The sharp sword blade cut through the light armor, and the sharp arrow shot through the round shield. With dull sounds one after another, Qi's soldiers fell into a pool of blood one after another.

He didn't seem to pay too much attention to the results in front of him. When the sound of gold was heard from his rear, the Wei army who came forward quickly returned to the formation.

Riding on the horse and looking out, he saw smoke and dust rising not far away, and a trace of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the hundred generals responsible for commanding the Wei army.

"Come so fast!"

After sighing secretly in his heart, this Wei army general no longer wanted to fight and gave the order to retreat to his soldiers.

The originally fierce battlefield calmed down in an instant, leaving only the corpses of the Qi army who could no longer stand up.

A moment later, when the Qi Army's reinforcements arrived and took everything in sight, the eyes of the Qi Army's thousands of generals were only red.

"ah!"

The sharp sword was unsheathed, and a shout filled with hatred and anger echoed between heaven and earth.

…

"Drive... drive... drive..."

The sound of short urging horses continued to echo, and the hurried messengers delivered bad news to the Qi army general Tian Ji.

"Reporting to General, one of our scouts was attacked by the Wei army. The Wei army moved extremely quickly. Our army's reinforcements could not support it in time, and the entire scout army was annihilated."

"What!"

Before the commander-in-chief Tian Ji could respond, the deputy general on the side immediately said: "That's it again!"

After finishing his words, the deputy general turned his eyes to the commander-in-chief Tian Ji, "General, in the past few days, the Wei army has launched attacks on our army one after another. Most of them were sudden attacks launched by small groups of elites."

"The general believes that the purpose of Wei's actions is not to defeat our army, but to delay our army's advance."

"That's right!" Regarding the judgment of the deputy general, Tian Ji, as the chief general, also held the same view, "Today, the most precious thing for our army is time. At one moment every night, your Majesty, the country of Qi will be in more danger.

.”

"Someone is coming!"

"The end is here!"

"Pass my general's order..."

Just as Tian Ji was waiting for the military order to be issued, a shout came from the rear again.

"Report..."

"General, the Wei army just launched a surprise attack on our grain transport team, causing heavy losses in our army's grain and grass supplies."

The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.

The grain and grass baggage has a great impact on the morale of an army. Now that there is a problem with the family's grain and grass baggage, even the deputy general Tian Pan's face suddenly showed a look of anxiety.

"No need to worry, officers and men. As long as our army can reach the east of Changguo and join the supporting army led by your Majesty, the food, grass and baggage will naturally be solved."

As a veteran on the battlefield, how could Tian Ji not know the importance of food and grass to an army.

In fact, in his heart, he was also heartbroken by the loss of food and baggage. However, the morale of the army had been reduced a lot due to repeated attacks by the Wei army. How could he, as a general, show panic because of this?

His left hand subconsciously held down the long sword at his waist, and Tian Ji loudly ordered: "Send my general's order to speed up the army and make sure to cross Changguo tomorrow."

"Follow orders."

…

"General, our army launched a surprise attack on the flank of the main force of the Qi army yesterday. It can be said that we achieved a lot."

"Yes, our elite army is far superior to Qi's army. If we compete in combat prowess, even the martial arts warriors of Qi are no match for our military soldiers of Wei Dynasty."

"Now that the soldiers of Qi have declined and their supplies of food and grass have been damaged, our army will definitely be able to destroy the main force of the Qi army in one fell swoop this time."

Compared to the fact that the houses of the Qi army were experiencing continuous rain at this time, all the Wei army generals in Changguo City had more or less smiles on their faces.

In fact, in the past few days, the Wei army, in accordance with the orders of the general Gongsun Yan, launched an offensive against the main force of the Qi army coming from Qingshi Pass, and achieved many achievements.

However, despite the sound of celebrations coming one after another behind him, Gongsun Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, kept looking at the map in front of him.

"Qingshi Pass is only more than a hundred miles away from Chang State. Although our army's successive raids in the past few days have successfully slowed down the Qi army's advance, at most 50,000 Qi troops led by Tian Ji will arrive near Chang State tomorrow."

After some analysis, Gongsun Yan slowly withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the Wei army generals behind him.

"What do you generals think?"

"Everything is as the general said."

Facing Gongsun Yan's gaze, the smiles on the faces of all the Wei generals present immediately disappeared, replaced by solemn faces.

"The reason why the Prime Minister deployed our army in Changguo is to ask our army to firmly block Tian Ji's troops coming from Qingshi Pass on the front line of Changguo."

"At least until Xiangguo successfully leads the main force of the army, our army cannot let a single soldier of Tian Ji's army escape Changguo."

"Generals, don't be complacent just because of the small gains. Our army is only 20,000, and Tian Ji's troops have 50,000 elite troops. The burden on our army's shoulders is not light!"

Facing Gongsun Yan's eloquent analysis, the pride and underestimation of the enemy in the hearts of the Wei army generals immediately dissipated for the most part, and everyone only felt that their shoulders were heavy.

"I am willing to listen to the general's instructions."

"good."

Seeing that his words had an effect, Gongsun Yan immediately returned to the map.

"My general ordered all the troops to stop attacking Tian Ji's troops, and all the soldiers under his command should return to the state of Chang."

"The frontline scouts always pay attention to the movements of Tian Ji's troops. I want to know the movements of this army at all times."

"Here."

At this moment, all the generals of the Wei army who were present showed their side as veteran generals on the battlefield. There was no shirk or wrangling, but only absolute obedience to the orders of the general.

Nodding with satisfaction, Gongsun Yan's eyes fell on the map again, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

His right hand formed a fist and he suddenly moved forward. With a "bang" sound, Gongsun Yan's right hand suddenly hit the map.

Looking at the fist that landed in the southwest of Chang Kingdom, Gongsun Yan, who was as sharp as a sharp sword at this moment, yelled out one word.

"war!"

…

The capital of Qi State is Linzi.

"Woo..."

Along with the long sound of the horn, there was immediately the sound of wind and cranes on the solid city wall of Linzi.

Under the purple uniform flags, archers, sword and shield warriors, and halberd soldiers stood ready, ready to deal with the Wei army's formation outside the city like a sea of ​​red.

As a senior official of the Jimo State of Qi, Zhongshou had already changed out of his official uniform, put on his armor, and stood on the city wall with the soldiers who stayed behind in Linzi.

Silently looking to the west, Zhongshou's thoughts couldn't help but go back to that night a few days ago.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, the leader of the clan can only do so much for the country of Qi."

Holding the long sword at his waist with his left hand, he looked at the Wei army's formation outside the city, which seemed to be almost invisible. A look of determination appeared in Zhongshou's eyes.

Even though he already knew the final outcome, he still wanted to fight to the end for the sake of the king and the country of Qi.

Even if you end up dying on the battlefield...
