Linxi City was defended, and after Li Bing took over the command, he did not go directly to the city gate, but demolished the houses near the west of the city, put the girder on the grain cart, poured fire oil and directly pushed the road. Seeing that the disciples of Hexi had no way to attack, looking back and looking back, the ladder was long gone, and there was no ballista or cannon to rush the cannon, so he could only stare dryly.

It is better to fight fires with a salary, than to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle. This trick can be regarded as a comprehension by the disciples of Hexi.

Zhou Zhe also understood that when the soldiers should be fierce, they will be fierce, and when they should be clever, they will be clever.

The fire that ignited in Yongdao only made it impossible for the Heximen faction coalition army to continue the siege, but it still did not retreat, but when Li Bing asked the sergeants to stand at the head of the city and shouted: "Ordered to quell the rebellion, reinforcements are coming soon!", the coalition army had no heart to fight. Immediately, the head of the city erected shogi representing Zhou Zhe and Li Bing.

At this time, the embarrassment was written on the faces of the heads of the various sects in the city.

"Tianyu Pavilion has been withdrawn, let's go back to the camp to repair first!"

Don't say retreat, talk about trimming, language is always so full of wisdom. It's just that the war has reached this point, and people always have to save some face for those who are alive.

"Yes! Trim!"

At this moment, the heads of the families seemed to have participated in a competitive competition, and when they were tired, they went home to take a bath and eat.

Some of the leaders are unwilling, in the city gate, on the city wall, there are always some sects with more than half of the casualties, but they have no right to speak because of the great loss of strength. If you don't go, you can only wait for death, because not long after the main force retreated, it was almost evening, and the Kansai Sea and the hundreds of cavalry outside the city converged. Although he was only watching from afar, the Heximen faction coalition army had no chance.

The two sides are fighting. The casualty statistics made Zhou Zhe startled. Nearly 2,000 were killed and 1,000 were seriously wounded, which is equivalent to the heavy damage of these 10,000 forbidden troops.

Late at night, Zhou Zhe sat on the city gate building, surrounded by a group of guards, and in front of him was Xie Baolong's corpse.

Xie Baolong's stomach was rotten, and the aura poured into the wound shattered his internal organs, and he did not let go of the war knife until he died in battle.

Zhou Zhe was suddenly irritable for no reason, it was not the first time he had seen a dead person, nor was it the first time he had parted with his comrades. But at this moment, his heart seemed to be drained of his heart. The tower of the city gate was full of solemnity, and Li Bing and Zheng Tong did not like this atmosphere.

"If he still has any thoughts, help him. Zheng Tong became the first person to comfort Zhou Zhe.

Yes, Xie Baolong has thoughts, but he has never said it, he only knows that their home is in Hedong, and it is a bad disaster. Zhou Zhe suddenly came to life: "Who knows where Xie Baolong's family is in Hedong?"

"Hedong, Dongyang County. Teng Erhu spoke.

"Got it. The cremation of Xie Baolong, the ashes were first placed on the city gate building, and he was sent home in the coming day. Although Zhou Zhe's words seem to be arranged, but the killing machine makes people stand up, everyone knows how Xie Baolong joined the army, Zhou Zhe's words are undoubtedly saying that even if his brother is out of order and the person is gone, he must help him settle down. Everyone was extremely moved in their hearts, and they had no regrets in this life to be the commander.

Late at night, Wu Shudao and Chen Zui, who were in charge of settling the wounded soldiers, dragged their tired bodies and showed the injuries to Wang Rui and Duan Xiangsi.

"I'm afraid Ma Dabao's leg will be lame in the future! Although the others are injured, they are well rested. Duan Xiangsi used spiritual liquid and decoction to take medicine every day, which may take a longer time. Chen Zui helped Zhou Zhe change the medicine while reporting the situation.

Wu Shudao was silent, his body was still stained with the blood of the wounded soldiers, and he just sat in the corner. This scholarly head of the Heavenly Dao Sect seems to be much older than a year ago.

Zhou Zhe nodded at Chen Zui, and said with concern: "It's good to live! You can rest early! And the same is true of calligraphy." ”

Chen Zuidai frowned slightly, "You are their backbone, and you are still injured, and after a bumpy day, you should rest early." I don't know much, but there has to be a priority in everything. Li Bing is a general brought out by my father, and he said that if Linxi City can be defended, you must believe him. ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Zui still had such a side, Zhou Zhe smiled bitterly, "Listen to you, I'm about to become half a master." ”

Originally, Zhou Zhe had finished washing up and was ready to sleep, but Li Bing visited. Zhou Zhe reluctantly got up to see him.

Li Bing didn't ink after understanding Zhou Zhe's personality, and said his meaning directly: "It can be seen in the battle during the day that although the Hexi Sect has outstanding strength, it doesn't understand what it means to stand at all. There is no military discipline at all, Guanxi Sea has visited their camp, there is no defense, I am ready to let him take 2,000 cavalry, raid in the middle of the night, set fire, and leave with one blow. Let them come hungry tomorrow to storm the city. ”

The idea is a good idea, and the night raid does work, but it doesn't. It is said that attacking the heart is the first, and Zhou Zhe is not sure how far Huang Yin can dominate these Hexi sects, so he can only give Li Bing's suggestion: "Let Guanxi Hai lead troops out of the city." Ambush first, if the Hexi Sect escapes in the middle of the night, leave them alone. He didn't flee, but attacked at night. ”

Li Bing had a very high level of understanding, and instantly understood Zhou Zhe's intentions, and said with a smile: "I understand." ”

The two looked at each other, laughing without saying a word.

The people in Linxi City are not happy, and the Hexi Gate Sect coalition army outside Linxi City is even more unhappy. Many sects have lost core disciples, and even their heads, and many small sects are small families, and the grief of losing their loved ones makes the entire camp cry. Late at night, there was still a lot of bickering in the tent.

The failure of the siege during the day made everyone blame each other, pass the buck, and even attack. The Hexi sect, which was already uneven, highlighted his selfish and ruthless side at this moment. At this time, Huang Yin could only support his face with his arms all the time, close his eyes and recuperate, and wait until everyone was tired of arguing and didn't want to quarrel, so he asked him.

"Brother Huang Shi. Why should we retreat first during the day? Obviously, the city gate has been opened, and victory is close at hand. "The person who spoke was very young, with white linen on his head, and he was the new head of the sect who had just succeeded him. This question was supported by many people.

And Huang Yin, looking at him like an idiot, said impatiently: "Since you asked, I will tell you." When the city gate was opened, you gave up the good situation on the city wall, and all of them poured to the city gate, giving Linxi City the opportunity to concentrate on defense. I say that, are you satisfied?"

The young master's face was blue and red for a while when he said it, and his ignorant harsh question was particularly ridiculous at this time, so he could only sit down and say nothing.

"Without the cannon and the ladder, many of our brother sects have suffered heavy casualties, how can they attack the city? A middle-aged fat man flicked his sleeves and thought about breaking up.

There was no need for Huang Yin to answer this, Ding Bo directly refuted his opinion: "Go back to the mountain gate? Wait for Zhou Zhe to defeat us all? I will go down the river in the rootless river anyway, at least I can be a dragon crossing the river, what about you?" After speaking, he waved his fist at Huang Yin.

Everyone scolded in their hearts, sycophants.

But sycophants are sycophants, Ding Bo's words are not bad at all. The siege cannot be taken, and the retreat is not retreated, which is really a dilemma. One by one, the heads looked sad.

Huang Yin saw that the time was almost up, so he spoke: "Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and division is harmful to two." Our enmity with the forbidden army is settled, and the city is indeed unattackable, but Hexi is so big, as long as we clench our fists, no matter how strong he Zhou Zhe is, he is only a city in the west. Unless the imperial court dispatches the armies of Tianxing Pass and Longquan Pass to encircle and suppress it on a large scale, otherwise, how can I endure it?"

I had to look up to Huang Yin's excellence again, and he came up with guerrilla tactics from the countryside to encircle the city, but unfortunately, his subordinates were not soldiers of workers and peasants, but a group of sects that were already incompatible with each other and even more incompatible with each other.

Needless to say, as far as Ding Bo is concerned, it is better to go back to his lair and prepare to be a river thief if he fights with the forbidden army on land.

"I think it's feasible!" Many sect leaders agreed, full of spring breeze, but they didn't know what they were thinking about in their hearts.

Huang Yin could naturally see that Xiao Jiujiu of various sects could not have countermeasures, it was still an old routine, and said confidently: "I know that there are still many people who have scruples in their hearts, and the disciples of the younger and weaker families cannot be safe. My Tianyu Pavilion has another hiding place, so it is better for everyone to place their respective families and disciples who are not enough for the third order, which is safe and worry-free. Although the inner ghost has not been found, it has to be guarded against!"

And the second point, I'm also relieved. Of course, Huang Yin didn't say that, and many people also understood that they were hostages. But Huang Yinren has become a force, and they can't refuse on the surface.

"That's it. Unexpectedly, the first person to speak was Ding Bo, which surprised everyone. Ding Bo continued: "When you go out to do business, you still pay attention to mutual trust, not to mention the important matter of survival for you and me, how can it be child's play?"

"I agree!" Huang Yin's dog support still came out and gave a thumbs up, but the stares of the heads of the house made the dog hold not raise or put it.

"My wife went back to Hedong to visit relatives. All the disciples are here, and I'm afraid it will take some time. An old man who is over half a hundred years old is tempted in a hesitant tone.

Someone heard the sound, this is another plan, "The disciples who are not successful in my sect have also dispersed into the township, and I am afraid it will take some time to gather them." ”

There is one, there is a second, and the third, Huang Yin understands, the hearts of the people here have been scattered.

It didn't take long for someone to get up and say goodbye: "The auspicious time has come, I should give my disciples a ride, I am the master... As he spoke, he had tears on his face and a sad expression.

are all actors, and the next moment, the big tent has resigned, and they are busy with their own things.

Huang Yin slapped the tea cup on the table, and could no longer hide the anger in his heart: "A group of pigs, a group of rabble, sooner or later you will be eaten and wiped clean by Zhou Zhe." Wait!" Then he was relieved, he had done his best to do this. Moreover, if they don't come today, maybe after a while, they will come and ask for it themselves, he doesn't believe that Zhou Zhe has no means.

That night, the camp of the Hexi coalition army moved to various families. Some say that they went back to the sect to gather the disciples in the countryside, and some say that they found a good feng shui treasure for the disciples to go out of the funeral. In the end, everyone stopped hiding from each other, they went their own way, and they didn't know each other. Tianyu Pavilion also left at dawn, and Huang Yin took one last look at the distant Linxi City and the messy camp, and let out a long sigh.
