Shi Ziling was very pleased, if the defeated army in the city wanted to flee to the north to join Li Yuan's two major armies, the only direct passage was to take the north gate, since the north gate has been closed, it is difficult for anyone to get out of the city for a while, even if it goes out of the city from other places, it will take a long detour to the north.

In this way, it greatly delayed the time when the news of the loss of Mijing City reached Li Yuan's ears, and created good conditions for his subsequent raid.

In order to block the north gate as soon as possible, Shi Ziling asked the 6,000 troops who were willing to join the Songhu Army to pick up their weapons and equipment again, led by Yin Qi, and immediately set off to the north gate with his special attack division.

The remaining 4,000 troops who wanted to withdraw from Mijing City were temporarily left in place to standby, and Shi Ziling assigned a small team of men to guard them, telling them to withdraw from Mijing City from the east gate only when the whole city was completely controlled.

Yin Qi and the 6,000 troops were a little surprised that they were allowed to retrieve the blades so quickly, they didn't expect Shi Ziling to trust them so much, and they were secretly grateful in their hearts.

Shi Ziling didn't think much about this, he was quite confident in his ability to view people since he practiced the soul dementor, since he saw that Yin Qi was not a traitor, he decided to let it go, and with the combat power of the special attack division, he was not afraid of the six thousand troops who were ghosts.

And Li Shuo and Guo Tiexiong, the two captains and vice-presidents of the city defenders, had a somewhat complicated mood. The two of them saw that Shi Ziling valued Yin Qi a lot, and they also had the idea of surrendering in their hearts, but after all, they were the descendants of the Li Yuan family, and they didn't know if Shi Ziling would accept them. If Shi Ziling didn't accept their surrender, he didn't know what Lu Dao would do with them in the end, so both of them were quite entangled in their hearts.

Under the leadership of Yin Qi, Shiziling and they soon came to the north gate of Mijing City. As Yin Qi said, the city gate of the north gate had already been closed, Yin Qi gathered the soldiers stationed at the north gate, told the news that he had surrendered to Shiziling, and promised that if his subordinates were unwilling to follow Shiziling, they could leave from the east gate.

These soldiers at the North Gate are quite loyal to Yin Qi, and they have long admired Shi Ziling, the top master who is now famous, and most of them are willing to continue to follow Yin Qi to join Shi Ziling's Songhu Legion.

After successfully controlling the north gate, Shi Ziling sent Leng Long to check the results of Wei Song's encounters with the enemy, and he himself asked Yin Qi to learn more about the situation in the city.

Yin Qi said: "The east gate of Mijing City is the gateway to the south and east, and although it has been safe and sound for many years, it still concentrates nearly half of the city's troops. Especially after Li Yuan personally led his troops to the north, he took care of us and asked us to be careful against the changes of the Nangong family, so the east gate has always been personally controlled by Li Dutong and the city guard, I didn't expect to be attacked by General Shi this time, and I don't know what the current situation of Lu Dao is?"

Shi Ziling said: "The main generals there have been restrained by me as hostages, and most of the soldiers have put down their weapons and are on standby in the barracks. I feel that although the number of garrisons there is large, the combat power is not too strong, and I can control the east gate relatively easily this time. ”

Yin Qi sighed: "This time, Sect Master Li led his troops north, and almost all the elites were brought over, although the total number of men and horses left in Mijing City was still sixty or seventy thousand, but it was indeed not too strong. ”

"I thought that this was the Li family's lair, no one dared to attack our idea of Mijing City, even if it was for the Nangong family, it was only a little attention, everyone expected that Nangong Xia did not have the courage and ability to sneak attack us. No one expected that General Shi would come from the far east to attack from the south, and it was no wonder that the whole city would be in chaos and unable to deal with it. ”

Shi Ziling asked, "In addition to the east gate and the north gate, where else are there more garrisons in the city?"

Yin Qi said: "After Li Yuan left, half of the troops in the city were concentrated at the east gate, and in addition, the north gate where I was stationed had the most soldiers. The west gate is close to Yijing Mountain, and there are few garrisons, while the garrison at the south gate is dominated by the auxiliary defense army. After learning that something had happened in the city, most of the auxiliary defense forces followed another garrison lord, He Qing, to the east gate to rescue, and I don't know what happened now. ”

"In addition, there are still five or six thousand elite soldiers stationed in the general camp of the city garrison near the city guard mansion, which have been incorporated into my reinforcements just now, and now there is no need to worry about the death and surrender. ”

Shi Ziling said: "I'm not worried about the assistant defense army, I just sent 5,000 special attack divisions to go from the south road, I think it should be enough to deal with this road of the auxiliary defense army, even if there is a mistake, I still have 5,000 special attack divisions stationed at the east gate, it should be foolproof." ”

Yin Qi admired Shi Ziling's special attack division very much, and when he heard that he still had two people, he expected that it would not be a problem to deal with He Qing's auxiliary defense army, so he immediately put his mind at ease, and discussed with Shi Ziling about the plan after controlling Mijing City.

Shi Ziling said: "My 15,000-strong special attack division is only the vanguard force, and there are 35,000 men and horses of the Songhu Legion behind who are stepping up their march to Mijing City, and Nangong Xia has also sent 50,000 elite soldiers to come from the path. When they are all in the city, we will immediately send troops from the north gate to Yanzhao Pass. ”

Although Yin Qi had already guessed that the real purpose of Shi Ziling's trip must be to go north to deal with Li Yuan, he still couldn't help but change color on his face when he heard Shi Ziling say it himself. Li Yuan's eloquence is probably deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the west, and although Yin Qi has never been reused by the Li family, he is still very in awe of Li Yuan's talent and strength.

Yin Qi said solemnly: "The strength of the two legions of the Sect Leader Li-Wolf and Grizzly Bear is not trivial, far from being comparable to these garrisons left behind by our Mijing City, they now have the upper hand against the Xiahou family and their morale is booming, General Shi's trip will inevitably be extremely difficult." ”

Shi Ziling nodded and said: "I understand this, and I also know that this trip is quite risky to go deep behind enemy lines, and if it is not good, there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated, but in addition, there is no other opportunity to defeat Li Yuan in one fell swoop." So far, my strategy has gone well, and whether we can succeed in the next step depends on our attacking performance and whether we have good luck. ”

Yin Qi admired Shi Ziling's confidence very much, and secretly thought that in addition to Shi Ziling, there were probably few people in the world who dared to hope to defeat Li Yuan in one fell swoop, but Shi Ziling was stable and relaxed, neither blindly optimistic, but always maintained full self-confidence. If Shi Ziling can really defeat Li Yuan this time, then the pattern of the entire Bright Moon Continent will be completely changed, and perhaps the situation of competing for hegemony will be gone forever.

Yin Qi couldn't help but be a little excited, he said eagerly: "General Shi, I have fought with the military horses of the Xiahou family many times, and I am quite familiar with the road to the north, if General Shi can trust me, I am willing to follow General Shi north to Yanzhao Pass." ”

Shi Ziling said happily: "Of course I can trust you, since I recruited you into my command, of course I hope you can behave." With you leading the way for me, I will definitely be able to reach Yanzhao Pass faster. ”

Yin Qi immediately knelt on the ground and said, "General Shi has so much trust in me, a general, I will definitely do my best to help the general win." ”

Shi Ziling hurriedly helped Yin Qi up and said, "General Yin doesn't need to be polite, I can see that you are brave and upright, and you are a person of temperament, which is exactly the type I admire." This time I went deep into the hinterland of the west, and it was my luck to have General Yin take refuge with you. I hope that we can succeed this time and bring the world back to peace as soon as possible. ”

Yin Qi sighed with emotion in his heart, he has served in the west for many years, has been with the army many times, and has made a lot of military achievements, and his martial arts strength is only higher than Li Shuolai, but he has only been a small deputy commander. Every time he encountered a major event, he didn't even have a chance to speak in Li's house, not only was he speechless in front of Li Yuan, but he also had very few opportunities to see Li Yuan.

In Mijing City, Yin Qi's status is not only far inferior to Li Shuo, the descendant of the Li family, but also much inferior to Guo Tiexiong of the same level. The reason is that he is upright by nature and does not know how to have a good relationship with the descendants of the Li family, so he has not been reused.

Unexpectedly, this encounter with Shi Ziling, I originally thought that I would definitely die after being captured, but I was unexpectedly appreciated by Shi Ziling, not only did not kill him, but also recruited him into his command, so that his subordinates also retrieved weapons and equipment.

Now Shi Ziling discussed with him face-to-face the strategy of attacking Li Yuan, and fully informed him of the strength of the Songhu Legion on this expedition, showing full trust in him, which was completely unimaginable in the past, and really made him feel like he had joined the Ming Lord. Yin Qi secretly made up his mind in his heart, the so-called scholar died for his confidant, and he must do a good job under Shiziling.

Then Yin Qi told Shi Ziling about the situation of the several roads to Yanzhao Pass that he knew, and also told Shi Ziling in detail about the situation of the two major legions of blue wolf and grizzly bear that he knew, and finally said:

"General Shi's surprise attack on Mijing City this time was beyond everyone's expectations, and then as long as we can move quickly and unexpectedly, we really have a chance to deal a heavy blow to Li Yuan, who is attacking Xiahou Yuan with all his might. If it can form a flank and echo with the two legions of the Xiahou family, it is not impossible to defeat the two legions of the blue wolf and grizzly bear in one fell swoop. ”

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Although I don't have much experience in leading troops into battle, I believe that the decisive victory on the battlefield will inevitably be as rapid as the duel of martial arts masters, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where you will lose everything." ”

"I have both advantages and disadvantages in leading the army to attack from afar this time, the advantage is to attack it unprepared, the disadvantage is that there are not many troops and the long-distance journey is not familiar, and it is difficult to predict how long the Xiahou family can support it, so I say that the success or failure of the most decisive will not only depend on us to do our best, but also depend on whether there is luck. ”

Yin Qi said respectfully: "General Shi has planned a decisive victory, he has already anticipated all difficulties, and he has a heart of benevolence and righteousness in his heart to seek stability and well-being for the people of the world, and he will definitely favor the general if he wants to come." I am quite confident in the general's trip. ”

Shi Ziling Ha said with a smile: "We martial arts people are always exploring the potential of the body and the unknown of life, longing for the day to break through our own limits with the help of the power of heaven and earth, I can't imagine that this time I will lead the expedition to rely on the will of heaven, I hope we will really have good luck this time......
