Wu Qi didn't seem to take Yan's reinforcements seriously.
He waved the sword in his hand and shouted:
"Cavalry, attack!"
Following his order, the Chu cavalry rushed towards the city like a tide.
A fierce siege began.
The Chu cavalry under the city attacked fiercely, and the soldiers of the Patriot Army on the city resisted desperately.
The war drums thundered with great momentum.
Old General Qin Feng commanded Ruoding, encouraging the soldiers to hold on to the city.
The Patriot soldiers on the city relied on the solid city and sophisticated weapons.
A life-and-death struggle began with the Chu cavalry.
The arrows rain like springs, and the flying stones are like thunder.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but they were still unable to shake their determination.
Under the command of Wu Qi, the Chu cavalry under the city constantly adjusted their offensive strategies, trying to find a breakthrough.
The Patriot soldiers on the city relied on siege equipment manufactured by Gongshu Ban.
The attacks of Chu's cavalry were repelled time and time again.
Wu Qi looked at the siege equipment that had repeatedly created miracles. They were exquisite and exquisite.
It only requires the control of a few soldiers to exert astonishing destructive power.
A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself.
If Gongshu Ban can be brought back to the Chu State, the Chu State's strength will surely rise to the next level.
However, the power of Chu's cavalry was too powerful.
Although the Patriot soldiers were tenacious, they were still difficult to resist.
Compared with the exquisite defensive equipment of the Wei Kingdom, the attacking Chu cavalry only had huge and heavy siege rams.
But they have battle armor, helmets, and well-equipped equipment.
Under the cover of shields, hundreds of people carried the huge battering ram together.
Coupled with the cooperation of the cavalry ladders from the rear, the offensive became more fierce.
"Bang——"
Time after time, the battering ram hit the city gate hard, making a deafening sound.
The Patriot soldiers on the city tried their best to use thick iron chains to hold the battering ram to prevent it from destroying the city gate.
However, the Chu cavalry's offensive became more and more fierce, and the cracks in the city gate became larger and larger.
The defense of the city gradually became difficult, overwhelmed by the number of people.
It seemed that all the exquisite weapons could not stop the fierce attack of Chu's cavalry.
The defensive strength of Weiguo was gradually exhausted, and the city was in danger.
General Qin Feng also knew the seriousness of the situation.
He secretly sent a confidant to ride a fast horse to Duke Dingguo's team and asked for reinforcements to be accelerated.
However, what he didn't know was.
Duke Dingguo had already arrived near the city, but did not go directly to support.
Instead, he chose to lead his troops to camp on a high ground more than ten miles away from the city, relying on the terrain to observe the battlefield situation.
Seeing the small city crumbling under the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, it was like a small boat in the whirlpool.
Everyone I met was moved.
Even the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom were eager to rush down to the high ground and join the battlefield.
But Duke Ding was still calm and calm, and did not send out the signal to attack for a long time.
All the generals under his command were quite puzzled, and only one boldly asked:
"Sir, why don't we immediately support the city? Seeing that Chu's cavalry is about to break through the city?"
Duke Dingguo smiled, shook his head, and said lightly:
"Sending help in times of need is the most profound friendship."
Sure enough, the scout sent by Qin Feng to ask for help rolled and crawled all the way and knelt in front of Duke Ding:
"Sir, the city is in danger, please help me as soon as possible!"
Duke Dingguo glanced at the panicked scout, smiled slightly, and finally ordered:
"Send the order, all troops attack!"
Following the order of Duke Dingguo.
Like a sharp sword, the Yan army rushed down the high ground and penetrated into the rear of the Chu cavalry.
When the Patriot soldiers on the city saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was instantly boosted.
Old General Qin Feng had tears in his eyes, knowing that this battle had finally turned around.
Duke Dingguo personally led the elite troops of the State of Yan to attack the formation of the Chu State's cavalry.
Seeing that the city wall was about to be breached by the battering ram, the Chu army thought victory was in sight.
But he didn't expect Yan's reinforcements to arrive at a critical moment, and he suddenly fell into chaos.
The two sides of Yan and Chu instantly fell into a fierce battle.
Yan State.
Late at night, the bright moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines on the entire capital.
In the capital city at night, the lights are on and the city is extremely prosperous.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was very quiet, because the empress Yan Lichu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and played chess with Su Ye under the moonlight.
Unlike other courtiers, Su Ye would deliberately lose to the empress in a game of chess.
He fought unceremoniously on the chessboard. Yan Lichu had not played such a hearty chess game for a long time.
However, her late-night arrival was not all about playing chess.
There was something in her words, and she was making insinuations:
"Prime Minister Su, will you stay in Yan Kingdom forever?"
Su Ye twisted the chess piece with his fingers, then dropped it heavily.
A black seed completely blocked Yan Lichu's white seed.
Su Ye chuckled:
"Your Majesty, you lose."
But he avoided answering Yan Lichu's question.
Yan Lichu looked at the chessboard that was in a deadlock, and at Su Ye who looked like an immortal in white under the moonlight.
For some reason, she felt that Su Ye was extremely far away from her.
It seems that he does not belong to this vulgar world and will leave at any time.
Yan Lichu knew that Su Ye's change of topic was actually an answer.
She knew in her heart that a free person like Su Ye would never be willing to be bound by any shackles.
For some reason, Yan Lichu felt extremely sour inside.
But as proud as she is, she can only secretly feel sad.
His face was still expressionless, as if he didn't hear the evasion in Su Ye's words.
Instead, he changed the subject and brought up Li Zhi’s case:
"Prime Minister Su, have you found any clues about Sister Li Zhi these days?"
When it came to business, Su Ye immediately became serious and told the truth that Li Zhi was maimed and even had his tongue cut off.
Yan Lichu was shocked. This group of people not only dared to rob women in broad daylight on the streets of Dayan.
He was even so arrogant in the capital.
This was undoubtedly a challenge to her authority as the empress.
Yan Lichu's eyes flashed coldly, and he became furious:
"These people are so audacious. They dare to act so recklessly in the capital! Prime Minister Su, the criminals must be brought to justice. Otherwise, where will the laws of Dayan be?"
Su Ye nodded in agreement.
At this time, Yan Lichu no longer felt in the mood to continue playing chess, so he called the guards and turned to leave.
After the empress left, Ling Yu came with information about Weiguo.
"Sir, Duke Dingguo has arrived in Weiguo and is fighting with the Chu army under the city."
After speaking, Ling Yu also added:
"It is said that there is a peerless craftsman like Gongshu in the city of Weiguo."
When Su Ye heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
He gently stroked the chess piece, thoughtfully.
Sure enough.
That Wu Qi is not a reckless person, and he will never go around thousands of miles to attack the small country of Weiguo without any reason.
This public loss is the real goal that Chu State covets.
Su Ye stood up and looked at the bright moon outside the window, thinking a lot in his heart.
The existence of Gongshu Ban, a peerless craftsman, made the situation more delicate.
