Chapter 65: The Great War Comes

"Report!"

"General, the army of Xibohou has come to the outside of the city and is encamped ten miles outside the city!"

"Suck, suck ......"

In the watchtower of the Jizhou city wall, Zhao Bing was eating breakfast while listening to the scout's report. Quickly pulling the remaining food in the bowl into his mouth, Zhao Bing put the bowl down, and then said, "Explore again!" After saying that, he got up and walked out of the watchtower, came to the female wall, and looked into the distance.

Standing on the city wall, Zhao Bing could vaguely see the army of Xibohou who was camping.

"Is there any news from the Major General?" Seeing that the Xiqi army had just arrived here, the camp was not completely surrounded, and many soldiers went out to cut wood, Zhao Bing had some ideas in his heart.

"Back to the general, the major general has not issued a new order for the time being!" The accompanying lieutenant answered Zhao Bing's questions.

"Well, what a chance!" Zhao Bingyan sighed with some regret when he heard this.

"The general wants to ......," the lieutenant asked in a low voice.

Zhao Bing looked at the adjutant general, then pointed to the Xiqi army in the distance, and said: "Look at the Xiqi soldiers and horses, except for the thousands of men and horses that came out in front of them, the rest of the soldiers and horses are scattered, it is a good time for a sneak attack, if our army kills from the city at this time, attracting the attention of the enemy, the major general will take the opportunity to attack behind the enemy, and he will definitely be able to turn the people killed by the Xiqi army on their backs." The more Zhao Bing spoke, the more excited he became, as if victory was just around the corner.

The adjutant general listened to Zhao Bing's description, and also fantasized about the scene of defeating the Xiqi army according to Zhao Bing's strategy. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, so the adjutant general proposed: "The general must not miss the opportunity and not come again, why don't we take the initiative to contact the major general and let the major general get ready, how about it?" ”

Zhao Bing was also a little moved when he heard this, and he wanted to follow the advice of the adjutant general, but Zhao Bing resisted the temptation, and after thinking about it carefully, he still replied: "Let's listen to the young general, I can find out this opportunity, it is impossible for the young general not to find out, let's wait for the news, but we can let the brothers be ready." ”

Hearing this, the adjutant general turned around and left, and went to arrange for the soldiers to prepare.

Seeing the deputy general leaving, Zhao Bing looked at the enemy troops outside the city, and then led the rest of the generals to start inspecting the city wall.

"Brothers, watch carefully, the enemy has come to the city, you must deal with it carefully, and don't let the enemy have a chance!"

Zhao Bing shouted as he walked.

"Don't be too nervous, with our major general here, victory will eventually belong to us, do you trust the major general? Tell me out loud! ”

"Faith!"

"Faith!"

"Faith!"

The soldiers on the city wall heard Zhao Bing's shouting and responded loudly. The rolling sound spread four or five miles away, and the morale suddenly rose a level.

Xiqi army Yinshi ate and pulled out the camp, before the hour came to the city of Jizhou, the pioneer general Yang Jian led three thousand soldiers to go around under the city of Jizhou, saw that Jizhou was well defended, there was no opportunity to take advantage of, after passing the message to Xibohou, left a warning soldier, that is, to prevent the rest of the soldiers from camping ten miles outside the city.

After a while, Xibohou led the army here, and Nangong Shi took over the camping from Yang Jian. After Yang Jian reminded the vigilant soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, he went to report the military situation to Xibohou.

"General Yang, you've worked hard all the way!" Xiqi camp, Ji Chang looked at Yang Jian who walked in, and thanked him sincerely.

"Hou Ye is serious, Poor Dao is ordered by the master to go down the mountain, and he should do his best to assist Hou Ye in acting!" After listening to Ji Chang's words, Yang Jian replied modestly.

Xibohou didn't continue to entangle, but asked: "General Yang, you went to investigate the defense of Jizhou City just now, how do you feel, you may capture Jizhou City?" ”

"Master Hou, Poor Dao is not good at fighting in battle formations, so it is not good to give opinions, but according to what Poor Dao has seen, if our army forcibly attacks the city, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses!" Hearing Xibohou's inquiry, Yang Jian investigated the situation by himself and objectively expressed his opinion.

When Xibohou heard this, even though he had been prepared in his heart, his eyes were still dark, and he was a little unoptimistic about the prospects of this battle.

"Hou Ye doesn't need to worry, since this battle is what I insist on, I won't let Hou Ye suffer, there is a poor way in the army, and I won't let Jizhou Xiaoxiao offend Hou Ye's military might!" Yang Jian saw the worried look on Xi Bohou's face, and said encouragement again.

As Yang Jian said, Xibohou, who had already retired from the army, once again led the army to conquer Jizhou, which was completely requested by the supporters behind him, and for this reason, he sent Yang Jian, the first disciple of the third generation.

"There is a long way, Ben Hou is naturally not worried, but the stalemate of the war is a disaster for both the people of Jizhou and Xiqi. Alas! Although Yang Jian's words made Ji Chang not worry about the military, the people's livelihood was also worried about Xibohou.

"Poor Dao is only here to meet the sect disciple for a while, and after the poor Dao and the sect disciple have dealt with it, this matter will be decided by the waiting master, and the poor Dao will fully cooperate!" Listening to Ji Chang raise his concerns again, Yang Jian once again reiterated the purpose of his trip.

Seeing that Yang Jian insisted on his own opinion, Ji Chang was also helpless, and he was not talking about it, but began to check military affairs.

Outside Jizhou City, the available trees had already been cut down by Su Quanzhong's people, so that it was not until nightfall that the Xiqi army set up the camp, and Zhao Bing did not receive Su Quanzhong's order to send troops during the whole process.

Seeing that the opportunity was about to be lost, Zhao Bing regretted it at the same time, but he was also thinking about what Su Quanzhong thought, but no matter how he guessed, he couldn't guess what Su Quanzhong was thinking, and Zhao Bing, who was depressed, had to take his soldiers to patrol the city wall over and over again.

Just when the generals in the city were crazy, a thin scout quietly came to Zhao Bing's side and secretly stuffed him with a strip of cloth. However, the scout's behavior frightened Zhao Bing, and he almost executed him as an assassin, but fortunately, the scout was shrewd and quickly identified himself to avoid suffering.

"You little guy, just leave it to the general, it's sneaky!" Zhao Bing put away the cloth and reprimanded the scout.

The scout was still uneasy when he heard this, but he didn't forget Su Quanzhong's entrustment.

"General, before leaving, the major general specially instructed the general to destroy the information in his hand immediately after reading it, so that the information must not be leaked, and please don't hesitate."

After listening to the scout's words, Zhao Bing was extremely curious about what was written in the strip, so he directly opened it to check. However, Zhao Bing only looked at the three lines, and his expression became both high and cautious, and after a quick glance, he clumped the strips of cloth into a ball and put them on the torch to light them.

After the strips of cloth were burned to ashes, Zhao Bing directly ordered: "Tell the brothers to get up and eat, and then recuperate and listen to the military orders!" With that, he turned and left, and returned to the city wall watchtower.

When Zhao Bing received the cloth, outside the Xiqi camp ten miles away from Jizhou City, a pair of indifferent eyes stared at the Xiqi camp, waiting for an opportunity.
