The sharp sword is already in Yang Qi's hands.Why even...? "

"Qiao'er, since your heart is attached to him, why do you still doubt him?"

"I, I'm afraid, so I must minimize that possibility."

"This is the destiny. Hundreds of years later, the two treasures will return to the same owner. The long-term must be united, which is the general trend of the world. Fortunately, Yang Qi is not a bloodthirsty person who is good at killing. The four seas return to the heart, and the world returns to one. This is the track of history, and it is also his life experience."

Ling Yuqiao closed his eyes, and vaguely saw the heroic figure of that man galloping on the battlefield, running horse and wielding sword.

"Master, take care of him for me."

The author has something to say: the number of words is a bit small, so I can only try my best to change it.

☆, the dispute over the reserve

In today's court, there is impatience in the depression.

The emperor, who had been sick for many days and had not been in court for a long time, finally came to the court today, giving the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty a reassurance.

It's just that since the emperor sat on the dragon chair, he kept his eyes closed, and the servant brought up stacks of papers and stood at the bottom of the steps.The ministers couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, but felt that the emperor was not in a good mood. Even Eunuch Huang, who was beside the emperor, was trembling. Naturally, they didn't even dare to show their breath, and bowed their heads and knelt on the ground.

Slowly opening his eyes, he still had the same sharp gaze, but his pale complexion and the wrinkles around his eyes reminded people that this emperor, who was clearly in his prime, was very weak.

"My dear dears, please stay safe."

His eyes swept over everyone below one by one, as if he wanted to see through them.When everyone was confused, the emperor suddenly laughed.

"I just had a dream, as if I went back 30 years ago, the day when I ascended the throne. It was also here, and below stood the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty. At that time, I was young, but now I am at such an age. Hehe, the time has passed, A snap of the fingers," the tone suddenly became majestic, "It's just that, after so many years, I have never forgotten the uneasiness and fear in my heart that day."

No matter how talented you are, you can't understand it.The moment he sat on the throne, he became the No.1 in charge of life and death in the world, standing at the pinnacle of power, overlooking everything, that kind of inflated desire made people excited to crazy, but also frightening.Because once you get it, you don’t want to lose it. Losing is equal to death.

My father and my brothers were all like this, becoming slaves to power, and then being buried with ambition.

"Hehe, I'm getting old, and I always like to recall the past recently.

I have seen almost all of these memorials.All my lovers are paying attention.My sons, haha, are also working hard.I am very pleased. "

No matter how slow he is, he can still perceive the difference of the emperor today.All the ministers, except for a few upright neutrals, were all beating drums in their hearts, and even trembled slightly under the emperor's laughter.

"The most important part in the memorial is the selection of the King of Wu as the crown prince. I counted nearly [-] copies. Well, the King of Wu is indeed very good."

Looking at the pile of memorials with my eyes, my mind returned to the scene when King Wu was a child, when he inspected his homework, and how he practiced riding and archery at a young age, and then the scene of crying very sad on the day he left the capital for the fiefdom.

Ling Yuan closed his eyes, as if he wanted to stop this kind of thinking, but the assassin on the night of the birthday party automatically appeared in his mind, and... and the prince, whose body was full of wounds and blood.

With every breath, the pain penetrates deep into the bone marrow.The prince, my favorite son, died so tragically.

In fact, although Ling Yuqiao had people use ice to preserve the prince's body in the first place, it was a pity that the journey was far away, and it had already rotted to a certain extent when he returned to the capital, but this only made Ling Yuan feel more self-blame and distressed, and vowed to find him. A murderer to avenge the prince.

Until a few days ago, Ling Yuqiao brought a person into the palace, and that person was Yang Lin.

Ling Yuan opened his eyes suddenly, and said sharply: "Yongchen, a bunch of mediocre officials!".Ling Yuan walked down the steps, swept away the pile of memorials with a wave of his sleeve.

The people below fell to their knees in fright.

"You, you were blinded by him! No, you were all bought by him! You want to harm me, my prince! You, you..."

The emperor was dizzy for a while, Huang Jin hurried forward to support him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body, don't get angry."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to die yet! According to my order, Li Gu, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, will immediately lead someone to arrest Wu Wang Lingrui and put him in the prison!"

Those ministers whom the King of Wu had made friends with deliberately, were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground at this moment.There are no eggs under the overturned nest, and the king of Wu has fallen. How can their fate be better?

And the ministers who elected the other princes were also in a cold sweat, and they were afraid, but luckily there was no difference.

On the contrary, those who supported Ling Yuqiao felt more at ease, and admired the princess's wisdom and sophistication more and more.

In this way, King Wu was captured by Li Gu's men not far from the capital.In fact, the people placed in the palace by King Wu rushed to tell him the news, but after planning for so long, how could Ling Yuqiao let him slip away.Someone had been sent to guard his carriage and subdue him. Li Gu was also one of his own, so he just went through the motions and put him in the prison.

King Wu still couldn't believe what had happened to him. He struggled and shouted, "You are so brave, how dare you falsely preach the imperial decree, I want to see my father! I want to see my father! I am the future prince, hurry up!" Let me go!"

The hair crown fell off, the clothes were messy, and he was no longer the noble and elegant King Wu.

At this moment, Ling Lie was still on his way to the capital.From a distance, riding a fast horse, he ran towards this side, feeling vigilant in his heart.

"His Royal Highness Sixth Prince, an urgent message from the capital."

It was also spread in the capital that the king of Wu formed a party for personal gain and intended to rebel.For a while, everyone scolded King Wu.

Princess House.

"Princess is wise, King Wu has no power to stand up now. Without this opponent, the princess will be able to enter the East Palace smoothly."

"Hehe, thank you for your hard work. Although King Wu has fallen, the forces behind him have not been cleared. Without the will of the emperor, you should not act rashly. Just keep watching those people closely. If they can be used by me, you can also Not bad.

The emperor did not make a decree for a day, and made me the crown prince, so he dared not take it lightly. "

Busy until late at night, Ling Yuqiao was tired from excitement, but he couldn't rest yet.

Ying'er came in, "Princess, according to the news just sent back, the Sixth Prince received a secret letter on the road, which was sent from the palace. The contents of the letter are temporarily unknown."

"Huh? Find out as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Hmph, father, are you still not reconciled?Why push your children to this point.Then you can't blame Erchen.

Finally waited until dawn, Ling Yuqiao entered the palace early in the morning.

"Mother, how is the situation?"

"Everything in the palace is normal. I gave your father the medicine last night, and you will wake up in a while."

"Well, I hope things can be settled soon."

"Oh, why, do you want a son-in-law?" Chu Lingyue made fun of her daughter for the first time after being nervous for so many days.

"Mother!" Ling Yuqiao blushed in embarrassment.

But Chu Lingyue was touched.Hey, I don't know what happened to the man in Jiangnan.I don't even know when we will be able to get together.

"Queen, are you worried?"

"Qiao'er, there is something my queen wants you to agree to."

"Mother, please speak."

"In the future, if you become a great treasure, let your mother go free."

"What? Mother...want to leave?"

"Yeah, someone is waiting for me. And I've been waiting for this day for many years. I've already given up hope. It's rare that you... Hehe, let's talk about it when the time comes."

If in the past, Chu Lingyue was embarrassed to speak up, but now seeing the relationship between Yuqiao and Yang Qi, she believed that she could understand herself.

Thinking to himself, he didn't notice the sadness in Yuqiao's eyes.

"Go, go and see/Your father."

Ling Yuan just woke up, recalling yesterday's situation, his mood is desolate.

"Royal father, Wuyang pays you respects."

"Hehe, the family and the country are restless, how can we be at peace!"

Yuqiao frowned. "Father, take good care of yourself and recuperate. Next spring, you will be able to go out and enjoy the spring again, and go hunting on horseback."

"Qiao'er's mouth is still sweet, but if the decoction that my father takes every day can be as sweet, my father will be happy!"

Yuqiao stared at the emperor's face, not wanting to miss a single point.

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. That's what my father told Qiao'er when I was a child."

"Hehe, I didn't teach you to add things that shouldn't be added to my medicine!" The volume suddenly rose.

"Your Majesty..." Chu Lingyue was at the side, trying to say something.But it was interrupted by Yuqiao.

"Mother, let me have a private conversation with Father." Chu Lingyue was actually not interested in watching the scene where the father and daughter were at war, so she walked out quietly and retreated the servants.

"Father, I don't know what the father means by these words?"

"I'm just suffering from the wind and cold, how come I haven't recovered for so long, and I feel drowsy and confused every day."

"What about today?"

"today..."

"Father, my son-in-law just added some medicinal ingredients to the medicine to calm the nerves and help you sleep. It is not harmful to your body. Please don't make any mistakes, Father."

"Hmph, that's wrong. What about the prince?"

"Brother Prince, he was killed by someone sent by the King of Wu, what does it have to do with me?"

"If you could find the prince earlier, why would you kill him?"

"My son really didn't know where the prince was at that time?"

"But... But, can you not know the whereabouts of those killers? It's obviously you who deliberately let them go west, so that they have a chance to strike. Tell me, don't you?" Because of the excited and continuous words, Ling Yuan's chest rose and fell, and he kicked heavily.

"Hehe, father, you are wise. But, you know very well that no matter what, the crown prince will not escape death. If the King of Wu doesn't do anything, and if the minister doesn't do anything, don't you, father, have to do it yourself? Haha."

These words hit Ling Yuan's sore spot.Yes, colluding with the Huns, such a crime is unforgivable.

"Hey, are you satisfied now?" In the sigh, there was only helplessness left.

"This sentence, it seems that I should ask you. A letter to Sixth Brother..."

"You, you even know this! Heh, well, it's really amazing.

Don't worry, I just let Lie'er go back to Xiguan, be a general honestly, and live a safe life. "

Ling Yuqiao guessed Ling Yuan's words.

"Father, don't worry. My son is not a cruel person like Ling Ruina. He will treat his brothers and sisters kindly."

"Hehe, Qiao'er... hey, forget it, you go, I'm tired." At that time, you will understand that sometimes it is extremely difficult and dangerous to treat siblings kindly.

Ling Yuqiao walked slowly in the palace, looking at the scene, it was cold and desolate, it was about to snow.Suddenly, I missed Yang Qi very much.

Thinking of this, he quickly walked out of the palace gate, boarded the carriage, and returned to the Princess Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, Ying'er hurried over and waited until there was no one around before presenting a letter.

"Princess, it's not good. In the northwest, the Huns have invaded and started a war. This is specific information."

Ling Yuqiao forced himself to open the letter calmly.After reading it, the letter fell from his hand, and he only said, Yang Qi.

☆, Beacon flames rise

Dongling, the first year of Xingping, winter.

Hu Hanxie Chanyu, the Huns, sent his two sons, Lu Hun and Uwei, with [-] troops, to cross the Wushui River and invade Dongling.

When the news reached the capital, the ruling and opposition parties were shocked.It is destined to be an uneasy year, with internal and external troubles.

Ling Yuan looked at the frontline battle report in his hand and lowered his hand weakly.

"Come here, call Princess Wuyang into the palace."

When Ling Yuqiao entered the imperial study, what he saw was what Ling Yuan was writing at his desk.

In just half a month, father's original black hair quickly became gray and gray, and his figure became thin...

This scene touched the little softness left in Yuqiao's heart, but when Ling Yuan put down his pen and looked up at her, Ling Yuqiao clearly saw the helplessness and unwillingness in his eyes.

This is his truest thought, huh, huh.Ling Yuqiao laughed in his heart at his soft heart just now.

"I have drawn up an edict. From now on, I will call you sick and not go to court. I will let you be the supervisor of the country. You have full authority to handle all affairs in the court. Of course, the most important thing is the battle situation in the northwest. Did Qiaoer win the father? The Huns invaded, hehe, even the enemy will help you, it seems that the fate of my son of heaven is over. Anyway, if I don't have the heart to support this Dongling country, I will leave it to you.

Make some achievements, and when the court situation is stable, you will be the master of the East Palace. "

"My son, thank you, Father." Ling Yuqiao was in a very complicated mood at this time.

It is not that there are no female emperors in history, but in the absence of better male successors, Ling Yuqiao is No. 1.This greatly satisfied her pride and ambition, and also made her experience more legendary, which has mixed praise and criticism in later generations.

When Ling Yuqiao accepted the worship of hundreds of officials as a state supervisor, his desire for power and his dream of politics reached an unprecedented height.She is confident that she can be a great monarch.

"The military situation in the Northwest is urgent. Since my father has appointed me as the supervisor of the country, I hope that all the adults will cooperate with me to lead me Dongling through this difficult situation.

An order was issued to order General Xiao Heng stationed in Xiakou to increase his troops to Lianghuai with 2 troops, and General Song Tao stationed in Zhongzhou to bring 3 troops to Qizhou for reinforcements on the same day, and the dispatch was assigned to General Tian He.

Is the money and food from the household department in place? "

"Reporting to Jianguo, it's winter, and now we can only mobilize the grain stored in last autumn from various places. The combat preparation granary closest to Qizhou is enough for the front line to last for a month and a half. The household department and the military department have coordinated transportation matters. Snow has fallen to the west of Xiakou. Transporting grain brings great difficulties, but I will transport the grain to the front line as soon as possible."

"Well, Mr. Zheng has worked hard, and this time I should give him credit."

Ling Yuqiao was very satisfied with the work of the household department. He thought that Zheng Bao had been a small official in the household department because of his ugly face and was excluded by others. When Yang Qi was appointed as the servant of the household department, he found that he was talented and promoted him Today is the title of servant.

Hey, thinking of him again, I was full of irritability, because I couldn't get news of him in the first place, because I wasn't sure if he was all right.

After the court meeting was quickly concluded, Ling Yuqiao returned to the mansion and made some arrangements.

Northwest Front.

This time the Xiongnu sent troops suddenly, and the northwest battalion was the first to bear the brunt. The cavalry quickly crossed the Wushui River at night. The army was strictly governed, and the battalions in front only heard the sound of gongs and alarms, and they were involved in the battle.The front camp suffered heavy losses, and the flames immediately illuminated the night. Fortunately, they did not retreat, which bought time for the camps behind.

Xu Cheng and Tian Hu each led an army to withstand the charge of the Huns cavalry. When the remaining two armies were about to encircle the enemy from the flanks, the Huns withdrew their troops.

They come and go like the wind, and they don't know where to go. Only the burning tent and the bloody corpses on the ground prove that they really came.

Although Yang Qi had watched many such films on TV and made preparations in his heart in advance, he was still deeply stimulated by this scene. He could hear the painful groans and groans of wounded soldiers, and those who died here Some of them were young soldiers he had only met yesterday.Such a fresh life became a dead soul under the knife in an instant.

Chinese military account.

"How about the casualties in each battalion?" Tian He's eyes were burning brightly, wishing for fire to burst out of his eyes, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

"General, the first army, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion... all died in battle, including General Han," the voice choked up, "more than half of the remaining two battalions were also damaged. The second army and the third army had a small amount The rest of the armies were not injured. A total of 19 and 700 soldiers were killed this time, and about [-] were injured."

"How many Huns are there this time?"

"According to the visual inspection of the sentry that day, there should be more than 3 people, but only about 1 people attacked the camp."

"Huh? Tian He quickly thought about the countermeasures.

After the report was over, the tent fell into silence for a while.

There has been no fighting at the border for a long time, and this is the first time many soldiers in the army have seen such a scene.The generals with some seniority had stern faces at this time, and there were tears in the corners of their eyes. While the younger generals were frightened, they were also excited.

"General, our army has suffered heavy losses, and we must take it back from the Huns." They all scrambled to be the vanguard.

Tian He got a headache from the quarrel, "What are you arguing about! The Huns are not fools, they will not stand there, waiting for your forward troops to attack. Their whereabouts are uncertain, especially now that they have crossed the Wushui, and the northwest land is vast. Appears out of nowhere and hits you.

You might as well think about when and where the Huns will appear. "

Yang Qi thought for a while, and said, "General, although there have been minor frictions at the border for many years, there is no such violent attack as last night. The Huns must have plots. I wonder if there have been any recent changes within the Huns?"

When Yang Qi said this, Tian He remembered something,

"Not long ago, the spies reported that the Xiongnu had been suffering from drought since last winter, and this summer has been somewhat relieved, but the drought has become more severe since autumn, and food shortages have occurred. It is said that some tribes have already relied on slaughtering livestock to survive. Three months ago, the Xiongnu's internal The distribution of food was uneven, and there was a conflict between two tribes."

Yang Qi's eyes lit up, "The Huns are here to grab food."

"But, isn't that supposed to attack Lianghuai? Why did you attack my Northwest Camp?"

The Xiongnu and Dongling were bounded by Wushan and Wushui. When they crossed Wushui, they would face the camp directly, and they had to bypass Wushan to go to Lianghuai.The distance is far away, and it is impossible for large troops to pass through, so even if the Huns go to Lianghuai, they will only make small troubles.This sneak attack was really weird.

"That means the Huns are not satisfied with a small cold bosom, maybe Qizhou." Yang Qi asserted.

Tian He looked at him, wondering what he was thinking.After a long time, suddenly said,

"Vice General Yang, what you said is reasonable. Qizhou is an important town in the northwest of our country. All food and grass are transported to the front line from here. It is very important and cannot be lost. Pass on my general order, and Vice General Yang will take over General Han's position and command the First Army , Immediately reorganize the battalions, and will be dispatched to Qizhou tomorrow, there must be no mistakes."

Yang Qi didn't expect to get such an errand, Tian He obviously didn't believe that the Huns would go deep into Dongling's hinterland so boldly.Although Qizhou is very tempting, it is easy to get in and difficult to get out, not to mention that the imperial court will definitely send reinforcements over, the tens of thousands of troops in the big battalion and the garrison in Lianghuai alone, once encircled, they will be a turtle in an urn, the Huns will not take this risk risk.

So he pushed the boat along the way and transferred Yang Qi away from the camp. Qizhou would be relatively safer, so it would not be difficult to explain to the princess.

However, Tian He did not expect that his decision would affect Yang Qi's fate in the future.

Yang Qi guessed what Tian He was thinking, but he didn't refute. He believed that he could keep Qizhou.

Walking out of the tent, the cold wind made him shiver.

Yuqiao, although it is thousands of miles away from the capital, I want to say that I want to be a real general and guard this beautiful country for you, because only in this way can I feel that we are so close.

The author has something to say: If you wake up from the heat at six o'clock, every cell in your body needs air conditioning.First write today's words, and then go to the study room. . .

☆, reversal

The situation at the border is critical, and the entire Northwest is shrouded in the cloud of war.

The northwest battalion stood ready, forming a defensive line together with Lianghuai and Wuwei.It's just that the Huns seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and there was no trace of them.The reconnaissance team went out one by one. At sunset, only the two teams in the southwest of the camp did not come back.

Tian He stood in front of the northwest panorama, studying and thinking.

"General, since the Huns attacked my camp last night, there has been no movement today. The reconnaissance team in the southwest direction has not returned yet. Could it be the Huns they encountered?"

"The southwest of Daying is Lianghuai, but why don't you just go around Wushan without anyone noticing it, but make such a big commotion and go to Lianghuai after a lot of trouble?" Tian He paced back and forth.

Little did he know, just as he was thinking and hesitating, Lianghuai soldiers and civilians encountered the bloodiest baptism in history, and it was also the most shameful stroke in Dongling's history.

The defense of Lianghuai City has always been placed on the front line of Wushan, which borders outside the Great Wall.Build the city at the mountain pass and fortify along the mountain.Never thought that there would be a cavalry of the Huns in the safest rear, and there were as many as [-] cavalry, and there was an open terrain behind it, which was convenient for the cavalry to display.

"General Zhao, it's bad, the Huns somehow attacked the gate of Lianghuai from behind our side. Most of the troops in the city have been mobilized to the mountain, and the gate can hardly be defended."

Since Zhao Wu received the battle report from the camp, he mobilized troops to guard the pass, and only 5000 people were left in the inner city to defend the city.I thought the Huns would take shortcuts and sneak attacks as before, but I didn't expect that they would take risks...

"What? How could this be?"

"General, hurry up and send troops back to the city for support! Otherwise..."

"Okay, okay, Chen Canjun, you take 5000 people back first, and reinforce the city gate. I will re-arm and send troops over." This is the first time Zhao Wu encountered this situation. Panic.

However, the speed of the Huns would not give him a chance.

Lu Hun, the wise king of Zuo, led twenty thousand soldiers, and launched a fierce attack with rockets from a distance. The defenders on the city wall were gradually unable to support them.Huge logs hit the city gate, and the once tall and sturdy were vulnerable to the flames of war.

Inevitable city break.The cavalry rushed into the city of Lianghuai and massacred the Dongling soldiers who had thrown away their helmets and armor. The flames shot up into the sky. The bustling market yesterday was reduced to ruins under the iron heels of the Xiongnu.

The city was filled with shouts of killing, women's screams, and children's cries.All this shows the sorrow of the weak, but the enemy regards this cry as a clarion call and encouragement to continue fighting.

"Warriors of the Huns, take what you like, treasures, women, hahaha, kill"

There is only one color in the world, bright red.When Zhao Wu rushed back with reinforcements, it was this scene of hell on earth.

The ambitions of those men to defend their homes and make contributions to the country seemed so ridiculous in the face of the cruelty of war.

Tremblingly, he drew out his sword to meet the enemy, only to find that many soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't even hold their swords steadily, and some of them were even retreating.

It is human instinct to avoid danger and seek safety.Fear can't be faked.Soldiers who grew up in a peaceful and comfortable environment have no attack power under this intensity of attack. What awaits them is to be buried in this land forever.

"No one is allowed to retreat, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded!" Zhao Wuqiang calmed down.

"General, the city has been broken, and the Huns are all jealous. We can't resist it. Let's retreat. The fortifications on the mountain are more conducive to defense."

The scimitar with the iron hoof of the Huns continues the life of the reaper.

Looking at all this, Zhao Wu suddenly realized, "Retire, haha, Lianghuai City is broken, how can we survive, the Huns dare to be so confident, there is no guarantee that they will not attack back and forth, so let's give it a go. Come on, cavalry line up As the vanguard, the others follow closely behind, there are all your parents, brothers and children, kill and take back our cool arms!"

Seeing the sudden appearance of Dongling's reinforcements, the Huns quickly responded.The roads in the city were extremely congested, and the two armies were fighting, almost in close combat.

"Haha, you dare to go back to the city! Don't let them go, kill them!"

In a night of melee, Lianghuai lost [-] defenders.

Sure enough, the Huns left an ambush on the Wushan Trail.Zhao Wu mobilized his troops back to help, and launched an attack here.

The front and rear roads of the Dongling defenders have been blocked, and the news of the city's destruction almost shattered their fighting spirit.With a little resistance, it has become a cold corpse.

Liang Huai fell.

When the news reached Northwest Camp, Tian He was covered in cold sweat.The [-] defenders and tens of thousands of city residents all turned into dead souls under the knife.

Oops!Qizhou.

Tian He, only then remembered Yang Qi's judgment.

"Qizhou, there is danger!"

The other generals also reacted after hearing his voice.

"General, Qizhou is indeed dangerous, but once troops are transferred from the camp, it will be even more dangerous. Liang Huai is a lesson from the past. For the current plan, it is better to take back Liang Huai first, so as to relieve the danger of the camp's flanks." Xu Xu Cheng calmly analyzed.

The Northwest Camp is the gateway to the hinterland of Dongling, once opened, the consequences will be disastrous.

Qizhou.

Yang Qi led his troops to Qizhou, and that night he received the news that Lianghuai had been attacked by the Huns. Two hours later, he received the news that Lianghuai City had been broken and Zhao Wu and all the defenders had died for the country.

Yang Qi's face was pale, holding the battle report in his hand.Feng Li, Zhang Chi, and Xu Han stood aside, waiting for orders.

The defenders of Qizhou plus the 7000 people brought by Yang Qi made a total of 1 people.

Xiao Chuan, who was guarding Qizhou, did not believe that the Huns would come to Qizhou, but he couldn't stand Yang Qi's hard and soft tactics, and strengthened the guard.And the news of Liang Huai made him believe Yang Qi's judgment.

"General Yang, with the order of General Tian, ​​I will hand over the defense of Qizhou to you, and you will deploy all the military supplies."

Dongling has indeed been peaceful for too long, what kind of officials have he raised.

"In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Xiao for trusting me. I will arrange it now."

Yang Qi walked out of the room quickly, using the cold wind to force himself to calm down.But met Shen Yuexiu who rushed over.

"Yang Qi. I heard that Liang Huai..."

"Axiu, Qizhou will be fine, I will guard it. Lianghuai's revenge will definitely be avenged. General Zhao's matter, you... hey"

"I know, you don't need to comfort me. You are going to set up defenses in the outer city, I will go with you." Afraid that Yang Qi would refuse, he added, "You are new here, I will follow, it will be more convenient."

Yang Qi did not refuse.

Qizhou City, with high walls and thick walls, is easy to defend but difficult to attack.What is the basis of the Xiongnu, dare to fight Qizhou's idea.

That's right, soldiers are expensive and fast, and the cavalry of the Xiongnu are so mysterious that most people will never talk about them daring to come to Qizhou.There were only [-] defenders in Qizhou. Under a strong attack, it is possible to break the city.

Snatching Lianghuai is to deceive people, and secondly, since he is here to grab food, he has to consider the issue of transporting it away, so he just took the shortcut of Lianghuai.

But what's wrong?

Yang Qi suddenly remembered something. "Zhang Chi, go to the Chu family's store immediately. When you see their shopkeeper, tell him to check if there are any suspicious people in Qizhou City, especially those who came from Lianghuai today. Xu Han, you are in charge of the investigation team, carefully point, report any changes immediately.

Feng Li, A Xiu, come with me. "

"The Huns will definitely end the battle in the shortest possible time. The reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive in two days, so we only need to persist for two days."

"But the Huns just took over Lianghuai, how could it be so fast?"

"5 Huns came this time, 1 attacked Northwest Camp, 2 attacked Lianghuai, and another 2 never showed up. Therefore, at least 3 people attacked Qizhou. Fortifications Up, you have to make some preparations.

Let's go to Shen's workshop. "

Sure enough, the Huns didn't even wait until it was dark, and appeared outside the city of Qizhou in the evening of the second day.The speed was still very fast, and the defenders did not have much reaction time before attacking the city.

Yang Qi went up to the gate tower himself. "Young Master, it's dangerous here, you should go down first, Qizhou City will definitely be able to defend."

"No need to say more. I have my own idea." A rain of arrows hit, hiding under the battlements.

"hateful."

"Feng Li, are things ready?"

"All right."

"After the burst of arrows passes by, start to counterattack." Yang Qi said while paying attention to avoiding the arrow above his head.

Yang Qi had someone prepare a secret weapon in advance.

The soldiers brought up two huge crossbows and many small jars wrapped in cloth.Wait until everything arrives.

With an order, a burst of rockets shot out. They were just ordinary bows and arrows, limited by the range, and had little lethality.The Huns continued to advance, getting closer and closer to the city walls.

Seeing the timing, "use the machine crossbow, throw it out." The strong crossbow shot out the packs of jars, fell to the ground, and shattered.

"Rocket", these arrows all shot to the ground in front of the city.As soon as it touched the ground, "Hiss, the tongue of fire sprang up"

It turned out that the jar was full of kerosene, which was a simple incendiary bomb.

Under the action of the wind, the fire spread rapidly. When the Huns attacked the city gate one after another, they did not expect this situation.The clothes in winter are heavy, the fur is flammable, and the fire oil is not easy to extinguish. The Huns who rushed to the front were quickly engulfed by the fire.

The people behind paused their attack and could only stand out of range, watching those people being burned alive.

Uwe, the commander of the Huns, roared angrily, and walked off his horse, helpless.
