The guard's words caused an uproar among the surrounding soldiers, and everyone looked at each other and whispered.

Yuan Chen personally led an army of 20,000 on his side, and the three sieges were blocked, but Sun Siping's side only had 10,000 soldiers and horses, threatening to break the city, which really shocked everyone.

Yuan Chen rode on his horse and looked down at the guards, with a disdainful expression "Joke!" If your General Sun really has this ability, why do you need to find this general to have 3,000 elite soldiers? ”

"There are at least tens of thousands of troops in Xinyang City, and he Sun Siping threatened that 13,000 men and horses can break the city? Could it be that the soldiers under his command are not successful? ”

The guard immediately replied, "The general has also told his subordinates that it is only necessary to send 10,000 horses to guard the east gate and the north gate." In Xinyang City, there are rat traps, and they will never dare to mobilize troops and horses for reinforcements at will! ”

Yuan Chen was furious when he heard this, "Just by his Sun Siping's words, this general is going to make a bet on 100,000 soldiers of my Chen State?" ”

"You go back and tell Sun Siping quickly, if he wants General Ben to listen to what he says, as long as he makes a military order, General Ben can send reinforcements to him!"

"This..."

The guards were half-kneeling on the ground, and they shouldn't be good.

"What are you doing here? Aren't General Ben's words clear enough? Get lost! ”

Seeing that the situation was like this, the guards had to turn back and ......

After another tea time, the guards rushed back to the south gate from the west gate and told Sun Siping the situation without reservation.

After listening to the report, Sun Siping was not in a hurry or angry, sighed, and closed his eyes in despair.

"General... Checkmate! ”

The guard shouted in a whisper.

Sun Siping didn't open his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Withdraw the army, go back to the camp..."

"General! You're disobeying military orders, General..."

Without waiting for the guards to finish speaking, Sun Siping opened his eyes, his face was bitter, and said, "If there are no reinforcements from the general's side, it is almost impossible for us to break through the south gate, so why bother to let the brothers lose their lives in vain." ”

"Even if you can't capture the city, you can't retreat without permission! If this has to be dealt with according to the military order, general, you... You're..."

"General Ben will surely die!"

Sun Siping said the words that were difficult to put into his mouth for the guards, but in a blink of an eye, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "Even if you don't withdraw the army now, General Ben's head can't be saved~"

"Why did the general say that?"

Sun Sipingyao pointed to Chen Jun, who was shooting at the Qin army in the distance, and said, "With so many arrows, how can it be the standard for 6,000 archers!" General Ben took half of the arrows in the rear battalion! Going back and being found out by Yuan Chen is also a dead end! ”

Chen Guo is in a difficult situation at the moment, not only is he separated from Wu Yue, but he will also be coveted by the Han State of Fujian, if he can't destroy the Qin State in a short period of time, in order to revive the country's prestige. Even if he teamed up with Wu Yue to survive this catastrophe, he would have nowhere to go in the future, and could only be eaten by Fujian, Han, and Wu Yue.

Even though Sun Siping tried his best, he was repeatedly blocked. First, Yuan Chen was afraid of Sun Siping's ability to lead the troops, so he only allocated him 10,000 horses, and then found that the morale of the Qin soldiers had greatly increased, and it was difficult to capture it for a while, and finally asked for reinforcements but Yuan Chen refused.

A series of reasons came together, which led to Sun Siping's gamble, which ended in failure.

The guard looked at Sun Siping's face with a trace of irrepressible grief and indignation on his face, and suddenly grieved in his heart, and said, "Why don't you change armor with your subordinates and leave for the time being, waiting for the next day!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Siping immediately shook his head, and refused righteously, "How can I sacrifice you for my own life!" How can I owe you a few lives over the years? ”

"General! Chen Guo can have no subordinates, but he can't do without generals! At present, Chen Guo is in such a situation, and the general still has to take care of his own life in vain, what future does Chen Guo have! ”

The guards cried out in grief, but Sun Siping still refused.

"Chen Guo is hopeless for the monarch and minister, even if it is me, there is nothing I can do. If you die before the fall of the country, you can be regarded as a decent Chen Guoren instead of a slave who died in the country! ”

Seeing that dissuasion was useless, the guards nodded with a few of Sun Siping's fellow guards around him, and suddenly stepped forward!

"General! The subordinates are offended! ”

As soon as the voice came out, Sun Siping felt a strong wind blowing in the back of his head, and then he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.

The guard nodded at the man and said to the six guards around him, "Brothers, take good care of the general. Chen Guo... Just count on him! ”

......

This battle was not until after dusk, when Yuan Chen felt that there was no hope of breaking the city, so he withdrew his troops.

Yuan Chen returned to the camp angrily, and after tearing down a solid wooden table with three fists and two feet, the general behind him followed up.

"The general is angry, the siege of the city is not an overnight thing! Don't hurt yourself! ”

"Yes, this time the Qin army is prepared, Xinyang City is three feet high, and it is common for it to be unable to attack it for a while!"

"The strange thing is that most of the Qin army has never fought a war, and even if there are old people in the army who have fought in the army, they are also old soldiers left over from the war with our country many years ago. My Chen State has been attacking one after another for two consecutive days, and it is really strange that Qin State can withstand the pressure. ”

The general's doubts were also what Yuan Chen was puzzled about.

It stands to reason that the Qin State experienced yesterday's bloody battle, and the morale of the army was low, how did he know that when he fought today, Yuan Chen found that the soldiers of the Qin State were very different from yesterday, everyone was brave and cooperative, and the soldiers of the Chen State who were five times as strong as them were suppressed to death should not be the performance of the soldiers in the first battle at all.

When Yuan Chen was puzzled, he was about to ask Sun Siping, but only to find that Sun Siping was not in the account at the moment.

"What about Sun Siping and others!"

Yuan Chen was already extremely angry at this moment, and directly called Sun Siping's name.

"Subordinate General Sun guards, ask to see the general!"

A shout suddenly sounded outside the account, Yuan Chen was slightly stunned, and then asked the guards outside the account to let him in.

As soon as the guards entered the account, everyone was shocked, and a pair of eyes converged on the guards. There is no other reason, the armor worn by the guard is Sun Siping's armor!

Before Yuan Chen could ask, the guards knelt in front of Yuan Chen and said, "My subordinates ask for guilt!" ”

"What's the crime?"

"General Sun was accidentally pierced through the heart by an arrow in the chaotic army, and his subordinates were guards, and it was a crime to guard unfavorably!"

"When General Sun died, Chen Qin was still fighting to the death, and before he could disturb the morale of the army, his subordinates put on General Sun's armor and sat in the Chinese army. This is the sin of deception! ”

As soon as the guard's words were spoken, the generals and generals in the account were all shocked, and most of them showed grief and regret on their faces.

But only Yuan Chen smiled and helped him up, and said with relief, "In order to stabilize the morale of the army, you have done nothing wrong." It is enough to resist the disadvantage of your guards. ”

"Thank you, General!"

The guards looked at the undisguised smile on Yuan Chen's face, and their hearts were suddenly indignant. secretly felt worthless for Sun Siping, and actually did his best to do things for him under the hands of such a person.

Among the generals, one of the generals looked sad and asked, "Where is General Sun's body?" He and I are fellow countrymen, and I can't bring back the body at this time, so it's good to bring General Sun's ashes back to my fellow countrymen. ”

Hearing this, the guard replied with grief on his face, "The subordinates have burned General Sun's bones, and the ashes are in General Sun's account." ”

At this time, there was a sudden scream outside the account, and a fat man in a luxurious brocade robe shouted that it was not good, and broke into the account directly.

"This is the military tent, what are you doing here as a rear camp manager?"

Yuan Chen seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with this rear camp manager in his tone, he just asked.

"Army... Arsenal, arrows in the ... More than half of the arrows are missing! ”

The head of the rear camp stammered, constantly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"What do you say? You talk about it again! ”

Yuan Chenhu's body trembled, he lowered his head and glared at the head of the rear camp who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted angrily.

The head of the rear camp looked at Yuan Chen's murderous eyes, his face trembled, and he hurriedly explained, "The subordinates are in... Inventory Library... When it is in stock, it is taken from the back... Stunned in the back, wake up... When I woke up... It's gone! ”

"Who is so bold as to steal the arsenal! More than half of the arrows, at least twenty carts! General Ben wants to see where the thief can hide it! ”

"Check it out! Dig three feet into the ground in the barracks, and find out who stole the arrows! ”

Yuan Chen roared angrily at the generals, and all the generals made a promise, and each began to investigate the situation of the army under his jurisdiction......

And so, three hours had passed, and when the generals returned to their accounts, it was late at night.

"How's that!"

Yuan Chen's eyes were red, and he asked in a low voice.

All the generals shook their heads, indicating that they had not found the whereabouts of the arrows, which caused Yuan Chen to be furious.

"A bunch of trash! Without these arrows, you can't help me attack the city? ”

All the generals bowed their heads, and they were counted down by Yuan Chen, but they didn't dare to answer.

At this time, a military general of Yuan Chen's faction walked in from outside the tent and said to Yuan Chen, "General Qiqi, although the last general is to find the arrow. However, when General Sun's account attacked the city today, he and the Qin army had been shooting under the city wall for nearly an hour, and when he came back, there were still many arrows in the quiver of each of the six thousand archers! ”

(A wave of 3,000 people, it takes a lot of time to rotate from the new deployment, and the actual archery time is far from an hour)

"Is this true?" Yuan Chen asked.

"There are still more than 8,000 people under General Sun's account back, the general might as well ask!"

Seeing that this general is so determined, the results speak for themselves.

Yuan Chen kicked over the brazier next to him and scolded angrily, "Bastard! This Sun Siping actually dared to steal things from the arsenal! The Nine Clans should really be punished! ”

"Someone! Go and bring me the ash jar in Sun Siping's tent! Yuan Chen shouted viciously.

Hearing this, all the generals were discouraged.

"General! There are still doubts about this matter, General Sun is deceased, there is no proof of death in this matter, and the deceased must not be implicated! ”

"Yes! General! At present, our army is focusing on capturing Xinyang City, and we must not hurt the dead and turbulent the hearts of the army! ”

......

Yuan Chen saw that everyone continued to dissuade him, and he felt that his prestige in the army was not as good as that of a dead man, and he was even more indignant in his heart, and said with a cruel smile: "Okay! Good! You said don't implicate the dead, right, you say that the military affairs are the most important at the moment. Yes! When our army returns to the DPRK, I will definitely take the heads of his Sun Siping's entire family to pay tribute to the heroic souls of our army who died in battle! ”

With that, Yuan Chen walked out of the big tent angrily and returned to his tent.

Everyone looked at each other, shook their heads and sighed, and left the big tent......
