"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened...something terrible has happened!"

"The Qin army is advancing like a whirlwind... and is less than a hundred miles away from my city of Daliang."

The soldier's terrified voice caused a moment of silence among the people in the hall, and King Xi of Wei was completely panicked.

A hint of resentment flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes. If it weren't for his elder brother's constant suspicion of him and his trust in that treacherous person who was bewitching the court, would the Wei Kingdom have fallen into such a state?

"What should we do... my brother... do you have a brilliant plan to save my Wei Kingdom?" King Xi of Wei could no longer care about saving face and looked at Wei Wuji with pleading eyes.

At this moment, Wei Wuji really wanted to run away as fast as possible. They were already at his doorstep, and now he remembered him?

Am I some kind of god?

With no soldiers and no generals, how can we repel the enemy?

But as a prince of Wei, even if there was a rift between the two brothers, he couldn't just watch his ancestors hand over the family business they had built.

He had considered various options. Ever since King Xi of Wei found him, he had considered every possibility, but all of them were overturned, leaving no possibility of breaking the deadlock by defeating Qin.

"well...."

He sighed deeply and said bitterly, "Now that things have come to this... there's nothing we can do!"

King Xi of Wei was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale. He murmured, "Is it all over? Is my Wei kingdom really finished? Have I become the ruler of a fallen kingdom?"

"wrong!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, his eyes lit up with anticipation, and he asked urgently, "Did you get any news from the person you sent for help?"

"As long as... as long as Han and Zhao are willing to take action, they will surely be able to resolve the current predicament, and even annihilate the Qin army."

Wei Wuji shook his head. "Han and Zhao are unlikely to come. Han is tied up by Wang Ben, and Zhao is busy dealing with the three tribes of the grasslands. How can they have the energy to attend to this?"

“Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if the other countries wanted to help, they are too far away and far slower than the Qin army.”

King Xi of Wei's last hope was shattered, and he collapsed to the ground, looking as if he had aged decades in an instant. Where was the former vigor and spirit he once possessed?

A complex look flashed in Wei Wuji's eyes. He couldn't bear to see the Wei Kingdom fall, so he said in a low voice with no other choice, "The only plan right now is to concentrate all our forces to defend Daliang to the death."

"Waiting for reinforcements from other countries to arrive..."

Upon hearing this, King Xi of Wei regained some of his luster in his eyes and immediately ordered his guards to do as Wei Wuji had instructed.

“My brother, it is my fault. I did not trust you... If I had listened to you earlier, things would not have come to this.” King Xi of Wei gave a bitter smile.

No one knows whether these are his heartfelt words or just words of weakness spoken in an attempt to find someone to rely on during adversity!

Wei Wuji was also filled with mixed feelings. He glanced at King Xi of Wei and shook his head slightly, "Brother, why bother? Let's withdraw the Qin army first."

He had something else to say: although this plan was the only way to break the deadlock at present, it depended on whether the other countries were willing to come to the rescue.

To put it bluntly, the State of Wei is currently vulnerable to destruction, and they won't do anything without benefit. All the benefits promised now are essentially empty talk; the State of Wei simply cannot deliver on them.

even....

It might have driven out the Qin army, but it would also have led to several states dividing and devouring Wei.

After all... Wei currently has no troops available, and it needs to reclaim the several counties that have fallen into the hands of the Qin army, so it needs to rely on the assistance of other states.

In this regard, no one can guarantee that the other countries won't have similar ideas!

......

"Brothers, speed up for me! The glory of destroying a nation is within reach!" The wicked man rode his horse at the forefront, shouting incessantly.

Now, they are less than a hundred miles away from Daliang.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers' hearts burned even brighter, and they immediately began to speed up, especially the infantry, who moved so fast that it felt like sparks were flying from the soles of their feet.

The distance of less than a hundred li passed in the blink of an eye, and the Qin army stopped a few hundred meters outside the city of Daliang.

At this time, Wei Wuji had already changed into military attire and forcibly gathered 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers. He even drew upon the servants, guards, and retainers of the powerful and wealthy families in the city to barely manage to assemble the force.

"Is the one who comes from Qin?" Wei Wuji looked down at the Qin army lined up in the distance and shouted the question.

The wicked man rode his horse forward a few steps, crossed his arms, and looked down at the rider arrogantly, saying, "Who are you? State your name."

"I am Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling of Wei. Are you the wicked husband?"

Their gazes met across the distance, as if sparks were flying.

"Overbearing a domineering aura!"

"He's someone important."

The two of them instantly formed an opinion of each other.

"I've long heard of your literary and military prowess, far surpassing that good-for-nothing King Xi of Wei. Seeing you today, I can confirm it." The wicked husband smirked and mocked, "If you were the ruler, destroying Wei would truly require some effort."

Just then, King Xi of Wei, who had just climbed onto the city wall, overheard these words. His face instantly darkened, and he gave Wei Wuji a vicious look before quickly composed himself.

"Heh, you're not bad either. Everyone says you have incredible martial arts skills, but your brain isn't very sharp. This counter-espionage scheme... Rumors really can't be trusted."

With a fake smile and feigned indifference, King Xi of Wei approached Wei Wuji and sarcastically remarked on his wicked husband.

It must be said that his pretentious demeanor actually had a certain air of composure, which made the surrounding Wei soldiers look at him with new respect.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense."

The wicked man, too lazy to engage in verbal sparring, simply waved his hand forward, and instantly the thousands of troops behind him surged forth like a raging river crashing into the majestic city of Daliang.

Wei Wuji gave a wry smile and glanced at Wei Wangxi beside him. He had intended to stall for as long as possible, but Wei Wangxi had managed to ruin things for him.

This wicked husband... is far too decisive and efficient.

"Crossbowmen, prepare."

"When the Qin army reached a hundred paces away, they fired in unison."

"Hold the ladders on the city wall to prevent the Qin army from climbing over."

"......"

Despite being outnumbered and outmatched by the enemy, Wei Wuji remained calm and composed, issuing orders to deal with the Qin army's offensive.

The wicked man didn't take it seriously at all. He didn't even bring his weapons. Seeing that the siege vehicle had already been pushed to the city gate, he rode his horse at full speed to the city.

"Bang!"

He leaped off his horse and kicked the battering ram hard in mid-air.

With the force of gravity, the battering ram slammed into the city gate, producing a deafening roar.

A flurry of dust fell from the city gate, blocking the impact.

"continue!"

The soldiers quickly pulled the ram back, and then released it.

The wicked man's sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, were fixed on the trajectory of the falling hammer. Just as it passed in front of him, he suddenly kicked it again.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

The city gate shook violently, making a sound that made one's teeth ache.

He was now carrying immense strength, and with his support, the battering ram struck like a meteor. This was because the capital city of Daliang had very heavy city gates.

In other cities, these two blows would have been enough to break the door bolts.

"continue!"

"Bang... Boom..."

The battering ram continued its relentless assault on the city gate, causing it to shake more and more violently, and the falling dust completely enveloped everyone.
