Qi State, Qingshiguan, Guanguan.

"Huhuhu..."

The sound of heavy breathing continued to echo in his ears, and Sergeant Qi looked forward with a somewhat blurred vision.

Looking at the Wei soldier opposite him, the Qi soldier gently pursed his lips that were already very dry, and raised the sharp blade in his right hand with some difficulty.

"kill!"

After a cry of killing, the Qi soldiers who gathered their strength suddenly exerted force on their feet, and rushed towards the Wei army on the opposite side with the long sword in their hands.

In an instant, the sound of two sword blades piercing flesh and blood was heard at the same time, and a pain came from the ribs of the Qi soldiers.

Not paying any attention to the bloody wound, the Qi sergeant suddenly drew out his sword and kicked the Wei sergeant out.

This confrontation came to an end in an instant. The soldiers of Qi were injured and the soldiers of Wei were killed.

After the life-and-death confrontation, Soldier Qi steeled himself and prepared to face his next opponent, when a metallic clang rang in his ears.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

Suddenly, a feeling of joy for surviving the disaster burst out from his chest, and a smile appeared on the face of Sergeant Qi.

"thump……"

A dull voice sounded at the critical moment, and the wounded Qi soldiers lost the support of their fighting spirit and could no longer keep their bodies standing.

After a long time, he finally used the weapon in his hand to prop up his upper body, and Soldier Qi leaned against the city wall with some difficulty.

His right hand rubbed the blood-stained leather armor for a while, and he finally touched a leather bag from his waist. A bright light suddenly appeared in Sergeant Qi's eyes.

This was Linzi's fine wine that was rewarded by the officers in the camp before this battle in order to encourage these elites to fight to the death.

This soldier was not like other comrades who drank up the hard-earned wine in three gulps. Being a simple man, he would always store good things and enjoy them slowly.

At this moment, after the war and the aftermath of the disaster, it is a good time to enjoy the fine wine that I have exchanged for my life.

He bit open the seal of the leather bag with his mouth, and a fresh fragrance suddenly entered the nostrils of the Qi soldiers.

"Mmm, it smells so good!"

Then a stream of sweet wine was poured into his mouth. At that moment, Sergeant Qi even had an idea in his mind. Even death at this moment was worth it.

"The Wei army retreated and we won!"

"The Wei army retreated and we won!"

"The Wei army retreated and we won!"

…

Continuous cheers sounded at the Qingshi Pass, like ocean waves, one wave after another.

Although the sound of ringing gold just represents the end of the Wei army's offensive today, for the soldiers of the Qi army guarding the critical moment, this is still a victory worth remembering.

At least, Qingshi Pass remained in their hands for another day; at least, they survived on the battlefield for another day.

Leaning against the city wall, Soldier Qi listened to the cheers ringing in his ears while enjoying the fine wine in his hand, and the smile in his eyes became brighter.

…

In stark contrast to the cheers of the Qi soldiers above the city, there was a somewhat depressing atmosphere in the Chinese military tent in the Wei army camp outside Qingshi Pass at this moment.

"General, we can't go on like this."

After being dull for an unknown amount of time, Long Jia, who was standing at the front of the team, stood up despite the inexplicable pressure from around him.

"Qingshi Pass is located in a dangerous location. It is the most important pass on the Great Wall of Qi, and it is also the biggest obstacle to our army's attack on Linzi."

"Precisely because Qingshi Pass is of vital importance to the Qi State, the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State in the past dynasties have not relaxed their efforts to repair the Qingshi Pass. This has also created an impregnable fortress in front of our army."

"The general understands the need to conquer Qingshi Pass and agrees with the general's determination, but the war must not continue like this."

"General, what General Long Jia said is true!"

Just as Long Jia finished speaking, Gongsun Cuo, who was standing on the other side, stood up and expressed his views on the battle situation.

If we want to talk about the deepest feelings for the soldiers of the Eastern Army, Gongsun Cuo, who has always been the commander of this army, undoubtedly has the deepest feelings.

In order for the war situation to go smoothly and to achieve the predetermined strategic goals, he was willing to accept cold death figures one by one.

However, it had been more than two months since he attacked Qingshi Pass, and his soldiers had to pay a heavy price every day, but Qingshi Pass showed no sign of being captured.

This situation was a bit difficult for Gongsun Zuo to accept. He could bear the price of blood, but the result of this price must not be meaningless.

"General, we can no longer waste the lives of soldiers like this!"

"Yes, General!"

"General, we can't go on like this!"

"General..."

Suddenly, the situation in the Chinese army's tent was fierce, as if the situation would be out of control at the next moment.

"Have you said enough?"

With just such a faint word, the originally noisy tent suddenly fell silent.

The already boiling generals of the Eastern Army seemed to have been poured over their heads by a basin of ice water, and they immediately became calm.

An expression as sharp as a sword radiated from his eyes, and Pang Juan's gaze swept across every general in the tent. And everyone he swept across couldn't help but shudder in their hearts.

.

"Long Jia, where is Gongsun Cuo?"

"The end is here!"

"According to our Wei State's military law, what is the crime of disobeying orders on the battlefield?"

Upon hearing Pang Juan's words, Long Jia and Gongsun Cuo looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces immediately became ugly.

"Reporting to the general is a capital offense."

"It's good if you know it's a capital crime." The next moment, Pang Juan's voice suddenly became louder, "Here comes someone!"

"exist!"

At the moment when he finished speaking, four armored elites walked in and bowed to General Pang Juan.

"Pull Long Jia and Gongsun Cuo out of the tent."

"Here."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Pang Juan was going to put Long Jia and Gongsun Cuo to death if they disagreed with each other, the faces of all the Wei army generals present immediately changed, and they all stood up to defend these two.

The chief begged for mercy.

It seemed that their pleas had an effect, and it seemed that the anger in Pang Juan's chest had dissipated a lot, and he silently sat back in his position as commander-in-chief.

"Since everyone is interceding for you, I will give you some mercy." The topic changed, and Pang Juan's expression suddenly turned sharp again, "But capital crimes can be pardoned, but living crimes cannot be avoided."

"Come here! Pull these two people out of the tent and beat them with twenty military sticks each."

"Here."

All the generals of the Wei army present watched helplessly as their two officers were pulled out of the tent by their personal guards, and then a dull voice mixed with a bit of suppressed screams of pain rang in everyone's ears.

It was not until the execution was completed and the guards responsible for the execution came to report that Pang Juan turned his attention to the generals in front of him again.

"If there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly."

"The last general will obey the orders of the superior general."

…

There is no airtight wall in the world. What happened in the Wei army's camp was quickly spread to Qingshi Pass by the Qi State secretaries hiding there.

After receiving the news from the commander-in-chief Tian Ji and reading it carefully, Tian Pan, the deputy general of the Qi army, immediately showed a worried look on his face.

"General, Pang Juan is using Long Jia and Gongsun Cuo to establish their authority and declare his determination to conquer Qingshi Pass."

"Exactly." What Tian Pan said played into Tian Ji's hands, "I am also worried about this matter."

"Pang Juan has made it clear that he must capture Qingshi Pass, and this is exactly what Qi State does not want to see."

"Although Qingshi Pass is strong, it cannot withstand the Wei army's attacks for many years. Sooner or later, the city will be destroyed and people will die."

"At that time, the gates of Linzi will be wide open, and our country, Qi, will be in danger."

After hearing Tian Ji's words, Tian Pan on the side immediately spoke up: "According to the news from everywhere, the Wei army's army north of Jishui has not made any changes. On the contrary, tens of thousands of troops have been added to the direction of Qingshi Pass."

"The general expected that this must be because Pang Juan saw a stalemate on his side and sent a letter to the King of Wei asking for reinforcements."

"Since the direction of Jishui is still safe for the time being, why not mobilize elite troops from it, together with the soldiers and horses that have been summoned in Linzi City in recent days, to rush to Qingshi Pass."

"In this way, the strength of our army will exceed that of Pang Juan's men. When the time comes, we can retreat to ensure that Qingshi Pass is not lost, and we can look for fighter planes to fight decisively with Pang Juan's men."

"No!" The moment he heard Tian Pan's suggestion, Tian Ji immediately gave his objection, "The Wei army's offensive in the direction of Qingshi Pass is indeed rapid and violent, but the Jishui defense line is equally important, and there cannot be any deviation."

"In this case, I will immediately write to your Majesty and request that the soldiers that Linzi has summoned in recent days be transferred to Qingshi Pass. As for the Jishui defense line..."

"We can't relax at all."

"The last general takes orders."
