As soon as Qilin appeared with Qi Tianlin, General Zhendong stood by with a long sword in his hand and shouted.

Two or three rows of archers on the city wall shot arrows towards the city gate in a tense and orderly manner!

At this time, Qi Tianlin was in a coma. As soon as he and Qilin appeared, they were surrounded by archers.

A major general immediately reported to the general next to him:

"General, look, these two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"

General Su Changyuan of Zhendong turned his head and saw Qilin in strange clothes. He immediately gave the order:

"No matter who it is, as long as they are not our soldiers, kill them without mercy!"

Because Qilin blocked Qi Tianlin's face, Su Changyuan didn't see that the man in strange clothes was holding the emperor of Da Qi in his hand!

The major general was about to swing his sword to kill Qilin, when a huge stone was thrown onto the city wall by a catapult from the north.

Several archers were killed on the spot, and Qi Tianlin was also awakened.

Qi Tianlin suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an arrow flying in and about to hit the major general.

Qi Tian's eyes narrowed and he reached out to grab the sharp arrow.

And at this moment, General Su Changyuan finally saw his face.

Su Changyuan was shocked: "Your Majesty?"

After all, he was a general with military power. How could Su Changyuan not have seen their emperor? He recognized Qi Tianlin at once.

After Qi Tianlin threw away the sharp arrow in his hand, he frowned and walked to Su Changyuan, saying hurriedly:

"It's me. What's going on now? Why did the fight start?"

Su Changyuan didn't have time to ask how the emperor came. The most urgent thing was to tell the emperor about the situation in Shangyangguan.

"The northern border military camp has increased its military strength several times since I don't know when, and has issued a declaration of war. Yesterday, they suddenly attacked our camp."

"We can no longer defend our camp, and we have lost four or five soldiers. In order to hold Yangguan, we can only retreat to the city and think of a solution."

"But the enemy relied on their large numbers and sophisticated weapons and pursued us all the way to the city gate without stopping."

"The city gate is the last line of defense. If the city gate is breached, the lives of the people of Shangyang Pass will be threatened."

While listening to Su Changyuan's report, Qi Tianlin looked outside the city gate.

At the city gate, the army from the north is coming. You have already forced the army of Shangyang Camp to the city gate.

Looking around, the number of soldiers facing the north is huge. The flat land around the city gate is filled with densely packed soldiers, with no end in sight.

The first few layers had shields, and no matter how hard Ren Daqi's archers shot, they could not break through them.

Even if the Da Qi archers set their arrows on fire, they would not be able to defeat the enemy's powerful formation.

The deployment of troops in the north was like this: there were shields in the front, archers behind the shieldmen, and behind them were the troops carrying huge logs and long ladders.

The battle in the middle was composed of countless catapults, which slowly approached the city gate and threw stones at the city wall.

Behind the catapult were cavalrymen riding tall horses and holding spears!

The largest number of infantrymen all followed at the end of the team.

How could the Daqi army resist such a huge battle with no way to break through?

The Daqi soldiers who were fighting hard in the front were not only unable to break through the shields, but were also killed by the long swords that suddenly appeared from the shields.

They had no shield to defend themselves, and there was only one outcome for them - death.

In this way, the last group of troops outside the city gate died at the hands of the enemy.

Qi Tianlin retracted his gaze, his brows knitted deeply, with a puzzled look on his face:

"We have deployed 200,000 troops at Shangyang Pass. How can we let Beilin easily force you here?"

"Lord Su, you are a veteran with a lot of experience. You have always won every battle against Beilin and Dajin. How come you don't have the strength to defend yourself?"

"Look, our soldiers didn't even have shieldmen, how could they not be cornered by the enemy?"

"With an army of 200,000, we can't say that we can repel the enemy this time, but we can hold off the enemy for a few days. What went wrong to force us into this situation within a day?"

Su Changyuan sighed painfully, then explained:

"Your Majesty, the enemy is too vicious. I don't know what kind of poison Beilin invented. Yesterday evening, they took advantage of the strong wind to spread the poison. The wind blew towards our military camp. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers became weak all over in an instant."

"Before we could adjust, the army from the north had already approached the military camp. The soldiers were so weak that they couldn't even lift their shields or other weapons to fight back. It was already a blessing to be able to lift their swords."

"Time is running out. In order to avoid all deaths at the hands of the enemy, I will leave the less poisoned soldiers behind to resist, and all others will retreat back into the city to find ways to recover their strength."

"But before we could find a solution, the army from the north came to attack us."

"Your Majesty, in order to seize our Daqi land, Beilin really did everything possible this time."

Qi Tianlin took a look at the scene under the city gate, calmed down, and instructed Su Changyuan:

"Give the order, all our soldiers will not participate in the battle from now on. All those who can be deployed will be deployed to guard the city gates to prevent the enemy from having a chance to break through."

Su Changyuan was stunned.

If we don't fight, won't this give the enemy a chance to attack?

"Your Majesty, the enemy has ladders, archers, and catapults. If we don't leave anyone on the tower, the enemy will quickly climb up the long ladder."

"Also, Your Majesty, given the current situation, it will be very difficult to keep Shangyang Pass. For your safety, you should return to the court as soon as possible. We cannot waste even a moment here!"

Qi Tianlin said in a cold voice: "I can protect myself, you don't have to worry about it, you just need to take care of the city gate, and I will take care of the rest!"

Responsible? How?

Does the emperor want to defeat the massive army from the north by himself?

But even if the emperor is a martial arts master, he can't defeat a group of monkeys with his two fists!

"Your Majesty, please, your dragon body is important, please go back quickly. You are the ruler of a country!"

Now that the enemy has reached the city gate, Su Changyuan is very worried about the emperor's safety, so he kneels down and begs.

But before he could kneel on the ground, Qi Tianlin held him up.

Qi Tianlin said in an understanding tone:

"Lord Su, I know you have done your best and intend to defend the city gates to the death, but I now have a better way to reduce casualties and end the war. You don't have to worry."

Su Changyuan stood up and asked in astonishment:

"Your Majesty, do you have a better solution? Could it be that Your Majesty is personally leading the army?"

"You'll know what the solution is in a moment."

After saying that, Qi Tianlin looked at Qilin beside him and calmly ordered:

"Qilin, it's your turn next..." To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader.

Thinking that his master had finished speaking, Qilin hurriedly responded, "Yes."

Then he suddenly jumped down from the city wall!

Qi Tianlin was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He immediately approached the city wall, leaned out half of his body, looked down at the tower, and said loudly:

"Qilin, capture the leader first!"

However, Qilin has already shown his prowess under the city wall!
