Zhou Ziyu carried a spear and vigilantly watched the movements around him.

King Qin only brought him and Qu Tong and a few black-armored elite cavalrymen out.

The mountains and forests at night are silent and dark.

According to the march map, the mountain roads in this area are rugged and the terrain is precipitous, which is the only way from Los Angeles to Cijian, and is heavily guarded by Zheng troops.

The Tang army's men and horses were besieging Cijian and successfully lured Emperor Zheng Shichong out of Los Angeles.

Wang Shichong was menacing, and it is said that he brought 30,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 cavalry to personally drive out the Tang army and relieve the crisis of Cijian.

The King of Qin did not believe that Wang Shichong's combat effectiveness was still so strong, and decided to go behind enemy lines to investigate the actual military situation of the Zheng army.

The horses' hooves were covered with thick felt, and they made no sound when they stepped on the ground.

It's a pity that the horse's hooves are silent and can hide from people's ears, but they can't hide from the sensitive birds and beasts in the forest.

King Qin's whereabouts were soon discovered and shouted.

According to the strategy discussed between the King of Qin and Zhou Ziyu, if the Zheng army was alarmed, they would scatter and run, trying to disturb all the vigilant men and horses in the Zheng army's military camp, in order to confirm the reinforcements led by Wang Shichong, and then converge and concentrate on killing back to the Tang camp.

Zhou Ziyu clenched the spear, lifted the reins, and rushed out.

Over there, Qu Tong and several black-armored cavalrymen also carried their long knives and spears and rushed all the way to kill.

The cavalry was fast and the weapons were powerful, and the Zheng army, which was half-asleep and half-awake, was vulnerable and soon disorganized.

Zhou Ziyu rushed north to kill to the end, the camp was only a dozen miles, he turned his horse's head and ran back, to meet with the others.

Before they could reach the scattered place, Zheng's cavalry surrounded them, and more and more soldiers were awakened.

King Qin whistled.

Zhou Ziyu rushed over, taking advantage of the night, Zhou Ziyu glanced at the faint reflection on the weapon, and said that it was not good, they had been surrounded.

Qu Tong and Zhou Ziyu protected King Qin on the left and right, and several black-armored elite cavalry fought hard and finally ran out of the Zheng army's barracks.

Just as they saw the Tang camp, Zheng Jun's pursuers released rain arrows.

Zhou Ziyu kept pushing away the rain of arrows behind him on the horse, and several of their sharpshooters also frequently returned their bows and released arrows. However, the general was outnumbered, so he could only flee in embarrassment.

King Qin fell from his horse, didn't care to pick up his weapon, pulled out his feet and ran wildly, shouting: "Open the door and let me in!" ”

The soldiers guarding the camp did not recognize the appearance of King Qin, but fortunately recognized the voice of King Qin, and hurriedly opened the camp gate, and the deputy general guarding the gate came out with archers to fight back.

Zheng Jun's pursuers had no choice but to stop.

Zhou Ziyu Qutong and the others then ran back, all of them were hit by arrows, and the blood did not stop, and the military doctor immediately ran up to examine and bandage their injuries.

The king of Qin washed up for a while, and did not care about changing his dusty robes, so he hurriedly summoned all the generals in the tent and arranged the attack mission.

Zhou Ziyu was hit by another arrow in his left shoulder, but fortunately, the iron armor blocked the castration of the arrow, and the arrow only pierced into about half an inch, which was no big problem.

When he walked into the tent, the king of Qin had already issued an order to attack, and all the generals took the order one by one and rushed out.

After King Qin sent all the arrows, he beckoned Zhou Ziyu and Qu Tong to sit down: "General Zhou, General Qu, how are your injuries?" ”

Zhou Ziyu said: "It's okay. ”

Qu Tong said with a smile: "Fortunately, the arrows on the blade of the knife are smeared with the venom given by General Zhou, otherwise the Zheng army will chase more fiercely." ”

Zhou Ziyu said: "His Royal Highness King Qin is blessed, Zhang Guozhu only made so much venom, and it just happened to be all used. ”

King Qin smiled: "I think General Zhou is very calm!" ”

Zhou Ziyu said: "Weichen saw that His Highness was calm and methodical, so that he could follow the encirclement." ”

He can't say that he can only see the peace of the outside world when he is calm in his heart, and only then can the ghost believe such words.

Besides, praising the deputy in front of His Highness, that's looking for a draw, so you can only put the big red flower on your Highness.

King Qin knew Zhou Ziyu's prudence, and he was surprised that the bravery of fighting on horses and the sven who talked eloquently about military strategies under the seat became more and more distinct in Zhou Ziyu's body.

"General Zhou, since it's okay, let's go."

Soldiers are fast.

The king of Qin did not rest, and directly ordered 50,000 horses, and the army pressed the border, strengthening the besieging front several times.

Emperor Zheng Shichong did not expect that the Tang army would have so many men and horses, and fought undefeated, leading an army of 30,000 and retreating to Los Angeles.

The soldiers who defended the city of Cijian, who lost their reinforcements, had no intention of fighting and abandoned the city and surrendered.

King Qin was overjoyed: "General Zhou, your military strategy is really a last resort." ”

Zhou Ziyu said modestly: "Weichen's military strategy is also thanks to Li's participation in the army. ”

Li joined the army Li Chunfeng, good at Zhou Yi deduction, Zhou Ziyu before each time to write a military strategy, to find Li Chunfeng to ask the celestial phenomena, when there will be any changes, and then according to the map of troops, make an appropriate formation situation, step by step analysis.

King Qin laughed: "Li Senjun doesn't understand military affairs, but he is General Zhou's military advisor. ”

Zhou Ziyu said: "Li joined the army and calculated everything to the extreme, accurate to the hour, not half a point, Weichen admired it very much, and he didn't believe it." Just like last night's raid on Zheng Ying, it was within the scope of Li's calculations, and it was a blessing for the Tang Dynasty that His Royal Highness King Qin got this high staff. ”

It's not that Zhou Ziyu is too cautious, it's that he has already sensed that King Qin has the intention of establishing himself as a king.

What Zhou Ziyu has not yet figured out is whether after King Qin defeated Wang Shichong, he wanted to establish himself as the king, or asked Li Yuan for the title of vassal king, and since then he has been in Los Angeles.

Therefore, Zhou Ziyu always maintained a safe distance from the king of Qin, and would never get carried away because of his heavy responsibility.

King Qin smiled and said, "General Zhou, are the military supplies still sufficient?" ”

The more than 10,000 Zheng army defenders of Cijian have just been incorporated into the command of King Qin.

Cijian's military grain and grass have long been self-sufficient, Wang Shichong has no soldiers and horses to replenish at all, and sometimes Cijian has to send even export grain to Los Angeles.

Cijian Taishou He Shouli has long wanted to break away from Wang Shichong, but it is unrealistic to return to Dou Jiande in the north, or to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the west, the road is far away. As soon as the Tang army came to attack the city, He Shouli asked people to go to Los Angeles to report the news, and at the same time secretly instructed him not to resist and just open the city gate.

Originally, the most valuable thing in Cijian was the solid city gate.

Now that the Tang Army has absorbed 10,000 more people, food, grass, weapons, and military supplies all need to be redistributed.

Zhou Ziyu said: "It should be enough." However, the medicines sent by Zhang Guozhu were set aside and not planned in the grain and grass section. ”

King Qin smiled: "Okay! ”

The medicine sent by Zhang Jinwen is regarded by everyone as a miracle medicine.

Cijian Taishou He Shouli has long wanted to break away from Wang Shichong, but it is unrealistic to return to Dou Jiande in the north, or to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the west, the road is far away. As soon as the Tang army came to attack the city, He Shouli asked people to go to Los Angeles to report the news, and at the same time secretly instructed him not to resist and just open the city gate.
