"kill……"

Outside Shaoliang City, a sudden cry of murder shot into the sky.

With deafening roars echoing around them, countless Qin soldiers rushed towards the solid city wall not far away.

Standing on top of the city, staring at the approaching black wave outside the city, Zhai Liang, the Shaoliang general of the Wei State, had a solemn look on his face.

“It’s finally here!”

After Zhai Liang uttered this sentence in a low tone, his left hand firmly pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his heartstrings were immediately stretched straight.

A gust of wind came from a distance, blowing across Zhai Liang's resolute face, and also blowing the flags erected next to him.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the red color on the high-flying flag came into his eyes. The solemnity in Zhai Liang's eyes was gradually replaced by a touch of determination.

The left hand that tightly grasped the hilt of the sword loosened a little, and the excitement in his heart was slowly calmed down. Zhai Liang appeared on the top of the city with his deep voice.

"All soldiers, guard the city defense and prepare to fight."

The order issued by the commander-in-chief Zhai Liang did not receive any verbal response, but every Wei army soldier was executing it with his own actions.

Footsteps sounded on the steps of the city wall, constantly transporting rolling logs and rocks to defend the city forward;

Soldiers holding halberds stood on top of the city, always ready to fight the enemies who climbed on top of the city;

The crossbowmen stood between the female walls of the city wall, their powerful bows and crossbows ready, just waiting for the enemy to approach step by step.

At this moment, everything in the world became so oppressive, and the entire Shaoliang City was enveloped by a thick cloud of war.

"Crossbowmen, prepare..."

Hearing the orders ringing in their ears, the crossbowmen standing behind the female wall stared sharply at the outside of the city.

The heavy breathing gradually calmed down, and the enemy's figure became clearer and clearer. These battle-hardened Wei army crossbowmen silently waited for the target to come within shooting range.

Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps...

"put!"

Another command came out, and with the string of the crossbow in his hand vibrating, countless arrows flew out of the city.

Sharp clusters of arrows pierced the distance between the two sides, and gradually condensed into a dark cloud composed of dense arrows in the sky above the Qin army.

The next moment, arrows fell like drops of rain, landing in the Qin army's square formation outside the city.

Carrying the infinite power falling from the sky, these arrows shot through the Qin army's slightly thin defense very easily, and the sharp arrow clusters shot into the flesh and blood.

One by one, Qin soldiers fell on the way forward, and wails could be heard one after another in the Qin army's square formation.

At this moment, this cruel Shaoliang offensive and defensive battle has officially begun.

…

"Snapped……"

A crisp sound sounded in Anyi City, the capital of Wei State, which was more than a hundred miles away from Shaoliang City.

In the main hall of the Wei Palace, he gently took back his right hand that had just been placed, and looked at Sima Gongsun Qi sitting opposite. Wei Hou Wei Feng's face did show some worry.

"Sima, the Battle of Hexi between Wei and Qin has been going on for several months. For several months, our Wei State has been on the defensive, and even Shaoliang City has been besieged by the Qin army for a month."

"Facing the current war situation in Hexi, I wonder how Sima Wei should respond in the next step?"

Hearing Wei Feng's worries about the situation in Hexi, Gongsun Qi's face across from him still had a calm look on his face.

He stretched out his right hand and took out a black stone from the chess basket on the side, and slowly placed it on the chessboard. Only then did Gongsun Qi's eyes meet the eyes of Wei Feng opposite him.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Although the Qin army seems to have the upper hand in the Hexi battlefield, it is still too early to say who will win and who will lose."

"Just like the Shaoliang Fortress, the Qin army organized countless offensives in one month, but they were never able to break it."

After listening to Gongsun Qi's comforting words, Wei Feng's worries due to the unfavorable battle situation dissipated a lot.

He casually took a white piece from the chess basket on the side, and after thinking for a while, he dropped it on the chessboard.

"Snapped……"

Wei Feng looked up at Gongsun Qi and said with some emotion: "General Zhai Liang deserves to be called General Zhai Jiao. He was able to resist more than 100,000 Qin troops for a month with only 20,000 soldiers. It really makes everyone admire him.

ah."

"General Zhai Liang has been the chief general of the Hexi Army since the time of the late Emperor Wuhou. General Zhai Liang has been working hard in guarding Hexi for more than ten years. He knows the land of Hexi very well."

As he spoke, he took a sunspot from the chess basket on the side and dropped it on the chessboard in front of him very naturally.

"I heard that when General Long Jia served as the commander-in-chief of Hexi under the order of the emperor, General Zhai Liang also provided great assistance and even gave him a map of Hexi that he had drawn with many years of hard work."

"Perhaps this is why General Long Jia handed over such an important city in Shaoliang to General Zhai Liang to guard it."

After listening to Gongsun Qi's introduction and nodding slightly, Wei Feng took another white piece and landed it on the chessboard in front of him.

"Judging from the fact that Shaoliang has not been defeated by the Qin army in the past month, General Zhai Liang is indeed worthy of General Long Jia's trust."

"only……"

After he finished speaking with some hesitation, Wei Feng's eyes met those of Gongsun Qi opposite him.

"It's just that General Zhai Liang only has 20,000 soldiers under his command, while the Qin army has 110,000 soldiers. The gap in strength between the two sides is so huge."

"Even if we can rely on strong city walls to defend it, will our Wei army be able to defend the Shaoliang fortress in the long run?"

After Gongsun Qi heard Wei Feng's question, he did not respond. Instead, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Picking up a black piece from the chess basket on the side again, Gongsun Qi's eyes slowly moved on the chessboard in front of him.

The next moment, a sharp look appeared in Gongsun Qi's eyes, and he dropped the sunspot in his hand without hesitation.

"Snapped……"

Along with a crisp sound, the smile on the corner of Gongsun Qi's mouth grew more meaningful.

"Your Majesty, I accept the concession."

Wei Feng, who was still immersed in the war in Hexi at this moment, was stunned when he heard the words of Gongsun Qi opposite him.

When he came back to his senses and looked at the chessboard in front of him, the obvious situation between black and white was telling him one thing.

He, Wei Feng lost!

However, after staring at the chess game in front of him for a long time, all the worries in Wei Feng's eyes disappeared.

With an equally meaningful smile, Wei Feng looked at Gongsun Qi in front of him, and heard him say in a deep voice: "I lost, but the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground."

"Thank you sir for teaching me."

After giving a solemn salute to Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the door of the main hall.

"Come here, go and invite General Pang Juan."
