empire wars

Chapter 68
"Practice in situ and attack the city tomorrow."

Bai Qi gave the order, and tens of thousands of killing gods gathered from all over Shangbi City, with a strong murderous aura, they practiced killing gods in several surrounding mansions.

And although the killing god phantom in the sky has dissipated, the blood cloud containing murderous aura has become thicker, and along with the aura of heaven and earth, it keeps rushing downward.

Qin You's army captured the ancient Liang City, Tianchang City.

Bai Qi's army captured Xiyong City and Shangbi City.

The plan went very smoothly, and there were almost no obstacles encountered. As for the further north, it was Wuwei City.

Different from other cities, Wuwei City is not only a county seat, but also has a very important geographical and political location. It is also the base camp of the Northern Qiang people in Wuwei County. The Northern Qiang people attach great importance to this city.

There are at least 2 defenders in the city, [-] are Northern Qiang cavalry, and [-] are the Han army.

If most of them had not been transferred away by Ma Feiteng, there would be at least 3 Northern Qiang elites in Wuwei City.

The height of the city wall of Wuwei County is not much lower than that of Mingwu City. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The defensive force is not weak. It is completely different from the city captured during the day.

It was already night, no matter how lax the defense was, once the curfew time came, Wuwei City would be closed and patrolling soldiers would be added to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

Moreover, after a whole day, even if the Northern Qiang people did not receive the information that the Northern Qiang army was defeated in Mingwu City, they would still receive the news that the four counties were captured, and perhaps soon there would be reinforcements to support Mingwu City. Wucheng.

As the siege side, the army soldiers must outnumber the defenders, and it takes a huge price to successfully capture a well-defended city.

Based on Bai Qi's experience, he had killed Northern Qiang cavalry several times in the city, and he didn't want to make the same mistake.

No matter how strong the Killing God Army is, if it is ambushed, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Even if it recovers Wuwei County, it will not be worth the loss.

As for recuperation, it also does not exist. The whole day of killing and hunting has gathered a lot of murderous aura among the soldiers of the Killing God Army, which is a good time to practice.

In the state of cultivation, not only the realm of strength has been rapidly broken through, but also the speed of recovery of energy and spirit is extremely fast, which is much faster than sleeping and resting. Time cannot be wasted, not to mention that there will be a big battle tomorrow.

Under Bai Qi's personal mobilization, the soldiers continued to break through the realm, and their strength was just like Bai Qi's, advancing by leaps and bounds.

In the place where the God-killing army gathered, blood clouds floated in the sky. Fortunately, it was dark at night, otherwise if people saw it, they would definitely frighten the common people in the city.

These blood clouds are all murderous aura, which has already materialized. It can be seen how many people have been killed by the killing god army in one day to accumulate so much murderous aura.

"For the time being, we haven't found out who is the leader of the Northern Qiang Army in Wuwei County. However, the [-] Han soldiers are under Qian Hanchong's control."

As night fell, the army led by Qin Yuan set up camp on a high mountain in a canyon.

In the tent, Qin Yuan was lying on the grand master's chair with half-closed eyes, while Zhuge Mo was holding a stack of information and talking about the key points.

"News from General Qin You, the ancient Liangcheng, Tianchang City has been successfully captured, and will arrive at the foot of Wuwei City tomorrow."

"General Bai Qi also captured Xiyong City and Shangbi City. Tomorrow, he will join General Qin You and march towards Wuwei City."

Zhuge silently muttered intelligence news.

"Qian Hanchong? This name is a bit familiar."

Qin Yuan was puzzled.

"The Qian family is one of the two famous families in Wuwei City. Qian Hanchong is the head of the contemporary Qian family. Now he is a puppet elected by the Northern Qiang people to serve as the prefect of Wuwei."

Zhuge Mo said, secretly watching Qin Yuan's expression.

Qin Yuan was appointed as the prefect of Wuwei by the imperial court, while Qian Hanchong was appointed by the Northern Qiang people. As the saying goes, one county cannot have two lords.

"Oh, I seem to have a little impression."

Qin Yuan nodded slightly, remembering that he had met once before, on the surface he came to be very friendly, but he didn't expect this guy to secretly collude with the Northern Qiang people.

There are two famous families in Wuwei County, and the Qian family is one of them. The sphere of influence mainly lies in politics and economy.

Although the Qian family is a famous family, they are not very powerful in the army of Wuwei County, and they are suppressed by another famous family.

Just like the Shen family in Wucheng of the Ming Dynasty in the past, they mainly controlled the political power of Wuwei County, but their military power was weak.

I'm afraid it's also for this reason that it is necessary to rely on external forces to break the stability of Wuwei City, and the Qian family has indeed achieved this, becoming the most prominent Ying family besides the Northern Qiang people.

After Qian Hanchong took refuge in the Northern Qiang people, he not only became the prefect of Wuwei, but also controlled the military power of tens of thousands of people. It can be said that he has the military power in one hand.

It was the Qian family's rebellion, combined with the Northern Qiang people's secret opening of the city gate, that caused Wuwei County to fall so quickly.

Moreover, Qian Hanchong's approach was very vicious. After the city was breached by the Northern Qiang people, the prefect who kept bewitching his stubborn thinking could not give up the city and had to drive the Northern Qiang people out of the city.

What he did seemed to be loyal, but in fact he was preparing to wipe out all the forces in the city.

It was this guy, together with the ignorant prefect, who made everyone stay in the city to resist the Northern Qiang cavalry. It was at that time that his father was named to stay in the city and died in the chaos.

"Then Qian Yusheng is his son, he is still in our hands."

Qin Yuan's eyes lit up. This time, it's time to pay for the blood debt.

Qian Yusheng was the one who secretly colluded with Beiqiang Xizuo in Mingwu City to rebel.

Of course, all their plans are destined to fail.

The two most important people in their plan, Shi Chan and Min Qi, had already reported to Qin Yuan the news of their collusion with the forces in the city.

These two people are considered to be interesting, they made up for their mistakes, and took this opportunity to successfully withdraw from the army establishment.

"Yes, the person has been sent to General Qin You to see if there is any use value."

Zhuge Mo said that it was handed over to Qin You, not Bai Qi, because he was worried that he would be beheaded by Bai Qi.

"Four cities a day, I hope to recover the entire Wuwei County within seven days."

Qin Yuan's conversation remained unchanged, and he stopped talking about the Qian family.

The Northern Qiang people don't look down on him now, let alone a puppet supported by the Northern Qiang people.

"The lord is a hero, and the little Wuwei County is bound to win."

Zhuge Mo smiled and patted the rainbow fart.

"Let's get the news out."

Qin Yuan glanced at him.

"Yes, it is estimated that in the evening, Ma Feiteng will receive the news that Ma Qingbiao's entire army has been wiped out. If there is no accident, they will definitely send reinforcements to support Wuwei City. They will definitely pass by here. The army has already ambushed. Once they appear, they will never return."

Zhuge Mo thought for a while, and then said, "The army led by General Qin Yi should have arrived at the destination by now."

Qin Yuan stood up and walked out of the tent. It was mid-October at this time, and the weather began to turn cold, and the night temperature dropped several degrees.

The autumn wind came and blew Qin Yuan's hair.The camp of the army is located in a canyon, which is the famous Falling Peak Valley.

On the left and right sides are lofty mountains, with a wide avenue in the middle, enough for ten horses to drive side by side.

Falling Peak Valley is an important strategic location, easy to defend but difficult to attack, at the junction of Jincheng County and Wuwei County.

If Jincheng County has the northern Qiang to return aid, this is one of the two main roads that must be passed.

Qin Yuan led [-] Killing God Army, [-] Qilin Army, [-] White Tiger Army, and [-] Xuanwu Army, stationed here.

A total of 2 troops are stationed in Zhuifeng Valley, even if there are thousands of troops, it is difficult to break through.

Bai Qi and Qin You divided their forces to attack the city, and the efficiency was extremely fast, taking down four cities in one day.

Qin Yuan and Qin Yi also divided their forces to garrison dangerous places. Qin Yuan was stationed in Zhuifeng Valley, while Qin Yi was stationed in the Qiling Mountains, which was located to the west of Wuwei County and was also one of the important routes from Jincheng County to Wuwei County.

Qin Yi led the Qinglong Legion and the Qilin Legion, stationed in the Qiling Mountains. No matter which direction Ma Feiteng returned to help, he would definitely pass through the Chuanfeng Valley or the Qiling Mountains.

Ren Ma Feiteng was very thoughtful, and it was impossible to predict that Qin Yuan's army not only took back the cities of Wuwei County, threatened Wuwei City, but also sent troops to garrison the two important passages.

If they return to aid, it will be difficult for the reinforcements not to be ambushed, unless Ma Feiteng has not received the news, or has simply given up on Wuwei County, and simply has no idea of ​​sending troops to support.
