Yang Shu's words did not come true in the end.

This siege battle lasted until nightfall, and they couldn't meet each other.

After a whole day of fighting, coupled with the inconvenience of the night, the shouting and killing sounded less intense.

Many sergeants killed the enemy with their heads shut, and the only sound in their ears was the dull sound of the blade entering the flesh.

When you're tired, find a place to sit for a while. When you are hungry, take out the dry food of the army and nibble on two bites.

Yang Shu's armor was dripping with blood, and he returned to Zong Xu's side and asked, "General, if you continue, the casualties are too great, is it really like fighting all night?" ”

The army brought out by Zongxu is an elite who has experienced a hundred battles, but they are not afraid of these Hu people.

But these Hu people don't want to die, and it is a pity to use the elite of the Northwest Army to consume the number with them.

While watching the battle, Zong Xu asked him, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

Yang Shu hesitated.

Experiencing the battlefield today has subverted his concept a lot, and he knows that military chess omits many details. And these details often affect the outcome of victory or defeat. Because of this, he doesn't dare to come up with ideas now.

"Say it, I'll carry it for you if it's wrong." Zong Xu said with a smile.

Yang Shu was encouraged and said boldly: "If it were me, I would send someone to steal the city gate." These Hu people are not good at defending the city, and they certainly don't know much about the means of stealing the city. ”

Zongxu nodded. Over there, the captain of his personal guard came over to report: "General, the people have been chosen, and they can go to steal the city immediately." ”

Yang Shu was surprised, it turned out that Zong Xu had already decided to steal the city?

I heard Zong Xu say to him: "You are already sharp enough to make decisions in the general direction, and you should be more confident in yourself." It's just how to steal the city, it's not a matter of opening your mouth to say it. Do you dare to take the plunge? ”

Yang Shu was excited: "Can I go?" ”

"Yes." Zong Xu said, "You choose two guards to follow and go with them." But you also have to be prepared for the fact that this task is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will fold there. If you die in battle, I will only report to the Holy Lord, you were struck by a stray arrow and died. ”

He can't have military merits, and Zong Xu naturally won't say that he allowed him to go to the battlefield. So, if he dies, he will die a terrible death.

"How, do you dare to go?" Zong Xu asked.

Yang Shu took a deep breath: "I'll go!" ”

Zong Xu watched Yang Shu gradually drown in the darkness, and sighed for a long time.

"What a terrible thing!"

The captain of the guard didn't understand: "General, you mean ......"

Zong Xu raised his chin at his back: "If it were a boy from my sect family, since he was twelve years old when he went to the battlefield to teach, he would now be able to stand alone. ”

The captain of the guard smiled: "The general is really lovely. ”

Zong Xu said: "One more excellent general, you can die a lot less." ”

The captain of the guard was gloomy: "I am afraid that half of the brothers who went on this expedition will be buried here." ”

Zong Xu didn't say anything, only patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up, go eat and drink, there is still a hard battle at night." ”

"Yes."

……

Not far from the city pass, on a remote hill, there are figures swaying in the dark.

"Great Khan, something has been brought." A Hu man spoke up.

The man in the shadows moved, out of his hiding place. When the moonlight shined, what was revealed was Su Tu's cold and handsome face.

"Set it up." He commanded lightly.

"Yes."

They didn't light a fire, but just by the light of the moon, they set up a crossbow.

This crossbow machine, which they got from the Qi army, is very rare.

"Great Khan, set up." The guards replied respectfully.

Sutu walked over, leaned down, and aimed at the target through the lookout mountain.

"It's a little far." He whispered.

Here, there is at least a distance of 200 zhang from the Chinese army, which is the ultimate range of the strong crossbow.

I have to say that Zong Xu, a famous general of the Qi country, is worthy of his name, and he has not left any flaws.

Not only was the command distance just right, but he was very careful, with shields arranged around him, and he didn't even light a torch in the dark, so he couldn't tell which one was him.

Sutu took aim for a moment and gave up.

He asked the guards, "How many of us do we have now?" ”

The guard replied, "Only your snow wolf guard has arrived, and there are about a hundred people. Our fighters are coming overnight and will be there the day after tomorrow. ”

"The day after tomorrow, it's too late, Zong Xu will definitely end the battle before tomorrow." Sutu groaned.

If you want to kill Zongxu, the safest way is to launch a surprise attack while he is besieging the city. However, the intelligence network of the Qi army should not be underestimated, and he was afraid of arousing Zong Xu's vigilance, so he had to leave the main force in the royal court.

Su Tu thought about it for a long time, but still felt that he couldn't give up this opportunity.

For people like Zongxu, the sooner they die, the better. Now let him go to the gravel slope city pass, who knows if he will really be able to hold out for three months.

He had worked so hard that he had even put aside the huge hidden dangers in the clan for the time being, just to kill Zongxu, how could he give up so easily?

Only when Zong Xu is dead, such a sacrifice is worth it.

"Gather the Snow Wolf Guard." Su Tu finally made a decision, under the moonlight, he raised his head slightly, revealing a neat and awe-inspiring chin line, and his face was obviously extremely delicate, but it exuded a cruel bloody atmosphere, "Shock the Qi army and push Zong Xu into the firing range!" ”

"Yes."

He turned his head to look at the old servant who was standing quietly on the other side: "You want to avenge your grandmother, now you have a chance......"

……

The big bird had already finished it, and Ming Wei and Ning Xiu simply used the drinking water, and continued to watch the battle in the rear, guarding against possible side doors.

The little white snake in his sleeve moved, leaned out and said softly: "My lord, the smell of blood is too strong, my feeling is a little out of order, I don't know if it's right." ”

Ming Wei said: "You say yes." ”

"Yes." The little white snake said, "I feel that something is approaching, the living are not like the living, the dead are not like the dead, it's strange." ”

"The living are not like the living, and the dead are not like the dead?" Ming Weiqi said, "Zombies? ”

"I don't know, it's a little familiar, but I can't smell it carefully right now."

Mingwei thought for a while and said to Ning Xiu: "Sir, let's go and have a look." It's better to make a mistake than to miss it. ”

"Hmm."

When they arrived at the place pointed by the little white snake, the Snow Wolf Guard had already assembled and slaughtered into the Qi State array.

These Hu cavalry, all of them are elites, plus they are waiting for work, and as soon as they join the battle, they will make the Qi army suffer greatly.

Fortunately, there were not many of them, and the generals in charge of the rear quickly mobilized their forces and surrounded them.

And Mingwei and Ning Xiu found a few sneaky figures in the crowd.

"This breath is really a little familiar." Mingwei muttered.

"You know?" Ning Xiu asked.

Mingwei thought for a while: "Oh, it's those people, right?" ”

When she was on her way to Hudi with her caravan, she passed by a small town and met Nasu there.

She nodded: "Sure enough, it's the living dead who guarded the tomb of Princess Yongqing." ”
