Within the city on the border of Wei. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Meng, who was fully armored, nibbled on the grain cake that was already dry, and looked at Xiangcheng in the southwest. With a slightly squirming mouth and thoughtful eyes, it was clear that his heart was not on the meal at all at this time.

Silently, the big behind him floated slightly.

"General, the war drums and horns outside the city sounded in unison in the early hours of this morning, and the banner of the Zhao army has been raised on the head of the city now." Knowing that the scout soldiers rushed to the top of the city tower at this time, the bow was behind Zhang Meng.

Hearing this, Zhang Meng's slowly eating hand stopped abruptly. The wriggling lips and teeth also closed tightly at this time, and the face instantly turned a little pale.

"Besides, what's wrong with Zhao Jun right now?" After a while, Zhang Meng swallowed the food that he had chewed in his mouth for a long time, turned around and asked.

"I didn't find anything unusual, the Zhao army was divided into two, one part was inside the city, and some were stationed outside the city, the layout was strictly forbidden, and it didn't seem to have the intention of attacking Fangcheng." The soldier responded eagerly.

The voice slowly dissipated. Zhang Meng didn't say a word for a long time.

At this moment, the scout soldier seemed to remember something again, and said loudly: "There is another matter, there is news that the army is already on the way to help, but it is not clear when it will arrive here, and it is expected to take at least two days. ”

"Got it. Go down and continue to stare at Zhao Jun, and if there is any news, come back immediately to report. ”

"Yes."

After the soldier left, Zhang Meng opened his mouth and ate the dry food in his hand in a few clicks.

Near noon, under the bright sun, the west gate of Fangcheng was wide open, and more than a dozen soldiers were divided into two columns holding spears on both sides of the city gate to open a formation, Zhang Meng looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.

Although it has not yet entered spring, but the recent weather is good, and the noon sun makes people's surfaces warm, but it can't warm people's hearts.

The ice outside the West City Gate has begun to melt, which is still the side of the sun, which shows that the East Gate may not have bothered Zhao Jun.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng's brows couldn't help frowning, in this case, the Zhao army could already attack the city, thinking that it would take at least two days for the army to get here, Zhang Meng's heart was underestimated again.

After a round and turn, he thoughtfully turned around and went back to the city.

"General, do you want to re-block the city gates?" A centurion stopped him before he left and asked.

"Don't block it for the time being!" After thinking quietly for a moment, Zhang Meng finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "You quickly send someone to get in touch with the army, tell the general about the situation here, and by the way, ask the general how we should act." ”

"Yes." He saluted slowly to Zhang Meng, and when he got up again, the centurion hesitated and looked at Zhang Meng's face, "General, why don't you go with your subordinates personally?" ”

At present, this Wei border is actually under the control of Zhao Jun's scouts, and whether these soldiers can go out Zhang Meng really has no bottom in his heart, and this matter is very important, and it can no longer be delayed.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Meng finally calmed down and dispelled the sadness on his face a little, "That's fine, you take a few more people to go from different directions, tell everyone to be careful, and go back quickly." ”

"The subordinates know. Please rest assured that your subordinates will live up to the general's trust. The centurion suddenly knelt down on one knee at this moment and said solemnly.

Maybe this move is just to give Zhang Meng some confidence. After all, whether he can really succeed or not is not up to him, it depends on whether Zhao Jun's scouts are really willing.

After a short time, the six horsemen came out of the west gate, bringing up six faint dust winds, and galloped along the south according to different roads.

The soldiers outside the city rushed back in procession, and the gate was slammed shut.

In the city lord's mansion, Zhang Meng kept pacing, expecting him to sort out a clue from this, but his heart was becoming more and more chaotic.

"General, why bother!" A thousand people will stand aside and say helplessly.

"Why bother? If the Zhao army comes to attack tonight, the 5,000 defenders in the city are afraid that they will not be able to survive. After a brief pause, Zhang Meng turned his head, and his voice was not worrying.

"Since the general already knows the worst outcome, why not take a good rest, if the Zhao army also has the strength to attack the city, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and we will do our best to do some things. Who can say exactly how far it will go in the end?! ”

The slow voice continued to echo in the City Lord's Mansion. Hearing this, Zhang Meng just lowered his head and let out a deep sigh.

……

At this time, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the soldiers in Xiangcheng had all started to rest according to Zhao Yong's orders.

More than 50,000 troops have already lived in the city, and only more than 10,000 people remain outside, and the army commanded by the general Zhao Yuan is stationed five miles southwest of Xiangcheng. The whole army was leisurely and contented, without the slightest sense of wartime tension.

Until nightfall, under the signal of the crown prince Zhao Yong, the 40,000 troops in the city poured out of the nest and went straight to Fangcheng, which was dozens of miles away, and the more than 10,000 soldiers who were originally left outside entered the city to rest.

The 40,000 Zhao army, which had rested all day, could be described as surging, and every soldier was full of energy and held his head high.

In addition, the army moved forward without the slightest disguise under Zhao Yong's instructions, and torches illuminated this team of 40,000 people like a fire dragon.

The Zhao character banner held high was eerie and terrifying by the firelight, and it was swaying in the cold wind like a powerful ghost with teeth and claws.

"Report to the general, an unknown number of Zhao troops are surrounding my east gate." A soldier guarding the city in the city lord's mansion of Fangcheng hurriedly rushed in, kneeling on the ground and saying loudly.

The voice was indescribably urgent.

"Zhao Jun is really here?!"

"The Zhao army is actually attacking the city at this time-"

"No longer at this time, is it possible that you want them to be in the time of the child or the time of the ugly?"

The generals who were originally staring dryly exploded in an instant, and they couldn't tell whether it was a quarrel or a discussion.

"That's enough." At this moment, Zhang Meng shouted, stood up suddenly, pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand and said, "Follow the general to the city wall to defend against the enemy." Ordered the whole army, and swore to the death to let the Zhao people know the majesty of my Great Wei. ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Meng had already thrown off the big man behind him and strode out.

The generals behind him looked at each other one by one, "The last general has an order." ”

When Zhang Meng ascended the city tower, Zhao Jun had already reached a distance of less than 100 steps under the city, but he only opened a lineup around the city.

Under Zhao Yong's orders, the 40,000-strong army did not take a single step.
