

Three days later, Lu Bu led 20,000 troops to arrive, the flag covered the sky and the sun, the sergeants of the army walked neatly, the sound of the steps fell like war drums, hitting the hearts of every defender, many defenders faced the enemy's might, pale, trembling hands and feet, most of them were soldiers who had not experienced a cruel war, did not understand what it meant once the war began, just for the army outside the city to be shocked.

Jiang Qi looked at the enemy army outside the city with a solemn expression, this kind of momentum, he had seen it from the Jizhou army, but many years later, the momentum of the army under Yuan Shao has gradually dissipated after one defeat after another, and there are more recruits in the army, how can this kind of momentum be condensed, only an army that has experienced real life and death will burst out with such a strong momentum to threaten the enemy.

"General, look at the banner outside the city." The adjutant general pointed to the big Lu Ziqi and shouted.

Jiang Qi saw the banner representing Lu Bu, under Lu Bu's command, unless Lu Bu was there in person, how could other generals dare to use such banners at will.

"General, could it really be the arrival of the Marquis of Jin?" The adjutant general's voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Qi snorted coldly: "Even if the Marquis of Jin comes in person, what can we do, our army has the advantage of the city, relying on the city, we can teach the enemy a painful lesson the next day." In the end, his voice became lower and lower, and it was clear that he had no high hopes of being able to hold the plain under the attack of 20,000 enemy troops, and could only secretly pray that his own reinforcements would arrive soon.

Lu Kuance immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Jiang Qi came out to answer!" ”

Jiang Qi saw Lu Kuang alone outside the city, and couldn't help but say, "Could it be that General Lu has taken refuge in the Marquis of Jin?" ”

"Exactly, this general has already taken refuge in the Marquis of Jin, if you wait to open the city gate and surrender, your life will be safe, otherwise, you will wait for death." With an army of 20,000 to rely on, Lu Kuang was even more energetic, and his words were extremely arrogant.

"Lu Kuang, as a general under the command of Marquis Ye, you actually took refuge in the enemy at such a critical moment, not ashamed, but proud, could it be that you have forgotten how much Marquis Ye trusts you, Marquis of Jin and I are undying enemies." Jiang Qi said.

The defenders of the city are talking a lot, Lu Kuang, as a general under Yuan Shao, naturally has a lot of people in the army, some generals look at Lu Kuang outside the city, and there are more thoughts in their hearts, if it is not necessary, no one is willing to die, as for the sake of Ye Hou, it is even more nonsense, ordinary soldiers join the army, more to be able to eat, not to be starved to death in this troubled world, some soldiers are not willing to join the army, they are forcibly recruited, so they have a weak sense of belonging to the army, When faced with a powerful enemy, they are likely to choose betrayal.

Lu Kuang laughed and said: "The Marquis of Jin is the general of the Han Dynasty, and he is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the world under the order of the Holy Lord, and it is a matter of course for the general to take refuge in the Marquis of Jin. ”

Jiang Qi said categorically: "This general is a general under the command of Marquis Ye, even if he dies, he will not take refuge in Marquis Jin, so you will die of this heart." ”

At this moment, several generals came to the outside of the city surrounded by one person, it was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu glanced at the city not far away, and said with all his strength: "I am the Marquis of Jin, the general is also, and now I am ordered by the Holy Lord to crusade against the ministers, and the Marquis of Ye Yuan Shao invaded the rule of Benhou for no reason, so that the army and the people fell into the flames of war, this battle has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers and civilians, if it is a refuge, Benhou is not to blame in the past, and the one who opens the city gate will be named a partial general, and the one who kills Jiang Qi will be a partial general." ”

At the beginning of this month, the normal update was resumed, and last month was almost exhausted.
