Yan Wuji glanced at Liu Zhilan with some surprise, and then laughed awkwardly and said, "You surprised me!" ”

Liu Zhilan looked out of the city and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It's just that the battalion commander doesn't know me well enough." ”

"Can I take this as your complaint against me?"

"Yes" Liu Zhilan nodded, sometimes he can speak seven or eight turns, sometimes he is so straight, Yan Wuji didn't deliberately pay attention to this before, now that he thinks about it, it seems that Liu Zhilan didn't say anything in front of him when he was the deputy chief soldier under him.

"It's that I haven't trusted you enough all along, and I'm willing to apologize for that." Yan Wuji said apologetically, only then did he feel that in fact, men can also have this kind of delicate feelings, which are deeper than the love of robes, and it should be the kind between Qiu Xin, Zhu Ziming, and Liu Debiao.

Liu Zhilan laughed, "Although I can live and die with this city, you can't, the camp commander." ”

Yan Wuji smiled bitterly, "I know, this thing sounds very happy, but it is really cruel, and I don't know what kind of face I, a fellow who has been a deserter repeatedly, will stand in front of the Northwest Army in the future, shouting the slogan of the brave who meet on the narrow road wins." ”

"It's just obsession, I think when you get to that position, you won't have such doubts anymore, everyone will experience failure, but what I'm afraid of is that the attitude after failure is either sluggish, or hard work, I personally think that this is the main course that the battalion commander is going to take now, if you can't pass this level, your father will definitely not let you sit in his position."

Nodding, Yan Wuji had to admit that Liu Zhilan's words were very reasonable, and from another point of view, it also found an extremely suitable reason for him to escape from the battle several times.

"But I don't want to take this lesson all the time, it's painful."

Liu Zhilan expressed his understanding, clasping his hands on the edge of the battlements, "So this opportunity has come, the Humeng people have just gone south now, and the momentum is in full swing, we want to resist it on the front, it is almost impossible, so we have to buffer." ”

Of course, Yan Wuji understood what Liu Zhilan meant by "buffer", and couldn't help but ask out loud: "How much space do you think this buffer needs?" ”

"The whole of Dingzhou!" Liu Zhilan changed his previous relaxed demeanor, and looked directly into Yan Wuji's eyes with some seriousness, he read the surprise and unwillingness in the other party's eyes, how could he not.

Dingzhou, which the imperial court has spent decades operating, is over like this, how can people be willing, and there is a golden road outside of Molan, where the annual tax accounts for one-seventh of the total tax revenue of the imperial court, if it is lost, the imperial court not only loses this huge amount of money, but also loses the deterrence of Molan.

However, Liu Zhilan then changed his words, "Although the buffer area is the entire Dingzhou, this does not mean that Dayan is going to lose this land, that is, the opportunity I mentioned before. ”

"You're saying I'll take my troops back here?" Yan Wuji obviously didn't expect this, in fact, what Liu Zhilan said before, he more or less expected something, Hu Meng is arrogant, the best way to deal with it is to avoid its edge, the whole line into a defensive state, and wait until the vigor of Hu Meng's army is exhausted, Yan Jun will launch a counterattack and drive the Hu Meng people back in one go.

But he thought of a lot of qualifications to command this defense

The people who fought back, such as Hao Zifeng, such as Gu Liangchen, and even Yan Hu personally went into battle, but the only thing he didn't think about was himself, or he never had this self-confidence.

Liu Zhilan nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's you, I guess your father also has this idea, if it is not as I expected, when you break out of Xiema Town, the new appointment letter for you from the side of Yuguan will be sent to you quickly, you are now the battalion commander, then the next military rank should be the military commander." ”

"Heh, it's really on the rise!" Yan Wuji laughed at himself a little.

Liu Zhilan said with envy: "Sooner or later, Yan Dashuai just planned ahead of time because of Hu Meng's invasion." ”

After speaking, Liu Zhilan looked at the endless Humeng camp outside the city again, and sighed, "So I want to make sure you break out safely." ”

Yan Wuji glanced up and down at Liu Zhilan, smiled slightly, and said no more, as if he was saying: "If it is a strategy, I may not be as good as you, but this breakthrough is a knife-to-knife comparison, and I can't protect you." ”

And Liu Zhilan obviously saw all the other party's expressions in his eyes, stretched his body, and didn't talk anymore, not that he didn't want to talk, but the situation outside the city, there was no time for them to chat.

As the sun sank to the west, the originally scattered Humeng army was once again neatly assembled under the walls of Shema Town, and the charred instruments and corpses still had a little spark, but this scene like a burning hell did not make the Humeng soldiers on the opposite side timid.

"Go and call the commander, the Humeng are ready to attack again." An attack horn sounded again, and the Humeng people attacked again much earlier than expected, and from the other side, it can be seen that the military quality of the Humeng army that can be commanded by the Commander has exceeded the expectations of Yan Wuji and others.

When Hao Zifeng ascended the city tower, Hu Meng's phalanx happened to enter the range of the crossbow bed again, and the sound of the "crunch" crossbow bed winding and churning on the city wall rose and fell one after another, and the situation was even more serious than he had predicted before.

"How much tung oil is left?" Hao Zifeng's first sentence when he climbed the city wall was to ask how much tung oil there was, after all, this thing was the guarantee that Xiema Town would not stand now.

"There are still two thousand barrels, which is no longer enough to attack with another fire." Liu Zhilan had already sent someone to count the amount of tung oil at the end of the battle, so when Hao Zifeng asked, he answered in one bite, but after answering, he couldn't help but add that this life-saving talisman was no longer enough.

"Do your best, Mowgli, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go take a look at the other three walls." Hao Zifeng patted Yan Wuji's shoulder, feeling goodbye.

Yan Wuji didn't know Hao Zifeng's thoughts, he was now the highest military governor in Xiema Town, and he was also the highest-ranking person, as long as the Humeng people broke the city, they would definitely flock to him, and it would be difficult to escape, so if he and Yan Wuji were together, it would affect Yan Wuji, after all, the Humeng people didn't know that there was a successor of the Northwest Army in this city.

Yan Wuji asked Liu Zhilan to stay in the city tower to continue commanding, and he led the scout team under the command of the original independent battalion to enter the sword shadow again, hunting and killing every Hu Meng soldier who rushed to the city wall.

"Kill!" A soldier in a robe

Enraged by Ze's death, he jumped onto the board of the ladder and put it on the city wall with the broadsword that had been curled in his hand, and slashed forward with all his might, two equally crazy Humeng soldiers rushed forward without fear, and the man in front was slashed by the broadsword in the left shoulder blade, but he did not fall, but threw away the scimitar in his hand, and clasped the broadsword on his shoulder with both hands, which had fallen into half of the blade, to create an opportunity for his companions behind him.

And the companion behind him did not disappoint him, one jumped forward, and the sharp scimitar in his hand slashed through the neck of the Yan soldier, and a huge head fell into the city, followed by two corpses, "bang", and fell to pieces.

There was also a soldier who was frightened by the fear in front of him, staring tremblingly at the figures passing by in front of him, he forgot to wave the weapon in his hand, and also forgot to dodge the oncoming attack, until a blinding cold light flashed, he suddenly realized that he was still on the battlefield, but the next moment, he could no longer feel his body.

Such a scene is playing out all the time on the four walls of Xiema Town, and the fierce Humeng people have a natural oppressive power advantage over the Yan people, and they scream all the time, gradually establishing local advantages on the city wall, and these advantages are the first targets chosen by Yan Wuji and the scout team behind him.

Throat slitting, heart stabbing, the scout members here, the movements are always so simple and effective, when a force of more than a dozen Humon people has established an advantage against these scouts, the battle is often over in only ten breaths.

Even Kelie, who was far away in the Humeng camp, couldn't help but say slightly when he saw this scene from afar: "What kind of people are this, how can they be so powerful?" ”

Temuter also has a full view of these, for him, this kind of thing has been seen several times, before his troops, several times have established advantageous areas on the city wall, but often are directly targeted by these guys, and then these advantageous areas in an instant, the situation will be reversed, and the leader of the Yan army, his figure has been firmly imprinted in Temutel's mind.

"Koloshe!" An earth-shattering shout of killing sounded from the west of the city, and countless torches converged into a fiery snake, which quickly drilled into the city from outside the west of the city, and then began to spread to the streets and alleys of Shema Town.

"The city is broken, west!" Temutel glanced at the west of the city, this city that made him hateful, it was actually broken like this, a thick unwillingness came out of his heart, and suddenly thought of a story he heard when he was a child, "A person is full after eating ten cakes, so he complains to the shopkeeper, why don't you just give him the tenth cake, so that he will be full after eating, how can he buy the first nine cakes." ”

This sounds funny, but in the eyes of those who are good at scheming, they can buy this tenth cake directly, and there is a living example in front of them, and he looks at Kelie in front of him with a somewhat complicated expression, as if he has long known that this Xiema Town will be breached, and he looks like he takes it for granted, which makes Temutel have the urge to go up and beat him for the first time.

"Aren't you unwilling?" Kelie in front suddenly turned his head to look at Temutel, and the latter could only shake his head, without saying a word, Kelie got off the platform disapprovingly, and walked towards the Chinese army camp, "Who said that a piece of bread can't fill your stomach?" ”

Now that the city gate has been broken, there is no need to look any further!
