After the fall of the Ji State, Qi Xianggong spent half a year to establish a ruling order in the hometown of the Ji State, and when the remnants of the Ji State adapted to the rule of the new monarch, Qi Xianggong turned his attention to defending the country. In the summer of the fifth year of the reign of Lu Zhuang Gong (BC689), the matter of defending was officially put on the agenda.

Although Wei Huigong disgusted the ministers, he was the legitimate monarch of Wei Guo after all; And just like Wen Jiang once said to Qi Xianggong, putting Wei Huigong on the throne will benefit Qi Guo and do no harm. Therefore, the doctors did not raise objections, and the proposal was passed immediately.

If the person who used to be the one who advocated against Wei Wei was Wei Huigong, then now it is replaced by Qi Xianggong. One of the major reasons is that Xianggong's younger brother Gongzi Xiaobai defected to Weiguo with his followers.

Qi Xianggong didn't care much about the life or death of that brother, but he later heard that Xiaobai was particularly pleasing to the defenders, and Qianmu also praised him for having the powerful aura of a hegemon. As a result, Qi Xianggong suspected that Xiaobai and the Weiguo people were plotting a plot to overthrow him—just as he and Wei Huigong were going to do to Wei Qianmu.

Before Qi Xianggong left the army, he sent envoys to Song, Chen, and Cai, asking the Three Kingdoms to help in the war. After receiving the order, the three kingdoms began to assemble their armies, levy grain, grass and baggage; The Patriots also received information, and people began to build and strengthen fortifications and hoard strategic materials.

Wen Jiang missed her brother all the time, and when she heard that Xianggong was going to lead her division on an expedition, she hurried to see her off. And with the connivance of Xianggong, she actually walked into the barracks in a grand manner.

You must know that although brother and sister incest is despised, it is only a private matter between the two after all; And since King Wu Keshang, both the royal family and the princes have strictly abided by one rule, that is, women are absolutely forbidden to enter the military camp!

But for the people of Qi State, no matter what kind of embarrassing thing Qi Xianggong does, they will not be surprised.

Qi Xianggong and Wen Jiang are like a couple, they follow each other during the day and share the same bed at night. The sergeants were so disturbed by the sound of the Chinese tent every night that they wanted to rush in and strangle the prostitute to death.

The two also do a lot of outrageous things during the day. In the end, Qi Xianggong was no longer satisfied with the previous tricks, he even asked the sergeant to take out the most sacred artifact in the army, the drum of the war drum, and hand it to Wen Jiang, asking her to experience the feeling of commanding a solemn army!

The soldiers couldn't bear it anymore and questioned loudly. Shangqing Gao Wei and Guo Yizhong actually drew their swords against each other, claiming that if this woman dared to touch the drum, they would kill her on the spot; Even if he is sentenced to death, he will not hesitate to do so.

Wen Jiang was about to play with her little temper, but Qi Xianggong grabbed her. Qi Xianggong couldn't afford to provoke those two great gods, and he was afraid of causing a mutiny; He quickly put on a smile, claiming that it was just a joke. At this time, the army had reached the border, and Qi Xianggong sent Wen Jiang away.

The Qi division crossed the Yellow River to the west and was stationed in the east of the capital of the country; The armies of the other three countries also arrived at the designated place as scheduled. The capital of Weiguo is the song of the ancient capital of Yin Shang (the words Yin and Wei belong to the turn of a voice), and it was renamed "沬" after the capital of Weiguo. Since the establishment of the court song had exceeded the limits of the Zhou rites, the Zhou people destroyed part of the city. Due to the age, many parts of the city walls have been weathered and collapsed.

The Patriots did their best to repair the city walls, but in the opinion of the people, the repair work was still far from enough. The guards deepened and widened the moat and built a circular earthen wall on the inside of the moat, and many simple wooden towers lined up on the inner side of the earthen wall.

The coalition forces surrounded the capital, and Qi Xianggong decided to open the battle line and launch a simultaneous attack from three directions, east, west and south. But the fortifications of the defenders caused no small problems for the military operations of the coalition forces; The coalition forces had to build a lot of trebuchets, movable towers and a lot of ladders. And they had to level the land, which took a lot of time, and winter came when the coalition forces were about to attack.

The soldiers divided the moving towers into groups and pushed them to different points on the outside of the trenches, connecting the platforms on top of the towers with planks. These towers were taller than those built by the Guards, and the allied archers could use their height advantage to suppress enemy archers by standing on wooden planks.

Early in the morning of one November day, the offensive began. The coalition forces first used trebuchets for several rounds of long-range throwing. Because the earthen walls of the guards were built in a hurry, some places were quickly destroyed. The coalition forces formed a dense shield formation, carrying ladders and moving towards the trenches with a rain of enemy arrows, and trebuchets and archers on the towers provided them with some protection.

When the attackers set up the ladder over the trench, the trebuchet stopped firing. The soldiers crossed the stairs like marching ants.

The defenders were overwhelmed by the archers on the towers and miserable; At the critical moment, two teams of hard archers were transferred. These strongest archers could shoot arrows up to a distance of one and a half times that of ordinary archers. Their arrival had an immediate effect, with the archers on the coalition towers falling to the ground with arrows falling to the ground, and the inspired defenders fighting back, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy.

The battle was fiercely unfolding at various points of attack. Qi Xianggong beat the drum hard, the tiger's mouth was broken, and his voice was hoarse, but he still didn't stop; The war drums of the coalition army have been rumbling, echoing in that gloomy and cold winter day.

Then the north wind blew, and the attackers from the north were excited, for their arrows could be shot far away with the help of the wind, and it was also beneficial to them in close combat; The Coalition soldiers to the south, on the other hand, suffered greatly, as they were so blown by the wind that they could barely move forward, while the enemy could shoot and assassinate them with great ease.

As dusk approached, the wind grew stronger and the clouds rolled in. In a few moments, the cold wind mixed with snow flakes blew like knives on the faces of the soldiers, and the people were forced to bend down, unable to distinguish the surrounding scene, and barely heard the sound of drums.

When the coalition finally called for the Golden Duo to call it a halt, the soldiers in the north were in a difficult situation, and they climbed back to the barracks with great difficulty in the face of strong winds, while the soldiers in the south rushed into the barracks almost at a trot.

At night, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and the howling wind made it unsteady to stand. Even if you hold a torch, you can only see a few meters away. At this time, the guards recruited several brave soldiers, and they groped their way to the location of the Allied Tower with fire and oil, and burned the big guys to the ground.

If the coalition forces were given a few more days, the coalition forces would have been able to break through the outer defenses of the patriots; But without the tower, all their previous efforts were undone.
