Shi Zi was also very helpless about Ying Qi being rescued, in order not to startle the snake, it did not use air power, even if it was ordered to chase it now, it would be difficult to catch up.

Ying Luobin was a little angry: "I actually let Ying Qi run away!"

Shi Zi snorted: "The so-called plan is in the sky, and such a result can be regarded as an accident, but fortunately, none of the other rebels escaped, so we won this battle." ”

Win Luobin's eyes glared: "This can be regarded as a win?"

Shi Zi glanced at him and said meaningfully, "What, Your Majesty thinks we have lost?"

"Of course...... No, under the careful arrangement of the great general, how could we lose the battle. Ying Luobin smiled and said, "I'm just a little angry, it's obviously a boiled duck, but in the end it flies." ”

Shi Zi snorted: "Don't worry, the monk can't run away from the temple, this seat wants to send troops to Beiwu City, not only to get rid of Ying Qi who escaped by luck, but also to kill Ye Feng, Ying Luoyue and others." ”

Ying Luobin began to accompany the smiling face: "That's it, Lord Shi Zi is out of the horse, everything is a piece of cake." ”

A few hours later, the flying wing came to the sky above Beiwu City.

Ye Yunyang left the camp in the middle of the night, Ye Feng and Ying Luoyue realized that the matter was not small, neither of them slept, but sat in the tent and waited.

Hearing the sound of flying wings volleying in the air, the two of them rushed out of the big tent at the same time.

"Kiki, what's wrong with you?" Ying Luoyue saw that Ying Qi's legs were wrapped in bandages, and the blood was stained red, so she hurriedly ran over to inquire about the situation.

Ying Qi said: "It doesn't matter, it's just some flesh wounds, not bones." Auntie, I was too anxious to launch a mutiny in advance, and as a result, I fell into the trap of Shi Zi and Ying Luobin, and all 50,000 horses were wiped out. ”

Ying Luoyue shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, failure is the mother of success, as long as you come back safely, there will be a chance to turn the tables in the future." ”

They walked into the tent together, and Ying Qi recounted what had happened.

Ye Feng frowned and said: "It seems that we underestimated Shi Zi, this guy has a lot of eyes! In that case, if I were the same, I would have ordered an immediate attack on the imperial city, and the price paid this time was a bit big, all 50,000 people of insight were killed, and it also affected the patrol battalion and a group of generals who guarded the imperial palace." ”

Ying Qi lowered his head and said, "It's because I'm too composing to breathe that I caused such a big loss." ”

Ye Feng waved his hand: "I don't blame you, I said just now, even if it were me, I would make the same choice, in the final analysis, we underestimated the enemy." Yun Yang is right, Shi Zi can control the heart of the eyes of the winner Luo Bin, which shows that he is extremely superior in intelligence, we must learn the lesson of this failure, and when we have similar plans in the future, we must be more cautious. ”

Ying Luoyue suggested: "The children are tired, let them go and rest, and talk about something tomorrow." ”

Early the next morning, Di Zhiming, the defender of Beiwu City, came to Ye Feng and said: "I just received the war letter from the Qin people, and they clamored to set foot on Beiwu City. ”

Ye Feng frowned: "How far is the Qin army from here, and how many troops do they have?"

Di Zhiming replied: "According to reliable information, four million Qin soldiers sent a letter to Guguan and rushed towards Beiwu City, accompanied by 10,000 orcs, and the troops from all over the country received the transfer order, most of them have already set out of camp, and the destination is also our side." ”

Ye Feng was taken aback, Emperor Qin was so big, or it should be said that Shi Zi was so big, he actually transferred four million troops at one time.

"General Ye, I'm afraid your ghost-faced army can't continue to rest, you must be prepared to defend against the enemy. Di Zhiming said with an embarrassed face: "It stands to reason that you are guests, and there is no rule for guests to contribute, but we only have more than one million defenders here, and the enemy is strong, so ......"

Ye Feng interrupted him and said, "I understand what General Di meant, the enemy army is coming, how can the Ghost Face Legion sit idly by, don't worry, this commander will go and gather people now to help you defend the city,"

Di Zhiming said happily: "That's great, I'll send the news back to the imperial capital immediately, and ask His Majesty the Emperor to send reinforcements over." ”

After saying that, he hurried away.

A few minutes later, the rallying cry of the Ghostface Legion sounded.

Ye Yunyang left the tent with Liu Yuying and Dongfang Yixue, and asked Ying Qi, who was already wearing armor, "Senior sister, what happened?"

Ying Qi replied: "Daqin raised four million troops, and came straight to Beiwu City, my uncle beat the drum and gathered the generals, I have to hurry over to attend the military meeting, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go and listen." ”

"Good. ”

The four of them went to the big tent of the Chinese army together, and the generals had already arrived, and the atmosphere in the tent was slightly tense.

The combat power of 10,000 orcs is equivalent to about 600,000 elite soldiers, plus an army of four million, the strength of the Qin people is very strong.

On the other hand, in Beiwu City, the defenders plus the Ghost Face Legion are only in their early two millions, and there are no other advantages to speak of except that the city is high and the pond is deep enough to rely on.

The generals believed that the Qin army's large-scale invasion had nothing to do with the Ghost Face Legion's defection, so everyone had the responsibility to help the Han army defend the city.

Ying Qi knew better that it was because of last night's mutiny that Ying Luobin and Shi Zi were stimulated, and the two of them would order the troops to attack.

When the military meeting was about to end, news came that Shi Zi personally served as the commander of the three armies and had left the capital to take full charge of matters related to the attack on Beiwu City.

Two days later, four million Qin troops camped at the entrance of the canyon, about twenty miles from the pass.

At the same time, the first reinforcements of the Han Dynasty arrived, but only 300,000 people, and the ratio of troops between the two sides was still very large.

At noon on this day, a man dressed in a civilian uniform appeared, holding a guard of honor representing the envoys, and rode to the pass under the escort of two Xuantie armored captains.

"Stop coming, or you will die without a place to bury!" the defending general shouted loudly, and hundreds of soldiers flashed their bows and arrows at the same time, aiming at the comer.

The city wall of Beiwuguan is 30 zhang high, divided into five layers altogether, the first layer is ten zhang away from the ground, a layer is set up every four zhang upward, the bed crossbow, stone throwing machine and other equipment are configured with each other, plus a number of crossbowmen, forming a solid line of defense.

The walls are interconnected, and troops can be deployed at any time, and those who don't know the internal structure will become headless flies when they enter, not only will they not find the right way out, but they will also have to face an endless stream of hidden weapons.

The valley is nine miles long, and the five-story city wall can arrange a total of five or six hundred thousand defenders.

The civil official of Great Qin looked up at the city wall as high as 100 meters, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that this place was called the first of the three major Xiongguan in the north, and such a tight defense would definitely not be able to be broken by conventional methods.

But he was not worried, because there were 10,000 orcs in the Qin army, among which the tiger people and leopard people were good at climbing walls, and no matter how high the city wall was, they could not stop their steps.

He cleared his throat and said loudly: "The soldiers of the Han army in the city have all listened, the commander of this army is Shi Zi, the general of the Great Qin Prison State, Lord Shi Zi is brave and good at fighting, and it is easy to take down your small pass." However, Lord Shi Zi is willing to give you a way to live, as long as you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and your personal safety will be guaranteed. ”

The general in the city laughed: "We Han people are arrogant, and we will never surrender to the ugly orcs! This kind of useless thing, you Qin people did it, don't waste your tongue here, go back and tell the lion, if you have the ability, come to attack the city, and our Han warriors will accompany you to the end!"

The civil official's face changed: "Our Lord Shizi is kind, you don't want to toast or eat and drink." ”

The general said coldly: "Give you ten seconds to get out immediately, otherwise you will die!"

At the same time, the archers pulled their bowstrings, and the civil servant was startled, turned his horse's head and ran.

The general laughed again and said, "You can see it all, even the envoy is a cowardly fellow, and their main general must also be a coward! Don't be afraid, dare to invade Xiongguan, let him have no return!"

The matter quickly reached the ears of Di Zhiming and Ye Feng, Ye Feng felt strange and said, "Shi Zi personally serves as the main general, he should know that it is useless to persuade him to surrender, why do you have to do more?"

Di Zhiming shook his head: "God knows what kind of conspiracy he wants to play, we don't care so much, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, let him be full of tricks, as long as we do not change to meet all changes, we can hold the Xiongguan and win the final victory!"

"Report!" the herald ran over and knelt down on one knee: "Qi two generals, an army of two million people set off from the south of the Qin State, and it is expected to reach the outside of the canyon tomorrow afternoon and join the enemy army. ”

As soon as the faces of the two of them tightened, the enemy's strength would increase to six million.

One million Qin troops set out from Liangcheng in the west and are expected to arrive at the mouth of the gorge the morning after tomorrow. ”

"Report that a Qin army of 500,000 people appeared in the north, and it is expected to reach the mouth of the canyon the day after tomorrow. ”

"Report ......"

The heralds reported the situation of the Qin army one after another, Ye Feng's face became ugly, according to the current situation, the Qin army would reach nine million people the day after tomorrow, accounting for almost eighty percent of the total strength of the Qin State.

Is Shi Zi crazy, leaving only 20% of the troops, isn't he afraid that the Han army will take the initiative to attack and kill them by surprise?

Ying Qi came over and said: "The latest information, Ying Luobin ordered the conscription of soldiers across the country, all men between the ages of sixteen and fifty, whether they are warriors or not, must all join the army to serve, warriors are incorporated into the front-line troops, and ordinary people are organized into transport teams, baggage teams and other types of troops. ”

Ye Yunyang happened to come over, heard the news, and said: "It seems that Daqin wants to fight hard with us, according to this method of recruitment, they can make up more than 10 million troops in a short time, plus the orcs that appear one after another, no wonder Shi Zi will adopt the strategy of only attacking and not defending, because in this case, we can only defend, and we dare not attack at all." ”

Ye Feng took a deep breath: "The next situation will be very serious. ”

Ye Yunyang shrugged: "Not necessarily, if Shi Zi and Ying Luobin die, the Qin army will collapse first, and the beasts will be leaderless, and it will be impossible to defeat the Great Han by relying on them alone." ”

Ying Qi's eyes widened: "Do you want to target Shi Zi and Ying Luobin, the last defeat has already shocked the snake, can you succeed?"
