use the city as a bet

The group set off in a mighty and orderly manner.

All the people in the city came, standing on both sides of the road, seeing them off with tears in their eyes.

The people also knew that it would be really difficult to fight against 550,000 people with 40,000 people, half of whom were new soldiers.

Just now, many people had a high fever and were confused!

The combat effectiveness was directly reduced by half!

But there was no way. If they did not take the initiative to look for opportunities, Zhenguan could only passively wait for death and be captured by the Three Kingdoms.

They had encountered dozens of battles during the nearly one year of siege by the barbarian army.

No matter how great the losses were, they would never have thought that Zhenguan would be breached. Because they have the most powerful general Zhan Chengyin.

Countless people brought their families, wives, sons and daughters, and shed tears to see the general off.

I hope the general can return triumphantly.

Zhan Chengyin and the soldiers rode to the secret passage and were stopped by Wei Guang and his three brothers.

Wei Guang was brought by Uncle Li.

Uncle Li, the housekeeper, knew that this battle was dangerous, and he looked at the general with tears in his eyes.

He was over sixty years old, with a head full of white hair, and was very old. He said only one thing after a thousand words, "You must return safely!"

Zhan Chengyin nodded, looked at Wei Guang and ordered, "Wei Guang, take good care of Uncle Li."

"It should be, General, do you have time to listen to me!"

Zhan Chengyin hesitated.

Wei Guang whispered in his ear, "I know another way, which does not lead to the rear of Chuqi Man, but a shortcut to the Mobei Royal Court."

"Why don't we take another road and destroy the Mobei old nest first?"

"Two thousand people killing 550,000 people is indeed very brave, but if we destroy the Mobei Royal Court old nest first, and then run back to kill people, wouldn't it be more brave!"

Zhan Chengyin looked down at Wei Guang with a scrutinizing look. Back then, he was the leader of the gangsters on the streets of Zhenguan. He was smart, loyal, and had a poor family background, but he was able to live a prosperous life.

He also gathered a group of good brothers and was reasonable in the face of right and wrong.

If Zhao Youcai hadn't dealt him a fatal blow, perhaps he would be doing better today.

Wei Guang scratched his head and said, "Actually, I am a barbarian. I was abandoned by my parents and could only make ends meet in the town."

"Before, the shop owners on the street were kind enough to give me a meal. I survived by eating at hundreds of houses."

"If the general can trust me, I know the new residence of the Mobei Royal Court."

Xiao Liuzi and the little mute behind him nodded repeatedly.

Their boss is really smart.

Which family hides money under the cellar? Which family dug a secret passage to bypass the city wall and transport goods in from the outside to avoid government taxes.

Even the stainless steel bowls placed in the general's mansion.

The general asked him to exchange ceramic bowls with the people.

He sold them to rich merchants at high prices, with a set of marketing methods. He said that they could be melted into steel utensils, and they were beautifully named as they would not break for a hundred years.

The worthless porcelain, porcelain plates, porcelain bowls of the rich merchants... would break if they were hit.

He sold stainless steel at a high price and bought porcelain at a low price.

Not only did he make money, but he also received porcelain. He was a good businessman.

Zhan Chengyin's eyes were like torches, and with the unique pressure of a soldier, he asked him: "Do you know the location of the new Mobei royal court?"

Wei Guang smiled and nodded, not afraid of Zhan Chengyin's burning eyes, "Yes!"

"Do you know that if you deceive this general and lead the marching route astray, you will be beaten to death with a military stick."

"I know the general, if the route is wrong, you can order me to be beaten to death!"

Zhan Chengyin nodded and whispered something to Bian Ziping who came to see him off.

Bian Ziping rode away quickly.

When they entered the secret passage, Zhan Chengyin ordered people to put on bulletproof vests for Wei Guang, Sun Yaba, and Xiao Liuzi, and arranged horses.

Xiao Yaba and Xiao Liuzi were small and short, so they rode on the same horse.

After a while, Bian Ziping asked people to bring in supplies.

Each person was distributed with two bottles of 2-liter mineral water, two boxes of self-heating rice, two bottles of eight-treasure porridge, and a box of compressed biscuits.

One of every five people brought a five-liter barrel of mineral water and two sacks of fine fodder.

The soldiers also brought their own gourds to hold water, after all, water resources are precious and extremely scarce now!

After everyone was equipped, they set off towards the secret passage...

After the three-party talks, the troops were assembled immediately and a large-scale siege was launched!

But~

all the soldiers were in place, even the siege vehicles were pulled over, ready to attack the city!

On the city wall, the Qi army soldiers were all assigned to Qinnu, and when they were drawing their bows to shoot arrows...

at the critical moment~

The three leaders received the secret report from the informant in Zhenguan City at the same time.

There are three very important contents in the secret report.

1 Zhan Chengyin is not dead.

2 Zhan Chengyin led a death squad of 2,000 people, ready to go out of the city, wanting to hit them from the side.

3 The equipment that the Zhan family army has been waiting for has arrived!

Zhan Chengyin clearly had a high fever, why didn't he die?

How dare he lead 2,000 soldiers to attack 550,000 troops from the side?

Is he crazy?

Or are the 550,000 people, in his eyes, weak and vulnerable ants that can be killed at will?

Seeing the third one, Ling Xiaofeng and Qi Xuanheng's faces changed drastically.

Because, last time, it was because of their arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.

Then they were severely hit by Zhan Chengyin and lost a full 100,000 people.

And now, his new equipment has arrived, which means that not only the Qin Numo Dao, but even the explosives are ready.

The explosives still scare Qi Xuanheng in his heart.

Did he really attack Zhenguan for the city?

No~

He wanted the secret of Zhan Chengyin's endless water and food.

He wanted to know, who is the god that Zhan Chengyin and his subordinates are talking about?

How did he provide Zhan Chengyin with food and water.

To put it bluntly, he attacked Zhan Chengyin purely for supplies.

Zhenguan doesn't matter!

But Zhan Chengyin must be taken down.

When Qi Xuanheng received this secret report, he immediately wanted to give up attacking Zhenguan and turn to deal with Zhan Chengyin.

It would be best if he could be captured alive.

If the source of supplies is found out, the national strength of the entire Qi State will increase by dozens of times. Will it still be inferior to the State of Chu? Coincidentally, Ling Xiaofeng also wanted to withdraw his troops.

He was far less interested in Zhenguan than Zhan Chengyin.

If he could get tens of millions of supplies, who would care about the three melons and two dates in Zhenguan City.

His primary target was Zhan Chengyin.

Mobei King Russell pinched his chin beard with his fingers and sneered gloomily.

"Zhan Chengyin is fine, and he dared to go out of the city alone. Two thousand people came to attack more than 500,000 people. Is he too rampant, or is it because I, the King of Mobei, am too weak!"

Russell knew that there were equipment in Zhenguan City, and he also knew that Qi Xuanheng and Ling Xiaofeng suffered a great loss in equipment.

So that they suffered heavy losses when they attacked Zhenguan for the first time.

But, after all, he had never seen explosives with his own eyes.

Without witnessing the range of Qin Nu's shooting, and without seeing with his own eyes that Tang Mo Dao is a sharp weapon for chopping barbarians and killing horses.

He looked down on Zhan Chengyin with his hawk-like eyes.

"Since Zhan Chengyin is willing to go out of the city to die, then I will help him."

"The siege plan will be shelved for the time being, and Zhan Chengyin will be killed first."

Then, he turned to the barbarian soldiers behind him and said loudly: "Whoever kills Zhan Chengyin will be rewarded with one thousand cows, two thousand sheep, and five hundred horses..."

With such a generous reward, he can be promoted to a great noble in the barbarian tribe.

The barbarian soldiers shouted frantically, "Kill..."

"Kill him, chop off his head!"

"Ah huh..."

Qi Xuanheng smiled and waved his fan, saying lightly: "King of Mobei, 550,000 people are fighting against 2,000 people. It's too easy to just chop off the head. Let's make a bet."

"Whoever can capture Zhan Chengyin alive wins, and the loser will give the other party a city. What do you think?"

"Use the city as a bet? Hahaha, why don't you ask me?" Ling Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Qi Xuanheng shook his head, "I'm not talking nonsense, General Ling, you can't be the master of the Great Chu State. Without the control of the city, your words don't count!"
