Zhang Yi ordered his entourage to take out a hundred gold and move it to Song Ying's house. Song Ying hurriedly thanked him, but he refused to accept it, he said: "It is still the duty of a doctor to save the life and help the wounded, Mr. He Laozhang thanked me so much, he is ashamed to kill me." Besides, your wife also gave me money for treatment back then, so I hope Mr. Zhang will take it back quickly. ”

Zhang Yi couldn't help but say, waved his hand and motioned for his relatives to quit, and he himself quickly left Song Ying's Langzhong shop. Song Ying chased him out, but because he couldn't move a hundred gold alone, he couldn't catch up with Zhang Yi's carriage, and watched Zhang Yi disappear from the corner with his entourage.

On the day of departure, Zhang Yi appeared at the north gate of Yingdu on time, and he saw that Jingchi was already waiting there with a team of about 200 people.

After the two sides met, Zhang Yi and Jingchi got into the carriage with their front and back feet, and the large group of men and horses wandered in the direction of the Fangcheng area of the Chu State, passed the Fangcheng, and turned to the northwest direction, which is the Mianchi area of South Korea.

Because Jingchi was under the banner of the Chu State supporting the Chu army on the Michi front, when they marched within the border of Korea, they did not encounter the slightest obstacle.

Zhang Yi was anxious in her heart, urging Jingchi to hurry up, and the team slept in the open, and finally arrived at the city of Mianchi after a day and a night. Zhang Yi didn't dare to show his face, and the warriors in the original Qin State mission he brought with him also changed into the costumes of the Chu people, so no one recognized them at all.

The large battalion of the Chu army was stationed on the western outskirts of Michi City, and they were separated from the South Korean troops across a small river, relatively independent of each other. As for the mixed formation of Qi and Zhao led by Su Qin, they were stationed in the eastern suburbs of Mianchi, some of the Zhao troops led by Ning Jun were stationed in the southern suburbs, and Zhou Shao commanded the troops of Yan to be stationed in the northern suburbs of Mianchi.

Among the Wei troops of the Six Kingdoms, because of the traitors, coupled with the half-heartedness of Duan Qi, the chief general of the Wei army, Su Qin really didn't worry about their participation in the operation of encircling Michi, so he arranged them in Xipi to be the queen of all the combined forces.

When Zhang Yi arrived at the Mianchi front, Su Qin led the combined column alliance to carry out three large-scale siege operations against Mianchi City. The four-way troops fought at the same time, advancing in unison, with the purpose of giving full play to the advantage of numbers, so that Sima Cuo in the city was overwhelmed, thus revealing flaws.

Once there is the slightest flaw, Su Qin will of course seize it, take advantage of the situation to rush into Michi City, and annihilate the more than 70,000 Qin troops in the city in one fell swoop.

After three large-scale sieges, the Qin army in the city has been exhausted, the heroes can't stand the manpower, the Qin army is not brave in battle, it can not be said that it is not desperate, but the offensive of the coalition army is more and more fierce again, and the Qin army can not withstand such rounds of torture.

During the third siege, the tower of the south gate had been occupied by the Zhao army commanded by Ning Jun, and they were about to get off the tower and open the south gate to put in the siege army, when Shi Hong, the general of the Qin army, took the lead and rushed up to the tower.

He wore a cloak, regardless of the fear of his life, the iron spear in his hand danced like a windmill, with five or six arrow wounds on his body, leading five hundred Qin soldiers to fight desperately, before finally recapturing the South Gate Tower and solving the urgent need of the South Gate.

Sima Cuo later heard the battle report at the south gate, and was so anxious that he almost stared out his eyes, and he stood up from behind the handsome case at once, eager to go into battle in person and sacrifice himself on the front line of the fierce battle to defend the city.

Pang Ci was by his side as a senator, and he saw that Sima Cuo was anxious again, worried that his old injuries would recur and vomit blood again, so he hurriedly reminded Sima Cuo: "General Sima, don't worry, you have to pay attention to your body." ”

Sima Cuo realized his gaffe, he tried to calm his anxious mood, let out a long sigh, and said, "Can I not be in a hurry? If this continues, the combined column army only needs to launch another large-scale siege of the city, and our army will inevitably be overwhelmed by them. ”

"At that time, I was afraid that none of the soldiers of the Qin army would be able to escape from this besieged dead city." Sima was talking as he spoke, and tears flashed in his eyes.

How could Pang Ci not understand the mood of the commander Sima Cuo, and he also knew that if he didn't take emergency measures, he was afraid that the Qin army in Michi City would not be able to escape this catastrophe. Pang Ci proposed to Sima Cuo: "For the sake of today's plan, it is not a way for us to stay here, should General Sima consider breaking through?" ”

Sima sat down, he looked at Pang Ci, and replied: "I don't want to break through, but once the Qin army leaves Michi City, loses the city wall as a cover, and is exposed to the wilderness, it can't stand the group attack tactics of the ant soldiers of the column." ”

He paused for a moment, thought about it again, and muttered to himself, "However, sitting and waiting for death in the city is not the way to save yourself. Waiting for the monarch to send troops to support, there is no hope. It seems that we had to plan a desperate fight and break through. ”

Pang Ci was much calmer than Sima Cuo, and he said, "I don't expect that the monarch will sit idly by and watch the Qin army in Michi City be eaten by the Hezhong army, after all, these soldiers are the most elite troops of the Qin State. I also guessed that the monarch was faced with a major problem, that is, the reinforced Qin army had left Hangu Pass, but it was difficult to break through the Baishi City, which was held by the Hezhong army. ”

Sima Coo-Ying said: "What General Pang said is extremely true, and this is where my sorrow lies. He lamented again and said, "Heavens, what sin I have against you! I was asked to bury the most elite division of the Qin State in a foreign land, if this is the case, what face will I have to see the monarch of our country! ”

As he spoke, his right hand subconsciously touched the hilt of his saber at his waist. Pang Ci observed this detail, and secretly worried about Sima Cuo in his heart. thought to himself: "If the Qin army in Michi is gone, I am afraid that Sima Cuo will also kill himself, he really can't accept this tragic situation." ”

Pang Ci also kept an eye on it, determined to take care of Sima Cuo and pull him back from the brink of death. Pang Ci comforted Sima and said: "General Sima, don't worry, I think that the army led by Su Qin Xiao'er has been repulsed after these three sieges, and it will not be easy for him to organize a large-scale attack." ”

"At this time, the Hezong Army and the Qin Army are at a time when they are attritioning each other and competing with each other for willpower, so we can't afford to lose this breath."

Sima looked at Pang Ci, nodded, and said, "I think that's all I can do." However, Qin's reinforcements are also very important, and I will arrange a messenger lieutenant again, so that he can fly the pigeon again and pass the book, urging the country to send reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

Just when Sima Cuo and Pang Ci were worried, the team of Chu people led by Jing Chi and Zhang Yi had already arrived at the periphery of Mianchi City. Zhang Yi specially asked Zheng Cheng, who was wearing a military uniform of the Chu State, to send a message to Jingchi, suggesting that Jingchi stop the convoy for the time being.

Jing Chi received Zhang Yi's suggestion, he was a little puzzled, so he came to Zhang Yi in person and asked him what was the reason?

Zhang Yi sat in the carriage and never showed up, he invited Jing Chi to his carriage and said to him: "Doctor Jing, you must have heard that the general will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch, you went to the Chu army camp so loudly, called Qu Xin, and announced the order in front of him. What if he doesn't listen? As soon as he gave the order, the soldiers of the Chu army must not beat you away. ”

Jing Chi is a civil servant and rarely participates in military affairs, and this time he came to Michi just to convey the edict of the regent prince Mi Huai, where did he think about this problem. When he heard Zhang Yi's words, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly asked, "What should I do then?" Yes, if General Qu Xin doesn't listen to the edict, I can't help him! ”

Zhang Yi said: "So, Doctor Jing still has to act cautiously, let's stop here for a while, and you send someone to the Chu army camp to find out the truth first." Anyway, the people you lead are all Chu people, the same dialect, the same clothes, no one will doubt the people you sent. ”

Jing Chi nodded deeply, so he ordered the Chu people and horses he brought to rest behind a mountain col in the southern suburbs of Michi City, and then sent two sturdy and nimble sergeants to the camp in the western suburbs of the Chu army to inquire about the movements of the chief general Qu Xin.

About an hour later, it was already approaching dusk, and the people who had heard the information returned, and they reported to Jingchi: "This morning, the Chu army participated in a large-scale siege operation, and the chief general, General Qu Xin, went to the headquarters of the joint army in the afternoon to discuss the military situation. ”

Jing Chi hurriedly relayed the news to Zhang Yi, and when Zhang Yi heard it, he was overjoyed and secretly shouted: "God help me!" He said to Jing Chi: "That Doctor Jing took advantage of this God-given opportunity to rush to the camp of the Chu army, convene the generals in the army, and announce the edict to them. After General Qu Xin returns to the camp, let's take advantage of his unpreparedness and take it in one fell swoop, and the Chu army will be able to smoothly control the hands of Doctor Jing. ”

When Jing Chi heard this, he was also overjoyed, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to get back on the road quickly and go straight to the camp of the Chu army.

When they arrived at the camp gate, Jing Chi sent someone to show the sergeant guarding the camp gate the supreme proclamation stamped with the seal of the monarch, as well as the tiger talisman for transferring troops.

In this way, Jing Chi galloped straight to the Chinese army tent of the Chu army. All the way, of course, it was also a pass through the king's edict, and in the face of the traces of the king's seal and the real big tiger talisman, the sergeants knew that this was a special order from the highest power, and no one dared to question it, let alone obstruct it.

After Jing Chi arrived at the Chinese army's tent, he sat down in the main general's seat, arranged a screen behind him, and arranged for Zhang Yi to sit behind the screen. Zhang Yi whispered to Jing Chi and asked him to send a herald to quickly summon the senior generals in the Chu army camp to come to the Chinese army to discuss matters.

Jing Chi questioned in a low voice: "Can we beat the drum and gather the generals?" It would not be troublesome to send someone to call, and it would not necessarily reach every general. ”
