Li Mu is heading south.

Although most of Beidi County have returned to the hands of Qin, the Qin people did not deploy too many manpower on the Great Wall defense line on the Qin and Zhao border, the northernmost part of Beidi County.

For an army of 50,000 cavalry, which is a torrent of turbulent, the Great Wall defense line is meaningless.

Accompanied by the rolling black smoke from beacon towers, Li Mu came all the way outside Yiqu City.

About twenty miles from Yiqu City, Li Mu specially summoned Yiqusheng and said something to Yiqusheng.

"You have to be mentally prepared."

To be honest, Yiqusheng didn't quite understand what Li Mu meant at that time, but at this time Yiqusheng understood.

Yiqu City has been destroyed.

Wang Jian obviously knew very well that the fact that Qin State could not defend Yiqu City after his main force left, so when Wang Jian moved his troops eastward, the chief general of the Qin army did something that Bai Qi had done and Li Mu had done.

When he left, a fire burned Yiqu City.

Yiqusheng was stunned when he looked at Yiqu City that had been reduced to ruins.

As a Yiqu person, Yiqusheng is undoubtedly very affectionate about the ancestral land of Yiqu City.

In fact, the Yiqu people have been influenced by many Central Plains civilizations over the years due to their entanglements with the Qin State. For example, a ancestral temple was established in Yiqu City, which enshrines the ancestral tablets of the ancestors of the previous kings of Yiqu dynasties.

But now all those things have been burned to ashes by a fire.

Yi Qusheng stared at the ruins in front of him, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Not only Yiqusheng, many Yiqu cavalry in the Zhao army were also shocked by the scene they saw. They either cried in grief or roared in anger, and even pulled out a knife and cut their faces, causing their blood to flow.

Li Mu sighed and gently patted Yi Qusheng on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will help you with this tone."

Yiqusheng seemed to have not heard of it. After a while, he jumped off his horse and worshiped a few times at the ruins of Yiqu City in front of him.

After worshiping, Yiqiusheng pulled out a knife from his waist and inserted it hard on his left arm, pricking a deep wound.

Blood flowed, but Yiqiusheng was completely unmoved, but was chanting something with some strange melody.

Li Mu, who had been in contact with Yiqusheng for a long time, heard it. This was actually the elegy of Yiqu people when they bid farewell to their relatives and friends.

After completing the ceremony, Yi Qusheng returned to Li Mu and said to Li Mu word by word: "In the name of the gods, I, Yi Qusheng and Wang Jian, will never stop until death!"

Li Mu looked at Yi Qusheng with a sad face and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Don't worry, we will defeat Wang Jian."

Yiqiusheng nodded, his eyes extremely cold: "At that time, I will cut off his head with my own hands!"

...

Just when Yi Qusheng vowed to kill Wang Jian, Wang Jian was under Shaoliang City two or three hundred miles away, staring at the tall city in front of him.

"This city is not easy to attack, general." Wang Jian's deputy general Wei Liao said with a serious expression.

Wang Jian nodded and agreed with Wei Liao's opinion.

Now Wang Jian has a total of 220,000 troops, which is the force he obtained by gathering almost the entire Qin State.

Although these 220,000 people are actually very rich, for example, the number of standing troops in them is less than half, it is considered to be huge in any case.

As long as you can take over the Shaoliang City in front, the Hexi land can return to Qin again.

"I heard that the guardian of this city is Xu Li, the general of the Zhao Imperial Guard?" Wang Jian asked.

Wei Liao nodded and said, "Xu Li has always been calm, and there are about 50,000 defenders in the city, so it is not easy to capture this city."

Although he was reluctant to smite his morale, Wei Liao was just telling the truth.

Wang Jian smiled and said, "It has never been easy to confront Zhao State, otherwise Zhao State would not be so powerful now. As a citizen of the Qin Dynasty, we can only do things by man."

Wei Liao nodded and said, "What the general said is very true, but Wei Liao was wrong."

Wang Jian said: "Okay, let's order people to try to attack the city and take a look."

Of course, the so-called attempt to attack the city still has powerful power under people like Wang Jian.

The catapult kept firing, and countless huge rocks fell from the sky and hit the city of Shaoliang City, causing waves of smoke and dust to emerge from the entire city, looking like the sky was shaking and the earth was shaking.

Amid the heavy drumbeat, many Qin soldiers began to rush up with bags of sand and shields in their hands, and began to fill the moat.

The dense Qin soldiers under the city and the huge rocks that would fall down at some time obviously had a certain impact on the morale of the defenders in Shaoliang City, and many people were a little unaware of what to do.

A sword light flashed, and the heads of a hundred generals of Zhao State who were huddled behind the battlements instantly flew into the sky. The main general Xu Li held the long sword in his hand tightly and whispered: "What are you doing when you are standing there? Quickly roll the strings and prepare to shoot the enemy troops under the city! If there are those who are afraid of their heads and tails, they will be engaged in military law!"

The head finally woke up the Zhao defenders on the city wall. They began to skeletons and shoot at the Qin soldiers under the city.

Xu Li was very dissatisfied when he looked at the defending soldiers who were still slow in his movements.

In fact, Xu Li knew very well why this was because, except for the 20,000 Central Army brought by Xu Li from Hedong County, the remaining guards were all locals. In other words, they were "Qin people" not long ago.

It is obvious that it is indeed necessary to count on these old Qin people to fight against the Qin army under the city wall.

"Shooting, it's the rushing car coming! Come on, aim the Baniu Crossbow quickly and aim at them!"

One order after another was issued from Xu Li's mouth, and the entire Zhao army's defense finally moved in an orderly manner, causing constant damage to the Qin army.

After a day of siege, Wang Jian finally issued an order: "Ming Jin, stop the troops!"

Accompanied by the sound of gold, the Qin soldiers under the city wall began to retreat like a tide.

A burst of cheers erupted above the city of Shaoliang City.

Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief and remembered the king's instructions to him when he came.

"You only need to stick to it for a while, as short as half a month or as long as one month. Li Mu will be able to mobilize the Qin army. At that time, the siege of Shaoliang City will be lifted. You will be my hero. You must do this well. Do you understand?"

Xu Li had a thought in his mind, and looked at Qin Jun in front of him again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Wang Jian seems to be like this!
