Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

At the same time, Wang Shifan's troops were also quietly approaching Qizhou in the night. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and an ominous atmosphere filled the air. Wang Shifan frowned, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.

"General, there seems to be movement ahead." A scout reported hurriedly.

Wang Shifan pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "The whole army is on guard and move forward carefully."

The troops moved forward slowly, and suddenly, a strange fog appeared in front of them, and there seemed to be a shadow shaking in the fog. The soldiers clenched their weapons nervously, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

"General, what is this?" A soldier asked in a trembling voice.

Wang Shifan stared at the fog, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "No matter what it is, we must move forward. For the emperor and the country, we can't retreat!"

With his words, the morale of the soldiers was ignited again. They followed Wang Shifan and bravely rushed into the strange fog.

In the mist, the shadows became clearer and clearer, as if they were a group of ghostly soldiers, their faces blurred, their eyes flashing green light. Wang Shifan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his heart horrified, but more determined.

"No matter what you are, you can't block our way!" Wang Shifan shouted, swinging his sword towards the ghost soldiers.

The battle was about to start, the sword light and the ghost shadows intertwined, and the air was full of tension and terror. Wang Shifan's troops fought fiercely with these unidentified creatures, and every swing of the sword was accompanied by the sound of wind and metal collision.

In this extraordinary battle, Wang Shifan and his soldiers showed amazing courage and determination. They were not only for the siege, but also for the faith and justice in their hearts.

As the battle continued, the ghost soldiers were gradually repelled, and the mist began to dissipate. Wang Shifan stood on the battlefield and looked around. Although the soldiers' faces were tired, they were more joyful in victory.

"Keep going, Qizhou is just ahead!" Wang Shifan's voice echoed in the night sky, and the soldiers responded in unison, with high morale.

In Zhu Wen's military tent, the candlelight flickered, reflecting serious faces. Zhu Wen sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, his eyes like knives. His voice was low and penetrating: "Wang Shifan divided his troops into two routes, we must respond quickly."

His nephew Zhu Yongning stood aside, with a trace of unruly on his young face: "Uncle, Qizhou is left to me, I will definitely be able to stop Wang Shifan."

Zhu Wen nodded and turned his eyes to another general, Si Ke: "Si Ke, you are responsible for attacking Yanzhou, and you must quickly deal with Liu Xun."

Si Ke responded in a deep voice: "Yes, General."

As the order was issued, Zhu Wen's army moved quickly. Zhu Yongning led his troops to Qizhou overnight, while Si Ke led another army to Yanzhou.

In the night, Zhu Yongning's troops shuttled through the forest trails like ghosts, their goal was Qizhou City. Zhu Yongning rode on his horse, his eyes sharp, his heart full of desire for victory.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in front, and Zhu Yongning raised his hand to signal the troops to stop. He listened carefully, and the sound seemed to come from the woods not far away.

"General, there seems to be an ambush ahead." A scout reported in a low voice.

Zhu Yongning sneered: "Ambush? I want to see who dares to block my way."

He waved his hand to signal the troops to move forward, and he led the way into the woods. In the woods, there was silence, only the sound of wind blowing through the treetops. Zhu Yongning's troops moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and countless ghostly figures appeared in the woods.

The soldiers retreated in fear, but Zhu Yongning was not afraid. He drew the long sword at his waist and shouted loudly: "Whether you are human or ghost, get out of here!"

The ghosts seemed to be frightened by his momentum and retreated one after another. Zhu Yongning took the opportunity to lead the troops out of the woods and headed straight for Qizhou City.

At the same time, Si Ke's troops also encountered Liu Xun's stubborn resistance. Under the city of Yanzhou, the two armies were fighting fiercely, with arrows raining like locusts and swords flashing and shadows interlaced. Si Ke led the way, waving a big knife and bravely rushed towards the enemy.

"Kill!" Si Ke roared, and chopped down an enemy soldier with one knife. His troops were in high spirits and rushed forward one after another.

The battle lasted for several hours. In the end, Si Ke's troops successfully broke through the gate of Yanzhou with their tenacious will and excellent tactics.

In Qizhou, Zhu Yongning also led his troops to fight fiercely with Wang Shifan's army. The two armies fought a tug-of-war outside the city. Zhu Yongning's bravery and Wang Shifan's wisdom made the battle extremely difficult.

As time went on, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, but the intensity of the battle did not diminish at all. Zhu Yongning and Wang Shifan met on the battlefield, and both of them looked determined.

"Wang Shifan, do you think you can change anything?" Zhu Yongning sneered.

Wang Shifan sneered back: "Zhu Yongning, you are just a pawn of Zhu Wen, do you think you can stop me?"

The two swords collided with each other, sparks flew. The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting for their respective beliefs.

Zhu Yongning's sword shone coldly in the sun, and his eyes were firm and cold. On the battlefield outside Qizhou City, he successfully repelled Wang Shifan's army, and now he was leading his troops to pursue Qingzhou City.

"General, Wang Shifan's remnants have retreated into Qingzhou City. Should we attack the city immediately?" A deputy general asked anxiously.

Zhu Yongning narrowed his eyes and looked at the ancient city. The defenders on the city wall were obviously ready. He pondered for a moment, then shook his head slowly: "No, let's just surround but not attack. Wang Shifan is already exhausted, we have to let him walk out of the city by himself."

The deputy general nodded in response, and then conveyed the order. Zhu Yongning's troops began to set up a tight encirclement outside Qingzhou City.

As night fell, Qingzhou City was dead silent. Wang Shifan stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy outside the city, his heart full of anxiety. His deputy general stepped forward and whisperedSaid: "General, we don't have much food and grass. If Zhu Yongning besieges for a long time, we may not be able to hold on."

Wang Shifan clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes: "We can't sit and wait for death, we must find a way to break through."

Just then, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the city. Wang Shifan and the deputy general looked at the source of the sound at the same time, and saw a thick fog slowly rising, and something seemed to be moving in the fog.

"General, what is that?" The deputy general's voice was trembling.

Wang Shifan frowned, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart: "No matter what it is, we can't take it lightly. Strengthen the city defense and prepare for any possible attack."

Zhu Yongning outside the city also noticed this sudden change. He rode on his horse, staring at the thick fog, and was also confused.

"General, should we send troops to check?" A scout asked.

Zhu Yongning pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Send a small team to investigate, be careful."

The reconnaissance team set off quickly and headed into the thick fog. Soon, screams came from the thick fog, followed by a dead silence. Zhu Yongning frowned, and a chill rose in his heart.

"General, what should we do?" The deputy general asked nervously.
