On the river, a silent river crossing is being staged.

In order to avoid detection, the use of torches was forbidden, and the bridge deck was no more than seven or eight feet wide, and the cavalry could only be one man in front and horses behind. Although the horses themselves are not afraid of water, the river is still bitterly cold in May, and the pontoon bridge is very simple, purely pulled by two thick hemp ropes, even if the wooden stakes on both sides are deep enough, they cannot bear too much weight at the same time, and the number of people who pass each time must be strictly limited, otherwise the ropes on the bridge deck will have to worry about collapse. Xu Yuan roughly estimated that it would take at least four hours for all his 5,000 men and horses to cross the river.

Four hours later, he looked up at the sky, and it was about the end of the day, and by the time they had crossed the river, it was already ugly. No, he shook his head and said to the people around him: "Go and inform the troops crossing the river, speed up the crossing, and make sure that all the river crossings are completed by the right time." The herald was stunned, he looked at Xu Yuan like a madman, although this speed is much slower now, but it can ensure safety, if you speed up again, it will fall into the river, then it will be worth the loss. But seeing Xu Yuan's resolute look, he didn't dare to doubt it, so he hurriedly went to pass the order.

Xu Yuan was anxiously crossing the river, and Li Zhuo was also anxiously waiting, waiting for news of the scouts who went out to explore the way. He had a thousand people rest and watch in a hidden place, waiting for news from the front. As far as he is concerned, it is best to be safe and sound, and if there is an accident, he will be in danger. It's just that Xu Yuan's attitude made him hesitate. In case the time comes, Xu Yuan disagrees......

The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence of the night, and at a glance, it was slightly hideous and terrifying. Li Zhuo's heart has already mentioned his throat, he and the others have set a rule, they must return to the camp at the time, the purpose is to change the guard and report the results, seeing that the time has come, I don't know why there are only scouts all the way, could it be that everyone else has suffered an accident?

Just when he was puzzled, the sound of horses' hooves was remembered one after another, and all the personnel immediately leaned down and looked at the comer, which had become the standard defensive action of the Baijin soldiers. Seeing that everyone dismounted one after another and ran towards the camp, Li Zhuo relaxed his guard. Everyone reported their news to Li Zhuo. This time, Li Zhuo sent a total of ten squads, each team of ten people, according to everyone's report, a total of five Qin army patrols were eliminated, the other side did not survive, two of us were seriously injured, one was slightly injured, and no one died. This is not to say that the Qin people have poor combat effectiveness or the combat effectiveness of the Baijin soldiers is strong, the main reason is that the Zhao State is mainly sneak attacking, and they often fight in small teams, so it is normal to be able to achieve such results.

This side of the box eliminated the patrol of the Qin State, the people of the Qin State will definitely send troops to patrol, this place is too close to the Great Wall of the Qin State, in case of alarming the defenders, it will not be able to pass the pass. Moreover, Li Zhuo can be sure that once the Qin army finds out that his patrol team has not returned, in addition to continuously sending scouts to look for it, he will definitely spread the police to the Great Wall and do a good job of vigilance, at that time, it will be difficult to think about it again.

The coldness of the border pass sometimes exudes a chill, no matter what, it makes people feel different. Wei Zhang walked out of the door of the house, looking at the starry sky and the vast sky, but a gust of cold wind came out, and he quickly rubbed his hands to keep warm.

He was originally leading the troops in the Zhizhi Institute, the Great Wall was plugged, and he had his own deputy general to take care of it. But now that the river has reached the level of water, although he knows that the Zhao State next door and the Hu people on the plug do not dare to fight the Qin State, it is better to be cautious. Therefore, at this time, that is, in April and May, he would inspect the Great Wall and remind the local defenders to do a good job of defense, and Shimao was also the northeastern city of Qin. The guards also knew about his habit, so they naturally accommodated him, in fact, in the hearts of many people, like Wei Zhang, they all felt that no matter how bold the people of Zhao were, they would only cross the river from the only few ferries, because those ferries would directly threaten the nearest city. And like the Great Wall, there is neither a suitable ferry, nor an important city, if the Zhao army is from here for a large-scale military operation, just crossing the river is a big problem, imagine how many men and horses Zhao needs to have the courage to go deep into the hinterland of the Qin State to attack the city?

Wei Zhang also knew it in his heart, but he was originally from Wei, if Zhang Yi hadn't recommended him, he would not have been recognized by King Qin, and he and Zhang Yi could be regarded as an alliance, one with glory and one loss. Before Zhang Yi was prosperous in the Qin State, he was also respected in Xianyang City, and even the King of Qin also asked for warmth to himself, and many people hoped to get Zhang Yi's recommendation through Wei Zhang.

However, after Zhang Yi returned from Wei, the situation took a turn for the worse, and Zhang Yi was gradually not treated well by the King of Qin, complaining that he had not handled the affairs of Wei well, and Wei Zhang, who was implicated, was also exiled by the King of Qin to Fushi, responsible for border defense. The implementation of such a work is probably a position to make a lot of achievements in other countries, but in the Qin State, the Great Wall in the north only needs to defend against the invasion of the Hu people, as for the prevention of the big river and the ferry, I'm sorry, naturally there are other generals to manage, and there is no ferry in this section of the skin, who will attack? Therefore, in the eyes of the generals of the Qin State, exile in Fushi basically has nothing to do with military exploits. Wei Zhang wanted to be like Sima Cuo, Zhu Liji and others, and told them that a certain Wei Zhang was not a mediocre person.

Thinking of this, he smiled bitterly twice, he already looked like a hairdresser, and he still thought about such a good thing, like Sima Cuo and others, I'm afraid it should be said that he was delusional. "Someone."

"General."

"Have the patrolling soldiers ever returned?"

"Hasn't anyone returned?"

"No one has returned."

Wei Zhang's heart struck, thinking that something had happened? "How long have they been out?"

"It's been about two hours. It stands to reason that he should have been back half a quarter ago. ”

"Then why didn't you report it earlier!" Wei Zhang reprimanded sharply, "Send more people and start looking for patrol soldiers." He thought for a while and said, "It's mainly in the direction of the big river, look along the river, find an abnormality, and immediately warn!" ”

"Yes."

"In addition, send out multiple scouts, spread the police on the Great Wall, guard the pass, and be sure to let go of any invading enemy!"

As Wei Zhang's orders were conveyed one level at a time, the Qin people, who had strict military discipline, immediately took action. A group of cavalry scouts galloped on their horses and headed for the river, while others left the city and headed for the Great Wall Pass in the north. All the soldiers were woken up and ready for defense. Wei Zhang knew very well that going out of the city to fight the enemy at this time would definitely be a dead end. He ran back and forth on the city gate, looking at the northeast from time to time, hoping to see the figure of the Qin army coming back, but it was only a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news, which made Wei Zhang's mood begin to be heavy, so that he began to consider whether he was going to report to Xianyang. He also knew in his heart that at this time, whether it was the Zhao State or the Hu people, the gods appeared on the border of the Qin State unconsciously, and he, the master, could not escape the responsibility of the crime, and if he wanted to make a consequence of the crime, he could only annihilate all the enemies who committed the crime in the future, otherwise it would be a dead end.

Just when he was hesitating, suddenly a bright light in the distance ignited, he was about to take a closer look, but found that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, only to find that it was a rocket, quickly lowered how much, but listened to the sound of "Du", the rocket shot on the plaque behind him, and the two big characters "Shi Mao" ignited a raging fire.

He got up and looked, and saw that he didn't know when, outside Shimao City, there was an additional team of thousands of people! The burning fire, it was completely impossible to see whether it was a soldier or a suspicious soldier's plan. However, after all, Wei Zhang is a veteran who has seen battles, and he has long been familiar with this little trick. "Archer, aim for torches, shoot!"

The archers, who had been waiting for a long time, looked through the lookout and began to shoot at the torches according to Wei Zhang's orders.

Li Zhuo could feel at this moment that his heart had reached his throat. After counting the results of the Zhao army's scouts, on the one hand, he arranged for the second group of people to conduct reconnaissance, and on the other hand, he hurried to report the situation to Xu Yuan. He had already made up his mind that even if he disobeyed orders, he would send troops to intercept the reinforcements of the Qin army. However, soon, Xu Yuan's order came, telling him that the Zhao army's action goal had changed, and ordered him to lead his troops to attack, and be sure to delay the Qin army for an hour to buy time for the Zhao army's troops to cross the river.

When Li Zhuo saw the order from Xu Yuan, he immediately understood what he meant, but it was by no means easy to hold off the well-equipped Qin army for an hour, especially since the Qin army was known for its tenacious combat and strict military discipline, and it was also very difficult to defeat the will of the Qin army.

However, Li Zhuo is Li Zhuo after all, he was annoying in the face of the building in Miaoerliang back then, and he could also come up with strange tricks frequently, attacking the enemy with fire, his thoughtfulness and boldness of intentions, even if so many years have passed, it is already better than a lot back then, not to mention that in the past few years, following Zhao Yong, the generals beside him are generals of the level of Pang Cong Leyi, and his knowledge has long been far beyond that of other generals.

At this moment, he is standing under Shimao City, staring at the city wall, waiting for the reaction of the Qin army, if the Qin army guard is a cowardly person, he will only dare to release arrows and dare not go out of the city, then he can complete the task explained by Xu Yuan here, and if the other party is a person who has always been strategic...... At this time, they saw that the Qin army in the city really released arrows, and Li Zhuo and others hurriedly dodged. only to find that the arrows of the Qin army were all greeted by the clusters of torches behind him!

"Hmph, the torches are all extinguished, but no one moans, if there really are so many troops, I'm afraid I won't be shot." Wei Zhang smiled slightly, he really felt naïve about this kind of trick. "Pass my order, the archers will fire three volleys, and the cavalry foot soldiers will follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

In an instant, it began to rain arrows in Shimao City, and this time there was no difference in shooting, even the real Zhao army before Li Zhuo's team was within the shooting range. Of course, Li Zhuo didn't dare to joke with his soldiers, not to mention that they didn't have shields yet, and they were almost defenseless against bows and arrows, so he roared, turned around and was about to flee towards the southeast of the city. At this moment, the gate of Shimao was opened, Wei Zhang led the Qin army to kill the generals, and Li Zhuo did not dare to delay, and led the Zhao army to accelerate the evacuation of the city.

Wei Zhang ran to Li Zhuo's position just now and saw that those who were holding torches were none other than the Qin army scout troops that he kept sending, although there were only a part, but the number was about 100 people, so that the Zhao army just now was less than a thousand people! Looking at the corpses of the Qin army scouts, many of them had different degrees of falls, and some of them were still helping ropes at the heels, Wei Zhang also guessed that it must have been Zhao Jun who tied these corpses to the horse and dragged them to the city, and then disguised as Zhao Jun soldiers, and was placed at the back of the team by Li Zhuo, with torches on his mobile phone, even at the head of the city, it was impossible to determine whether it was a real soldier, if it wasn't for Wei Zhang's trial, I am afraid that he would be frightened by Li Zhuo's suspicious tactics.

"Chase!" Wei Zhang pulled the arrow from a corpse of the Qin army, snapped it violently, and squeezed the word out of his teeth! He has no way out, either he will be completely annihilated by Li Zhuo, or he will be killed by the King of Qin, he chooses the former!

However, Wei Zhang would never have imagined that his reputation would be ruined in the hands of two hairy boys, history is cruel, and he will not sympathize with anyone, even if he used to be infinitely beautiful. And Li Zhuo and Xu Yuan are destined to shock Zhao Guo because of their next actions!

As for the conspiracy of the two hairy boys, please listen to the next breakdown.
