Chapter 393: Bai Qi retreated from the army with one word

On May 28, the second day after Ma Sheng led 10,000 troops to reinforce Changzicheng, Sima Chong led a large army to attack Changzicheng again. Due to the urgency of time, the Zhao army needed to take Changzicheng before Bai Qi led his troops to arrive. Therefore, the Zhao army's offensive this time was very fierce, and the Changzicheng was shaking. However, under Ma Sheng's tenacious resistance, he still defended the last line of defense and did not allow the Zhao army to break through the city gate. However, according to this situation, the Qin army would probably not be able to defend for a few days.

At dusk, Ma Sheng stood at the head of the eldest son's city with a tired face. Looking at Zhao Jun who was slowly retreating, he was still scared. It was not until this moment that he finally knew what Li Chong had experienced in the few days before his death. It was a miracle that he could withstand such a fierce attack by more than 200,000 Zhao troops with just 200,000 troops. Now Ma Sheng only hopes that Bai Qi can arrive early.

Late that night, Bai Qi led 30,000 elite troops to appear quietly under Changzi City. After calling and confirming his identity, the gate of Changzi City slowly opened, and 30,000 elite Qin troops entered Changzi City.

The moment he saw Bai Qi, Ma Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had only been guarding for a day, this day gave him a feeling that he had been living a lifelong life, and he wandered on the edge of life and death several times, which he had never tried in the past thirty years of joining the army.

"The last general is paying homage to the Grand Marshal!" Ma Sheng stood in front of Bai Qi and said with a respectful attitude. Ma Sheng is a veteran of Qin and is under Meng Zhan's command all year round. Therefore, although Bai Qi is very powerful, Ma Sheng still thinks Meng Zhan is more powerful. However, after Bai Qi scares away the flag 200,000 Zhao troops this time, Ma Sheng is also impressed by Bai Qi.

Bai Qi nodded and said, "General Ma doesn't have to be too polite. I am very happy that Changzicheng can support us until our arrival, but everything has ended here. With the general here, Sima Chong will not want to get involved in Changzicheng again!"

"This is all the credit of the Taiwei. If it weren't for the reputation of the Taiwei, I'm afraid the Changzicheng was captured by the Zhao army two days ago, so how could it be defended to this day? However, General Li Chong could not wait for the Taiwei's arrival!" Ma Sheng said humbly, first attributed the credit to Bai Qi, but in fact, it was because of Bai Qi's existence that Changzicheng could last until now. In the end, Ma Sheng talked about Li Chong's death, and felt extremely regretful.

When talking about Li Chong's death, Bai Qi also showed a hint of solemnity on his face. As a leader of the younger generation and a top-notch general in the world, Bai Qi never valued veterans like Li Chong so much. However, this time Li Chong carried 200,000 Zhao troops and used his life to defend Changzicheng and Nanshangdang for Qin. This made Bai Qi admire him very much. If it were him, Bai Qi would not have done so.

"Where is General Li Chong's body? Take me to see it!" Bai Qi said. Regarding a tragic figure like Li Chong, Bai Qi thought he had to go and worship him in person!

"When General Li Chong died, because the Zhao army outside the city was approaching, the general did not do a grand ceremony. He simply built a mourning hall in the military camp. The general led the Taiwei to go there!" After that, Ma Sheng led the way in front and led Bai Qi to Li Chong's mourning hall.

When he arrived at the mourning hall in the camp, Bai Qi first put a stick of incense on Li Chong, and then said to Li Chong's coffin: "General Li, I am here, Changzi City is still there, and Nan Shangdang is still there. Not only are they here today, they will also be here in the future. General Li, go all the way!" After that, Bai Qi bowed down and bowed to Li Chong's coffin to see off the hero of Qin, and the Qin generals who came with Bai Qi also bowed with Bai Qi.

The next day, outside the Changzi City, Zhao army once again set up a formation under the city to attack the city, but just as Sima Chong was about to order the siege, Bai Qi walked to the top of the city and shouted loudly to Sima Chong below: "Sima Chong, do you still recognize me?"

Sima Chong couldn't help but feel confused when he saw Bai Qi in the city. Although he had heard of Bai Qi's name, to be honest, he had never seen Bai Qi. However, before the war, a general walked out of the Qin army and shouted at him. Even if he didn't know him, Sima Chong could guess it, so he asked, "The one in the city is the Grand Marshal of Qin, Bai Qi and Bai Qi?"

"Haha! It seems that General Sima still knows me. Since General Sima recognizes me, you should know that I am in Changzi City. You have no chance. If you don't retreat at this time, when will you wait? Otherwise, you will fail to sink into the sand under Changzi City. Don't blame me for not reminding the general!" Bai Qi said with a smile, and told Sima Chong that when you come, you don't want to capture Changzi City. If you know the truth, retreat quickly, or you will bear the consequences at your own risk!

Hearing Bai Qi's arrogant words, Sima Chong's face suddenly turned dark. Damn, I know that Bai Qi is so powerful, and I admit that you are very powerful, but I have 200,000 people here, and you are still so arrogant?

"Master Bai is joking. This Changzi City, including the entire Nan Shangdang, is the place of my Great Zhao. At that time, it was only Taiwei Bai who used conspiracy and tricks to seize it. Now, the 200,000 general army is here to regain the old land of our Great Zhao. How could Taiwei Bai retreat with just one word?" Although Sima Chong was very afraid of Bai Qi, he did not lose the formation, especially because he had an advantage in military strength. How could he admit defeat at will?

Little did he know that from what Sima Chong said just now, Bai Qi knew that Sima Chong would not dare to attack the city, so he sneered: "Since General Sima is not giving up, let me just let the horse come over and let me see how Zhao Xin's style is!" After that, Bai Qi turned around and walked back!

Seeing that Bai Qi was so arrogant, the generals of the Zhao army were very angry, so they said to Sima Chong: "General, siege the city! Bai Qi is so arrogant, the last general can't help it!" Bai Qi successfully aroused the anger in the hearts of the Zhao army generals, and they all asked Sima Chong to attack the city. They wanted to teach Bai Qi a good lesson.

But Sima Chong shook his head and said, "No, Bai Qi is a famous general of the world. He has always been unpredictable to use troops. Even General Zhao was very afraid of him when he was alive. Such a person would never be aimless. He dared to be so arrogant and fearless. He must have had plans in his heart and deliberately angered us. The more he did this, the more we should be calm, and not fall into Bai Qi's trap, send orders, and withdraw the troops!"

Facing the arrogant Bai Qi, the cautious Sima Chong immediately thought about whether Bai Qi was deliberately angering himself to attack the city, and then plotting against him. The more he did this, the less Sima Chong dared to attack the city, so he directly ordered to retreat. Although the generals of the Zhao army were very dissatisfied, Sima Chong was the commander of the army, and they had no choice but to obey, so Zhao army retreated without a single arrow.

The Qin generals who returned to the city were also very worried about Bai Qi's arrogance just now. Ma Sheng said to Bai Qi: "Taiwei, aren't you afraid that you will really anger Sima Chong? If Sima Chong really sieges the city, it will be troublesome!"

Bai Qi shook his head and said, "No, I have also studied the famous generals of Zhao State over the years. Zhao Xin is now on the surface. It goes without saying that Zhao Xin is dead. Gongsun Jue is old and not worth worrying about. Zhang Chuan is arrogant. If it were him, he might be able to attack the city, but Sima Chong, this person has always been cautious, and sometimes he is too cautious. In Sima Chong's opinion, the Japanese general is deliberately angering him. He thinks that he has any plans, so he dare not attack the city. What he can never do to deal with such a person is to show his weakness to the enemy. He must firmly take the initiative. Once he shows his timidity, it will be over. Therefore, the more arrogant the Japanese general is, the less Sima Chong dares to attack the city!"

To put it bluntly, Bai Qi captured Sima Chong's cautious personality and acted like you would let the horse go if you had the affair. In this way, Sima Chong, who was puzzled, would not dare to attack the city casually. Bai Qi was also glad that Sima Chong was outside the city, not Zhang Chuan or Li Rubing, otherwise he would be in vain today. Although he said that he was stronger than Zhang Chuan and Li Rubing, the huge gap in military strength could not be easily compensated by his personal ability.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized and admired Bai Qi very much. They deserved to be a famous general in the world. Not only can they crush their opponents in tactical ways, but they can even grasp the psychology and personality of their opponents. So they praised Bai Qi in unison: "The Grand Marshal is wise, and the last general is impressed!"
