She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Shangguan Ziqi was speechless for a long time after hearing what Chen Shizhong said.

He didn't expect that his second brother cared so much about his background.

Perhaps Luo's death was too much of a blow for him to accept.

He did not choose to commit suicide, but chose to sacrifice his life for the country. He died a worthy death and lived up to his ancestors.

The dead are gone, leaving only a sigh.

If only he were really the king’s son.

Hey!

Fortunately, his mother gave birth to a younger sister for him.

Shangguan Ziqi was sad for two days, but then he got over his mood.

Canglan now occupies four cities in the Great Wei. It is estimated that they will advance towards Jinhe City after a short rest.

They vowed not to stop until Wei surrendered.

In this battle, nearly 10,000 people died in the Wei Dynasty and more than 10,000 people were injured, both seriously and lightly.

The military doctor was so busy that he had little sleep for several days.

As soon as Shangguan Ziqi arrived, Chen Shizhong handed the seal of command to him.

There are currently 80,000 soldiers in Jinhe City, including the wounded.

There are also garrisons in several surrounding cities to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

Although the main force of the enemy is in Jinjiang City ahead, there is no guarantee that they will not go to the nearby cities.

After Shangguan Ziqi had reorganized the military affairs, he summoned all the generals above the rank of lieutenant general to discuss how to deal with the enemy next.

A large map unfolded.

The terrain and cities to the north of Wei are clearly visible.

"According to our spies, the enemy has 70,000 troops in Jinjiang City. They captured four of our cities, leaving 20,000 men in each.

They also sent a part of their troops to besiege Rongyun City. Their goal was to advance towards the capital of the Great Wei from two directions.

Rongyun City has two natural barriers, a mountain on one side and a river on the other. If the front is well defended, the enemy will not be able to conquer it in a short time.

Luo'an City, Jinjiang City, Jinhe City, and the Jinyang City behind them have no barriers. This area is entirely plain. We rely entirely on our tactics and strength to resist the enemy. Everyone can express their opinions. Let's discuss the best deployment and prepare for the upcoming battle."

Shangguan Ziqi looked at the map, pointed at the symbols on it, and guided everyone to look, hoping to gather everyone's ideas to repel the enemy.

"Prince, the soil in Jinhe City is relatively loose. We can dig a trip ditch to block the enemy's cavalry. As long as the enemy's cavalry is in disarray, our chances of winning will be much greater." A lieutenant general expressed his opinion.

"This method is feasible. Prince, you can put some wooden spikes in the tripping ditch so that people and horses will fall in and never get up again." Another person added.

"Prince, when the enemy comes, let the shield bearers go in front first, with people stacked up and standing high to form a human wall. The archers do the same to increase the hit rate. The archers rush up the human wall in several batches to make the time interval between the two arrows as short as possible. Slow down the enemy's advance speed." A deputy general suggested.

"Sir, there's a pot on the city wall with boiling water. If we're defeated and have to retreat back to the city, pour boiling water on us first."

"Yes, use kerosene to burn it again."

"Throw more rocks at it."

......

Everyone shared their own ideas.

After listening to the opinions of the generals, Zhong Weiliang felt that these were the methods they often used on the battlefield. They could only stop the enemy temporarily, and eventually the two armies would have to fight to the death.

The terrain here is flat, so it's really hard to use any strategy.

He was new to war and had not yet truly witnessed the bravery of the Canglan people.

When he entered the city two days ago, he just watched from the city wall. It was all a fight of strength. If the prince had not brought people with him, it would have been difficult to win the battle and they would have had to retreat to the next city.

The forced march had exhausted him greatly. His riding skills were certainly not as good as those of the soldiers, and he often ran at the end. He had no idea how much dust was raised by the horses in front, and he often couldn't open his eyes.

He had never experienced such hardship in his life.

Suddenly, Zhong Weiliang had an idea.

You've been eating so much dust all the way that you can't even open your eyes?

"Your Highness, I have a little trick that you can use on the battlefield, but it's a bit damaging." Zhong Weiliang said with a smile.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Shangguan Ziqi was very curious.

Zhong Weiliang shared the little trick he had thought of.

The generals all looked at him strangely.

Can war be so insidious?

But everyone thinks that as long as it works, it doesn’t matter what tricks are used.

Unanimous agreement.

April 20th.

The Canglan army set up camp ten miles outside Jinhe City.

On April 22nd, an arrow was shot onto the city wall, and a letter of war full of contempt flew along with the arrow.

On April 23, a great battle broke out outside Jinhe City.

Shangguan Ziqi, as the commander-in-chief, stood on a tall chariot, wearing silver armor, a long sword slung at his waist, and holding four flags of different colors in his hands.

The war drums beat.

Two armies confront each other.

Canglan's cavalry vanguard rushed towards the Wei army's phalanx with unstoppable force.

When they were still five hundred feet away from the Wei army, several trip ropes suddenly rose from the ground.

The horse in the front row fell down suddenly, and the horses following behind were also tripped.

This move reduced the number of enemy cavalry charging forward by one-fifth.

The soldier who was pulling the trip rope in the dugout immediately jumped out and rushed towards the fallen cavalryman.

The battlefield in front suddenly became chaotic.

The enemy's second echelon of shieldmen and archers quickly formed up.

The Wei's shieldmen and archers also quickly formed a human wall.

Just as the enemy finished a round of arrows, the Wei army also shot out arrows, which were one section higher, and many of the enemy archers were hit.

After the rain of arrows, the sound of war drums changed.

Both sides rushed towards each other at the same time.

The Wei soldiers' phalanx did not become disordered when they charged forward.

When the two armies met, the Wei soldiers were divided into groups of ten, with two people in each group holding shields.

The entire battlefield was instantly filled with shouts of killing.

The sounds of swords clashing, horses neighing, and war drums intertwined.

The soldiers were so excited that their blood boiled, and their eyes were filled with the strong desire to kill the enemy.

"kill!"

This is a hard-fought battle.

Canglan sent out 20,000 troops, and Dawei sent out 25,000 troops.

Shangguan Ziqi kept an eye on the battle situation ahead, waving the flag in his hand constantly, directing the changes in the formation on the field.

However, in terms of physical strength, the Wei soldiers are still inferior to the Canglan soldiers.

Gradually, more and more people began to fall.

Shangguan Ziqi saw that the time was almost right, and suddenly changed his gesture, followed by an unusual horn sound.

The Wei soldiers in the field received this signal, and those who could free a hand put their hand into the clothes under the leather armor, then raised their hands and threw a handful of fine sand out, targeting the enemy's eyes.

At this moment, sand got into the eyes of many enemies, making it difficult and uncomfortable for them to open their eyes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Wei soldiers hit the enemy's vital points with a knife or a gun.

This incident happened too suddenly, and countless Canglan soldiers were killed or injured in an instant.

"Damn it, the people of Wei are so insidious." The enemy general was stunned for a while before reacting.

Sound the signal immediately.

But Shangguan Ziqi was not willing to let go of this opportunity. He waved his hand again and the cavalry rushed out to chase and kill.

The infantry, having tasted this sweetness, also rushed forward desperately, chasing and killing along the way, and would grab a handful of sand if they had the chance.

Each person was carrying two to three pounds of sand, enough for them to spread it dozens of times.

The Canglan Army retreated to the camp, and more than 10,000 soldiers in the camp came out to support them, but the Wei people were so bloodthirsty that they thought it was a rare opportunity, and they all fought bravely.

Shangguan Ziqi personally rode his warhorse to chase after them, harvesting enemy heads along the way.
