On the northwestern border of Qidi, a team marched slowly.

Hundreds of Yuan troops rode horses and carried lances on both sides of the ranks.

Surrounded by Yuan Jun, it was a cart driven by the people.

There were heavy sacks piled up on the car.

The line stretched so long that there was no end in sight.

Jiang Qi walked in the front with a gun, followed by two Yuan military captains at his side.

"The general escorts, and the grain and grass will be safe." A lieutenant said: "Gong Xin is worried, our army is coming to the city, how can the Cao army divide the troops to loot the grain and grass?" ”

"That's what I'm saying, it's hard for the general to go through it." Another lieutenant chimed in: "We can escort the grain and grass, and the general will come in person, so don't you kill chickens and use a knife?" ”

Jiang Qi said: "Grain and grass are important, don't be careless!" There is nothing wrong with Xin Gong's concerns. ”

The two lieutenants didn't say anything more, but their expressions showed disapproval.

"Stop!" As he was walking, Jiang Qi raised his right hand and tightened the reins.

"General, what's wrong?" A lieutenant asked blankly.

"Where ahead?" Jiang Qi pointed forward.

"Walk more than ten miles, you can reach the Wuhe ......"

"A certain Zhiwu River." Interrupting the captain, Jiang Qi said, "It's just the mountains ahead. ”

"There are many hills in Qidi, the mountains are not dangerous, and there are no broken valley mountain roads, which is not an excellent place to set up ambushes, so the general should rest assured."

"As a matter of transporting grain, how can you be careless?" Jiang Qi reprimanded the lieutenant.

"That's what the general said!" The lieutenant hurriedly responded.

"Let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Jiang Qi ordered the grain team to move on.

Walking between the two hills, Jiang Qi glanced at the sides from time to time.

Raising his hand again to stop the procession, he listened to the movement around him.

"General, what's wrong?" The line stopped again, and a lieutenant asked.

"It's too quiet here. Don't you want to feel weird? ”

"Quiet?" The two lieutenants also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

As Jiang Qi said, the surroundings are surprisingly quiet.

The huge grain convoy passed by, not to mention the neighing of war horses, but the sound of wheels crushing the road, which was enough to startle the birds in the forest.

Come here, don't talk about birds. I didn't even hear a sound of insects.

"All armies should be vigilant and beware of enemy ambushes......"

Before Jiang Qi's order was issued, there was a rustling sound on the hillsides on both sides.

Countless Cao Jun rushed out.

Squatting or standing on the hillside in formation, Cao Jun made a strong bow and wound up, and a sharp arrow was aimed at Jiang Qi and others.

"Jiang Qi!" Zang Ba appeared on the left hillside, and he crossed his waist and shouted: "You have entered the ambush, when will you wait if you don't surrender at this time?" ”

Cao Jun suddenly appeared, and Yuan Jun and Minfu, who were escorting grain and grass, suddenly panicked.

"Armies fight!" did not respond to Zang Ba, Jiang Qi raised his gun and shouted.

After all, the soldiers of the Yuan army have been on the battlefield for a long time. The order was given, and they dismounted and hid behind their horses.

On the hillside, Zang Ba raised his hand and waved: "Release the arrow!" ”

The arrows on the hillsides on both sides rained down, staggering towards Yuan Jun.

The people who were driving were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and the horses also neighed and fell in the rain of arrows.

Hiding behind the horses, Yuan Jun dodged the oncoming arrows, but could not avoid the feathered arrows shot from behind.

People on the trail turned on their backs, howling and screaming. Yuan Jun and Minfu, who were powerless to fight back and had nowhere to escape, became Cao Jun's living targets!

"Rush up the hill!" Seeing the soldiers fall to his side. Jiang Qi turned his heart sideways and took the lead in rushing to the hillside.

As soon as he jumped up, an arrow flew from behind him and shot through his waist.

In the midst of the pain, his body shook, and an oncoming arrow pierced his armor and pierced his right chest.

Dozens of Yuan soldiers who charged with him only ran a few steps. and was knocked to the ground by the staggered feathered arrows.

The rain of arrows thinned out.

Everywhere were the corpses of Yuan Jun and Minfu with arrows stuck in their bodies.

The horses fell to the ground, the grain and grass were crooked, and the scene was quiet, except for the wounded steeds struggling to let out a heavy gasp or two from time to time.

With a feather arrow in his chest and back waist, and a spear on the ground, Jiang Qi struggled to get up.

In front of a mountain of corpses. He stood tall with his gun and glared angrily at Zang Ba who was walking towards him.

Hordes of Cao Jun ran past him.

No one touched him, and he didn't look at any Cao Jun who ran away.

Flames ignited behind him, and Cao Jun lit the grain cart.

Jiang Qi didn't look back.

The food and grass have been lost, and he is powerless to reverse what has happened!

The only thing you can do is to do your best to kill Zang Ba......

Zang Ba got closer and closer, Jiang Qi tried his best, kicked the ground with his right leg, and rushed forward with a gun.

No shouting, no bursting, just a silent blow......

The spear was pointed directly at Zang Ba's throat, but Jiang Qi's vision was already blurred!

This shot will be the last blow in his life!

Sideways to avoid the spear, Zang Ba's long sword stabbed into Jiang Qi's abdomen, and resisted the momentum of his forward rush with his shoulder.

With Zang Ba on his shoulder, the corners of Jiang Qi's mouth hooked up a weird smile, and he fell down softly.

When he fell, his blood-stained right hand was still clasping the armor on Zang Ba's shoulder.

The grain and grass burned and the flames surged, and the green smoke curled into the air.

"It's a pity that I can bring this grain and grass back...... "A Cao military captain muttered.

"What should not be taken, it is better to destroy than to take it." Zang Ba said: "Cheng Gong is still guarding the city, I must rush back as soon as possible!" ”

Qidi, outside the city.

Yuan Tan stood under the banner of Ma Shuai and looked at the city wall close at hand.

A fast horse galloped from behind the formation, and when he reached Yuan Tan's side, the knight turned over and dismounted and clenched his fists and said, "Qiyu eldest son!" The Cao army raided our army's grain and grass, and General Jiang Qi died in battle! ”

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How about the grain and grass?" ”

"Burned!"

The grain and grass were burned, and the generals beside Yuan Tan looked at him one after another.

"Eldest son......" Xin Ping wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yuan Tan.

"Pass the order, attack the city immediately!" With a pale face, Yuan Tan gave the order to attack the city.

"Absolutely not!" Xin Ping hurriedly said: "The enemy army has robbed the grain and grass, our army should evacuate first, and then make plans in the future!" ”

"Why not?" Yuan Tan glared at him: "The enemy army divided the troops to rob our army's grain and grass, and the defenders in the city are empty, when will you wait if you don't attack at this time?" ”

Xin Ping wanted to say something more, but Yuan Tan had already said: "Xin Gong doesn't need to obstruct it, a certain intention has been decided, and he will attack the city immediately!" ”

When the order to siege the city was given, the drummers jumped on the drum ring bare-chested, brandished their drumsticks, and hammered the war drums with all their might.

Yuan's heavy infantry stepped forward in formation.

With the sound of uniform shields, the heavy infantry blocked the large shields in front of them, and one by one the long lances pointed at the city wall.

The ladder and battering ram were then pushed up and placed in front of the shield array.

The archer drew his arrow, put it on the bowstring, and ran into the shield.

With the sound of war drums and horns, the Yuan army is about to launch the first wave of attacks on the city wall!

Yuan Xu, who was still more than ten miles away from the city, faintly heard the sound of war drums and horns, and shouted to Tai Shigong and others: "Speed up!" ”

More than a dozen horses galloped with their hooves raised, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust! (To be continued.) )
