As the sun sets, the floating clouds in the sky are also trying to change color. Yue'er, who couldn't cover it, poked her head out even harder. The horses were fluttering and panting, and the voyage was almost out of breath.

"My lord, there's camp ahead." Leaving Mo Diaoma and returning to the distant voyage, he said.

"Good, good, good." Tiredly uttered three good words, and the voyage lay on the horse's back.

"My lord, hold on, and you'll be here soon." Ah Jin has been with Yuanhang since he came out of Yizhou. Wuying once instructed that unless he sailed on the tuba, he would have to follow even a small solution.

"Ah, Kim, I'm going to fall apart." Yuanhang tilted his head and said weakly.

"Or, think about the young grandmother......"

"Hey, that's a good idea." Yuanhang's eyes lit up and he struggled to sit up.

"Look, my lord, there are some people on the side of the road ahead." Dao Zi was the first to see on the right side, pointing to Yuanhang.

It was the time of the sun and the moon, and the light was already dim but there was no moonlight shining, and only about eight or nine people could be seen vaguely.

Coming closer, Dao Zi leaned over and said, "It's the deputy marshal, my lord." ”

Yuanhang was stunned, what was he doing standing on the side of the road? Could it be that his father-in-law asked him to pick him up. No, my father-in-law would never send him. Could it be ...... It suddenly dawned on him that he had come to see how many soldiers and horses he had brought out.

Yuanhang grinned, turned his head sideways and said to Dao Zi: "Go and tell the cavalry brother that you are about to arrive at the camp, and after a while, you will beat the horses up." ”

Seeing that Chen Plaque was on the side of the road, Yuanhang raised his hand violently and waved the horsewhip, and the sunspot was whipped and neighed, and he raised the horse's hooves and galloped. The brothers shouted in unison, and for a moment the horse team galloped by.

The heavy rain of several days has already made the road muddy, and more than 100,000 people have just passed, and the road is accompanied by muddy water. This rush made it too late for Chen Pai to dodge. From head to toe, except for the ass that is still somewhat clean, it has become a clay figure. Before he could open his eyes, the voyage had already arrived outside the big tent, and he dismounted and went into the account.

There was a rush of footsteps, the curtain was slammed open, and Chen Pai walked in covered in mud. Situ Hao was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes before he recognized that this was his deputy marshal, looked at Chen Pai, and said, "This ...... Why is that? ”

Chen Pai rolled his eyes, pointed to the voyage, and said loudly: "How can this be reasonable, why did you deliberately splash me with muddy water." The mouth opened too wide, and it flowed into the mouth a little, and I hurriedly snorted a few times.

Yuanhang really looked innocent, got up and saluted, and said: "Why did the deputy marshal say that it was me, I have seen the deputy marshal from Yizhou here." ”

"Nonsense, I'm the one who was on the side of the road." Chen Pai gritted his teeth and said sharply.

"Oh, there are people on the side of the road. But how can the subordinate officer He De, dare to greet the deputy marshal in person. Yuanhang hurriedly saluted again.

"I, who are you, and you are worthy of me." Chen took the face towel handed by the soldier and wiped it.

"What is the deputy marshal doing with people standing on the side of the road?" Yuanhang asked.

"I ......" Before Chen Pai could think of how to answer, Situ Hao took over the words there and said, "Okay, it's just a misunderstanding." Camp here tonight, and arrive in Hanjun tomorrow, so you can rest early and recuperate for tomorrow. ”

"Yes." The tents replied in unison, and each went back to the barracks. The Chen plaque snorted coldly when he left, but he still smiled when he sailed away.

"I'm." Chen Pai walked back and forth in his tent, and suddenly stopped and said to the soldiers beside him: "Let's do it tonight, you go and kill him." ”

"General, no." The pro-soldier stepped forward and said, "Now that we haven't arrived in Han County, if you do it at this time, you will definitely arouse the suspicion of others." When they arrived in Han County and the two armies clashed, everyone would think that Xiao Liang had sent someone to assassinate him. ”

Chen Pai thought about it, nodded and said, "Well, let him live one more night." ”

When he returned to the tent, Shadowless and the others followed.

"My lord, there are several personal soldiers behind the deputy marshal, and they are definitely not ordinary soldiers." Shadowless bowed and said.

"Oh? You can see it. Yuanhang asked questioningly.

"Didn't the adults pay attention? The soldiers followed him closely, muddy water splashed on the road, but the four of them did not have much muddy water on them. "Shadowless is analyzing the voyage.

Ah Jin answered: "Yes, they walked very softly, their eyes were attentive, and they were by no means ordinary people. ”

"Maybe like us, even though they are not soldiers, they have come to protect adults." Dao Zi said disapprerovingly.

"That's not right." Yuanhang stared, pondered for a while, and said: "If you protect the plaque, you can be like you, why pretend to be a soldier." ”

"Yes, so why?" Dao Zi shook his head and said.

Yuanhang narrowed his eyes and paced a few times. suddenly remembered what Wang Jin had said to himself. He said that Chen Fu fought for Chen Pai to be a deputy marshal, but he was afraid of looking for an opportunity...... At that time, he was angry and didn't pay attention to it carefully, but now that he thinks about it, this opportunity that Wang Jin said is to imply that Chen Fu is going to attack him.

"Those soldiers are here to assassinate me." Yuanhang said very calmly.

"Huh?" Dao Zi shouted out in a lost voice, and Wuying and Ah Jin were shocked.

"My lord, I'm going to kill them now." Dao Zi jumped up and said.

Yuanhang waved his hand, signaling them not to worry, and said calmly: "Even if you come to assassinate me, it won't be tonight, wouldn't it be better to start a battle again." ”

"Let's keep this place tonight, if we don't come, we will kill them when we come." Dao Zi clenched his fists and said fiercely.

"Ah Jin can stay, you go and rest, no shadow, you have to keep an eye on them tomorrow." Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had another day's journey today, so they let everyone rest.

Dao Zi hurriedly said, "I'll stay with you." ”

"Go back, don't startle the snake." Yuanhang waved his hand again and again, and Wuying and Dao Zi had no choice but to retreat.

Wuying came out of the tent and looked at the side of the Chen plaque, lowered his head and said to Dao Zi's ear: "You and I will take turns guarding the outside of the adult's tent tonight, don't be careless." ”

"Hmm." Dao Zi stared at the big tent of Chen Plaque, and nodded in response.

Yuanhang went out of the account and went to Situ Hao's tent, and told Situ Hao about the martial arts of the soldiers around Chen Pai and the things he was worried about, and Situ Hao looked at Yuanhang with disbelief.

"He is so bold that he dares to murder you and me?"

"Father-in-law, you can't have the heart to harm others, but you can't have the heart to prevent people." Yuanhang nodded and said.

"Don't be reckless just yet, pay more attention." Situ Hao still didn't believe that Chen Pai dared to do this.

"Well, I'll send someone to protect you tomorrow, and you have to be careful yourself." The voyage did not stay long, and got up to say goodbye.

Once again, the sun peeked out from the distant mountains, only this time, it was destined to be even redder than everyday. Outside the city of Han County, the Great Liang army was overwhelming. The battle flag dances in the wind, the war horse neighs against the wind, the spear is pointed outward, and the sword is facing the sky. The gentle sunlight shone on the armor of the soldiers, and the light reflected was extremely cold in the eyes of the soldiers in Hanjun City.

"General, the last general is invited to fight." Han Jun's general Gu Xin held the big knife in his hand and looked at the city and said.

"No, General. The enemy's forces are strong, we should hold the city, and Marshal Feng will definitely send troops to help. Another general, Liu Wenzhu, hurriedly stopped and said.

Lord Han propped Wang Sijin on the wall with his hands and looked at the city with some concern.

"General, if you don't go to war, the enemy will attack the city, and it will be difficult for our army to hold on." Gu Xin poked the big knife the ground.

"No, it's better to hold on to the city." Wang Sijin thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There are many enemy generals, there are only three of us in the city, we should avoid their edge, with the city delaying time, Gu Yu's reinforcements have already come to Han County, and they can be reached at night." ”

Gu Xin sighed and had to obey the order.

In the Great Liang Army, Chen Pai stood on his horse, turned his head sideways and said to Situ Hao: "Marshal, when I first arrived in the army, I didn't make an inch. Wait for me to challenge first, kill the enemy and sacrifice the head to the marshal. ”

Before Situ Hao could speak, Yuanhang was on the other side, and said sideways: "Pick a fart battle, when our army first came, there is no city to defend, if you don't take Han County quickly, Gu Yu's reinforcements will arrive immediately." Why did our army refuse? ”

"You ......" Chen Pai saw that Yuanhang was speechless, and was about to get angry, when his face suddenly changed, and he sneered and said: "Listening to the words of the Overseer, it seems that this city is very easy to capture." ”

"How can such a small city stand in the way of my army?" Yuanhang smiled disdainfully, clenched his fists at Situ Hao, and said: "Marshal, I, the Yizhou soldiers, am willing to be the vanguard and take this city to the marshal." ”

"Don't underestimate the enemy when you sail away. There are no less than 30,000 defenders in this Han County, and there are cities to defend ......" Situ Hao frowned, and said secretly: Yuanhang has always been cautious in doing things, why are you rash. There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou, and it is impossible to capture Han County, which has 30,000 defenders.

"Good! Since Ye Dujun said so, he must have been captured, and the deputy marshal waited for the Yizhou soldiers to attack the city. Chen Pai didn't wait for Situ Hao to finish speaking, and said with a sneer.

Yuanhang ignored him, nodded his head to Situ Hao, and waved his hand to Sun Ke.

Sun Ke nodded and said to Limo: "Go up the cloud ladder." ”

There was a roaring sound from behind, and each siege ladder was pulled by two horses, and there were soldiers pushing it behind, and when they arrived at the front of the battle, they lined up and unloaded the horses. The soldiers shouted in unison and pushed forward, followed by shieldmen and archers, who lined up in turn, and slowly advanced.

"What is this?" Chen Pai looked at these behemoths strangely.

Situ Hao turned his head to look at the voyage.

"This is the siege ladder, with them, the siege is much easier." Yuanhang whispered to Situ Hao.

"General, what is this enemy army?" Gu Xin stared at the siege ladder and ran to Wang Sijin's side and asked.

"I haven't seen it, it should be used for siege. Command to go down, and the archers prepare. Then get the pikemen ready, and if the enemy comes close to the city, they will stab down. ”

"Yes." Gu Xin conveyed the order, and the archers in the city were already ready to fly.

Daliang's army stopped outside the firing range, and only the siege ladder continued to advance.

"Shoot the arrows!" Gu Xin gave an order, and the arrows on the city rained like a tide, and the off-string arrows rushed down, which actually made the sunlight disappear under the city wall in an instant. The siege ladder was like a big shield, and the arrows whizzed on it, but they bounced back and fell down one after another.

Seeing that the fifteen siege ladders had been pushed within the range of the short crossbow, he drew his long sword and pointed at the city, shouting: "Short crossbowman, release the arrows." ”
