Great Zhou Tianzi

"What?" Lord Qi Tian He was taken aback. The news he got was that the Zhou and Han allied forces left the camp after dawn and headed south all the way.

What are they going to do?Tian He really can't figure it out. Is it possible that Ji Jie wants to attack Linzi City with those 10,000+ people? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey. Linzi has tens of thousands of defenders, and it can't be taken in a short while. In addition, the 30 troops here are chasing up from behind, and under the attack from inside and outside, he will only have a dead end at that time!

Just when Tian He was puzzled, the messenger sent a second message: the small southern town was occupied by the Zhou army, and fortifications were built on the spot, and their large troops were heading there.

"It's broken!" Tian He finally understood that the Zhou-Yan coalition forces wanted to establish a solid base in the territory of Qi, and use this as a base to attack the surrounding cities, which can be attacked or defended!

General Lin Zibiao of the Chu army walked in and asked, "What's the matter? Could it be that the enemy came here to kill you?"

Tian He smiled wryly and said, "It would be great if they came here! General Lin, look, Ji Jie has just occupied Xiaonan City, and the large army is heading there. He has no intention of fighting to the death with you and me!"

"Ah?" Lin Zibiao was also taken aback, and hurriedly turned around to find the location of Xiaonan City from the map, slapped his thigh and said, "It's really a terrible place, it's located at a critical throat, as long as Ji Jie is willing, he can Lead an army and drive straight to attack Linzi, and we will be choked by the defenders he left behind, and it will be difficult to rush to help!"

"Yeah, that's what I'm most worried about!" Tian He gave the order without hesitation: "Order the army to move out, try to reach Xiaonan City before the enemy builds a stronger city defense, and don't leave time for Ji Jie to make the next move. !"

Lin Zibiao said that he was leading the Chu army. He was not thinking of the people of Qi, but after Ji Jie occupied Xiaonan City, it was equivalent to cutting off his way of retreating back to Chu. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

The Chu army was 2, the Qi army was 16, and Tian He left [-] people to stick to the camp, so as not to fall into the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain. A total of [-] people rushed towards Xiaonan City.

During the march, Ji Jie ordered many spies to hide along the way, and these people sent back accurate information in time.

"Haha, Tian He must have been fooled!" Ji Jie smiled and said to the three daughters: "15 vs. 30, I really don't know what to do, after all, I have never fought against Qi Jun and Chu Jun! Well now, we have 15, they have 16, and they have to obey the orders of the two generals, so it is impossible to lose such a battle!"

After arriving in Xiaonan City, Ji Jie immediately ordered the left and right vanguards to lead troops out of the city to ambush. A small town can't hold 15 people at all, and the lack of 2 people will not be noticed by the enemy.

The [-] vanguards were non-stop, respectively ambushing at the place where the charge was launched this morning, waiting for Ji Jie's signal.

Tian He, who was on the march, received news from the scouts and told Lin Zibiao, "10,000+ are all staying in Xiaonan City. A small city's frontal defense is limited in depth. Ji Jie is committing suicide!"

The two subjectively thought that Ji Jie had just occupied Xiaonan City and was in the territory of Chu State, so he would choose to garrison the newly acquired city without hesitation, and would rather retreat than come out to fight.

"Okay, let's go and kill him!" Lin Zibiao was full of confidence.

When the allied forces arrived outside Xiaonan City, the situation in the city was indeed the same as the news brought by the scouts. Tens of thousands of people crowded shoulder to shoulder in the city, and their activities were greatly restricted.

"General Lin, I suggest that you and I divide our troops to surround Xiaonan City, and then launch a fierce attack in four directions at the same time!" Tian He said with a smile: "The enemy's movement space is limited, and they can only be beaten!"

"I agree!" Lin Zibiao volunteered, "I'm in charge of attacking the north and west gates, and I don't plan to keep a reserve team. What does General Tian think?"

"Okay!" Tian He said, "I will leave a reserve force of 7 people, and personally lead [-] people to attack the south and east gates. See you in Xiaonan City!"

"See you in Xiaonancheng!"

The city is extremely crowded. That is because the range of activities of the infantry and cavalry is suppressed indefinitely. The purpose is to make enough room for the artillery. , Just wait for an order and throw it into the enemy's line.

"I really want to know what will happen to the Qi-Chu Allied Forces who suffered a round of bombing first and then were flanked back and forth!" Ji Xueling said.

Ji Jie glanced at her, did not answer, but waved his hand, and said to the messenger: "Give me an order, as long as the enemy enters the attack range, give me a f*cking blow, let them taste our blood!" The new weapons are powerful! Remember, the enemy’s artillery position is the first target, and they cannot be allowed to release a single shell!”

"Yes!"

Tian He and Lin Zibiao also set up artillery positions, but the range of the catapults they used was limited. In their view, the absolutely safe distance was already within the coverage of the Zhou army's artillery fire.

As a result, their trebuchets were blown to pieces before they could be assembled, and the shell boxes scattered everywhere also exploded. In less than 5 minutes, the artillery of the Qi and Chu armies were wiped out.

"Damn it!" Tian He wanted to bomb Xiaonan City before charging, smashing the enemy's self-confidence and boosting his own morale.

"General, what should we do?" the cavalry general asked.

"Rush directly!" Tian He ordered.

"Yes!"

Lin Zibiao also gave the order for the cavalry to charge almost at this incident. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed from four directions, followed by an equal number of infantry. It is obvious that they are not very suitable for the tactics of new weapons. It is believed that as long as the cavalry rushes over, they can suppress the bows and arrows from the defenders of the city wall, and the infantry behind will set up a ladder, then ascend the city, and then win!

By the time they understood that victory would not come easily, it was too late.

As soon as the cavalry of the Qi and Chu army entered the attack range of the trebuchet, they were stunned by the overwhelming artillery fire. The charge was blocked but they couldn't stop because the people behind didn't know how tragic the situation ahead was. He rushed over vigorously to die.

Seeing that there was only a short distance left from the city wall, but this distance became an insurmountable gap. The Qi-Chu coalition army followed one after another, and the corpses piled up higher and higher. Every step forward had to pay a huge price.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian He was about to order the troops to withdraw when three green flares flew over Xiaonancheng, followed by two ambushing soldiers.

Then, the four gates of Xiaonan City opened wide, countless cavalry rushed out, the artillery fire stopped abruptly, and the coordination was seamless.

"Damn it, it's been tricked!" Lin Zibiao finally saw the trick, and ordered without thinking: "Retreat and avoid a direct confrontation with the Zhou army!"
