Xi'an, the spiritual cradle of China, the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the representative of Chinese culture, is known as 'the golden city of thousands of miles, the country of abundance', although, in the Ming Dynasty, it has become barren because of excessive development, but his position in the Chinese's mind is irreplaceable.

The city of Xi'an, which was supposed to be beautiful and ancient, is now in the midst of a war.

Outside the city of Xi'an, one by one the elite warriors with steel knives and spears in their hands, while dodging the sharp arrows like rain in the sky, they also had to pay attention to their feet to prevent the corpses everywhere from being knocked down, but even if there were lucky people who could rush to the bottom of the tall and majestic city walls, they were soon beaten to the ground by the continuous hot oil and rolling logs, and thus became one of the corpses like a mountain.

Not far from here, on a hill, a group of generals are looking at this side, and the leader is wearing a felt hat, tall, with one eye with an eyepatch Li Zicheng, from a small post pawn, to today become the commander of a million troops, it can be said that Li Zicheng is successful, but his success is the sorrow of the Ming court.

"What's the matter, yesterday there were still a few people who broke into the city wall, why can't they even go up the city wall today, a Xi'an, we have been attacking for several months, why is there still no progress." Seeing that the siege was not going well, Li Zicheng couldn't help but say angrily.

"Generalissimo, don't worry, I think as soon as I leave, these rabbit cubs will be relaxed, I'll go down now, I won't believe it, Xiangyang, Luoyang's hard city walls have been beaten down by us, a small Xi'an, can still turn against the sky." As soon as Li Zicheng's words came out, a strong man with a full beard and dark skin behind him said.

This person is Liu Zongmin, who is also Li Zicheng's most trusted general, and it can be said that he has the highest prestige in the army except for Li Zicheng, and in addition, he is also the most capable of fighting in the army, and Xiangyang was also defeated by him.

Hearing Liu Zongmin's words, he saw a person wearing a scholar's uniform and looking like an old peasant, and hurriedly said, "General Liu is slow, if you want to attack this Xi'an city, but you must not be in a hurry, you know, whether we attacked Xiangyang or Luoyang and other places before, the soldiers in those cities were just some farmers, so after we attacked for a few days, we took care of one thing and lost the other, and soon leaked flaws."

And this Xi'an is different, he is not only a tall city wall, but the most important thing is that the soldiers stationed in the city are elite soldiers carefully trained by Sun Chuanting, they are not those Ming troops who can only fight with the wind, but those who have experienced a hundred battles and dare to die, so if we want to take Xi'an City, the only way is to trap it, and then keep attacking, making them weak and weak, and finally conquering it in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, Zuo Fu's words are reasonable, although we have a lot of people, but most of them are recruits who have not fought a hard battle, and they are not the elite opponents of Sun Chuanting at all, so we still use our advantages to kill them, I believe that this Xi'an City will be ours sooner or later, but, Zuo Fu, our food is not much, you must know, other things can be replaced, but if the children do not have food to eat, it is a big deal, I don't know what you can do." After hearing Zuo Funiu Jinxing's words, Li Zicheng nodded and said yes, Li Zicheng is very trusting of this earliest and always by his side.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, the generalissimo has already thought of this, don't hide it from the generalissimo, Xiao'er Delu, a few days ago, there was news that he had found enough food in Yulin City, not only that, but also got hundreds of loads of refined salt, if nothing else, it will be able to be transported back smoothly in ten days, but there is one more thing to ask the generalissimo to forgive, that is, the price of grain this time is a little high." Niu Jinxing suddenly said with a smile.

"Oh, good, great, Xiucai is still you." As soon as Niu Jinxing said this, everyone present couldn't help but be excited.

You know, they used to be rogues, they didn't have the idea of logistics at all, they all ate wherever they went, there was no food, just attack a county town, but now it's different, they have changed from rogues to the army, and the cities they attacked are also their own territory, at this time, food logistics has become their disadvantage, not to mention anything else, just say that this attack on Xi'an, only a few months later, their original storage of grain has been exhausted, if there is no food, Maybe in a few days, they will have to withdraw their troops.

Not only were others happy, but even Li Zicheng was smiling, and the one-eyed was shining, and he couldn't help but say, "Okay, good, worthy of my Zhuge Liang, even this point has been thought of, and when Xi'an is defeated, I will definitely reward you well, in addition, this time Delu did a good job, when he comes back, you must praise him well, as for the money to buy food, the high point is the high point, as long as there is food, anyway, we copied so much gold and silver from the house of King Fu and King Xiang, and I can't use it anywhere, It's better to change it to food. ”

"Thank you for the Generalissimo's understanding." Niu Jinxing, who bowed down, had a smug smile on his face

'Da Da Da Da', accompanied by the crisp sound of horses' hooves, Shi Lei rode a horse, slowly from outside the city to the county office, although the body was tired for a day, on the horseback was about to be upside down, Shi Lei's spirit was still very excited, watching those recruits gradually mature, watching the city wall of Yulin getting stronger and stronger, Shi Lei's belief was getting stronger and stronger.

Just when Shi Lei was still thinking about what to do next, he suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the wind quickly, and immediately, he heard a voice shouting in his ear, "My lord, be careful." ”

But before he could understand it, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he found that a wolf tooth feather arrow was inserted in his chest, but this was only Shi Lei's subconscious action, and soon saw that his body shook and fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the four people who followed him were immediately furious, and quickly came to him to check his situation, while the other people quickly ran towards the direction where the sharp arrow was fired.

At the moment when Shi Lei fell to the ground with an arrow, a figure sneered, and quickly went in one direction, and the figure disappeared in the dark night for a moment.

"My lord, the plan has been successful, the target has been hit, if nothing else, it should not survive tonight."

It was the black shadow that disappeared at the place where Shi Lei was stabbed just now, and the object of his return was none other than Pan Wuxing, the commander of the Yulin Guard.

Pan Wuxing, who was wiping a long knife with a linen cloth, nodded and said after hearing the words of the black shadow, "Okay, yes, among so many people, only Pan Hua is the most reassuring to me, so the things handed over to you can be completed very well, you can rest assured, I will not forget these things you do, and when I successfully catch the line of Niu Gongzi, I will definitely give you an explanation at that time." ”

"The adults have tormented the little ones, if the adults hadn't saved the little one's life, the little one's life would have been lost on the battlefield, and now, if you can do something for the adult, how dare the little one ask for anything else?" Black Shadow Pan Hua said.

"Hey, how are you always careful, forget it, don't talk about it, that kid was hit by an arrow, did you see it with your own eyes?" Pan Wuxing said.

"Yes, my lord, the little one saw with his own eyes that the person was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, and the arrow was coated with poison that sealed the throat with blood, even if he was a god, this time he would return to the west." Pan Hua said.

"Okay, good, that's good, get rid of such a confidant, we can let go of our hands and feet to do things, although this kid is young, but I can't see through him, with him, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart, besides, Niu Gongzi also said, to get rid of him, so it's just right, now it's completely solved, his death, those tough Mongols under him will definitely be in chaos, I just can take them down, in this way, our strength will be stronger, with strength, no matter who is in power in the future, I am indispensable for one of my official positions. Pan Wuxing changed his reckless and vulgar appearance in the past, and said with a gleam in his eyes.

The news of Shi Lei's attack and injury spread at a rapid speed, and not long after he was carried to the county office, Fang Junchi, Chitu outside the city, and Jia Hanqing and others in the city quickly rushed to the county office.

"Say, tell me what is going on, why the adults are being attacked, what are you doing to eat, why this is happening, say!" After the anxious Fang Jun galloped to the county office, as soon as he got off the horse, he grabbed the collar of one of the old brothers who protected Shi Lei and said.

The old brother, who had already been at a loss for a long time, was forced to ask by Fang Junchi like this, and he suddenly couldn't even speak, let alone explain anything.

"Okay Junchi, let him go, let's see how the adults are doing now, and it's not too late to talk about the rest later." Jia Hanqing is still old, although he is also very anxious in his heart, but he can still maintain a calm statement on the surface.

When they came to the outside of Shi Lei's bedroom, they saw that there were already three steps and one person here, and the five steps and one post were closely protected, and it was the iron bear who was guarding outside the door.

Seeing Tie Xiong, Jia Hanqing hurriedly said, "Tie Xiong, what is the matter, what did the doctor say." ”

Tie Xiong heard the question, his mouth opened, and finally said, "A sharp arrow passed through the chest, and the adult was unconscious at that time, I heard the doctor just now say that the injury is nothing, but the arrow is coated with poison that seals the throat with blood, and now the doctor is thinking of a way, and I don't know what happened." ”
