Qi State, Jibei, Gaotang City.

At the top of the Gaotang city, the Qi flags that originally stood there seemed so sparse at this moment. In stark contrast, the red military flags outside the city were flying high in the wind.

Standing on the chariot, looking up at Gaotang City not far away, the eyes of the deputy general of Wei Army were full of fighting spirit.

"Reporting to General, our army has been besieging Gaotang for many days, but the Qi army has shown no sign of surrendering to our army."

"Hmph, a fight between trapped beasts."

With his left hand holding the hilt of the sword at his waist and his eyes looking at Gaotang City in the distance, Wei General Pang Juan's eyes exuded the strong confidence of a victorious general.

He was confident that the Gaotang City in front of him would not be an obstacle to him, and he was confident that the elite Wei soldiers under his command would be able to capture the city.

You must know that even if it is as strong as Handan or Yongcheng, it cannot withstand the fierce front of Wei soldiers, let alone the isolated city of Qi on the north bank of Jishui River.

A cold light flashed across his eyes, and Pang Juan pressed his left hand on the hilt of the sword and issued a command suddenly.

"Vice-General."

"The end will be here."

"This is my general's order to let the Gaotang City in front of you hear the roar of the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty."

"Follow orders."

Pang Juan gave the order, and behind the chariot, the Chinese army's banner on the tower danced rapidly, conveying the will of the general to the Wei army.

The stone-producing chariot located in the Wei army's formation started to move first, and the war machines began to operate at high speed.

"The stone car is ready..."

"put!"

As the military order sounded, the long pole of the stone-shooting cart reached its highest point at the fastest speed, and then the stone bullets carrying huge potential energy flew directly towards Gaotang City in the distance.

One, two, three...

Within a short period of time, the Wei army outside the city poured a large number of stone bullets into Gaotang City.

Some of these stone bullets only hit the walls of Gaotang City, causing nothing more than a shaking at the top of the city.

Some of them fell directly on top of the Qi troops stationed on top of the city, and balls of fleshy flesh immediately appeared in Gaotang.

Of course, in addition to the terrifying behemoth of war, the stone chariot, the Wei army's formation outside the city also sounded dull vibrations of bowstrings from time to time.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Compared with the small size of ordinary crossbows, the bed crossbow with arrows several feet long obviously has greater lethality.

When they fall on the city head together with these stone bullets, it is often not just the corpse of a Qi soldier who can stop them.

The "roaring" of the Wei army outside the city continued for a long time, which put tremendous pressure on the Qi soldiers inside the city.

They had to deal with these dangers falling from the sky, and at the same time beware of the offensive that the Wei army outside the city might launch at any time.

But just like many times before, the Wei army outside the city did not seem to be preparing to attack the city today.

After another round of stone bullets and crossbows were poured out, there was a sound of gold ringing in the Wei army's formation, and this also meant that Gaotang City remained in the hands of the Qi army for another day.

Compared to the Wei army which suffered almost no losses, the Qi army on top of the city seemed too tragic.

When Tian Bu, the Qi army's Gaotang guard general, appeared on top of the city, what caught his eyes was a soldier lying at his feet, and the cold corpses.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

When the painful wails sounded in his ears, and when the blood almost occupied most of his field of vision, even though Tian Bu could be considered a battle-hardened warrior, he could not help but show a bit of intolerance.

"Soldiers, how are the casualties?"

"General..."

Facing Tian Bu's question, the expression on the face of the Qi Jun deputy general who was following him suddenly became even more ugly.

"General, although the Wei army has rarely launched soldiers to attack the city these days, stone bullets and crossbows like today do attack from time to time."

"Faced with these sharp weapons falling from the sky, our army was simply unable to withstand them. Even though their number was not large, they still caused considerable casualties to our officers and soldiers."

"General..."

At the end of the sentence, the lieutenant wanted to say something, but the moment his eyes came into contact with Tian Bu's, the words he was about to say were swallowed again.

Seeing his hesitant look, Tian Bu immediately stopped and stared at him.

"If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."

"Here."

After receiving Tian Bu's consent, the deputy general mustered up his courage and said: "General, I have heard that our ally of Qi, Zhao, has been surrendered by Wei, so the elite of the Wei army can appear outside our city of Gaotang."

"In terms of combat power, our army is inferior even to the Zhao State. Gaotang City once fell into the hands of the Zhao State. General..."

His brows couldn't help but wrinkle, and Tian Bu looked at the deputy general next to him with sharp eyes.

"You mean..."

"General, our army is no match for the Wei army outside the city. Gaotang City will fall into the hands of Wei sooner or later. How about..."

"Down!"

When the last three words were spoken, the deputy general slowly let out a breath of turbid air, as if a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

The deputy general felt relaxed, but the general Tian Bu's heart began to surge.

As a general of the Qi State, especially the commander-in-chief of Gaotang, one of the five capitals, Tian Bu was well aware of the heavy responsibility he shouldered, and also understood the trust that Qi Jun and Tian Yinqi had in him.

But look at the Gaotang City in front of us, the mottled city walls, the seriously injured soldiers, and the elite Wei army coming from outside the city with fierce fighting intent.

This is not the first time that Gaotang has fallen, and with such a huge disparity in strength, is it really necessary to hold on?

Swinging has become the best portrayal of the complex emotions in Tian Bu's heart at this moment.

It was not until a long time later that Tian Bu, the commander-in-chief of the Gaotang Kingdom of Qi, placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

…

The capital of Qi State is Linzi.

Some chaotic footsteps kept moving forward in the hall, indicating that Tian Yinqi, the monarch of Qi, was feeling uneasy in his heart.

Originally, Tian Yinqi seemed very confident about the situation on the battlefield.

Under the leadership of the general Tian Ji, the 80,000 elite soldiers of Qi State finally surrounded and captured Liaocheng of Wei State, and then attacked Anyang, Pingyi and other cities, pushing Qi State's western territory back to its territory in one fell swoop.

The line of Maling in Wei State.

Although the Wei army had not yet had time to achieve such a great victory, it was undoubtedly rare good news for Qi, which had suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Wei.

However, the good news for Qi seemed to end here. Just when Tian Yinqi in Linzi City was hoping that Qi would be able to get rid of its decline, the changes that occurred on the northern battlefield made him a little dumbfounded.

In Tian Yinqi's eyes, the Zhao army, which was more powerful than the Qi army, was so vulnerable to the Wei soldiers led by the Wei general.

However, after only a few battles, the Wei army took advantage of the situation and marched north to Zhangshui, and even besieged the capital of Zhao, Handan.

Once Handan is captured, Tian Yinqi, who is also the king of a country, knows exactly what is waiting for Zhao.

Seeing that his ally Zhao Guo was almost helpless against Wei Guo's full blow, could his Qi State be able to withstand it?

Although Tian Yinqi encouraged himself in every possible way on this point, he still did not dare to say it out loud.

The State of Zhao is almost destroyed, will Qi be next?
