At the head of the city, Wuqiu leaned on the dilapidated city tower tiredly, his eyes involuntarily closed, and then his head slammed a little, and he immediately opened his eyes, looking at the Zhao army under the city wall, which was still waiting to attack. But after a long time, Zhao Jun still didn't attack, he couldn't help but close his eyes again, and then the inertia continued to make him nod violently, and he briefly recovered his spirits.

Not only Wuqiu, but the entire army of Zhongshan Country is now in this state. Since yesterday evening, the Zhao army began to attack the city in turn. If it was attacked, it would be okay at first, Zhao Jun still set up a ladder and rushed to the city, and even climbed the city gate for a time. But later, they didn't bother to attack, every time they shouted and shouted to kill, and then the Zhao army just held torches, rushed to the city gate, and saw Zhongshan Guo release arrows, and they retreated. Each time a line of bows and arrows is left behind.

Over time, Wuqiu thought that Zhao Jun was also tired and was about to retreat, so he instructed his lieutenant general to take care of the city, and he would not have his own home, so he would rest in the city gate building.

But it didn't come to pass, the Zhao army stopped for half an hour, and began to attack again, and when the deputy general woke up Wuqiu, Wuqiu looked at the city, I was obedient, the torches in the sky, I wanted to illuminate the sky in general, if the army just now was only two or three thousand people, then now, as if all the Zhao troops were dispatched, the torches lit in the distance, and the soldiers with shadows, seemed to indicate that the Zhao army was going to attack tonight.

"Damn, is Zhao Jun all iron? Don't sleep at night? "I complained and complained, but I had to brace myself and carefully organize my defense. At the same time, the entire city of houses was mobilized. The common people, who had been anxious since the morning, thought that they would be able to sleep peacefully, but in the end, they still couldn't sleep, so they could only continue to cheer up and participate in the battle.

However, it seems that the Zhao army is huge, but there is still no motivation to attack, every time it attacks the city, it sees Zhongshan Guo release arrows, and immediately withdraws hula la, although after a while, another wave of attacks was organized, but there is still no improvement. This makes Zhongshan people want to laugh and cry, either you have a happy fight, or you go to sleep honestly, this midnight game climbing, how boring are you? Zhao Jun's chief general, isn't he afraid of being scolded?

However, at this time, Li Zhuo, the general of the Zhao army who was in charge of this attack, was already lying on the ground and was about to fall asleep.

"Hey, I don't know if this counts as leading an army? Although there are only two or three thousand people, those straw men can be regarded as ambush soldiers, at least, the Zhongshan people can regard them as real soldiers. He muttered to himself as he bit on the stalk of grass. However, this method is really clever, and it is easy for Zhongshan people to come to sleepless all night and wait for the day. This tired and hungry taste must be uncomfortable. The combination of fiction and reality in this move of the king is the meaning of Sun Wuzi's 'winning with the right and winning with the odd'. ”

Yes, although Zhao Jun's side is very lively, from a distance, it is also full of figures and bright lights, but this can't be seen carefully, because those are just straw men gathered together, although they are lit torches, but they are so far away, the sky is so dark, the defenders of the house are not enough time to kill the enemy to defend, where is there still time to carefully identify?

This is Zhao Yong's method. First use about 2,000 foot soldiers, pretend to siege the city for a while, and to play style, fight bloody, and then the foot soldiers withdraw, with 2,000 baggage troops, divided into two teams, take turns to stage a good siege of the city. Tie up many more straw men, and light torches near them, taking care not to light them, so that from a distance, it looks like a siege army waiting to be attacked, sweeping behind. In fact, only 2,000 baggage troops, urged by the drums, rushed to the bottom of the house, deceived some bows and arrows, and immediately withdrew, and then replaced with another team, and then ran to the city. Take turns acting like this.

Because the soldiers defending the city saw the Zhao army attacking, they had to defend, and with the lesson at the beginning, no one dared to easily think that this was Zhao Jun's trick, so they could only instinctively defend. Not only that, at the beginning, because the fighting was too fierce, all the soldiers defending the city were very tired, and Wuqiu was not the kind of general who was as careful as a hair, and knew that the army should rest in turn, so almost the entire house city was exhausted by the torture of these two thousand heavy soldiers.

And the same main forces, including Zhao Yong and Pang Cong, are resting, although there are drums from time to time, but after a tiring day, they can't take care of so much, not to mention, they can still sleep, and their enemies, not only listened to the drums all night, but also leaned on the city gate, not daring to sleep!

Therefore, when the next day, when the soldiers of the Zhao army were full of energy and ready to attack the city today, their opponents saw clearly by the light of the sun, and the enemy who worried them all night was actually just a group of straw men!

Zhao Yong actually didn't sleep well all night, not because he was worried that the other party would see through his cleverness, but on the first day, he personally saw the bloody war scenes, as long as he lay down, his eyes were full of bloody scenes, which made him feel that every Zhao and Zhongshan people who died in the battle seemed to be holding their stumps and broken arms, and walked slowly towards themselves, while walking, they also let themselves pay for their lives.

This kind of feeling is definitely not something that war movies and horror movies can give, but something that he can really feel. He has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the saying that the shopping mall is like a battlefield, and a small omission or an information error may make him lose all his money and be in debt.

However, today, he realized that no matter how cruel the mall is, it is far inferior to the battlefield, because here, it is not one person who dies, but a group of people, a group of people. If he was indifferent to the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands of war data in the ancient wars, then today is the day when Zhao Yong really transformed.

Wake up and hold the murderous sword, drunk and lying on the knees of the beauty, nothing more than that. Lying on the bed, he thought slowly. However, I couldn't sleep anyway. So I simply got up, waiting for the battle report outside, while standing in front of the sand table, confidently studying the map. It wasn't until Pang Cong Feiyi and others came in that they found that Zhao Yong was stunned in front of the sand table, and he was ashamed in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

"Forget it, you must have had a good rest. So today, be sure to take the house. Zhao Yong waved his hand to everyone, turned around and walked to his place, and then said. General Pang, do you expect that today's battle will be successful? ”

Although this habit is not bad, you must know that an excellent general is often a paranoid gambler, they trust their intuition more than they believe in the data analyzed, so many famous generals throughout the ages have a fanatical adventurous heart. Even if you lose your life, you will not hesitate to lose. And this is exactly what Pang Cong does not have, so he will never reach the height of Naizu Pang Juan.

I saw Pang Cong groaning slightly, and said slowly, "Although the enemy army is very tired, the Zhongshan people have a tough personality and may not be willing to abandon the city and surrender. However, I believe that after last night's whimsical plan, the morale of the enemy army has been greatly damaged, so the ministers will try their best to capture the house today! ”

"Well, that's the best. In this case, there is still General Lao Pang in this siege matter. Zhao Yong nodded, looked at everyone, and asked, "Where is Li Zhuo?" ”

"Your Majesty, Li Zhuo is here." When everyone was looking for him, Li Zhuo appeared at the door of the tent with a relaxed face, and saluted Zhao Yong: "Li Zhuo is here, knock on the king." ”

"You must have been very tired last night, right?" Zhao Yong said with a smile.

"No, Your Majesty. According to the king's arrangement, I first prepared for a sneak attack, and then took turns to attack the house. At the beginning, the Zhongshan people still attacked me, after a while, there were fewer attacks, and in the end, even if our army landed in the city, the other party also responded, if it weren't for my few people, presumably today, General Pang would not have had to work hard. ”

He spoke playfully and innocently, and in the end he couldn't help but complain a little, which made everyone present laugh, and Pang Cong couldn't cry or laugh, not knowing how to respond.

"Haha, in that case, I really have a job for you. If you do a good job, I'll surprise you. Zhao Yong said with a smile.

Li Zhuo's eyes rolled, and then asked, "What if you can't do it?" ”

"If you don't do it well, you can honestly listen to my arrangement, how about it."

Everyone thought to themselves, Zhao Yong's words would be settled on Li Zhuo, because no matter what, Li Zhuo could still disobey Zhao Yong's intentions, and he would do whatever he wanted him to do. Of course, Li Zhuo also knew this, thinking that there was no risk left and right, so he did it.

"The minister listens to the king's arrangement." Li Zhuo leaned over and said.

"In this case, you will lead a team of cavalry to ambush on the hillside ten miles northwest of the house, and be sure to capture the master of this house city alive for me!" It seems that the unbridled laughter of Wuqiu Tuo yesterday still remembers Zhao Yong in his heart, so that he has to capture this guy alive to relieve his anger.

"The young general obeys." Li Zhuo responded happily in the envious eyes of everyone, if he could capture Wuqiu alive, it would be a great achievement, it can be seen that the surprise that Zhao Yong said must be very valuable. Such a promotion was very unexpected for Li Zhuo.

"Your Majesty is sure that the other lord will abandon the city and flee?" Fei Yi was on the side, noticing Zhao Yong's arrangement, so he asked.

"It's not that I'm sure he's going to run away, it's that he's going to run away." Zhao Yong said, "I observed the geographical shape yesterday and found that from the south of Lingshou, Zhongshan can only rely on the Hutuo River to hold on to our army, if our army captures Shiyi, it can bypass the South Great Wall from the northwest and attack Lingshou directly." So if the house is lost, it is lost. If Shiyi is lost again, Zhongshan Kingdom will definitely not give up. Therefore, instead of defending the house, the opposing lord should return to Shiyi to garrison. There should be no mistake in this. What's more, he should also wonder why Shiyi's people haven't come to reinforcements yet. ”

"So, do you want our army to go north to Shiyi?" Li Zhuo was also bold at this time, and told everyone's thoughts.

"No fights. The food and grass supply of these 30,000 people all depended on Shancheng, and once the battle line was stretched and the back road was blocked by the Zhongshan army going south, the gains outweighed the losses. What's more, Shiyi must be a strong city, there is no absolute certainty, there is no need to attack, just let him go for the time being. Zhao Yong commanded calmly.

Everyone took a closer look, the truth is indeed the case, and the admiration for Zhao Yong in their hearts arose, you know, this is the first time that Zhao Yong personally led the troops to fight, and it is also very remarkable to be able to put forward such insightful opinions.

At the head of the house city, watching the Zhao army start to attack the city like water, and the soldiers on his side have been tortured and exhausted, Wuqiu knew that from the morning, when he saw the straw man on the Zhao army's position in the distance, he knew that the house city could no longer be defended. And this time, the enemy did not win his bravery, and he also lost to the cunning of the opponent.

"General, there is no need to defend this place, please leave quickly and go north to Shiyi." The deputy general is the old man beside Wu Qiu, and there is naturally no doubt about his loyalty.

"If I abandon the city at this moment and go to Shiyi, I am afraid that I will still die." Wuqiu shook his head, he was really tired, Zhao Jun's tired city tactics yesterday were very successful, and he regretted it.

"Not really. It no longer makes sense for the general to stick to the house. And Shiyi guards the key roads of our army, and must not fall into the hands of the enemy. When the general arrives in Shiyi, he must organize a defense to prevent the enemy from going north, so that he can atone for his sins and avenge today's revenge. The adjutant general said bitterly.

These truths, on weekdays, Wuqiu may not be clear, but he was sleepy all night, and he was a little discouraged, so his reaction was not as good as the deputy general. At this moment, I wanted to understand this section, so I didn't shirk anymore, and hurriedly walked down the city tower, packed up, and prepared to leave the house city.

Pang Cong frowned, looking at the soldiers of the Zhao army who were gradually ascending the city tower, knowing that in this battle, the victory was almost locked, if nothing else, before noon, the house city would be captured. He breathed a long sigh of relief, the pressure of being the main general is really very large, especially his special status now, I don't know how many people are staring at him, once he loses, he will definitely be defeated, and when the time comes, no matter how partial Zhao Yong is to himself, it is reasonable to give himself a major punishment under pressure. So, he was cautious and cautious, careful and careful, and finally he could easily meet.

"Report, General, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Say!"

"Just now, a group of Zhongshan cavalry rushed out from the south gate of the house city, causing casualties to our army, and it was to reinforce the north and south with the defenders of other roads. However, he did not want to run out of the north gate with another group of cavalry, which broke the offensive formation of our army and fled to the northwest. After the herald finished speaking, he looked at Pang Cong without saying a word, waiting for the storm.

"Well, I know, go down, and order our army to attack the city with all its might, and be sure to lay down the house at noon."

"Yes!" With doubts, the herald flew away, lest Pang Cong remember it and reprimand him again.

"Hmph, that's really cheap." Pang Cong thought to himself, "However, this is not bad, after all, it is not a good thing for me to conquer a city by myself." Just give a little credit and go out. It is a blessing to suffer a loss, and it is a blessing to suffer a loss. He muttered to himself, looking at the city tower that had been flooded by Zhao Jun, his expression was faint.
