"Dong dong dong..."

The exciting sound of war drums came from outside the pass, and the faces of the Qi soldiers on the Qingshi Pass wall immediately showed solemn expressions.

Looking at the infantry phalanxes of different colors in the distance, and looking at the flags representing different princes above these phalanxes, all the Qi soldiers could not help but clenched the sharp blades in their hands.

Rapid footsteps passed over the wall, and soon a slightly anxious figure appeared behind the Qi army general Tian Ji.

"General, the allied forces of the princes outside the pass have been formed and may launch an attack on our Qingshi Pass at any time."

At this moment, Tian Ji held the sword straight in front of him with both hands, and an indescribable calmness emerged in his eyes.

"The general saw it."

After replying coldly, Tian Ji looked at the coalition forces confronting him outside Guancheng, and calmly issued an order: "Pass this order to the entire army, and prepare to meet the enemy."

"Here."

Not long after this response fell, waves of whistling sounds rang in the ears of Tian Ji and many Qi soldiers.

After a few breaths, huge stone bullets suddenly appeared in the sky. They carried huge kinetic energy and smashed towards the wall of Qingshi Pass.

"Stone bullets are coming, please avoid them."

Screams came and went as the stone bullets gradually approached, but unfortunately it could not stop everything from happening.

"Boom boom boom..."

Accompanied by loud noises like mountains collapsing, those huge stone bullets finally fell.

Some of these stone bullets hit the wall of Qingshi Pass, causing the wall to shake;

Some of these stone bullets also hit the middle of Qi's soldiers. Under the weight of more than ten kilograms, there were bloody corpses.

Taking in everything around him, General Tian Ji's eyes were not very moved.

This is not because Tian Ji is so ruthless, but because he has seen too many such scenes in the past few days.

The battlefield is cruel, and you never know when and how you will die.

The hands holding the sword tightened, and looking at the coalition soldiers advancing in the distance, Tian Ji gave another order in a cold voice.

"The bed ballista is ready..."

At this moment, somewhere on the wall of Qingshi Pass, a huge crossbow bolt about one foot long was placed on top of an equally huge bed crossbow by the Qi soldiers.

Slowly adjust the angle of the crossbow and aim the crossbow bolt at the coalition soldiers who are already within range.

"put……"

The loud sound caused by the vibration of the bow string made the ears of these Qi soldiers immediately buzz, and then the crossbow bolt flew directly towards the coalition formation.

After crossing the existing distance between the two sides, the crossbow bolt finally landed at the front of the coalition formation.

Accompanied by several muffled groans that were too late to respond, the crossbow bolts of the Qi army's bed crossbows mercilessly pierced the armor of several Song soldiers. At this time, they also became corpses one by one.

Due to the distance between the two sides, although the coalition forces and the Qi army did not directly fight, the stone bullets and crossbow arrows fired by the catapults and ballistas kept falling into the opponent's square formation at all times.

I don’t know how much time passed, or maybe it was just a short period of time, but Tian Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Qi army who was standing on top of the city, slowly withdrew his gaze.

Then his eyes turned to the south, and a look of expectation suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Military advisor, whether our army can win this battle depends on you."

The coalition's offensive on Qingshi Pass can be said to be very fierce, and the battle lasted from early morning until the sun set in the west.

When the sunset, which looked like residual blood, appeared in the sky, accompanied by a loud sound of gold from behind, the coalition forces stopped their offensive.

Black night gradually fell on the earth, and the coalition soldiers who had been tired for a day gradually fell asleep, but the lights in the coalition tent were still bright.

In the position of general, Gongsun Cuo, who was much more mature than before, took a secret report from Linzi, the capital of Qi State, and looked at the coalition generals in front of him with a somewhat solemn expression.

"Generals, I have a secret report from Linzi here, saying that Qi Army's military advisor Zou Ji has returned to Linzi from Qingshi Pass."

The news that Gongsun Cuo revealed at this moment, apart from making the allied generals present sigh at the pervasiveness of Wei's meticulous work, did not cause any waves.

Today, the strength ratio between the coalition forces and the Qi army on the Qingshiguan front line is about three to one. Although the Qi army can barely resist the strong offensive of the coalition forces with its solid defense, the weakness in military strength is still obvious.

Under such circumstances, it was completely normal for Qingshiguan to send people to Linzi to request reinforcements.

Just when everyone was thinking about how many reinforcements the Qi Congress would send to Qingshi Pass, Han Yue, the Han general sitting among the crowd, stood up directly.

"To report to General Gongsun, the general thinks that the return of Military Advisor Zou Ji to Linzi at this moment is not as simple as it seems."

After saying this, Han Yue glanced at the surrounding coalition generals again, and then continued to Gongsun Cuo in front of him: "According to common sense, if Qingshi Pass lacks troops, the Qi army can send a personal soldier to carry the autograph of General Tian Ji.

Go to Linzi to ask for help."

"But it was Zou Ji who was dispatched this time. Does it mean that the military advisor of the first army must go in person to ask for help?"

Han Yue's question immediately stopped everyone in the tent, and they felt that there might be some ulterior secret in it.

"Instruct all armies to send more scouts and report immediately if there is any change in the territory of Qi."

"Here."

…

"Your Majesty, Doctor Zou Ji has arrived."

"I know, you can go down first."

"Here."

When the figure of the palace attendant slowly disappeared into the main hall, Qi Gongtian Yinqi immediately stood up from the throne.

"Your Majesty, Zou Ji, pays homage to your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, doctor."

He solemnly helped Zou Ji up with both hands. Qi Gongtian Yinqi very naturally pulled Zou Ji to a table and sat down, while he took advantage of the situation and sat in front of Zou Ji.

"In the previous battle, the doctor and General Tian Ji took the initiative to attack and severely defeated the Lu-Song coalition forces in the first battle. This can be said to have greatly increased the momentum of our Qi army. Everyone was very excited to hear this."

Remembering the good news he had received from the front line, Qi Gongtian Yinqi couldn't help but smile on his face.

Before this, Qi State had suffered a lot at the hands of the coalition forces headed by Wei State. Now that they finally won a victory, Tian Yinqi felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

But the smile on Tian Yinqi's face did not last long, and was broken up by the solemn look on Zou Ji's face opposite him.

"Doctor, has the situation on the frontline changed?"
