Puling City.

The city wall was heavily defended, and in order to resist Lu Linxuan and Lu Kang's attack, Tao Jixi arranged half of the elites in the city on the city wall.

Day and night patrols, always vigilant.

Zhao Tuo met with the envoys of Daqian who came and learned that Zhao Chen, Mu Yi, and Mu Heng had stopped fighting and Dakang had restored a rare peace.

For this, Zhao Tuo was extremely happy.

Lu Linxuan, Lu Kang, and the leader did not retreat, allowing him to live like a year.

Zhao Chen congratulated him on his birthday, and he had already stopped fighting.

Little King Qin, dare to eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, and insist on fighting against Puling City within the time specified by Daqian?

He was eager for the truce set by the great cadres to come immediately and win a chance to breathe.

Sending off the messenger, Zhao Tuo told Zhao Chang to prepare a birthday banquet gift.

First, he hoped that Zhao Chang would go to Longcheng to celebrate his birthday, consolidate the relationship with Daqian, and warn King Mo of Qin to be too arrogant.

Second, he learned from Shen Yun, who was passing through Xiangzhou, that the King of Qin refused to go to Longcheng to congratulate Emperor Wen on his birthday, which would inevitably anger the officials.

If you take the opportunity to present gold, silver and jewelry, win over the big cadres and officials, make them speak well to Emperor Wen, and send troops to conquer the Qin State.

At a slight cost to the comeback, it is also worth it for Xiangzhou to usher in calm.

It's a pity that Zhao Tuo overestimated the deterrent power of Daqian to the Qin State.

Dong Qizhong, Guo Muyu, Gao Yi, Han Xun, led the troops from Qingshui City in embarrassment, and there was no time to recuperate, Lu Linxuan and Lu Kang led the army to attack.

They set up camp outside Puling City, and sent small groups of elites to harass them day and night.

The earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums sounded like a muffled thunder every three or five times, and the defenders in the city were exhausted, always in a state of tension, unable to rest.

This move was barely overcome by the three armed forces.

Yesterday, the King of Qin led the army to come, and the Qin army did not stop harassing, and a small group of elites attacked the city, but became more and more frequent.

However, a large number of elite horses and turtles cowered in the barracks, making people wonder what the intentions of the Qin army were.

If they don't defeat this Qin army, it will be like a sharp sword hanging above their heads at all times, making him restless and unable to sleep and eat.

Fortunately, there are only six days before the time stipulated by the Great Qian, and it is difficult to get through it.

Inside the camp of the Qin army.

Ji Xuanling took the four princesses, asked with Jia, Shen Tuxiu, and Gaozong left the army to come.

There is no thunder, launch an attack.

He was waiting, waiting for Wu Yuankui, and Mu Cangchi sent back good news.

Between Changchuan City and the Battle of Qingshui City, the Qin army fought to the death, and many soldiers were lost.

After personally leading scouts to reconnoiter on the periphery of Puling City, Ji Xuanling was unwilling to adopt a strong attack strategy, lest the Qin army die in vain.

After returning from the reconnaissance, Ji Xuanling entered the military tent and sat on the throne drinking tea to quench his thirst.

Sweeping Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan, Jia asked, Lu Kang, and asked in a loud voice: "Zhao Tuo sent people to deploy defenses in Puling City in advance, and now a large number of elites in Xiangzhou are gathered in the city and forcibly seize the city, and it will inevitably be staged again with blood flowing and floating corpses everywhere."

Asked, General Lu, General Shentu, you are thinking about what is the best way to take the city, before the time specified by the Great Qian, you must capture Puling City and capture Zhao Tuo alive. ”

Ji Xuanling's attitude is firm and unquestionable.

There was not much time left for him, and there was no room for delay.

Jia asked, Shen Tuxiu, I came with the army yesterday, and I don't know the situation of Puling City.

Listen to the sound, ponder and be silent.

It was Lu Linxuan, and a few confident smiles appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, at the end of the year, a small group of elites were sent to attack the city one after another, and the city defense of Puling City was basically explored, and the defenders of Qingshui City fled into Puling City. The king is right, the storming of the city will definitely lose the army again, but it is not impossible to take the city skillfully. ”

Listening to his words and watching his deeds, Ji Xuanling stared directly, and Lu Linxuan seemed to have a good plan in mind.

"General Lu, listening to what you say, it seems that you have a good plan to seize the city!" Ji Xuanling's voice was joyful, and a thick smile rose on his face.

Lu Linxuan nodded, hugged his fists and said: "The last general does have an immature plan to break the city, if it is implemented properly, he may take Puling City." ”

An immature strategy to break the city.

Yes, it's better than nothing.

For a while, Shen Tuxiu and Jia asked, and they all turned to look at the prime minister, and they also wanted to hear Lu Linxuan's strategy.

"General Lu, what are your plans, tell me quickly." Ji Xuanling became interested and urged urgently.

Lu Linxuan got up, walked to the front of the screen hanging in the center of the tent, pointed to the city defense of Puling City, and slowly said his suggestions.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

When he was young, Shen Tuxiu took the lead in shouting praise.

"Well, it's a clever idea." Jia asked, nodding in appreciation.

Ji Xuanling's face flashed with joy, he got up and clapped his broad palms, and praised: "General Lu really lives up to the name of a famous general, if he doesn't make a move, he will be a big deal." Yes, yes, this king likes it. ”

Clever and clever.

Naturally, it was effortless to seize the city without the enemy being caught off guard.

Lu Linxuan's plan can be done in four or two.

Ji Xuanling immediately made a decision, staring at Lu Kang: "Lu Kang, within five days, you will complete General Lu's arrangement, and this king will seal you Pulinghou." ”

Five days.

It was only one day away from the time set by the Great Qian.

When the plan was successful, in one day, the Qin army still took Puling City lightly.

"Thank you, the king will never fail the king." Lu Kang clenched his fists and said with a serious face.

Ji Xuanling nodded, clutched his iron fist and said, "General Shentu, General Lu, this time I bother you to cover Lu Kang and ensure that he implements the plan." ”

"Whoa!"

Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan is the best.

After the discussion of the monarch and the ministers, act according to the plan immediately.

On this day, in the Qin camp, the rumbling drums suddenly stopped, and there was no usual small group of elites to attack the city.

In Puling City, the defenders who had been nervous for a long time took a long breath and seized the time to rest.

Night falls.

Black shrouded the earth, when the four fields were quiet.

In the Qin camp, the rumbling drums that Jing Xiangjun hated once again sounded.

An elite Qin army, holding torches high, like ghosts in the night, quickly approached the north gate of Puling City.

Shen Tuxiu grabbed the long axe, led 10,000 elites, and arrived outside the north gate in a mighty way, Shen Tuxiu raised his head and glanced at the city towering in front of him, raised the long axe and shouted: "Brothers, act according to the plan." ”

As soon as the military order came out, this group of elite cavalry marched in formation.

The forwards lined up with shields and formed rows of parapets, and the archers hidden behind the shield arrays grabbed their longbows and arrows, and the ape arms and muscles soared, and quickly shot at the defenders at the head of the city.

The remaining elite of the army beat gongs and drums and shouted in unison, like a foraging wolf finding food, howling and calling his companions, making the appearance of forcibly taking the city.

The crisis came unexpectedly, and the Jingxiang army at the head of the city had to cheer up, gather other resting robes, and line up at the head of the city to set up defenses.

It's a pity that this Qin army beat gongs and drums, roared and shouted, but the thunder was loud, the rain was small, and the sparse rain of arrows shot from the longbow made it difficult to help the defenders.

But there were no soldiers bravely riding forward and changing the direction of attack, and there were no soldiers bravely carrying cloud ladders on their shoulders and galloping to attack the city.
