On March 19 of the second year of Shengyuan, a light rain in late spring fell in Peixian County, bringing a bone-chilling coolness to the warm spring day. It wasn't until yesterday that the light rain stopped, but the thick black clouds in the sky were still there, and the sun was tightly covered at a glance, as if the sky was about to fall, and people couldn't breathe.

On this already extremely depressing day, the Church of Our Lady was overwhelmed by a large army, adding a bit of haze to the sky of Peixian.

Xiaopei Jipei County, as the place where Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, grew up since childhood. Although it is not large, it relies on the support of the Han emperors in successive dynasties, and its location is a strategic location, so the city is very firmly built. This is the only good news for the ban so far.

Look at the armor that glows with silver light in the sky outside the city, and the large village that stretches for more than ten miles of the church. Yu Ban couldn't help but be puzzled, so he asked Chen Deng, "Strategist, Luan Yi's army has arrived in Pei County for five days, why is it unwilling to attack the city?" ”

"Luan Yi knows that our army has little food, so he doesn't take the initiative to attack the city! He wants to rely on my army to run out of food! "As soon as he mentioned grain and grass, Chen Gong was stunned. He didn't expect Luan Yi to be so cunning, defrauding nearly seventy percent of Xuzhou's grain and grass, and also taking out half of the grain from the official warehouse. As a result, there is no food to fight now, and there is nowhere to buy it if you want to.

"Wouldn't that sit still?" Yu Ban said abruptly: "There is a dead end in defending the city, is it good for a certain family to lead troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle?" ”

"No! Pei County only has 15,000 guards, which is not Luan Ziqi's opponent. This matter needs to be considered in the long run! ”

"Think long-term? How much food and grass is left in the army? Yu Ban asked.

"It's only enough for half a month!" Chen Deng involuntarily lowered his head as he spoke.

Yu Ban saw that Chen Deng's heart was weak, "It's really enough for half a month?" ”

"It's really enough for half a month!" Chen Deng's tone was much firmer this time, "But everyone can only eat liquid food every day!" ”

"This ......" Yu Ban paced back and forth at the head of the city with his sword, "Where do the soldiers who eat liquid food still have the strength to compete with Luan Ziqi's army?" ”

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, for the time being, it's only like this!" Chen Deng's face was anxious, "Don't worry, the lord has now asked my father to go to Cao Mengde to ask for food again." This time I explained the stakes to him, and I believe that Cao Mengde will have to send grain and grass to rescue even if he is squeezed! ”

"Hey!" Yu Ban stomped the ground loudly, "This battle is fought!" I fell behind before the war started, I was really aggrieved! ”

Now Yu Ban has truly realized the true meaning of Sun Tzu's "go to the army to attack and plan, then to fight the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city". Luan Yi, Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others were far away in Jinan, living in a temple, with a plate of banners under the lupine towel cloth, and killed Liu Bei by surprise with an economic war without gunpowder smoke thousands of miles away, and beat Xuzhou with a thousand holes.

At midnight, the light on the gloomy earth dimmed, and after the rain, the moist tide returned to the warm current, and evaporated under the instigation of the heat, forming a thick tidal fog.

Outside the city, bonfires in the church army were extinguished after nightfall. However, this does not mean that the battalion sergeants have fallen asleep, on the contrary, the quiet village is full of people and hurrying.

They are making final preparations for the upcoming siege.

A team of 200 people in armor was arrayed in front of the Great Tent. These people are all about eight feet tall, with large shoulders and round waists, and they can be described as majestic. The hangers they wore were completely different from those of the other guards of the Church, not the Mingguang Heavy Armor, but the dark black chain mail newly developed by the Armory Bureau.

This chain mail has obvious characteristics, and its weight is much lighter than that of the Mingguang armor, thanks to the interlocking metal buckles of its armor, which makes the armor wearer move more freely. It's a pity that the chain mail production process is too complicated, and each piece of armor needs to be stabbed by an unknown craftsman at the same time, and it takes seven days to make it, and the price is also outrageously high. This made it impossible for chain mail to be widely distributed in the army of the church and to be assembled en masse.

The soldiers in front of him are all equipped with chain mail, which shows the extraordinary identity of their identity.

In addition, each of the 200 armorers was equipped with a divine sword. This magic knife is newly made by Pu Yuan, using coal to make steel, although the sword can not be compared with the steel blade, but also has some carbon steel meaning, comparable to a hundred refining knife, a knife can split the bamboo full of iron beads, extremely sharp.

Behind the armor, there is also a delicate small crossbow and a number of special crossbow arrows.

At this time, Luan Yi, who was wearing armor, was standing in front of 200 armor soldiers. He glanced around at the majestic figure of the 200 armor soldiers, and secretly praised for a while. He also focused his gaze on the leader of the armor. Hercules wore oversized chain mail and carried a double axe, and he was full of fighting spirit. Wang Yue wrapped himself in darkness, and because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. However, it can be seen from the gesture of rubbing the hilt of his sword that he is full of anticipation for this secret battle.

"Brothers!" Luan Yilang said, "It stands to reason that the day you arrive in Pei County should be the day you show your skills. But the weather is not beautiful, the rain does not stop, and the ground is slippery. I'm canceling the action and asking you to wait a few days! He paused, and then said: "Just as the rain will stop one day, you have practiced for a long time and endured all the hardships, and now it is time to show your achievements and make contributions." ”

"I will live up to the high expectations of the sect leader!"

"Excellent! Come on, serve wine! ”

Rows of guards served bowls of fairy brew to 200 soldiers.

Luan Yi held a bowl in his own hands, "I wish you all brothers success and capture them alive!" I'm outside the city waiting for news of your victory! "Dry ......" drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp and threw the bowl on the ground.

200 armor soldiers drank at the same time, and the sound of "popping ......" breaking bowls was non-stop.

"Pray with me!" Following Luan Yi's order, all those present closed their eyes and crossed their hands in front of their chests.

"My Mother in Heaven! You said: Sunshine needs a hard battle against the darkness before it can be sown on the earth, warm people's skin, and illuminate people's hearts. We did what you said (line: Our Lady's terminology, equivalent to doing), brought the light into Xuzhou, and wanted to fight the darkness to the death. Today, your loyal warriors stand here, and they will overcome all obstacles and send your holy light to the threshold of Xuzhou. Bless them, and give them strength with your mighty hand, and help them to climb the walls as they walk on the ground, and kill their enemies as pigs and sheep. Your pious people, Luan Yi, pray here to the merciful God, the Most Holy Lord. Yes...... Heaven's Gate! ”

"Ah...... Heaven's Gate! ”

After praying, Luan Yi walked up to Hercules and Wang Yue and straightened their clothes, "Two, take care!" ”

"Don't worry, master, our brothers from the special combat team promise to capture the guards before the fourth watch!" Hercules spoke in a sullen voice. Wang Yue didn't mean to speak, but just gave Luan Yi a stable look.

"Good! Let's go! Hercules waved his hand and gave the order with a mixed cavity of Jinan and the Western Regions.

200 special combat personnel quietly sneaked out of Dazhai and ran at high speed to the northwest corner of Pei County.

Thirty paces away from the city wall, Hercules raised his right fist, and the special operators stopped at the same time. He took out the binoculars from his arms, looked in the direction of Chengguan for a while, and whispered to Wang Yue: "Cover it with a black cloth and pass it on!" ”

Wang Yue relayed to the people behind him: "Cover yourself with a black cloth and pass it on!" ”

"Cover it with a black cloth and pass it on!"

……

The 200 special combat team members neatly took out the black cloth they had prepared long ago from their backpacks and put them on their heads.

"Prostrate forward! They all have long eyes, and I can't move anyone if I don't move for a while! ”

Hercules fell to the ground and cautiously climbed to the corner, followed by 200 special operators.

After climbing about 200 steps, I saw Hercules suddenly stop motionless, and the others were also standing by, and they didn't dare to breathe. Duwang Yue Yi was bold, and he glanced at the city head at a very fast speed, and saw that there were guards on the city head holding torches to probe the city, and hurriedly lowered his head and stopped moving.

The guards patrolling the city took torches and shone around the misty city, only to see the dark ground under the night sky, and there was nothing abnormal. So he went on to talk with the other brothers who were guarding the city.

Hercules continued to move, moving slowly with his hands and feet, and the closer he got to the root of the city, the slower he became. The distance was more than half an hour.

Seeing that the city was approaching, something unexpected happened. The defenders of the city frolicked and threw one man's saber out of the city. An iron knife fell from the sky and stabbed a special combat member in the thigh impartially.

The team member subconsciously wanted to scream, but quickly stopped the thought. He didn't even make a muffled snort, and quickly stuffed his right hand into his mouth, and the back of the bit hand was bloody and blurry. In the past year or so of hard training, he knows that if he makes a voice at this time, he will die not only himself, but also his brothers in the team. Hercules instilled this kind of thinking in them, and trained them into dead men with iron wills with unimaginable hardship. They came with a determination to die, and they could endure any pain.

Hercules nodded to the special combat member again and again, secretly reminding him of his unyielding spirit, and seeing that he was wounded in the leg and unable to move, he gestured to divide two members of the team to take him back to the camp the way he came.

After doing this, look up at the city, and connect your fingers - action!

The three guards shed their black cloth and leaned against the base of the wall, and two more of them ran a few steps and leaped and landed on the shoulders of the three guards...... and the arhats were stacked. The Luohan Tower was stacked in three layers in an instant, and Wang Yue ran a few steps to rise from the ground, first stepping on the palm of the base Arhat, and then kicking the palm of the second-layer Arhat, and when he reached the third layer, the thigh and calf muscles exploded with all his strength.

With the thrust of the three-layer Arhat's palm and his own powerful explosive power, Wang Yue jumped and grabbed the wall tiles at the head of the city and hung them on the wall.

He shrugged up and looked at the head of the city, and saw that the eight soldiers who were keeping vigil at the head of the city in the northwest corner were unsuspecting, talking and laughing carefully. Then Mou Mou's arm strength suddenly stretched, a somersault turned up the city, before landing, the sword was unsheathed, "Poof! ”
