Li Chengyong stepped forward and saluted and asked, "General, when will we leave?" ”

Mao Lingfeng glanced at him and said, "Go, do you think that you can rely on Shi Yi to resist the offensive of the Western Qin army and keep this small city for half a month." ”

"Well, we'll have to help him defend the city here. Why. Li Chengyong asked.

Mao Lingfeng glanced at him and sighed, "For the generals, it is the people of Li who are protected, not that country, you say that Western Qin killed innocent people, can I stand idly by?" ”

Li Chengyong was silent, and only after a while did he say: "General Gao Yi, we are waiting for our eyes to be shallow. ”

Mao Lingfeng waved his hand and said, "You go down and rest first!" There's still a tough battle to be fought! After speaking, close your eyes and ponder. ”

Zhiqin and Zhiqi didn't dare to disturb, and quietly went to get some food.

Mao Lingfeng hastily used some of it, summoned Shi Yi and asked, "How much combat power is there in the city now, and how is the supply of grain and grass." ”

Shi Yi didn't dare to conceal it and replied: "There are 30,000 people in the whole city, except for the dead and seriously wounded last night, there are more than 23,000 people who can fight, and the supply of grain and grass is sufficient, but it is only ......." ”

"Just what, don't spit out, say it quickly." Knowing the chess is reluctant to urge.

"Yes, General Qiyu, it's just that the bows and arrows defending the city are consumed too quickly and the supply is insufficient." Shi Yi replied quickly.

"Well, I see, you go down and redeploy all your weapons, bows and arrows, and strengthen the North Gate guard. The more skillful people men and women who are known to the garrison, the better. ”

Shi Yi was ordered to retreat, and ordered to go down and summon the people, and only half an hour later, hundreds of ordinary people gathered outside the palace gate, including men and women, old and young. There was also a steady stream of people flocking to the garrison.

Mao Lingfeng ordered Shi Yi to bring wood and straw, instructed the people to tie the scarecrow, and put on the military uniform of the Nanyan native soldiers for the straw.

Shi Yida was puzzled and asked, "What is the general doing here?" ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled mysteriously, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." Shi Yi didn't dare to ask more.

Mao Lingfeng turned to ask, "What is the movement of the Western Qin army?" ”

Shi Yi hurriedly said: "The Western Qin army has retreated for five miles today, and there is no movement, and there is no sign of retreat. ”

"Hmm." Mao Lingfeng nodded, "I estimate that if you don't retreat after three days, you will definitely storm the city, and I ordered the soldiers to divide into three groups and take turns to be on duty, and the rest should rest quickly and prepare more rolling wood and stones." ”

"Yes, yes." Shi Yi was ordered to retreat.

Mao Lingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief and went to the inner courtyard to rest.

Sure enough, as Mao Lingfeng expected, three days later, the Western Qin soldiers launched a frantic attack.

Mao Lingfeng held a bow and arrow, stood at the head of the city, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and the bow sounded and people fell. Mao Lingfeng pulled ten bows in a row, and dozens of enemy soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. Among them, several generals who led the charge were pierced through the throat by Mao Lingfeng with an arrow and died on the spot. The frightened Western Qin soldiers did not dare to step forward for a while. They all stopped. Seeing this scene, the lord of Western Qin drew his waist knife and slashed and killed a few hesitant native soldiers. The Western Qin soldiers could only rush upward.

Mao Lingfeng commanded the Nanyan soldiers to guard the city gate, from sunrise to sunset, the Western Qin army left a corpse and retreated back to the camp.

After Mao Lingfeng had dinner, he ordered thousands of scarecrows tied up with ropes and quietly hung outside the city. Ordered the soldiers to light fires and beat drums.

At one time, the drums were loud, and the Western Qin soldiers were startled, and when they saw that someone was hanging down the city wall, they hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released, and all of a sudden, the arrows were like rain, overwhelmingly shooting at the scarecrow on the city wall.

When the sky was about to dawn, Mao Lingfeng ordered someone to pull up the straw full of feather arrows. Command the number to be counted. Each scarecrow was covered in long arrows.

Shi Yi looked at the hundreds of thousands of feather arrows and closed his mouth in surprise.

When the day was bright and the dawn was rising, the soldiers of Western Qin took the scarecrow that fell under the city to report to the main general. The Lord of Western Qin was stunned by Meng Zhengqi, and his seven orifices were smoking. Ordered people to attack the city in a frenzy.

The staff persuaded: "General, there must be a master in the city, and the second prince was shot to death, it is definitely not something that ordinary guards can do, why don't we retreat!" ”

"No, Ben will have this big defeat in his life, if I can't take Luancheng, even if I go back, I will not be able to escape death. In this way, it is better to fight to the death, the city is broken, my life is broken, and the city is dead in me. Come on! Ben will personally supervise the siege of the city, and those who retreat will be killed. After saying that, he got up and went out of the tent, stepped on his war horse, and rushed to the front line.

The staff shook their heads and sighed, in this way for five whole days, Western Qin lost fifty or sixty thousand soldiers, but he was still stepping outside the city, and Meng Zheng, the chief general of Western Qin, was red-eyed. staring closely at the slender and thin figure in the city, he gritted his teeth angrily, but he was helpless.

Mao Lingfeng stood on the city wall, looking at the almost crazy Western Qin soldiers, and was secretly frightened. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's another battle of Stone City. With a heavy face, she walked down the tower. Summoned Shi Yi and Li Chengyong to know the qin and the chess, came to the lobby and said slowly: "Now the situation has changed, we can't wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we must end this war as soon as possible, otherwise even if Luancheng is defended, there will not be many native soldiers left." ”

Shi Yi and the others said in unison: "But by the general's orders." ”

Mao Lingfeng turned his head and ordered to go down. Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, and shook their heads again and again, "The general can't be in danger, if he can't kill Meng Zheng." Besieged by tens of thousands of troops, how can you retreat with your whole body. ”

Mao Lingfeng: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, if you can't kill with one blow, you will be surrounded by the Western Qin army, but it is really difficult to return to Luancheng, only 40,000 Qin troops, but you can't trap me, we can go directly to Zhao State, but Luancheng is safe, but Shi Yi will lead the army to resist the enemy." ”

Secretly shook his head, "No, if the prince is here, he will definitely not agree to the princess risking her life." Just let the subordinates and the generals go out of the city together, and the princess is in Luancheng. ”

Mao Lingfeng raised his eyebrows, "You can guarantee to win Meng Zheng's head."

Dark shook his head, "My subordinates can't." ”

"Since you can't guarantee it, then do what you are told, and Hugh will say more." Mao Lingfeng scolded in a deep voice. "Success or failure is here, and tonight is the firelight. Hurry down and prepare. ”

The crowd had no choice but to take the order. Soon, Zhiqin came over with a set of Western Qin soldier clothing. Mao Lingfeng took the costume and put on it, and led a team of soldiers to retreat to the Western Qin military camp among the Western Qin soldiers at night.

Shi Yi looked at the several figures mixed in with the soldiers, and he fell to his knees. Choked up with tears. It is not easy to take the life of the enemy's commander with a few dozen people.

That night, the Western Qin military camp was in flames, the camp was in chaos, Shi Yi rushed out of Luancheng with all the soldiers, slashed at the Western Qin soldiers, and in the melee, a thin figure carried Meng Zheng's head, and shouted crisply: "Meng Zheng is dead, you don't surrender soon." After speaking, Meng Zheng's head was hung high on the flagpole. Seeing that the main general was dead, the soldiers of Western Qin fled one after another, and the deputy general led the remnants of the army to flee back to Western Qin.

As soon as the red sun rose, Mao Lingfeng and his party of five quietly walked out of the West Gate and headed for the border of Zhao State. When Shi Yi, who was cleaning the battlefield, heard the report, he galloped wildly. Stopped Mao Lingfeng's carriage, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and said, "Please go slowly, please go back to the city to accept my emperor's reward." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled and said: "Thank you for the general's kindness, but the rewards are all things outside my body, and my only wish now is to have children to inherit the joy, the love of husband and wife, and other reputations, wealth, are all fleeting." The general does not have to block. It's just that after this battle, the general will be promoted, so I will send the general a word, and I hope the general will remember. ”

Shi Yigong knelt on the ground respectfully, clenched his fists and said: "Please give the general advice, if you don't take it to heart." ”

Mao Lingfeng said slowly: "As a general, it is the responsibility to protect the safety of the people, even if you know that you are invincible, you should step forward with your sword and wrap your body in horse leather, so that you can be worthy of heaven and earth." Remember! Remember! ”

Shi Yi's face was full of shame, and he kowtowed three times, "Thank you for the general's teachings, the last general will swear to die and never be a deserter again." ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled, "I wish the general a bright future in advance and rise step by step." After speaking, he instructed the dark one to urge the horse to gallop.

Shi Yimu sent them away. Secretly determined, we must not disappoint the general's good intentions. In the rest of his life, Shi Yi went through a large number of battles until he died on the battlefield. All of them have fulfilled their original promises. After Shi Yi returned to the city, he wrote down the details and sent them to the capital of Yan State quickly. The king of Nanyan received the battle report and shook the court.

Yimao Lingfeng entered the border city of Zhao that night. The border city guards took her into the mansion. All the way to Jinyang, the capital of Zhao State.

Zhao Size personally welcomed her into the palace, and when Zhao Lingyu, the emperor of Zhao State, saw her, his eyes straightened, stared at Mao Lingfeng and said repeatedly: "Like, it's really like Xi'er." ”

Mao Lingfeng stepped forward to salute and called, "See Emperor Zhao." ”

Zhao Lingyu grabbed her hand, "Feng'er, call uncle." ”

Mao Lingfeng paused, his lips opened lightly, and he called, "Uncle." ”

Zhao Lingyu burst into tears, took her hand, and said, "Child, you've worked hard all these years." Uncle is sorry for you, and I'm sorry for your mother. Heaven has mercy on me, so that I can still find you in my lifetime. ”

Mao Lingfeng was about to speak, when he heard the eunuch's shout outside the door: "The queen mother has arrived, and the second prince has arrived." ”

Mao Lingfeng stood up, only to see a head wearing a Chaoyang five-phoenix nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, wearing a ^ treasure beaded bun, wearing a red palace dress, a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, slender figure, coquettish physique, although he is nearly forty years old, and his demeanor is gorgeous, his face is full of spring and does not show, and his Dan lips are not smiling.

Mao Lingfeng looked at it, and his heart sank, this woman is not a good person. So he made a dignified salute, "The courtiers pay tribute to the queen mother Chitose." ”

Empress Li raised her triangular eyes, and said with a hearty smile: "I have heard that Princess Lingfeng is both civil and military, and she is stunning in the city. ”

Mao Lingfeng smiled faintly, "The queen made fun of her, and her mother's phoenix posture was even more of the top of the six palaces." ”

Empress Li covered her mouth and smiled: "I didn't expect that a famous female general would also speak well and obediently, although it is a bit fake, but I still like to listen." Ping'er hasn't gone up to see Princess Lingfeng yet. ”

Zhao Sicheng stepped forward and arched his hand, "Sicheng has seen Princess Lingfeng. ”

Mao Lingfeng returned the salute and said with a smile: "The second prince is polite." ”

Empress Li suddenly pulled Mao Lingfeng and said with a smile: "Why are you so unfamiliar with your words, the emperor is your uncle, I am your aunt, he is your cousin, just call your cousin in the future, no princess or prince will be wanted." ”

Mao Lingfeng was stunned and said, "What the queen mother said is true. ”
