Chapter 1150

~7 min read 1,306 words

Just kidding, who would dare to ambush him?

He was the famous General Li Xin!

He thought this in his heart, but Li Xin still looked around after entering, and only felt at ease after discovering that it couldn't possibly be the enemy's scheme.

Fire attack, there were no flammable materials here. Water attack, once the city gate was opened, it wouldn't be flooded.

As for enemy attacks or something, it was even more impossible. They were in the city.

If someone really attacked, they only needed to close the city gate, and they would become a city defense battle.

You have to know that in this kind of terrain, defending a city is much easier than attacking a city.

At worst, they could also charge out.

However, what Li Xin didn't know was that Qin Mu was above the North 29 City, in a position that even someone with the best eyesight couldn't see anything wrong.

And Qin Mu was hiding in that forest, holding a telescope and watching Li Xin's every move from afar.

Even Li Xin's eyes and nose could be seen clearly.

And standing beside Qin Mu was Yu Ji. Yu Ji frowned and looked at Qin Mu with dissatisfaction.

She felt that Qin Mu just didn't trust her, which was why he made everyone in the city she guarded retreat.

He didn't even let her guard the city. Twenty thousand people, why couldn't they beat the other side's seventy thousand?

"Ji'er, are you still angry with me?"

"Hmph!" Yu Ji turned her head away, a proud huff, almost making Qin Mu blush.

Looking at the cute girl in front of him, Qin Mu handed the telescope in his hand over.

"Take it and look, don't be angry anymore."

Yu Ji grabbed the telescope, studied it in her palm for a long time, and only then placed it in front of her eyes.

Looking at Yu Ji's awkward appearance, Qin Mu leaned over and taught Yu Ji hand-in-hand.

"Look like this, put your hand here, right, right, right."

"Wow, so magical, things have become bigger, no, they have become closer!"

"Isn't that the Beicheng? So clear!"

At this time, Yu Ji's brows furrowed.

"Who is this walking at the very front? Why is he walking so arrogantly, and looking so stupid." Walking arrogantly, Qin Mu knew it was Li Xin as soon as he heard it. Only he would walk at the very front of the entire army.

At this moment, he was probably feeling proud, thinking it was his prestige that scared them away?

"He is Li Xin, the leader of this attack."

"Just him? He's worthy of attacking the city? Why don't you let us charge over and capture him alive?" Yu Ji said with some dissatisfaction.

She only felt that this guy walking with a swagger was very annoying, and she really wanted to slash him with a knife.

It's a pity Qin Mu wouldn't let her charge and kill, always telling her the time hadn't come.

"In a few days, when everyone is gathered, how about I let you lead the charge?"

"Good? This is my good husband?" Yu Ji didn't know how excited she was when she heard she could lead the charge.

She just wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Qin Mu, on the other hand, was indifferent. Anyway, these guys were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, completely experience packs sent to them for training.

Besides, in a city siege battle, would the opponent run out?

Plus, except for a month's grain in the city, everything that could resist a city siege was taken away, not even leaving them a bed!

That's right, not even a bed. At this time, Li Xin finally discovered something wrong.

This wasn't just a simple empty city; there was nothing here. Bottles, jars, bowls, and chopsticks were all gone!

Fortunately, they carried quite a few such items themselves, so they wouldn't be without a place to sleep or a way to eat.

And what surprised Li Xin was that they actually found enough grain in this unmanned city to feed one hundred thousand troops for a month!

This made Li Xin have to suspect that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy he hadn't noticed.

At night, Li Xin sent out three teams to take turns guarding the city!

He suspected that the enemy would launch a night raid tonight!

Thus, the entire army was in a state of combat readiness, and everyone only slept half-full.

However, what Li Xin didn't expect was that Qin Mu didn't have the habit of night raids, or rather, he didn't want to wipe out Li Xin and the others just like that yet.

And the other three cities of the southeast and west all received a unified message!

"Li Xin's seventy thousand-strong army has moved into the Beicheng. Now leave the city to force the enemy back and drive them all toward the Beicheng!"

"The Beicheng only has Li Xin's seventy thousand-strong army right now. Our goal is to surround the one hundred thousand people."

"We attack the city, they defend the city. We occupy the initiative and use the city siege battle to train the troops!"

Master Master Zhuge Liang nodded after seeing the secret letter sent by Qin Mu.

His own lord was indeed far-sighted. It turned out that he had already thought of the path for these one hundred thousand enemy troops from the very beginning!

"Xiao Zhuang, find a way to let these five thousand people escape tonight, and give them the message that the Beicheng has been occupied by Li Xin, and let them escape to the Beicheng!"

Master Master Zhuge Liang shook his goose-feather fan. With such a lord, why worry about not winning?

At night, at the place where the five thousand prisoners of war were, they found that the guard of the Bashu South City new recruits was extremely lax.

They even saw several guys who were already asleep?

Thus, the old soldiers started discussing.

"Should we break out of prison?"

"Break out of prison? Are you crazy? If you're discovered, you'll be beheaded!"

"Will we not die if we stay here?"

"It is said that the Beicheng 820 has already been captured by General Li Xin. Should we escape and go to the Beicheng to find General Li Xin?"

"If it's General Li Xin, maybe we can still fight back!"

"Not just fight back, if we don't run, we will likely be used as vanguard fodder. By then, General Li Xin definitely won't let us off!"

"That's right, that's right, let's break out of prison!"

Thus, under the leadership of a few old soldiers, they successfully broke out of prison and even killed quite a few Bashu new recruits who were asleep.

However, what they didn't know was that those Bashu new recruits who were killed were actually not Bashu people, but Qin army soldiers they had fought alongside before!

And those who led them to the Beicheng to find Li Xin were Bashu soldiers!

They all disguised themselves and went in, and they disguised themselves so well that no one questioned them.

Even on the way, they pushed for someone to be their team leader.

And that person was a member of the Bashu new recruits. He declined in every possible way, but was considered humble by the others, and they even agreed to let him lead their group of chaotic troops.

Finally, they arrived at the Bashu Beicheng before dawn. Looking at the Great Qin flags all over the city walls, countless people had indescribable bitterness.

Although this journey only took one night, they experienced a lot, being chased and killed countless times. Fortunately, their leader was very excellent and led them to successfully escape to the Beicheng!
