"What!?"

Qingzun was like swallowing poison, and his face was extremely embarrassed.

"Tell me, where are you going!"

"Please spare my life! His wife and children are still waiting in the city. The soldier looked at the blank paper that had already been obtained, and made a gesture that there seemed to be no way to salvage the situation and had no choice but to take action.

"Tell the truth, good wine and good meat are entertained, and there is a heavy reward!"

"I can't go back."

The green tendons on Qingzun's neck burst out, and he said angrily: "Twisted and pinched." If I regret and die, there will be no place to bury! ”

The soldier immediately said in a trembling voice: "It was sent to the Nanping royal family?" ”

Qingzun, who immediately showed a puzzled expression, seemed to murmur, "The south is the plain. ”

"There's a squad of cavalry there. When the cavalry of our people went out of the city and attacked. They will come and kill together, and they will be attacking. ”

"I knew that this Ping royal clan was arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect there to be such a show. If you hadn't helped the Han people back then, you would not be able to have your clan today! He looked down at the dejected Ren soldier again, and said, "That's all?" ”

The messenger nodded repeatedly.

"Loosen the tie and bring down the wine and meat to serve."

In the dark night, the struggle for military power quietly changed. The patriarch of the Chaoxue clan, Xue Wen, was very angry with the Ping royal clan, and the Qing clan was even more like a thorn in the back after learning that the Ping royal clan had an ambush behind him. Both of them began to leave the village non-stop that night, in the same direction, aiming at the city of Qiqi, which was not well garrisoned. They wanted to take the city, and in this case there would be many tribes coming to them, and even they knew that many of them were tired of being ruled by the tyrannical Ping royal clan. Now, these Taishou leaders who collude with each other and guard against each other have set out to fight, and it is a good time to rebel, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And for them now, what they are facing is not whether they can rebel or not, but whether they must resist before being wiped out by the Ping royal family. They thought that after they learned first-hand military information, they would catch the Ping royal family by surprise.

And that's exactly what happened. At the fourth watch, the Chaoxue clan went to the east gate first, and the soldiers quietly put ropes on the wall. But the guards on the wall immediately spotted it and went into battle. Snow Pattern immediately ordered the ladder soldiers to step forward. The ladder originally intended to attack the wall of the Ren clan was strengthened and lengthened, so that it was possible to climb the county town nearly six zhang high.

On the fifth watch, the Qing clan also rushed over, and learned that it was the Chaoxue clan attacking the city, so they immediately sent a document to the Chaoxue clan army array. Snow Pattern, who commanded the troops under the castle, watched the fire on the wall on his warhorse. When the Qing envoy was brought to him, he was greatly surprised.

The envoy said: "The Qing Clan coalition is coming to a halt five miles away, and I don't know what your intentions are. Our patriarch is also here to attack the Ping royal family. ”

Xue Wen narrowed her eyes and thought to herself, "If you want to come to solve the siege, you shouldn't have reacted so quickly." If you want to attack me, you shouldn't have sent a messenger over. He said, "We will strike at the east gate, and you will strike at the south gate." At that time, the two families will gather together to discuss the matter of conquering the nest of the royal family, and the matter of the territory can be discussed. ”

"Yes!"

Qingzun, who was anxiously waiting, finally received a reply from the messenger, and his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately waved his troops forward. They came to the south gate, and without saying a word, they let the ramming car advance and attack the city gate. A large number of soldiers went up to the wall with ropes, and the guards on the wall were sparse, and all of them gathered at the east gate.

Zhu Xiu of Qiqi City was still waiting for a few tribes to defeat the Ren tribe, but unexpectedly, the two big clans led the vassal small clans to attack him, and he was caught off guard for a while. The two gates were breached, the army entered, and street battles began on the roads. The war itself was a long way away, and it was unexpectedly rained from the sky in just one night. The people who lived here were terrified and shut up.

Pang Tong rested in the inner city of his own city, that is, the original city of the Bamei tribe. should have faced the danger of soldiers approaching the city, but at the moment he was lying on the straw mat with Erlang's legs crossed, and his hands were pillowed under his head. However, Bagu, Bai Luo, and Jin Bei were sitting on the side, and they seemed to be very anxious. In their eyes, this man was too calm, a little too calm. It is this calmness in the face of the crisis that makes their anxiety unable to break through their minds.

Pang Tong has gone through so many wars and dangers, he is no longer afraid, if he can't do it, he has other plans, as long as he is alive, he has the courage to continue to fight the enemy.

Pang Tong got up suddenly, and since he was lying flat, he was more sensitive to the sound of footsteps. When the others were still at a loss, Xue Yue walked inside, and if it was a ghost, only Pang Tong could detect such a subtle sound of breaking the wind.

"The city is really under siege."

Jin Bei, Bagu, and Bai Luo all widened their eyes and let out a deep sigh, looking at Xueyue with uncertain and incredulous eyes, and then focused their eyes on Pang Tong, who was already sitting upright. Only this man seems to be able to explain this.

As if he was quite satisfied with his plan, Pang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It seems that my plan has been implemented very smoothly." ”

"That's the strategy you talked about earlier?"

Bai Luo leaned forward, he wanted to know more about the situation.

Jin Bei seems to know less and less about the man in front of him, obviously he has only known this man, it has only been less than a year, and this man has brought earth-shaking changes here. Jin Bei couldn't help but say, "Great Patriarch." He called. In fact, he was the last person among several people to call Pang Tong the great patriarch, and he thought that it was more intimate to call him by name, and it was not easy to have a sense of distance. But in fact, all the rights and status that Pang Tong now has should be respected, so he began to call him that. "Maybe you're very confident in yourself, and we like to be able to get more information, otherwise everyone will be restless."

Bagu, who had rarely spoken, wrinkled unbearably on his face, as if he was aware of the huge gap between himself and Pang Tong, and a feeling of frustrated self-esteem was churning. But Pang Tong soon noticed their strangeness, laughed, and said, "I just don't want everyone to be too anxious, so I acted on my own." "Everybody started listening." I had learned the routes and arrangements of the patrols of the two attacking camps, so I had trained warriors pass through these routes with paperwork and were deliberately caught. What they saw was that the Ping royal clan had colluded with us in order to destroy them, and lured them here. These people themselves are dissatisfied with the Ping royal family, and after discovering this situation, their emotions can be imagined. ”

Bai Luo let out a deep sigh and said, "It's just that you are playing with it!" ”

Jin Bei nodded with relief. Bagu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I finally didn't misunderstand you, a man who hides a lot of strange thoughts in his head." ”

Xue Yue was still standing at the door, as if waiting for Pang Tong's order. And the three elders seemed to have peace of mind. However, Pang Tong sneered: "This is not enough, the show has just been staged." ”

The nerves of the three of them immediately tensed again.

In the afternoon of the next day, the latest battle report was received. The city was captured by two tribes, the defenders in the city were all wiped out, and Zhu Xiu absconded. At the same time, Nanyu County in the north has been occupied by rebels, and the Shu army seems to have taken the initiative to withdraw from the city, and the specific purpose is unknown. After receiving the news that the county town was captured, Zhu Bao, the Taishou of Qiqi County, returned with 200,000 men and horses. Under such circumstances, the Qing clan and the Chaoxue clan in Qiqi City were tied to a line of life and death. The territory of their own tribes was also stepping up their defenses, but after the main fighting forces were gathered in the city, the two tribes hoped to defeat Zhu Bao's army in one fell swoop. Their vassals were also brought into this war from which there was no way back. If the Ping royal clan is defeated, it can be seen that there may be this troubled era, or there may be a situation where the big tribes united by the Chaoxue clan and the Qing clan will unify the county.

All kinds of speculation are spreading, and even the residents of the city are worried. Although they are not traumatized, very few of them die as a result of the war. Neither did the tribesmen think of attacking or plundering them.
