Chapter 265: Siege (Medium)
The Han army went from slow to urgent, and the soldiers marched neatly, shouting and rushing towards Xiling City with the increasingly rapid sound of horns behind them.
Bu Qiu frowned, he didn't expect that the Han army would really attack Xiling City despite Cao Wei in the north.
Originally, Buqi was still thinking about a stalemate with the Han army, and when Lu Wang Sun Ba and Lu Xun came, they would negotiate with the Han army first.
"Could it be that Cao Wei has already compromised with the Han Kingdom?" Bu Qi frowned and groaned, and then hurriedly gave an order to the generals, "Be sure to guard Xiling City!" ”
The attack of the Han army under the city is crazy, these are the Baier army that followed Liu Chan through Nanzhong, and it is the most elite corps in the Han State today.
Xiling City is a dangerous place near the mountains and the sea, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times. Although there are not too many defenders of Xiling City now, they also calmly responded to the battle in the face of the menacing Han army, and for a while, the two armies were stalemate. Only shouts and the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the wind could be heard.
Liu Chan sat on his war horse, watching the two armies fighting in front of him, his heart was calm one by one, and black dots fell from the city like dumplings in the pot, although he knew that they were all fresh lives, but he was indifferent.
Liu Chan's eyes were deep, as if he had passed through the wall of the battle and saw Zhang Yingying in the city.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan's heart suddenly tightened, and then he ordered in a deep voice, "Be sure to take Xiling City!" ”
"Yes!" The herald waved the flag in his hand, and the sound of the horn resounded more rapidly on the battlefield.
At this time, the people in Xiling City were panicked, even in the inn, far away from the city gate, you could hear the sound of horns in the distance, every rapid horn seemed to affect the nerves of everyone in the inn, and even some people were trembling and collapsed to the ground.
There were many people in the hall of the inn, and there were drinks on the desk, but everyone listened to the sound of the horn outside with fear on their faces as if they didn't see it.
Xiaohuan pouted, like an angry child, walked to the inn hall, and said angrily: "Which of you has tea to sell?" My young lady's original price is recovered! ”
"Huh?" The originally quiet inn hall was now quieter, but everyone looked at the small ring with a crossed waist next to the staircase.
Finally, after a pause, as if someone had survived, he trembled and said, "Little girl, what did you just say?" Said you want to collect tea? Or is it the original price? ”
"Nonsense, what am I going to do if I don't collect tea!" Xiaohuan glanced at everyone angrily.
For a while, there were many people in the living room, and everyone seemed to be dreaming, and they all raised their heads to look at the little girl in front of them with a crossed face and a fierce face.
"Well, I'll say it again, my young lady said, if anyone has tea to sell, go to the second floor to find me to register, and my young lady will accept tea at the original price!" Xiaohuan then said angrily, and walked upstairs violently.
The reason why Xiaohuan was not angry was because Meng Shuang wanted to buy all their entanglements into tea, but this was Meng Shuang's order, although she was a little reluctant, she didn't dare to disobey it. It's just that in Xiaohuan's heart, he still feels that those gold and silver are more soft than bags of rough tea leaves.
Looking at the fierce Xiaohuan, the tea merchants in the inn seemed to be like a dream come true, and then looked at the Xiaohuan who was walking upstairs with a fierce attitude, in their eyes, it seemed to be more like a living Bodhisattva.
"Hey, don't go, little girl! I sell tea, I sell tea! I don't know who was the first to react, and hurriedly carried a hemp bag of tea from his room to the second floor, and he didn't feel the weight of a hundred pounds of hemp bags at all.
At this time, everyone reacted, and they dispersed in a hurry for a while, and ran to their rooms.
At this time, in Lu Xing's room, Lu Xing, who was sitting next to the desk, suddenly frowned.
"You two go see why it's so noisy outside! Could it be that the Han army has invaded the city? Lu Xing said and glanced at the two people next to him.
The two nodded, put their knives behind their waists, and walked briskly out the door.
"Hey! Let's go, let's go! I can't take it anymore. "A chubby businessman carrying a bag of marijuana up to the second floor, already sweating and panting.
"Hey! What are you doing! The two people who listened to Lu Xing's order to go out to check the situation outside bumped into the fat merchant in the narrow corridor as soon as they opened the door.
"Hey! And ask me what I'm doing, and I'd like to ask you two what you're going to do with your sneaks! ”
The fat merchant was obviously not good at stubble, threw the heavy hemp bag to the ground, wiped the sweat on his head, and gasped a little, "Didn't you see me selling tea?" It's easy for me to do a business in this chaos, I'm going to go, let's see, don't delay Lao Tzu to make money! ”
"What this eldest brother said is right, now that the army is in chaos, it is not easy to go out, and the two eldest brothers are also convenient." At this time, Meng Shuang walked out of the house with a smile.
"Huh?" When the fat businessman saw Meng Shuang, he made the old mistake again for a while, and stared at each other with squinting eyes, as if he saw the little baby in his own family.
Meng Shuang was indifferent, and then said with a smile: "This eldest brother is also here to sell tea, right?" Hurry inside please. ”
With a big brother, the fat businessman who called him was crispy to the bones, he picked up the sack with a big grin, and said loudly: "Yes, big sister, seeing that the eldest brother's tea is going to be ruined, fortunately I met a kind-hearted living Bodhisattva." ”
Meng Shuang narrowed her eyes and didn't speak, but just turned her head and shouted into the room: "Meng Chong, you come to help this eldest brother carry the tea over and weigh it." ”
"Yes Miss." At this time, the burly Meng Chong ran out, and his silent personality under the cloth clothes made him a little more honest.
Only then did the fat businessman realize that the young and beautiful woman in front of him with an extraordinary temperament was the living bodhisattva in his mouth, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
"Big brother, the tea money will be given to you after the meeting, you go into the house and wait for a while." Meng Shuang smiled, and then walked into the house.
The fat merchant was stunned, looked at Meng Shuang who entered the house, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, then glanced at the two people next to him, and walked into the house with square steps.
The two people sent by Lu Xing looked at each other for a moment, and then hurriedly ran into the room.
"What? Collecting tea? Lu Xing's brows furrowed more and more.
"Big brother, should we kill them!" The person next to him whispered coldly.
"Idiot!" Lu Xing glared at the other party fiercely.
Originally, Lu Xing wanted to find a quiet place, wait for the city to open here, and then take Zhang Yingying to Wei State. If Zhang Yingying was brought to the Wei State, he could think of the reward that the lord had given him.
But now Xiling City is forbidden, and then the Han army came, which he did not expect.
I wanted to find a quiet place and think about countermeasures, but now the city is now busy in front of my door, as if all my actions are in the eyes of others, which makes Lu Xing even more unexpected, and angry.
But Lu Xing is not a fool, the more he has to be low-key.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xing said softly: "Now let's not act rashly, take care of the one in the house, everyone is not allowed to go out without my order!" ”
"Yes!" The two listened to the order and nodded silently.
Meng Shuang was collecting tea, and Lu Xing was silent. And the Han army and the Wu army in Xiling City are fighting endlessly.
Indeed, the soldiers' eyes were already red, and they listened to the sharp horns mechanically, fearlessly rushing towards the city wall, and then ushered in a dense array of bows and arrows like mustard.
On Xiling City, Buqi was silent for a while, and occasionally arrows flew towards the city, taking the lives of one or two soldiers, and then someone quickly made up for it.
Bu Qi was no longer interested in any of these now, he stared at it, but his thoughts flew to King Lu Sun Ba.
He relied on Sun Ba to make his fortune, and he can be said to be Sun Ba's closest person, and he also thinks that Sun Ba will be the emperor, so that he can rise to the top.
"Maybe it's an opportunity," Bu Qiu muttered to himself. The setting sun gradually made his figure longer and longer.
At this time, in the rear army of the Han army, Chen Zhi didn't know when he was already standing in front of Liu Chan.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to withdraw the troops, the more stalemate, the more you can see the capabilities of the two armies, and sometimes, success or failure may be at this moment." Chen Zhi whispered advice to Liu Chan, but his big hand holding the sword was already sweating.
These are all soldiers he trained, it can be said that each of them is his own hard work, watching a row of arrows fly down, fall, and still charge, Chen Zhi gradually closed his eyes.
