Woo woo woo——

The sound of trumpets resounded across the battlefield.

Tian Ce held a spear in his hand and led the way.

Behind him were hundreds of stone cannons and catapults.

In order to break the city, Tian Zhongxun gave an impromptu order.

Let the craftsmen cut down trees on a large scale.

Then send laborers to be responsible for quarrying.

Tian Zhongxun had at least tens of thousands of people under his command.

They spared no expense in building many siege weapons, such as ladders, Lu Gongcha, and battering rams, all of which were prepared for Linzi City.

"put!"

Tian Ce raised his hand and dropped it.

The flag officer immediately waved the command flag.

The stone cannon and catapult fired at the same time.

Huge rocks fell from the sky.

Soldiers were constantly being killed by huge rocks.

The entire city wall seemed to be crumbling.

"kill!"

The flag officer waved the command flag again.

The chariots charged forward to cover the ladders at the rear.

Tian Ce watched from a distance with a grim smile.

Linzi can no longer hold on!

Looking at the many wounded soldiers on the city wall, it shows that their exhaustion tactics have taken effect. In just two or three days, they will surely be able to break through the city!

Behind the legion was the Qi State camp.

There were many soldiers resting in the tent.

Tian Zhongxun sat in the central military camp, looking at the sand table.

On both sides were surrounded by many counselors.

"Your Highness, the reinforcements from Daye City have already reached Linzi. Fortunately, they are being held outside Xijiao City. According to spies, they can hold out for at least ten days. Even if Xijiao City is breached, the reinforcements from Daye City will suffer heavy casualties."

"Very good." Tian Zhongxun was quite satisfied. "Have you received any news from the King of Chu and the King of Jin?"

The lieutenant general shook his head and whispered, "The two places are too far apart, and the spies we sent out haven't returned yet. Even more problematic, Liaodong and other counties have also taken action. Your Highness, please see that Jinan, Jibei, Liaodong, Donghai, and Xue counties have all dispatched troops. They've likely mobilized county and prefecture soldiers, forming an army and sending them in five directions. Simultaneously, they've completely sealed off Linzi, Jiaodong, and Langya."

Bang!

Tian Zhongxun exerted force suddenly.

At this moment, his face became extremely ugly.

The smile just now disappeared.

In fact, he had expected this day to come.

But it was more than three days faster than he expected!

"They've probably already prepared food and supplies ahead of time. Once word of our uprising spreads, they'll immediately send troops to support us. It seems fighting will break out everywhere tomorrow, and it'll be difficult for us to hold out."

Another lieutenant general stood up and asked a question.

They looked at each other, also frightened.

"So, the solution is still in Linzi City!"

"Your Majesty, we must hurry."

"Only by conquering Linzi can there be hope."

"I know." Tian Zhongxun pointed outside the door. "Cer is still attacking the city. In two days, when all the siege equipment is ready, I will storm Linzi. We will try to capture Linzi in one fell swoop!"

"Report—"

"Three hundred miles, rush!"

The herald rushed in holding documents.

"The prince set an ambush at Mount Li."

"However, Ning Que discovered them, so he took a detour and attacked Gaotang County. After being deceived by him, the Gaotang defenders surrendered almost without a fight. By the time the prince arrived, he was already half an hour late, but he still fought a bloody battle and was ultimately killed by Ning Que..."

Bang!

The cup in Tian Zhongxun's hand fell to the ground.

He looked at the herald in surprise.

He took the document tremblingly.

All the generals stood up at the same time.

Everyone's face was filled with fear.

They were naturally all familiar with Tian Bi.

Tian Bi was very popular in Qi.

The key is that he has the best talent.

He could recognize a thousand words at the age of three and recite poems at the age of five.

When he was young, he was proficient in riding and shooting, and had excellent martial arts skills.

Later, he was accepted as a disciple at the Jixia Academy and studied under Leng Qian.

Tian Bi was well-known for his talent in both civil and military affairs.

He has often provided advice behind the scenes over the years.

Assisted Tian Zhongxun in governing Qi.

Without Tian Bi, Qi would never have achieved its present prosperity.

Therefore, Tian Bi was appointed as the crown prince at an early age.

He is the recognized heir to the State of Qi!

Naturally, these counselors and generals had a good relationship with him.

Many of them watched him grow up.

I also have a good impression of him.

But now... he's dead?!

"You...what did you say?"

"Who, died?!"

The herald knelt on the ground.

He was also trembling at this moment.

"The prince... he was killed by Ning Que!"

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"My prince is invincible in the world. He has always been the one to kill people. How could anyone possibly kill him?!"

"Your Highness, I dare not speak rashly." The messenger trembled and said hurriedly, "This is the Crown Prince's will. Before his death, he asked me to give it to you. In addition, Ning Que has a message for you."

"explain!!!"

"He said that you caused his father and brother to die in battle in Hulu Valley. He will personally slaughter the Tian royal family and let the prince... let the prince..."

"What?!"

"No descendants, no whole family!"

Bang!

Tian Zhongxun slammed his palm on the table.

The other counselors and generals were also extremely angry.

"What nonsense!"

"He actually dared to kill the prince!"

"Your Highness, we must capture Linzi as soon as possible. Then we must capture Shen Qinghe alive and make her wish she were dead!"

Tian Zhongxun gritted his teeth and his eyes were red.

Unlike his other sons, Tian Bi was his most cherished son. As the eldest, Tian Zhongxun placed high hopes on him. He always remembered the excitement of becoming a father for the first time and showed a preference for him.

Even though Tian Bi had different ideas from him and seemed weaker, Tian Zhongxun never considered changing the crown prince. No matter how much Tian Ce tried to please him, Tian Zhongxun always believed that Tian Bi was more suitable.
