However, Xia Qing and Feng Baiyi's decision still made Feng Yuchong and them slightly surprised. Now the situation is very urgent, the battle can change at any moment, and no one knows what may happen in the next moment. Once they make such a long detour, it is very likely that they will enter a situation from which they will never recover. Of course, they didn't dare to say this, so they could only silently speed up their pace and rush away.

Recently, because Feng Yuchong, Feng Shanshan and Gao Hanyue were walking unhurriedly in the mountain range leading from Zhongcheng to Yicheng. As a result, the internal and light and external exercises that they had to practice every day were unconsciously wasted for a while. Even during this period of time, they didn't remember that they hadn't broken through the first bottleneck of the Instrument Soul Cultivation, which was the third level of the Instrument Soul Cultivation. They really don't have anything to be complacent, and they even have some shame on their faces.

Sure enough, although they said that they were in a hurry to rush back to Ruocheng to save Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi State, to reverse the situation. But the truth still gave them a blow in the face, and the three of them were indeed very slack in the past two months, and they were very happy to enjoy the mountains and rivers outside. But they really ignored their daily indispensable cultivation and exercise, but Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing were already running there at full speed at this moment, Feng Yuchong and them couldn't adapt to this kind of speed that they were relatively able to adapt to for a while. It didn't take long for Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing to be left behind.

Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue, and Feng Shanshan all showed a trace of helplessness and a faint sad smile on their faces. They still can't have a moment of slackness and relaxation on the path of cultivating the soul of the instrument! Once they become lazy, they really don't know what the result will become!

Even though his steps were a little heavy and beads of sweat appeared on his face, Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Shanshan still persisted. They were in a hurry to go back to rescue Chen Jie, so even if they gritted their teeth, they had to continue to persevere, desperately taking steps to catch up with Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who had already gone to the front. On the contrary, Yu Fei, who followed them, was very steady, waiting there for Feng Yu to rush the three of them, and then ran side by side.

Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing ran into the distance, but their eyes always stayed on the three young people behind them, who had lived together since childhood. For these three people, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing are naturally the most concerned and loving. Especially Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, this is their flesh and blood, and it is the continuation of their bloodline. The reason why they didn't stop was to see how far their children could persevere. As for Yu Fei, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing are not familiar with each other, and they can also faintly see that this Yu Fei seems to be hiding his strength. She seems to have broken through the first threshold of Instrument Soul cultivation and reached the realm of Instrument Soul Three Styles or even higher. But Yu Fei seems to have been deeply buried in his strength, and Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing are not easy to ask more, but they just secretly keep an eye in their hearts.

The dream city in the distance did not seem far away, and the distant mountains hidden in the gradually slanting sunset gradually disappeared from sight. They couldn't help but secretly sigh that fate is impermanent, today they have only experienced a meeting after not seeing each other for several years, but they are about to separate in an instant, how can this not make them feel emotional?

Staring at the slanting light in the distance, they were destined to have an unusual life, and continued to move forward with a fate that they didn't know whether it was fate or against the sky, and they couldn't predict what would happen in the future

...

In the summer of the twenty-second year of Xuan Lejun of Qi State, the southern town of Qi was in the east of Linguan, and the Qi army stationed here used 20,000 troops, and these 20,000 troops were 20,000 of the 50,000 elite soldiers originally stationed outside Ruocheng, and they were ambushed by the Ming people in Ruocheng, and almost wiped out this army with fire. The remaining 20,000 troops, led by Chen Jie's three lieutenants, retreated to Donglinguan. Originally, this army wanted to cooperate with the reinforcements from the north of Qi to turn back and exterminate the rebel army of the Ming people. However, the three lieutenant generals have now learned the news that the 60,000 troops of the Sealed War Society have now gathered outside the city of Donglinguan, and even launched a tentative attack on the night they first arrived. Although the city is bordered by high walls to the east, the people in the city have also expressed their support for the Qi State against the attack of the feudal state. In a short period of time, it was impossible to break through the walls of Donglinguan and enter the hinterland of Qi.

However, these three Chen Jie's lieutenants were still worried, and almost all of the military rations they were originally stationed in were burned by the Ming people in a sneak attack. Although he retreated to the east of the pass, the grain and grassland in the east of the pass was only for the three thousand garrisons to eat. With an increase of 20,000 troops at once, the grain and grass in the eastern border will soon run out. This point made these three lieutenant generals extremely worried, can they now hold this pass that is extremely important to the Qi State? This is something they dare not guarantee, what they are looking forward to now is the tens of thousands of troops and 200,000 stone grain mobilized from the north of the Qi State, if there is the assistance and supplement of this army, they can hold the Donglin Pass, and even counterattack Ruocheng. On the other hand, the offensive of the feudal country is now extremely fierce, and within three days the 60,000 army launched dozens of strong onslaughts, although the city wall of the east border pass is wide, but the city is more and more sliding to the edge of floating. Although these three lieutenants understood such a change, they could not stop it. What they wanted to do most now was to send capable soldiers to infiltrate Ruocheng in an attempt to rescue their general, Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi. It's just that their rescue operation has not achieved good results recently, although the Ming clan has almost attacked Huicheng with almost all their troops, but their current nest of this uprising, Ruocheng, is heavily defended, and it is very strict with outsiders. The more than 1,000 people they sent did not get a good opportunity, and dozens of elite soldiers had already entered Ruocheng through means, but they also couldn't find any trace of Chen Jie. can only temporarily silence and bury his name in Ruocheng waiting for an opportunity.

However, time is running out now, and the express news came yesterday. The tens of thousands of troops of Qi who defended the national capital are now stationed in Jincheng and can go south at any time, but the north of Qi has once again come with urgent news.

The 30,000 elite troops of the Second Hall of the Sealed War Society had already set off from Shengcheng, and although this army did not launch an attack on the northern land of Qi, this army was tantamount to the biggest threat to Qi. As a result, the army reinforced by the Qi State is now staying in Jincheng and is indecisive, not knowing whether to go north to reinforce or go south to support. This army can only choose to garrison Jincheng and play a two-sided deterrent role. But in fact, Li Ling, the nephew of Prime Minister Li Dan, the commander of this army, knew that the deterrence of this army was not even as good as sending a thousand troops to the north or south. But he had no choice, without his uncle's order, his army could only garrison Jincheng first. And the crisis that the eastern border and the city of Huicheng, and even the northern city of Quecheng, are about to face, he wants to help, but he is helpless.

The crisis in the east is bordering on the pass, and the city in the south is also in a deep crisis. The Qi army guarding the city was only 7,000 people. The reason why it was able to hold on in the face of the attack of nearly 30,000 Ming troops. They relied on the city's thick walls and abundant food reserves. Coupled with the stability of the Qi people, most of the people were willing to help the army, and even the young and strong among them took the initiative to ask for help to supplement the shortage of the army in Huicheng. It is precisely for this reason that Huicheng was able to hold on for nearly half a month without breaking it when all the more than ten county towns under its rule were lost.

It was another day, and there were still remnants of the broken weapons left over from yesterday's fierce battle, as well as the ladders and arrows left behind in the wilderness outside the city. The neighing of war horses was heard from time to time in the distance, and outside the company camp where the soldiers were in the city, an old man with a solemn face and a white robe sat on a black war horse on his hip, and the old man was also followed by several generals riding war horses and wearing armor. The old man at the head, his gaze was like lightning, and he shot straight into the distance to faintly outline a guild city.

This old man is none other than the leader of this uprising of the Ming clan, the only surviving elder of the four elders of the Ming clan. He and some of the Ming people lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, and recently found an opportunity to revolt to take revenge on the Qi country. But I didn't expect that all the way from Ruocheng to Huicheng would be like a devastating battle. What they didn't expect was that Huicheng was such a hard nail, which had been hanging on the head of the rebellious Ming army like flesh in their hearts, forcing them to go anywhere, and if they didn't pull out this hard nail, it would always become a big problem for the Ming people.

Elder North stared at the silhouette of the Huicheng in the distance, although he had already dispatched the magic technique of "breaking", secretly ordering some of his soldiers to secretly dig tunnels under a mound not far from the Huicheng at any moment during the large-scale siege of the army. On the surface, the daily siege of more than 10,000 troops is very ferocious, but in fact, these besieging troops are only providing superficial cover for the tunnels that are about to be dug in the rear. Today, this tunnel is about to be successfully excavated, and more than 2,000 Ming soldiers are indeed meritorious, and through such an unaware "tunnel battle" they have won valuable time for the Ming clan.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the number of troops stationed on the castle tower gradually increased. Originally, only a part of the army patrolled here, but now at dawn, the number of troops increased to nearly 4,000 troops. It is now impossible for the Ming army to capture the high-walled Huicheng through a frontal offensive, but the arrogant army will be defeated. The Ming people have already prepared a new strategy, today, is the day of their successful tunnel battle, the Ming people can't even wait to take action in the dead of night, so they chose such a day, the Ming 30,000 troops almost poured out, 20,000 troops attacked the city, and 3,000 troops attacked the city through the tunnel.

Elder North rode his horse and watched the battle situation in the city that was gradually becoming fierce, and he also saw that the most elite army of three thousand had already penetrated deep into the tunnels and began to advance, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and smile at the thought that the resentment and anger that had accumulated in his heart over the years could finally be vented
