Pear Blossom Chapter 109: Cession of the Border City
Border City (Imperial City, Mo Qi was in a coma on the third day)
After returning from Zhao Jun's camp, Qingfeng was still thinking about the strange part, Zhao Jun's performance was too obvious, but he still couldn't figure out the truth of this.
And the legendary Dead Man's Ridge, the morning sun has not yet risen, the miasma in the forest has yet to dissipate, the Zhao army that has been silent in the ridge for many days has begun to prepare for departure, as the forward There are about 3,000 people, dressed in dark civilian clothes, and their faces are also specially dressed, almost the same color as the trunk in the ridge, they have already explored the way ahead, they are each cautious, holding a crescent moon sword, which is more conducive to their close combat, and when they cross the Dead Man's Ridge, they can go directly to the inside of the border city......
It was still late at night, the main station of the Zhao army, 20,000 infantry troops, 5,000 cavalry on both wings, a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers of the Chinese army marched neatly and advanced in the direction of the border city like a black cloud pressing down on the city, and everyone seemed to be high-spirited, and the black military uniform looked solemn and heavy......
Suddenly, there was a loud and urgent horn, and then the war drums of the soldiers defending the city had sounded eagerly, Qingfeng sat up in shock, and a hurried knock on the door sounded, Mo Kai said outside: "The shadow of the Zhao army was found ahead, about 30,000 horses, and it was still ten kilometers away from the border city. ”
"They're going to be so many days in advance!" Qingfeng put on his coat, got up to open the door, and walked quickly to the council hall, "Notify the soldiers immediately to be on alert, they still have some time to come, let the soldiers hurry up and prepare, don't panic!" ”
"Yes!" Mo Kai immediately ordered to go down, and the two walked briskly, "Fortunately, we have been prepared for a long time, when will they come, and when will we kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”
The Mo family army in the border city was holding a broad-bodied long sword, as if waiting for the arrival of the other party.
Suddenly, Zhao Junjun's drums and horns sounded, and the banners were hunting and waving in the wind, and they were moving much faster than they imagined.
Qingfeng, Mo Kai and others were already standing in the city tower, waiting for their arrival; Under the city wall, Zhao Huaijin and Zhao Huaiyu were two brothers, one man and one horse, and 30,000 horses and horses behind them stood neatly outside the city.
Qingfeng looked at the cavalry on both sides, and then at the soldiers of the Chinese army, Mo Kai said on the side: "Will these two brothers lead the troops, how can the cavalry play a role in such a place, if it is really a battle, I am afraid that it will only step on each other." ”
Qingfeng saw it in his eyes and did not answer.
"General Ji Dan is such a smart person, I advise the general to give up the border city as soon as possible, lest your death be too ugly, lose your prestige, and dare not have anyone collect your body for you!" Zhao Huaijin shook the folding fan, calm and calm, and the exit was so vicious.
Between the words, Mo Kai pulled up his bow and arrow and shot directly at Zhao Huaijin, Zhao Huaijin hurriedly bent down to dodge, so frightened that the horse screamed, and Zhao Huaijin almost fell off the horse. Fortunately, Huaiyu was on the side, and he quickly drew his long sword, split Mo Kai's arrow in half, and blocked it.
Seeing that Zhao Huaijin was so embarrassed, Qingfeng only smiled slightly, and Mo Kai laughed.
"A scholar, a blind man, still wants to lead soldiers to fight, and he is not afraid of flashing his waist, and he can't serve his mother-in-law when he goes home!" Mo Kai shouted loudly, wanting to frustrate the other party's spirit, causing the surrounding soldiers to laugh.
"General Mo is good at archery, but it's a pity that he has a head and no brain." Zhao Huaijin was not angry, straightened his body, and continued: "I don't have the same knowledge as General Mo, I only ask General Ji Dan if he is reluctant to give up this city?" ”
Mo Kai saw that he was so arrogant and didn't take him seriously at all, so he shot another arrow at the banner of Zhao Jun, and Zhao Huaiyu jumped up from his horse to easily block the arrow shot by Mo Kai.
"Dead blind!" Mo Kai pulled his fist into his fist and scolded.
Qingfeng glanced at Mo Kai, Mo Kai didn't dare to say more, just glared at Zhao Huaiyu a few times, and said, "Just wait for the general's order." ”
"Let's hear what he has to say." Qingfeng said softly, and Mo Kai shouted loudly again: "My master has time to accompany you, if you have any farts to finish quickly, you can have a good fight." ”
Zhao Huaijin didn't look at Mo Kai at all, and only said to Qingfeng: "Coincidentally, Zhao also has time, but the battle between these two armies is bound to suffer countless casualties, General Ji Dan has always been benevolent to the people, and he will not see so many people lose their lives in vain as a last resort; Although this side of the city is difficult to attack, although the first few times failed, but the difficulty of attacking does not mean that it cannot be attacked, and now you are outnumbered, the situation is very different, and you can't see that the border city must be easy to defend...... Of course, I just said these casually, and naturally I couldn't convince the general; But instead of guarding here, the general should think about whether the wall in his backyard is strong? Don't be exhausted, and still think about the food in the sky. ”
Qingfeng blinked his eyes lightly, but with a smile in his eyes, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he had disdain, and raised his hand and waved down.
Seeing this, Mo Kai immediately gave an order, and the soldiers on the city wall had already started the trebuchet and threw it out, and at the same time, the archers also fired several arrows in succession, rushing towards the Zhao army like rain.
Zhao Huaijin was not panicked, waved the military flag, and gave the order of "arranging the formation", and the Zhao army also began to defend.
At the same time, the sound of the bull's horn shook the valley, the cavalry on both wings roared to meet it, the arrows flew wildly in the air, and the rain of arrows swept the clear sky like wild sand, and I saw that soldiers were constantly falling to the ground with arrows.
It was extremely difficult for Zhao Jun to take a step forward.
"Change formation!" Zhao Huaijin gave another order, only to see that the Zhao army immediately changed its formation, and several people formed a group to besiege the city with shields, hiding on both sides of the cavalry, and using the war horse as a barrier, moving forward quickly
Those cavalry actually lived like human targets, and they fell one after another under the fierce attack of the rain of arrows, and the low howl and the smoke and dust filled the scene made the scene look extremely tragic.
A small number of Zhao troops broke through the rain of arrows and stones and fire attacks and came to the city wall, but before they could climb the city wall, they were met by the Mo family army and cut down with a knife.
The battle continues......
The loud screams and screams were particularly exciting, and the Zhao army under the city seemed to be brave and fearless, and let out an earth-shattering shout. This kind of shouting is fierce and encouraging to each other, and there is a great momentum that the border city will not be broken and will never be returned.
The whole valley was filled with this roar......
Qingfeng didn't expect the other party to have such a formation, but the Mo family army was not a vegetarian, and the soldiers on the city wall fell in one row, and the other row could make up for it.
The remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow of the setting sun poured on the tower, and the breeze stood on the tower, watching the terrible screams, the crazy killing, the blood mist flying all over the sky, and the wails flowed everywhere.
The two brothers Zhao Huaijin are obviously not much better, this battle of the border city is a difficult battle, the two armies are in a stalemate, and suddenly a trace of fireworks flashed in the sky in the direction of the Dead Man's Ridge.
Zhao Huaijin's smile became clearer, he knew that there were already people in the city, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through the border city, anyway, Ji Dan Qingfeng would lose, but he still wanted to give Ji Dan Qingfeng a choice question.
At this time, Qingfeng also suddenly received a letter, after reading the content of the book, he frowned unconsciously, and then looked at Zhao Huaijin under the city, the two seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they stopped the war between the two sides.
"Presumably, the general already knew the outcome, and the general had two options, one was to continue fighting, but I didn't dare to guarantee the lives of the people in the city at that time; Another is that the general took the initiative to surrender and went back to tell the king that the border city and the last five cities were gifts from General Ji Dan to the king of Zhao, and the people of several cities could continue to live their original lives. How, the choice is yours! ”
"Pick your mother's shit!" Mo Kai shouted, picked up the arrow behind his back again, but was stopped by Qingfeng.
"General!" Mo Kai screamed, but he didn't understand what he meant, and he was angry and indignant in his heart.
"What? Hasn't General Ji Dan's rescue arrived yet? If the general doesn't choose, he will have to bear the consequences! Zhao Huaijin swore that Zhao Jun's surprise and sudden letter made this battle instantly turn from an advantage to a disadvantage.
"We withdraw!" Qingfeng said lightly, his face expressionless, no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart; Under the city wall, Zhao Huaijin and Zhao Huaiyu are two brothers with one person and one horse, and they have the chance to win.
"General!" Mo Kai and the soldiers around him shouted, and no one understood why.
"This city is in my hands, and I have never missed it. Let's keep fighting, what does the general mean! Mo Kai was obviously a little dissatisfied with this very admired general.
"It's still the general's reasoning!" Zhao Huaijin saw that there was a dispute on the city wall, and he became more confident, and took out the prepared deed of ceding the city from his sleeve, and let Huaiyu shoot it with his sword. "But I want that kid to stay, rest assured that I won't treat him badly." Zhao Huaijin pointed at Mo Kai and said, with a taste of victory.
Zhao Huaiyu whispered something in his ear again, and Zhao Huaijin smiled again: "If the general is willing to cut his love, the entourage next to him will stay with him." It's rare for my brother to like it! ”
Qingfeng glanced at Lu Yi, who had just delivered the letter, and instructed, "Be careful around them!" Lu Yi nodded, and didn't seem surprised.
Although Mo Kai didn't understand, with a trace of anger in his heart, he had no choice but to obey the military order. He looked down again and cursed, "Dead blind! How could he see the Green Maiden? If you want my life with the surname Zhao, what do you do to embarrass the green girl? The general can bear this? Mo Kai muttered in his mouth, and the fire in his stomach could not come out.
"Lu Yi only listens to the general's arrangement, and besides, Zhao Gongzi is a famous gentleman, how can he embarrass me?" Lu Yi looked at Mo Kai and said a word, leaving Mo Kai speechless.
Ji Dan Qingfeng ordered the city gate to be opened, and Zhao Huaijin quickly completed the gift ceremony.
"In this way, thank you to the general, and ask the general to go back and inform the king of Li, King Zhao is also willing to share such good news with the king of Li."
Qingfeng didn't answer, but privately asked people to report to Mocheng, on the one hand, he hurried back to Mocheng with Qianlu and Jiawei.

Mocheng (the second day of the loss of the border city, the fifth day of Mo Qi's coma)
After Mo Qi was in a coma for five days, she finally woke up, at this time she was already in the Mocheng Palace, only to open her eyes and see Mo Li napping at her bedside, Mo Qi accidentally touched his arm, Mo Li woke up.
"Lord Wang......" Mo Qi called out in a daze.
Before Mo Li could be happy, he saw Qian Ling knocking on the door, and Mo Li walked out, so he let out a burst of anger. "What kind of thing is his breeze, six cities let him give up, what about him now? Come to me with his head! ”
"I should be in Mexico City tomorrow."
"The sound spirit hasn't been found yet, do you want to continue looking for it?" Qian Ling's voice was very soft, but Mo Qi could still hear it in the room. "Lord Wang, Han Yuan led people to attack Yangcheng......
"Let's talk about it when Qingfeng comes back." Mo Li interrupted Qian Ling's words.
