Jin Lingzan, who was pinned to the table, shouted, "Great General, why are you doing this? Qi and Wei are allied forces. Are you going to do this to our enemies? "
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Lord Jin is thinking too much. This is to make things easier for the allied forces."
Jin Lingzan replied, "Great General, please explain!"
Huyan Wuhen asked, "How many troops does Wei have left?"
Jin Lingzan replied, "A hundred thousand troops!"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "These hundred thousand troops are made up of the trusted subordinates of the various lords. I have supervised the battle several times, but I have been hesitant to advance. Why is that?"
Jin Lingzan was speechless. This was Wei's last asset. How could they die so easily?
More importantly, as the other party had said, these were the trusted subordinates of the various lords. They were the last asset they relied on to protect themselves. It was understandable that many of them had selfish motives.
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Now that the lives of the various lords are in my hands, I will definitely supervise them. If any of you are half-hearted, don't blame me for being merciless!" With that, he flung his cloak and turned to enter the tent.
"Lock them up!" A general shouted with a wave of his hand.
After a moment of chaos, the group of Wei ministers became prisoners. Thinking back to the days when they could call the wind and summon the rain in Wei's imperial court, how could they endure this?
During the banquet, the accompanying cultivators of Wei were blocked outside. They could vaguely see the situation inside and were shocked. Some of them had already rushed back to report the situation.
Not long after, Xuan Wei, the heads of the three major sects, and a group of cultivators rushed over. They saw that the Qi army had already set up a battle formation outside the tent. Tens of thousands of soldiers were lined up in battle formations. Numerous archers had their arrows nocked and the steel spears on the siege crossbows glinted coldly. In an instant, the area in front of them had turned into a forest of iron thorns.
Many Qi cultivators had also gathered.
Faced with such a formation, before Xuan Wei could reprimand them, a soldier had already reported that the Qi army had already surrounded the Wei army.
Everyone was shocked!
Both sides negotiated, but Huyan Wuhen refused to show himself. He did agree to let the Wei army in, but only a few of Wei's higher-ups.
At this point, there was no other choice. If he didn't meet Huyan Wuhen, Weiguo would be finished.
Xuan Wei agreed to take the risk and enter. The leaders of the three sects followed her. In order to deal with sudden changes, the three sects took the initiative to ask Xuan Wei Qing Kong to enter with them.
In such a situation, even if they didn't say anything, Ximen Qingkong would still follow them inside.
The group passed through the heavily guarded army and entered the main camp. They were "escorted" all the way to the central tent.
Inside the tent, the cultivators of the Qi Kingdom stood in a circle. Huyan Wuhen stood in front of a large map with his back facing the door.
Xuan Wei shouted as soon as she entered, "Great General, the allied forces are fighting against the enemy. How can we kill each other!"
The heads of the three sects secretly held the Heavenly Sword Talismans in their hands, ready to break out of the encirclement if there was any change.
"I was just about to discuss with His Majesty about the matter of the allied forces resisting the enemy." Huyan Wuhen turned around.
Xuan Wei asked, "Since it's an alliance, why did you capture a minister of Wei Country?"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Don't worry about him. He can be released at any time."
Xuan Wei replied, "If we don't release him, how can we talk about the allied forces resisting the enemy?"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "The troops of your Wei Country have repeatedly neglected the battle in order to protect themselves. Only the soldiers of my Qi Kingdom are left to fight. How can this be considered an alliance? If I don't keep them in my hands, how can they supervise the battle? Your Majesty, it's impossible to release him. I'm about to launch a new attack. If we win, we'll release him. If we lose, keeping him here will be a waste of rations and manpower. We'll have to … kill him! "
"You …" Xuan Wei was furious. The head of the Void Spirit Manor, Chang Linxian, stopped her. "Your Majesty, since Great General wants to launch a new attack, why don't we listen to it first?" Then, he cupped his hands towards Huyan Wuhen and said, "Great General, I'm willing to listen to your opinion."
Huyan Wuhen didn't waste any time. He moved sideways in front of the map, grabbed the stick, and pointed it at a location on the map. "Three slopes. Break through this pass, and you'll be able to see a vast expanse of flat land with a radius of several hundred miles. Once the army enters, you can set up camp and attack from the east, south, and west paths at any time. The Jin Kingdom will not be able to gather troops at all three paths at the same time. Our army can choose a weak point to attack. The Jin Kingdom will lose sight of the weak point and will be defeated. "
"As long as we can attack, even if our progress is delayed, the Jin Kingdom will have to gather reinforcements from other places if they want to defend these three paths. This will create a good opportunity for our army to attack from other directions. That's why we have to take down the Three Slopes at all costs! "
The head of the Void Spirit Manor, Chang Linxian, said, "We've tried to break through the Three Slopes several times but failed. If it was so easy, why would we wait until now?"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "That's why I want to use the Wei Country's 100,000 soldiers as the vanguard to open a path for the Qi Kingdom. The Qi Kingdom will supervise the battle from the rear. If we can't break through, we are not allowed to retreat until we succeed! "He put down his stick.
The people of the Wei Country understood that he was going to use the lives of the last 100,000 soldiers of the Wei Country to fill the gap.
Xuan Wei's face was filled with grief and indignation. "Huyan Wuhen, you're clearly trying to force the Wei Country into a corner!"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Is there still the Wei Country? If we succeed, the Wei Country may still exist. If not, the Wei Country will perish! " He pointed at the Jin Kingdom on the map. "The Jin Kingdom has gathered another 3,000,000 soldiers and is pressing towards the Qi Kingdom's borders. I don't mind telling you that if we can't take down the three slopes, I will order the Qi army to retreat to the plains of the Qi Kingdom. We will make use of the vast plains to display the advantages of our Qi army and fight to the death with the Jin Kingdom. We can't continue wasting our time here! "
"If our army retreats, what Wei Country will there be?!"
Xuan Wei replied, "If you want to retreat, why don't we retreat together? My 100,000 soldiers are willing to enter the Qi Kingdom and help the Great General!" She couldn't continue to send her troops to their deaths.
Huyan Wuhen replied, "A bunch of selfish remnants. They're not even willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their own Wei Country. How can I expect them to sacrifice their lives for the Qi Kingdom? Once the wind blows in the wrong direction, they will definitely defect to the enemy and become a threat to the Qi Kingdom in the future. This is the Wei Country's last chance of survival. The Qi Kingdom is willing to fight to the death for the Wei Country! "
Xuan Wei said, "Let me discuss with Emperor Qi first whether or not to withdraw into the Qi Kingdom."
Huyan Wuhen replied, "It's useless no matter who you discuss with. A general cannot obey the emperor's orders when he is on the battlefield!"
Xuan Wei replied, "Your Prince and I are husband and wife …"
Huyan Wuhen interrupted her, "Xuan Wei, are you trying to humiliate my Qi Empire or yourself? You know better than anyone who you sleep with. Don't say such shameless words! "
Ximen Qingkong was enraged when he heard this and stepped forward.
Cha Hu, who had been guarding beside Huyan Wuhen, immediately stepped in front of him. He stared at the other party and smiled. "Ximen Qingkong, this is not a place for you to behave atrociously!"
Ximen Qingkong's expression turned serious. He had fought with the other party in the past.
Luo Yanzhen, the Gate Master of Daleshan replied, "Since the Great General does not care about the marriage between His Majesty and the Prince, then the Great General should not forget that the Prince is still in our hands!"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Do you think that I will delay the war for the Prince, or that the Emperor of the Qi Kingdom will harm the country for the Prince? If the Prince is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, the whole of Qi Kingdom will be happy! "The meaning behind his words was clear. If you want to kill him, then go ahead!
Cang Feng, the Gate Master of the Guarding Principle Pavilion, sneered. "What an arrogant Great General Huyan!"
Huyan Wuhen replied, "Let me remind the three Gate Masters that this is your last chance to reclaim the Wei Country. If you do not fight for it with all your might, there will be no place for the three sects in the world! I have made up my mind. There is no need to say more. I will give you one day to consider. Send the guests off! "
The Qi Kingdom's cultivators who had surrounded the tent immediately approached.
The three Gate Masters looked around. Chang Linxian said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
The group immediately left the tent, then turned around and strode away. Xuan Wei's face was full of grief and indignation.
With a knife on their necks, the Wei Country had no choice. They could either fight for it with all their might at the frontline, or be killed by Huyan Wuhen.
Moreover, the Wei Country's officials who were held hostage did not want to die. They contacted their own people and asked for their full cooperation …
Three days later, the Qi Kingdom's army was ready.
With such a large number of people gathered, the Jin Kingdom's spies were not blind. As soon as the Qi Kingdom's army gathered, Gao Pin immediately deduced that the Qi Kingdom's main attack direction was the Three Hills. He personally rushed to the Three Hills to command.
The Qi Kingdom had gathered eight hundred thousand people, while the Jin Kingdom had only increased their forces by one hundred thousand to deal with the two hundred thousand defending troops on the Three Hills. The Jin Kingdom's army was in a defensive position. There were too many places to defend. Their forces were scattered and could not compete with the attacking side's ability to gather forces.
A large number of troops from both sides gathered at a small Three Hills. The war was about to break out.
Gao Pin stood on one of the hills, looking at the army that was advancing slowly. The deputy general beside him was slightly shocked. "Marshal, the spies have reported that Huyan Wuhen is personally supervising the battle. Looking at the situation, I'm afraid that Huyan Wuhen will not hesitate to pay any price this time!"
Gao Pin's face was taut and he did not say a word. This was his first face-to-face battle with Huyan Wuhen!
"Woo ~ woo ~" The deep sound of a bugle horn was heard.
"Kill …" An earth-shattering roar was heard. The Wei Country's hundred thousand troops charged forward like a tsunami. The momentum made the soldiers on the hill nervous.
Gao Pin quickly turned his horse around and galloped back and forth in front. He drew his sword and shouted as he galloped, "Victory! Victory! Victory! "He personally boosted the soldiers' morale!
When the soldiers saw that the Grand Marshal was at the frontline with them, they felt much more at ease. They immediately followed suit and shouted, "Victory! Victory! Victory … "
The Wei Country's hundred thousand troops charged forward. Behind them was the Qi Kingdom's army. They were like a black tide. When the vanguard reached the bottom of the hill, they immediately slowed down. However, they were still charging forward without any regard for their lives!
They had no choice but to charge forward. The Qi Kingdom's army was holding the line. Anyone who retreated would be killed!
When the enemy troops approached, the commanding general on the hill shouted, "Fire!"
In an instant, rolling stones rumbled down, knocking over a large area. At the same time, arrows flew down like a torrential downpour. Screams of agony filled the air.
The archers below also began to return fire.
The density of the arrows had yet to weaken. A large number of Wei Country's cultivators raised their shields and charged forward. Many cultivators fell under the whizzing steel spears.
The three major sects of Wei Country were forced by Huyan Wuhen to make a last stand and launch an attack.
Gao Pin, who was under the protection of the cultivators, had a grave expression on his face. He could tell that the enemy was indeed going to pay any price this time.
