The weather in Wan County in late April is perfect.
At this time, the sun is shining on your body. It is not very hot, but actually warm. If we wait another month and enter May, the weather will turn hotter and it will be a bit hot in the sun.
The army led by Wang Qi went all the way north. When passing through Yuyang County and Jiyang County, the county magistrates in both places surrendered and did not resist. Like Xinye County and other places, they did not have the courage to resist.
Xiangyang City, a large and strong city, was defeated by Wang Qi, let alone others?
So no one can compete.
Everyone simply chose to surrender.
Wang Qi never adjusted the officials in these places. In a large-scale war, unless he is the governor of a county, he can affect the war. The magistrate of a county is like a grassroots, and he will fall to whoever is stronger. On the one hand, because there is no ability to take risks.
Unless someone is extremely courageous and willing to resist to the death, there are very few such people.
Wang Qi¡¯s army was supplied with supplies along the way. The army had sufficient food and the soldiers had high morale.
After the battle at Changmen Mountain in Xunyang County, Lujiang County, all the soldiers' military merits and awards were directly distributed. Those who deserve awards will be rewarded. After arriving at Xiangyang and capturing Xiangyang City, Wang Qi took control of the Chu State's treasury, so as soon as he was rewarded, he was awarded again, and adjustments were made.
The entire army of Qi has gained a lot. Under such circumstances, the soldiers are naturally very motivated, because every battle is an excellent opportunity to receive rewards for meritorious service, and no one is willing to miss it.
On this occasion, our morale is high.
? ?Every one of them is thinking about making meritorious deeds.
The army entered Wanxian County and did not stop. They hurried all the way to the outside of Wanxian County.
The army immediately set up their formation.
The number of soldiers in Wang Qi's army is actually only more than 40,000, but Wang Qi has created a huge momentum, raised more flags, and forcibly created the appearance of more than 50,000 soldiers.
There were so many flags and so many people that it was difficult to tell how many people there were.
Wang Qi's army was arrayed outside the city. He stepped forward to shout, "Xu Huanshan, your old friend is here."
Although Wang Qi wants to delay time, he is the one considering defense. However, for Wang Qi, if he just shrinks back, it will make Xu Huanshan see the flaws, and even lead to Xu Huanshan's powerful attack.
Wang Qi now went against the grain and took the initiative to challenge the enemy.
Xu Huanshan, Pu Yuanxiao, Han Jingbai, and Zeng Hong were all on the tower. In addition, Xiong Zhuang, Wei Xi and others were also there, and all of them gathered on the tower.
Everyone looked at Wang Qi with murderous intent.
Wang Qi¡¯s deep hatred for Xiong Zhuang was the result of destroying the country and destroying the family. Even in Xiong Zhuang's eyes, it was Wang Qi who caused Xiong Huai to be forced to death, so when he saw Wang Qi, his eyes turned red, and he clutched the city wall with his hands, wishing to kill Wang Qi immediately.
The same goes for Han Jingbai. His disciple Yang Sanqian is the first person in the Taoist sect, and he is also the Taoist sect's heavenly master. Under the leadership of Yang Sanqian, the entire Zixia Mountain is the leader of Taoist sects in the world.
Because of Wang Qi, Yang Sanqian¡¯s martial arts was abolished, and he quickly aged. Nowadays, Yang Sanqian can only read books and annotate Taoist classics, and compile martial arts secrets from Zixia Mountain. If Yang Sanqian had not had special circumstances, he would not have lived long.
Han Jingbai also hopes to kill Wang Qi.
This time, he was originally going to join the battle, and after hearing Xu Huanshan's plan for the battle, he knew that there was going to be a war, so he took the initiative and said: "General, Pindao is requesting a battle. Wang Qi is the Grand Master alone. His Purple Ji Sutra cannot work, and his strength is not strong."
Xu Huanshan smiled and said: "Taoist Master Han, please wait a moment. Let me test Wang Qi's situation and get to know him better before we start a fight. A fight must be fought. Wang Qi only has one grand master, and we have three grand masters. In this battle, we must first suppress Wang Qi¡¯s morale and further weaken Wang Qi¡¯s combat effectiveness.¡±
Han Jingbai nodded and said nothing more.
As a general in the army, Xu Huanshan has his own ideas when leading troops to fight.
He looked at Wang Qi, who was standing on horseback outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "King Qi, in the past, you and I were colleagues. Even if we didn't know each other, we could be regarded as friends after we met. Now, you are the leader of Qi. Attacking the imperial court is a traitor, so how can he be considered an old friend?"
Wang Qi said: "Xu Huanshan, whether you and I are old friends has nothing to do with anything else. In addition, I am a traitor to the court, and that was forced by the little emperor! The little emperor was supported by me,Bai Bai and Pu Yuanxiao were in a suppressed situation, and they were evenly matched.
"Retreat!"
Zeng Hong fought for a while, but saw that he could not suppress the opponent, and even continued to fight. In the end, he and Han Jingbai were unable to fight, and they were defeated.
While the strength is still there, withdraw immediately.
The three of them retreated directly. Wang Qi stopped Xia Houhu and prevented him from pursuing them.
Wang Qi raised his head and looked towards the city tower, shouting: "Xu Huanshan, the great master of Zixia Mountain you invited is nothing more than that! After fighting for a while, he actually escaped on his own. After all, you Xu Huanshan is also a master who has been famous for many years. Why? Why don¡¯t you take action yourself?¡±
Xu Huanshan looked cold and solemn and snorted, Wang Qi was indeed sinister and vicious.
Fortunately, there was no direct battle.
"Otherwise, Wang Qi will take advantage of him."
Xu Huanshan said coldly: "Wang Qi, the army led by this general is sitting on the upper floor of Wan County City. If you are capable, come and attack! I want to see if you can directly capture Wancheng like you captured Xiangyang City."
Wang Qi said coldly: "Xu Huanshan, you look like a powerful and powerful person, but you are actually an insidious person. There are three great masters in your city, plus a group of masters from Zixia Mountain, and in addition there are so many soldiers. Wang Qiang¡¯s attack is playing into your own hands.¡±
"Now, I will be stationed near Wan County for the time being. Now that the Chu State is in my hands, Cao Xuan cannot stop the Wei State. In a month or two at most, Cao Xuan will be completely defeated, and our army in Yanzhou will be killed. Come, let the two armies join together, even if you have three great masters, you can't stop our Qi army."
Wang Qidao: "Under such circumstances, why should I be anxious? I am absolutely sure of winning."
Xu Huanshan was overjoyed.
"It's best if you delay. In a month or two, Chu will be in chaos. When the time comes, Wuxi Man marches north and joins the army led by him, which will be enough to attack Wang Qi first and cause Wang Qi to be defeated.
Wang Qi is looking forward to joining the Qi army in Yanzhou, but that is a fool's dream.
Xu Huanshan said with a smile on his face: "Wang Qi and Cao Xuan of Wei State are trying their best to resist. Even if your army wins first, it is impossible to win a complete victory. You will definitely lose this battle. "
Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see. I want to see how Xu Huanshan can defeat me. I have full confidence in our Qi soldiers. In addition, I am waiting for you to attack."
Xu Huanshan said: "I also have confidence in Cao Xuan."
Wang Qi knew what Xu Huanshan was thinking, so he took advantage of the situation and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops.
The army retreated and it became quiet outside the city.
Wei Xi looked at the retreat of the army and frowned slightly, because something about what happened just now made him feel something was wrong. Who is Wang Qi? He has extensive experience in fighting in the north and south.
Will such a person leave in just a few words? Will you place all your hopes on the Qi army?
Wei Xi thought, so he said, "Commander, Wang Qi just retreated. I think it's a little weird."
Xu Huanshan asked: "What's weird?"
Wei sarcastically said: "I always feel something is wrong if he withdraws his troops directly. Wang Qi, it won't be that simple."
Xu Huanshan shook his head and said solemnly: "If it weren't for the Taoist priests in Zixia Mountain, Wang Qi would have attacked the city directly. After all, Wang Qi has two masters at the Grand Master level who can easily break the city."
"The problem is that we now have people from Zixia Mountain. With this force, we can stop the attack of Wang Qi's army and the high-end combat power to forcibly break the city."
"Wang Qi is very clear about this. He cannot win by force and is unwilling to sacrifice his soldiers. What else can he do? He can only wait for the results of Cao Xuan's Yanzhou front line."
"Furthermore, in Yanzhou, Cao Xuan was indeed defeated first, and Qi had the advantage. Under normal circumstances, Cao Xuan would not be able to sustain it for long, and Cao Xuan would definitely be defeated in the end."
"This is a good judgment."
"It's just that at the moment, the time we need is before Cao Xuan is defeated, Wuxi Barbarians will take action and set off waves in the Chu Kingdom, so as to attack Wang Qi from both front and back with us."
"When you set off from Chang'an, didn't you already arrange sentinels to go south first to inform Wuxi Barbarians and Barbarian God Sect in Chu State? Perhaps the news has spread by now."
"Why should we be afraid?"
Xu Huanshan spoke eloquently and seemed very confident, saying: "Now, it seems that we have failed in the battle, but in fact we have the advantage and the first move. As for Wang Qi, he has already fallen into the scheme."
Wei Xi still frowned.
He always felt that the situation was a bit strange. After all, Wang Qi retreated too easily.
Xiong Zhuang smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, I also agree with the commander's analysis. We already have an advantage at the moment. We and Wang Qi each have their own plans, and our time is faster. This is our advantage."
Wei Xi nodded and said no more.
The truth is indeed like this. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)He always felt that the situation was a bit weird, after all, Wang Qi retreated too easily.
