Explorers in the city sent an urgent report, saying that Xiao Yu, the general of Pakistan, had surrendered. Sima Cuo received an urgent report from the explorer and said: "Xiao Yu is a veteran of the battlefield of Pakistan, and he has been in battle for a long time, if Xiao Yu surrenders to Qin, my Great Qin will be like a tiger with wings, and it will not be difficult to defeat Bashu." ”

"General, be careful that this Xiao Yu is a fraud."

"Xiao Yu brought the soldiers to surrender, how could it be a fraudulent surrender? Even the general has a way to deceive the general. Go, out of the camp tent to meet General Xiao. ”

Sima Cuo led all the soldiers out of the camp to meet General Xiao. General Xiao got off his horse and knelt down and said, "General Sima," the generals behind him knelt down in front of Sima Cuo.

"General Xiao, please get up," Sima Cuo stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Yu, helped Xiao Yu up, and all the soldiers behind him stood up. Sima Cuo led Xiao Yu into his camp tent and said: "General Xiao has made great achievements in Pakistan, why did he choose to surrender?" ”

"Gongzi Qi is afraid that we, the generals, will have self-respect and threaten the imperial court, saying that it is for the sake of reform or the chaos of the bandits to transfer the elite of the Sword Pavilion and monopolize the military power. Our generals were therefore not convinced, so they plotted to rebel and ask for an explanation, who knew that Wei Hongce did not know his workaround, and stubbornly wanted to kill the last general, and it was some generals around the last general who saved the last general's life and was able to escape. ”

"I see that General Xiao has an injury on his body, go into the camp to rest, and recuperate well."

"It doesn't matter if the last general is injured, the last general has a suggestion, go all out to attack the city, otherwise Gongzi Qi's reinforcements will not be able to attack the city if we want to."

"Good strategy, General Xiao will enter his camp first to rest, and the general can work hard all the way to recuperate."

Xiao Yu walked out of Sima Cuo's tent, looked inside the tent, hesitated for a while to look at the guards on both sides of the camp gate, slowly turned around and left, and returned to his own tent. Some generals gathered in front of Sima Cuo and said, "General, do you think there will be fraud?" ”

"I don't think there will be fraud, and when I come back, I will know if this Xiao Yu has surrendered, and if it is a fraud, he will get rid of it without leaving any trouble."

At dawn, Sima Coo walked into his tent, the sun rose over the mountain, and he felt that this winter was a little warm. gathered some generals in his camp tent, and said: "Last night, I came to report carefully, the city of Sword Pavilion is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, and also said some things about General Xiao, General Xiao conspired to rebel for Gongzi Qi to transfer away the elite division in Sword Pavilion City, and other things such as banditry or reform, it seems that I have wronged the general." The city is full of some old, weak, sick and disabled people guarding the Sword Pavilion, we should send troops in time to attack the Sword Pavilion with all our might, strive to capture the Sword Pavilion in three days, and plant the banner of Great Qin on the tower of the Sword Pavilion. ”

"General Sima, Sword Pavilion Chengjian, it is difficult for us to capture this for a while, if we capture our army, there will be too many casualties, which is not good for our Great Qin. For this reason, we can adopt the wheel tactic, and form several teams to take turns to attack the city, and in this way, the soldiers on the city tower will be tired, and we will launch a general attack, and the sword pavilion will be taken in less than a day," a general walked out of the road.

"This is not true, the wheel tactics are time-consuming, we can take the attack on the city, and the soldiers in the city tower will be confused, regardless of the end. Concentrate on attacking the city with all your might, and capture the Sword Pavilion before Gongzi Qi's reinforcements arrive," Xiao Yu made his debut.

"General Xiao, General Ben has always doubted whether you are surrendering fraudulently, it seems that you have been wronged, General Xiao's plan is very good, according to General Xiao's strategy, go all out to attack the city, and strive to capture the Sword Pavilion before Gongzi Qi's reinforcements arrive."

Unexpectedly, the detailed work that went to the Qin army's military camp to report was arrested by the guards in the Sword Pavilion when he returned to the Sword Pavilion, and finally served it in a pot. Under the city were thousands of troops, and the black pressure was divided into four phalanxes, with chariots and cavalry in the middle, and infantry and crossbowmen on both sides. The crossbowmen on both wings came forward and squatted down in front of the Chinese army, and thousands of arrows were fired, and the defenders on the city wall fell down the high city wall like fallen leaves, killing and wounding countless people. The front army began to attack, carrying the ladder and the siege of the logs, the black pressure rushed to the sword pavilion like a tide, the crossbowmen above the city tower rushed up, the arrows rained down from the top of the city tower, the shield soldiers raised their shields to block the arrows shot from the city tower, and shot the sword pavilion into a hedgehog below, the archers behind the shield walked out, shot arrows to the top of the city tower, the momentum was unstoppable, attacked under the high gate of the sword pavilion, the wood rolling stones fell, and the corpses under the city tower were piled up like a mountain. The war drums rumbled, the Qin army launched a second attack, it was already a day, the Sword Pavilion was still impregnable, the Sword Pavilion still couldn't be attacked for a long time, only Mingjin collected the troops, and Sima Coo returned to his camp.

"General Xiao, you said that there are some old, weak, sick and disabled people in the Sword Pavilion City, I see that the city is full of some elites, and it has been attacking for a day, and the Sword Pavilion has still not been captured, what do you say is going on," Sima Cuo began to wonder if this Xiao Yu was a fraudulent surrender.

"General Sima, the art of war is emphasized, the real is real, the real is false, this can only be said that General Wei has a good way of governing the army, in addition to the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, you can continue to attack the city tomorrow, such a continuous and uninterrupted attack, the weak image in the city will naturally be phenomena," Xiao Yu stood up and faced Sima on the platform.

"General, the soldiers besieging the city have already suffered a lot of casualties, and if we can't attack for a long time, it may be detrimental to our army, but Xiao Yu strongly persuaded us to attack the city with all our might, and his heart was clearly revealed. Xiao Yu is deceitful surrender as an internal response to the enemy, his words are not credible, general! Xiao Yu should be killed here to boost the army's prestige. ”

"I, Xiao Yu, risked the danger of being beheaded all over the house to descend to Qin, I didn't expect you to suspect me Xiao Yu, this is not the demeanor of a general, casually killing a general who really came to surrender, so who else would dare to surrender among the soldiers on the tower of the Sword Pavilion City? In this way, they will be cut off from their desire to surrender to Qin, and they will fight to the death. The last general guessed that the Pakistani army would definitely attack our camp tonight, and if what the last general said was false, the general could kill the last general, and the last general would die without regrets. ”

"How do you know that the Pakistani army is coming to attack our camp tonight?"

"Because our army is tired from attacking the city, the Pakistani army can take advantage of the weakness of our army to sneak attack our camp and burn down the granary."

"General Xiao, what do you think of it?"

"We can withdraw from the camp and set up an ambush, there are some empty camps inside, and when the enemy army enters, the last general can lead the army to shoot and kill."

"General Xiao's plan is very good."

Sure enough, as Xiao Yu expected, the Pakistani army attacked the camp of the Qin army, and when they entered the camp, they found that it was an empty camp and knew that they were in the plan, and when they were about to withdraw, Xiao Yu led the troops to shoot and kill, leaving no one behind. Sima Cuo trusted Xiao Yu even more, and attacked the Sword Pavilion with all his strength the next day.

At this time, Gongzi Qi was sitting at the desk reading the book of war, and a soldier from the Sword Pavilion came to his camp to ask Gongzi Qi to send troops to rescue. Gongzi Qi stood up and stepped forward and said, "How many days can the Sword Pavilion hold on?" ”

"Three days."

"Well, it's very good, tell the soldiers above the city gate to do their best to guard the Sword Pavilion, and the reinforcements will arrive in two days."

After the soldiers of the Sword Pavilion withdrew, the second stunned man entered Gongzi Qi's camp tent and said, "Childe, let's go to war, after the Qin army captures the Sword Pavilion, our country will be in danger." ”

"Second stunned, what should you be guilty of?"

"I don't know what crime I committed, I persuaded Gongzi to send troops for the sake of our country."

"Someone's coming, push the two stunned out and cut them off." The second stunned looked at the guards standing on both sides, and at this time, the second stunned man walked out with the guards on both sides and said: "Childe, even if you kill me, I have to say this, I hope Childe will not let me down." After the two stunned men walked out of the camp with the guards, they met Qu Yuan, the doctor of Sanlu, Qu Yuan stepped forward and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Is Childe afraid of the Qin Army, I will persuade Childe to send troops to rescue the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion is also in danger, and the Childe will kill me."

"Wait outside the tent, and I'll go and tell your son."

Sanlu Doctor Qu Yuan walked into Gongzi Qi's tent and said, "Qi, you want to kill the second stunned." ”

"The Warrior Slashes."

"This person can't be killed, so let him make meritorious contributions."

The Sword Pavilion was captured by the Qin army in three days, and the people in the city were panicked and fled one after another. Miss Ling's father entered Miss Ling's boudoir and said hurriedly: "Lingling, I'm afraid the Sword Pavilion can't hold it." ”

"Who guards the Sword Pavilion?"

"Gongzi Qi, I heard from the people who fled back that even General Xiao Yu, who was guarding the Sword Pavilion, surrendered to the Qin army, and Gongzi was afraid that the Qin army would not send troops to relieve the siege of the Sword Pavilion, and the Sword Pavilion might have been captured at this time."

"Childe is waiting for work, I believe that Childe, this battle will be won. Father, you can gather these fleeing people, and you say that the son is wise and has the hearts of the people, and this battle will definitely be won, so as to calm the hearts of the people. Although Miss Ling's voice is a little weak, it can show a woman's calmness and calm thinking.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Two days later, Gongzi Qi ascended the general platform and led three lines of soldiers and horses to attack the invading Qin army, all the way the soldiers and horses cut off the grain route of the Qin army, and cutting off the grain route of the Qin army was equivalent to blocking their back road; The soldiers and horses all the way are attacking the military camp of the Qin army, because the Qin army is attacking the Sword Pavilion with all its might, the camp tent must be empty, and an ambush is set up on the mountain, which can annihilate the Qin soldiers who came back to the rescue in one fell swoop; All the way to the aid of the Sword Pavilion, the Qin army has been attacking the Sword Pavilion for three days, and it will be exhausting, we can lead the elite division to eliminate the Qin soldiers under the Sword Pavilion Tower. On the top of the tower, it was found that there was an invading enemy army not far away, and before they had time to report it, they were shot down by random arrows, occupying various hills, and the coalition army attacked the camp tent, these soldiers and horses were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, killing the generals guarding the camp tent under the horses, capturing the camp camp of the Qin army, exiting the camp tent and setting up ambushes on various hills, waiting for the Qin army to rush back to rescue. Gongzi Qi led the reinforcements to rush to the periphery, and Xiao Yu led his soldiers in the back to turn against each other, pointing to Sima Cuo on the chariot, and the soldiers in the city rushed into the battle to fight, and the Qin army was defeated in a battle. Qu Yuan stood on the city gate to watch the coalition troops rushing back and forth under the city tower, and the son who rode a war horse galloped towards Sima Cuo, stretched out his halberd to pick off the drummer next to Sima Cuo, Sima Co only fled in embarrassment, leading the remnants of the army to run towards his own camp, Qu Yuan, the doctor of Sanlu, exclaimed: "The son is brave! ”

Sima Cuo led the panicked Qin soldiers back to their camp, found the corpses on the ground, and knew that he had been tricked, and withdrew to stand under the mountain in the two mountains, where he encountered an ambush, at this time the Qin army was already more than half of the dead and wounded, Sima Cuo led the remaining remnants of the army back to Xianyang.
