72. Fierce battle in the middle of the night

Han Chong's talent was completely brought into play in the land of Tongcheng. He organized all the young men he took in into the army, and did not practice any formations, but only trained archery and hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city. Once every ten days, all the young men are pulled out to test archery, and the seats are arranged according to the merits of archery. is a good Tongcheng garrison, and he was trained by him to be like a bandit who occupies the mountain.

However, the effect was immediate, Tongcheng neither obeyed the Chu State, nor flattered the Qin State, and did not pay attention to the small Daiguo. However, in the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, Tongcheng has always stood tall and has not been broken by the armies of any country.

Mo Yu lived in Tongcheng for five or six days, and Han Chong stayed with her all the time, saving even the daily drills. Mo Yu was injured on his forehead, and his arm was also cut twice, and the wounds were not deep in the chaos, after the medical officer saw it once, Han Chong did not allow him to come again, and personally changed the dressing and bandaged Mo Yu.

"It doesn't matter if you have these two places on your arm, you have to be careful about this on your face, otherwise you will be broken." Han Chong wrapped layer after layer of gauze around her head, almost wrapping her in a bun.

"Loosen up, General Han, I'm about to be strangled to death by you." The ink rumor was fiddled with by him, and seeing that he was about to use up a roll of gauze, he finally couldn't help but stop it.

"Oops, little ballad, you're finally talking." Han Chong danced with joy, and kicked over the copper basin on the ground without paying attention.

Mo Yu rolled his eyes, sure enough, it was still the dog, it must have been too dark that night, and he would feel that the flying general on the red war horse was very good.

"Xiaoyu, where have you been these past few months? How did you end up here? Han Chong took the porridge bowl and fed her.

"Why do you drink porridge?" Mo Yu glanced at the rice porridge with white flowers and tilted his head to the side.

Han Chong was stunned for a moment, don't people who are sick or recuperate drink porridge? Mo Yu shook his head: "I don't want to drink this thing that doesn't taste at all, I want to eat jerky." ”

Han Chong grinned: "That's it, no problem." "Tongcheng doesn't have much rice, but there is still some meat, and there are mountains and forests around, and he occasionally takes the new young man out hunting.

A whole pheasant was placed on the table, and Han Chong smiled and tore it into small pieces and put it in the ink bowl: "It's still roasted in the same way as when I was a child, wrapped in yellow mud and buried in the soil." ”

Mo Yu asked slowly while eating, "Why are you here?" Why did you become the flying general of Tongcheng again? ”

"Huh? Didn't I ask first? Alas, okay, I'll talk about it first......" Han Chong shook his head and sighed, meeting Mo Yu, he didn't know where to run with his usual wit.

Before Su Qian died of illness, Huang Qi found an excuse and sent Han Chong here. At that time, Han Chongzhi thought that he was calling himself to practice, and he didn't think much about it. Not long after taking over the Tongcheng garrison, Shouchun came with the news that Su Qian had died of illness and that Gongzi Yu had usurped the throne. Han Chong originally inquired in many ways and almost killed Shouchun, but who knew that what he was waiting for was the news that Huang Qi had exposed Su Tian's ten charges and worshiped the general.

Han Chong is a person with a straight intestine, and now when he talks about it, he is still so angry that he slaps the table. After thinking about it, he couldn't get angry, so he simply occupied Tongcheng by himself and was no longer under the orders of Chu.

Speaking of Huang Qi, he inevitably looked a little gloomy. Huang Qi treated him like a master and a father, and was originally the person he respected the most in his heart. Mo Yu listened to this story, and only when Han Chong asked, did he briefly talk about Su Tian's situation at that time. She counted the time and knew that Huang Qi's intention was not to support Han Chong, but to give Tongcheng to him as a foothold.

Because she overheard the last conversation between Huang Qi and Su Tian, she could understand Huang Qi's hard work, and she didn't say anything at this time, and waited until Han Chong finished talking before asking, "Then what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Han Chong looked at the door, and then whispered: "To be honest, with the skills of my brothers, it is no problem to guard Tongcheng for ten or eight years." But the problem at the moment is that Tongcheng doesn't have much food in stock. ”

This is a big problem, Mo Yu has seen how Su Tian "governs a big country like cooking a small fresh", but it is really her turn, and even a city has a lot of difficulties.

In the middle of speaking, a figure flashed at the door, poking his head into the room.

Han Chong grabbed the candlestick on the table casually and threw it to the door: "What are you doing sneakily?" ”

A face poked out from behind the door, and it seemed that one of the young men who followed Han Chong that night said with a little teasing: "Let's see if the eldest brother and sister-in-law have finished speaking, and there will be a military intelligence report after they finish speaking." These people are familiar with Han Chong's temper, and they don't dare to be sloppy in their work, but they usually speak very casually.

A little sister-in-law, the ink rumor is not much, but Han Chong is a little uncomfortable, as if his mind has been broken by someone, and he is a little annoyed and angry: "Feng Ding, if you can't say anything serious, I will give you a good meal." ”

The young man named Feng Ding restrained his playful expression and said to Han Chong: "Today, a brother went out of the city and met a team of Qin soldiers, and it seems that a large group of soldiers and horses are coming to Tongcheng. The brothers thought that if the Qin army was coming to attack the city again, then how we should prepare was all up to the orders of the eldest brother. ”

Han Chong stroked his nose and thought: "The patrol guards on the city wall are doubled, don't go out of the city to hunt these days, and send more people out of the city, disguised as farmers and beggars, and as soon as there is a movement of the Qin army, immediately return to the city to deliver a message." ”

Feng Ding was ordered to leave, but Han Chong felt a little strange in his heart. According to his original idea, before the Qin army broke through Shouchun, they would not be distracted to attack Tongcheng, and this group of Qin soldiers came really strangely.

In fact, the speed of the Qin army was far faster than he imagined. Within a few days, it had stopped thirty miles south of the city.

Han Chong patrolled the city tower twice a day, half to supervise the city's defense, and half to boost morale. He was among the soldiers, and everywhere he passed, the young men gathered around, and his blood boiled with a few words.

Mo Yu changed his armor and followed behind him, and Han Chong's change really amazed her. The factors that have made Han Chong what he is today are not only his experience in the army in the past few years, but also his innate optimism, heartiness and open-mindedness. It seems that it is a big deal, and when it comes to him, it is as simple and easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

After walking down, Mo Yu asked him quietly: "You just said that you are waiting for the rescue of the Chu State, but the Shouchun area is too busy to take care of itself, how can it be possible to come to the rescue here?" ”

Han Chong's rare seriousness: "Little ballad, I'm not afraid to tell you that Tongcheng has long been out of order from the Chu State." Those nobles are unkind and unjust, so I don't fight hard for them. Therefore, it's good that Shouchun can't vacate people, but once people are freed, I'm afraid the first thing to do is to destroy Tongcheng. ”

Han Chong smiled, lowered his voice and said, "These people haven't fought much, I want them to know that Tongcheng is already an isolated city, I'm afraid they will panic before they fight." It's better to give them a thought than to have no hope. ”

Mo Yu knocked on the city wall and thought about it, and said, "Then it is better to seal up all the granaries in the city today and send a team of people to guard them in the past." ”

"Look at what that granary is about to do...... Han Chong said halfway through, and suddenly understood her intentions, "Oh, yes, yes, but some people already know that there is not much surplus food in the city, I think, just send a few people out of the city to sneak around, and then pretend to transport a few carts of things back." Put it in the granary. ”

All this is to make those young men think that Tongcheng has enough surplus food, and deal with the crisis in front of them first.

At the same time, the Qin army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but slowly spread out into a semicircle, surrounding Tongcheng virtually, as if waiting for someone to come. It took more than half a month to besiege the city before it suddenly attacked the city one night.

Han Chong and Mo Yu were originally lying in their clothes, but when they heard the chaotic fighting, they immediately rushed out. Han Chong took out his horse and echoed to Mo Yu, "You wait here, don't go out." ”

Mo Yu looked at him expressionlessly: "If Tongcheng is broken, can you still guarantee that this place is safe?" Give me a small team of people and I'll be careful myself. ”

Han Chong looked at her with a firm gaze, and knew that he was not very sure of today's battle, so he ordered more than a dozen young men who often followed him and sent them to Mo Yu.

The city gate was blazing, and the Qin army surrounded it for half a month, and it turned out that it was secretly transporting siege equipment. I don't know which secret path they took, and even the people sent out by Han Chong were hidden.

Under the city tower, Xiao Zhen rode on a horse, covered with golden birds, and stared coldly at the battle on the city. Mobilizing a large number of men to attack a lonely city is not a wise move at the moment. But he didn't want to wait, after the medicinal power passed, he came out of Yunzhao Mountain and made a performance to the King of Qin, wanting to clear the road to the Daiguo. Only he knew in his heart that he was looking for someone, whether that person was alive or dead, he would find him, and this time, she would never be allowed to leave.

Above the city tower, Han Chong also saw Xiao Zhen, and the golden light was mixed in the middle of the raging flames, which was extremely conspicuous. He took the longbow and said to those around him, "Open the corner gate, and I will go out of the city." ”

He is not a hero, although he has indeed been looking forward to it for a long time and wants to fight Xiao Zhen. But he wanted to divert part of the Qin army for his brothers who were fighting fiercely at the head of the city. Because of the lack of food, the hungry young man, although he was all heroic, could not resist the onslaught of the Qin army in turn.

Xiao Zhen saw the corner gate open, and a team of centaurs rushed out, and the person who rushed to the front, the silver-armored red horse, looked from a distance, and was also a little heroic.

The two horses staggered, and the long knives struck each other, Xiao Zhen and Han Chong briefly fought for a few rounds, reined in the horse's reins, and made a "siege" gesture behind him.

"Xiao Zhen, are you afraid?" Han Chong wanted to try his best to hold him back, so he had to provoke him with words, "Master still wants to have a good time with you." ”

Xiao Zhen looked at him coldly: "For the sake of Xiao Yu, I only took a few tricks from you." For the rest, I don't need to do it myself. Confidence and disdain flowed from his words: "Only a stupid person will win by brute force." ”

He retreated into the formation and watched from a distance as the Qin army engulfed Han Chong like a giant beast with its mouth wide open.
