Chapter 309: Conversion and Upgrade
After Jixia Xuegong, Cao Qiudao seemed to evaporate from the world.
Even if the disciple Tian Chong sent people to look for him everywhere, he never appeared.
The reason is very simple, Cao Qiudao is afraid!
There are two people he is afraid of, one is Bai Zhong, and the other is the master of the knife who went to the Jixia School Palace that day, and afterwards he thought about it for a long time, and felt that the master of the knife was actually Bai Zhong.
They are the same people.
"Bai Zhong, not only is he a master of using a sword, but his sword skills are not bad."
Cao Qiudao walked into the Jixia School Palace, this was the last time he returned to the School Palace, and he would not come back in the future unless there were any special circumstances.
He also has to do other things, such as for the sake of Qi State.
In the face of the Qin army's troops, the Qi State probably couldn't hold it, Tian Chong, that idiot, actually let Qi Wangjian escape, and the Qi State was split into two parts, and the next thing was to be destroyed.
He can't shoulder the responsibility of guarding the Qi State for the time being, but he will return to the country in the future, and he must return to the country.
Cao Qiudao thought so in his heart, and said, "Someone! ”
A disciple walked behind him, and he heard him say again: "You ask people to see Zhang Liang again, tell him that we can cooperate against Qin in the future, and tell everyone in the Jixia School Palace to destroy the institutions left by the Mo family and dissolve them all." ”
"Disbanded?"
The disciple was surprised: "Why do you do this?" ”
Cao Qiudao said unhurriedly: "The country is going to be destroyed, the school palace cannot be saved, where to go in the future, you arrange it yourself, if necessary, I will gather you again, let's go!" ”
He had other plans, but it wasn't so stupid as keeping the Jixia School Palace, or coexisting and dying with the Qi State.
When people die, many things can't be done.
He just wants to live, and he must live.
That disciple didn't understand very well, so he could only pass on the news as instructed.
——
Bai Zhong returned to Yanmen Pass.
The Xiongnu army in the rear caught up with it mightily, and it was stationed outside the Yanmen Pass, about five miles.
The gate of Yanmen Pass was closed, isolating the Huns outside.
Touman didn't immediately order an attack, but just looked in the direction of the castle tower from a distance, and Bai Zhong, who had climbed the castle tower, could feel Toumandan's angry eyes.
"General, I petition to go to war and repel the Huns!"
When Zhang Han saw the Huns outside, his hands were a little itchy, and he wanted to go out to kill for a while to deter the Hun army.
Bai Zhong refused: "There is no need to go to war, soon the Huns will come to storm our tower, prepare to defend the city, hold on!" ”
They were given orders, and soon someone arranged for them to move all the things that should be prepared for the defense of the city to the top of the tower.
Just waiting for the arrival of the Huns.
Bai Zhong's guess was correct, and in the evening of the same day, the Huns had almost rested, and the army began to advance towards Yanmen Pass.
The siege method of this group of Huns was exactly the same as before the winter, they did not have so many skills and did not pay attention to strategy, they just brought a ladder and came to attack.
"Tian Zhen, you go to the west, Zhang Han stays in the middle position, Li Xin, you go to the east......"
Bai Zhong saw that the scale of Tou Mandan's siege was even bigger than before the snow, and the ladder was prepared in hundreds, and he didn't dare to be careless, and quickly made various arrangements.
If the Yanmen Pass is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Various subordinates and generals were transferred one after another.
The soldiers defending the city were ready, and waited until the Huns climbed up through the ladder and stabbed down with Changge in their hands.
Fighting, up and down the castle tower.
Young-sook was not idle, and also joined the defense of the city, leading the soldiers to fight back against the enemy.
Bai Zhong took out a big bow and shot the general under the command of the Huns under the tower.
Yanmen Pass, which had been silent for more than two months, soon became lively, and inside and outside the gate, it was filled with a burst of shouting and killing, and the smell of blood was permeated.
"General, the Huns have climbed up."
One of the lieutenants said eagerly.
Bai Zhong looked up, only to see that it was a section of the east side, and the city tower was relatively weakly defended, which made the Huns take advantage of the loophole, and immediately said: "Send 10,000 more soldiers over, strengthen the defense, and kill all the Huns who came up, and not one is left." ”
Yanmen Pass is on the Great Wall of Zhao State, in addition to the position of the pass, the Great Wall of Zhao State is still very long, and built in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The strong attack of the Huns was like a rainbow at the beginning, and there was a great tendency to break through.
Later, it was found that it was still impossible to take the Yanmen Pass, and it was almost nightfall, the blood of the Huns slowly cooled, and as more and more people died, the siege was not as fierce as at the beginning.
Once morale is lost, it is difficult to concentrate forces to attack.
Tou Mandan Yu had to order a retreat.
"The Huns have retreated, Zhang Han, you will lead 100,000 troops and go out of the customs to pursue."
Bai Zhong looked in the direction of the retreat of the Huns and continued: "Li Xin led the cavalry to assist Zhang Han. ”
"Yui!"
The two of them took the command.
The infantry and cavalry walked out of the gate of Yanmen Pass at the same time and killed the retreating Hun soldiers.
The Xiongnu really didn't have much discipline, and the retreat was chaotic, just to give Zhang Han and Li Xin the opportunity to pursue, the army plundered and killed, killing the fleeing Huns, nearly forty or fifty thousand people withdrew.
The Huns wanted to fight back, but the Qin army came quickly and retreated quickly.
The 300,000-strong army went south, and now there are less than 200,000 left.
Tou Manshan gritted his teeth with hatred, thought for a long time and decided not to care about Yanmen Pass, retreat overnight, save troops, and then go to Liaoxi to meet with the troops there, and enter the Central Plains through Liaoxi.
Yanmen Pass is difficult to fight, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in other places, he thinks it is much easier than Yanmen Pass.
After Li Xin and Zhang Han returned, it was already night.
The door was closed, and torches were lit on the tower.
Bai Zhong instructed them to continue martial law and beware of enemy night attacks, and then return to their camps.
Open the Properties panel.
Host: Bai Zhong
Grade: 6
Achievements: Less mastery, generals, and gods
Merit points: 25320
Exercises, skills: longevity, Mozi swordsmanship, eight methods in the well
Special Abilities: Berserk (Advanced, 500%), Berserk (Advanced, 426%), Kazuki (Intermediate, 55%), Enslavement (Advanced, 661%)
Merit points have exceeded 20,000.
Bai Zhong hesitated for a while, wanting to improve himself, and said silently: "System, physical strength, add five thousand." ”
"Defense +5000, Strength +5000, Speed +5000."
"Congratulations to the host, the system level has been raised, and it is now level 8."
"The system has been upgraded, the ability has been improved, and the conversion ratio of combat merits has been increased to 10:1."
The voice of the system sounded in Bai Zhong's mind.
Bai Zhong was stunned when he heard this, and then his heart was overjoyed.
That is to say, as long as the subordinate soldiers kill ten enemies, they can convert one merit point, which used to be one hundred people for one.
The conversion rate increases, and it will be easier to obtain merit points in the future.
"I knew that the ratio could still be improved, so I actively upgraded and wasted so many opportunities."
Bai Zhong felt pity in his heart, but it didn't matter, there was still time to fight in the future.
Thinking of the Huns outside, all of them are walking meritorious points, and they must kill as many as they can, and it is best to destroy them all.
Do you want to go ahead with the upgrade?
He thought about it for a while, put it aside for the time being, and verified that the conversion ratio was okay before upgrading.
"Lover, why are you so excited?"
Yingshu happened to walk in, snuggled up to her side and asked curiously.
