Chapter 58: Things Turn

After the Qi army collected its troops, the Qin army entered the city fifty meters and saw five burning boulders rolling down quickly.

The distance between the city gates was less than five meters, and it was too late for the Qin army who had entered the city to hide. Before they could exit the city, the boulder had already crushed them.

After the five boulders rolled, there was no aftermath.

The Qin army attacked again, and before they had gone fifty meters, five more fireballs rolled in the direction of the city gate.

The soldiers who entered the city did not have time to run, and their bodies were stained with fireballs and oil-blessed fire, and they rolled on the ground in fright.

Five boulders fell, and the city was silent again. No one knew if there would be any fireballs rolling down, and the forward general couldn't make up his mind, so he hurriedly retreated outside the city to meet Rong Chi.

Rong Chi calmly listened to the battle report, turned his head and asked the secret guard behind him: "Is there any movement over there at the West City Gate?" ”

On the evening of the day before Rong Chi returned to Dongcheng, he personally went to Hutou Mountain to negotiate. Rong Chi demanded that on the day of the battle, after the two armies went out, the lord of Han Zhai could go out of the mountain to attack the other side of the city gate, that is, the west city gate.

Then, the master of Han Zhai happily responded.

"Back to the master, not yet." The Dark Guard had been keeping an eye on the sky above the West Gate.

They have a code to answer, and if the west gate is successful, a yellow code will be issued.

Seeing that the east gate of the west city had been open for half an hour, the secret guard still did not see any code.

At this moment, a wisp of red above the city gate on the other side of the West City broke through the sky, blurring the sky.

Is that...

A code for help!

The red code was issued, which means that there was a disparity in manpower over there, and it was in urgent need of support.

On the other side of the city gate of the West City, after a fight, in exchange for the victory of one side.

The victor in this battle did not wear the equipment of the soldiers of Xicheng, but the usual clothes of civilians.

They had no professional weapons, and most of them carried kitchen knives and hoes that were not enlisted.

The lord of Han Zhai led the men on Hutou Mountain, and it was surprisingly difficult to obliterate the people that Rong Chi had planted in Xicheng.

Before the war, the lord of Han Zhai agreed to Rong Chi's request, but Rong Chi did not expect that Duan Jiuqing would find the lord of Han Zhai before him went to Hutou Mountain the night before him.

On the way to Hutou Mountain that day, Duan Jiuqing happened to meet bandits who had returned to the village from hunting, so he wiped the dirt on his face, mixed into the cottage with those bandits, and found the owner of Han Village.

Because of this, it was not noticed by the people of Rong Chi.

Duan Jiuqing told the lord of Han Zhai that if the people of the Qin army found the cottage again, they would first let the lord of Han Zhai dress up, and finally come to the inside and outside.

Rong Chi ambushed a total of 300 men and horses in Xicheng, and the lord of Han Zhai suddenly broke the contract, and the 300 men and horses were wiped out.

"Giant, what do we do now?" The rest of the generals asked aloud.

Rong Chi's peach blossom eyes flashed, and he said dumbly: "Withdraw the troops for the time being." ”

"But..."

The generals looked at the soldiers who died tragically under Xicheng, and finally chose to remain silent.

In this expedition, the 60,000 troops of the Qin army suffered 20,000 casualties, and in the end, only less than 40,000 soldiers returned to Xicheng intact.

Rong Chi was plain all the way, but his heart was turbulent.

The grain and grass were burned, and Rong Chi wrote a letter back to the Qin capital to ask the king of Qin for a month.

On the same day, the King of Qin received two reports from Xicheng, one of which was about war grain and grass, and there were only a few words on it. The other is the results of the battle in Xicheng, which mentions in detail the new military division in Xicheng.
