"Report to your Majesty! The Northern Chu army has been discovered at the thirty-mile defense line outside the west city and has begun to attack us!"
Late at night, a long and urgent order sounded through the Qi Palace, waking up Tian Bing who was sleeping.
"What!?" Tian Bing suddenly sat up from the bed, "Did Master Peng notify you!?"
"We have been notified. General Peng has already ordered his troops to prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Quick, tell me the specific situation!"
...
"General, troops are coming from three sides. They are coming by water! They are much faster than we expected!" As soon as Peng Yue walked out of the camp, he heard a general reporting to him anxiously.
"Don't be impatient and speak calmly! The defense lines on all sides of Linzi City have been deployed a long time ago. Why panic?" Peng Yue scolded, picked up the weapon from the weapon rack next to him, and asked as he walked, "Beichu's How many troops have come? Where is Xiang An? Which side is Xiang An?"
"It's basically certain that Bei Chu came out in full force and decided to fight to the death with me, Qi. As for Xiang An... When I returned to the general, I didn't find Xiang An showing up at the front line." The general said with a little uncertainty. Reply Peng Yue said.
"Didn't show up?" Peng Yue stopped and looked at the general in surprise, then a look of realization appeared on his face.
"After Xiang An left Western Chu and founded Northern Chu, there were rumors that he fought with Xiang Yu, the king of Xi Chu, and both sides lost. It seems to be true now. Otherwise, with his temperament, it would be impossible not to appear at the end of the war. The ones at the forefront." Peng Yue said, with a relaxed expression of relief on his face.
"It would be great if Xiang An really didn't come. As long as he doesn't come, our battle to defend the city will be won!"
On the battlefield where Xiang An participated, it was basically impossible for the enemy's defense line to remain intact. Xiang An, riding that damn thousand-mile horse, was able to tear a hole in the complete and solid defense line with his own strength, and then his soldiers They will attack crazily from the gaps in the defense line, and then radiate the army's advantage to the entire battlefield.
Peng Yue had learned Xiang An's skilled and efficient fighting methods many times and was familiar with them, but he never had a good way to restrain Xiang An.
But this time, Xiang An didn't come to the front because of the dog-eat-dog fight with Xiang Yu!
Peng Yue, how could he not be excited?
Beichu's current territory is not very large, and its control over its own territory is seriously insufficient. This is a necessary stage for a new country to go through. Xiang An himself is also unable to enter the front line at this time and uses his most familiar method to fight for himself. The country won the victory, so Peng Yue knew it, and Xiang An, who had returned to the military camp to wait for the outcome of the war, also knew it.
This was a desperate, desperate gamble that had to be made.
The bet was successful, and Xiang An captured Linzi and controlled the land and resources of the entire Qi State, allowing him to recuperate and make his next plan.
If the bet is lost, Beichu will not be able to organize another powerful attack anyway, and the replenishment of subsequent resources will be far away. It is very likely that he will be beaten to death with a stick, while Qi can take advantage of the situation to attack Beichu. Swallow it and continue to serve as Liu Ji's spy in the east to interfere with Xiang Yu's actions.
Victory leads to survival, defeat leads to death. This is the same for both sides in the war.
This was the founding battle of Beichu.
"We will not retreat from this battle! Beichu soldiers——!
! Zijuan was wearing the armor and robes of a general, with a resolute and beautiful face, and the bright moonlight reflected in her eyes. She raised her spear, pointed at Linzi's defense line, and shouted filial piety, "Follow me and kill!"
! "
"kill--!
! "
Looking at the Beichu army that had already rushed over in the night, the extremely experienced Peng Yue was not afraid at all. He stood in the middle of the defense line on his horse and conveyed the message to the messenger.
"Pass this general's order! The King of Northern Chu is not on the front line! We, the generals, have nothing to fear. As long as we resist the offensive of Xia Bei Chu, the person with the most merit will be promoted to the third level! We will reward him with a salary of a hundred stones and a fine horse!"
"Kill! Keep them out of Linzi!"
Under Peng Yue's command, the Qi army formed a formation around the defense line.
“Haah————!
! "
Zijuan adopted the same method of uniting the army as Xiang An, which was extremely dangerous - leading the way!
"If my brother has the intention of risking his life and resurrecting his life, then I, Zijuan, should be fearless and take the lead to crush the Qi Kingdom for me, Northern Chu!
! "
Zijuan's roar, like Xiang An's voice, made people dizzy.
The spear was stretched out, and in just one turn, a Qi soldier who came to stop Zijuan was picked off his horse by Zijuan and fell heavily to the ground.
"Hmph! Are you still trying to stop me now!? Old dog Peng Yue, I will kill you!" Zijuan swung the spear, and three drops of blood were thrown to the ground. The sharpness reflected the moonlight, and Zijuan was as domineering as Xiang An. , his vigor was directed at Peng Yue in the Qi army.
Ten meters apart, the armies of both sides were already in contact. Peng Yue had excellent hearing, so he could naturally hear Zi Juan's words.
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed as if he had heard some joke.
"You don't stay behind and serve your good brother, but you go to the front line to wield swords and guns. Your brother really doesn't know how to use people." Peng Yue picked up his Changge, spurred his horse to rush out, and faced Zijuan. He joked, "What a good skin, but it's a pity that he will die on this battlefield today."

"Without your brother, you can't win. Why don't you surrender as soon as possible and become a wife in my house?"
Zijuan looked at Peng Yue with a relaxed smile on his face, but she was not annoyed at all. She turned the spear in her hand and spoke in a cold tone.
"Although as a female general, I have to hear this kind of cliché every time I go to the battlefield, but it still makes me feel extremely sick every time I hear it..." She narrowed her eyes, which actually made Peng Yue shudder. " It’s useless to say more, if you think that my brother is the only one in Beichu, then you are totally wrong - come and fight!”
"Humph, I don't know what to do!" Peng Yue saw that he could not be persuaded, so he did not continue to persuade him, and rushed forward quite angrily.
Ping——
The spear and Chang Ge collided together, making the sound of gold and iron.
Both of them were extremely fast, fighting back and forth on horseback.
The battle between the two armies was one of attack and defense, and the winner could not be determined in a short period of time. Most of the remaining strength of Qi State was here, and it was impossible to be captured at once.
"You girl, you are quite strong!" After more than ten rounds, Peng Yue felt vaguely that his wrist was numb, and he couldn't help but put away some of his contempt and adjusted his condition.
Zijuan didn't reply, she just chuckled and made a move that made Peng Yue stunned.
She strengthened her legs and broke away from Zao Ji's back. She turned somersault in the air and stood on Zao Ji's back.
"If your strength is only this level, Peng Yue, then I will come and take your head!"
The dashing female general on horseback pointed at Peng Yue, who was in shock, and declared coldly.
