More than fifty soldiers who had climbed the dead first had no idea, and cut more than ten guards into meat paste in a few strokes.

Gongsun Sui pulled out the rocket prepared in advance and put it on the bowstring of the longbow. The first-dragon Death Soldier holding a torch next to him quickly stepped forward and lit the rocket.

Gongsun suddenly raised the longbow, pulled the bowstring hard, and then suddenly let go of the bowstring.

In an instant, the burning rocket had already swept into the air with a sharp roar, and then drew a dazzling trajectory on the dark night sky, which was clearly visible for several miles away!

The next moment, a faint sound of killing sounded outside the Yong Gate of Linzi.

On the left and right sides of Yongmen, the guards of Guangmen were immediately alarmed. When the two leading teams rushed to the city and looked out, they saw that the light of fire had already lit up like ghosts from the wilderness in the west. In the endless light of torches, tens of thousands of armored soldiers were rushing towards the Yongmen like a tide.

"Enemy attack!" The two team leaders immediately shouted shrillly, "Blow the trumpet quickly! Blow the trumpet to warn..."

In an instant, the low and desolate horn sounded soared into the sky, shattering the quiet night sky. Linzi City, which was originally immersed in silence, suddenly started to move.

At dawn, when Xiang Zhuang entered the city from Yongmen surrounded by Wei Liao and Wu She, the entire city was completely controlled by the Chu army.

After being controlled, most of the people in the city fled into the small city. The food, goods, iron tools, etc. in the city were all intercepted. However, the remaining soldiers of the Qi army retreated into the small city and were still resisting stubbornly.

Xiang Zhuang and his party barely walked to the Lumen Gate in the small town. Gongsun Sui had already brought more than a hundred death soldiers to meet him. After a night of fighting, Gongsun Sui was already bleeding heavily, and there were eye-catching scars on his face, his skin was blooming, which was very scary, but he was in good spirits and probably wasn't seriously injured.

"General, military advisor!" Gongsun then rushed to Xiangzhuang, and Wei Liao and the other two bowed each other, and said with shame, "The remnants of Qi army retreated to the small city and defended the city to the death. The last general took the lead in the camp to attack from Lumen. After attacking twice, they failed. Instead, they lost more than a hundred brothers! The last general is incompetent, please punish the general!"

I heard that more than 100 people had lost their money to the death, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but feel a little painful.

This is the most elite first-time death warrior. If you lose too much, it will be difficult to make up for it!

Although it is inevitable that people will die when fighting, Xiang Zhuang joined the army for two lifetimes and his heart has been trained to be stronger than iron. But the problem is that the Chu army now has only more than 5,000 troops, which really cannot withstand too much losses!

"Forget it, don't attack again!" Xiang Zhuang waved his hand, turned back to Huan Chu, and Ji Bu shouted, "You two, immediately lead the troops outside the city to collect firewood, the more the better."

"No!" Huan Chu, Ji Bu agreed with the promise and took the order.

Wu She changed his face slightly and asked in a low voice: "General, are you going to burn Linzi City?"

Xiang Zhuang turned around and glanced at the closed city gate, and said with a grim voice: "If Linzi is not burned, how could Han Xin feel the pain? If Han Xin does not let Han Xin feel pain, how could he bring his army back to Qidi?"

"But, General..." Wu She said with great regret, "There are so many shops, markets, so many food, cloth, silk, and so many livestock and meat in the city. What a pity if the fire is burned?"

"Mr. Wushe, you can't chew too much." Wei Liao smiled slightly and advised Wushe, "Although Linzi is good and Qi is rich, it is not a place to stay for a long time. We cannot take so much food, cloth, silk, and this great city. Since we can't take it away, why not burn it? Could it be that we have to return it to Han Xin?

Wu She pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Military advisor, why can't we repeat the same trick and let the Wei land happen again in Qi land?" After saying this, Wu She pointed to the shops and warehouses not far away and said, "Instead of burning these hard-earned goods, it is better to distribute them to the people in Qi land in exchange for the hearts of the people!"

"Sir, I thought it was too simple." Wei Liao sighed and said, "Qi Di is not Liang Di."

Xiang Zhuang nodded silently. Qi land was indeed not Liang land. Since Peng Yue became the prime minister of Wei, he has arranged his old subordinates to serve as officials in various counties and counties. However, most of these old subordinates were from the army and were vulgar and had a young literary career. After he took office as a county, he began to impose excessive taxes and acted misfortune, causing the entire Wei land to be in vain.

The reason why there are so many hungry people in Wei is that Chu and Han attacked Wei for years, but the rebellion of the old relatives and confidants of Peng Yue is also an extremely important reason!

However, this is not the case at all.

Han Xin is definitely an unprecedented genius in military affairs, but he is an idiot in politics!

The specific manifestation is that Han Xin has no precaution against Liu Bang. Not only are Guan Ying and Fu Kuan and other generals under his command all Liu Bang's old generals, and even important officials such as Cao Shen and Wang Ling, they are also Liu Bang's confidants. Moreover, Han Xin trusts Guan Ying, Fu Kuan, Cao Shen, Wang Ling and others very much, and they all have important responsibilities!

However, Cao Shen and Wang Ling really did not disappoint Han Xin's trust.

At least under the rule of Cao Shen and Wang Ling, Qi State can be said to be prosperous and peaceful, and the government is harmonious.

Therefore, if the Chu army wanted to move the tricks he played in Wei to Qi and then come back, it was simply a delusion.

Thinking of this, Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Yu Ziqi, "General Ziqi brought the more than 500 northern sable horses he stolen yesterday into the city, and the original more than 500 mules and horses were put on a carriage and moved outside the city. How much food, cloth, water, wine, and meat can be filled? However, useless things, such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and satin, are not allowed to be taken!"

"No!" Yu Ziqi agreed with the promise and took the order.

In the small town of Linzi, Wang Ling was wearing armor and holding a long sword in his hand, and was patrolling the city defense surrounded by more than a hundred armored soldiers.

As the prime minister of Qi and the governor of Linzi County, Wang Ling shouldered the important task of guarding Qi for Han Xin. However, since the news of Xiang Yu's defeat at Gaixia came, Wang Ling was a little careless. He thought that the world would be pacified after Xiang Yu's death, but he did not expect that something happened suddenly last night, and a "Han army" actually attacked Linzi?!

I thought the war in Qi had subsided, but who would have thought that it would be attacked by the Han army?

However, Wang Ling was originally the confidant of the King of Han, so he never believed that the Han army would be the one who invaded Linzi!

Although this army was wearing the same style of battle robe and armor as the Han army, Wang Ling knew very well that this was definitely not the Han army, because the Han army did not have to attack Qi! With the King of Qi's trust in the King of Han, if the King of Han really wanted to take over Qi, he just needed to change the King of Qi to another place, so why should he send troops to attack?

This "Han Army" could not be the remnant of Xiang Tuo's Chu army in Lu State!

The reason is very simple. There are only more than 3,000 remnants of Xiang Tuo of Lu State. Moreover, his morale is dispersed and his morale is low. It is impossible for him to attack Linzi. However, the "Han army" attacking Linzi had a total of 10,000 people, and it was an elite with high morale and iron-like fighting spirit. This is the only elite of war in Wang Ling's life!

Not far away, more than a dozen soldiers were gathering together to denounce the "Han Army" outside the city.

"Old Liu Bang is really not a guy. He actually secretly sent troops to attack Linzi while the king was not there!"

"The king is so stupid. Old Liu Bang is such a thing. He actually brought the army to help him fight Xiang Yu."

"I heard that Liu Bang was originally a rogue in the market, what could he not do?"

"Shh, you whisper, don't be heard by the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is Liu Bang's old man. If he wants him to hear you talking bad things about Liu Bang, you will be dead..."

Before he finished speaking, the soldier's eyes were straight and he was completely stunned.

The other dozen soldiers suddenly felt something was wrong. When they looked back, they saw that the Prime Minister had appeared behind them at some point. In an instant, the dozen soldiers were so scared that they were no one on their faces.

"Come here!" Wang Ling groaned and shouted, "Drag these jiān who spread rumors and chopped them down!"

"No!" More than a hundred personal soldiers behind Wang Ling agreed to the promise and immediately rushed forward to push the dozen soldiers to the ground. A cold light flashed by, and more than a dozen heads had already rolled to the top of the city.

Seeing this bloody scene, all the soldiers of Qi nearby were shocked.

Wang Ling stepped forward and picked up a ferocious head, looked around and shouted, "I heard carefully. There is no Han army outside at all, but Qiao Zhuang Cheng's remnants of the Chu army! If anyone dares to spread rumors, this will be the end!" Wang Ling was not sure if it was the Chu army outside, but now, he can only pour dirty water on the Chu army.

As soon as Wang Ling finished speaking, the dozen or so patrols guarding the enemy's building suddenly started to move.

Soon a small school hurried down the enemy stairs and bowed to Wang Ling to report: "The Prime Minister, the big thing is wrong. The bandits transported a large amount of firewood from outside the city and were piled up everywhere. They, they want to burn Linzi!"

"Ah?!" Wang Ling was shocked when he heard this and immediately rushed to the enemy tower as quickly as possible.

Standing on the enemy's building and looking down, Wang Ling saw thousands of bandits transporting trucks of dry firewood and dry grass into the city, and piled up along several main streets to the eaves of shops, warehouses, workshops and private houses. Judging from this situation, the bandits really planned to burn Linzi!

Wang Ling's impatience is really extraordinary. What's wrong with letting the bandits burn Linzi?

However, the reality is extremely cruel, because Wang Ling could not stop the bandits from burning Linzi.

After walking back and forth with a few anxious expressions, Wang Ling quickly summoned more than a dozen confidants to the front. At this point, he could only ask King Qi for help. Now the Qi garrison is empty. If the Qi army cannot return to the rescue in time, he is afraid that the entire Qi 70 cities will be turned into coke. Such a great responsibility is not something that King Ling can bear.
