Qi State arrived in Qingkai County, Qingzhou, and the 11th Heavy Infantry Regiment quietly entered the military camp in the county. The commander-in-chief, Prince Qi Hua of Wei State, has been guarding the military camp.
"Prince Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Reinforcement Army, Lord Ru Hu, has arrived at the border." A deputy general came to report.
Qi Hua is twenty-five years old and is the youngest commander in the Qi army. His square face gives people a sense of reliability.
After hearing the deputy general's report, he smiled slightly and said, "General Ru can't help it?"
"Yes, Master Ru said, he said." The deputy general hesitated.
"According to his original words, it's okay." Qi Hua knew that the general from the north didn't have anything good to say.
"He said that generals who can win battles must be close to the battlefield to command. They can't grasp the enemy's situation by hiding far behind." The deputy general's eyes dodge, not daring to look at Qi Hua.
"You didn't put it so nicely. Hehe, under normal circumstances, how can I command him? According to the commander-in-chief's order, the 101st and 102nd divisions will follow the northern reinforcements, keep a distance of five miles from them, and receive all the military forces they defeated.
Target." Qi Hua knew it well.
"Yes! It turns out you did it on purpose." The deputy general suddenly realized.
"Go quickly, I will move the headquarters to Chaohu County within three days!" Qi Hua said and circled Chaohu County on the map with a pen.
At the Qi-Cao border, groups of soldiers passed through the border with sporadic torches. The outpost on the Cao side had collapsed, and the blood flowing on the ground had not yet frozen. A tiger-headed general stood on the roadside and inspected the passage.
of troops.
"Lord Ru, the two towns ahead have fallen under the control of our army, and the leading troops have arrived at the outskirts of Tongde City." A scout reported to the general.
"Instructions are given that the Fifth Brigade divides its troops to guard the two towns and no one is allowed to escape; when the Ninth and Tenth Brigades arrive at the outskirts of Tongde City, the troops who arrived earlier will launch an siege. The Blood Leopard Division will attack Qi State
Occupy Tongde City before the army catches up!"
That general is Ru Hu, the division commander of the Blood Leopard Division.
The lights were brightly lit at the top of Tongde City, and Suo Xian walked back and forth on the city wall. The silent night did not give him a sense of peace.
"I have a bad feeling in my heart. I always feel that something will happen tonight." He turned back and said to the commander of the city defense army.
"Don't worry, sir. It seems that everything is calm at the moment. My personal guards will release the messenger eagle at midnight to report the situation. At least there won't be any problems in the first half of the night. Even if there is an enemy attack in the second half of the night, I am confident that we will wait until dawn and let the enemy know the situation."
You break out of the siege and go to the county town." The commander of the city defense army believed that his arrangements were sufficient.
"Wait a minute," Suo Xian's eyes narrowed and he leaned on the city wall, "There's something moving!"
There are several hidden sentries in the northern suburbs. According to the agreement, they should sound a report at this time to show safety, but now there is no sound at all.
"Archers and rockets are ready! Target oil pile!" The commander of the city defense army quickly raised an order flag.
Oil stacks refer to hay stacks arranged outside the city. The hay stacks are poured with kerosene and can be ignited by a spark. These hay stacks are usually located at the maximum shooting range of archers and are used to detect the situation outside the city at night.
"put!"
With a wave of the command flag, several rockets shot into the sky. The commander of the city defense army set up five oil stacks in the northern suburbs to monitor all places where troops could hide.
The rocket flew more than 300 meters and did not ignite anything after landing.
Beep, beep, beep.
The commander of the city defense army blew a rapid whistle, and the soldiers resting under the city immediately rushed to the city after hearing the sound.
The reason why the oil stacks were not lit was not due to the archer's accuracy. It had obviously been destroyed by the enemy, otherwise it would have been impossible for all five oil stacks to remain unlit.
Phew, ping!
A signal arrow exploded in the air.
Without any hesitation, Suo Xian lit the signal arrow that had been prepared.
Torches appeared in the darkness in the north of the city, and the enemies hidden under the night revealed their fangs.
"Look! That's the battle flag of the Eleventh Legion of Qi State!" The commander of the city defense army had sharp eyes and was the first to see the enemy's flag clearly.
"Hey, the 11th Heavy Infantry Corps! Those are the elite of the Qi State!" Suo Xian, as the lord of a border city, has received special military training and knows the information about the Qi State's legions.
"No! They attacked the city directly." The commander of the city defense army quickly ordered people to beat the war drums.
I saw two fire dragons approaching the city wall quickly. Their figures could be seen clearly under the firelight. These officers and soldiers were wearing the traditional dark blue military uniforms of Qi State, and the flags they held were all those of the Eleventh Legion.
"Well? Their armor seems to be different from ordinary heavy infantry." Soham also saw clearly the siege troops below.
"Be careful!" The commander of the city defense army rushed forward and pushed Suo Xian away with both hands.
As Suo Xian's body fell backwards and flew out, a row of flames shot up into the sky. A hundred-meter-long wall of fire erupted from where he was standing just now. The poor commander of the city defense army was unable to escape, and his lower body was wrapped in flames.
"My lord, run!"
Suo Xian was clamped by two guards and quickly dragged into the city tower, while the commander of the city defense army fell to the ground and rolled back and forth. There were soldiers beside him beating with flags, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
The enemy troops attacking the city were well prepared. They had already observed the situation on the city wall, and immediately attacked the defender's commander. Judging from the size of the fire wall, the person who attacked was a tower-opening magician.
A guard said in Suo Xian's ear: "Sir, break out! Tongde City cannot be defended."
"Notify the Knights Guild and the Magic Guild to allow them to abandon the city." Only then did Soham have time to issue the first order.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the whole tower shook.
"Quickly retreat! The enemy is breaking through the gate." Suo Xian took the lead and ran down the tower.
At this time, he could no longer take care of his family in the city lord's palace. The intensity of the enemy's attack on the city was far beyond his expectation. The commander of the city defense army only had half his life left. The north of the city was in chaos and it was impossible to organize an effective defense.
"Bang!" There was an explosion in the air.
Suo Xian looked up and saw a white-robed magician flying over from the city, so he shouted: "President Meng! This city can no longer be defended. Please wait for an opportunity to evacuate!"
"Hey!" The white-robed magician sighed, raised his hand and shot a magic light bullet, "Lord Suo! You can take care of yourself. I will tell the county governor the truth about tonight's situation." After saying that, he turned around and flew away.
From seeing the signal arrow to flying over the north of the city, President Meng thought it took the shortest time, but what he saw was Suo Xian running away in panic. Such a city lord could hardly be said to have fulfilled his duties.
Bang, sawdust flew everywhere, and a large hole was punched through the north gate. A row of arrows shot out from the hole, and several soldiers guarding the gate fell to the ground.
Suo Xian jumped on his horse, whipped his whip, and ran towards the south of the city without looking back.
At the same time, the commander of the city defense army was nailed to the city wall with a spear. A big man covered with strange armor stood firmly on the wall, allowing the weapons from around him to hit him. No one could shake him.
