Chapter 809 Young General vs. Rich Lady 112
Ji Yunhuan had already thought of an excuse, "He is abroad, he likes martial arts, and he likes this style. Don't ask too much, when the time comes, you will see him."
An Tong chatted with Ji Yunhuan for most of the night before reluctantly going to bed.
Ji Yunhuan was also very excited. Online dating is also a relationship. Who doesn’t want to show off their relationship? If An Tong knew about it, everyone else would know too.
Ji Yunhuan reached out and poked the bronze mirror. "How is it? Is it fun to surf the Internet?"
Huo Xiao also reached out and poked it, and as if their fingertips touched each other, ripples appeared on the surface of the bronze mirror.
"It's OK. It's quite lively. Some people are arguing, some are eating melons, some are acting crazy, and there are also a lot of people selling goods."
"Actually, I don't really understand what they are arguing about. It seems that in the world of gods, everyone spends a lot of time online every day. They can eat without farming and have no worries about their lives. It's great..."
Ji Yunhuan listened to Huo Xiao's voice and soon fell asleep.
As soon as the sky turned pale, the army of Qi stationed outside Pingyang City. They did not attack the city immediately, but just waited and saw what would happen.
Huo Xiao summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
"The Great Khan of Beirong is dead! Hedan was indeed quite capable. Both of his legs were crippled and one of his eyes was blind, but he was still able to surpass many of his brothers and ascend to the position of Khan."
"Qi State is not taking action, perhaps because it wants to wait and attack the city together with the Northern Rong. They are very smart, and they must want the Northern Rong to take the lead, and then they will reap the benefits."
Zhao Hai said excitedly: "I am willing to lead the vanguard battalion to fight and kill him back and forth. Do you really think Pingyang City is a soft persimmon that everyone wants to take a bite of!"
Huo Xiao agreed after a brief thought. With their mobility, a sneak attack would not be a problem.
"That's fine. Let's kill Qi's prestige and make them behave themselves. Then I can concentrate on conquering Guangling City. When Guangling City's 100,000 elite soldiers are in my hands, plus there will be more people who can work, what do I have to fear if the three kingdoms besiege the city?"
"I'll give you a thousand men. Go quickly and come back quickly. Don't fight too long."
Zhao Hai knelt down to receive the order, took the token and ran away excitedly.
Qi was located in the northeast of Wei, and the two countries had never had much contact. Wei and Beirong often traded with each other, of course, when they were not at war, but there was not even trade with Qi.
In terms of cattle, sheep and horses, Qi was not as good as the Northern Rong; in terms of rice, grain and silk, Qi was not as good as Lu; in terms of fabrics and brocades, Qi was not as good as Shu; in terms of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, Qi was not as good as Song and Lu. However, Qi was not completely useless. Qi was rich in slaves!
Other countries liked to buy people from Qi to serve as low-level soldiers, or buy tall and beautiful female slaves from Qi to show off their status.
Although Wei State has a small population, the army is very powerful because the Huo family army has been passed down for many years and each generation of the Huo family has good generals. In addition, Wei State has iron mines, gold mines, and silver mines, so even if the country is in such chaos, the current strength of Wei State is not too weak.
Qi State originally did not dare to attack Wei State, but it could not resist someone whispering in the king of Qi's ear every day, and the Northern Rong also repeatedly sent people to show goodwill, so the king of Qi began to think about dividing Wei State among the three countries.
The Qi army fought their way forward and occupied a lot of Wei territory, which were all sparsely populated grasslands.
The Qi army was not brutal. Once they occupied a territory, they would collect grain and conscript people, but would not kill people indiscriminately. But in the current situation, the people's lives were already difficult, so how could they withstand another round of plunder?
The city wall in the northeast direction has also been reinforced. The city gate is relatively small and has not been opened for many years. Zhao Hai drove an off-road vehicle and rushed out first. Behind him was a huge convoy and strong war horses.
The vanguard camp was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the heart of the Qi army.
The generals of Qi State did not expect that Pingyang City would dare to take the initiative to attack. They had just arrived and had no time to rest, and were caught off guard for a while.
Zhao Hai threw out a large piece of explosives, "Come on, you bastard, take your grandfather's blow! I can't kill you with the explosion!"
Explosions rang out one after another, flames appeared everywhere, there were wailing sounds, and countless casualties.
The soldiers of Qi were strong and generally tall, and were known for their bravery, otherwise other countries would not have spent a lot of money to buy people from Qi, but they were overwhelmed and fled in panic.
The general of Qi was so angry that he cursed, "The barbarians in the north are bullying me! They only said that the Huo family army uses iron tools and has excellent weapons, but they didn't say there is such a powerful artifact. What is this thing?"
"What's this about the Three Kingdoms siege, the Wei Kingdom is doomed to perish? What the hell! Does this look like it's going to perish? Huo Xiao dared to take the initiative to attack, he must have the confidence."
"Retreat! Retreat! Who spread the fake news that Guangling City and Pingyang City were fighting and that there was civil unrest in Wei? What a mess! If I had known, I would have traveled slower. If I had come earlier, I would have been cannon fodder!"
"Hurry up and retreat ten miles away! I won't be their stepping stone. I'll wait until Lu attacks."
Retreat is not running away. We cannot just run away without caring about anything, as that will result in greater casualties. So we still have to fight.
The fighting outside the city was so intense that the rumbling noise could be heard inside the city.
The Guangling troops who defected were not used in this battle. They had not been trained yet, could not drive, and could not use explosives. They just worked together in various teams, practiced their new weapons, and learned new flag signals and commands.
At noon, the fighting was still going on outside, so another group of people were sent from the city to support and replenish supplies, and they coordinated with each other in the retreat.
After all, they are few in number, and it would be troublesome if they were really trapped in an encirclement. It is almost time to retreat.
There were fewer people in the West Camp as many veterans had been called out to fight. All the Guangling troops were concentrated in the West Camp, and the city became theirs at this time.
People who know each other gather together with lunch boxes and chat.
"I don't know when it will be our turn to go to the battlefield. We have been here for a few days, but we are still not as good as those direct descendants."
"Even eating can't stop you from talking! You have food and drink, so why are you not satisfied? Have you learned the sword skills? You are just complaining here."
"Don't even mention those veterans. We are not even as good as women. I don't think there are any women going to the battlefield."
"You can't shoot accurately and you can't enter the Shenji Camp. What else can we do? It's an open selection. You can only blame yourself for not being as skilled as others."
"Why do you always argue with me? We used to be in the same camp, so we should be close to each other now that we are here. I am doing this for our own good. If we don't make a fuss, how can we get any benefits?"
"Are you crazy? What's there to make a fuss about? Did you get less food and drink, or didn't get any weapons? You are asking for trouble. Don't bring trouble to your brothers."
Everyone left with their lunch boxes, leaving only the soldier who had just complained.
The soldier was so angry that he threw the lunch box in his hand. The lunch box was made of aluminum, so it didn't break. He was so angry that he stomped on it twice and cursed, "A bunch of idiots! If you don't help me, I have a way! I have already warned you, but you didn't listen. You deserve to die!"
