Seeing the Huns retreating, the tense nerves of the soldiers on the city wall also relaxed, sat on the ground, and watched the logistics staff clean up the battlefield. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a short encounter, their strength had been exhausted, and it was still early in the morning, the Huns would definitely carry out a second attack, and everyone hurried to rest and recover their strength.

Just when Zhang Zai was leaning against the city wall and closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, a soldier came with a small official wearing a county government uniform, saying that he had something to report.

Zhang Zai looked at the little official in front of him, and had some impressions, it seemed to be the little official in the assassin's mansion, so he asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

The little official obviously had also seen Zhang Zai, and replied respectfully: "General Zhang, just now there was a strong man at the gate of the palace who asked to see the general, and the villain led him here, and asked the general to decide." ”

"Can you ask this person's name?"

"He called himself Xue Li."

"What!" Hearing Xue Rengui's name, Zhang Zaimeng stood up and said excitedly: "Did you hear it right? ”

The little official didn't know why Zhang Zai had such a big reaction when he heard this name, but he still replied affirmatively: "I heard you right." ”

Zhang Zai thumped down the city wall hard: "Great, please...... Forget it, I'd better go see him and lead the way. ”

Seeing Zhang Zai's excited expression, the little official naturally didn't dare to delay, and took Zhang Zai down the city wall.

As soon as he got off the city wall, Zhang Zai's eyes scanned the surroundings, and he didn't find any other people, all around were busy soldiers, and suddenly, his eyes stopped on a middle-aged man wearing a white robe and carrying a strong bow on his shoulder.

He was dressed completely differently from the soldiers, and stood out in the crowd, helping the soldiers passing by from time to time to carry boulders and rolling logs.

The little official walked over quickly and said to the man in white, "General Zhang is here." ”

Zhang Zai strode over, and before he could speak, Xue Rengui bowed deeply and said, "In Xiahedong Xue Li, the word Rengui, I have seen the general." ”

"I don't know what Brother Xue is looking for?" Zhang Zai asked knowingly.

Xue Rengui replied: "The general saved his father's life a few years ago, and his father has been mourned, and he has repaid his kindness. ”

After speaking, Xue Rengui bowed solemnly: "Meet the lord." ”

Zhang Zai thought to himself: "This must be memory implantation, which is really a wonderful thing." ”

At the same time, the movements in his hands were not slow, and he hurriedly helped Xue Rengui up, and said, "Brother Xue doesn't have to be polite......

Before Zhang Zai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xue Rengui: "The lord can call the word of the ceremony." ”

Zhang Zai saw that he was resolute, so he said: "Jinyang City is not in danger, Rengui still comes at the risk of death, loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, please accept Zai and the soldiers and people of the whole city to worship!" After speaking, Zhang Zai bent down and bowed.

Xue Rengui accepted Zhang Zai's half-bow, dodged away, and said: "The lord and the Lord Assassin Shi are hanging upside down, which is the work of the eldest husband, and the ceremony should not be worshipped." ”

"Woo ......"

"Follow me!" A horn interrupted the conversation between the two of them, and Zhang Zai hurriedly took Xue Rengui to the city wall.

It turned out that the Xiongnu saw that the fire under the city was getting smaller, and began to assemble in front of the city, preparing to attack the city.

Zhang Zai said to Xue Rengui: "I don't know how the general's martial arts are? ”

Xue Rengui looked at the enemy who was arrayed outside the city gate, and said arrogantly: "If you give me 800 iron horses, I can kill him seven in and seven out." ”

As if infected by Xue Rengui's arrogance, Zhang Zai shouted: "What a spirit! ”

Zhang Zai saw that he was only carrying a bow and arrows and had no weapons, so he asked again: "I don't know if Rengui has a weapon?" ”

Xue Rengui's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "My family is poor and has never prepared weapons. ”

"What kind of weapon does Rengui use?"

Xue Rengui then thought for a while and said, "Swords and guns are all available, and halberds are the best." ”

Zhang Zai nodded, Xue Rengui was also a master of using halberds in history, and looked at Xue Rengui dressed in cloth, and said to the guards beside him: "Take an iron gun, and then that good armor." ”

One of the guards took the order.

The short sound of the horn sounded like a drumbeat, and it was the sound of an attack.

Flags were displayed on the city wall, as if the unyielding will of Jinyang City, and the soldiers looked at the enemy under the city with a look of death.

Just when the enemy was still 500 meters away from the city wall, Xue Rengui took off the strong bow behind his back, asked the archers next to him for a bag of arrows, stretched out his bow and set up arrows, aimed at the officers on horseback in the Xiongnu camp, and shot an arrow.

The Hun officer was defenseless, and the arrow went straight into his neck, and he fell from his horse, causing a commotion.

"Whoosh ......"

Xue Rengui made three arrows in a row, and three Hun officers fell directly off the horse, and the remaining officers were afraid of Xue Rengui's magic arrows, so they didn't dare to advance easily, and the soldiers under his command were not advancing.

Xue Rengui visually measured the distance of the Xiongnu Shuai Banner and pulled the bow full.

"Whoosh!"

This arrow, faster and more stable than the previous three, flew out over the heads of the Xiongnu siege troops.

Before the general in charge of the siege force could raise his morale, he heard a commotion in his own army behind, and when he looked back, it turned out that the handsome flag was broken by an arrow.

The soldiers on the city wall were also stunned by Xue Rengui's amazing archery skills, and then burst into strong cheers.

Morale is an ethereal thing, but it really exists, and it can even make or break a battle.

When the Xiongnu generals saw that their commander's banner had fallen, their morale was suddenly lost, and they immediately ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

A bloody battle was eliminated under Xue Rengui's divine arrow, and his title of arrow god also spread in the army.

At this time, the soldiers had already sent the iron spear and armor and handed them to Xue Rengui, looking at the weapons and equipment in front of him, Zhang Zai couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't need these for the time being." Then he said with a straight face: "Order, let the other three guards come to the mansion to see me." ”

Assassin in the house.

The guards of the other three gates heard that there was an arrow god in the army, and after receiving Zhang Zai's order, they also put down their defenses, handed them over to the deputy general, and came to the Assassin's Mansion.

In front of the hall, after worshipping Zhang Yi, Zhang Zai led Xue Rengui and several guards to the side hall and said: "Everyone, this is Xue Li Xue Rengui, the arrow god who retreated from the Huns with three arrows today. Then he introduced the guards of the four gates to Xue Rengui one by one.

"This is Zhao Junhou, the guard of the West Gate."

"Sun Junhou, the guard of the South Gate."

"The North Gate Guard, Wang Junhou."

"Zhang Junhou, the guard of the East Gate."

Xue Rengui greeted them one by one.

After they got to know each other, Zhang Zaicai said: "Now that the Xiongnu have besieged the city for a long time, and the city has suffered heavy losses, the Huns may not withdraw their troops easily, and today's attack was frustrated and morale was low, so a certain decided to attack the camp tonight, burned their grain and grass, and forced them to withdraw their troops." ”

"General, that's a good idea, but it's hard for us to be the commander in chief with our force." The East Gate Keeper said.

The other three guards also chimed in.

The original officers died one after another in a few days, they were all temporarily promoted officers, they had no experience in leading troops, and it was okay to defend the city, but if the field attacked the camp, it would be difficult.

Zhang Zai also knows their skills, but in order to improve Xue Rengui's prestige and status in the army, he still has to do some face engineering.

"Since you all don't want to go, how about leaving it to Xue Rengui at this time?" Zhang Zai smiled at the proposal.

After hearing this, several people looked at each other and said, "I am willing to listen to the general's order." ”

"Okay." Zhang Zai stood up and said, "Xue Li listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"Order you to be the captain, command 600 cavalry, attack the Hun tent tonight, and burn the grain and grass."

"Whoa."
