The combat effectiveness and fighting will of these one thousand cavalry were much stronger than those of the four thousand infantry just now, but what they faced was a death-seeking army.

It was the death-seeking army led by Qin Xinglie himself.

This makes their fighting efforts in vain.

When Qin Xinglie charged, no one could resist him.

His spear is heavy and fast, like a terrifying giant python, swallowing up anyone who dares to stand in front of him, without exception.

Kumamoto Seishi was tied to the side, watching helplessly as the most elite cavalry in his clan was wiped out. At the beginning, he was filled with anger, but in the end, he was left with only powerlessness and despair.

"Is this King Li?" His eyes were dull and he was shaking.

In the past, he always felt that the legends about King Li and the Death-Wish Army were too exaggerated and were just rumors.

If their Kumamoto Banner elites and the death-seeking army had a decisive battle, at least they would be able to draw a tie.

Now the facts are before his eyes. The elite Kumamoto Banners he is so proud of are simply vulnerable to the death-seeking army.

Kumamoto Seishi suddenly shouted, "This is not true! This is not true!"

Why did everything that had been planned from the beginning suddenly change!

Attacking Shicheng, cooperating inside and outside, attacking with heavy troops, it is bound to win... Suddenly it turned out to be a plot, the father was the leader, fled in embarrassment, and the entire army was annihilated!

All of this started when Yi Lan Suxiang appeared tonight...

"Yi Lan Su Xiang! Yi Lan Su Xiang!" Kumamoto Chengzhi chewed the name repeatedly between his lips and teeth, as if he was chewing Yi Lan Su Xiang's flesh and blood.

At this moment in Shicheng, it is the busiest time of the Ghost Festival.

The gongs and drums were noisy, and the incense and mist were lingering. Everyone chanted sutras devoutly, begging for salvation and liberation for their ancestors and deceased relatives.

In this atmosphere, a few people occasionally heard the sound of cannons, drums, and shouts of killing coming from far outside the city, but no one took it to heart.

Lu Qi waited quietly on the city wall, feeling that time passed extremely slowly.

It wasn't until the torches were swaying in the distance that a cavalry team ran to the city and swung the torch up, down, left and three times from a long distance, and Lu Qi's heart suddenly settled.

This was the secret code they had agreed with King Li, indicating that they had completely wiped out Dong Hao's army and won a complete victory.

Even so, Lu Qi did not dare to take it lightly and still had the Yongzhou soldiers stationed outside the city to prevent any fish that slipped through the net and entered the stone city.

The police team leader took his manpower and began to transport labor supplies to the Yongzhou soldiers' garrison outside the city.

Only then did Lu Qi feel aches all over his body - he had stood on the city wall for several hours, fearing that the trick promised by Lieutenant He to lure the enemy would fail and Dong Hao's army would rush into the city.

Not caring about his image, he sat down on the ground, leaning against the city wall, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The fat attendant sat down with him and said, "Sir, you have done a great job this time!"

Lu Qi smiled, "The power of luring the enemy lies with the He county captain, and the power of annihilating the enemy lies with the soldiers. I just stood here and watched from beginning to end."

The fat follower retorted disapprovingly, "Sir, you are too modest. Your contribution to strategizing and overall command is no worse than any of them!"

Lu Qi was concerned about another issue: "Lieutenant He County has not shown up yet. I don't know how he lured the enemy, and I don't know if he is safe now."

The fat attendant curled his lips, "Sir, do you think everyone is the same as you? Who doesn't know how dangerous it is to guard this city wall? If the plan fails, the first person to face Dong Hao's army will be here.

"

"In my opinion, Lieutenant He County was just afraid, so he found some excuse to lure the enemy and didn't show up all night."

He wanted to say something more, but Lu Qi slapped him on the face: "Shut up!"

The fat attendant was stunned by the slap, covering his face and looking at Lu Qi blankly.

Although Lu Qi was born into a poor family, he has always been gentle and elegant. He rarely spoke loudly, let alone hit anyone.

During the time he followed Lu Qi, he made mistakes more than once. Lu Qi did not lose his temper, but patiently corrected him and told him what he should do.

Did he actually take action this time?

Lu Qi turned his head, looked at the fat attendant who looked confused and aggrieved, and said seriously, "You are the person chosen by my mother. I have always been very tolerant of you, but this does not mean that you can make random guesses about the court officials.

Even desecrating someone’s innocence.”

"This plan of luring the enemy to annihilation was proposed by Lieutenant He County from the very beginning. His contribution cannot be erased."

"And he has personally scaled the city wall three times before, fought bloody battles, and repelled the attacks of Donghao's army."

"How can you make assumptions about such a hero and say he is timid and afraid of fighting!"

"Do you know how much trouble this kind of words will cause if they reach the ears of caring people?"

"If Lieutenant He County finds out, he will only think that I ordered you to say this and treat me as an enemy!"

"My previous interactions with Lieutenant He County were all in vain. I will lose a capable subordinate and gain a powerful opponent! You are causing trouble for me!"

The fat attendant shut his mouth tightly, his face turned red, and he did not dare to defend himself. He just knelt aside and remained motionless.

"What are you doing?" There were footsteps on the stairs, and a lantern appeared in their field of vision. The person holding the lantern walked towards them leisurely.

Lu Qi heard the voice of He County Lieutenant and jumped up in surprise, "He County Lieutenant! Are you okay?"

Lieutenant He County walked closer. His clothes had no creases, his mustache was neatly trimmed, and his hair was slightly damp. It looked like he had taken a shower and changed clothes before coming here.

"Thank you for your concern, sir. I have nothing to do with you." Gu Zhao inserted the lantern in his hand on the city wall without even looking at the fat attendant kneeling next to him. "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

Lu Qi laughed.

He checked that there was no one else around, then leaned towards Gu Zhao, put his shoulder on Gu Zhao's shoulder, and whispered, "To tell you the truth, I am really suffering here, all I can think about is
