After exchanging a few pleasantries, Binlong's gaze fell upon the four Qin generals and the 100,000 vigorous Qin soldiers not far away.
Wang Tian immediately pulled him toward the four Qin generals. The four men acted very naturally, immediately dismounted, and greeted him with smiles.
Upon approaching, Wang Tian introduced them, saying, "These four are fierce generals under the command of Wang Jian, the Supreme General of Qin. Their abilities are highly praised by Efu, the Grand Commandant of Qin."
Then, he introduced Bin Long to the four Qin generals, saying, "This is Bin Long, the garrison commander of Anye City, an important town in our Qi state. His ability to deploy troops and arrange formations is among the top five in our Qi state. After some time to mature, he will surely become a pillar of our Qi state."
These compliments pleased Binlong greatly, and he quickly waved his hand in a humble manner, saying, "Oh, General Wang, you flatter me!" Then, he raised his hand, clasped his hands in a salute, and said with a smile, "Binlong greets the four generals."
The four returned the greeting, saying, "General Bin, you are too kind. We have troubled you greatly this time, and we hope you will forgive us!"
Bin Long waved his hand and sneered, "To be honest with the four generals, if it weren't for my duty, I would really like to fight alongside you all and destroy the Yan Kingdom!"
After hearing this, the four men exchanged smiles, and one of the generals said, "General Bin's lofty aspirations are truly admirable. If given the opportunity, we will certainly fight alongside General Bin and share a celebratory drink together."
Then another person asked, "General Bin, what is it that you hold a grudge against the Yan Kingdom? Is it because you have a grudge against the people of Yan? If so, please tell us. We will keep an eye out for you and help you avenge yourself."
Upon hearing this, Bin Long was overjoyed, but then said angrily, "It is Ju Xin, a general of Yan. He was originally from Zhao, but he betrayed his ancestors and became loyal to the King of Yan!"
"Back then, he breached Ding'an City and carried out a bloody massacre within its walls, causing my relatives...to all die tragically under his blade..."
Seeing this, Wang Tian chimed in, "Generals, if we have the chance to find this person, could you please retrieve his head for General Bin to offer as a sacrifice to his family?"
The four nodded solemnly, patting their chests and saying, "We are able to travel freely within Qi thanks to the Qi Kingdom's favor. As the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated, and we will naturally help you in this matter."
Upon receiving affirmative answers from the four men, Binlong was overjoyed and could hardly contain his excitement. He quickly said, "Binlong thanks the four generals. Please enter the city as soon as possible to avoid delaying important matters."
"Of course!" The four men agreed verbally, but inwardly they all sneered, "Serves you right for being so eager to die!"
Wang Tian and Bin Long quickly led the four Qin generals and 100,000 Qin soldiers into Anye City.
The countless onlookers in the city were terrified by this sight and scattered in all directions. The saying "Qin warriors are like tigers and wolves" was widely circulated, and even though they knew that the Qin warriors were only passing through, they still couldn't suppress their fear.
However, Bin Long remained unusually calm, and occasionally shouted, "Why are you all acting like this? Qi and Qin have just formed a marriage alliance, and our two countries have always been friendly..."
"The Qin army is a friend of Qi, so there is no need for you to panic!" His words carried an unquestionable authority, attempting to appease the people.
As the Qin army poured into the city like a flood, the gates of Anye slowly closed. Wang Tian swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down.
As the Qin army advanced deeper into the city, the atmosphere in Anye City inexplicably became increasingly tense, with a faint but palpable sense of impending doom spreading. However, Binlong seemed completely oblivious, continuing his enthusiastic conversation with Wang Tian and the four Qin generals.
On the surface, the Qin generals maintained communication with Binlong, but secretly they were observing the city's defenses and high points, searching for its weaknesses so that they could seize them quickly later.
Binlong continued to lead the way, leading the Qin army toward the rear city gate. Anye City was situated in a natural barrier, and the only way to pass through it was to go through the city itself. In other places, one could simply bypass the city without even entering it.
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at the center of Anye City. Wang Tian quietly gripped the sword at his waist and first gave a wink to the four Qin generals.
The four immediately understood and nodded silently. Then, one of them casually turned around and waved to the Qin soldiers following closely behind.
The Qin soldiers immediately gripped their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing that everything was ready, Wang Tian drew his longsword with a 'whoosh' and stabbed Bin Long through the heart.
Bin Long, who was still chatting and laughing, suddenly froze. A sharp pain in his chest made him frown, and he looked at Wang Tian with disbelief in his eyes. "You...you...."
Unfortunately, the fatal wound from the sword piercing his heart prevented him from finishing his sentence; his body went limp, and he collapsed, dying instantly.
The confidants and guards who followed Binlong were also stunned by the sudden turn of events. Before they could make a move, they were killed on the spot by the four Qin generals and the Qin soldiers who rushed up.
"action!"
Wang Tian gave a loud shout, and the four Qin generals immediately acted according to the previously agreed plan. Two of them led 20,000 troops straight to the city wall and city gate.
"You two will each lead 20,000 troops, divided into left and right wings, and act as you see fit!" In this urgent situation, Wang Tian disregarded any potential rudeness and coldly issued the order.
"Yes!" The two Qin generals did not hesitate and immediately mustered their troops to spread out into the city.
At this time, there were still 40,000 troops remaining!
Wang Tian personally led them to charge towards the garrison camp located in the south of the city.
Just as they had planned, the city's defenders were caught off guard and routed by the Qin army, utterly helpless.
Some even shouted, "Qin army... what are you doing? We are the Qi army! You've attacked the wrong people!!"
It's absolutely ridiculous!
On the other side, soldiers in the garrison camp were conducting drills.
Suddenly, shouts of battle erupted as Wang Tian led the Qin army into the camp like wolves and tigers, hacking at anyone they saw without a word, their blades falling swiftly and decisively.
"Quickly, counterattack! Counterattack now! The Qin army's intentions are impure! Counterattack immediately!" The defenders were caught off guard and hastily organized a resistance, but the Qin army's offensive was swift and fierce, and the defenders were quickly scattered.
Wang Tian brandished his longsword, directing the Qin army to swiftly occupy key points of the camp. The Qin army's actions were orderly and displayed their elite status.
The generals of the Qi army camp personally went down into the fray and took advantage of the chaos to attack Wang Tian, intending to use the strategy of capturing the king first. However, Wang Tian's swordsmanship was fierce, and he killed several of the defending generals on the spot, which greatly demoralized the defending army.
Meanwhile, the other Qin generals within the city also acted according to plan, either controlling the city gates or occupying strategic locations. The defenders of Anye City were divided and surrounded, plunging into chaos. The Qin army's actions were swift and efficient, giving the defenders almost no chance to catch their breath.
The people inside the city were terrified by this sight and hid in fear of being caught in the fighting. Meanwhile, the Qin army rampaged through the city unchecked.
