Chapter 145 The attack begins
Wei Bu died, Ji's surname was Wei, and he was the 39th king of the Wei Kingdom.
For this monarch known as Wei Chenghou in history, one word to describe him is the helplessness of a small country monarch.
In the sixteenth year of Wei Bushi's succession to the throne, that is, in 356 BC, something happened in the Wei Kingdom.
Perhaps he was under pressure from the outside and felt that the country was weak and the Wei Dynasty was weak, so he finally chose to demote himself to the rank of marquis.
This is why Wei Bushi's father is called Wei Shenggong, and he himself is called Wei Chenghou.
However, this all happened in the previous life, and now Wei Bushi is still the Duke of Wei, sitting opposite Gongsun Qi, the leader of the coalition forces, in the Chinese army's tent.
Looking at Wei Budie in front of him, a kind smile appeared on Gongsun Qi's face, "Now the Qi army is close at hand."
"The war is about to begin, so there must be no slacking off. The general has given an order that no drinking is allowed in the army before the war."
"As the commander-in-chief of an army, the general should set a good example for his subordinates. It is not appropriate to entertain Duke Wei with wine."
While he was talking, Gongsun Qi picked up a pottery bowl from the table in front of him and said, "I can only use water instead of wine to thank Duke Wei for his kindness in coming to comfort our army."
"If you manage the army like this, Sima Zhen is one of the most talented people in the world."
Looking at Gongsun Qi in front of him, Wei Bushi had a look of appreciation on his face, and he also raised a pottery bowl in front of him.
"Since the military order is like this, I can't violate it." After saying these words, Wei Bushi pointed the water bowl in his hand forward and saluted, "I will use this bowl of water to honor Sima."
"Sima, please."
"Mr. Wei, please."
Two voices sounded in the big tent. Wei Bushi and Gongsun Qi looked at each other, and a solemn look appeared on their faces at the same time.
After a few breaths, Wei Bushi drank all the water but did not put down the pottery bowl.
While constantly stroking the pottery bowl in his hand, Wei Bushi did not speak for a long time. At the same time, a solemn look quietly appeared in his eyes.
Gongsun Qi, who had been paying attention to Wei Bushi, naturally did not ignore the change in expression on his face, and a voice of inquiry appeared in the tent.
"I wonder if Duke Wei has something to say to the general?"
"this……"
When Gongsun Qi's question rang in his ears, Wei Bushi slowly raised his head, and a hesitant look immediately appeared on his face.
Seeing the expression on the opposite side of Wei Bushi, Gongsun Qi said consolingly: "You don't have to be like this, Duke Wei. There are only you and me here. Duke Wei can speak freely."
After hearing what Gongsun Qi said, and after a moment of confusion in his heart, he heard Wei Bushi say in a low voice: "To be honest with Sima, I know that Qi's 100,000-strong army is about to attack the city, and I feel really uneasy."
"If possible, I hope Sima can give me an explanation. What are the chances of our coalition forces winning this war?"
Faced with the panic in the heart of the guard in front of him, Gongsun did not feel the slightest bit of ridicule in his heart, let alone the slightest bit of contempt for the guard.
In this battle, the combined strength of the coalition forces and the Qi army exceeded 200,000. As the commander-in-chief of such a large-scale battle, with an army of 130,000 in his hands, he felt solemn in his heart.
What's more, standing on the top of the city, he could see the 100,000 Qi troops in the distance, and he was inevitably uneasy in his heart. What about the King of Wei?
After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Qi slowly stood up from his seat and looked at the guard in front of him with an apologetic look in his eyes.
"Previously, the last general was focused on military affairs and failed to report the battlefield situation in time, which made Duke Wei feel hesitant." At the same time as he said these words, Gongsun Qi had already arrived in front of Wei Bushi, "This is the last general.
For his faults, please also ask Duke Wei to pay homage to him as the last general."
"Sima can't..."
After seeing what Gongsun Qi in front of him did after he finished his questions, Wei Bushi immediately stood up from his seat.
He hurried forward and helped Gongsun Qi up, and then heard Wei Bushi say: "Sima is really speaking harshly. I just want to ask Sima about his confidence in the situation of the war."
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Whether this battle will be won or lost, the general will not be able to answer Duke Wei before the war begins."
When he said this, Gongsun Qi's gaze moved directly to Wei Bushi in front of him, and an extremely solemn look appeared in his eyes.
"But please rest assured, Mr. Wei, the general will do his best to protect the city of Puyang, to protect fairness and security, and to protect the country and the country."
The three of them, Gongsun Qi, tried their best to speak out, and with the look on his face, most of Wei Bushi's worries disappeared in an instant.
It was as if a suppressed air dissipated with the wind, but a heartfelt smile appeared on Wei Bushi's face, "With Sima's words, the stone hanging in my heart has fallen to the ground.
, I didn’t come here in vain this time.”
Shortly after these words were spoken, Wei Bushi left the camp where the 40,000-strong Wei army was stationed, under the personal escort of Gongsun Qi, the leader of the coalition forces.
After watching the car of Wei Gong and his entourage slowly disappear from sight, the smile on Gongsun Qi's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a serious look on his face.
Wei Gongwei Bushi's trip this time was clearly telling Gongsun Qi, the commander-in-chief, that they could clearly feel the fierceness of Qi's army.
The pace of this war is about to approach him and his soldiers.
At this thought, Gongsun Qi's gaze moved to the east, and an extremely strong chill gradually condensed in his eyes.
The first wave of the coalition's offensive in this war will begin in Malingyi, dozens of miles away.
…
"Fire fire fire..."
Qi State, Malingyi.
In the dark night, looking at the sudden appearance of fire on the horizon in the distance, the face of the sergeant Qi on duty was full of horror at this moment.
Along with a sound filled with fear, a sound sounded in the silence, and numerous firelights suddenly fell down in an instant, like balls of fire falling from the sky.
The next moment, sharp arrows pierced the armor of the Qi soldier, and the sharp arrow clusters shot into his flesh and blood.
Soldier Qi, who was hit hard, wanted to say something, but the severe pain coming from his body prevented him from shouting anything.
Blood flowed outwards along the place where the arrow entered. The life of this Qi soldier also disappeared rapidly in a matter of minutes, and his vision gradually began to become blurred.
Without the support, his body fell to the ground, and then a dull sound appeared on the ground.
Everything around him became extremely quiet, and this Qi soldier was alone, welcoming the arrival of his own death moment.
"kill……"
Suddenly, a cry of death suddenly rang out from a distance, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground reached the ears of the dying Qi sergeant.
He opened his heavy eyes with great difficulty and looked in the direction of the sound. The figures approaching in the distance were so unreal.
"Enemy attack!"
With one last thought left in his heart, the life of this Qi soldier finally came to an end.
It's just that this soldier may be the first Qi army to die, but he will not be the last. The Wei army's attack tonight has just begun.
Chapter completed!
