Since Zhou City asked for orders to send troops, left Chen County, marched to Suiyang, recruited troops near Suiyang, expanded its power, and sold part of Zhou's assets in Suiyang to expand military supplies.

Moreover, Zhou City is frequently active in East County, Jibei County, many counties have heard the sound of begging, Zhou City has also expanded from the initial 3,000 soldiers and horses to 13,000 people, standing out from the crowd and rising in Jibei County.

At this time, under the city, the Zhang Chu army of Zhou City was divided into three major formations, the left and right two formations were wings, and the middle was the main array, with 9,000 soldiers and horses, mostly infantry, holding Changge, glaring at Licheng.

A red Zhang Chu flag fluttering in the wind, the highest flag in the middle, the flag on the book 'Zhou' word, in front of the flag Zhou City riding a horse and standing, beside him, there is Chen Ping on the left, Li Yan on the right.

At this time, the left and right wings carried a ladder for every ten people, and they were waiting for the order to charge, and behind them, five hundred archers were also ready to attack, and the shield soldiers had already raised their wooden shields to make cover for the erection of the ladder.

At this moment, a big war is about to break out.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Shi slowly raised his right hand, the roaring war drums slowly sounded, Zhang Chujun raised their weapons, shouted might, and the two wings of military horses also rushed forward at this moment, shouting, and the sound of low horns broke out together, and the war began.

As early as half a month ago, when Zhou City marched into Jibei County, they had guessed that there would be this day, Licheng was a land and water rush, and it was a place where soldiers would fight.

At this time, He Yongxian, the defender of Licheng, stood on the city tower, staring into the distance, at this moment, Zhang Chujun finally launched an attack, the enemy army surged forward like a tsunami, getting closer and closer, and soon, Zhang Chujun finally entered the attack range of the Qin army, He Yongxian raised his right hand and shouted: "Archery!" ”

On the city tower, heavy crossbow beds, bows and arrows, and crossbow arrows were fired together, and a terrible cry suddenly sounded under the city tower, but Zhang Chujun did not stop attacking, they still rushed and rushed towards Licheng.

Many wooden shields could not resist the powerful crossbow arrows of the Qin army and were shot through, and some crossbow arrows killed three people in a row, piercing them to death together, but this did not deter the strong Zhang Chujun, they still rushed forward desperately, only for the dream in their hearts, only for the words of Zhou City, and to restore the Great Wei.

"Boom...... Boom ......" came one after another, the cloud ladder was on the head of the city, the barb hooked the wall battlement, Zhang Chujun held a wooden shield in his hand, and began to slowly ascend the city, on the other side, Chen Ping and Li Yan had drawn their swords in their hands, they waved forward, and said in unison: "Kill!" ”

The main force of Zhang Chu's army finally attacked, and nearly 5,000 infantry rushed hard, and they launched a final wave of fierce attacks on Licheng.

On the city tower, the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, no matter how they defended, the rolling wood thunder stone kept falling, but it could not stop the attack of Zhang Chujun, there were constantly Zhang Chujun climbed up to the city, killed the Qin army, the Qin army was in groups of three or five, besieged and beat the soldiers of Zhang Chujun, at first, the two sides had a huge disparity in strength, Zhang Chujun suffered heavy casualties, but in the later period, more and more Zhang Chujun staggered the city tower, and the Qin army began to gradually lose support, and some even turned around and fled.

On the other hand, He Yongxian has a sword in his hand, participated in the battle, more and more Zhang Chu army poured into the city, he knew very well in his heart that Licheng might not be able to hold it, but the persistent belief and loyalty to the Qin State made He Yongxian not give up Licheng and escape alone, at this time, he had killed more than ten people, and Zhang Chujun, who was constantly pouring up the city, began to surround him.

But He Yongxian was not afraid, he was still fighting desperately, suddenly, a long shot stabbed into He Yongxian's back, and the huge pain made He Yongxian stumble and half-kneel, but at this moment, the swarming feather arrows instantly engulfed He Yongxian.

He Yongxian turned into a hedgehog and fell in a pool of blood covered in arrows.

One by one, the banners of the Qin army were pulled out // out and thrown into the city, or thrown into the fire, the raging fire was still spreading, but Zhang Chujun had captured the city tower and opened the city gate, accompanied by the dull sound of "only quack", the south gate of Licheng County was opened, and Zhou Shi saw that the city had been broken, he couldn't help laughing, waving his sword and shouting: "Follow me to kill it." ”

More than 3,000 Zhang Chujun followed Zhou City, galloped on horseback, and headed towards Licheng.

。。。。。。

Di County, located in the west of Linzi County, adjacent to the Ji River, is the first line of defense for the Zhou army to enter Linzi County, at this time, an urgent letter has been sent to the desk of Xu Yuan, the county commander of Di County, next to the letter, there is a wooden box, in the box, with white ash containing a human head, this head is the head of the city guard He Yongxian.

At this time, Xu Yuan was extremely depressed, this letter was a letter of persuasion from Zhou City to Di County, if Di County refused to beg to surrender after half a month, Zhou City would wave the army to the east, and a force broke through Di County and marched to Linzi.

It can be said that Linzi belongs to the capital of Qi and is the land of Qi, if Zhou City is just to restore Wei, he can march westward, cross the Yellow River, and march to Hanoi, but he is advancing eastward, what is the purpose?

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, he really didn't have any clue, was it a battle? Is it down? It's all just in your own thoughts.

But in any case, Xu Yuan was unwilling to surrender to the bandits, but the huge Licheng could not be guarded, could his small Di County resist the army of Zhou City?

Xu Yuan let out a long sigh and paced in the house, at this time, the county Cheng who had been silent on the side sighed: "I heard that the bandit army has been very prosperous in the past two years, they have broken through the Hangu Pass and entered the pass, whether Daqin can survive this catastrophe is unknown, it is better to ......"

As soon as his words fell, Xu Yuan waved his hand impatiently and sighed: "If Great Qin is dead, I don't have to be so distressed, but Great Qin still exists, can I sell my country to seek glory?" ”

When Xu Yuan said this, he looked at the county and said: "Besides, the bandit army has always had no morality to talk about, they like to kill officials and raise their prestige. ”

The county Cheng heard the blame in Xu Yuan's words, he didn't dare to persuade again, so he had to bow his head and remain silent, and the house fell into silence again.

At this time, the soldiers outside the door shouted: "The city guards Tian Dan." ”

A middle-aged officer walked in quickly, he was wearing leather armor and a long sword at his waist, and he had come to Xu Yuan at this time, kneeling on one knee: "Say hello to the county commander, please say hello to the county lord." ”

When Xu Yuan saw Tian Dan coming, he nodded with a smile: "Get up." ”

Tian Dan got up and said in a deep voice: "My lord, what is the matter with you being in such a hurry to find me?" ”

Xu Yuan pointed to the wooden box on the table and sighed, "You go and take a look." ”

Tian Dan followed Xu Yuan's gaze, a wooden box was very conspicuous, he walked over, opened it and saw that it was a dried head, next to the wooden box, there was a letter, he opened the bamboo slip, looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is the bandit army going to Di County?" ”

Xu Yuan nodded, and said hatefully: "It's hateful, my Di County garrison is less than a thousand people, and it's too difficult to retreat from the enemy......"

Xu Yuan sighed again, there was a brief silence in the room, Zhou Shi, Tian Dan stared at Xu Yuan, and said softly: "My lord, what do you need me to do?" ”

Xu Yuan looked at the county and then at Tian Dan, and said resolutely: "Immediately recruit the people, garrison the city, and don't give the bandit army any chance!" ”

"Are you really ready to defend it?" Tian Dan asked again, and Xu Yuan nodded resolutely: "I want to live and die with Di County." ”

Tian Dan didn't ask anymore, he looked at the county Cheng, and seeing that he also nodded in agreement, Tian Dan turned around and walked quickly outside the house.

。。。。。。

Back home, it was already sunset, Tian Dan strode into the front hall, threw the sword on the table, the fatigue of the day also surged all over the body, Tian Dan sat on the soft seat, half leaning on the table, and fell into contemplation.

In the past, the State of Qi dominated the land of Shandong for generations, how powerful and magnificent, but after the rise of the violent Qin, the Six Kingdoms were gradually swallowed, and the State of Qi also disappeared with the invasion of the Qin State.

But now, Zhou Shi is slightly Weidi, and Wuchen is slightly Zhaodi, all of them are seeking their own foundation, and he, as a descendant of the Qi royal family, cannot serve the country with his body and rejuvenate the Qi country, so he can only sigh here alone.

Tian Dan knocked on the table angrily, and with a "bang", Tian Shi, who had just walked into the front hall, was startled, he looked at Tian Dan, who was half-leaning on the table, and said softly: "What's wrong with my father today?" ”

At this time, Tian Dan realized that his son Tian Shi had come, he sat up lazily, pointed to the soft seat opposite, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”

Tian Shi walked over and sat down, at this time, Tian Dan sighed: "Zhang Chujun has hit Licheng, Licheng guard He Yongxian died in battle, soon, Zhang Chujun will continue to march eastward, march to Di County, the county order asked me to recruit troops to defend the city, I am bored about this matter." ”

When Tian Shi saw his father say this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Has my father encountered any difficulties?" Do you need my help? ”

Seeing his son say this, Tian Dan couldn't help but smile bitterly, the bitterness in his heart can only be experienced by himself, I am afraid that Tian Shi will not be able to understand it, and the recovery of Qi is just an unattainable dream, how to keep Di County is the most urgent problem to solve.

When Tian Dan was hesitating, Tian Shi said again: "Why didn't my father invite my uncle Tian Rong and Tian Heng to come and discuss?" Perhaps, they will have a way. ”

His son's words reminded Tian Dan, who was at a loss, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "If you don't say it, I forgot, you go and invite them to come to the house, just say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Tian Shi sang a promise, got up and left, at this time, Tian Dan wandered a few steps in the house, and fell into deep thought again.

。。。。。。

The side room of Tianfu, this is an extremely secret room, except for Tian Dan father and son, only Tian Heng and Tian Rong have been here, at this time, Tian Dan, Tian Heng and Tian Rong sat around the small table, and fell into deep thought with each other.

Tian Dan has just said his thoughts, and the two of them are also strongly in favor of recovering the Qi country, which is also their dream.

After all, Kedi County is not in the hands of everyone, how can they recover the Qi country?

Do you want to leave Di County and develop elsewhere? That's not the best way, and how can you get a response from the Qi people?

Just as the three of them were thinking about it, Tian Dan suddenly got up and laughed: "Haha, I have a way!" ”
