Fan Qiang was puzzled and asked: "General, I have seen the city gate, and success or failure is here, why not go all out and level Xianbei?" Wu Meng said: "Poor Kou Mo chase, if the Xianbei in the city is dispatched, come to respond, and fight with me, our army is small, it is difficult to win, it is better to return to the army." ”

"Yes, our army occupies the high mountains, and the movement in the city is all under my eyes, how can there be no reason to be invincible?" After Geng Gong finished speaking, he led the army to retreat slowly. At this time, countless Xianbei troops poured out from the city, seeing that the Han army was well-disciplined and orderly, they were afraid of an ambush and did not dare to pursue.

When the Han soldiers arrived on the mountain, the barracks had been burned to ashes, and Li Kang was nowhere to be seen. Wu Meng was anxious, with tears in his eyes, looking around, and shouted loudly: "Li Kang, Li Kang, where are you?" The shouts were poignant, echoing throughout the mountains. However, the cold wind gusts, the night sinks like water, where is Li Kang's response? After more than an hour, I saw a room next to it, and when I went inside, I saw Li Dang covered in alcohol, lying in the blanket and falling asleep, snoring earth-shattering, and couldn't help but be angry and funny. Wu shook violently, where can he wake up? found a bucket of cold water, and when his head was drenched, Li Dang was excited, shivered, and immediately woke up, drunk and confused: "Why did my brother run into a dream?" ”

"Come on, take down Li Dang!" Geng Gong was furious. Two soldiers came up, pounced on Li Dang, took Li Dang out of the blanket, and pressed him to the ground. "Li Kang, the general has repeatedly ordered that he is not allowed to drink, why do you regard the military order as child's play? At the moment of the great enemy, you are actually drunk and unconscious, if you miss the fighter, how can you afford it? Someone, drag him out and cut him down! ”

Wu Meng, Fan Qiang and the others panicked, and knelt down to plead: "General Geng, the enemy has not been defeated yet, so he will kill his own people, which is not good for the army!" Nian Zai Li Dang took this mountain alone, the merits and demerits were compensated, spare his life, and make meritorious service for his crimes!" Where did Geng Gong want to kill Li Kang, but for a pretense, someone pleaded for mercy, and he happily agreed, and said with a straight face: "Li Kang, I read that you have meritorious service today, and I will spare your life for the time being!" If you do it again in the future, you will not be forgiven! ”

Li Dang was like a piece of coke, shook the water droplets on his head, opened his big mouth, and said with a smile: "Although it is useless, it also makes me kill so happily that even the knife is dull." Needless to say, the next time I fight, my brother has to let me be the vanguard, and none of you are allowed to fight with me! ”

Everyone saw that Li Kang's hair and clothes were burnt, and they looked embarrassed, and looked at each other and smiled. Wu Meng said: "Brother, just fought against the Xianbei army, why did you wait until half of the soldiers were on the mountain and half of the soldiers were at the bottom of the mountain before you gave the order to attack, why didn't you swoop down and attack as soon as the Xianbei army reached the bottom of the mountain?" ”

Geng Gong wiped his hands with a towel, remembering the bloody battle just now, his eyes lit up, how could he not be excited to achieve such a victory in the first attack? Geng Gong said: "Half-crossing and attacking, this is the essentials of the art of war, although the mountain is not a river, but the essence is the same." Think about it, if our army dives, if the enemy sets up spears, long knives, and supplemented by sharp arrows, who can dive? Who would dare to dive? Isn't that self-defeating? But half of the enemy army went up the mountain, and the situation was immediately different, how could you set up spears and knives? As soon as the enemy army on the mountain is crushed, and the mountain and the mountain collide with each other, it will inevitably become a mess, and such an attack will of course be invincible. Wu Meng, Fan Qiang and others sighed at each other: "The general is clever, and he is worthy of being the queen of the general." ”

In Shangyuan City, the guard Tan Shiguang was lying on the bed, covering his chest, humming and chirping, the battle just now made him palpitate. The arrow in his chest, fortunately, first passed through the body of the soldier in front of him, dissipating his strength, and he was wearing armor, otherwise, he would have died a long time ago. Among the Han army, how could there be such a skilled archeryman?

"The Han army is like a tiger and wolf, the offensive is fierce, the advance and retreat are appropriate, and the discipline is strict, when did it become so powerful? Who is commanding this team? Tan Shiguang couldn't help but sigh when he remembered the fiasco just now. He had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he had seen many fierce battles, but he had never experienced such a surprise and one-sided situation as tonight. When the castle was captured, the Han army was weak and vulnerable, and occupied the city wall with almost no effort.

Tan Shiguang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a plan to break the enemy. There are few soldiers in the plains, there are many grain soldiers, and the sandalwood steps of the five grain guards are his elder brothers, so it seems that only by asking him for help can he defeat the Han army and defend the city wall. Tan Shiguang endured the pain and got up, and after writing the distress letter, he was exhausted and sweating profusely. He handed it to his own soldiers and advised: "Quickly hand over this letter to General Tan, the general of the five grains, and go quickly, and don't delay time." The soldiers took the order and went straight to the grains.

The candle flame dimmed, and the boundless darkness swallowed up Uehara. Tan Shiguang walked around the barracks a few times in pain, and he knew that he couldn't fall down at this time. The barracks was full of wounded soldiers, mottled with blood, moaning constantly, morale was low, Tan Shiguang was angry and angry, and ordered: No one is allowed to scream, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! and dragged out a few soldiers who were still screaming again and again, one by one, cutting off their heads, and the morale of the army was slightly lifted. Tan Shiguang had never had such a fiasco, he was so angry that his chest hurt again, he clenched his steel teeth, and lay on the bed without saying a word. Suddenly, there was a shout of siege in the distance, and Tan Shi couldn't get a chest ache, so he flicked up and walked to the head of the city, the guards were holding weapons in their hands, and their faces were full of panic.

Tan Shiguang looked up, shocked, only to see that the side of the mountain was covered with countless fire points, no less than 10,000 people, shouting and killing came from the mountain, deafening, when he was flustered, thinking: "Why did the Han army come with so many people?" What to do? What to do? He hastily summoned all his army to the head of the city.

The shouting and killing sounded for a while, and suddenly it became quiet again, only the wind was blowing, and Tan Shiguang stood at the head of the city, opened his tired eyes, guarded for a long time, and did not move, so he went down to the city to rest. Only then did he close his eyes, and the shouting of killing rose into the sky again, even more violent than the previous time, and the sandalwood light was about to climb up again. The soldiers were tired, cold and wounded, and stood at the head of the city shivering. Tan Shiguang slashed the two sleeping soldiers to death with a knife, and shouted: "Keep your eyes open for me, watch well, and be ready to fight at any time!" "Another false alarm. Tanshi went to the city to recuperate, but he didn't expect the shouting to kill again. After doing this three times, the night passed easily, and Tan Shiguang was tired and haggard.

The next day, a big black man, holding a saber in his hand, came to challenge with dozens of people. Tanshiguang is already a frightened bird, where does he dare to fight, but he insists on sticking to it, and Sihao does not dare to relax. When the black man saw that the sandalwood light did not come out, he scolded. Tan Shiguang ignored it, no matter how he could scold, but he didn't come out. Seeing this, the black man simply sat under the city, ordered the soldiers, and wrestled for fun. This kind of appearance made Tan Shiguang dare not go out of the city to fight. It was easy to get into the evening, and the big black man retreated. Tan Shiguang pinched a handful of sweat, and the annoying shouting and killing sound sounded several times, and subsided several times, Tan Shiguang wanted to ignore it, and was afraid of being attacked by the weakness, so tired that he was worse than dead, very hesitant.
