Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 47 Qi Wen’s Excitement

Two days later, Tiger Leaping outside the city.

Da Qi's 200,000-strong army was a mass of darkness, with flags covering the sky and the sky.

Chen Jun was under the west gate of Tiger Leaping City.

Qi Wen, dressed in military uniform, stood majestically in front of the army, looking at Tiger Leaping City in front of him with a look of contempt on his face.

Feng Xinyue and the others followed Qi Wen, looking at the big flag with the character"jiang" flying on Tiger Leaping City with great curiosity.

Ran Lie stood on top of the city and shouted proudly

"Is the Marquis of Dingbian Qi Wen under the city?

Qi Wen said loudly:"It is me, who are you?" Where is Jiangyuan? Could it be that he was so frightened that he did not dare to come out to see anyone, knowing that I was leading an army?"

"I am Ran Lie, General of Dongzhou. You are just a Dingbian Marquis. I can handle it well. Why bother Mr. Jiang to take action?"

"Ran Lie? never heard of that."

Qi Wen snorted coldly:"Go back and tell Jiang Yuan that I will give him a chance. If he knows what's going on, if he surrenders in Kaicheng now and leads the horse and whip for me, I can give him a way to survive."

"Otherwise, when our army enters the city, there will be no chickens or dogs left in Tiger Leaping City."

When Ran Lie heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Are you worthy? I don't think you are qualified enough to lead my horse or whip."

Qi Wen was so angry that a nobody dared to speak arrogantly in front of him. It was a great shame and humiliation.

"The forward battalion listens to orders"

"exist"

"You lead 30,000 people and capture it from the west gate."

"yes"

"Hubao Camp, Iron Spear Camp, Modao Camp"

"exist"

"Each of you will lead 30,000 people, surround the east, south, and north gates and attack the city respectively. I want Tiger Leaping City to bloom in all directions so that not a single mosquito can fly out."

"Got the order."

In an instant, the 30,000 people in the Daqi Pioneer Camp rushed to the west gate like evil wolves with a loud killing sound.

On top of the city tower, Ran Lie gave cold orders

"The generals obeyed the order, rolled stones and carried oil up the city wall, and bowed their archers."

A battle slowly kicked off.

Feng Xinyue couldn't help but wrinkled as she listened to Qi Wen's arrangements.

"Mr. Meng, isn’t Qi Wen’s move a distraction? Wouldn't it be easier if he directly attacked the west city gate with an army of 120,000 men? Meng

Qingping shook his head and said with a smile:"The princess does not often lead troops, so it is reasonable to have such an illusion." The 120,000-strong army that captured the west city gate was indeed more powerful. But we must also consider the size of the city and the display space in front of the city gate."

"Tiger Leaping City is just a small city. The space outside the west city gate is limited. 120,000 people cannot attack together. It can accommodate up to 50,000 people to attack the city together. So it doesn't make much sense for 120,000 people to stay here. Instead, capture other city gates separately. Firstly, it can disperse the defensive strength of Tiger Leaping City. Secondly, it can make the defenders of Tiger Leaping City fearful and timid to fight."

"So that's it. It seems that even though Qi Wen said he was disdainful of Jiang Yuan, he didn't slack off at all in arranging his troops!"

"That's natural. Any general who has been on the battlefield for many years, who is not experienced in hundreds of battles, and who is arrogant and conceited, has long been buried in the loess. Jiang Yuan is in danger this time. With fifty thousand people, he probably won't be able to resist for long."

Feng Xinyue didn't speak anymore, and looked at the raging siege battle ahead. In just half an hour, thousands of people had already died on the spot.

War is always so cruel.

As time goes by, Dingbian Hou Qi Wen's expression slowly became serious, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

"Jiang Yuan's skills are really extraordinary. The 50,000 people he temporarily gathered together were able to be so brave and fearless of death. How did he do it?"

Qi Wen clearly saw that the defenders on Tiger Leaping City were all extremely brave. Some took the initiative to block the Qi soldiers who were climbing up with their bodies, and some even jumped off the city wall with Qi soldiers in their arms, and died together.

In this way Even the soldiers under his command are not as brave as him.

Suddenly, a soldier flew up to report

"I'm reporting to you Lord, the east city gate has been breached by me."

"good……"

Qi Wen burst out laughing. In less than an hour, the city gate was breached. Jianghu people are Jianghu people, and the battlefield is not a place for them to fight bravely.

"What were the casualties?"

"Our army lost thirteen thousand men."

At this moment, two flying horses roared over

"Report that the North City Gate has been breached and our army has lost 8,000 people."

"Report that the south gate has been breached and our army has lost 10,000 people."

In a short period of time, all three gates of Tiger Leaping City were breached, exceeding Qi Wen's expectations. It seems that he overestimated this river source. It would take

50,000 people to defend the attack for an hour.

"Send an order to the three siege armies from the southeast, north and south to immediately rush into Tiger Leaping City. As soon as possible, they should cooperate with the inside and outside to open the west gate and surround and suppress all the defenders of Tiger Leaping City. Be sure not to let anyone escape."

"Got the order"

"Vice General Sun"

"The end will be in"

"I will lead you to lead ten thousand people to cut off the road between Hutiao City and Dongzhou City. I will make it impossible for Jiang Yuan to escape."

"yes. Qi

Wen turned to look at Feng Xinyue and said excitedly:"Princess, please allow me to capture Jiang Yuan and present it to the princess. Let's end this bet!" drive……"

Meng Qingping frowned deeply as he looked at Qi Wen's back as he rode away.

"Something is wrong.

Feng Xinyue asked in surprise:"What's wrong?""

"The Art of War says that five times as many troops can attack a city. Jiang Yuan had 50,000 men, and the Marquis of Qi sent out 120,000 men to attack the city. They could resist for less than an hour. This was too fast and was not in line with common sense."

Feng Xinyue sighed softly:"It is indeed too fast, but Mr. Meng overlooked one point. Jiang Yuan is not a member of the army, and his 50,000 people are not a well-trained army, but civilians recruited temporarily."

"Whether it is the combat effectiveness of the soldiers or the ability of the commander to arrange troops, there is no comparison. Failure is also a reasonable thing."

Meng Qingping took a deep breath.

"What the princess said makes sense, maybe I am worrying too much!"

In Tiger Leaping City, in a towering attic.

Jiang Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the large number of Qi troops pouring into the west gate that was finally breached, with a calm expression on his face.

"Report to Mr. Jiang that the Qi army has divided into four gates to attack Tiger Leaping City."

"How many Qi troops have come in now?"

"With about 100,000 troops, our army is relying on favorable terrain to fight back."

Jiang Yuan hummed softly:"Send the order to Ran Lie, retreat into the center of the city and act as planned."

"yes."

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the city

"Where is Jiangyuan? Why don't you come out and die?"

Jiang Yuan looked up and saw Dingbian Hou Qiwen riding a tall horse, holding a Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and laughed wildly.

"Dingbianhou, Jiang is here. If you want to take Jiang's head, it depends on whether you are capable enough."

Qi Wen turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Jiang Yuan standing on the top of the towering attic, looking at him with his hands behind his back.

"Ha... I thought you were scared to death and ran away with your tail between your legs. I didn't expect you to still stay in the city. I respect you as a man."

Qi Wen soared into the air, spanning dozens of feet with just a few strokes of strength, and his figure appeared on the roof directly opposite Jiang Yuan.
