Chapter 204 Siege War

"The news from Shuozhou City is that the master invited by the Great Qi State Master has brought magical medicine and weapons." The spy reported again.

This miraculous medicine is something that even foreign generals have heard of. The Emperor of Da Qi and the nobles treat it as a treasure and hide it away. Would they be willing to send it here?
He didn't believe that there were any supplies in the city at all and thought it was a show put on by the people of Da Qi.

To take a step back, if there really is a miracle drug, we should try to develop it.

"It's just a last-ditch effort." The foreign general's eyes turned contemptuous, "This woman is tougher than the previous commander."

They despised Da Qi, and even more so the people of Da Qi who sold out their country.

"You have been able to hold out until now, which is indeed impressive. Today, as long as you open the city gates and surrender, the people in the city will not be harmed."

Several soldiers in charge of shouting faced the city gate and repeated the general's words in unison.

Liu Yunyan sneered. It would be foolish of him to trust them.

Foreigners do not believe in the idea of ​​a gentleman honoring his promise, and they used this method many years ago.

As soon as the city gates were opened, they massacred the people of Da Qi in a fire.

The general defending the city, who was originally going to die for his country, never closed his eyes until he died after seeing this scene.

From the perspective of outsiders, Liu Yunyan picked up the bow and arrow, and the next second, a burning rocket broke through the air.

With the experience of the white cloth bag exploding last time, the foreign general reacted quickly and dodged the arrow, but the soldier next to him suffered.

Liu Yunyan waved his hand, and the soldiers in the row behind him pointed their bows and arrows downwards.

They really had no arrows to use, and if they really fought, they might not be able to hold out for long, so they had to show their confidence from the beginning.

The foreign general sneered, thinking that he could shock them like this? Dream on!
He will take over Shuozhou City today!

With an order given and the flag waved, the foreign army rushed forward to attack the city.

Some were rushing up with ladders, and some were generals standing beside catapults giving orders. The scene was grand and chaotic.

The defenders are here.

Under Liu Yunyan's command, all the remaining arrows were used at the beginning to prevent the foreigners from breathing.

Only by suppressing their momentum first can we have a chance to hold on!

The battle situation on the city wall was tense. The defenders of Da Qi were facing an enemy force that was more than ten times their number. Liu Yunyan, holding a spear in his hand, was ready to go to the direction where the foreigners tried to sneak in last time and counterattack them.

That is the weakest spot on the defense map. It cannot be compensated by simply increasing the number of garrisons. It is a problem of defensive buildings and terrain.

It is also the most dangerous place now.

"Second Miss, let us go! If something happens to you, Shuozhou City will be really finished." Uncle Zhou and several veteran generals shouted anxiously and earnestly.

"Uncle Zhou, you are more familiar with the situation in Shuozhou City, so you can be the commander. If I can only hide in the rear, what's the point of leading the troops? My father is still watching in the city!"

After saying that, he strode forward with his spear in hand.

Uncle Zhou was helpless but relieved. If they could survive today, he would definitely go to the spirit of Deputy General Liu.

Tell him that although the second young lady did not marry into a good family in the capital and live a peaceful life as he expected, she became a qualified general and was no less capable than any other man.

at the same time.

The expeditionary army, which was still on the way, also received the news that General Lu encountered heavy cavalry.

That was the strongest army of the foreigners. Even though it had only 2,000 men, it was rumored that it could defeat an army of 50,000.

This is not an exaggeration. Three years ago, five hundred foreign cavalrymen massacred two small countries in less than ten days.

The main commander of the army was Qi Tai, the great general of the Qi Dynasty. He had two deputy generals, Pang Qihong and Pang Cheng, both from the family of King Cheng's biological mother.

After some discussion, they decided not to go to Shuozhou, but to help General Lu first.

Foreign cavalry poses the greatest threat to Da Qi. If we can resolve this problem, it will be a great achievement!
As for the opinions of Wen Zhi, the national teacher, they had no intention of listening to them.

"The Imperial Master may not know how to fight. Who is more important, Shuozhou City or General Lu's army? Even if we randomly call a vanguard, we will know." Pang Qihong mocked. The saint believed him, but they did not.

"I said, let's go to Shuozhou first." Wen Zhi raised his eyes slowly. His voice was not loud, but the coldness in it made the air in the tent quiet for two seconds.

"I'm sorry, but I can't obey your order." Qi Tai said, "If we go to Shuozhou and cause General Lu to suffer heavy losses, who will bear the responsibility? Who can afford it?"

The two deputy generals named Pang echoed the sentiment, speaking particularly firmly and vigorously.

So what if they are military advisors? The soldiers under them obey their orders. What the hell, they want to be their boss?

It is true that military orders are as heavy as mountains, but as long as the decisions they make are correct, they will be rewarded afterwards, and even a saint will only reward them, not punish them.

Pang Qihong thought that the imperial teacher, who was used to being arrogant in the capital, would be furious.

Unexpectedly, Wen Zhi actually chuckled.

His attitude was casual, but the power of a superior was undiminished.

"It's really a headache for Da Qi to fall into the hands of you losers."

If there wasn't a deal involved, he would have definitely just watched the fun, but now he had to protect Da Qi, and having such people under him was already annoying.

He cursed at everyone present, so naturally everyone was unhappy and filled with anger.

The evil words confuse the emperor. Isn't it your Imperial Master Wen Zhi who controls the government? They are here!
Pang Qihong was about to speak.

A flash of cold light flashed, and the sharp tip of the sword almost cut through the skin on Pang Qihong's neck. If it was a little deeper, he would be dead.

It's not that he didn't dodge, it's that he couldn't dodge at all. When he reacted, he was already looking at Wen Zhi in front of him with horror, holding the sword lightly as if he didn't use any strength.

"If you disobey military orders, you can be killed on the spot."

Wen Zhi narrowed his eyes and said in a neither light nor heavy voice, "You'd better not hinder me from saving Da Qi."

"General Pang, if it happens again, you can try it."

As he spoke, he slowly put down his sword in front of Pang Qihong's frightened eyes.

"Shuozhou is a battleground for the rear. You want to join forces with the Lu family army in the northwest and fight against the heavy cavalry to gain merit. If you are surrounded and killed by foreigners in the valley between the two places, you will be quiet."

Foreigners have robbed so many small countries and raised heavy cavalry. These smart ones who rely on their family power will be wasted if they go there.

Although Commander Qi Tai had looked down on Wen Zhi before, he now had to marvel at his martial arts prowess.

I really didn't know before that he had such a skill.

His thinking is also limited. He has never seen a military advisor fight with force right away.

Moreover, he actually knew that there was a valley between the two places, where the terrain was special and easy to set up an ambush.

Could it be that he really has the ability?

People still don't quite believe it. They have already formed preconceived ideas and it's not easy to change them.

But I'm a little concerned about Wen Zhi.

Finally, after much deliberation, Qi Tai decided to go to the north first and then make a decision based on the situation.

If by the time they arrive, Shuozhou City has already been controlled by foreign tribes, there will be no need to waste manpower.

The army continued to march northward.

At this time in Shuozhou City, there was chaos on the city wall, and several foreign soldiers had already climbed up the ladders.

Liu Yunyan became ruthless and knocked the man down with his spear. Everyone was fighting hard to kill the enemy.

The veterans were extremely brave with their "magic weapons". The foreigner was still stunned looking at his broken sword and was stabbed in the heart.

But as time went on, they were injured and could not hold on for much longer.

Liu Yunyan gasped and looked towards the direction of Shen You's shop.
