The sunset is decadent, the remnants of the glow are stained with blood, the black magpie returns to the forest, flies around the trees, and does not dare to rest for a long time.

Just because there were bursts of cheers of joy and tears from the head of Puyang City, which shocked the earth and frightened birds and beasts.

"Retreat! The Yanzhou soldiers are retreating! ……”

The soldiers or held high the blade regimental card, held high the five-color flag, and waved it constantly; or support each other, huddle together, shouting and cheering; Some even simply discarded their knives and guns, lay on the battlements, and shouted desperately outside to vent.

But there are also soldiers who are howling and crying, and Niu Wa is one of them. Niu Wa is fourteen years old this year, originally a Jizhou refugee, and his brother fled to Dongjun together, when he met the Dongjun conscription to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he and his brother both had a full stomach, and both enlisted in the Puyang Army. For more than a year, the two brothers followed the army east into Luoyang, and they fought a few battles, and they have been safe and sound, his brother was also promoted to the captain of the army because of his bravery, and the two brothers are feeling that life is full of hope, and the elder brother plans to wait for it to settle down and find a good woman to be a sister-in-law of the cow. But just now, right next to Niu Wa, a huge crossbow arrow fell from the sky, pierced out of his body, and nailed his brother to the wall.

"Brother! ......" Niu Wa howled and cried, he desperately pulled out the iron spear-like crossbow arrows on his brother's body, and with a poof, blood gushed out of the penetrating hole, splashing Niu Wa's face.

"Brother! …… Wake up! Niu Wa covered the hole tightly with both hands, and howled fiercely, "Wake up ......"

My brother has his eyes closed forever, where will they open again?

"Brother......" How can Niu Wa want to believe this fact, he is a relative of his brother in this world, he will never believe that his brother is really dead, he does not give up and pushes his brother one by one.

"Okay, your brother is dead, killed by Yanzhou soldiers, killed by Liu Dai's thief......" A thick and broad hand reached over and patted Niu Wa's shoulder, "Okay, just cry, it's a man who wiped his tears and took revenge on Liu Dai's dog thief." How many of our brothers have been harmed by that thief, and how many of them have been harmed by our lord. ”

It was Puyang General Xuankuan who spoke, and he had a gloomy face, comforting Niu Wa.

"Liu Dai, I'm going to kill you!" Niu Wa was holding her brother and howling violently, and her voice that had just changed her voice was sharp and abnormal.

There are too many such situations in Puyang City. Xuankuan is counting today's battle losses, today's battle, my Puyang annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops, but he also suffered about 6,000 casualties. Alas, there are only 20,000 soldiers in total, and on the first day of the siege, they have already lost thirty percent, and I don't know how long they can hold out tomorrow.

……

"Ten thousand! More than 10,000 soldiers under his command were killed and wounded! ……”

Yanzhou Jibei coalition army camp, the Chinese army's big tent.

Liu Dai slapped a palm on several cases, shocking the tiger Fu Lingmu on the case and jumping a few times, his hideous and thin face, his white beard trembled, and scolded loudly: "Incompetent, incompetent, all waste!" …… My army of 50,000 can't capture Puyang. ”

He rushed down the hall angrily, kicked several leading soldiers on the ground, and scolded: "Should you be killed? Dead and wounded 10,000 soldiers in a certain account! …… Why retreat? ”

The leading soldiers were kicked to the ground by Liu Dai and did not dare to resist. A Sima said in a panic: "My lord, if it weren't for our ineffective leadership of the troops, it was really that Puyang was tenacious, and the defense of the city was very orderly, and the soldiers couldn't stand it!" ”

"Hmph, tenacity, then our army is not tenacious? Our soldiers are not tenacious enough, who is responsible, is it a problem for you and other generals? Liu Dai sneered, raised his eyebrows, "Come on, take them all down!" Military disposition! ”

Those Sima were immediately shocked, and repeatedly kowtowed and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"My lord! The Lord is angry, the Lord is angry! The strategists standing on the side came to persuade one after another.

The marching Sima Wang Qi came out of the column and said: "My lord, today's defeat is not the responsibility of the generals alone. …… One is the big city of Puyang, the city is high and the pool is deep, the crossbows are fully equipped, the armor is strong and the guns are sharp, not to mention the soldiers are single-minded, brave and tenacious; As General Mao Hui said before, our army rushed forward at the risk of death and filled up the deep pool, which was exhausted and exhausted, how could it be stopped? “

"Exactly! In today's battle, our army has filled the moat, which is also a big achievement, and if we attack the city again in the future, we will be able to fight down. ...... "Don't drive, Wang Yu also came out to help." The full name of don't drive is the history of don't drive, also known as don't drive. Hanzhi is the adjutant of the state assassin history. Because of its high status, it is not in the same car as the assassin when it goes out on patrol, and it is not in a car, hence the name.

Wang Yu looked at the crowd, and all the Sima Junhou were a little bolder, and shouted one after another: "Lord, indeed, our army is really exhausted, and it is naturally difficult to attack the city. What's more, today our army has filled the moat! ”

"The moat has been filled, as long as we are given a few more days, Puyang will definitely be captured! Lord! ”

"My lord, there is no merit and hard work today,...... Lord: "The generals of the defeated army kept kowtowing and begging for mercy to justify.

Liu Dai's anger rested for a while, and he scolded: "That's good, for everyone's sake today, for everyone's sake, for the sake of you and others who have filled the moat, and spare you." ”

All the leading soldiers were overjoyed and thanked them with their heads.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I must take Puyang City for a certain person, can I do it?" Liu Dai spoke next, his eyes full of eagerness and anxiety.

It's no wonder that Liu Dai was anxious, he thought that he had sent a dead soldier to assassinate Taishou Qiao Mao, and Dongjun could go down without a fight, and this Dongdu, who didn't listen to his dignified assassination history, could easily be pocketed. But who knows, this Qiao Mao is hard-hitting, and he hasn't died until today; What's even more odious is that the dragons in Dongjun have no leader, and the hearts of the army and the people are still not dispersed, and they are united to defend the city. Now, Dongjun didn't take it, and Da Qiao didn't capture it, but the 50,000 army under his command lost 10,000 in battle, but he really felt sorry for Liu Dai and died anxiously to death Liu Dai.

"Well...... This one...... This ......" each Sima Junhou knelt on the ground, looking at each other left and right, and no one dared to pat his chest and respond loudly. Just kidding, this Puyang city is solid, this Puyang soldiers are not afraid of death, after today's battle, everyone has a deep understanding, who dares to boast of this Haikou, do this guarantee?

"You guys! You guys! Rubbish...... It's all rubbish! Liu Dai's anger, which had just calmed down, flare up again, blowing his gray beard, stretching out his thin fingers, and scolding.

"The Lord is angry!" The first person in the column of generals on the right side of the Chinese army's big tent clenched his fists and shouted loudly. This person has a yellow face and a long beard, and it is Mao Hui, the number one general in Yanzhou. Yanzhou originally had two generals with the same name, and the other person was Xu Xi, but unfortunately he was stabbed to death by Da Qiao yesterday, leaving Mao Hui alone.

Mao Hui said in a deep voice: "The Lord is angry! Tomorrow, Mao Hui is willing to personally lead the army to fight and win Puyang for the lord! ”

Liu Dai turned his anger into joy, took back his outstretched fingers, stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile: "If General Mao Hui is out of the horse, Puyang will go down." ”

"But!" Mao Hui changed his words suddenly, and the target was directly at Bao Xin, the deputy seat, he was cold, and said, "My lord, I am willing to personally put on the battle and fight for the lord, although I have no regrets about dying!" Pu Tinghou is also a person who speaks of loyalty and righteousness, and now he is attached to my lord, does he also have to solve problems for my lord? ”

"You! Hum ...... "Bao Xinben, who is strong and broad-waisted, has been sitting on the deputy seat, and it has nothing to do with himself, but there is no Jibei Army in the siege battle in front, how many people have died, how many people have been injured, whether these Sima Junhou want to be dealt with by military law, he is too lazy to care." Now Mao Hui suddenly provoked him, where is he not like thunder, but he is from a prince's background, and intrigue is a habit. At that moment, Bao Xin also smiled coldly and responded: "Could it be that General Mao thinks that he is loyal and brave?" In the name of war, to blackmail the lord? Hehe, what a big scheming! ”

Bao Xin stood up, saluted Liu Dai with a fist, and said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Assassin Shi, why should Mao Hui go out tomorrow, Bao Xin is willing to lead the army out of battle, and he will capture Puyang for your lordship." …… Hehe, rude and reckless, what's the use? He didn't forget to taunt Mao Hui.

"You! ......" Mao Hui was furious.

"Okay, okay......" Liu Dai's head was big, he shook his head, and scolded: "The two of you, one is my general, and the other is a dignified minister, don't pinch all day long!" ”

Bao Xinhao smiled and said: "Lord Assassin Shi, Xin Ke doesn't want to be as knowledgeable as a reckless man, but I can't see anyone doubt Xinzhi's loyalty and bravery. ”

Liu Dai twisted his white beard, his eyes roamed left and right on Bao Xin and Mao Hui, thoughtful.

Half ringing.

After Liu Dai returned to a few cases, he knelt down peacefully, smiled lightly, and said, "Yuncheng, your Jibei Kingdom may be recovered?" ”

Bao Xin didn't quite understand why Liu Dai suddenly said Jibeiguo, and replied: "That Qingzhou is in charge, with hundreds of thousands of troops, dominating my Jibei, only with the strength of Xin's army, it is really difficult to recover!" …… Lord Assassin Shi, please Shangguan must be the master of Bao Xin"

"It's difficult, it's difficult...... Liu Dai shook his head slowly, squinted his eyes and said, "Guan Cheng has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even if a certain army is sent to recapture it." ”

"This ......" Bao sighed in confidence, and his heart was quickly wondering, what is this old ghost talking about?

"Yuncheng, the small people in Jibei are weak, and they have been looted by the yellow scarves and are barren. How do you look at Dongjun? …… Hehe, this eastern county is my Yanzhou heavy county, with jurisdiction over 22 counties, the people are rich in the county, the population is innumerable, and the money and food are not counted...... Hehe" Liu Dai's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flickered, and he smiled.

"This ...... Please stab Lord Shi clearly! Bao Xinxin thought for a moment, and simply clasped his hands and fists and spoke directly.

"Haha! Yuncheng, how about a certain letter for you to be the Taishou of Dongjun? Liu Dai spoke slowly.

"What? Higashigun Taishou! ......" Bao Xin covered his mouth and lost his voice, and his heart was in ecstasy. Now that he has lost Jibei, he has no place to stay, and he is wandering around like a lost dog, which is also the reason why he took refuge in Liu Dai, so he pointed to Liu Dai to give him a place to live and raise soldiers. Today, when he heard Liu Dai say that he was named the Taishou of Dongjun, how could he not be overjoyed, not to mention that this Dongjun is much richer than Jibei, and it has always been controlled by high-ranking celebrities, so under normal circumstances, where can he get his turn.

"Yes, Dongjun Taishou." Liu Dai nodded.

"But! You need to take this East County yourself! Liu Dai stroked his beard and said, "Bao Xin and Mao Hui listened to the order: Tomorrow, you and the other two will lead the army to attack the city." …… Which of the two of you who entered the city first is the Taishou of Dongjun! ”

Bao Xin and Mao Hui stood up abruptly and shouted: "Yes! ”
