The Qin army came violently, as if it was just to tease Jing Xiangjun.

When Tao Jixi and Gao Yi appeared at the head of the city, they carefully observed the behavior of the Qin army and found that the Qin army neither attacked nor led the army to go, and when they deliberately harassed, they stomped their feet angrily and scolded.

"General Tao, what does the Qin army mean, weaken the fighting spirit of our army, and then take the city strongly?" Gao Yi asked angrily.

This Qin army was completely different from the Qin army outside Qingshui City, far less decisive and simple than them, and even stopped outside the city.

Under the cover of night, the line of sight was blocked, and it was impossible to reconnoiter the number of Qin troops.

Tao Jixi did not directly answer Gao Yi's question, and climbed the city tower to look down.

When it was found that the Jingxiang army was lax, the Qin army launched an attack, but when the Jingxiang army was fighting, the Qin army stopped fighting and rested.

In an hour, this is repeated.

Gradually, Tao Jixi's anger grew from his heart.

Gao Yi's guess was right, this group of miscellaneous people deliberately consumed the fighting spirit of Jing Xiangjun.

Angry, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tell Gao Yi to lead the army to defend the city and always cheer up.

When it's true, it's true, and when it's fake, it's true.

The Qin army did this repeatedly, and once the Jingxiang army was tired and the defense was lax, the Qin army suddenly launched an attack.

As a last resort, Tao Jixi gave an order, the soldiers in the camp hurried to rest, and the defenders at the head of the city strictly defended to the death, and took turns to defend the city, so as not to be dragged down by the Qin army and meet the enemy with a tired body.

with this.

In the vast night, Lu Kang led six hundred elites, under the cover of darkness and drums, quietly arrived behind a small dirt slope hundreds of steps away from the northeast corner of Puling City.

Under the cover of the dirt slope, the whole army stopped and unloaded their weapons.

These weapons were not longbows, iron swords, shields, or spears for siege warfare, but shovels, iron pickaxes, and baskets used by cultivators to carry dirt.

Lu Kang walked around the neighborhood and glanced up at the brightly lit Puling City.

Holding a sword, he drew more than a dozen circles on the ground in a row, and said in a low voice: "Brothers, this is it, dig, dig to the base of the city wall." ”

Dig tunnels.

This is the plan proposed by Lu Linxuan.

Within a few days, Lu Linxuan continued to send small groups of elites to attack the city, basically figured out the city defense deployment of Puling City, asked the people nearby, and learned that the soil near Puling City was soft and very suitable for excavation.

It happened that the defense of the four corners of the city was the most lax, so Lu Linxuan proposed to dig through the two city walls in the northeast and northwest.

When it comes to the siege, give Zhao Tuo a big surprise.

Hearing the sound, six hundred elites moved quickly.

In the next few days, the Qin army beat drums day and night, attacked by surprise during the day, and the soldiers were outside at night, and the Jingxiang army could not survive in peace.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

There is only one day left before the truce stipulated by the Great Cadres.

Wu Yuankui, Mu Cangchi led dozens of elites, returned from Qianzhou.

Knowing that Shen Yun's mission was completely annihilated, Ji Xuanling was overjoyed and said proudly: "Now, taking Puling City and killing Zhao Tuo is justified." ”

At noon, Lu Kang returned, and the plan was completed.

Everything.

Ji Xuanling no longer hesitated, and ordered the generals to reorganize the army and send troops to fight.

On this day, Zhao Tuo was still not relaxed in Puling City.

It is getting closer and closer to the time stipulated by the Great Qian, the Qin army did not attack the city, but it did not retreat, and Zhao Tuo's thoughts were solemn.

Convene the generals to discuss the military situation.

Zhao Chang came in a hurry, and said with joy on his face: "Father, the child has prepared a birthday gift, and will lead the delegation to Dragon City tomorrow." Before leaving, the Qin army was always eyeing outside the city, the father was in a threat, and the sons were afraid to go to Daqian, but the Qin army was still fighting frantically, which was not good for the father. ”

"That's right, King Qin refused to go to Daqian, and he was probably desperate." Tao Jixi said.

The Jingxiang army was defeated one after another, and the Qin army did not retreat for a long time.

If it were not at the time set by the Great Cadre, they prayed that the plan to use the prestige of the Great Cadre to force the Qin army to a truce would have been frustrated in advance.

As a result, the situation of Puling City may become worse and worse.

"Lord Wang, General Tao, according to the scout's report, the officials in Xianyang today have escorted a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, King Qin, King Qin may go to Longcheng to celebrate his birthday." Dong Qizhong said.

King Qin went to Dragon City to celebrate his birthday.

Hearing this, Zhao Tuokuo slapped his palm on the desk, since King Qin went to Longcheng to celebrate his birthday, why didn't he lead the army to leave, and shouted: "Ji Xuanling is too deceitful, doesn't he take Emperor Wen in his eyes?" ”

For a while, the hall was quiet for a moment.

That's right.

What King Qin did did not take Daqian seriously.

Now they even suspect that King Qin deliberately provoked Daqian and provoked Emperor Wen.

"Father, if the King of Qin goes to Longcheng to celebrate his birthday, the child will ask Emperor Daqian to read a copy of him." Zhao Chang was furious.

Ji Xuanling was aggressive, and intended to kill them quickly.

If you don't try to fight back, Xiangzhou will fall, and the remaining two states will not be able to protect themselves!

At this time, Zhao Tuo didn't have time to admonish, and a scout hurriedly ran in, his face pale, and he was out of breath: "Lord Wang, something is wrong, Shen Yun, the envoy of the Great Qian, was assassinated by an assassin when he returned to the Great Qian from Qianzhou, and a team of people were all killed. ”

"What?"

Zhao Tuo was like a monkey sitting on a soldering iron, suddenly jumped up from the soft couch, and exclaimed: "You tell me clearly, what is going on?" ”

"Lord Wang, the bandit of Dongwu Mountain, killed Shen Yun."

The scout stammered in reply, he didn't know exactly what was going on, after all, he was only delivering letters.

Dongwu Mountain.

When Zhao Tuo heard the voice, he seemed to have been drained of his energy, and sat on the soft couch with a pale face, as if he had lost his soul.

Shen Yun was killed.

He also planned to rely on the Great Cadre, and now the Great Cadre Envoy has died in his territory.

If you don't catch the murderer quickly, how can you explain it to Daqian.

If you don't do it, go to Dragon City to celebrate your birthday, and it will become a suicide road.

In the hall, Zhao Chang, Tao Jixi, Dai Yangshuo, Dong Qizhong and other generals and staff members also secretly panicked, and had a very bad premonition.

The bandits of Dongwu Mountain, after the tragic death of Tao Ce, led the stragglers and occupied the mountain as the king.

In recent years, Zhao Tuo and Sun Ming have been fighting, and it is too late to send troops to exterminate this bandit.

But he didn't expect that the envoys of the great cadres passed through here and died tragically in Qianzhou.

so that he may be regarded as the real culprit behind the scenes by the great cadres and ministers, and will be requisitioned by the elite of the great cadres.

"Lord Wang"

Dai Yangshuo had just spoken, about to ask Zhao Tuo how to solve it, when a lieutenant rushed in. Kneeling down on one knee and said: "Lord Wang, the Qin army is pouring out of the nest, and under the banner of avenging Shen Yun, the envoy of the Great Qian, and defending the majesty of the Great Qian, they are gathering outside the city. ”

"The Qin army is assembled?"

"Avenge the envoy of the Great Cadre?"

The house leaked and the wind was even rainy, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he almost fainted in one breath.

Qin Jun even knew that Shen Yun had died in Dongwu Mountain, and in an instant, he was guarding the alien form.

Defending the glory of the great cadres turned out to be the slogan of the Qin army's troops.

If they didn't quickly find the fierce beast behind the murder of Shen Yun, even if they sent congratulatory gifts to Longcheng, even if the King of Qin waved his army to occupy Xiangzhou, the great cadres were afraid that they would not help him and help the Qin army.
