Arriving at Taihang Pass ahead of schedule but without any news of the army for several days, Shao Yi and Feng Luotang spent two days of leisure.

On this day, Feng Luotang finally couldn't help it. "Young master, we can't wait like this. Why don't you open an enchantment, let's go over there and have a look? Feng Luotang said with a smile.

Shao Yi turned around and glanced at the Zhao army sergeants who were resting. After two days of rest and physical replenishment, they have gradually recovered their morale and combat effectiveness.

Shao Yi turned his head and blinked, and said, "It's not impossible, but it's ......"

"Can you not seize the opportunity to make conditions?" Feng Luotang interrupted him.

"What conditions did I mention?" Shao Yixin said that I wanted to mention a lot, but I didn't dare to say it. "I mean, we have to go back quickly."

"That's fine. I promise to come back with one look. Feng Luotang smiled.

"Then you went to see Li Luotang's father first? Or go to Brother Yu and Brother Hei? ”

"Of course it's Brother Yu and Brother Hei!"

After Long Xuanchen came back from winning the first battle, there were beaming faces everywhere, but Lin Yu still had Gujing Wubo's expression.

The two tacitly collided their right fists, and the pressure in their hearts was not relieved at all.

Lin Yu whispered, "One day." Your hard work has earned us at least a day. ”

The overwhelming rain poured down, and Gongzi Jia also withdrew from the city.

Seeing Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen's fist clashing and whispering from a distance, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a playful look.

The Qiu family's compound was set up as a temporary command site. Generals and officials at all levels gathered here to discuss the matter.

Most people thought that the heavy rain would cause a temporary truce between the two sides, but Gongzijia still had to guard the defenders from a sneak attack by the Qin army in the rain.

"Arrange for the sergeants to change their guards every three hours. Don't slack off. Gongzi Jia commanded.

Although he is no longer the crown prince, the identity of the royal family's concubine makes him still obedient to orders in this small fat city.

The veteran Tan Yi didn't express any opinions, and then got up and said:

"There are no mountains and forests around the city. The walls could only be reinforced with rammed earth or masonry.

The Qin army attacked the city, there were long-range catapults, and there were ladders. As long as the Qin army is allowed to attack the city, it will be difficult to hold the city.

Therefore, the only way to keep the fat tired from being breached is to block the Qin army at a safe distance three miles from the city. ”

"But fighting in the wilderness is not good for Zhao's army." Tan Yi changed his words and said:

"The Qin army has hundreds of military vehicles. Cavalry, infantry, and chariots are well coordinated. Although it is better to go out of the city to block the enemy than to defend the city, it is still difficult and the chances of victory are not great. ”

Gongzijia was also a little hesitant when he heard this.

Lin Yu whispered beside him: "What the old general said is extremely true. The Qin army is three times as large as ours. At present, the 2,000 soldiers defending the city plus General Long have less than 10,000 people. The Qin army besieged the city with as many as 30,000 people. ”

He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said slowly: "I'm afraid I can only use the strategy of suspicious soldiers." ”

He didn't go on to say how this suspicious plan was used. Tan Yi and Gongzi Jia both looked at him in confusion. The atmosphere in the room was a bit dreary.

When it was getting late, Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen returned to the clean place and stood in front of the window together, looking at the pouring rain outside, helpless.

In fact, what Lin Yu said about the suspicious plan was nothing more than that he thought of a magic circle that he had learned.

This is the magic of the 'Yin Soldier Crossing' taught to him by the Taoist fat master, and it is very laborious to cast. Lin Yu has not practiced it, so he is not sure.

However, it was difficult for the Qin army to fully believe in the sight of the 'Yin soldiers transiting'. Because the clothes worn by this Yin soldier are not similar to Zhao Jun, at most they play a role in muddying the water.

Lin Yu was pondering, and suddenly saw a cloud of light and shadow appear in the rain like a water curtain under the eaves of the courtyard.

The raindrops that fell around instantly evaporated in the fluctuation of light and shadow, turning into a cloud of water vapor and mist, and a yard of smoke and clouds rose.

Long Xuanchen's back was straight, and as soon as the Kun Xuan Sword was about to be unsheathed, he saw the giggling Shao Yi and Feng Luotang walking out of the light and shadow.

Feng Luotang shouted: "Brother Yu, Brother Hei, let's still miss you!" Think of me? At the same time, he bumped Shao Yi with his elbow.

Shao Yi happily took down all the things hanging on his chest and back: "Look at the pheasant, hare, and pheasant we brought...... This bird is very beautiful, I haven't seen it, I don't know what it's called. ”

He piled up this pile of Taihang native products in the room, clapped his hands and said, "Oh, there is also a little wild boar." ”

Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen were genuinely happy to see the two, and hurriedly pulled them to sit down.

Feng Luotang said: "You have a room and a bed to sleep in." Don't you know, the mountain is high, the road is difficult, the water is deep! I have suffered for eight lifetimes in Taihang Mountain! ”

"I haven't seen you thin!" Shao Yi muttered in a low voice, and was slapped by Feng Luotang.

Shao Yi said to Lin Yu: "Brother Yu, fortunately, we have arrived at the designated place. This time, thankfully, we were ...... in the mountains."

"Wait, wait. This paragraph must be said. Feng Luotang interrupted Shao Yi, and then talked about how he met Master Chengyi, how he was abused by the snake array, and how he got the sword of the dragon.

Shao Yi also elaborated on the method of driving the dragon phase and summoning the natal beast.

The other three listened carefully, and Feng Luotang couldn't wait to summon the magic of the divine beast.

I saw the white jade bracelet on her wrist shining with a golden light. In front of their eyes, they saw a small white dragon less than a foot long flying in the air.

The little white dragon was snow-white, with scales trimmed with gold, and a pair of eyes as red and crystal as jewels, and extremely beautiful.

Shao Yi also summoned Qiu Zi. The crimson dragon saw the little white dragon in an emergency stop in the air, and was immediately stupid on the spot.

A dragon's mouth could no longer be closed, and the two black dragon's eyes were almost falling to the ground.

The green boy summoned by Lin Yu was very calm when he came out. His horns hadn't fully grown, except for two small bulges on his head.

Qingzai drew a circle in the air, leaving a green light, flew to Qiuzi's side, and said with a light bump with the dragon's tail:

"Can you keep your mouth shut? Is your expression now telling me that you won't play with me again? ”

Qiu Zi tried several times and didn't close his mouth completely. He cocked the dragon's tail and pointed to the little white dragon, and said vaguely to Qingzai, "Ask what the name is." ”

Qingzai asked very graciously.

The little white dragon turned his head to look at Feng Luotang, as if to say, "Sister, what's my name."

Feng Luotang thought for a while and said affirmatively: "You are called Cicada." You can use my old nickname. No one calls me that anymore. ”

The little white dragon turned around and seriously told the little red dragon Qiu Zi and the little green dragon Qingzai that her name was "Cicada".

Qiu Zi and Qing Tsai each reported their names. Three small dragons rattled and rolled in the air.

Long Xuanchen touched the pterosaur carved with black jade on his wrist, somewhat envious.

Feng Luotang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Brother Hei, we have seen your little dragon in the Cloud Cave Enchantment. But it's still a ball. ”

Long Xuanchen smiled and waved his hand and said, "I have to get it back and raise it quickly." In the kind of deserted place you describe, even if it is hatched for 108,000 years, it will not break out of the shell. ”

Avoiding the three noisy little dragons, Lin Yu told Shao Yi and Feng Luotang what had happened in Feilei City in the past few days, and then also told him that he planned to cast a spell to set up a 'Yin Soldier Crossing'.

Shao Yi thought for a while and said, "Maybe Brother Yu and I can cooperate." ”

I thought it was a storm, but I didn't expect it to rain for two days and two nights.

Zhao Jun spent his time in anxiety.

While digging trenches, setting up roadblocks and reinforcing the city defenses, the fat garrison prepared a large amount of wood and stone to make rolling wood and thunder stones to defend against the siege.

As soon as the heavy rain stopped on the morning of the third day, the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State moved impatiently.

No less than 300 sturdy chariots were drawn by two horses, two horses, and four horses drove steadily into the battlefield.

The cavalry and infantry are in distinct formations. The weapons were cold and shiny, reflecting patches of white light in the morning glow.

The siege equipment, trebuchets, and ladders that had been rapidly advanced into the ranks of the army had already been prepared, and they were slowly advancing with the army to the foot of the fat city.

The movement of the Qin army, the Zhao army could see clearly in the city. The big war is imminent, and the fat city is waiting for it.

Lin Yu only left Long Xuanchen to follow Gongzi Jia's family, and before leaving, he quietly handed a talisman drawn in advance to Long Xuanchen and said:

When Gongzi Jia stood at the head of the city, he quietly pasted this talisman behind him. This talisman will protect him from stray arrows. You can stand within a foot of him, and you can be carefree. ”

Long Xuanchen nodded, still those four words: "Brother Yu, don't worry." ”

The fat city is divided in an orderly manner.

First of all, the young men in the city who still have the strength to fight are organized into a militia, and stones, stones, and timber are collected and transported to the city;

Forming young women into 'healthy women's groups' to help deliver grain, grass and food;

Then let the military doctor take the lead, and the city general Lang Zhong, the pharmacy shopkeeper and his men organized to find a clean mansion and set up a temporary place for the wounded to be treated;

Finally, try to find a hidden and strong place in the city, and arrange for the old and weak women and children to take shelter from the fighting.

These orders were all ordered by Gongzi Jia at the head of the city one by one in an orderly manner.

All the details were the result of his discussion with the Dragon General beside him.

Long Xuanchen's meticulousness made Gongzi Jia look at this fierce general with admiration, and said in his heart that if this is the case, why is Zhao Guo invincible.

He didn't know Long Xuanchen's true mind and identity, and he only kept praising General Long's suggestions.

An hour later, the Qin soldiers advanced five miles. A burst of long-range crossbow bolts rang out, announcing the official start of the siege.

According to the battle strategy of the old general Tan Yi, the Zhao army arranged all the chariots in the city with a total of more than 50 vehicles, all of which were arranged in a position three miles outside the city.

In front of the chariot were the Zhao crossbow archers in a cascading formation, holding wide bronze shields, waiting for the Qin army to enter the firing range, and then shooting a rain of arrows like bees flying down, holding no move to resist the advance of the Qin army.

Dozens of war drums of the Qin army sounded, and the horns were high-pitched. The brave soldiers began their first charge amid thunderous shouts of slaughter.

The absolute superiority in numbers and the unstoppable high morale made the Qin army roar towards the Zhao army and the fat city like a huge wave of black pressure and overwhelming mountains.

The Zhao army that resisted at the front was almost more than half of all the defenders in the fat city, but there were only four or five thousand people.

After several rounds of tug-of-war between the two sides, charging and resisting, the distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing.

Qin's offensive continued.

The Zhao army relied on trenches and barricades to put up a desperate resistance.

The old general Tan Yi held a bronze cloud-headed bird's head pattern broadsword, standing motionless like a mountain on a solid chariot in the middle.

Eight flag-hailing soldiers waved the command flag around to give the order.

The front three rows of bronze shield soldiers blocked the enemy's incoming arrows.

His eyes were resolute and sharp, his thick hands grasped the hilt of his sword, his muscles exposed, and he gave loud and concise commands from his mouth, calmly controlling the rhythm of the battle.

The herald flag bearers constantly change the various flags in their hands and command the team to change formations.

Three rows of crossbowmen rotated in turn, firing feathered arrows at the attacking Qin army.

The Qin army had also already observed this command chariot located in the rear of the Zhao army.

A large number of feather arrows shot towards Tan Yi's chariot like a rain of wind and rain, and they were as tight as a burst.

Tan Yi waved his war knife to hit the feather arrows in the air, and continued to order Zhao Jun not to retreat an inch.

The three rows of bronze shield soldiers in front of the car were shot by feather arrows at any time and fell to the ground, and other soldiers next to them quickly filled the gap and raised the copper shield high.

Suddenly, a stray arrow struck a shield soldier in the neck with a whistling "pass". The soldier's blood splattered and fell backwards.

At this moment, seven or eight feathered arrows shot in at the same time from the gap that appeared in this instant.

Tan Yi slashed with the big knife in his hand, and the feather arrows fell one after another, but there was still a powerful long arrow "bang" into his left shoulder.

He slammed backwards and almost fell, but immediately stabilized his body, raised his right hand broadsword, and "clicked" the handle of the exposed long-feathered arrow.

He slammed his knife on the ground, quickly raised the knife again, and shouted, "Wei crossbow team, prepare the wind arrows." ”

The green flag next to him waved three times, and the front team of the Zhao army quickly changed the queue.

People are constantly getting shots. But the feather arrows shot by Zhao Jun did not decrease. No one retreated.

Gongzijia stood at the head of the city without panic, and ordered the installation of rattan carts to pull the wounded soldiers on the front line back to the city gate one by one.

When the rattan carts entered the city, they were all filled with feathered arrows like hedgehogs.

The young men in the city quickly snatched back the wounded soldiers and sent them to a temporary treatment site.

The Qin army's offensive did not stop, and under the cover of dense feathered arrows, the forward troops attacked the front in one foot.

Before breaking through the trenches and roadblocks set up by Zhao, Qin's most powerful cavalry troops had not yet launched an assault, and were ready to attack behind the dense layers of infantry and chariots.

The battle escalated as the smell of blood began to fill the two camps, and tensions grew.

Li Mu sat alone in the tent, feeling very uncomfortable with the quiet after the sudden departure of the generals.

It was as if an invisible pressure had just gathered in this small space, and he was tightened so tightly that his chest was tight.

The argument between the generals in the tent just now is about to overturn the top of this tent.

Now the sudden silence has added a little uncertainty to his originally very firm mood.

On the handsome case, there are several thick stacks of military battle reports from Fat Tired City, and the last page is the handwriting of Tan Yi, the fat and tired commander, with only five big words: "Fat and dangerous, quick help!" ”

Whether to rescue the fat tired, the generals of the various ministries are almost a little one-sided.

If the fat is lost, the Qin army can not only knock on the door to Handan, but also directly cut off the connection between the Zhao army and the Handan defenders, adding considerable difficulty to the future battle.

Therefore, the generals of all departments unanimously asked the rapid army to go to the rescue of the fat tired, so as not to fall into a passive battle situation for the Zhao army.

"Tan Yi." Li Mu thought silently: "You old guy has to give me a few more days." ”

Tan Yi is a veteran who followed Li Mu from the Xiongnu battlefield.

He took the lead several times, charged into battle, was hit by the Huns' wolf fangs and arrows, and was beaten by the Hu people's sharp swords.

But he survived.

Another time on the battlefield, Tan Yi drove a galloping horse to crash into the enemy in order to save Li Mu, and he fell eight feet away, almost not even finding his soul.

Later, he lay in the barracks for three months before he regained his broadsword.

It's really a brave general, and it shocks the north.

But this time, the general Li Mu knew that he was determined not to move.

It's useless for anyone to say.

The voices of questioning, complaining, and even the roaring voices of veterans who were born and died did not make Li Mu nod his head.

Li Mu looked down at the word "quick aid" a little gloomily.

If it was a life-and-death struggle, the one who made the first move would have already lost.

Meng Chen went to attack fat and was tired, so he moved first.

If Zhao Jun also moved, he would go to save the fat. Then the tide of battle will be reversed.

The person who lost was him, Li Mu, and it was Zhao Jun.

But if you don't save it, can Tan Yi's guy be so lucky every time?

Marching to fight, Ci does not lead troops.

Li Mu had never thought of Tan Yi, a veteran, in his mind like today, and he thought of it so much.

But he also thought of the strength of Qin's 150,000-strong army, and the King of Qin's gaze at Handan's eagle falcon every day.

How many days can a little fat last?

Li Mu is waiting.

He gritted his back teeth and remained silent, pursing his lips as he waited.
