Chapter 97

Before noon, the vanguard led by Qin Xiaotian arrived at the city of Ji'an. Looking at the guards on the city, Qin Xiaotian ordered all the soldiers to prepare to attack the city.

Everything was ready, but Qin Xiaotian sat upright in the military tent and made tea for the generals.

Ba Yuanliang, who had just been promoted, asked in confusion: "Why don't the general attack the city?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "What's the hurry? The time has not come yet."

Ba Yuanliang said: "Are the general waiting for the King of Han?"

Qin Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "I can't even capture a small Ji'an. Are you doubting the eyesight of the King of Han?"

If Qin Xiaotian couldn't even take down a single Ji'an, it would mean that he did not have the talent of a general at all. Of course, it also means that the Han King was not employed properly.

Ba Yuanliang said: "Is the general waiting for news from the spy?"

"That's right."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone outside asked for a meeting.

The one who came in was the "wolf pack" iron guard Xiao Wuyan who was lurking in the city a few months ago. A few days ago, he received a secret letter from the King of Han, asking them to prepare to pick up Qin Xiaotian.

Xiao Wuyan quickly stepped into the military tent, bowed and said, "Hello General Qin, finally waited until King Han came out of the mountain. We have been feeling very uncomfortable in the past few months."

Qin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Wu Tiewei. In this battle, there will be some wars in the future. The King of Han values ​​you very much."

Xiao Wuyan raised her head and said, "It is our honor to be able to serve the King of Han. We are almost dying of fear when we wait this day."

Qin Xiaotian said: "Wu Tiewei will bring us good news this time?"

Xiao Wuyan's face turned aside and said, "Just before dawn, Wang Bi and his team left the city. Because the incident happened suddenly, we couldn't find out where they were going."

"So, Ji'an City is already an empty city, and the soldiers on the top of the city are bluffing?"

Xiao Wuyan said: "Yes. Now the person guarding the city is Wang Bi's deputy general Chang Jing, who has prepared a feast for the general."

"Oh, let's hear what good food are there."

Xiao Wuyan said: "They poured tiny oil on the houses everywhere and buried gunpowder in the general's mansion. As long as the Han army broke through the city, they pretended to retreat and waited for an opportunity to ignite tiny oil and gunpowder."

Qin Xiaotian said: "This Chang Jing is indeed vicious, but these are not enough. He must have a backup plan."

Xiao Wuyan said: "The general is indeed wise. They are still packing turtle oil barrels on the four city gates. As long as the Han army enters the city, they will run out of the darkness and dump turtle oil from the top of the city. In this way, our army will not be able to escape."

Qin Xiaotian said: "It seems that these Chang Jing are not ready to live."

"Yes, the more than a thousand people left behind were all dead soldiers of the Wu army."

Qin Xiaotian sneered and said, "Even this old trick, I dare to deal with me, Qin Xiaotian. It seems that Wang Bi's reputation is only on the sword, not in his head."

He looked at Ba Yuanliang and said, "Brother Ba, do you want to make a contribution?"

Ba Yuanliang grinned and said, "After making contributions, he can not only become a general, but also a bounty. Who doesn't want to?"

Qin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send you something you are best at. You can immediately check where the troops led by Wang Bi have arrived. Give you an hour."

Ba Yuanliang received the order and happily left the military tent.

He has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child. Although no one has given him guidance, he has been fighting with prey all year round and has practiced good skills, especially his ability to track is extremely skilled. Whether it is a human or a prey, he will find it accurately as long as he leaves a trace.

This errand was as simple as peeing for him.

After Ba Yuanliang went out, the generals drank tea. Qin Xiaotian held a book called Zuo Zhuan and looked at it with concentration, as if he was not in a hurry at all.

As expected, Ba Yuanliang came back within an hour.

After his investigation, Wang Bi did not go far. He hid in a valley fifty miles away. It seemed that he would wait for Chang Jing to succeed before killing him back.

After listening to Ba Yuanliang's report, Qin Xiaotian put down the book and said in a solemn voice: "The whole army attacked the city."

Xiao Wuyan was startled and said, "Don't the general know that this is very dangerous? I won't talk about it when the Han King's men arrive."

Qin Xiaotian walked down from Shuai Chou, patted Xiao Wuyan on the shoulder, and said, "Let it go, I want the city, and I want Wang Bi's head too. You can send a signal to your people immediately. As soon as we attack the city, let them open the city gate."

He walked to the deputy general Zhu Kai and said, "I will give you two thousand troops. Be sure to take down the city within half an hour, and then clear out all the enemy troops inside. If there is a fire, you won't be able to see me."

Zhu Kai is Qin Xiaotian's kowtow brother. Although such a strict military order seems ruthless, it can prove that Zhu Kai is completely competent. Of course, he must have outstanding advantages in being able to kowtow to Qin Xiaotian.

Zhu Kai shouted loudly: "Don't worry, brother, I can't get an empty city in half an hour, so I will commit suicide by slashing my sword."

When the drums of the siege sounded, Qin Xiaotian said to the remaining generals: "As generals obey the orders, immediately lead your brothers to ambush in the woods five miles away. When Wang Bi's men arrive, all the long-range attack weapons will come together. When the enemy is defeated, charge immediately without any mistakes."

After arranging all the affairs, Qin Xiaotian said to his confidant Pan Hua: "Take my ten personal guards with me to get Wang Bi's head."

After the explanation, he looked at Xiao Wuyan and said, "Do you want Xiao Tiewei to go to the fun with me?"

Xiao Wuyan said in confusion: "I just started to attack the city. Where is the general going to take Wang Bi's head?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "After Wang Bi was defeated, he must be afraid that the King of Han would come to chase him, so he could only run back. There is a must-pass road back to Nanchang, which is the 'Xiaoyao Bridge', which is eighty miles away. I will wait for him somewhere."

Xiao Wuyan said: "Even if Wang Bi retreats, there are still many soldiers around him. The general is so sure to take Wang Bi down?"

Qin Xiaotian said: "The King of Han can be like a place where no one is in the midst of hundreds of thousands of troops. Can't this general take Wang Bi's head among tens of thousands of enemy troops?"

Xiao Wuyan was a little disbelief. Wang Bi was a famous general under Zhu Yuanzhang, and his reputation as the "Two Sword King" was made. Although he believed in the Han King's eyesight, he still didn't believe it. After all, Qin Xiaotian did not have an extraordinary reputation.

Qin Xiaotian asked his confidant guards to take out his weapons.

He used "Dragon Sword and Spear". The handle of this spear is equipped with the blade of a large sword. The spear head is an arrow-shaped and two feet long. Its function can cut and stab.

This was a commonly used weapon in the army, but it added weight and length and made it with good fine iron. The weight of this weapon alone could not control the arms without the power of a thousand pounds.
