Huang Chuanbing stood on the scarred Lingchuan City, his eyes full of worry. The Chu people had retreated, but he knew that they would come again. The main force of Chu was trapped in Luzhou and was about to destroy the entire army. Wu Teng wanted to open a gap from himself and tear a big hole in the northwest of the empire. If he could not defend Lingchuan, the entire northwest of the empire would fall into a sea of ​​blood.

The number of field troops stationed in Lingchuan in Qi was not large, half of which had been destroyed in Anju and Leye. If this were not the case, he would still be sure to defend Lingchuan. Now, after more than ten consecutive days of fighting, there were less than 3,000 elite soldiers in the city, and the rest were the young and strong people in the city he had temporarily recruited.

Looking back at my back, it was the vast land of the empire. I hope that my letter of help would bring me more reinforcements. Even if there were no regular troops, just county soldiers from all over the country and family soldiers from all over the country could help me.

He expected this, but he had no confidence in his heart. It was not because of this weather, but because the officials from all over the world and the gentry who had enjoyed the wealth of the world, did they really realize the crisis?

The letter of help was sent out on the first day after the Chu army began to attack the city. More than a dozen messengers left the city, but until now, he had not seen a group of people coming to rescue.

Huang Chuanbing knew very well that the northwest of the empire was already in chaos. Those people were good at annexing land and seizing wealth, but if they were asked to sacrifice their lives, sprinkle their blood, and fight for the country, it would be even more difficult. They enjoyed the glory brought to them by the empire, but were unwilling to shed blood for the country.

In the minds of those stupid guys, the Chu people were vulnerable. The letters they sent out were probably just to steal the power in their hands and to plot the little force and wealth in their hands?

Huang Chuanbing suddenly felt like he wanted to cry. The emperor's victory in Luzhou must have been passed down to those people for a long time. Of course, they did not believe the letter of help he sent at this time.

Her hands tightly clenched the thick ice cubes on the city wall, and Huang Chuanbing bit her lips tightly.

The city wall was severely damaged. Fortunately, it is winter now. If a basin of water is poured on it, it can condense into ice in a blink of an eye. The originally gray city wall has now become crystal clear. If it were a different season, I am afraid that Lingchuan City would not be able to defend it for a long time.

Now, how long can I stay? The Chu army seems to be increasing.

Huang Chuanbing raised his eyes and looked into the distance. In the misty fog, there seemed to be a cavalry approaching. He was shocked and raised his hands. The sound of war drums immediately sounded from the city. The soldiers rushed up to the city wall and raised their swords and guns. A heavy crossbow was pushed out of the hidden hole. The cotton crossbows covered them were unveiled. The insulation was to protect the bowstrings of the heavy crossbows. These heavy crossbows and catapults were important weapons to attack the enemy's siege vehicles.

The one who appeared in the eyes of Qibing on the city was indeed a cavalry, but to everyone's surprise, there were only more than ten cavalrymen in this team.

But Huang Chuanbing's pupils suddenly contracted. He stared at the side behind the dozen people under the city with the flag of thunder and thunder, the Ming army, and the Pili camp.

A dozen people stood on the edge of the arrow, with the leader pointing at the city wall, as if discussing how to attack Lingchuan County City. Everyone in the city became angry, and a crossbow soldier angrily twisted the string machine of the heavy crossbow and installed a heavy crossbow on it.

"Stop!" Huang Chuanbing stopped the soldiers' stupid behavior. The heavy crossbow was powerful, but if it was used to shoot people, even if the person stood there and moved, the hit rate was probably almost zero with one arrow. If it really hit, it would be a great fortune. The heavy crossbow was never used to deal with people.

The enemy under the city smiled unscrupulously, and there seemed to be no enemy in the city at all. Huang Chuanbing's eyes twitched, and his hand stretched back, and a personal soldier immediately handed a strong bow.

Huang Chuanbing led his bow, opened the string, and three arrows, aimed at the enemy under the city. Even if the ordinary archer shoots accurately at this distance, he has no strength, but he has this ability to make the feather arrow still have strong lethality above that distance. He does not expect to shoot the opponent with one arrow. As long as the opponent is scared and the birds and beasts are scattered, it will be enough to greatly increase the morale of the soldiers in the city.

The sound was like thunder, the arrow was like thunder, and one string and three arrows rushed towards the enemy under the city like lightning. When the Qi army on the city saw that the commander showed his archery skills, he immediately shouted loudly.

More than a dozen people under the city raised their heads at the same time, but they did not avoid Huang Chuanbing's imagination. They didn't even move at all, as if they were stunned at this moment. Seeing that the three arrows had reached the target, even though Huang Chuanbing was shocked, he still couldn't help but smile on his face.

But the next moment, his smile condensed on his face. The three arrows were just around one foot away from the target. They seemed to have encountered great obstacles and actually hovered in the air. The arrow feathers were still trembling slightly, but they could no longer move forward.

A young general smiled heartily, gently stretched out his back, and like picking a flower in front of him, he held one of the feather arrows in his hand, and then the second and third ones.

"Level 9 Master!" Huang Chuanbing exclaimed, and suddenly remembered a person in the Pili Camp. Their deputy general Yang Zhi was a level 9 Master. It seemed that his skills were higher than the rumored ones.

The cheers on the city were like a swan singing loudly being strangled by someone's neck, and suddenly became hoarse. Everyone looked at the dozen or so riding horses under the city in amazement.

Yang Zhi was very satisfied. His cultivation level had improved. The emperor was already a master of the master level, and the queen was already a master of level 9. Yang Zhi, who had always compared himself to the emperor, had no idea about catching up with Qin Feng, but he still wanted to pursue the emperor closely.

Even if you fall behind, don’t fall behind too much, otherwise you will have no face at all.

Now it seems that I have taken another big step forward. Although I am still far from the master, at least I have already achieved a level nine cultivation.

He raised his head, waved his hand and shouted, "The original jade is returned."

The three feather arrows flew back, but unlike the time when they came before, the three arrows were slow when they returned, which made people worried that a strong wind would blow away the three arrows casually.

Under the gaze of everyone, three slow arrows accelerated and headed straight for Huang Chuanbing. With a few bangs, several iron shields immediately stood in front of Huang Chuanbing.

The expected impact did not reach the iron shield. The three feather arrows suddenly stopped a few feet away from the shield. Then, with a buzzing sound, drew an arc, connecting the head and tail, and passed through the tall flagpole on the city tower. Amid the exclamations of the people in the city, the Daqi flag that was still floating on the city after the Chu people attacked for more than ten days, and fell down with a loud bang with the sound of the flagpole breaking.

Under the city, more than ten knights were laughing unrestrainedly. The Qi army roared in unison, and countless feather arrows, heavy crossbows, and catapults were launched together. But at this time, more than ten knights had already galloped away.

The iron shields separated from each other, and Huang Chuanbing's face was as if dead.

About ten miles away from Lingchuan City, the Chu army camp was stationed. Now, about two miles away from the right of the Chu army camp, a new camp was set up camp, and the Daming Sun and Moon Flag was flying high above the camp.

More than ten knights who returned from Lingchuan City roared into the camp with horses. In the camp, Wu Teng, the governor of Xinning County of Chu, had already been waiting outside the central army's tent.

"General Lu, General Yang." Seeing the knight who jumped off the horse, Wu Teng showed joy and bowed with fists, "Your army is here to help, Wu is grateful."

Lu Feng laughed and gave a greeting: "Chu Qi's in-laws should watch over each other and help each other."

But beside Lu Feng, Yang Zhi was still looking at Wu Teng up and down.

Wu Teng smiled bitterly, "The country of in-laws and marriages, watch over and help each other?" This war was caused by Ming Dynasty lit a fire, but in the end it was Chu State. But could he blame the other party? The other party dug a hole, but Da Chu jumped down willingly.

"Mr. Wu County is in the limelight outside and talk inside!" Lu Feng extended his hand to invite him.

Walking into the big tent, a warm breath came to my face. I untied my cloak, dusted off the snowflakes on my body, picked up the hot tea brought by my personal soldiers, Lu Feng took a sip, looked at Wu Teng, and said directly: "Mr. Wu County, our army will assist your army in attacking Lingchuan City under the order of Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your kindness and help!" Wu Teng nodded repeatedly.

"Tomorrow, my Pili Camp will launch an attack on Lingchuan City. Just watch the subordinates of the Wu County Governor." Yang Zhi's yin voice came, "But my Pili Camp is only responsible for breaking the city for you. The rest of the matter will be left to you to solve."

Wu Teng's face changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Feng.

"That's right." Lu Feng explained with a smile: "The order my troops received was to capture Lingchuan City for you, but the Zhuifeng Camp will arrive next. However, the task of Zhuifeng Camp is to protect the food route for the army that advances to the next Wu County Magistrate, and will not directly participate in the battle."

Wu Teng immediately understood the Ming army's plan. They did not want to mix too much into the war.

"There is another information that may not have been received by the magistrate of Wu County." Lu Feng looked at Wu Teng with a smile: "A few days ago, the western general of your country, An Ruhai, crossed the Luoying Mountains and attacked the territory of Qi. Along the way, it was burning, killing and looting, and he actually headed straight to Chang'an, the capital of Qi. I feel ashamed of this kind of courage!"

Wu Teng stood up, "I understand what General Lu means. I think that General An can do what I, Wu Teng, can do. General An is not ready to go back alive, and I, Wu Teng, also has the determination to die for the country."
