After several fruitless frontal attacks, Xichi switched strategies, went around the mountains to the south, opened several passes in the south, and quickly captured a city.

Cheng Zheng left half of the soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and quickly led the troops to the south. Hearing that the master of this city guarding the city will be Lian Mo, the second prince of Xichi, everyone felt pressure.

Lian Mo grew up in the military since he was a child, with outstanding ability, rich combat experience, and a great reputation.

The army set up camp outside the city, and several generals discussed the siege plan.

Night attack, fire attack, sound east and west, lure the enemy out of the city, several attacks to nothing, the Xichi army stubbornly resisted, skillfully fought back, Fengyan City could not be attacked for a long time, the soldiers were anxious.

Whether to attack head-on or besiege the city, there was a difference in tactics.

The frontal attack was obviously a helpless move, because the ground of Fengyan City was high, and the soldiers and horses had been exposed to the enemy's sight before they approached, and the enemy fired arrows at the city gate, and our army could not get close at all. However, the siege also has many drawbacks, first of all, it is necessary to go deep behind the enemy, but I don't know how many troops are behind the enemy, and it is dangerous to rush forward, and the team that fights in the front is likely to go and not return.

Cheng Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind and asked Jin Feng, "How far is this from the Cold Night Camp?" ”

"Less than a hundred miles." Jin Feng replied, "What does the young master mean?"

"Besiege the city, let the people of the cold night camp fight the front. The people there were all from the military and well-trained, and the important thing was that they were originally felons, and if they were given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they would inevitably fight to the death in one go. If we can successfully penetrate behind the enemy, our army will take advantage of the weakness to cut off the supply of troops and food and grass in the city, and the people in the city will not last long. If you can't ......," Cheng Zheng clenched his fists, "it's not a pity for them to die." This is the way to send troops with the least damage to our army, what do you think the generals think? ”

The others discussed the pros and cons one by one, and finally agreed with each other.

Jin Feng rushed to the cold night camp overnight to lead the troops back, and after resting for two days, he put on his armor and went into battle. Jin Feng asked Cheng Zheng, "Young Master, the troops are going to be sent tonight, is it true that the young master has not seen a far-sighted letter?" ”

Cheng Zheng lowered his eyelashes, his face expressionless, "You sue him, and when he comes back, I will pick him up in person." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will go and assemble the whole team."

"Jin Feng," Cheng Zheng suddenly stopped him.

Jin Feng turned his head and waited for Cheng Zheng to speak.

Cheng Zheng said solemnly, "You and Yuanxin, you must return safely." ”

Jin Feng nodded deeply, "Yes." ”

Jin Feng led his troops to fight in the front, and General Liu then waited for the opportunity to move. Starting from the team, Cheng Zheng stood at the door of the tent and looked into the distance distractedly, and his hanging heart did not dare to let go for a moment.

He hasn't seen Yuanxin for two months, he doesn't know what kind of life Yuanxin has lived in the past two months, he doesn't know what Yuanxin is like now, he doesn't know if his skills have regressed, I don't know what he thinks in the past two months, and whether he has hatred.

Cheng Zheng lowered his head and looked at his right hand, his eyes were full of loneliness, I am far inferior to Jinfeng when I go into battle to kill the enemy, I pushed you into danger but I can't protect you, I also hate myself. How I wish I didn't have a wound on my hand, how I wish it was me who led you into battle this time, and how I wish I could fight side by side with you.

In the early hours of the morning, news finally came that the line behind the enemy had been cut off, and several other groups of men and horses gathered towards Fengyan City from all directions, and Fengyan City could be surrounded at dawn.

Cheng Zheng was finally relieved, he couldn't wait to fly over immediately, hug Yuanxin, and tell him, you did a good job, and my brother is proud of you. He walked impatiently around the camp until dawn, when Jin Feng returned to the camp with a small group of wounded, Cheng Zheng strode over, saw Jin Feng bleeding on his arm, and asked with concern, "Are you injured?" ”

Jin Feng didn't answer, Cheng Zheng glanced back, didn't see Yuanxin, and asked, "What about Yuanxin?" He's still behind the city, isn't he? ”

Jin Feng suddenly knelt down and said, "Lian Mo personally met the battle, and Yuanxin rushed to the front to go deep into the enemy's army, and his subordinates ......."

"Say the result!" Cheng Zheng interrupted sharply.

"Caught."

Cheng Zheng closed his eyes for a moment, nodded and said, "You go and bandage the wound." ”

Jin Feng wanted to say something, but Cheng Zheng didn't wait for him to open his mouth and turned back to the camp, he slapped it heavily on the table, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't sit still.

If we attack behind enemy lines at night, will Lian Mo be angry and execute the prisoners directly? Will Yuanxin be given a chance to speak? He wasn't sure if Lian Mo recognized Yuanxin, if he did, it was okay, if he didn't, how could Yuanxin protect himself? Will he be in danger? Will he come up with an idea? Will he ......

Cheng Zheng didn't dare to think about it, he only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and his mind was in chaos.

I'm going to save him, but now that the city has just been besieged, it's not the time for negotiations, and my anxious request for peace talks is undoubtedly a weakness that blows up my weakness. Don't you save it? But Yuanxin's life and death are uncertain now, how can I rest assured? Am I just going to wait? When the ammunition and food in the city run out, they can't guarantee that they won't kill the captives and share the food, how can they still keep the distant letter at that time? What am I going to do? How can I save him?

And in Fengyan City, Lian Mo, who was dressed in a majestic military costume and had heroic sword eyebrows and starry eyes, was sitting in the main hall drinking leisurely, looking very good.

The two soldiers came in with Yuanxin and replied, "Second Highness, someone has brought it." ”

Lian Mo waved his hand to signal them to go down, and walked leisurely in front of Yuanxin, who was tied up by five flowers, and called him with a smile, "Cheng Yuanxin." ”

Yuanxin asked nervously, "Who are you?" How do you recognize me? ”

Lian Mo pursed his lips and smiled, "It's really stupid, didn't you hear them call me Second Highness, I'm your cousin, Lian Mo, the second prince of Xichi." I heard that you came to the battlefield, so I came to meet you, how about it, are you happy? ”

Seeing that he had no intention of killing himself, Yuanxin calmed down a little, and scolded, "Happy uncle, you were captured in the enemy camp, are you happy?" ”

"Oh, that's so," Lian Mo reached out and pulled out a knife, cutting the rope from Yuanxin's body, "Come, let my cousin try your skills." ”

Yuanxin hurriedly pulled off the rope and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lian Mo calmly replied, "If you can win me, I will let you out." ”

"You, are you serious?"

Lian Mo smiled lightly, "My Second Highness, I still can't lie to you?" Do you want a sword? ”

"Yes!" Yuanxin said decisively.

Lian Mo returned to his seat and threw the sword to him, Yuanxin pulled out the sword, saw Lian Mo with his bare hands, and couldn't help but ask, "Don't you use weapons?" ”

Lian Mo said kindly, "When we met for the first time, it was not good to hurt you by mistake, and it hurt and anger." ”

Yuanxin suddenly affirmed an idea, "You have a secret weapon!" ”

Lian Mo seemed to hear a joke, and couldn't help laughing, "Make a move." ”

Yuanxin hit with a sword, Lian Mo dodged sideways, Yuanxin didn't have time to put away the sword, Lian Mo was already in front of Yuanxin in an instant, stuck his throat with one hand, and pinched his right wrist with the other. Lian Mo's arm was thick and powerful, Yuanxin's wrist hurt, and he frowned and gritted his teeth to insist that he didn't throw away the sword.

Lian Mo let go of his hand, Yuanxin left two depressions on his wrist, red and red, Lian Mo took a few steps back, "This move is to tell you, don't underestimate the enemy." ”

Yuanxin was frightened by him, and finally understood why he was so confident with his bare hands, this person's martial arts were simply unfathomable.

Yuanxin took a deep breath and sorted out his thoughts, and clenched his sword to attack. Yuanxin prepared carefully, and even Mo gradually used real moves, and after a few rounds, he did not see the strength or weakness. Yuanxin's sword hit directly, Lian Mo clamped his sword with both hands, Yuanxin couldn't move, Lian Mo turned his force, and the sword was taken away by Lian Mo.

Lian Mo threw his sword and returned to his seat, Yuanxin saw him turn around and slash his palm from behind, Lian Mo turned around and waved his hand, knocking Yuanxin to the ground.

Lian Mo sat down casually and commented, "The strength in your hand is not enough, the speed of the sword is not fast enough, and the change of moves is not flexible enough, your moves are very similar to Yuan Chen, but not one-tenth of his." ”

"Do you know Yuan Chen?" Yuanxin was taken aback, these two people were one in the west and the other in the southeast, how could they have communication?

"Acquaintance, old friend." Lian Mo poured a glass of wine, and saw Yuanxin looking at him blankly, thinking that he wanted to drink, and said dissatisfied, "What? Are you embarrassed to drink like this after practicing martial arts? ”

Yuanxin said disdainfully, "Cut, who wants to drink your wine, I'm afraid that you will poison me." I'm just surprised why you know Yuan Chen, and also, what does it mean that my martial arts practice is like this, I have only practiced martial arts for a few months, can it be compared to your skills in one or two decades? ”

Lian Mo asked rhetorically, "So you want me to praise you, you have such achievements in a few months, and your qualifications are extraordinary?" Promising? Will it become a great thing in time? ”

Yuanxin was angry, but he was helpless, he couldn't beat him, he squatted on the ground with his back to him, and said angrily, "Whatever you humiliate, my skills are not as good as others, and I have nothing to say." ”

"Angry? I'll just say a few words casually, you're too unmeasured. Come and talk to my cousin. ”

"Don't go!" Yuan Xin didn't reply, and said stubbornly, "Unless you tell me first, why do you know Yuan Chen?" ”

Lian Mo explained, "I have admired the name for a long time, so I have been to the meeting a few times, and he did not refuse to come, and he was easy-going, and then we got to know each other, occasionally learning martial arts, cooking wine and reciting poetry, that's all." ”

"," Yuanxin couldn't help but sigh, he suddenly felt that this battlefield was so unstrict, "Didn't he want to kill you?" ”

"We agreed not to kill people outside the battlefield, like you, and sneak attack."

"I ......" Yuanxin wanted to defend himself, but he knew that he was wrong, and replied weakly, "You didn't say that you can't sneak attack." ”

Lian Mo saw that he was squatting on the ground and was very depressed, and said to him, "If you are hungry, come and eat, lest Cheng Zheng come and say that I have neglected you." ”

When Yuanxin heard Cheng Zheng's name, he was immediately interested, strode over, sat opposite Lian Mo, and asked eagerly, "Will my brother come?" ”

"Don't worry, you're in my hands, can he not come?" Lian Mo handed him the chopsticks in front of him.

Yuanxin took the chopsticks suspiciously, hesitated to eat them, and said impatiently, "It's not poisonous, I'm not idle enough to be so idle, poison my own food." ”

Yuanxin smiled, approached a plate of vegetables and took a big bite into his mouth.

Lian Mo couldn't help but pout when he looked at him, "How long have you not eaten?" ”

"Two months!" Yuanxin's mouth was stuffed with food, he stretched his neck and swallowed, and after swallowing, he said, "I haven't eaten a full meal for two months, and when it's good, there's a little leftover soup to eat, and when it's bad, there's no leftovers." ”

Lian Mo couldn't believe it, "Cheng Zheng, he's just doing this to you?" ”

Yuanxin stuffed another mouthful of food into his mouth, "It turned out that it wasn't, I made a mistake, and he threw me to that ghost place in order to punish me." ”

Lian Mo shook his head, "Why is it too anxious." ”

Yuanxin rubbed his neck and asked, "Can you give me some water to drink?" I choked. ”

Lian Mo shouted to the outside world, "Come on, serve tea!" ”

Yuanxin suddenly found that there was a map of the deployment of troops in the city hanging behind Lian Mo, and couldn't help but glance up, but he was afraid that Lian Mo would find out about it, so he was very nervous and patted his chest to cover it.

And even indifferent to drinking, he didn't care.

A moment later, a soldier brought two cups of tea, Yuanxin took one cup and drank it all, then licked his lips and looked at the other cup with inexhaustibility, and said indifferently, "You drink." ”

"Thank you, cousin!" Yuanxin excitedly picked up another cup of tea, took a few breaths after drinking, and began to eat again.

Lian Mo was called his cousin by him, and said happily, "One meal was bought." ”

Yuanxin defended himself, "It's not a bribe, you were originally my cousin, and besides, I just called you cousin, and I didn't help you do anything, so it's not a collaboration with the enemy and treason." ”

Yuanxin was eating, and a small soldier came in at the door, "Second Highness, there is someone outside the city gate who asks to see him, claiming to be the siege lord general Cheng Zheng." ”

Yuanxin was pleasantly surprised, "My brother is here." ”

Lian Mo was calm, and raised his eyebrows, "Oh? I'm here so soon, and I seem to be really worried about you. ”

Yuanxin put down his chopsticks, "I'm going to see my brother." ”

"Stop!" Lian Mo stopped him sharply, completely losing the kindness just now, "Don't forget that you are my prisoner!" ”

Lian Mo instructed the soldiers to let Cheng Zheng in, and then said to Yuanxin, "You go down, I have something to talk about with Cheng Zheng." ”

Yuanxin said nervously, "What is your idea?" What do you want? ”

"Come on, tie him up for me!" (To be continued.) )
