Chapter 1278 Three Alliances

Therefore, some time ago, Wu Qi wrote to Feng and Chen with sincerity, stating the strength of the Yingtian army, hoping that the three families would unite and fight against Zhao.

After about two months, Feng and Chen finally replied, but the content of the letter did ridicule Wu Qi severely.

Perhaps the tigers and wolves are old and no longer have the fierceness they once had. Instead, they are like dogs, so they are afraid of the wind...

Wu Qi was naturally angry when he saw this, but more of it was helpless.

He was helpless that the opponents who had been entangled with him for so long were all rats and short-sighted.

"Mr. Wen, what do you think we should do in this situation?!"

After a long time, Wu Qi suddenly asked.

"My lord, I have a way here."

Mr. Wen was also silent for a long time before struggling to say.

"We might as well surrender directly. The lord's family is now in the hands of the Zhao thief. If we surrender, our family will be safe. In order to convince the world, the Zhao thief will not treat the lord harshly, and the lord's descendants will be rich and prosperous."

"First, there was a rain of fire from the stars, and then there was a divine thunder that destroyed the world. The Zhao thief might really be able to rule the world..."

"On the contrary, if we continue, the Feng and Chen families will definitely watch us fight with the Zhao thief. When we are weak, they will send troops to attack us in one fell swoop. By then, there will be no way to survive."

Mr. Wen said this sincerely and sincerely for Wu Qi. He was definitely not benefited by the Zhao thief. Wu Qi, a great hero, naturally knew this.

Heroes are suspicious, but they can use people without doubt and not use people if they are suspicious.

And Wu Qi also knew that this was the truth, but he was still unwilling in his heart.

His good situation was all changed because of that one person, and now, he actually begged for mercy from that person.

He couldn't swallow this anger after all.

As for his family, he naturally pitied his family, but when he thought about his children, none of them were useful, he felt that even if he saved them, it seemed that there was not much meaning.

After a long time, Wu Qi's expression changed several times, and finally he said resolutely: "Mr. Wen, don't mention this matter again!"

...

In June, Wu Qi brought more than 40 people and personally went to Feng and Chen to envoy.

The leaders of the two families were shocked by Wu Qi's determination and courage. If it weren't for the Yingtian Army to seize Wucheng, facing such an opponent, their two families would be really in danger.

In July, Wu Qi gave the two cities and six counties in his hands to Feng and Chen according to the agreement, and signed an alliance. If there were still children of the Wu family alive after this battle, Feng and Chen would protect the children of the Wu family. Otherwise, heaven and earth would abandon them.

In July, August, and September, for three months, Feng and Chen sent people and soldiers to take over the territory in order to prevent Wu Qi from reneging, and Wu Qi withdrew his troops without hesitation.

In October, the coalition forces of Feng, Chen, and Wu were finally formed. The three families sent a total of 200,000 troops, claiming to be 300,000, and marched to Wucheng.

And Zhao Cheng did not hesitate to withdraw the troops stationed outside the city back to the city, relying on the solidity of the city to secure the city.

In November, the three coalition forces attacked the city six times without success.

In December, the three coalition forces attacked the city three times, but still failed.

The two months of fighting also made Feng and Chen know the power of the Yingtian Army and truly feel the threat of the Yingtian Army.

So the three families all began to recruit men in their own territory, wanting to pile up human lives and directly pile up a bloody road.

At the same time, when the weather entered winter and became colder day by day, a major event also happened in the coalition army, that is, Wu Qi fell ill, and was seriously ill.

"Cough cough!"

In the tent, Wu Qi coughed violently until he finally coughed up blood, and the pale Lianshan also showed blood color, and then he felt better.

"Lord, this is medicine..."

Seeing this, Mr. Wen hurriedly handed the medicine bowl in his hand to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi did not hesitate and immediately drank a large bowl of medicine. Only then did he feel that he finally had some strength in his heart.

"I heard that you went to attack the city again yesterday. How was the battle?!"

Wu Qi asked after taking a deep breath.

He was very ill these days and didn't have much time to wake up.

He himself didn't expect that he could be so weak.

After all, just three years ago, he had been swimming in the river with his bare chest in the middle of winter, and he didn't feel cold at all. But now, even in the tent, roasting by the fire, he still felt that the cold wind was like a knife, scraping the bones.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that his end was probably only a year or two.

"Although I climbed the tower with a siege ladder yesterday, I was still beaten down."

"Wucheng is difficult to cross. If you want to take Wucheng, I'm afraid you can only wait until the food and grass in the city are exhausted..."

Mr. Wen shook his head.

"Wucheng has a lot of food and grass. The Zhao thieves killed and confiscated the family before. It's hard to run out in a year or two..."

Wu Qi closed his eyes.

"I'm afraid I may not see the defeat of the Zhao thieves in this lifetime."

...

On the other side, above Wucheng, Lin Yi followed orders to defend the city.

Looking at the smoke in the distance, he felt that the air he breathed was cold and bloody.

At the same time, he was also somewhat fortunate that it was winter, otherwise so many people had died and the corpses were piled up, and there might be a big epidemic.

There are many wounded soldiers recuperating under the tower in the city. Unlike the harsh environment of the three coalition forces, in Wucheng, the charcoal fire never stops in winter, and for the wounded, it is necessary to always have hot water. If the tea cools down, it will be a loss.

In addition, all the wounded soldiers will apply a yellow powder to their wounds at regular intervals and in fixed quantities.

Lin Yi only knows that this is indeed a magic medicine. Originally, if a person is injured by a sword, it is easy to have a high fever or even die directly, but now, with this thing, the deterioration of the wound has been effectively curbed.

As for this magic medicine, he vaguely heard that it was extracted from moldy paste by Taoists. The general said that this thing is called penicillin.

Of course, to the outside world, this thing is called Shenxiansan.

Lin Yi has been defending the city for several months. After several months, he has also made a positive judgment on the strength of the three coalition forces.

The three coalition forces are indeed fierce, but if they fight head-on, they can fight.

However, Zhao Cheng's order was only to defend the city, and no matter how the enemy shouted, they were not allowed to leave the city.

Many generals were puzzled by this and didn't know why.

After all, with the city as a fixed income, 70,000 versus 200,000 was not without advantages.

Only Lin Yi, as a confidant, vaguely knew that Zhao Cheng had selected 2,000 strong and agile soldiers from the 70,000 troops, saying that he wanted to sacrifice and train an invincible Taoist soldier.

He didn't know the specific situation of the Taoist soldiers, but he knew that there was a restricted area outside the city in the direction of Qingzhou, and occasionally there were earth-shaking explosions.
