Chapter 2586 Wu Qi leads the charge, Jiang Chen slays Qi Meng

During the time when Helian Wucai and Nurhaci entered Han territory, a three-way war officially began in the Daqian region in the south of Han.

Tian Qi is different from Xuan Xiao. Xuan Xiao has been weakened by various forces over the years and is on the verge of destruction.

It can be said that Xuanxiao was only one final push away from complete annihilation.

But Tian Qi is different. In the past three years, although Tian Qi has had occasional battles, they have only been small-scale battles. Overall, it has been in a state of recuperation and development.

At this moment, Tian Qi was at its peak in terms of national strength, far surpassing Xuan Xiao's dilapidated state.

It was precisely because the strength of the State of Tian Qi was not damaged at this time that Jiang Ziya devised a strategy for Tian Qi that was to gradually erode it, rather than to completely destroy it with overwhelming force as he had done with Xuan Xiao.

Jiang Ziya's strategy was to destroy Xuan in three months, to deliver the final blow to Xuan Xiao within three months, and then join forces to destroy Qi, completely eliminating these two rebel kings before the end of the year.

Ji Chengfu led 300,000 troops, advancing in two directions. Tian Wu immediately sent someone to invite Wu Qi's troops to come and help in the battle.

The reason why Tian Qi agreed to open this concession to Da Han was because the two sides already had an alliance. If Jiang Qian sent troops to attack Tian Qi, the troops in the Da Han concession would send troops to help Tian Qi.

After all, at this time, although Tian Qi's national strength was at its peak, it was only at its peak.

Even if Jiang Qian did not deploy his full force, 10% of his troops was still equivalent to 100% of his strength. Moreover, it was not just 10%.

Although this great battle was not fought for the Han Dynasty, but for the Qi Dynasty, Wu Qi still actively organized his army and prepared for war.

Although he held a high position of power within the Han concession, it was only within the Han concession. In the context of the entire Han Dynasty, his rank was not actually that high.

Moreover, Wang Yu provided all the resources he could with the five thousand troops in the concession, including manpower, equipment, and even a powerful general to bolster his forces.

But precisely because of this, how can he truly subdue these arrogant and fierce soldiers if he doesn't demonstrate actual ability?

Even if this battle wasn't fought for the Han Dynasty, but for the Tian Qi, it was still an opportunity for Wu Qi to make a name for himself and to truly win over his arrogant and fierce generals.

Within the concession, the Han Dynasty only had 5,000 troops stationed there, but Wu Qi mobilized 3,000 men to fight on the front lines in Qiqian, leaving General Wei Gao to lead the remaining 2,000 troops to guard the port.

These mere three thousand men were a gathering of powerful generals, the strongest of whom was Zhu Quan, who was originally stationed at Zhongxing Pass. With his ultimate-level divine general strength, he was also the strongest general in Wu Qi's army.

Of course, Zhu Quan, whose official rank and title were above Wu Qi's, was also the one Wu Qi found most difficult to subdue.

Compared to Zhu Quan, Wu Qi had not achieved any merit, yet he directly used the imperial decree to control him, thus putting him at a disadvantage.

Besides these, there are only two other god-level warriors left: Lancelot and Leonidas.

One of these two men was a newcomer, while the other was a surrendered general who had only been with the Han for half a year. Although both were highly skilled, they were at least somewhat easier to manage than Zhu Quan on the surface.

These two men, one a newcomer and the other a former surrendered general, regardless of their private opinions of Wu Qi, at least outwardly wouldn't openly oppose him. Whether they truly respected him or not is another matter, but they at least outwardly acknowledged him.

By the time Wu Qi led his troops to join forces with Tian Qi, the battle on the Qian Qi front had already lasted for more than half a month.

In just half a month, Tian Qi had already lost several cities under Ji Chengfu's control. Although Tian Ji and Tian Pan were famous generals, they lacked powerful generals under their command.

After Tian Qi rose to power, he occupied a very advantageous geographical location. He directly occupied the best location, Jinjiao, and Yinbian, and there were several minor rebel kings as a buffer between him and Jiang Qian in the early days.

This advantageous geographical location has allowed them to survive to this day, unlike other rebel kings in the surrounding area who have been gradually eliminated by the imperial court.

However, precisely because of this, they remained relatively unknown and insignificant among the rebel kings. Furthermore, since they were originally officials of the Great Qian Dynasty and rose to power through rebellion, naturally few people were willing to come to them.

In contrast, although Xuanxiao is located in the south, a place of constant warfare, and has been fighting almost all the way to the present, it is precisely because of this that it has gradually built its reputation and attracted a large number of talents.

Although powerful generals like Jiang Ren and Jiang Hou were among Jiang Ziya's troops, Jiang Chen, a previously unknown member of the Daqian imperial family, had killed countless generals in the past half month, forcing the generals of Tian Qi to stay at home.

In particular, Tian Kaidi, the only god-level general of Tian Qi, was killed by Jiang Chen in the first battle. He became the first stepping stone for Jiang Chen to make a name for himself, and at the same time, he greatly demoralized the Tian Qi army.

In just half a month, Tian Qi lost several cities, which is at least 40% of the reason.

Fortunately, Tian Ji, the frontline general of Tian Qi, finally got his wish when Wu Qi arrived with his troops. Although Wu Qi brought a small number of soldiers, he was looking forward to the arrival of Wu Qi's strong generals, hoping that they could defeat Jiang Chen and regain their honor, thereby restoring the morale of the army.

Only by restoring morale in the army can they be confident of stabilizing the situation and blocking Ji Chengfu's troops.

After arriving at the battlefield, Wu Qi learned about the situation and was somewhat shocked.

Tian Kaidi, the most powerful general of the Tian Qi state, was not famous in the world, but he was still a god-level general.

However, he didn't even have a chance to escape before being killed. Perhaps his opponent was unknown, which made him careless, but the main reason was the real difference in strength.

Upon hearing that Jiang Qian's army actually had such a fierce general, Zhu Quan immediately became interested and requested permission to fight him.

However, Wu Qi was a cautious man, and since he had already demonstrated considerable strength, just in case, he still let Leonidas take the lead, while the stronger Zhu Quan brought up the rear.

This served two purposes: to allow Leonidas to test the opponent's strength first, and to allow Zhu Quan to observe the opponent's moves in advance so that he could make adequate preparations and have a greater chance of winning the fight.

A commander like Wu Qi naturally needs to think from a strategic perspective to maintain a higher chance of victory, rather than relying solely on personal bravery. He must do everything possible to ensure victory in this battle and thus successfully restore the morale of the Tian Qi army.

Although Zhu Quan was displeased with Wu Qi's decision, he would not openly contradict Wu Qi, who was nominally the commander-in-chief of the army, in the presence of outsiders. Even if he disagreed with him, it would be a private matter.

Otherwise, why would Wang Yu have transferred Zhu Quan instead of someone like Xing Tian or Li Cunxiao?

If the commander above cannot convince the latter two, they are very likely to completely disregard Wu Qi.
