Last winter, the Qin State fought a whole winter of civil war despite the cold wind, rain and snow.
Qin Gongzi made a great contribution to the rebellion and promised many benefits, including the position of prime minister to four of them.
So many nobles and ministers of the Qin State responded in an attempt to overthrow the Qin King Ying Ji, a bastard with Chu blood.
For a time, the whole country was in chaos.
Ying Zhuang first stormed the Xianyang Palace with elite soldiers and retainers, but failed.
Wei Ran urgently mobilized Qin troops from all over the country and ordered them to join Xianyang King Qin.
In the end, I don’t know where that bastard Ying Zhuang got a lot of sophisticated weapons... he armed more than 100,000 miscellaneous troops, and he turned a palace coup with limited losses into a huge and expensive palace coup. A civil war with tragic casualties.
Bai Qi was ordered to face the danger and led the main force of the Qin army to fight fiercely with the rebels.
A winter of bloody battles, seven battles and seven victories.
Finally, Ji Jun's rebellion was quelled.
Because of Bai Qi's outstanding achievements in quelling the rebellion, his title was promoted three levels in a row, and he was awarded the title of "Major Rank".
This time Yan State invited the coalition to attack Qi. Although Qin State had just suffered heavy casualties, Empress Dowager Xuan and Wei Ran thought this was a good opportunity to weaken Qi State.
Our Great Qin is weak, and your Qi State cannot even think of being strong alone!
So, he appointed Bai Qi as his general, led 50,000 Qin troops, and joined the coalition!
After Bai Qi arrived at the coalition camp, he and Le Yi quickly fell in love with each other and now they are brothers.
"Brother Le - there is news in the military report that the Chu State severely damaged the southern border of Qi State, beheading 60,000 people, and the troops entered Jucheng?" Bai Qi's slender eyes widened.
Le Yi glanced at Bai Qi, took a deep breath, and handed over Xiong Wuliang's letter: "Read it yourself."
Bai Qi took the letter and looked at it for ten lines.
"This is really happening!"
"Marquis Quyang? Mi Liang? It's him again!" Bai Qi was shocked!
Ten thousand people could actually use the terrain to annihilate sixty thousand people!
Eliminate the enemy's effective forces in the field, and then easily capture the enemy's garrisoned city...
Is this a war of annihilation? Learned learned learned.
Le Yi became interested and looked at Bai Qi: "General Bai also knows about this Mi Liang? Have you had contact with him before?"
"You might as well tell me, what kind of person is this?"
In Bai Qi's mind, Xiong Wuliang's lazy and sarcastic smile appeared... his blood pressure rose instantly.
"Young Master Lazy, a typical Dandy from the Chu Kingdom!" Bai Qi commented with a hint of anger. Then he thought about it and admitted pertinently: "But at the moment, when it comes to fighting, it's not bad."
Le Yi glanced at Bai Qi and thought that there must be a story between the two people.
But he didn't think too much about it at the moment.
Think about the situation at hand again - the Qi army is confronting the coalition forces in Jishui. The southern part is already empty, and Xiong Wuliang has defeated 60,000 fresh troops...
If the fighting on the southern front reaches the front line, it will definitely boost the morale of the coalition forces and at the same time damage the morale of the Qi army!
"Come here, give me my order——"
…
The originally quiet west side of Jishui suddenly burst into cheers.
The five-color flags were waved one after another and it was very lively.
The Qi army camp on the east bank of Jishui was alarmed. The captains nervously gathered in front of the camp wall and stared at the coalition camp on the other side of the river. The ordinary soldiers pricked up their ears.
"What are they shouting?" Some Qi military captains looked confused...
Listening carefully again, the faces of the officers and soldiers of the Qi army could not help but look sad... A different kind of atmosphere spread in the camp.
In the main tent of the Qi army, General Chu Zi of Qi was also alerted by the sound. Just as he was about to ask people to inquire, a general came over: "General... the coalition forces on the other side were shouting loudly, saying yes... saying yes Chu State has captured Ju City and is about to attack Linzi!"
Chuzi was startled.
Chu State? Didn’t Chu State not participate in the coalition? Was it a sneak attack? These Nanman!
How come I haven't heard of such big news?
impossible!
However, Chuzi immediately realized that it was probably King Qi who had blocked the news in order to stabilize the morale of the frontline troops.
Big beads of sweat rolled down Chuzi's face.
If this is true, then Qi State will be in danger!
My rock-solid Jixi defense line may not be stable in the future... Even if I still order to continue to stabilize the position, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably be turbulent.
The morale of the 600,000-strong army is turbulent. That is no small matter!
Chuzi: "Send someone immediately to Linzi for confirmation!"
"At the same time, we warn the entire army - this is the enemy's plan to mess up our military's morale. Don't fall for it!"
"Anyone who spreads false rumors will be severely punished according to military law!"
…
At this moment, Mengchang Jun Tianwen was ordered to rush to [Muling Pass] at starry night.
Muling Pass is located north of [Jucheng] and west of [Jimo]. Two or three hundred miles further north from this pass is Linzi, the capital of the King of Qi... This is the southern gate of the capital of the King of Qi, and it is also the front line of the Chu army. The last stronghold before.
Once the Chu army crosses this pass, it will be a smooth plain all the way to Linzi.
At this time, Muling Pass was known as the most majestic pass in the world.
The strategic position of this place is extremely important. Thousands of years in the past and two thousand years in the future, this place will be a battleground for all soldiers fighting in the ancient times.
It can be said that whoever occupied this pass occupied half of today's Shandong Peninsula.
Such a battleground for military strategists has naturally left a heavy mark in China's three thousand years of war history - swords, guns, swords and halberds, filled with smoke. Later generations unearthed a large number of swords, halberds, spears, and war horse remains from various towns in Guanqian, as if to the world. Telling about the ancient iron-blooded situation here.
Tian Wen stood on top of the chariot, his face as determined as iron.
Behind him were 30,000 troops temporarily raised by Qi State - a full 10,000 of them were the city guards and palace guards of Linzi, the royal capital.
In order not to disturb the battle of Jixi, King Qi Tian Bijiang risked his life.
Even the imperial guards were completely handed over to Tian Wen!
Such courage and courage are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary mediocre masters.
"My lord, the road ahead is Muling Pass!" A soldier came to report.
Tian Wen put up a pergola with his hands and looked from a distance - he saw majestic mountains and beautiful scenery. At the top of the mountain range, there is a Great Wall that stretches as far as the eye can see, like a giant dragon, with Mulingguan looming in front of it.
Looking from a distance, the purple flag of the Qi army is still on the city wall.
Tian Wen was slightly relieved - it seemed that it was not the worst outcome.
"Send the order——" Tian Wen waved his hand.
"The whole army is stationed at Muling Pass, cutting arrows, cutting down trees, and preparing to roll stones!"
"I would like to see what else Xiong Wuliang can do!"
A general asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, our army is coming quickly, so Jucheng may not be lost... Why don't you go..."
Tian Wen shook his head decisively: "As long as Xiong Liang is not a fool, he will definitely capture Jucheng as quickly as possible after winning the Battle of Qinan!"
"There is no point in sending any more troops to Jucheng."
"It's just an increase in casualties!"
"Our great Qi is rich and prosperous. It won't be long before the king will send a steady stream of soldiers... By then there will be many soldiers and the army will be vast. It will not be too late to regain the lost land in the south of Qi!"
"The only mission of our army at present is to defend Muling Pass and stabilize the front!"
…
