Tigers and leopards in the same cage

At the same time that Touman was raided by Meng Tian, the Youxian Wang's department, which had arrived in advance from the Northern Plains, was already quietly lurking under the city, just waiting for the time to come.

The captain on the castle tower yawned and beat the war drum drum, and the soldier in charge of the night guard hurriedly began to walk towards the barracks with a tired look.

As everyone knows, all this was put into the courtyard by a pair of grim eyes under the city, the black shadow made a gesture behind him, only to see hundreds of Roman soldiers in white armor holding ropes quietly close to the city wall, with the sound of metal as thin as mosquitoes, after confirming that the rope had grasped the city wall, the soldiers began to climb up, and the right sage king and Creon behind him showed a relaxed smile.

"Brother Creon, your brothers are really agile, it seems that we can easily attack Beiyuan City this time." Seeing that the Roman soldiers were about to climb the tower step by step, the right virtuous king seemed to have seen the scene of the Hun army leveling the enemy. Big order is true, don't use such a good soldier, it's a waste and watch out all day long, or is this king a step ahead, hehe, what will I reward when I go back this time?

Just when the right virtuous king was full of fantasies, Creon, who had been paying close attention, whistled and wanted to remind his soldiers, but after all, he was still a step too slow, and only heard a Qin soldier in a costume that he had never seen before shot a feather arrow that would determine their life and death at the Roman soldiers who were trying to climb, accompanied by a scream, all the Roman soldiers on the mission were killed, and the low Creon stared at a general in the center with his eyes on fire, "I must kill you to avenge my brothers!" ”

"Do the stupid Huns think that our Qin State is a place where you can come and go whenever you want?"

"What?" At this time, the Right Virtuous King found out that his concealment had been discovered by the Qin army, and he and the others were still within the range of the Qin army's bow and crossbow, "Everyone retreat quickly..."The words were not finished, tens of thousands of arrows were overwhelmingly carrying out this indiscriminate attack, and the unsuspecting Hun army was caught off guard and suffered countless casualties, but fortunately, Creon reacted quickly, pulling the Right Virtuous King to run quickly to the rear, unfortunately, a feather arrow was still fiercely inserted into the shoulder of the Right Virtuous King.

After escaping beyond the range of the feather arrows, King Youxian angrily pulled out the feather arrows on his shoulders, bringing a stream of blood spurting out, but his face was not painful at all, and the horse whip pointed at the "name of the general in the city." ”

"Hahaha, just a barbarian deserves to know the name of this general, but for the sake of you being a man, I will tell you that this general is Wang Li, the general of the Qin State."

King Youxian was terrified, "The grandson of the military god Wang Qian, I remember today's hatred!" After that, he turned the horse's head and unwillingly whipped away.

On the northern side, Meng Tian led the golden fire cavalry to take advantage of the chaos of the Hun army, and returned to the city with a needle, and as soon as he entered the city, he saw several lieutenants who had proposed to defend to the death with their heads down and blocked Meng Tian's way.

Meng Tian naturally knew the intention of the officialdom for a long time, and jumped off the horse without pretentiousness, and patted the shoulders of several lieutenant generals cordially, "In today's battle, there are a few who are in the rear sweeping formation, and the generals can fight calmly, thank you!" ”

Several lieutenants knelt down on one knee with red faces: "If Brother Meng does not give up, the younger brothers are willing to follow the eldest brother to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, and never look back!" ”

Meng Tian hurriedly helped up a few lieutenant generals, "We are all soldiers of the empire, and we are all loyal to His Majesty the First Emperor, regardless of each other!" "Meng Tian knows that there are many factions within the empire, and this time in the army of the Northern Imperial Huns, in addition to the army of his own Meng family, there are also many forces of the right prime minister Feng Quji, although they all obey their own orders, but after all, their hearts are not aligned, and it is inevitable that their strength will be insufficient.

"General?" The old man hurried to the city and saw such a scene, and suddenly realized in his heart that Meng Tian was to stabilize the morale of the army, and he really deserved to be the most valued general by the Lord!

Meng Tian waved his hand and interrupted the old man's words: "Today's defeat of the Huns should be celebrated, and there will be anything to talk about later." ”

Chen Ping pretended to be an old man who had no choice but to return to the camp tent in a daze, looking at the northwest in a daze, after a long time, Meng Tian strode into the account, and respectfully saluted, "Senior, I..."

"I understand, the general doesn't have to blame himself, today I observed from the city, Touman is extremely timid, if you use the previous feint strategy, it may be difficult to work, today's general's surprise attack has disgraced him, in order not to make the leaders of the various tribes lose confidence in it, presumably the future battle Touman will spare no effort to attack, so that we have the opportunity to lure the enemy deeper."

Meng Tian admired the old man of the Meng family in his heart, and before he could speak, he had straightened out everything, which was really a rare talent, so he had the idea of recommending the old man to Ying Zheng in his heart, "The old man is quick to think, Meng Tian admires, with your wisdom, the seat staff in Meng Tian's army is really condescending, I want to recommend you to His Majesty the First Emperor, and you can also do more things for the empire." ”

The old man suddenly burst into tears, making Meng Tian at a loss, "Senior, what are you?" ”

The old man choked up and said, "General, I'm old, although I'm a little smart, but the court doesn't allow the slightest mistake, I'm afraid I can't afford it, old man!" ”

Meng Tian suddenly realized, and hurriedly confessed, "The old-timers forgive the sin, Tian was confused for a while." ”

"The general is dedicated to the country, how can the old man blame, hey, if I am twenty years younger, the court may say that there is a place for me, but unfortunately now I am also declining, time is short, I just hope to help the general repel the Huns, but I just wish!"

Meng Tian didn't say much, untied the wine jar he brought and poured it for the old man, "Seniors, Meng Tian will live up to expectations." ”

The old man took a small sip and looked surprised: "General, this??" ”

"You can't drink alcohol in the barracks, so replace wine with water, don't blame the old-timers!"

The old man drank the water in the bowl with a clatter. "It's okay, the general is strict in governing the army, and the old man is pleased."

"General Qiyu, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements?" Meng Tian was suspicious, he didn't ask the court for help, how could there be reinforcements? "Who's in command?"

"General Wang Li."

"He's it?" Meng Tian couldn't figure it out, the entire Qin State knew that he and Wang Li had always been incompatible, especially after he was highly used, Wang Li was even more jealous of himself, how could he take the initiative to come to support this time, would there be something strange in it?

"General, if you come, you will be safe!" The old man's casual words calmed Meng Tian's active mind, yes, his nerves were too hypersensitive, no matter what, Wang Li was a general of the empire, so what could he do?

"Order, set up a banquet for the general." Meng Tian didn't say anything when he heard a strange yin and yang voice coming: "No need, General Meng, General Ben is not so pretentious." ”

"General." Although Meng Tian has a heavy army, he is only an internal history in his position, and he is far from being as high as Wang Li's general, so he saluted Wang Li.

Wang Li didn't shake Meng Tian, sat next to the old man, picked up the wine jar and drank it all, "General Meng, you owe me a great favor this time, remember to pay it back!" ”

Gift? Meng Tian looked at the colonel in confusion, and the latter hurriedly said, "According to the Tanmalai report, this morning the Xiongnu Youxian Wang led his troops to attack the Northern Plains, but fortunately, General Wang Li arrived in time to repel the enemy, otherwise our army would have fallen into a situation of being attacked from both sides. ”

"Hear me, how are you going to thank me?" Wang Li looked like a ruffian and waited for Meng Tian with great interest, where is there still half a general's style, which shocked the old man who was ignored next to him, this is Wang Li who can compete with Meng Tian in the court? It's too...

"What do you want, as long as I give it to you"

"Haha, that's right, then I'm welcome." Wang Li's momentum of a lion's mouth opening wide couldn't help but make Meng Tian's head break out in a cold sweat.

"General, slow!" The old man played by Chen Ping doesn't want Meng Tian to be controlled by others, especially such a son-in-law!

"Who are you, I talk to General Meng, and you have the right to speak? General Meng, are you Meng Jiajun so rude? ”

Meng Tian naturally understood that the old man's intervention was for himself, but he didn't want Wang Li to bite the bullet, "General, the old-timers are straightforward, and I hope to tolerate the rudeness." ”

Wang Li waved his hand impatiently, "Well, I'll listen to what your dying old man has to say." ”

Chen Ping didn't even bother to do the etiquette and get straight to the topic: "As an imperial general, General Wang is the duty of fighting the Xiongnu for the country, could it be that the king in General Wang's heart is General Meng Tian?" This is a felony of extermination! ”

Definitely, Wang Li, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Meng Tian, was detained for a felony of disobedience to the king, but Wang Li was half killed in anger, "Old man, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Meng Tian's eyes lit up, he was upset just now and didn't think about it seriously, but now when he heard this, his heart suddenly understood, "General, it is your duty to guard the territory for the generals, and there is nothing wrong with the old-timers." Meng Tian and Chen Ping sang and harmonized, and Wang Liqi trembled, and walked out of the camp in a gloomy manner.
