"The one guarding this Hengniu Pass should be a small country called the Leader State, or the soldiers and generals of the Song State, in short, they don't belong to the soldiers of the Lie Country now."

Chen Tang's eyes flashed: "Mr. Lu, I remember hearing you say before, you have a strategy to break the city?" ”

"That's right, these small countries are vassals of the Lieguo, but they are also unwilling, not to mention that they are still forced to help the Lieguo defend the city by force? There is no need to attack this city, I have my own plan to let them retreat directly. ”

"What does the gentleman need?"

"It's simple, pen and paper, I need to write letters."

Chen Tang looked up at the rest of the soldiers, only to see that those soldiers were all looking at each other.

Who would bring such a thing during a surprise attack?

"Find some people, go to the nearby villages, and ask them to find some paper and pens, especially paper, and more of them."

"Yes."

It didn't take long for the paper and pen to come, and Lu Zhonglian began to write with a pen.

"When it is written, let them take an excerpt, and then make an envelope of paper, and send arrows into the city at night."

Chen Tang looked at it, said okay one after another, and asked the soldiers to start transcribing.

There are not many soldiers who know how to read in the army, but there are still them, and under the transcription of many people, the efficiency is okay, but in a short time, more than 100 letters have been produced.

The guards in Hengniu Pass, indeed, as Lu Zhonglian said, are not soldiers of the Lieguo Kingdom, but a military general who leads the country, and there are not many soldiers guarding Hengniu Pass, about 3,000 people.

However, the terrain of Hengniu Pass is dangerous, and more than 3,000 people are enough to guard this pass.

In the evening, General May, as usual, began to patrol, which cheered up many soldiers.

"Be careful, you must be vigilant when standing guard."

"General Mei, this place is all Hengniu Pass, and no one will attack us here."

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case."

A lieutenant who followed next to him sighed: "General Mei, we are leading the country, but now we are guarding the territory for Lieguo, is this appropriate?" ”

General Mei frowned: "Whether it is appropriate or not, it is not something we can discuss, we are just acting on orders, and we need to obey this order from the monarch." ”

"Yes."

The lieutenant was a little helpless, and General Mei continued to patrol, but there was also an imperceptible sigh on his face.

At this moment, there was a sound of breaking the air, and with a whoosh, an arrow slammed into the nearby city wall.

"Who?!"

The lieutenant beside General Mei suddenly shouted, and all the soldiers in the city were all vigilant, and some people shouted: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

A group of personal soldiers surrounded General Mei's legion, and General Mei looked vigilantly at the side facing the mountain, only to see that it was pitch black.

"Everybody's on alert."

Whoosh!

The sound of breaking the air was heard again, but these arrows were all heading for the city wall.

At this moment, a soldier next to him said, "General Mei, there seems to be a letter on this arrow." ”

A letter?

"General Mei, there are letters on these arrows."

"Fetch it and I'll see it."

A soldier took the letter and handed it to General May, who read it carefully.

At this glance, he frowned.

"General, we are the soldiers of the new country in the south of the Lieguo, and we were ordered to come to attack the imperial capital of the Lieguo Kingdom, facing the town of Hengniu Pass, if it is a strong attack, we will both suffer heavy casualties on both you and me, and I heard that the general is leading the soldiers of the country, not the generals of the Lieguo country, so I hesitated again and again, holding the risk of exposure, I have to write this letter to the general.

General, at present, on the plains and counties, the beacon smoke is everywhere, I heard that the Lieguo was known for its brutality, and the surrounding countries are all wantonly attacked, annexed and expanded by force, every time the army is attacked, the rest of the countries must be rivers of blood, and the people are crying bitterly, presumably the same is true for the country, if you do not surrender, you will have to face the oppression of the Lieguo, raise the strength of the whole country, make the Lieguo happy, and consume the treasury of the country, just to survive around the Lieguo, where is the dignity of a country?

The martyrdom is brutal and ruthless, not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and my new country, Your Majesty, benevolent government and love the people, the territory of the new country, a prosperity, more importantly, my new country, follow the way of the saints, love the people, treat the surrounding small countries, but also act in the style of a big country, do not force tribute, prefer to adopt commercial trade, on the basis of peace between the two countries, common prosperity and prosperity.

It can be seen from this that the Lieguo is really a brutal lord, and my new kingdom is a rare king.

Therefore, my new country went north to fight for the martyrs, which was done in accordance with the way of heaven and was a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

General, since you are the general of the country, you do not throw your head and spill your blood for the country, but now you are guarding the land for the brutal and fierce country, which is not wise; The Lieguo forced the leader to be a minister, and as a courtier of the country, he did not protect the Son of Heaven, but obeyed the dispatch of the Lieguo, which was disloyal; Guarding Hengniuguan here, in case of death in the siege, no one knows about the death here, the wife and daughter of the family do not know, no one in the country erects a monument, exposing the corpse of the wilderness, this is not brave. General, in order to defend the city of the Martyrs, do you really want to be this unwise, disloyal and unbrave person?

Of course, I also know that generals are very difficult, but now that the new country is fighting and punishing the country, the choice of the general is very important. Now the Lieguo is facing the soldiers of my new country in the south, controlling more than 30,000 people, Wanguo in the west, the power of the whole country is persecuting the Lieguo, the Lieguo is in the plain county, it is already a lonely palm, and it is only a matter of time before it perishes, if the general can give way to this pass, let me enter the range of the Lieguo, and attack the imperial capital of the Lieguo, then the death of the Lieguo will be intensified, and then cooperate with the famous generals of my new country to go north, and the death of the Lieguo must be a matter of time.

General, if you stick to the Hengniu Pass, although you insist on the solar terms in your heart, you also think that you have obeyed the orders of the Son of Heaven, but you don't know that this is just a small section, because of the small section and bad things, my new country retreats, the Lie country will continue to wreak havoc, and the country will be miserable, this is what the general really wants to see with his own eyes?

Switching and abandoning the city, although it seems to be a shameful act, will make a lifetime of achievements because of a small shame, and become a lifelong name because of abandoning a small section.

In public and private, it is the best choice for the general to give up Hengniu Pass.

Please think twice, we will wait outside the city, and if the general is willing to surrender, he can throw torches from the city.

Xinguo Lu Zhonglian, respectfully. ”

This is the content of the whole letter, General May held the letter in his hand, standing there, his face changed wildly, cloudy, as if he was thinking.

Some soldiers not far away also took the envelope and looked at it, and the idea of returning home also appeared in the hearts of many soldiers.

"General, what this letter says is right, let's withdraw our troops later."

"That's right, General, for the sake of the Lieguo to come to this place where birds don't, and help them guard the country, I don't want to do it, I want to go back to the country."

"General, let them in, surprise attack the Lieguo, in case the Lieguo disappears, there will be no threat to the leading country."

The voices of those soldiers came and went, and General Mei looked up: "Don't make any noise." ”

The city was quiet, and General May was holding the envelope, still thinking.

"General, I also think this letter is reasonable, we are not from the Lieguo, there is no need to sacrifice our lives for the Lieguo, the new country and the Lieguo are fighting, it is good for us to lead the country."

The lieutenant also spoke.

General May didn't say anything, and stood there, standing at the head of the city, motionless.

His heart at the moment is really at war between heaven and man, and this letter has gone to his heart, but do you really want to give up Hengniu Pass and let those soldiers of the new country come in?

No matter which choice it is, it is a very risky choice, if you give up defending the city, the new country does not defeat the Lieguo, or this surprise attack fails, and the Lieguo will be investigated afterwards, and he and the entire lead country will bear the wrath of the Lieguo.

But if the truth is as stated in the letter, this is indeed the best chance to destroy the Lie Kingdom.

How to choose?

The head of the city seemed to be quiet, and the soldiers also looked at General Mei, and the torches at the head of the city were a little crooked under the wind.

After a long while, General May looked at all the soldiers around him.

"You and others, you all want me to give up the Hengniu Pass and let them in?"

"Yes, General."

The soldiers said in unison.

"In that case, then I'll wait for the switch and let them in."

There were cheers from the top of the city, and General May himself took a torch and threw it from the top of the city.

Chen Tang and Lu Zhonglian, who were not far away, looked at this scene and were immediately shocked.

"Sir, what a god!"

Chen Tang's words were full of excitement, oh my God, it doesn't cost a single soldier, it's just a letter, and it makes the other party willing to open the level, this letter is worth a thousand gold!

This is also Lu Zhonglian's skill, the arrow book retreats from the enemy.

Arrow Book Retreat: Active skill, when the ** team encounters a neutral ** team, and the neutral ** team is not in the territory of the country, you can use this active skill to directly make the army retreat or abandon the garrison city. This skill has a cooldown of one month.

Lu Zhonglian stroked his beard and smiled: "General, let's enter the city quickly, only by defeating the imperial capital of the Lieguo can it be regarded as a real success, and I can only play these roles, and in the end, the siege of the imperial capital of the Lieguo is useless." ”

"That's enough, thank you sir, if the surprise attack is successful, sir should take the first credit."

Soon, Chen Tang led all the soldiers and entered the Hengniu Pass, the checkpoint was opened, and General Mei also saw Chen Tang and others, and saw it with his fists.

"General Gaoyi, I'll wait to thank you, but there is still one thing to ask the general for help, please ask the general if he knows where there are horses, there is still some distance from Lie County, if you use horses, you can get there in half a day."

General Mei took out the map, pointed to a horse farm not far away, and said: "There is a horse farm here, there are a lot of horses, and there are 3,000 war horses in Hengniu Pass, which can also be used by you." ”

"Thank you, General."

Chen Tang immediately gave the order, selected 3,000 soldiers to turn over and get on the horses, and then went straight to the horse farm, ready to bring some horses back.

At the same time, let Lu Zhonglian stay here, and together with the rest of the soldiers, prepare some siege equipment, bring them over when the time comes, and then assemble them, so that it will be more convenient to siege the city.

The imperial capital of Lieguo, according to Chen Tang's speculation, there are absolutely not many soldiers, because the territory of Lieguo is too large, a large number of troops, almost all of them are placed on the border, and the combat effectiveness of the large battalion soldiers near Liexian has not yet taken shape.
