Listening to the sound of horses' hooves fading away, and watching the back of me that had turned into a black spot disappear completely, Han Zhaohou tidied up his robe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Under the careful support of the eunuchs, he slowly turned around, boarded the king's cha, and slowly returned under the support of the honor guard of thousands of people.

……

The wind finally stopped after raging all night.

The next morning, the sun was shining, and although it wasn't necessarily warm, at least there were no snowflakes that stood in the way of everything.

At this moment, Nanyang City has completely become a large camp of the army, and all the people have been temporarily relocated.

On the huge high platform, Gong Zhong was wearing a battle robe, with a pair of thick eyebrows narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face was as angry and arrogant as last night's snowstorm, which made people awe-inspiring.

Beside him, a large half-human-tall hourglass slowly slid down the grains of sand, and the general Han Ju, who was waiting on the side, was staring at it with his eyes unblinking.

Three poles on the sun. In a short time, Han Ju, who was staring at the hourglass, stood up suddenly, took two steps to the side of Gong Zhongxuan, bowed respectfully, and said, "General, the time has come." ”

Under the high platform, facing the 60,000 troops who were neatly arranged in the public ranks, when they saw Han Ju's movements, their hearts tightened, and an inexplicable urgency and strangeness permeated the whole body. At this moment, everyone's faces became cold and solemn.

Without looking back, Gong Zhong looked around at the awe-inspiring crowd below, raised his hand, waved it back, and blurted out his cold voice at this moment: "Sacrifice flag." ”

"Yes." Han Ju should have passed.

Getting up, after a few steps of trot, Han Ju had already come to another high platform nearby, "Pass the general's order, start sacrificing the flag." ”

The words that revealed the infinite majesty and coldness resounded in the ears of every soldier.

On the high platform here, three blindfolded men with five flowers tied up were standing in a row with a pig and a cow, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the words.

Pang Juan attacked Han, and they became deserters in the battle guarding Nanyang, and they were able to live until this time to be punished, which was already God's special mercy for the three of them.

But at this time, the end of this life made the three of them feel a lot more relaxed in their hearts, as if one owed a huge amount of money, and at this moment their debt was finally about to be paid off.

The shirtless axe hand couldn't help but speak, and raised the sharp blade in his hand high, the cold sharpness, shining with a dazzling light in the sunlight.

The next moment, with two short and jagged roars, a pig and a cow slashed through the void with the blood of three people, splashed high, and weakly hit the face of the knife and axeman, splashing on the bruised banner of "Han".

The sacrificial flag is finished. Looking at the blood that splattered out, the hearts of the 60,000 soldiers seemed to be injected with endless vitality, and their hearts were stirred.

Gong Zhong was extravagant, still scanning the 60,000 soldiers with a majestic face, waving his sword and pointing directly in the direction of Daliang City, the capital of Wei, and the loud voice passed through the sky above Nanyang, "Go on the expedition." ”

The army of sixty thousand turned in unison and quickly made way for him.

Gong Zhongxuan, as well as several generals such as Han Ju and Du Feng, walked off the high platform quickly. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, one turned over and rode on a war horse, following the 20,000 soldiers who held the Ge and set out with the army.

……

On the border of Wei, Yicheng was the first city to bear the brunt.

At this moment, Ni Tao was standing on the tall city gate and looking out, looking at the past, there was a wide open space outside the city, if he was allowed to plan and defend the city by himself, it would be almost impossible to take him by surprise.

On the walls on both sides of the city are soldiers who are busy placing all kinds of fortification equipment back and forth, and the thick snow that covers their feet and necks has already been cleared by the soldiers.

Within five miles outside the city, the original official road and the weeds on both sides have all appeared at this moment.

Through that gaze, a fast horse with a white and brown color galloped down the cleared official road.

From far to near, the sound of horses' hooves running soon reached Ni Tao's ears.

The person who came was a scout who had turned into a chaifu a month ago.

He turned over and dismounted under a clever wit, and galloped all the way to the city, and when he paused, he was facing Ni Tao's face.

"In such a hurry, but there is movement in the Korean army?" Moving unnaturally with his hands behind his back, Ni Tao asked without any expression on his face.

The soldier's breath from wheezing as he ran turned into a mist, obscuring the little haste on his face.

Bending down and arching his hand, he hurriedly said: "Yesterday afternoon, Han Zhaohou personally sent Gong Zhong to leave Zhengcheng, and now it is estimated that the Han army has already sacrificed the flag in Nanyang, and the war is afraid that it is far away." ”

This moment, which I had expected for a long time, is finally coming today.

"Got it, go back and continue to monitor the movements of the South Korean army, and report anything unusual immediately."

"Yes."

After the soldier had passed, he galloped down the tower, mounted his horse, and galloped away.

On the city tower, Ni Tao turned around, stretched out his hand and pointed to a thousand-person general in front of him, and said, "You quickly go to the Hedong military camp to report to the general, just say that the Korean army has moved." ”

Placing the boulder in his hand, the thousand people stood up and smashed their fists on their chests, bowing slightly: "Yes." ”

A male soared in the sky, leaving behind a hissing sound, which was like a wake-up song from above the nine heavens, and the listeners all felt refreshed.

Not long after, smoke rose in a corner of Yicheng. After lunch, the trumpets of the whole army resounded over the city.

The fifteen thousand defenders placed in Yicheng quickly assembled in the center of the city, and at this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps shook the world.

"The whole army will go out of the city, and from today onwards, they will practice the formation outside the city." A thousand people will ride horses and lead them to convey Ni Tao's military orders.

With that, before the rough but slightly hoarse voice had dissipated, he turned his horse's head and ran out of the city.

The army behind him raised its front and followed.

"General, the whole army is assembled." After the army was all out of the south gate and lined up neatly, the thousands of people who had just ridden to deliver the military order would return to the city tower to report to Ni Tao, waiting for the next instructions.

Looking down at the neatly arranged army, Ni Tao slowly stretched out his fingers, "Let the army advance another three miles, and place a high platform in that position, I will personally command the formation." ”

First, he ordered the snow to be cleared, and then he opened the city gate to rehearse the formation. Everything in this total will be difficult for the thousands of people in front of you to understand.

The enemy is outnumbered in this battle, defending the city should be the best policy, the Korean army is notoriously weak in combat effectiveness, if it is defending the city, this victory should be eighty percent, if it is not for the 40,000 army is mostly a new army, the probability of victory should be ten percent.

Pursing his lips, the thousand generals showed doubts on their faces, and asked softly with puzzlement: "General, aren't we relying on the city to defend?" What are the better odds of defending the city? ”

Hearing this, Ni Tao's figure that was about to turn around and go down to the city paused slightly, and his face still couldn't see any dark color, just like his incomprehensible heart, "This is also what the general meant." ”
