Outside Luocheng, Zhongzhou, yellow flowers were stained with blood and all herbs were bleak. After the first battle, there was a desolate scene everywhere.

After the conditions proposed by several small princes led by Zhongshan Hou were rejected, the war inevitably broke out. Although we had expected that there would be a bloody battle, when it really happened, all the people standing on the head of Luocheng City could not help but feel the tremor and fear in their hearts.

If we talk about it seriously, the scale of the battle just ended outside the city is actually not large. Faced with the unreasonable insults and provocations of the princes, General Zi Dun personally led the two thousand imperial guards and rushed out. Three thousand and two thousand, fighting for a long time, each other suffered casualties. Then, the princes broke out from the camp and launched a large-scale siege. Zi Dun and his soldiers fought bloody battles, but they were outnumbered. Ji Mo, who rushed to the emergency after hearing the news, hurriedly sent people out to pick them up. The imperial guards retreated back to the city, and after counting, more than a thousand people were killed or injured.

"General Zi Dun, I have told you that you should not fight easily! Alas! Luocheng has insufficient troops and can only stand firm and wait for assistance. The lives of any soldier must not be easily damaged!"

There were only more than 5,000 people who could fight, but they lost more than 1,000 people in one battle. Ji Mo listened to the arrogant voices outside the city and felt that his heart seemed to be bleeding.

Zi Dun had a pain in his chest and a shame. The imperial guards who died outside the city were all comrades who had been together for many years. They were still talking and laughing at each other yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, they were separated by yin and yang, becoming lonely souls who died tragically. He only regretted that he did not have such great ability and took them to kill all the enemy!

"Mr. Mo, I have nothing to say and am willing to accept punishment. However, these guys are too bullying, and they actually insult the emperor in their words..."

"Don't say it anymore. I don't mean to punish you. When the enemy is in front of us, we should work together to protect this royal city. No matter what happens, we must calmly restrain ourselves... What's the wound, it doesn't matter?"

Zi Dun's helmet was crooked and his body was cut several times. Although it was not fatal, it was also bloody and was very injured. But at this time, he naturally didn't care about these things.

"My little injury is not a problem. As long as I can still carry a knife, I can go out to fight at any time. Mr. Mo, if I had known this, we should have expanded our army at all costs in the past few years. Alas! It's useless to say this now..."

Zi Dun was in a low mood. To be honest, the thousands of imperial guards under his command had never experienced a real battlefield. Although most of them were loyal to the emperor and the royal family, they really fought with their lives and found that they were not even the army of these little princes.

Faced with the complaints of the general of the Imperial Guard, Ji Mo could only smile bitterly. He didn't know that the firewood and rice were expensive if he was not in charge. The financial resources of the Great Zhou royal family were okay to support these thousands of Imperial Guards, but it was already difficult to maintain a huge army. Fortunately, from the general to every soldier, they had different relationships with the royal family. It was inseparable from the same woe, and there was no need to consider loyalty. At present, he had no other way to imagine. He could only inspire morale and delay time as much as possible.

"Distribute all the rewards you should give to everyone. Those who are killed in battle must be given a generous pension. The city of Luo is one. In this crisis, everyone should be mobilized to jointly protect this royal city. Otherwise, no one can survive the day the city is broken... Everyone should do it separately!"

Ji Mo waved to Zi Dun and several others, asking them to act according to their orders. This confrontation outside the city made everyone in the city recognize the facts. The cruelty of these little princes exceeded their imagination. It seems that they will not give up until they achieve their goals this time. Moreover, what is even more worrying is that the Qin army is not far away and may arrive at any time. When the tiger and wolf army finally couldn't help but show their fangs, how long can this lonely city last?!

The last pillar of the Great Zhou Dynasty stood on the city wall waiting for the stars and the moon waiting for the reinforcements, and his hair was dyed white by autumn frost overnight.

On the northern border of Zhongzhou, the 30,000 troops from Qin had blocked all passages in this direction. Not to mention that there were no princes coming to rescue, even if they wanted to take the opportunity to see the excitement and take advantage of the situation, they would quickly hide away from the Qin army's steaming murderous aura, so as not to cause trouble and make trouble.

Since leaving Hangu Pass, this Qin army was like a tiger coming out of the mountain. Under the leadership of the veteran Wang Feng, it advanced here day and night. Along the way, it was unobstructed and ghosts were evasive.

Since camping under this mountain and taking a temporary rest, Wang Feng has conveyed his combat intentions to the ears of every general. Their combat goal this time is very clear, that is, to obey the order of the King of Qin and to enter Luocheng with the most appropriate opportunity to help the King of Qin fulfill his dream.

This task is very honorable. All the generals and schools are excited. However, in Wang Feng's heart, he did not think that this was something too proud.

As one of the people who knew that the King of Qin planned the world's ambitions, Wang Feng also attended the most confidential military conference when he was in Feng'an. At the palace conference under the leadership of the King of Qin himself, like several other famous generals, he officially accepted the order of the king to start fighting for the great cause of the world.

As the most trusted and core generals of the King of Qin, if Wang Feng had to choose by himself, he would actually want to exchange tasks with Mu Xueqing. However, he was not able to do so.

Among the eight famous generals of the Qin State, three of the Wang family were Wang Feng, Wang Li, and Wang Jian. In the past few years, the Wang family has been known as the largest clan of the Qin State and has received special courtesy from the Qin royal family.

However, such glory is now stained. In less than a year, Wang Li died, Wang Jian was defeated and shamed, and several younger generations in the family who were highly anticipated died on the battlefield. Such a huge change undoubtedly caused a huge blow to the Wang family.

Wang Feng really hoped to go to Zhao Guohui to meet Chu Jiangmian. This young man who soared into the sky in the legend is the culprit of all this. However, the King of Qin did not give him this opportunity.

"General Wang, there is no need to worry about Mu Xueqing on the battlefield on the Eastern Front. The battle in Zhongzhou is the top priority! Only when you go to command it yourself can I feel at ease."

On the day of his expedition, King Nie Feng of Qin personally held his hand and entrusted it with great sincerity. Wang Feng naturally understood the weight of these words. At the same time, he also knew more clearly what the purpose of the young master Nie Wushuang who was secretly following the army was.

Thinking of this, Wang Feng looked at the young man sitting not far away as if nothing had happened. Nie Wushuang, who had already been clearly identified as the successor by the King of Qin, was looking through some collected information. His brows frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something abnormal from it.

"Chu Jiangmian actually went to Qi State... Why didn't such an important thing be sent back early?"

Nie Wushuang's tone was very serious. Gou Mie, who was bowing beside him, seemed a little nervous. The news was indeed a little slow. But it was no wonder they were. Who would have thought that Zhao's confidentiality work would be so good? No one knew how King Chu Jiangmian of Zhao went to Qi. When Gou Mie was finally confirmed, he was already in the army of Qi.

"The King of Zhao hid his whereabouts, and Qianji Pavilion blocked all the news about him. I originally thought that he would never go out easily when the territory of Zhao was not stable. But I didn't expect... this was all caused by our negligence. Please punish me!"

"You don't have to blame yourself. Everything Chu Jiangmian does is beyond the limit of prediction. We must strengthen our attention to him in the future!"

Gou Mie executed the spy quickly promised. He didn't expect Nie Wushuang to be so tolerant. The young master's sternness is well known. At some point, he is even more powerful than Wei Wuzi. But he heard the other party sneer and then said to himself.

"Chu Jiangmian, are you going to Qi State so urgently? Humph! In front of General Mu Xueqing, do you have the capital to fight him? You are really overestimating your ability!"

Seeing the sneer on the young master's face, Gou Mie Execution Spies and the servants around him also agreed. Wang Feng, not far away, looked at the combat deployment at hand again, and he did not think that Chu Jiangmian would change anything when he went to Qi State.

However, the development of the situation quickly overturned their perception. Soon after, the flying cavalry came as fast as sparks, and the two news sent by the King of Qin personally surprised them.

The first news was that Mu Xueqing was defeated and killed in Qi State. Ten thousand elite cavalry of Qin State were wiped out. The second was the order of the King of Qin to urge them to march immediately in a stern tone.

Although Wang Feng did not have a deep friendship with Mu Xueqing, the news also made him both regretful and sad. Not to mention Nie Wushuang. It was tantamount to slapping him in the face. Just a moment ago, he thought that Chu Jiangmian was asking for trouble when he went to Qi. However, he was wrong.

Mu Xueqing's defeat forced Nie Wushuang and everyone else to re-estimate Chu Jiangmian's strength. From now on, he has become a real enemy. After a long time of surprise, Wang Feng picked up his sword.

"Young Master, the king's order has been issued. Let us fight as quickly as possible, enter Luocheng and seize the Nine Cauldrons."

Nie Wushuang nodded heavily. It seems that he can only keep the hatred of Zhao and Chu Jiangmian in his heart for the time being. I believe that the Qin State will not have to wait too long to settle the entire country with them!
