While the top and bottom of Emperor Hill City were still arguing, the army of the Qin State had already entered the boundary of the Patriotic Kingdom, and on a hill, Yang Ming unfolded the map in his hand, and familiar names appeared in his field of vision.

Along a line that runs through the whole map, Yang Ming found a familiar name on one side of the line: White Horse.

"What's going on here in Hakuba?" Yang Ming closed the map and asked a military secretary who was requisitioned from Hanoi County next to him.

"Returning to General Zuo, the full name of Baima is Baimayi, named after Baimajin, the crossing of the big river, this place is within a radius of 300 miles, the only ferry connecting the north and south of the river, so there are a lot of business travel, and over time it has formed Baimayi, but the people here are only 3,000, and the soldiers are only 300 people, mainly used to maintain local law and order." The scrivener replied respectfully.

He understands how terrifying the young authority from Xianyang is in front of him, less than the year of the weak crown, with the temporary position of General Zuo, leading the army all the way, this kind of treatment, I am afraid that only the royal family of various countries can have, but Yang Ming is not from the royal family, so it is even more incredible.

If he can get the favor of such a person, then his future can be described as bright, even if it is not impossible to complete the leap in life, and even if it is not, considering the possible relationship between Yang Ming and Yang Duanhe, who has recently risen from the position of lieutenant of Hanoi County to the county guard of Hanoi, he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Hakumajin, a name that's been around for a long time." Yang Ming groaned.

"Li Ju." Yang Ming suddenly called out to the partial general Li Ju beside him.

"Humble duty." Li Ju came out of the line.

Because of his previous military exploits under the city of Yucheng, this time he went out with Yang Ming to defend the country, and Yang Ming directly promoted him to the commander of a thousand soldiers, in charge of thousands of cavalry.

"You lead the troops and horses of the headquarters, and I will allocate you another 2,000 foot soldiers to go to Baimayi, control them in your hands as quickly as possible, and isolate the north and south of the river, in case Zhao sends a large army to rescue and defend the country." Yang Ming said.

"No." Li Ju responded.

"If you can keep it, if you can't keep it, you must destroy the pontoon bridge of the big river." Yang Ming reminded.

Although it is unlikely that Zhao will send troops, but in the war, it is impossible not to make complete plans, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes.

Yang Ming is relying on the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command in exchange for his own future, and he himself is also responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

"People are on the pontoon, people are dead on the pontoon." Li Ju firmly assured.

"Don't be so nervous, after all, the advantage is mine." Yang Mingdao, although the advantage in my words does have a kind of magical magic, as if there is a mysterious curse, but it will not come true every time.

Subsequently, tens of thousands of troops slaughtered towards Diqiu City, along the way, the Qin army attacked lightly in four directions, and within two days, occupied all the transportation arteries up and down the country, and the entire transportation system of the country fell into the hands of the Qin army.

Although there are several county towns and more than 20 small towns in the territory of Weiguo, they have all become scattered islands, located on the plains formed by the impact of the big river, and they are closed to themselves, and they are only invisible to the Qin army that crisscrosses the avenues.

In mid-August, the advance of the Qin army appeared under the city of Diqiu.

All the big cities in the Central Plains, probably because there is no danger to defend, so that they all have a common characteristic, that is, the city is high and deep, and the city walls are built extremely strong, and the artificial power is turned into the danger of mountains and rivers.

The same is true of Diqiu City, although the country is small, but it is not poor, as one of the most densely populated areas in the world, agriculture is developed here, and the industrial and commercial industry is also extremely prosperous, although because of the reason of the Wei State, most of the armaments of the country have been abolished, but its equipment is still excellent, at least in terms of accuracy, it is not under the Seven Kingdoms.

"Emperor Hill City really lives up to its reputation, and it is not easy to capture such a city." Led a team of soldiers and horses, and 10,000 Dongjun soldiers and horses converged, and rushed to the city of Diqiu City, Wang Jian said to Yang Ming.

After all, Yang Ming has not led a large army alone, although he has the experience of the battle of Yucheng before, but in Yucheng, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Ming's command, although the command is skillful and chic, but Yang Ming also knows that a person can lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to be invincible, but leading 30,000 soldiers and horses is not necessarily, not to mention that now his soldiers and horses are 50,000 soldiers.

Such a soldier and horse can be called an army of 100,000 to the outside world.

Yang Ming did not dare to guarantee that he could command 50,000 soldiers and horses like the Battle of Yucheng, in order to prevent possible mistakes, Yang Ming used Zhao Ji's relationship to bring Wang Qian, a soldier who is not yet famous in the world, but has already won the qualification of the top general of the Seven Kingdoms, to his side.

With Wang Jian by his side, coupled with Yang Ming's own ability, it is enough to defend the country, even if it is to directly kill the Wei State with an army of 50,000 under his command.

Besides, letting the future Marquis Wu Cheng of the Qin State serve under his command and serve as his deputy general, such an opportunity is hard to come by.

Decades later, when the world talks about Wang Qian's exploits, it is said that Wang Jian was Yang Ming's deputy general, and that feeling seems very good.

Moreover, Yang Ming was able to realize that Wang Jian had already entered the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, and Wang Ben had been transferred to Qin Wangzheng's side and became a councilor, which was a sign that Qin Wangzheng wanted to win over Wang Jian for his own use.

In the face of such a situation, for Yang Ming, Wang Qian's cheap and high-quality manpower can be said to be used less once, but Wang Jian has risen completely, and Yang Ming naturally has to cherish the opportunity to use it.

"Although the city is dangerous, it is still people who guard the city, and it is difficult for the emperor to attack, and it will eventually fall on the guards." Yang Ming said.

"If you can destroy people's courage in one battle, you can get twice the result with half the effort." Wang Jian agreed.

"So, rest well today, attack the city tomorrow, and try the courage of the defenders." Yang Ming said.

As the Qin army's barracks settled under Diqiu City, the atmosphere in Diqiu City was extremely depressed.

"Has the Courier ever been sent?" On the wall of Diqiu City, Wei Jun looked at the Qin army camp under the city like a long dragon, and asked the general Gongsun Yu beside him with a slightly pale face.

"It has been dispatched, but it may not be able to reach Daliang and Zhaodu, the Qin army's actions are too fast, the army has not pressed the border, and has already sent light cavalry to cut off all the traffic arteries." Gongsun Yu said solemnly.

"So, now that Weiguo is going to face the Qin army outside the city alone?" Wei Jun's face turned even paler when he heard this.

"There is no shortage of smart people on Zhao Du and Da Liang's side, and they may take the initiative to send troops." Gongsun Yu comforted.

"Yes, if the country is lost, the Qin State will be completely in possession of the areas on both sides of the river, whether it is Zhao Capital or Daliang, they will definitely not sit idly by and watch such things happen." When Wei Jun heard this, it was like a man who had fallen into the water and grasped a life-saving straw.

In the long night, countless people in the city of Diqiu City could not sleep, and tens of thousands of Qin troops outside the city slept with them, bringing too many nightmares to their sleep.

As a general of the Patriotic Guard, Gongsun Yu lived directly on the city wall, although the Qin army showed no signs of attacking, but this kind of thing, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

As the sun tore through the night here, the defenders of Diqiu City, who had not rested all night, woke up one by one in the sound of the war drums of the Qin army, compared to the defenders of Diqiu City, they couldn't sleep at night, and the Qin army rested very well, eating breakfast one by one, tidying up the battle armor and soldiers in the rest, waiting for the order to attack.

On the city wall, Gongsun Yu looked at the movements of the Qin army outside the city, and looked at the state of the defenders on the city wall, but his heart was already unfazed, and the current embarrassment was already in his expectation.

"Right now, if you just defend it, you can't hold it, and the Qin army may not have broken through the Emperor Hill, and the morale of the defenders will collapse first." Gongsun Yu said to the deputy general beside him.

"The fierce name of the Qin army is known to the world, and it is normal to fight with it, and to be cowardly without a fight, what can we do." The adjutant replied.

"It's man-made, the Qin army is not invincible, no matter how fierce the Qin army is, it is far from the defeat of the great river of the year, and the danger of the near middle is concerned, as long as we plan properly, we may not be able to reverse the tide of the war." Gongsun Yu said.

"What does the general mean?" The adjutant general hesitated.

"When the Qin army attacks the city, I am ready to lead a team of elite soldiers to find an opportunity to kill out of the city, kill the Qin army by surprise, do not seek a big victory, only need to defeat the Qin army, let the defenders and people up and down Diqiu City see that the Qin army is not invincible, and increase the confidence of the defenders and the people to defend the city." Gongsun Yu said.

"General, isn't this too risky?" The adjutant general was shocked and said that in the current situation, Gongsun Yu, the general of the patriotic country, still wanted to fight back, such a thing, in his opinion, was too unbelievable.

Although Gongsun Yu is the general of the country, but the country is too small and weak after all, and the specific gold content of the general is really a very debatable question.

"My sword hasn't drunk blood for twenty years, and now it's time for it to be unsheathed." Gongsun Yu pressed the long sword on his waist, and a scorching battle intent erupted in his old body.

Looking at Gongsun Yu in front of him, the deputy general suddenly saw a twilight tiger living in the mountains, although the tiger was old, but the momentum was not dispersed.

In that moment, he suddenly realized why Gongsun Yu was able to become the general of the country.

For as long as he can remember, Gongsun Yu has been a great general of the country, and now a full thirty years have passed.

In the past thirty years, Gongsun Yu has never led troops to fight, so that Gongsun Yu only has the reputation of being a master of swordsmanship, but other than that, it can be said that he has nothing, but he has always been the general of the country, even if the country has experienced the drastic changes of the year, it is still the case.

He once couldn't figure out the question, but now he seems to see the answer.
