Early the next morning, Qi Longsheng led people to Shangyang City.

"How about it?"

Looking at the still silent city wall and the wilderness outside, Qi Longsheng visually determined that there had been no war here.

But the blood stains left on the battlefield yesterday are still very conspicuous on the ground at this moment.

The opponent came to attack once, but there was no damage to the city wall.

This was very strange, so Qi Longsheng came over to Qi Tian and asked.

"There has been a big battle and several small-scale encounters in the past few days. There was not much damage."

Qi Tian put down his job and talked to Qi Longsheng about several encounter points on the map in the camp.

By the way, I will also give you a full report on yesterday’s battle.

Qi Longsheng frowned when he heard that they dared to attack.

"This old boy Meng Tianlang asked Meng Qi to lead no more soldiers than no others. He is trying to deceive you."

"What's the meaning?"

After finishing breakfast, Qi Tian looked at Qi Longsheng strangely.

"He is testing our remaining strength to see if anyone will come to support us if we attack with twice as many soldiers as you. Although they won't be able to provide that many soldiers in a short period of time, they also know that we have a problem here.

"

"He dares to do this? Aren't he afraid that our support will come and eat all his people?"

"You have to be brave, but it doesn't matter, as long as our people can hold on to this place."

Qi Longsheng carefully observed the map, and after losing Shangyang City, and after the failure of yesterday's battle, Meng Qi led his soldiers back.

Today, more than 8,000 light armored cavalrymen from Daliang came.

Occupying a dangerous terrain, Shangyang City has been stabilized.

"The city wall has been dried. You and your soldiers can take down the surrounding mines."

Qi Tian is no longer so worried, as they might have been a little afraid in the past few days.

But today the cement on the city wall is almost dry.

In the past few days, in order to prevent the cement from cracking under the sun's rays, Qi Tian thoughtfully asked people to continuously splash water on it.

In the end, the cement wall was well maintained and dried quickly.

"City wall? Have you built it?"

Qi Longsheng looked at Qi Tian with wide eyes. He didn't understand how Qi Tian did it.

"Let's go, call Tie Niu and the others, and let's take a look together."

Knowing the strength of the city wall, they could plan the subsequent battle.

Everyone came to the city wall, and Qi Tian knocked on the wall with the handle of his knife.

Da da da.

A crisp sound came from the city wall.

Cao Wu said excitedly:

"Boss, this city wall looks amazing. It is much stronger than the previous city wall in Shangyang City!"

Jinshan also said in shock:

"With such a strong city wall, wouldn't we be able to reduce our troop strength?"

Xiguan's troops are limited, and just to garrison the newly captured Shangyang City has already cost them close to 20,000 troops.

The key is that Qin Wuyang is still pretending to be dead from behind.

Now Qi Longsheng has reported the situation to the imperial court. Only when the imperial court arranges for reinforcements to come over will they be able to continue suppressing Xiliang.

"It's really good. It's very strong. This kind of building material can be promoted more in the future."

Qi Longsheng stroked the city wall here with his hand and spoke with satisfaction.

According to his experience, this kind of cement city wall may not be able to be broken open with a siege vehicle.

"Then let's start the next step?"

Qi Tian looked at the few people expectantly.

"What's next?"

"Of course we are going to seize the surrounding mines. Xiliang is not thinking about the end right now. If we can seize the mines and divide the soldiers from Shangyang City to garrison them, the profits will be high in the future."

War is not just about fighting bravely.

Their fight is mainly for resources.

Since the military strength has been constrained recently and it is difficult to continue large-scale operations, Qi Tian has set his sights on resources.

"Okay, take out 15,000 soldiers and divide them into three teams to start harvesting."

Qi Longsheng immediately formulated a battle plan.

Thirty miles north along Shangyang City, there is the Yanggu Mountain Range.

The mines here are arranged neatly, with three mines located there.

The three mines are not far from each other, and each mine is guarded by three thousand soldiers and horses.

Xiliang built all these mines into military fortresses, and it would take at least five thousand people to capture the three thousand guards.

But it's not that easy to win here.

After encountering an attack, people in the three mines can support each other.

This resulted in five thousand soldiers, which was impossible to capture.

Even if we invest three times the force to seize it by force.

It is also very likely that they will be outflanked by the Shangyang City defenders from behind, and they may be completely wiped out by then.

Of course, because it is far away from Xiguan in Daliang, Qi Longsheng's soldiers will not come here under normal circumstances.

"Okay, let me go!"

After Qi Tian fought with Meng Qi yesterday, he understood that his strength still has a lot of room for improvement.

So he wanted to practice more on the battlefield.

Recently, Qi Tian is still taking the medicines in the Bei Wushan prescription.

He discovered that his strength could steadily increase after taking the medicine.

However, the growth rate will be much slower than before.

In other words, entering the ranks of first-class masters is not the end.

Qitian needs to spend not only one or two hundred thousand taels of silver, but also a lot more later.

But the input-to-output ratio will be very low.

Every bit of growth is worth a lot of money.

Only rich people like Qi Tian dare to spend money to improve their strength like this.

"Fortunately, I can make money, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to afford such expenses."

Qi Tian looked at the small porcelain vase on his table and sighed.

"Boss, get ready to leave!"

At this time, Tieniu had already gathered the soldiers outside the camp.

"good!"

The three mines that attacked Yanggu Mountain were led by Qi Longsheng.

He led two men to attack the mine in the center area, as well as the mine to the north.

As for Qi Tian, ​​he brought his own soldiers to attack the mine located at the back of Yanggu Mountain.

"It's going up in a while, why don't we still use the old method?"

Arriving in front of the formation, Qi Tian spoke to Qi Long Sheng.

He also wanted to use black powder to blow through other people's city walls, so that the other party would not have a city wall to rely on, and things would be much simpler later on.

"how?"

"If you blow down the city wall, we will only put one or two thousand people there. When Xiliang comes, we will take it back again."

The impact of the city wall's collapse was two-way.

Qi Tian did not consider this.

Thinking of this, his face turned red.

"Dad, you can see clearly."

"Good son, don't be so violent. Follow dad and I will show you the strength of light armored cavalry."

Qi Longsheng patted Qi Tian's shoulder seriously. Following his voice, Qi Tian discovered that the light armored cavalry in the distance actually had some hooks on them.

"They want to use this to attack the city?"

"Yes, they have all undergone special training. Some metal is added to these hook locks. They are very tough and strong and can be cut continuously."

When Qi Longsheng mentioned these light armored cavalry, his face was filled with pride.
