The third volume fights wits and courage to stick to the fat city, and the spy network finds out the assassin Xin Chapter 25 The first battle
Childe Jia sat comfortably in the dimly lit workshop, with a pottery bowl next to him. He picked it up and took a sip of water.
During the day, Gongzijia needs to stand at the head of the city and watch the enemy's formation. Because Gongsun Zhi insisted that "one hand is soft, and the other hand is hard." "And Childe Jia's identity is a killer weapon to deter the enemy.
Gongzijia was not only not panicked and angry about being trapped in the fat city, but was secretly happy that he could finally participate in a battle to protect the country, and was glad that his young man's enthusiasm, sincerity, courage and intelligence were finally useful.
Gongsun Zhi's other hand is "soft", which is actually a secret fight with the invisible light of Yangdu Pavilion.
This pottery workshop is not large. The heat from the pottery furnace in the back made it dry and hot, as if the scorching summer of July had arrived early.
Gongzijia is very glad that he was careful and saved the whole plan without falling short.
After Fan Qiu was escorted down that day, he stared at the fragments of Tao Huzi on the ground, thought silently for a while, and beckoned two subordinates to come in and put away all the fragments.
The people stayed up all night to slowly glue the Tao Huzi, and then carefully compared the broken Huzi with the Huzi on the cart. It turned out to be a small difference.
There is a small seal at the bottom of the broken tiger, and there is only the word "Handan" written on it. Usually all pottery made by a regular workshop is stamped with the stamp "Handan Pavilion", because the Handan Pavilion is the official market management body, and these clay products are taxed and sold to manage them. Therefore, the signature on the pottery products is mostly the word "Handan Pavilion".
However, there is no word "pavilion" on this tiger, only the word "Handan", and the word "Dan" in this "Handan" is missing a little on the upper right side. These are difficult to spot without looking closely, and will make people think that the imprint is rough and miss that point.
But in fact, there is indeed a missing cut. This discovery shocked Childe Jia's heart.
He quickly found the best local potter and copied the word "Handan" on the clay tiger to make sure that there was no difference. Then, the most skilled pottery workshop is fired.
At this time, he was sitting in the clay workshop as an overseer. There were no less than a hundred tigers fired this time, but Gongzi Jia would use at least three of them immediately.
One will be sent to the old man Bai, the owner of the oil mill. Old man Bai had already been caught from the villagers who had fled the famine the day before yesterday, and he continued to sell oil in the oil mill after waiting for his life to survive.
The other was sent to a tea shed on the side of the road.
The owner of the tea shed has opened again in the past two days, but there are two more sturdy guys in the shop. It is said that the nephews who fled from the countryside came to help in the tea shed.
The third one, Gongzijia pondered for a moment and continued to think, he was going to bring back Handan, where the luxury carriage drove last.
I'm afraid that in Handan, the royal capital, such an inconspicuous tiger may come in handy with some unexpected use.
Meng Chen only suffered from gains and losses in his main tent for one afternoon. That night, he decided to lead his army to attack the city of Fat the next day.
Meng Chen thought that no matter how many Zhao troops there were in the city, he would break through the city and enter it.
The reason is simple, the military order is like a mountain. The general entrusted him with the task of attacking the fat city, so naturally he could not retreat in the face of difficulties.
So the next morning, as soon as the sky was hazy, Meng Chen ordered troops and beat drums and lined up under the fat city.
10,000 people, lined up, the momentum is huge.
Meng Chen ordered the sergeants to curse loudly, shouting one after another, and the sound shook the field.
As dedicated as he is Gongzi Jia. The first morning light of the sun hit the city, and Gongzi Jia was already in a brocade robe and embroidered robe, standing proudly on top of the fat city wall.
The two armies of Qin and Zhao were separated by a trench and engaged in a verbal war of insults against each other outside the range of the attack of the arrow crossbow.
Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen stood majestically behind Gongzijia.
The surrounding generals secretly admired that the two young men were really well-cultivated, and the city government was deep, and in the face of such insults from the Qin army, they could remain silent.
How did they know that these two were really based on their incomprehension of the slang of the Qin dialect, and they almost couldn't understand Qin Bing's scolding formation at all, so they could look as usual, calm down, and suppress Gongzijia's formation.
For a whole day, Zhao Jun cooperated with a few sprays of saliva, and he remained still.
Meng Chen was really tired of scolding, turned back to the main tent to rest, and saw Fan Yuzhi still sitting there in a weird manner, drinking his tea.
Meng Chen didn't dare to offend the Pavilion Master.
He asked respectfully: "In the opinion of the Pavilion Master, why did Zhao Jun refuse to go to war?" Could it be that they are so large and general, that they are afraid that we will not succeed? ”
Fan Yuzhi shook his head and said meaningfully: "They are the same as Li Mu's strategy. You see that the pioneer officer General Han Cheng has not been scolding under Gaocheng City for many days, and he has not seen any action from Li Mu. ”
"The rash siege of the city is too heavy. General Meng," Fan Yu confessed:
"The general thought that he could 'encircle the point and send reinforcements', and lured Li Mulai's main force to rescue the fat and tired to the wilderness to fight a decisive battle with our army. But unexpectedly, they had already been prepared, and the 50,000 soldiers in the fat city made us dare not attack the city easily. ”
"How dare not!" Meng Chen couldn't suppress his temper anymore, raised his voice and said: "There are many examples of winning more with less. In my opinion, the fat city is as weak as an egg, and it is vulnerable. If Zhao Jun only relies on the large number of people and waits for work, and nothing else, it is better for us to attack hard as soon as possible and take down the fat. ”
Fan Yuzhi didn't have any emotion in his eyes, but he glanced at Meng Chen with the eyes of an idiot in his heart, and said, "But it's up to the general's arrangement." I can't say much about military warfare. ”
Meng Chen said in his heart, it's useless for you to say anything. The city will be attacked early tomorrow morning. If the Zhao army does not meet the battle, it will die and attack fat, and win with bravery.
The next day, the sky was overcast. Large clusters of cumulonimbus clouds delayed dawn by an hour.
Although it was expected that heavy rain would come, Meng Chen still did not change his strategy, ordering troops at the end of the day, lining up at the time of the hour, and approaching the fat and tired city.
The soldiers of the front team of the Qin soldiers were still scolding loudly, and the rear team was already arranging the ladder chariot in an orderly manner, ready to attack the city at any time.
Lin Yu and Long Xuanchen in the city could see it clearly.
Lin Yu said to Gongzi Jia: "The enemy is now in full swing. At this time, if our side does not move repeatedly, we are afraid that the enemy will not be able to bear the strength to attack in a hurry. Why don't we also engage in a battle for a while, and give him a dismount first, so that they don't dare to act rashly. ”
Gongzijia nodded yes, and turned his head to look at General Tan Yi, the defender of Feilei City.
General Tan is a veteran with a lot of experience. He also felt that if he could fight for a while and take the initiative to go out of the city to meet the enemy, it was the only way to strike at the enemy's sharp spirit and prevent the Qin soldiers from attacking the city immediately.
It's just that this time you can only win and not lose.
General Tan did not hesitate, clasped his hands into fists and said to Gongzi Jia, "Please allow the last general to go to the battle." ”
When Gongzi Jia was hesitating, Long Xuanchen also clenched his fists and said, "Childe, the first battle is the heaviest!" Or the last general to take over. ”
Gongzi Jia Su knows the swordsmanship of General Long, and he has the essence of Gai Nie.
It's just that I'm worried that General Long has little battlefield experience, and I don't know if he can beat the battle-hardened veteran of the Qin army on the battlefield with real swords and guns.
Lin Yu saw that Gongzi Jia was still hesitating, and said from the side: "General Long is a good strategy to fight this first battle.
First, General Long has never appeared in a big battle, and his martial arts are superb, and he is bound to deter the enemy in a battle;
Second, General Long is the personal army of Gongzi, and the first battle will make the enemy believe that we have a large army from Wang Cheng as the backing;
Third, General Long has never lost the Kun Gong Sword in his hand, and if he wins the first battle, it can greatly demoralize the enemy. I asked my son to allow him to fight. ”
When Gongzijia heard this, he glanced at Long Xuanchen with confidence and said, "Then there is General Lao Long." Be careful! ”
Lin Yu rode his horse to send Long Xuanchen to the city gate, took advantage of the unpreparedness, and whispered with concern in his eyes: "Xuanchen, act when you see the opportunity." If something doesn't happen, quickly recite the dream mantra. Everything is with me, and there is no need to force it. ”
Long Xuanchen smiled slightly, his sword eyebrows raised, and his amber pupils were full of sincerity.
He clenched his right hand into a fist, stretched out the back of his hand upward, and punched Lin Yu, only saying four words: "Brother Yu, don't worry." ”
Then, with a flick of the reins, the horses galloped towards the slowly open gates.
The sky grew darker and darker.
Qin Jun was unexpectedly surprised to see that the gate of Fat City was actually opened. Riding a blue and white war horse, carrying a young general to lead the army out of front of the battle.
Behind Long Xuanchen was the team of 2,000 people carefully selected by his guerrilla general to escort Gongzi Jia.
They all have bright armor, fat horses, and Zhao Guo's scimitar in their hands, majestic, lined up, and the guards are on Long Xuanchen's left and right.
Seeing Zhao Guo coming out of battle, some people in the Qin army camp couldn't hold it back. That is Bai Li, a veteran who has participated in several Qin and Zhao battles.
Bai Li is no longer confused by his age, but he is still strong and healthy. Everyone inside and outside the army knew that he was short-tempered, and he hated to be mentioned by others about his age.
Bai Li veteran has a spear, which is infinitely powerful and invincible on the battlefield, and is called "a strong spear" by the Qin army.
Bai Li scolded for two days in a row, and he had been anxious for a long time, and when he saw that Zhao Jun would take over the first battle in the future, he couldn't help but grab the merit of the first battle.
He quickly turned his horse and jumped out of the camp and pleaded with Meng Chen: "The last general is willing to go." I am willing to repay the victory of the first battle of the Qin army. ”
Meng Chen bowed slightly, and agreed to Bai Li's request with great grace.
Bai Li jumped into battle with a spear.
Beat the horse to ten steps away from Long Xuanchen, and shouted: "Come and report your name." ”
Long Xuanchen only replied simply: "Zhao State guerrilla general Long Chen." ”
Then he did not reply, but raised his sword, clamped the horse's belly, and drove his horse forward to fight.
The veteran Bai Li was taken aback, and thought: "Don't ask me who my surname is, just cut it with a knife, so I don't have any education." ”
While thinking that the child should be taught the rules, he hurriedly raised the gun horizontally, ready to take it.
Long Xuanchen's horse is approaching. With the kung fu of the two horses and one wrong stirrup, the long sword had already pierced Bai Li's chest.
Bai Li's spear blocked. Who knew that Long Xuanchen's sword was originally a false move, and with a slight shake, he changed his move and stabbed at Bai Li's neck.
Bai Li hurriedly grabbed the horse's belly and shook off half of the horse's body, which was able to dodge.
But Long Xuanchen's sword was as fast as the wind, and he swept a sword with a flick of his wrist.
Bai Li had a bad heart, so he hid in a stirrup, and almost let the long sword of the flat sweep wipe his chest.
After three moves, he already knew that he was not an opponent, and wanted to find an opportunity to force a shot, but unexpectedly, Long Xuanchen's sword blade suddenly fell downward, like a silver waterfall, and slashed at his chest and abdomen lying flat on horseback.
Bai Li knew that it would be difficult to dodge at this time, so he left the stirrup with both feet, rolled backwards, and fell straight from the horse's buttocks to the ground.
This sword man dodged, but the horse didn't, and it slashed directly at the war horse. The horse screamed and fell to the ground.
Bai Li was about to get up, and the tip of Long Xuanchen's sword was already pointing at his throat.
Zhao Jun's own soldiers came up to wipe his arms, tied him with a thick rope, and quickly dragged him to the Zhao army's camp.
That Bai Li went into battle, but it was a father and son soldier.
Seeing that their father was defeated in three moves, the two sons were defeated by the horse, and were captured by the Zhao army.
These two sons inherited their father's business, and they both made a powerful iron spear, one on the left and one on the right, stabbing straight at Long Xuanchen.
Long Xuanchen was not flustered. He jumped on the horse, protected his long sword in front of his chest, parryed the tips of the incoming spears left and right, and then suddenly jumped up from the horse, and the long sword was pointed directly at the white boss.
The white boss is making a move to provoke the flying dragon Xuanchen.
Long Xuanchen raised his body, took advantage of the momentum to tiptoe a little on the barrel of the gun, and rose into the air, and another harrier turned over, and when it fell quickly, the tip of the sword pointed at the back of the neck of the white boss.
Boss Bai broke out in a cold sweat and quickly turned around with his gun to block. How do you know that Long Xuanchen changed his moves in the air, and changed the sword at the next point to a horizontal split.
Boss Bai couldn't hide from it.
The second eldest of the Bai family roared and rushed up to save the eldest brother, but it was too late to change in an instant.
What people didn't expect was that Long Xuanchen's sweeping sword did not make the sword edge, but only used a slam on the back of the sword to slap the white boss off the horse.
Bai Lao Er hurriedly shouted "Big Brother", and rushed forward to block Long Xuanchen forward with a gun to prevent him from mending the sword again.
Long Xuanchen turned back to the horse and stood side by side with him, and his sword was like a dragon, and his sword was sharpened like the wind.
Bai Lao Er is not an opponent, under a few swords, the spear cannot be blocked, and he flies out of his hand.
He was about to flee back to the Qin array on horseback, when he saw Long Xuanchen slash his sword horizontally and pierce it into the horse's belly.
The sore front hooves of the war horse rose into the air, throwing the white second er, who had no head to run, under the horse.
Zhao Jun came over and tied up the two defeated generals of Bai Boss and Bai Lao Er, and captured them back to Zhao Jun's camp.
At this moment, the cheers of the Zhao army were thunderous, the flags were shaking, and even the soldiers full of soldiers on the city also let out a sky-shattering cheering shout.
Long Xuanchen didn't speak, with the horizontal sword in his hand, standing on his horse, staring at the other party's Qin army, just waiting for someone to call for the battle.
There was a moment of silence in the Qin army. Meng Chen was shocked. In the first burst, three generals were broken. On the one hand, he complained in his heart that the veteran Bai Li didn't know the severity, and he really deserved to die if he lost this first while; While looking left and right, he wanted to pick someone who could fight and send it out.
At this time, a young general in the Qin army carried his horse out of the queue. Meng Chen saw that it was Guo Teng, the general of the army.
This Guo Teng was originally from a civil official family, but since he was a child, he has visited famous mountains everywhere and learned the martial arts of many families, not only is he a master of art, but also resourceful.
In the last battle of Yi'an, he rose to prominence and was promoted to general by Huan Qi.
Guo Teng knew that it was very important to attack Feiti City this time, so he invited himself to come.
Seeing that this was the time to use the general, Guo Teng took the initiative to fight against Long Xuanchen.
Guo Teng has always been cautious.
Although he didn't know much about this young general surnamed Long of Zhao Guo, from the battle array just now, Long Xuanchen's martial arts were far above him.
But fighting is morale. If Zhao Jun is allowed to thwart his own prestige, the subsequent battles will not be so smooth.
So Guo Teng thought to himself, what kind of strategy must be used to trap this young general of Zhao Guo to Ma Qian.
Before he left the battle, he whispered to Meng Chen: "I will be defeated within three moves." When the horse escapes back, please shoot it in front of the battle without sparing a rain of arrows. ”
After finishing speaking, he clamped the horse's belly, and the wind was like a gallop, and he rushed straight to Long Xuanchen.
Guo Teng made a pair of silver hammers, and when he approached Long Xuanchen, he didn't say a word, and swung the hammer to fight.
Long Xuanchen dodged Guo Teng's first move by mistake, and wiped the sword towards the back of his heart.
Guo Teng leaned forward to dodge the sword, but saw that the sword that was obviously roaring forward was coming back backwards.
Guo Teng turned to one side, freed up the hammer in his right hand, and smashed it straight at Long Xuanchen's head.
Long Xuanchen leaned down, poured dragon qi into the tip of the sword, and slammed the flying silver hammer from the bottom up.
Guo Teng's silver sledgehammer flew into the air.
Long Xuanchen jumped up from the horse's back again, took a step forward in the air, grabbed the downward downward silver hammer and pressed it down.
This move is not Gai Nie's sword move, but Long Xuanchen's air walking slam dunk.
The silver hammer smashed straight at the top of Guo Teng's head. Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Guo Teng threw out another silver hammer and rolled off his horse, running back with his life.
But the first silver hammer had already arrived, and although it did not hit Guo Teng, it smashed on the head of his war horse impartially. The war horse's brain suddenly burst out, and he pounced sideways, and his breath fell to the ground.
Long Xuanchen slammed another silver hammer with his sword. The sledgehammer popped straight out and hit Guo Teng's back as he ran back.
Guo Teng spurted out a mouthful of blood, ran a few more steps by inertia, and finally fell to the ground.
As soon as Meng Chen saw Guo Teng retreating, he knew that it was too late to let go of the arrow, so he shouted "let go of the arrow".
But because Long Xuanchen did not chase after him, the range was too far, and when the feather arrow flew, Long Xuanchen had already turned around and returned to the Zhao army's camp.
While releasing arrows, Zhao Jun escorted Long Xuanchen to retreat into the city gate, and then the whole army quickly withdrew to the city and closed the city gate.
This time, three prisoners and one wounded. Long Xuanchen won a big victory.
The drums beat in the fat city, and the morale was greatly boosted.
Meng Chen asked someone to snatch Guo Teng back. Guo Teng was seriously injured and couldn't speak.
The generals of the Qin army were furious and asked for an immediate siege of the city.
At this moment, the pouring rain poured down.
Meng Chen waved his hand with the rain on his face, commanded loudly, and Mingjin withdrew his troops.
