Not many people knew that Gu Qiancheng was in the army, and of course there would be no fanfare when he left. Under the escort of secret guards, Gu Qiancheng left quietly without alerting anyone.
His Highness Qin was worried about Gu Qiancheng's safety, so he transferred four of the six secret guards around her to her, and also arranged for four personal soldiers to protect her.
With the protection of these eight people, His Highness Qin is still worried, but he can believe that he can protect Gu Qiancheng. After all, Gu Qiancheng is no longer the weak woman she was before. Generally, it is not easy to bring her down.
thing.
The people in the city were all worried about the upcoming war. The eyes of the army officers were all focused on the upcoming war. Gu Qiancheng's departure did not cause any disturbance. Only Tang Wanjin and Cheng Huan sighed from time to time.
, thinking about Gu Qiancheng's many good qualities in the army, although Yan Qing and Feng Sijin didn't say anything, His Highness Qin didn't know what they were thinking.
Seeing the two of them, His Highness Qin felt that it would be good for Gu Qiancheng to return to the capital, but...
His Highness Qin has forgotten that there is still Jing Yan in the capital who has evil intentions towards Gu Qiancheng!
On the seventh day after Gu Qiancheng left, the Xihu army arrived at the city gate and formally declared war on Qin Jiyan. On that day, the Xihu army did not launch an attack and rested outside the city for a day. His Highness Qin did not send anyone to attack at night, but
Waiting for the two sides to officially fight the next day.
At chen o'clock the next day, as the war drums sounded, Xihu's army lined up in an orderly manner, looking very majestic.
Fifty troops, even if there was no such number, there were at least 400,000 on the battlefield. They were lined up in a row with such an aura that no one dared to underestimate them.
Seeing the army that was twice as large as theirs, the legs of General Cheng and others felt a little weak. Although they were not timid before fighting, they did not have much confidence.
"Your Highness, I will take the lead in this battle." General Cheng knew that this battle would be difficult, so he volunteered.
"No need." His Highness Qin waved his hand, a cold murderous intention flashed in his eyes, "Wait until they come up." The premise is that they have the ability to fight up.
General Cheng had a puzzled look on his face, and it was obvious that Qin Jiyan didn't want to say anything more, so he had to swallow his words. The other lieutenants wanted to ask for help, but they had no choice but to wait obediently.
Xihu's army had already been beating the war drums, waiting for Qin Jiyan to send people to fight. As a result, they waited for a long time but did not wait for the army to come out to fight, and they couldn't help but look a little puzzled.
"What does Da Qin mean? Are you afraid?"
"Don't you dare to fight? The emperor grandson of Da Qin doesn't have the courage to do so, does he?"
"Does this mean that we will lose all our strength in one go? The emperor's grandson of the Qin Dynasty is nothing more than that, and he dares to show off his trivial skills in front of us."
Xihu's lieutenant didn't take Qin Jiyan seriously at all, and spoke rather coldly and arrogantly. Feng Yao just listened and said nothing. When everyone clamored to attack the city directly, Feng Yao did not refuse. After a moment of silence, he ordered the attack.
"Siege the city!" The 30,000 vanguard troops received the order and charged forward uniformly with siege weapons.
As the troops approached the city, Da Qin's soldiers were extremely anxious, but...
His Highness Qin was not in a hurry at all. The enemy troops were already approaching the city. He remained as calm as the wind, with the air of not changing his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
If it were normal times, General Cheng and others would definitely give a compliment, but now General Cheng and others just want to kneel down to His Highness Qin: Your Highness, what is going on now? People are hitting you at the door, and you still don't take it seriously.
Is this really good?
All the soldiers were about to burst into tears, but due to His Highness Qin's momentum, no one dared to step forward to ask. Seeing the northwest army getting closer and closer, some of the impatient lieutenants couldn't bear it and risked being disgusted by His Highness Qin.
Risk asked: "Your Highness, aren't we going to send troops yet?"
"Don't be anxious, just watch." His Highness Qin really wasn't anxious at all.
Under the city wall, people were being killed at every step. How could he let his own people sacrifice themselves?
"But..." The lieutenants were about to say something else, but were interrupted by His Highness Qin, "There is no but, just watch!"
His Highness Qin's aura was too strong and his tone was too firm. The lieutenants were too frightened to say a word. Several people noticed that Yan Qing was particularly silent today and couldn't help but look at him a few more times. They found that he, like His Highness Qin, was not nervous at all.
.
What's going on?
Could it be that General Yan knows something?
Two days ago, General Yan seemed to be leading his troops to build a wall outside the city. Is there something wrong with the wall?
A few lieutenants thought they had discovered the key points, so they also learned to talk about it and pretended to be incomprehensible.
Nervousness is contagious, and calmness is also contagious. The panicked lieutenants calmed down one by one, and the soldiers behind them also calmed down.
Everyone above them looks confident. What are they afraid of?
No matter how precious their lives are, they are not more precious than His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince!
Therefore, in this strange atmosphere, the people of Da Qin remained frightened and looked at Xihu's army as if they were looking at monkeys.
Xihu's army was very powerful at first, and he felt that Da Qin must be afraid of them, so he hid in the city and did not dare to come out, but as he ran, he realized something was wrong.
Does the other party seem to ignore them?
When the generals who were charging forward saw this situation, they couldn't help but become suspicious. When they were still more than 500 meters away from the city gate, the generals cautiously slowed down and said, "You guys, go ahead and check it out first."
"Yes." The three cannon fodders stepped forward on horseback and ran all the way without any incident. When they reached the shooting range, they were unfortunately shot to death.
Since there was nothing wrong, Xihu's army was not polite and said, "Charge!"
Da Qin must be bluffing!
From the bottom to the bottom of Xihu, everyone except Feng Yao thinks so.
The eyes of a group of people were shining, just waiting to beat the soldiers and horses of Da Qin to pieces. Feng Yao stood on the chariot, with a solemn face, but a sarcastic smile raised at the corner of his lips.
He is waiting for Xihu to be defeated!
Four hundred meters!
Three hundred meters!
…
The Xihu army was getting closer and closer to the city gate, but surprisingly, everyone in the Qin Dynasty was not in a hurry.
His Highness Qin is not in a hurry, why are they anxious?
The general is not in a hurry, why are they in a hurry?
I wasn’t anxious before, is there any use in being anxious now?
…
The people of Great Qin all held this mentality, looking at the Xihu army getting closer and closer. They didn't know what preparations His Highness Qin had made, but it did not prevent them from being as calm as His Highness Qin.
Two hundred and fifty meters!
finally……
Xihu's army was only more than 200 meters away from the city gate, and at this moment it unexpectedly appeared...
About two hundred meters away from the city gate, there is a trench. The trench is dug deep and wide, filled with sharply-sharpened bamboos, and is simply covered with a layer of wooden boards. One or two people or one or two horses can
It's no problem to walk there, but problems arise when there are too many people!
The unprepared Xihu army fell into the trenches one after another. Although the casualties were not very serious, it made the Xihu army extremely angry, but...
Before they could respond, there was a sudden loud bang on the battlefield, followed by the shrill screams of the soldiers...
