Hung Shang Plug.

Watching the city gate slowly close, the Zhongshan army fled into the city in embarrassment, and Li Yan spit out the blood in his mouth. He slammed down on the ground and pressed against the corpse of a Zhongshan man, not caring at all about the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood behind him. The sword that had been curled was thrown to the ground by him, but in fact, he could no longer hold the weapon, and his whole arm was sore and numb, as if he had lost contact with his body. The wound on his face was hot and painful, and he hoped that he had not ruined his handsome appearance. With difficulty, he raised his hand and unbuckled the armor on his chest, completely oblivious to the fact that he was still on the battlefield.

"Captain, how are you?" Seeing Li Yan, who has always paid great attention to his words and deeds, lying on the corpse on the battlefield regardless of his image, the people around him hurriedly stepped forward to care for him.

"It's okay, it's just too ... He's fucking tired. He struggled to unbuckle the last tripper, lifted his sweat-soaked coat and armor, and let out a long breath.

"It's better for the lieutenant to be careful, and you need to be cold."

"It's okay, after fighting for so long, a certain is about to fall apart, so even if the Zhongshan people are a piece of iron, they should be deformed." He complained, took the kettle they handed over, and took a sip of it, his Adam's apple moving up and down regularly in the setting sun, making his decadent look a little sexy.

"Around mid-autumn, it's probably like that. The weather was hot, our army and Zhongshan held each other for a long time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. A subordinate explained.

Li Yan nodded, of course he knew that this kind of stalemate battle would not take advantage of the attacking side, and it would also cause huge casualties to the defending side, which was a lose-lose tactic. But the plug is simply too important for both sides. To put it mildly, with the Ori Shangsai, the northern part of Zhongshan has become the back garden of Zhao Guo, and if you want to walk around and stay, the part-time job is too casual. In the same way, the control of the Upper Fortress is in the hands of Zhongshan, which poses a threat to the entire Dai County, and Zhongshan can unite with the Yan State at any time to crusade against the Dai County. And Handan to Daijun, even if you want reinforcements, it is too long, and the time is very tight.

"What does General Zhao's order say? When do you ask us to retreat? Li Yan took the kettle in his hand and poured it again. Truth be told, after this intense exercise, people are extremely dehydrated.

"August 11." The adjutant said, "Your Excellency has ordered that, regardless of the outcome of the battle, on August 13, all plans for the attack will be cancelled, except for the cities already occupied, and the army will return to our cities for repairs by August 15 at the latest. ”

"Today?"

"On the eighth day of August, there are still three days to go." The adjutant general glanced at him and said cautiously.

"Damn." Li Yan threw the kettle on the ground, stood up, and strode under the city wall. It has been in business for many years, not only the cliffs on both sides of the fortress are slippery, so that Zhao Jun can not find the opportunity to climb into the city, and even the city wall is clean, not even a single grass. Not to mention having people climb with their bare hands. Such a fortress, it seems, there is no other way than to storm it.

"If you can give a few more days, you will definitely let it become a fence for Zhao Guozi." He looked at the city wall and said resentfully.

"Actually, I don't blame the time given by the king for being too short, mainly because I heard that our army's speed of conquering Zhongshan was too resolute, which shocked the Qi and Yan countries that were on the sidelines, and sent envoys to warn the Zhao State many times that the Zhongshan Kingdom must not be destroyed."

How could Li Yan not know these things? Before Zhao Xi was in charge of seizing the Shan Shang Fortress, he said that if he couldn't fight quickly, I am afraid that the Qi State and the Yan State would come forward to hinder the attack of the Zhao State, even if it was the Qin State, I am afraid that he was not a person who liked to watch from the wall. If no envoys were sent, I'm afraid it was just a matter of consideration.

"This is also forced by the situation, there is no way." Said the adjutant general.

Li Yan's eyes widened, seeing that the shangstuff was right in front of him, but there was nothing he could do. The people around him looked at his back, seemed to be trembling, and couldn't tell whether he was angry or cold, and while feeling ashamed, he couldn't help but step forward and persuade him not to be angry.

It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred. Just when everyone stepped forward to persuade Li Yan, a feather arrow broke through the air, and everyone was caught off guard, and they were just about to dodge, but they saw a "poof" sound of the feather arrow and flew into Li Yan's chest! Li Yan's expression froze in a moment of surprise, and time and space became clear, so that when he slowly fell, he seemed to be able to see the contemptuous smile of the killer at the head of the city. The splash of blood is so bewitching in the sunset, but it makes people feel desperate.

"Protect the General! Archer! Archer! Only then did everyone react, and they rushed forward and surrounded the fallen Li Yan. The Zhao army, who had just relaxed their vigilance around, also rushed to the front from all directions, and the archers didn't care about what formation they didn't have, they shot directly at the head of the city. The generals knew that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, so they hurriedly lifted Li Yan and ran towards Zhao Jun's camp. Shouting the medic as he ran. The troops covering behind did not have time to close the team in order, and fled back to their barracks in embarrassment. For a while, the entire Zhao army seemed to be in a mess. However, whether it is the Zhao army who was conspired against, or the Zhongshan army who succeeded in the sneak attack, there is a question trapped in their hearts: Is Li Yan alive or not?

Throughout the night, the camp of the Zhao army was brightly lit, and on the wall of the fortress, the guards of the Zhongshan army observed the changes in the camp of the Zhao army. On the whole, the Zhao army seems to be still neat and uniform, and it has no effect, but they feel that there seems to be some unclear emotions that are churning over the Zhao army's military camp.

"You say, is the general of the Zhao army dead?" On the tower of the city, an adjutant general looked at the Zhao Jun military camp not far away and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"It's hard to say." Another said, "Hitting the target at a distance of 200 paces is not difficult for Tetsu. But if you want to shoot and kill, just ...... "The Zhe in his mouth is the most powerful marksman in the Ori Shangsai, hitting the target in 200 steps, even if it is put in other countries, it is one of the best combat heroes."

When everyone heard their conversation, they also expressed their opinions, but when these people got together, the final result was nothing more than that they all felt that the possibility of Li Yan's death was relatively small.

"General." All eyes were on the man standing at the front. He looked at the Zhao Jun barracks in front of him with deep eyes, and people couldn't see joy and anger.

"If the other party's commander is dead, what should Zhao Jun do next?"

"I think we'll be withdrawing." One person guessed, "If the army does not have a commander, will it still be able to attack?" ”

"In other words, as long as the Zhao army shows signs of withdrawing, it means that the other party's commander has passed away?"

Everyone was stunned by such a rhetorical question, and it seemed that it was okay to understand it this way. "What do you mean?"

"Wait and see, wait for the opportunity to pursue." He said lightly.

In the next two days, Zhao Jun behaved very normally, in addition to strengthening his vigilance, he hung up the war-free card, and the Zhongshan people came forward to challenge, and Zhao Ren didn't care about it, and there was no intention of facing the battle.

"What are Zhao Jun's concerns? Will their Lord still be alive? "The generals of Zhongshan, who have been troubled by these two problems for the past two days, have almost been restless.

"Hell knows."

Indeed, perhaps only the ghost knows whether the chief general of the Zhao army has been killed.

"There's no way to go on like this. In case this left and right, the main general of the Zhao army has already died, and what we are waiting for in the end is the reinforcements of the Zhao country, this will be more than worth the loss. One complained.

"So what do you say?" Another fat general scoffed.

"I... I don't know. He said in a slurred, and glanced at the chief general sitting at the top by the way. On this occasion, it is better to protect yourself, otherwise you will become a backstabber sooner or later.

For a while, the hall became extraordinarily quiet again.

"Perhaps, we can test and tempt." After a while, the adjutant general, who was sitting in the first place, said.

"Temptation? How to tempt? His proposal, apparently, aroused the interest of others.

Seeing that his opinion had been answered, the adjutant general plucked up his courage and continued: "Zhao Jun seems to have been very calm in the past two days, but none of us know what kind of tricks are secretly in the background. Even if the other party's main general is killed, they put on a calm appearance, we don't know. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, get to the point." Someone urged impatiently.

The adjutant general's face was unswerving, and he glared fiercely at the person who demolished his platform, and when he turned around, he saw that the main general was also a little impatient, and hurriedly stopped selling Guan Zi and said: "Instead of guessing again, we might as well visit Zhao Ying at night." ”

"Night detective Zhao Ying?" When everyone heard this, they struck a stirring spirit, and began to speculate about the consequences of doing so.

"Not bad. Zhao Ying's vigilance work is very good, and if you want to know what conspiracy they have, you have to go to Zhao Ying. Moreover, we are raiding overnight, and as long as it is arranged properly, there will definitely be unexpected gains. ”

"It doesn't matter what the windfall is, the key is to know if the other party's main general is dead. If the other party's lord is dead, then Zhao Jun has been waiting for reinforcements to arrive for the past two days, and if the lord is not dead, then Zhao Jun must have other plans. ”

"Yes, yes." Many people echoed that at this time, this may be the only way to find out.

After everyone agreed, they focused their eyes on the main general.

The main general swept the others, squinted his eyes and lowered his head to ponder for a while, and said slowly: "In this case, everyone must plan carefully, how to act this night visit to Zhao Ying." ”

On the main hall of the Ori Shangsai, the lights are brilliant, and this night, I don't know what conspiracies there are, and they are about to appear.
