The wind blew gently, raising clouds of dust.
There are only two people standing in the forest now.
Apart from the breathing of these two people, there was no other sound.
Even the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves had died down, completely silent.
Bai Qi clenched the long spear in his hand, his eyes slowly closed, and he just stood facing the child without any other movement.
The child sneered and moved the fire spear in his hand again and again, but it was always a test and he never stabbed Bai Qi's body.
The wind gradually became noisier, and the forest gradually came to life as the two of them stood there.
However, this life belongs to nature, to heaven and earth, not to them.
"upbraid!"
The silence was broken by the child's angry shout, and he thrust the flaming spear forward, pointing it directly at Bai Qi's throat.
"Buzz!"
There was a buzzing sound in the air, and then the flaming spear appeared to have hit empty space.
When the child turned around, he saw a bloody spear falling and heading straight for his head.
"Bang!"
With the sound of weapons clashing, the fire spear that had just been thrust out was retracted and collided with the long spear.
"That's a good reaction!"
The child sneered and did not hold back any longer. A flash of fire rose from the tassel of the fire spear, climbed up the tip of the spear, and then rushed towards the long spear in Bai Qi's hand.
"But that's all I can do!"
The flames suddenly grew brighter, and before Bai Qi could react, he was possessed by the fire and turned into a fire man.
There was no wailing, no burning aroma, only a figure wrapped in fire.
The child narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he saw something clearly. His face changed, and he turned the fire spear in his hand and stabbed it back fiercely.
"Bang!"
There was another sound of fighting, and Bai Qi had already swung his long spear again. Looking at the previous area, there was no one in sight, only a ball of fire burning there.
"That's a good reaction."
The same sentence, spoken by different people, is particularly ironic.
Bai Qi gently put away the spear in his hand, took two steps back, and asked, "Does that child have a name?"
"My name remains unchanged, and I am the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assemblies in Heaven, the Third Prince Nezha!"
Nezha drew his flaming spear and took two steps back, pointing at Bai Qi and saying, "Hey man, tell me your name. I won't kill nameless people."
"The Emperor of Great Qin has appointed Bai Qi the God of Death." Bai Qi also announced his name, sheathed his spear, and continued, "The Third Prince can't kill me, nor can he detain me. Why waste time like this? It's better to let me go. It can be considered a good relationship."
"You're a talker." Nezha sneered and said sarcastically, "If you tie your hands and feet and kneel before me, I can let you go and establish this good relationship. If you can't do that, what good relationship can we talk about?"
"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Bai Qi also laughed, and stood up the long spear that he had put down.
"There's nothing to talk about in the first place!"
Without saying anything, Nezha tapped the ground with his right foot and rushed over with his flaming spear in hand. Flames surged from his body, and the spear tip aimed straight at Bai Qi's head.
…
Xinzheng had already experienced a night of fierce fighting.
Countless Zhao cavalry archers were nailed to the city walls, unable to advance or retreat, and instead became a natural barrier for the Qin army.
Li Mu watched the number of Zhao cavalry archers in his hands decrease little by little, and his already ugly face became even uglier.
Chunshen Jun was still drinking tea in his own tent, not caring about the tragic situation outside.
Chunshen Jun had probably anticipated the current situation.
How could the Zhao cavalry archers, who were originally cavalry, gain an advantage in a siege?
Not to mention, these 100,000 Zhao cavalry archers had just been pinned to the ground by a group of more than 50,000 Qin soldiers a while ago, and were nailed to the ground one after another, unable to move.
"Your Majesty, General Zhao requests an audience."
The soldiers outside announced, causing Chunshen Jun to put down the teacup in his hand and respond, "Let him in."
"only!"
As soon as the soldiers outside responded, Li Mu had already entered the tent. He looked at Chunshen Jun, suppressed his anger, and bowed: "Greetings, Chunshen Jun."
"Why do you look like this, General? It makes me feel particularly distressed." Chunshen Jun did not point out the truth, but instead made a few sarcastic remarks, "If you don't know, you would think we have lost the battle."
Li Mu could only suppress the anger in his heart. A small number of the 100,000 Zhao cavalry archers were nailed to the city wall and could not move.
Although it only served as a ladder, it also added a layer of protection to Xinzheng.
But now the Zhao cavalry archers can't charge forward. They are shot down one by one. If they can't charge forward again, after the Qin army develops for a few more days, they may really have to take a detour.
"Lord Chunshen, now is a good time to attack the city. If we hesitate any longer, once the Qin army has fully prepared its defenses, we'll be forced to take a detour. By then, it will be practically the same as a defeat."
Although Li Mu knew he had to bow his head, he had been fighting for many years after all, so he just retorted sarcastically and did not curse directly, which was considered giving face.
Chunshen Jun naturally knew this truth, but as long as Li Mu did not bow his head and hand over the military power of the Zhao cavalry archers, the matter would have to drag on for a while.
At worst, they could just take a detour. Anyway, the city of Xinzheng was tightly surrounded by Zhao cavalry archers, and it would be impossible for the Qin army to catch up with them immediately after taking a detour.
"The time to attack the city has not yet arrived. Let's wait a little longer." Chunshen Jun's face did not show much fluctuation. He even sipped his tea calmly. "Let's wait a little longer."
"How long do you have to wait?" Li Mu frowned, feeling that his anger was beginning to fade. "Lord Chunshen, please give me a definite answer, so I can rest assured."
