Although he rushed out before Qian Biao was arranged, he didn't want the soldiers sent by Qian Biao to prepare for firearms this time, and Feng Qianhu was caught off guard by the Fire Crow, was seriously injured, and passed out. Now he is in the subordinates of the last general, so he can't come over to see His Royal Highness King Qin! As Xu Zaisi spoke, a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Although he chose to take refuge in Li Cunhuan in the end, Li Cunhuan and Xu Juan used him and Xu Juan as bait, which was still very unpleasant. And his follow-up is more because there is no other choice for Xu Zaisi at this moment. Because at this time, except for Li Cunhuan, it is impossible for him to survive whether he works alone or takes refuge in Qian Biao. Otherwise, it is not impossible for Xu Zaisi to say that he must not betray the Lord again.

Li Cunhuan didn't care about this, nodded, and said, "I've worked hard for you, go down and have a good rest!" If you have an injury on your leg, don't hold on to it, it's easy to fall into the root of the disease. Zhu Jilong, you take the king's imperial doctor to treat General Xu's injuries, well, just show Feng Baodu, don't have any problems! ”

"Uh......" Xu Zaisi was obviously stunned for a moment, his heart was a little moved, and he hugged his fist at Li Cunhuan and said, "Thank you...... Your Highness! ”

"Nope! You deserve it, because the king has failed your hopes. But you can rest assured, Zhejiang West Festival envoy, who should be the flower, this king still remembers in his heart! You go down to recuperate, this king doesn't want to be a lame envoy in the west of Zhejiang, although this king can still accept it in the end, but I don't like it very much! Li Cunhuan said with a smile.

When Xu Zaisi heard this, his eyes turned red, and his lips were tightly pursed, Xu Zaisi didn't want to thank him. It's that he is afraid that as soon as his voice comes out, he can't help but cry. The reason why Xu Zaisi had the ability to make envoys to the western part of Zhejiang was because he had the five thousand warriors who were brave and good at fighting as the foundation. But what does Xu Zaisi have now?

was used as a bait by Li Cunhuan, Wu Yongdu, the dead dead, the wounded, the surrendered, the prisoners, followed by Xu Zaisi, there were only more than 400 left, and it is estimated that Xu Juan also has three or four hundred people. There are also those who have fought their way out of the encirclement, perhaps 2,000 if they are lucky, and 12,300 if they are unlucky. But these people are useless, because they were all killed and scattered, and broke through on a small scale. Lu Longjun can be absorbed calmly.

In other words, Xu Zaisi estimated that the soldiers and horses on hand were not enough for two battalions (eight hundred), and Xu Juan was not Xu Zaisi in the end, although he said that he had a fateful friendship, he still had a good hope of pulling Li Cunhuan over. In this case, according to Xu Zaisi's expectations, it is estimated that after the war, Li Cunhuan would be better off to give himself a Zhongzhou or Xiazhou himself, as a soldier and a horse. What's worse is to let yourself go to a county to be a town general.

This is because I have no credit and hard work this time. After all, no matter how bad a county is, a town general has seven or eight hundred people under his command. If it is big, like Liu Rengong, there were 3,000 soldiers and horses in Shouyang at the beginning, but it is relatively rare. Under normal circumstances, Xu Zaisi doesn't even have the qualifications to be a town general, he only has more than 400 remnants in his hands, and many people are injured, if he is unlucky, it is not impossible to have less than 300 people under his command.

For a black-hearted one, it is not surprising that even Xu Zaisi's current soldiers and horses have been swallowed, where is there anything to exchange for the original promise. The exchange of promises is based on sufficient strength.

"Your Highness seems to be too kind!" Looking at Xu Zaisi's back, which had been far away, Du Ling pondered it and said cautiously. In fact, what Du Ling wanted to say was that Li Cunhuan was too stupid, of course, Du Ling didn't dare to say this sentence, so he could only change it to a more tactful word, kind.

Li Cunhuan smiled noncommittally, his voice was full of confidence, and said, "You think this king is too stupid, right?" ”

"The last general will not dare!" When Du Ling heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly explained. I thought to myself, and said behind my back, there is no problem, and Li Cunhuan knows about it, which is a big problem.

"I don't dare, it's not that I didn't think about it!" Li Cunhuan turned his head sideways, looked at Du Ling and said with a smile. The voice is full of ridicule,

When Du Ling heard this, he couldn't help but panic, don't look at him smiling, he can't say that he will turn his face to you in the next moment, and it is normal to ask someone to drag you out and kill you. What's more important is that Du Ling has just followed Li Cunhuan, and he can't figure out Li Cunhuan's surname, even if Li Cunhuan is moody, Du Ling will not feel strange. Hurriedly ready to explain.

Li Cunhuan had already waved his hand and said, "You don't have to explain, this king understands." But this king did this because of the king's deep meaning! ”

"Yes!" Du Ling became cautious and spoke a lot, and his words were like gold.

"You don't want to hear it?" Li Cunhuan asked with a smile.

"The last general...... Well, Your Highness is wise! Du Ling didn't dare to say that he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to say that he didn't want to, so he only said something that the bull's head was not right for the horse's mouth, and he wanted to fool the past.

Li Cunhuan laughed and said: "It's not good to be too cautious, Du Ling, you have to have the arrogance when you first met this king!" This is one of the reasons why you attracted this king and asked him to persuade him to surrender himself! ”

Du Ling smiled when he heard this, not knowing what to say.

After Li Cunhuan finished laughing, he lowered his head, looked at the reins in his hand, slowly stroked the texture on the reins with his thumb, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Zaisi is a capable person!" ”

Du Ling looked for an opportunity, and was no longer as cautious as before, nodded and said: "Indeed, Xu Zaisi followed Qin Zongquan to conquer the Central Plains, and then followed Sun Ru from the Central Plains to the south to Jianghuai, and then fought against Yang Xingmi in the north for Qian Biao, and Dong Chang in the south. If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have already become a pile of dry bones on the side of the road, even if he was lucky, he was just a big soldier. Where can become a soldier and horse envoy position. In addition, following Gu Quanwu's expedition to the south and the north, how can I also learn a few skills. Speaking of this, Du Ling sighed faintly and said, "It's a pity Gu Quanwu!" I went at a young age! ”

Li Cunhuan nodded noncommittally, but said in his heart: If this is not the case, I am afraid that my war in Wuyue will not go so smoothly, it is a pity that Gu Quanwu died, but if he does not die, it is my headache. However, Li Cunhuan did not dwell on this issue too much. "Xu Zaisi is a capable person, but not a moral person. Qian Biao treated him badly, and he rebelled. Of course, there is an element of unkindness and injustice, but in western Zhejiang, this reputation is not very good. ”

Speaking of this, Li Cunhuan paused, glanced at Du Ling meaningfully, and continued: "So such a person, in addition to being attached to this king, who else can he rely on? Not to mention that Yang Xingmi was about to be destroyed by this king, even if Yang Xingmi is still there, plus Wang Zhenzhi of Fujian and Zhong Chuan of Jiangxi, who is willing to accept Xu Zaisi? It must be known that Xu Zaisi now has only more than 400 soldiers and horses! ”

"Your Highness...... Wise! Du Ling was dumbfounded when he heard this, and originally wanted to say that His Highness was scheming, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, so he changed to wisdom. Anyone will have scheming, but as a monarch, on the bright side, he naturally has to be above board. But I was a little more afraid of Li Cunhuan in my heart. A person can grasp people's hearts so meticulously in a short period of time, and Du Ling has seen it for the first time.

When Li Cunhuan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a touch of triumph. It is not difficult to appoint a person who is loyal to him, and there is no shortage of Li Cunhuan. Tie Ying, whose command has expanded to 2,000 people, is the one who has been brainwashed and loyal to Li Cunhuan, and regards Li Cunhuan as the only person who calms down this troubled world and returns the people of the world to live and work in peace and contentment.

However, it is not enough to be faithful, but also to be able. Otherwise, how to deter the land that has just been conquered, and Xu Zaisi is currently the best candidate. For one thing, he couldn't help but attach himself to himself and give him so much power. The heart of the flesh is made, even if Xu Zaisi is ruthless, he will be loyal to himself in four or five years. Four or five years is enough. Third, Xu Zaisi is familiar with the land of Wuyue, and the locals also know his prestige and have seen his fierceness.

Thinking of this, Li Cunhuan looked up at the moon that was almost round, but still crossed, making him seem to see the current world, although the general trend of the world has appeared, it is still incomplete, which makes Li Cunhuan more and more irritable. War, boundless war, how many people have to die to fill this damn division.

"Your Highness, you've come to Phoenix Mountain!" Du Ling stretched out his hand to strangle the reins of the angry lion under Li Cunhuan's crotch, if Li Cunhuan went further, I am afraid that it would be dangerous. Although two hundred steps is very safe for a stumbling crossbow with a range of only one hundred and fifty steps. Although the bed crossbow has a long range, the accurate surname is helpless. However, it is hard to guarantee that no marksman will notice Li Cunhuan, for a sharpshooter who can use a five-stone hard bow for a short time, two hundred steps can still shoot through a layer of armor with one arrow.

(One step in the Tang Dynasty is about one and a half meters, which is obtained by Tang Taizong's left and right legs.) ）

"It's already there!" Li Cunhuan will look at the sight of the moon and cast a wall that shakes heaven and earth with a shout of killing. Phoenix Mountain has the unique characteristics of Jiangnan peaks, which are not high, and the terrain is relatively gentle. However, I don't know if it is man-made or natural, the foot of the mountain is rocky, and soldiers can't walk in it at all. There were only two roads to the east and north, and the two roads were wide and not far apart, and they were only enough for about 400 men to attack. No matter how much it is, it is not impossible, but it is obvious that the enemy in the city will be more likely to shoot the soldiers of the Lu Long Army, and the soldiers' attack will only be strengthened by a few points. The pay and gain are very unbalanced, no matter how anxious Li Cunhuan is, he will not increase the number of soldiers so stupidly.

However, Qian Biao was no better than Lu Longjun under Li Cunhuan, and Qian Biao and Cheng He couldn't imagine that Li Cunhuan would attack the city overnight. According to the speculation that Du Ling was familiar with, Du Ling would definitely let Li Cunhuan rest for at least a day before attacking the inner city, because Du Ling understood the danger of Phoenix Mountain. And Du Ling's opinion has a great influence on Li Cunhuan. The most obvious capture of Jiaxing and the rebellion against Xu Zaisi must be the result of Du Ling's advice and advice from Du Ling, who is familiar with the internal situation.

However, they obviously underestimated Li Cunhuan, and Li Cunhuan keenly captured this hazy fighter. Although it is possible that because of Qian Di's strict vigilance, Lu Longjun hit his head and bled under the walls of the inner city, but he was helpless. But Li Cunhuan was right, and his unpreparedness caught the Wu Yue army in the inner city off guard. Although the current city wall has not been taken down, it has been in chaos, and Lu Longjun's army once attacked the city wall.

However, the inner city is worthy of being Qian Biao's last lair, and the generals in the city are all Qian Biao's henchmen. Once the soldiers of the Lu Long Army attacked the city wall, they would kill them in person without fear of death. The generals took the lead, and the soldiers below went without saying, and everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy. Although Lu Longjun climbed the city wall several times, he was finally driven down. Yuan Xingqin could only indifferently continue to invest in the soldiers, so that Lu Longjun and Wu Yuejun formed a gelatinous shape. Countless corpses fell from the walls, as if trying to fill the trenches beneath the walls.

The arrows shot down from the city wall like flying locusts, but Lu Longjun was not to be outdone, and the ballista fought back powerfully. Unlike trebuchets, ballistas shoot stone projectiles one after another, and within 200 paces, ballistas can accurately shoot a stone projectile at a target up to three meters in diameter. It is the most powerful to deal with corner towers and battlements.

As soon as the stone bullet hits the battlement, the battlement will be shattered, and the stone projectile that has been shattered will be fired in all directions, like a grenade. The crossbowmen who hid behind the battlements suffered either death or injury. And if it hits the corner tower, after seven or eight bullets in a row, the corner tower will also collapse, and the crossbowmen on the corner tower will not be the result. If you are lucky, you will just fall inside and outside the city walls. If it falls on the walkway of the city wall, it will be a tragedy, and if there are no casualties of twenty or thirty people, God will feel that he has no face. These ten ballistae were dismantled from the battleship, but Wu Yuejun suffered enough, and this was because the light was not very good at night, otherwise I am afraid that more crossbowmen would have died.

Of course, this also has the relationship that the crossbowmen at the head of the city are often in a dense state, not that Qian Biao is stupid, and after being hit, he doesn't know the sparse queue. There were only ten ballistas, and only one stone projectile was fired every thirty breaths. Moreover, the hit rate is only the best, and the casualties caused naturally are large. But if you don't send more crossbows to the walls, then it's not a matter of the number of casualties, but of how likely the walls will be captured by the enemy. So Qian Biao gritted his teeth and fought with Lu Longjun.

"Verdun!" Li Cunhuan involuntarily spit out this word.

"Van and Ding?" When Du Ling on the side heard this, he couldn't help but repeat what Li Cunhuan said in confusion, of course, because of the words full of Western flavor, Du Ling read it not standardly. This strange word made Du Ling very strange, looked at Li Cunhuan suspiciously, and asked, "What did Your Highness mean by what he said just now?" ”

Verdun probably hasn't existed yet, let alone the First World War, which made it famous as a "meat grinder", "slaughterhouse" and "hell", not yet broke out. Du Ling naturally didn't know what Li Cunhuan meant.

"Uh...... Nothing! Just remembering the words of the soldier saint! Li Cunhuan's eyes were a little melancholy, but Li Cunhuan was not a sentimental person, and soon, his eyes became very cold.

"The first army to fight, the second to attack, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city, is a last resort." Du Ling slowly spit out a piece of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
