"Knock ······" There was an earth-shattering drum sound in the jujube boiling city, followed by the sound of a fight.

Then a fire burst out of the city.

"General, it's not good, we've been fooled."

The corners of Shengzi's mouth twitched, and he said coldly: "It's okay, the mantis arm is a car, and you can't measure it." Order, immediately organize soldiers to attack the city. ”

"No."

Then Shengzi gritted his teeth and looked at Shu Bi, who was still on the side: "Surrender... In the midst of death, well, the faithful and righteous will fulfill you. Come on, pull it out and cut it. ”

Shubi: "······"

In the city of boiling dates, the area of the east gate has been surrounded by an earthen wall, and more than a thousand Qi troops are trapped in it.

The Han who had previously met Cheng Lingjun by the Pushui was commanding more than 3,000 strong men to stand outside the earthen wall to shoot at the more than 1,000 Qi troops who were locked up in the streets, and the skyrocketing fire was the Wei army setting fire to the houses to prevent the Qi army from evading.

The front road was blocked, the back road was broken, and in the face of arrow fire, the Qi army was in chaos.

"County lieutenant, the Qi army outside is ready to attack the city."

Dahan nodded, looked at the Qi army in the city and shouted: "Order, continue to release arrows, and leave no one." ”

When he came to the east of the city, Dahan saw that the Qi army was holding more than 20 simple ladders and planned to attack the city, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "The wall of our boiled jujube city is as high as one zhang six, and the Qi army only has such a few ladders to attack the city, is this trying to climb the city wall with bare hands, or is it trying to intimidate me Ni Liang?" ”

"Hahaha..." The people around laughed when they heard this, and the frozen atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot.

The laughter spread to the Qi army under the city, and the Qi army was unmoved, and did not react at all, Ni Liang saw this, his eyes immediately shrank, and he sighed secretly: It is indeed an elite division.

Then, when he saw the slender shadow of Qi Jun, he immediately showed a relaxed expression.

Then he sent his carefully trained 300 strong men to the front line.

"Brother, the Qi army's siege has just begun, so isn't it too early to send out your carefully trained soldiers?" Ni Liang's younger brother Ni Kuang asked puzzled.

Ni Liang shook his head and said: "No, it's the right time to send it out now, if it's too late today, there is not much time left for Qi to attack the city, and for Qi Guo, there is only one chance for them." So this first wave of attacks will be the most ferocious. ”

"And most of the elites of my boiled dates have been transferred away by General Xiwu, and the rest are just some inexperienced strong men, and now we can only easily defeat the offensive of the Qi army to improve everyone's morale. Otherwise, the defense of the city will be hanging. ”

"And I also heard that the Qi State also sent the technical fighters this time, although the technical fighters take money to do things, but in terms of one-on-one single-handedness, I'm afraid that none of the soldiers of my Wei State are opponents. Therefore, if the technical fighters attack the city, I am afraid that these strong men I have trained will not be able to withstand it, and you and I need to personally kill the enemy to improve everyone's morale. ”

As soon as Ni Kuang heard about the technical striker, his face immediately turned pale: "Brother, if it's a technical fighter, will we keep it?" ”

Ni Liang smiled lightly: "Of course you can, don't you hear that you can't wear a crossbow at the end!" The current Qi army is just scary to look at. ”

Saying that, Ni Liang secretly scolded Cheng Lingjun in his heart for having a false name.

At first, when Cheng Lingjun was stationed in Pushui and asked the counties to send troops, Ni Liang felt that there was a problem with this.

The Qi State not only has an advantage in terms of troops, but also the elite Qi army, and the main force of the Wei army is not there, can the improvised patchwork army beat the elite Qi army?

As for concentrating forces in Pushui and fighting a decisive battle with the Qi army, this is even more of a lower policy.

Pushui is not a river, there are many places to cross the river, and the Wei army is not the opponent of the Qi army at all on the water, the last time Qi and Wei held each other in Pushui, in addition to the main force of Qi and Wei, more importantly, Wei is the main attacker, the Qi army is the defender, the Qi army has the help of the water division, and it is naturally easy to defend.

According to Ni Liang's idea, in the case that the main force of the Wei army is not there, but there are reinforcements from other countries, then the city should be held, let the Qi army attack the city one city after another, and gather the troops in the larger city, as long as the city holds on for four or five days, then when the Qi army breaks through Chengyang in the west of Pushui, I am afraid that all the reinforcements from other countries have arrived.

Therefore, after Ni Liang received the order to transfer troops, in addition to strengthening the defense of Boiled Zao City, he also intercepted most of the strong men, and when he left, he also instructed everyone: No matter what happens, as long as the Wei army is defeated and the Qi army crosses Pushui, then immediately flee back to Boiled Zao.

······

"Knock knock..." Drums rang out outside the city.

"Brother, the Qi army has attacked."

"Got it." Ni Liang watched the archers of the Qi army step forward, immediately hid behind the city wall, and shouted: "Pay attention to concealment. ”

"Ding Ding Ding..." Several arrows flew up, crashed into the city wall, and landed at Ni Liang's feet.

Ni Liang picked up the arrow and sighed: "It's a pity that the Qi army in the city hasn't been cleared yet, otherwise our archers can also return the color." ”

After a few rounds of arrows, the rain of arrows stopped, and then the sound of wood hitting the walls was heard.

The humanitarian who has been in charge of monitoring the Qi army: "General, the Qi army stopped shooting arrows and began to climb the wall." ”

Ni Liang nodded, got up, drew his sword, and said loudly: "Brothers, kill the enemy." ”

Several Qi soldiers just climbed the city wall, and then they were pushed down by the strong men on the wall, and some of the Qi soldiers who jumped on the city wall were hacked to death by several strong men before they could make a move.

"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Ni Liang laughed and said: "The tired army is vulnerable, and I have won this battle." ”

The first wave of the Qi army's attack, like a wave hitting the rock on the riverbank, had no effect except for making some noise.

"General, there are many Wei troops defending the city, and we are advancing lightly, and there are too few siege weapons..."

Shengzi was unmoved when he heard this, but listened to the sound of fighting in the city that had not stopped, and said expressionlessly: "Continue to attack the city." ”

Half an hour later, Ni Kuang reported with a smile: "Brother, most of the Qi army in the city has been cleaned up. ”

"Okay, today's battle is over. Summons the order to put out the fire. ”

Shengzi first heard the sound of fighting in the city gradually became smaller, and soon the fire in the city also disappeared, shook his head and sighed: "Order, Mingjin collects the troops, rests tonight, and continues to attack the city tomorrow." ”

The sound of gold outside the city came, and Ni Kuang was overjoyed: "Brother, the Qi army has retreated." ”

Ni Liang said with a smile: "Okay, you take five hundred people and clean up all the Qi country miscellaneous items in the city." The order was given, and the rest of the strong men immediately prepared to eat and sleep. Tell the people of the city to prepare food overnight, and tomorrow's breakfast will be delivered tonight. ”

"Yes!"

Three watches that night.

Ni Kuang came to Ni Liang's room: "Brother, the third watch has arrived." ”

Ni Liang got up from the couch: "Three watches!" You go and wake up the rest of Ding Zhuang and prepare for dinner. Wait for us to sneak attack the Qi army camp! ”

"Yes."

ps: Ni Liang is either from Wei or Zhao, which is about the same time period. He is the author of "Ni Liang's Art of War", which was listed as one of the thirteen superior art of war by the Han Dynasty and has been lost.
