In front of the battle, the two generals fought against each other, and the clanging sound of the collision of swords and soldiers came and went.

The two fought for 50 rounds and were indistinguishable, killing from south to north, turning around and killing back and forth, the scene was thrilling, and the people watching were also worried.

On Chen Ziqian's side, all the county commanders were stunned, everyone thought that although Lin Xiaodao's strength was strong, he might not be able to stop the imposing Le Jinghui, but they never thought that they would not only block it, but also persist for so long.

"This person is so good at kung fu right away, he can fight with Le Jinghui for dozens of rounds without falling behind, it's really amazing." Bai Changxing looked at Chen Ziqian with envy and said, "Brother Ziqian has capable people under him." ”

"Bai County's order is serious." Chen Ziqian was polite, but he had an arrogant expression on his face.

This is not deliberately pretended, but Lin Xiaodao does have strength.

Besides, Lin Xiaodao hasn't used all his strength yet, if he really wants to be ruthless, Le Jinghui is afraid that he may not be able to withstand it even for ten rounds.

Famous generals are not called for nothing.

But it's good to do this, at least stabilize the morale of the army.

"I think this Le Jinghui is nothing more than that, Chu Bian will pick up a lot of work for nothing, and you have to put wine and thank Brother Chen when you go back." Another county magistrate joked with a smile.

Chu Qishang smiled and said nothing, but his originally apprehensive heart completely calmed down.

Of course, some people are happy and some people are worried.

As the so-called layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, after fighting for so long, Le Jinghui already has some understanding of Lin Xiaodao's strength, and he was almost hacked to death several times, but he was lucky to dodge.

Once or twice may be reasonable, but too many times is too scary, this is clearly deliberately letting him.

"Look at the hammer!" Le Jinghui immediately made a decision, turned around and ran away with a false move: "The thief will be proud, wait for me to go back and change the handle and weigh the weapon to fight you again, withdraw!" ”

Le Jinghui was quite thick-skinned, and hurried back to the city with the team.

There was a boo outside the city, and the morale was immediately raised.

Lin Xiaodao also retreated to the camp at this time, and said with a regretful face: "The last general is incompetent, he failed to kill the enemy general, and he also asked General Chu to punish the crime." ”

"What a crime is the county lieutenant of Lin, he can fight with Le Jinghui for eighty rounds without falling behind, such a record is enough to become famous." Chu Qishang's face was happy, with Lin Xiaodao sitting here, he was now full of confidence: "Chen County Order, what should I do next?" ”

"Let the knife rest for a while, Le Jinghui is tired enough, just send someone to continue to call the formation." Chen Ziqian said nonchalantly.

Bai Changxing jumped out and said: "Brother Ziqian has already made a while, so leave such a small matter as calling the formation to us!" ”

Several county magistrates echoed the call, and now they became active again.

Chen Ziqian didn't bother to deal with them, as long as Le Jinghui didn't kill him, he didn't want to care about anything, he just wanted to be a salted fish here quietly.

Not long after, just as the dusk was about to disperse, Zeng Yuanqi of the East Road led the army to successfully capture Changchuan, and sent 10,000 elite pioneers to the south gate of Peilai to support, led by the former army commander Han Sheng.

There was no suspense next, and soon after Chang Chuan succeeded, Ningyun of the West Road was also successfully conquered.

The army assembled under the city of Peilai and launched a fierce attack in one go.

The catapult took the lead, and huge stones smashed on the tower like cannonballs, and screams came and went.

The whole army approached, the ladder erected the wall, and the ramming car, under the cover of the shield man, began to ram the city gate.

As soon as the battle began, the night shrouded Peilai was turned dark red by the raging flames, and the battle lasted all night before the defenders were repulsed and Peilai was taken.

So far, the three-step strategic intention deployed by Zhao Wengong has successfully completed the first step, and taking these three county seats, Zeng Yuanqi's morale has also been greatly boosted.

Time was running out, Zeng Yuanqi pulled out all the soldiers and horses, and in order to avoid changes if it was too late, he launched a new strategic deployment the next day.

Zeng Yuanqi merged the remaining two strategic intentions of Zhao Wengong into one step, and prepared to directly start a decisive battle with Pingyong after resting for two days.

It can be seen that Zeng Yuanqi is really in a hurry, and he doesn't even have time to take care of the three county towns he just captured.

This is not surprising, after all, this person is ambitious, and he covets more than the land of Pingyong.

And there is no turning back from the bow, if you want not to be held accountable by Tongzhou Assassin Shi, Zeng Yuanqi must have enough confidence, and attacking Lelin is imperative.

It's just that as Chen Ziqian expected, Zeng Yuanqi had no great talents, and he had just captured the three county towns of Pingyong, and the loss of soldiers and horses had already reached tens of thousands.

The next decisive battle with Pingyong will definitely have more casualties, so if it continues to be consumed like this, how easy is it to attack Le Lin again?

The handsome tent has been discussing this matter for two days in a row, and Chen Ziqian is a small county magistrate, and he is not qualified to participate in the discussion.

However, Chen Ziqian didn't plan to be idle, it was impossible for him to sit back and watch Zeng Yuan start to be peaceful and tough, let alone take the 2,000 men and horses under his command into it.

Fortunately, he still had a hand before, that is, he curried favor with the former army commander Han Sheng, and helped the partial general Chu Qi Shangbai earn a merit, and now Chu Qi Shang is much more friendly to him.

With these foundations, in the next two days of rest, Chen Ziqian showed favor to Chu Qishang more diligently, and drank two meals of wine together during the period, and quietly revealed the plight of the army to Chu Qishang.

During the banquet, Chu Qishang didn't take it seriously, but when Chen Ziqian was drunk and babbling nonsense, but he listened to some words, and naturally he would be curious about the solution.

So Chen Ziqian gave a strategy to Chu Qishang, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, and told Chu Qishang the solution to the urgent needs of the army, and through drunkenness, he was ashamed to ask Chu Qishang to go to Han Sheng to ask for credit.

Well, once you get caught with a weakness in your character, it's quite fatal.

Chu Qishang was eager to make contributions, and in order to confirm what Chen Ziqian said, he went to inquire about it afterwards.

After getting the confirmation, he hurriedly found Han Sheng and reported what Chen Ziqian said truthfully.

Of course, in order to monopolize his credit, Chen Ziqian must not have been mentioned during the period.

In the tent, Han Sheng listened to Chu Qishang's report with a face full of surprise: "Is this true? ”

"It's true, General, this is a great achievement." Chu Qishang knelt on the ground, his face was full of fiery: "Le Jinghui is from Xiyang, this person is known for his filial piety, we just need to go to Xiyang to detain his mother, are you afraid that he will not comply?" ”

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run." Han Sheng realized the stakes, and said excitedly: "Let me go and report to the lord first, if this matter is successful, you kid should take the first credit!" ”

"General Xie!" Chu Qishang was excited, and returned to the camp happily after leaving the camp, and found Chen Ziqian as soon as possible to express his gratitude.

"Chen County Order, if it can be done this time, Chu must thank you for it!" Chu Qishang's attitude was respectful, and he had long lost his previous contempt for Chen Ziqian.

Chen Ziqian said with a wry smile: "I just got drunk and said that, but I didn't think that General Chu would really do it, blame me, blame me for being too frivolous." ”

"Why did Chen County Order say this, could it be that there are other changes in this matter?" Chu Qishang chuckled in his heart, it was a matter of the advance and retreat of the whole army, such a big matter, if it was not good, it would be lost.

Chen Ziqian shook his head and said: "I can't talk about the accident, but if I don't go over to pick up Le Jinghui's mother's errand, I'm afraid that Chu Bi will not be able to run away." ”

"Hey, I'm a big deal, it's just a few dozen miles away, it's a little bit." Chu Qishang had a false alarm, and his heart became much more steady.

Chen Ziqian didn't bother to talk to idiots like Chu Qishang, suggesting that the other party hurry back and get ready to end the conversation.

In the camp tent, Lin Xiaodao asked puzzledly: "Why did the lord help Zeng Yuanqi recruit Le Jinghui, this person is also brave and strategic, and he gave it to Zeng Yuanqi for nothing, wouldn't he add a big enemy to us in the future?" ”

"The knife doesn't need to be worried, if I can make this happen, I can naturally ruin it." Chen Ziqian smiled and said: "It's very expensive to point me, he can't afford it!" ”

Lin Xiaodao rolled his eyes, the lord was really unprofitable, and he said before that he would give Zeng Yuanqi a free policy, but it still had to be charged!
