Inside Donglai County, Qi State.

On the road, countless people of Qi took their families and headed towards the east.

There are countless big and small cars, and more are people with ragged clothes and terrified faces. Everyone's eyes are very dull, their feet are as heavy as lead, and they are walking numbly on the road. Only when they see others will their pupils suddenly become more alert.

It is already early autumn, and yellow leaves begin to appear on the trees on both sides of the road, and the scenery outside is somewhat bleak. Combined with this escape situation, it makes it even more desolate.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A convoy of more than a dozen carriages caught up with these fleeing people. On both sides of the convoy were hundreds of knights holding swords. Under the shining swords, people obediently made way out.

A little girl fell to the ground because she couldn't avoid it, causing one of the young knights' war horses to almost trample over her.

The young knight was furious and squirted out a few swear words. He raised the whip in his hand and was about to suck it down.

"Enough, Tian Zhu!" Another older knight, who was in his early thirties, stopped the young knight: "It's all my people from Daqi, stop."

Tian Zhu snorted and took back the whip.

The older knight strangled the horse and said to the little girl who was still sitting on the ground: "Is it okay?"

The little girl was already in her arms by her parents, looking at the older knight with fear and dared not speak.

The older knight glared at the young knight, took out two pancakes from his arms, and handed them to the little girl friendly: "This is a plea for the clan brother. Let's go early, and it's still half a day to go, so it's safe to get to Jimo."

The little girl hesitated for a moment, reached out to take the pancake, and showed a dirty smile at the older knight.

The older knight blinked at the little girl and rode his horse away.

The convoy passed the crowd and continued to move forward.

Tian Zhu caught up with the older knight and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why did Brother Tian Dan give them that pancake? She obviously disturbed my horse, so she almost broke the horse's hooves."

The name of this older knight is Tian Dan.

Tian Dan turned his head, stared at Tian Zhu very sternly, and said, "I'm confused, how can a mere horse be compared with human life!"

Tian Zhu argued: "That's just a savage daughter..."

"Stop!" Tian Dan was furious and shouted, "Not to mention the daughter of a savage, even the daughter of a wild wolf, it is much more expensive than a horse! You will know how to fight for chickens and dogs if you don't have to give birth all day long. Now that the country is in trouble, you don't know how to be polite to the people. The atmosphere of the Great Qi Dynasty is like this, no wonder it was forced by Zhao to such a state of destruction now."

Tian Zhu lowered his head awkwardly because he was scolded, and did not dare to retaliate.

Tian Dan glared at Tian Zhu angrily and said, "Go, take a few people and see how the wheels are. Jimo is right in front of you, and you can't damage the car anymore."

Tian Zhu responded, took the horse away, ran away dozens of steps before muttering unhappy: "Isn't it just a small official in the city, but he has such a great official power!"

Several young children following Tian Zhu looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhu is such a bad word. If it weren't for Brother Tian Dan's plan, the carriage we were waiting for must have been damaged on the road. This alone would be a great contribution to us. How could Brother Zhu blame him like this?"

Before he said it in person, his friends opposed it behind his back. Tian Zhu couldn't help rolling his eyes, stopped talking, but began to check the wheels.

Unlike the wheels of other vehicles, the fleet led by Tian Dan has a small iron cage on each wheel, covering the outermost end of the wheel axis.

Don’t underestimate the action of covering the carriage. You should know that most of the civilian carriages in this era are based on the design of the chariots. The carriages of the chariots are very sharp and narrow, and usually protrude outward for more than ten to twenty centimeters. In this way, when the chariots of both sides pass by each other during a war, the sharp carriages will damage the wheels and axles of the other side’s chariots.

Since most chariots are double wheels, the chariot will lose its combat effectiveness after any wheel is damaged. Therefore, with the development of the chariot, the carriage has become a must-have item for every chariot and an object that is included on the wheels of ordinary carriages.

It is precisely because of this that when fleeing, when many carriages were crowded and moving forward on the road, the collision between each other caused the wheels to be damaged, and the entire carriage was completely shut down.

You should know that the pursuers of Zhao State were behind him. Once the carriage stopped, it was basically impossible for him to escape from the pursuit of Zhao's army.

Only Tian Dan's team's carriage was hit by Tian Dan in advance, which prevented the collision between his own carriage and other carriages from being damaged, thus leaving other compatriots behind and fleeing from Anping to here.

Tian Dan rode his horse to a small hill on the side of the road, and a city appeared at the end of his sight east, which made him feel refreshed.

"It's Jimo there!" Tian Shan pointed to the city in the distance and said to the people around him.

Most of these people are the uncles of Tian Shan brothers. They are actually children of the Duke of Qi. However, they have already released five squads in two hundred years, which is basically similar to Liu Bei's "After King Jing of Zhongshan" who has no bloodline except blowing the pussy.

Tian Dan is actually quite successful. He originally worked as a city clerk in Linzi City, that is, a minor official in charge of managing a market in Linzi City. He is also a civil servant in Qi State. He is also a figure among these brothers and uncles who are all civilians.

After Linzi was captured, Tian Dan immediately pulled everyone to escape, and his ideas were very useful all the way, so he naturally became the backbone of everyone.

After seeing Jimo City, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But someone immediately asked: "Brother Tian Dan, when will it be the end of the journey after escaping?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere that everyone had just become active disappeared immediately.

From Linzi to here, everyone had fled for more than half a month, hundreds of miles away, and had traveled half of Qi.

After passing many cities along the way, not no one wanted to stay. However, Tian Dan insisted that these cities could not be held firmly and would be conquered by the Zhao army sooner or later, and he had to continue to flee eastward.

And the facts also prove that what Tian Dan said is true.

What made everyone even more panicked was that as time gradually grew, from the messengers and refugees who kept catching up behind them, they learned that a Zhao cavalry was gradually catching up with Tian Dan and his group.

Beside Tian Dan, someone said, "The capturing General Lian Po is said to be less than thirty miles away from us. If Jimo could not hold on..."

Capturing General Wang is a new nickname given to Lian Po by Qi people. Now Lian Po is very popular among the rumors of Qi people. He is like tearing tigers and leopards with bare hands, jumping up to the Linzi city wall, killing all directions with one enemy, and then roaring with a roar, pulling out the heavy Yimen and letting Zhao army enter the city... The absolute number one person is far better than the serious Zhao general like Niu Jian and Le Yi.

The atmosphere became more and more solemn. After hearing Lian Po's name, many people even showed a look of horror.

Another whispered: "Even General Kuang Zhang can't resist the people of Zhao, Linzi has also been lost. Is this Da Qi really able to resist the Zhao army?"

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the hills were covered with silence, with only the somewhat uneasy sound of horses. A yellow fallen leaves drifted past Tian Dan with the wind. Tian Dan waved his hand impatiently, but swept away the air.

Tian Dan let out a long sigh, glanced at his relatives around him, and said seriously: "Jimo is one of the five capitals. If Jimo cannot defend it, then there will be no city in Donglai that can resist. Second and third sons, this time, we will be in Jimo and will not leave!"

Everyone agreed with Tian Dan's decision.

I have been running away for more than half a month, and both physically and mentally, I have reached my limit.

Too difficult.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Tian Dan said, "Okay, it's not too late. It's safer to arrive in Jimo one day earlier. Let's go."

Everyone stopped hesitating and rushed down the hills and guarded the convoy towards Jimo in the east.

That night, Tian Shan and his party successfully entered Jimo City.

That night, Tian Dan had a dream.

He dreamed that the countless fugitives in Qi that he saw on the road were massacred by the Zhao cavalry who were chasing him. Although he rushed up, he was outnumbered.

A general of Zhao knocked him down and surrounded Tian Dan by countless swords and guns.

Tian Dan sat on the ground, shouting loudly, and counting the heavy military disaster caused by the Zhao invaders, and gritted his teeth and cursed.

What surprised Tian Dan was that the general of Zhao was not angry, but just asked Tian Dan: "You only see the scene when Qi was in trouble now. Have you ever been to those places where the family was destroyed because of the Qi army's entry, and have you seen what it looks like there?"

After saying this, a splash of sword light slashed directly at Tian Dan's head.

"No!!!" Tian Shan roared, and suddenly woke up and sat up from the wooden couch.

"It turned out to be just a dream..." Tian Dan let out a long sigh and realized that he was already sweating and heavy clothes.

A quite enthusiastic noise came from outside the window, which made Tian Dan feel a little restless and quickly opened the door and walked out.

The place where Tian Dan and others lived was on the edge of a small residential yard in Jimo City. When they went out, they were Fang Wall, Fangmen and Main Road. Looking from the Fangmen, they happened to see a team of troops passing by the road in front of Fangmen.

Many Tian Dan's tribe members had already gotten up and were gathering together to look at the army outside with interest and pointing fingers.

"This military appearance is too rude."

"Tsk tsk, it's far from the martial artists we've seen in Linzi."

"What are you talking about? The martial artists are the elites in the Great Qi. Now these are just the brave and brave raids from Jimo. They are said to have just obtained armor and weapons from the treasury. How can they be compared?"

"Oh, my Great Qi has fallen to the point of being able to fight against the Youxia Township Dynasties and the Zhao people's capture of General Wang?"

"Can these people... be able to keep it?"

A sudden silence.

Tian Dan coughed, attracted everyone's eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's over now, what's the use of these things? The Zhao army is coming. After using the morning food later, I'll join the army with me to fight."

After a pause, Tian Dan said again: "If Jimo is captured by the Zhao people again, even if the world is big, there will be no place for us to stay."

Suddenly, a harsh sound of whispering sounds rang out, and someone was shouting: "Zhao Jun has arrived outside the city!"

Suddenly, there was chaos in Jimo City.

...

Outside the city.

Lian Po held the horse, stared at Jimo City in front of him, and licked his lips with regret: "Zhao She, if we had a few ladders at this time, would we be able to break through directly?"

Zhao She also rode a horse and looked at Jimo City beside Lian Po.

It can be seen that this is a city that has not experienced war for a long time. Whether it is the damaged and obvious city wall or the scattered Qi soldiers on the city wall, it proves how fragile the defense of the Qi State's deputy was.

Just now, there were even Qi soldiers shooting arrows from the city to the direction where Zhao She and Lian Po were... What did these Qi soldiers think they were? A total of 500 steps away, it would be useless to make Yang Youji reborn.

If there were a thousand elite infantry now, and there were ten ladders, just these flower stands on the city wall, I would probably be able to attack the citytop in less than two quarters of an hour?

Zhao She shook her head with some regret and said, "But we only have three thousand elite cavalry now... I'm afraid we can only be trapped temporarily."

Lian Po sighed and said, "Yes. Let's do this first, drive all the Qi people outside the city to the east and let them enter the city from the east gate. Then we will wait for General Le Yi's army to follow behind."

Zhao She nodded and looked at the many Qi people in front of her who were locked outside the city and fleeing in a hurry. A few strange colors flashed in her eyes and said, "That's all, these Qi people are useless to kill them. If you rush into the city, you can waste some Qi people's food. But, don't you really need to arrest all the young and strong people here?"

Lian Po shook his head, reached out and pointed his hand hundreds of steps away, slapped the Jimo city gate, crying loudly and begging the Qi people who opened the door: "Those are the people? Forget it, General Le Yi has also advised him in advance, let him go."

Zhao She whispered and suddenly said, "By the way, General, you tell me, why do you think so much about Jimo City? General Le Yi brought a 50,000 army to come? If we talk about combat preparations, this place should be the worst among the five capitals of Qi, right?"

Lian Po scratched his head and said, "Your Zhao She's head is better than this general. How do you know something that you don't know? But... no matter what, most of Qi has been taken down by the Great Zhao army. Could it be that Jimo still has the ability to turn the tide?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

No wonder they were so confident. Since they captured Linzi and were in charge of the Lord's father in the palace, with the active cooperation of the surrendered ministers of Qi, Zhao's army swept across the entire western part of the Shandong Peninsula with almost the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves. Lian Po and Zhao She led 5,000 cavalry all the way over, and many cities did not even need to shoot the prepared surrendered letters written by the surrendered ministers into the city and they had already opened the door to surrender.

During the past half a month, Lian Po and Zhao She marched all the way, but they only encountered resistance in two small cities.

What is even more sarcastic is that even the two small cities that were planning to resist, less than half a day after the letter of persuasion was shot into the city, the big families in the city who received the letter raised troops to kill the county magistrate of the city who was strongly defending the city to the end, and opened the door to present the city.

After all the three major battles in Taoyi, Gaotang and Linzi failed, despair had already enveloped the entire Qi State.

On that day, Lian Po and Zhao She led the three thousand cavalry in front of them to complete the cleaning of the outer periphery of Jimo City, officially cutting off the connection between Jimo City and the outside world.

Two days later, Le Yi led 50,000 elite Zhao troops to arrive and completely completed the siege of Jimo City.

At this time, neither the people of Zhao outside the city nor the people of Qi inside the city realized what kind of turning point this battle in Jimo would be, and how would it attract the attention of the entire Great Six.
