Li Sui with his two thousand cavalry, has been in ambush in the first line of the gorge for a day and a night, with his jumping temperament, nest here has long been irritable, if it is not for the Son of Heaven has a strict order not to act rashly, maybe he led the team to him to practice when Ji Dan set out yesterday. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The sun is high in the sky, and it is the middle of the day. The fiery red sun generously swayed its heat, making the cavalry who were lying in ambush in the valley sweat like rain, and to their dismay, the leaves in the valley did not move at all—the absence of a hint of wind made the heat even more unbearable. The soldiers all untied their armor, and many people grabbed a handful of broad leaves and fanned them vigorously, hoping to bring a little coolness, but they didn't feel much coolness, but because of the exercise, the sweat on their bodies flowed faster, and they suddenly found that the gains outweighed the losses!

Li Suimao was in a bush, bored counting the sand on the ground, and the guards came to report: "The king's order has arrived!" ”

He rolled over and stood up, and asked excitedly, "What instructions?" ”

"With the addition of fire paint, you have to dismantle it yourself, general." The guard said and handed over a silk scroll, and the fire paint at the seal was stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven.

Li Sui opened the silk scroll, carefully read the brief order on it, and then carefully put it away: "Call Wu Qing to come over." ”

Wu Qing, the captain of the scout team, was a tall man of twenty-eight or nineteen, and when he heard this, he hurried over: "General! ”

"How many people did Ji Dan dispatch today? How many people are there in the left-behind camps? ”

Wu Qing was slightly surprised, he had just received the scout's report, and he hadn't had time to report it, how could he know? "Just received a report from the scouts, Ji Dan dispatched about 50,000 people. Led by him personally, there were about 15,000 people left in the camp, and Ji Peng, the chief general of the Western Zhou army, was in charge. ”

"Ji Peng?" Li Sui's eyes lit up and said: "The Eastern Zhou Army has always been arrogant. Not necessarily at his disposal. Take your scouts and cut off all the eyeliner in your path, and make sure that your movements are clean and that your enemies don't find out! ”

"No!" After receiving the order, Wu Qing beckoned the more than thirty scouts who had not been dispersed by his subordinates to leave the valley.

Then, Li then summoned the commander-in-chief of the army to make detailed arrangements, and half an hour later, he drove out of the canyon with two thousand cavalry. Rumbling towards the camp of the two-week army.

One by one, the altars were shot by the stone thrower to the other side of the river, and the clay pots were smashed to pieces after they landed, and the wine overflowed. The aroma of wine drifted with the river breeze in the ranks of the two-week army, and the soldiers suddenly smelled this incomparably pure taste, and they all sniffed hard, and their spirits were shocked. It seems that they have more strength to work.

Ji Dan took a deep sniff. He muttered, "What's that?" Is it fragrant? What do they mean by throwing some wine? ”

Marching Sima Lin Huang stepped forward and quipped: "Maybe the Son of Heaven sees that our soldiers are working too hard, so he will treat everyone with fine wine!" ”

Ji Dan was suspicious, but he couldn't think of a reason, shook his head and said, "Don't laugh yet, who knows what tricks this kid has." ”

"What can a good wine do except satisfy your cravings?" Lin Huang said disapprenously: "His trick may be to make everyone greedy!" Isn't it demoralizing that you have good wine in front of you, but you can't drink it on the ground? Did he think that such a method would make our soldiers stop filling the river? ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Ji Dan turned his head worriedly. It was found that there were at least twenty or thirty jars of wine thrown over, and they were not concentrated in one place. It's throwing it all over the place, what are they going to do? Fortunately, the river has been filled in six or seven feet of road, and soon you can cross the river by ladder, no matter what tricks you have, as long as the army crosses the river, everything will be controlled by me.

At this moment, the rumbling of horses' hooves sounded again, and the carriage on the opposite bank appeared again. Ji Dan no longer had the heart to think about the wine, and shouted: "Pass the order, and put a row of large shields on each side of the paved road." No matter how the other side shoots, none of our people can retreat, even if they use corpses to pile up, they will pile up a way for me to come out today. ”

The heralds hurried to the riverbank.

"Wenxiu."

"The end will be."

"Drive all your 3,000 men to the river as a prison army, and if there are any retreats, cut them all down for me!"

"No!" After receiving the order, Wen Xiu led his 3,000 men to the back of the river reclamation team quickly, and looked ahead with their swords raised one by one.

After more than 100 chariots of the Zhou Chamber came to the riverbank, they turned their horses' heads and turned the carriages towards the enemy. Since there were no archers on the other side, the archers of the Zhou Room stood up straight without any scruples, and shot out the feather arrows behind them one by one, and even had time to aim and shoot again.

Arrows rained down, people were like arrow targets, and it didn't take long for a large number of corpses to float on the surface of the river, and the river water was also dyed red, and the terrible screams even made the defenders on the city wall feel sorry.

However, the river reclamation team completely ignored the rain of arrows, rushed up the filled road one after another, threw sandbags or stones into the water in front of them, and some simply threw the dead bodies into the river on the spot, and the moat was filled inch by inch.

When the archers had shot all the twenty arrows in their quivers, they found that although they had taken thousands of enemy lives, the river was only seven or eight feet long, and a ladder could be used to connect the two sides.

At this time, a herald rode to the river on a war horse and shouted: "The Son of Heaven has an order, the archers retreat." ”

More than 100 chariots retreated one by one.

Ji Dan's eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "The river reclamation team retreats, on the ladder, up, up!" ”

Then a team of negative ladders carried four or five ladders and rushed up the road that had just been filled in the river, and set the ladders on the opposite bank, and a passage was quickly formed.

Lin Fang assembled his team, lined up in three columns, and led the way towards the river.

The soldiers were pressed and beaten for two days, and countless comrades-in-arms left forever, making them already angry, and now the moat has finally become a smooth road, and they all screamed and rushed up with Lin Fang.

On the city wall, Ji Che came behind Ji Yan and said, "Withdraw the archers to the city wall to defend?" ”

Ji Yan asked, "How many arrows do we have?" ”

"Nearly 10,000 were shot yesterday, more than 20,000 were shot today, and now there are only more than 20,000." Ji Che's words were full of worry, although the enemy had been killed and wounded nearly 10,000 people, but they still had more than 50,000 people, how could they hold the only more than 20,000 arrows?

"Have you already set up the equipment for defending the city, such as rolling stones and wooden nail beds?"

"It's already set."

"Have all the outsiders shot over?"

"Yes."

"Good. Unload the war horses pulling the cart, and let Chen Kai take your 1,000 cavalry and stand behind the city gate to stand by. ”

"No!"

Ji Che immediately arranged for the herald to issue the royal order. (To be continued.) )
