Yanzhou Jibei Joint Venture, the Chinese Army's Big Tent.

There was silence, only the rough wheezing sound of the defeated general Mao Hui, and all the civil and military forces in the tent looked at Liu Dai, waiting for the lord to judge.

"Hmm...... This...... Uh-huh...... "Liu Dai stretched out his thin fingers and desperately stroked the gray and sparse beard under his chin, um-hmm, and did not speak, but frowned and kept looking at Bao Xin and Mao Hui, who were full of righteous indignation, and Mao Hui, who was kneeling and crying, as if they didn't know how to decide.

Liu Dai hesitated, looked at the seat of the first Wenchen advisor at the lower right, and said, "This ...... What do you propose? ”

There are four important strategists under Liu Dai's account, namely Wang Yu, Xu Yan, Wang Kai, and Wang Qiu, among which Xu Yan and Wang Kai have an old relationship with Bao Xin.

Xu Yan glanced at Bao Xin, only to see Bao Xin nodding slightly at him, it was difficult for others to notice, Xu Yan understood, immediately came out of the ranks, bowed down, and said: "The lord, the lord has his own judgment, I dare not say much, only one word: General Puting Hou Bao is in accordance with the lord's order, and he is more personally led the army to charge into battle." Obeying the order and seeing the responsibility, and being punished without guilt, does not it make the soldiers who obey the order chill? Doesn't it make the world's elites dare not come to vote? ”

Wang Kai smiled slightly on the side, and then immediately came out of the queue and persuaded: "Lord, General Bao looks up to the lord and leads the army to attach, but in the tenth month, he is so unreasonable, but it is the way to prevent the lord from recruiting talents from all over the world, and it is really inappropriate." ”

When Liu Dai heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and said to Bao Xin, who was in the deputy seat next to him: "Yuncheng, it's really your fault." The old man knows that you have a loyal heart, and there is a slight misunderstanding today, so don't worry about it......

Bao Xin's wide and fat body stood up, blew his beard and grinned, and shouted angrily: "The loyalty of a certain is something that can be learned from heaven and earth, but I follow the orders of the assassination." The previous time I called a certain to rush into battle, and I personally led the army to rush into battle, but now I call a certain how to do it, and I will punish it, and I will punish it, and there is no other thing to say. ”

"Alright, alright. Yuncheng, what the old man said was a misunderstanding, how could there be punishment,...... Yun Chengtang is the prime minister of the country, how can he still say such angry words? Liu Dai waved his hand, shook his head, pretended to laugh arrogantly, and his white beard shook his head.

After comforting Bao Xin, Liu Dai bowed down and said to Mao Hui, the grief-stricken general: "General Mao Hui, don't be sad anymore. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers. Today's defeat is a big defeat, and the soldiers are lost, and you will not be punished. Don't blame General Bao Xin for this matter, the daughter of the Qiao family who killed General Xu Xi, and the Puyang Army who killed your soldiers. DID YOU KNOW! ”

Liu Dai got up, pulled out the saber at his waist, the sword flashed, the saber slashed the march in front of him, and shouted loudly: "Dongjun Qiao Mao, don't think of surrendering, but harm my general, I will never give up." The congregation will obey the order! Tomorrow, we will attack the city and avenge General Xu Xi! ”

All the civil and military under the tent hurriedly got up, clasped their fists, and replied in unison: "Obey the order!" ”

Liu Dai once again faced Mao Hui and said majestically: "Reward General Mao Hui's daughter, today's matter is over." If there is any more noise among the people, they will not be spared. …… Then go back to the camp and rest for tomorrow's battle. ”

Zhong Wenwu glanced at each other left and right, and replied, "Yes." So all the people rushed out of the big tent.

Mao Hui knew that nothing had changed, so he had no choice but to stand up, punch Liu Dai, and go back to his tent in a depressed manner.

There was a person in the civil and military forces, in his thirties, dressed in a wide Confucian robe, who walked outside the tent, but he shook his head, raised his head and sighed in a low voice: "Such a decision is what makes the soldiers feel cold, and the world's elites dare not come to vote!" …… Liu Dai will die, and he ...... "This person is Yanzhou, don't drive Wang Yu."

Suddenly.

"Ann dares to talk about the lord! …… Don't drive ......," a voice sounded from behind.

Wang Yu was startled and turned around sharply.

I saw a middle-aged scribe standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering, his face smiling, and his eyes like arrows.

Wang Yu was relieved and said with a smile: "Wang Sima scares me!" How dare Yu talk about it, but he has a relative. Didn't Wang Sima think so? ”

The middle-aged scribe Wang Sima turned out to be Sima Wang Qiu of Liu Dai's marching army, and when he heard Wang Yu say this, he also suppressed Ying Ying's smile, shook his head and sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Assassin Shi Fei Ming Lord." …… It has the heart of hegemony, and the ambition of Zhou Gong to recruit talents in vain, but he can't help his wisdom, he doesn't distinguish between loyalty and evil, he is wide and continuous, and he has no authority if he is continuous, and he has no prestige if he loses his heart...... As Don't Drive, the defeat of the lord is just around the corner......" Wang Qiu couldn't help but raise his head and sighed, "Look at his behavior, he will not die today, and he will die tomorrow, don't drive, you and I will wait for the day when the prime minister leaves......"

Wang Yu also sighed, shook his head sadly, and returned to his account.

……

Following

The sky is bright, the morning light is bright, the mountains and forests are jumping, and hundreds of birds are out of the nest. With the early morning fog curling away, the Puyang city within a radius of dozens of miles clearly stands in front of it, the city is tall and majestic, the bricks and stones are mottled, there is like an angry King Kong, standing majestically, solid as gold.

On the city wall, Da Qiao was draped all over his body, holding on to the wall, looking into the distance, his posture was slender, his face was haggard, and his eyes were even bigger.

Looking left and right, countless Puyang soldiers stood at the head of the city according to the formation, or holding guns, or holding knives, or raising bows, or shields, or fork poles, or against wood, concentrating on vigilance, and hating the same enemy. On the ground, countless stones and logs are stacked neatly every few meters, piled up as high as a hill; Countless large iron pots are adding firewood, and the pots are either boiling water or gold juice, churning and boiling, and the stench is endless; On the outside of the battlement, countless curtains, leather curtains, grate fences, and leather bamboo fences are hung outside, like plasters on the city wall; High on the city wall, rows of huge ballistas tightened the thick strings, and the mouth of the bowstring was bitten with iron arrows as thick as goose eggs, and the cold light flashed, and it was better to say that it was a bow and arrow than an iron spear. If you can see further, you will find that a mile behind the city wall, the houses have been demolished, the bricks and stones have been carried to the city, and the cleared open space has been filled with heavy and clumsy catapult catapults, and countless soldiers sit around the huge pile of stones.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

Zhang Qingsun Erniang and his wife stood around Da Qiao. Feeling the atmosphere of this future war, Sun Erniang felt inexplicably dignified and depressed today, she has always been spicy and cheerful, so strong and outgoing, she actually quietly accompanied her own man vegetable garden Zhang Qing, staring at her man, her eyes were extremely gentle and attached.

The fog in the distance gradually dissipated, and the morning sun shone brightly. The Puyang soldiers clearly heard a light thunder in the sky, and gradually turned into rolling thunder and echoed in the sky above Puyang City; A black line flashed from the sky in the thunder, slowly gathering into a dark cloud and surging on the horizon.

Where is the thunder? Where are the dark clouds?

The black pressure of the boundless soldiers and horses continued to pour out from the horizon, first the flag, then like a forest of knives and guns, then the black armor, and then all kinds of war horses, countless black dots seemed to be groups of demons that rushed out of hell, converging into a boundless dark cloud that fell from the sky and dust, writhing angrily on the ground, roaring and rushing towards Puyang City.

Black clouds are pressing down on the city!

Five miles.

Four miles.

The inky dark clouds are approaching, and you can finally clearly see countless flags of all colors hunting and hunting with the wind, countless swords, guns, swords, halberds that reflect the morning light and flicker cold and cold light, countless soldiers wearing full armor or half armor or robes, and countless war horses of all colors, trampling into thunder. More clearly saw countless servants and soldiers pushing watchtowers, nest cars, catapults, ballistas, Lu public cars, all kinds of siege equipment in the servants and soldiers in the earth-shattering slogan of "hey, hey", slowly coming, although the speed is slow, after the military column, it can bring more coercion, killing intent soaring to the sky.

"Damn, such a big battle!" Zhang Qing gasped, his face was gloomy and gloomy, and he couldn't help but curse. The Puyang soldiers at the head of the city were numb in their scalps, their breathing became heavy, their hands were tightly gripping their knives and guns, and they were sweating unconsciously, and their fingers were white.

"What's there to fear? The method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five to attack it, and to fight it twice! …… I have 20,000 elite soldiers in Puyang, more than 100,000 people, and the strength of the city wall and the strength of the armor! Liu Dai is only 50,000 people, so he wants to attack the city, where can he fight? Da Qiao's eyes were sharp and swept in all directions, his face was like frost, and he shouted loudly, his voice was crisp and loud.

"Defend my territory and stick to Puyang!" Da Qiao held up the pear flower gun and shouted vigorously.

The Sima Junhou under his command raised the swords and guns in their hands and roared loudly: "Defend my territory and stick to Puyang!" ”

All the soldiers at the head of the city raised their swords and guns in their hands and roared: "Defend my territory and stick to Puyang!" ”

The roar shook the sky, resounded through the heavens and the earth, and rushed straight into the distant military horses. Roar after roar, wave after wave, roaring, the heavy breathing of the soldiers slowly calmed down, the trembling and sweaty hands slowly calmed down, but the eyes were slowly bloodshot, slowly revealing a fierce light, like substance, like fangs, like sharp claws.

Perhaps hearing a shout, the opposing military horse stopped three miles from the city. I could only hear the dull and heart-pounding sound of drums, and the battle array on the opposite side slowly spread out. Countless infantry turned into several phalanxes in the center and lined up in front of the formation, countless siege equipment were neatly arranged in the open space in the infantry formation, two cavalry guarded the left and right wings, and the Chinese cavalry held the word "Liu" and lined up closely behind the infantry army.

Suddenly!

"Uh......h Woo......"

The poignant and rapid sound of the horn resounded throughout the four fields.

With the sound of the horn, the infantry battle array on the opposite side began to move, with swords and guns in hand, shields held high, carrying ladders, and slowly stepping forward in unison with the rhythm, the steps were neat and rhythmic, shaking the ground step by step, shaking people's hearts. The siege equipment in the infantry formation also slowly moved, the effective killing of catapults was more than one mile but two miles, the effective killing distance of the ballista was lower, and it was necessary to rely on the city and then the city, "rumbling rumbling ......" thousands of servants gritted their teeth and desperately pushed the heavy and cumbersome lookouts, nest carts, catapults, and ballistae forward. The lookout car and nest car are full of crossbowmen, all of whom are bent bows and crossbows, ready to go.
