"Big brother, Ziru came back that week." Li Dingxing came to Yi Xiaodao's side and said lightly.

"Well, call General Pei, we... I'm going to meet him. Yi Xiaodao got up and said.

The city of rejection is a rare big city in the Saiwaisha City, and compared with the Saiwaisha City in Anxi and Dingliao, it is also one of the best fortified cities.

In the past six years, with the addition of Zhou Ziru Yulin's army and Yi Xiaodao's reorganized Fubei Army, the city of rejection has been exaggerated several times, and it is almost the same as the city of Middle Earth.

Yi Xiaodao, Zhou Ziru, and Pei Shuozhang each built an earthen courtyard around the center of the city, and a tall brick building was built in the center for military discussions.

The three soldiers and horses have been living peacefully in the city for six years, and there is nothing else between them now

"Zhou Xiang, you are going to the capital, how is the matter with the soldiers and horses?"

The soldiers and horses in the city of Refusal are now combined, and there are only 150,000 horses when they are full, don't look at the crowding in the city now, and they are still a little stretched to the top of Beiyi.

Zhou Ziru smiled slightly: "Resisting Beiyi is a big deal, and Your Majesty will naturally do his best to help." His Majesty has promised 500,000 soldiers and horses, and it is believed that they will arrive soon. ”

Pei Shuozhang listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and knew that Zhou Ziru had gone back to the capital to move the rescue soldiers.

It's just that he's a general in the Northland, so it's hard for him to intervene in such a conversation.

"How's Beiyi's movement?" Zhou Ziru was also extremely concerned about the situation in Beiyi.

"Beiyi... Troops have already been dispatched, faster than we thought... The 300,000 army was only fifty miles away from Beiyi City yesterday. ”

Zhou Ziru frowned, the situation was even worse than he thought, the Beiyi vanguard army was 300,000 horses, and it was terrifying.

"300,000 soldiers and horses... One person and one shot can stab this city to pieces. Pei Shuozhang frowned on the side: "How is this good?" ”

"It seems that Beiyi is serious this time..."Yi Xiaodao pursed his lips.

Zhou Ziru pondered for a moment and said: "300,000 is just the vanguard army, but Beiyi has an army of one million. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have not yet arrived, and we have to buy some time for the imperial court in this refusing city. ”

Yi Xiaodao didn't speak, and Pei Shuozhang stood up excitedly: "Gain time?" ”

After a while, Pei Shuozhang realized that he was a little rude, and slowly sat down again: "What does Zhou Xiang mean... With these 150,000 soldiers and horses, we want to stop the 300,000 army? ”

Zhou Ziru shook his head slowly, and now Pei Shuozhang was a little puzzled: "What does Zhou Xiang mean..."

"We are not trying to stop the 300,000 army, but to crush the 300,000!"

Pei Shuozhang felt that he had some difficulty breathing.

"If we just block 300,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid that our 150,000 people will be dragged down slowly, and when the main army of Beiyi arrives, none of us will be able to escape."

"It's better to fight a quick battle here, defeat these 300,000 soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, let Beiyi be shocked, and it can be delayed for some more time."

Pei Shuozhang smiled bitterly: "Zhou Xiang said it easily, but the question is how to stop these 300,000 Beiyi soldiers now..."

Yi Xiaodao also looked at Zhou Ziru, and he thought that he was not as good as this expert in terms of specific war plans.

"Soldiers, treacherous. If we just blindly defend the city, and the battle and peace are all in the hands of the Beiyi, we will not be able to defeat them. So... It is imperative that we take the initiative! ”

Pei Shuozhang looked directly at this Great Qi Zhou Xiang, not knowing what incredible words were going to come out of his mouth.

Zhou Ziru ignored the shocked Pei Shuozhang and the wry-smiling Yi Xiaodao, and lay on the map intently, looking at it intently.

"Zhou Xiang... Zhou phase? Why didn't you say it halfway through? ”

Pei Shuozhang was in a hurry, the transfer of 150,000 horses was not a matter of a moment and a half, and it was necessary to prepare in advance.

Yi Xiaodao made a "boo" gesture to Pei Shuozhang, he knew that now Zhou Ziru was thinking about countermeasures, and it was the time not to disturb.

"On the march to fight, there are only three points, and the time and place are favorable. At the end of the day, our army and Beiyi occupied it; People, our army has far fewer soldiers and horses than Beiyi, and now, we can only rely on geographical advantages..."

"There are plains outside the city, and the only advantage is this Rejection City..."Yi Xiaodao reminded on the side.

"The city of rejection... Rejection of the city... You say, "Can the city of rejection today hold 300,000 people?" Zhou Ziru suddenly raised his head and asked.

Pei Shuozhang has been outside the fortress for a long time, and Beiyi City was originally built by him, so he has a lot of say in the city.

"After several expansions of the city, it is not a problem for the city to accommodate 300,000 soldiers and horses. Is Zhou Xiang thinking? ”

"That's right, put Beiyi into the city, close the door and beat the dog!" Zhou Ziru slapped the table suddenly, and the strategy had already taken shape in his chest.

Seeing that Yi Xiaodao and Pei Shuozhang were both looking at him, Zhou Ziru didn't sell Guan Zi, and said directly: "We will give up the city of refusal to Beiyi, and wipe out these 300,000 soldiers and horses in the city!" ”

"Even if it is put into the city, Beiyi is still 300,000 soldiers and horses. And once Beiyi occupies the city of Rejection, we will fight in the city, and the odds of victory will not be much. ”

Zhou Ziru smiled: "How can there be only one kind of sword soldier in the world? Wind and rain, thunder and lightning, even water and fire can be soldiers! ”

Yi Xiaodao saw Zhou Ziru staring at him, and "chuckled" in his heart: "Zhou Xiang wants to... Burned the city? ”

"Not bad!"

Zhou Ziru nodded solemnly.

Before Yi Xiaodao could speak, Pei Shuozhang immediately shouted: "How can this work?" It is not easy to build the city of refusal, it is the first city to resist the siege outside the Saiwai, if it is burned like this, the prince's hard work for many years..."

"Isn't the city of rejection built to block the iron hooves of Beiyi? General Pei has put the cart before the horse. ”

Pei Shuozhang was silent, and muttered: "Even if it is burned, it may not be able to defeat the Beiyi soldiers and horses..."

"If you can't win, Zhou is willing to be a military commander!"

Zhou Ziru's words were loud, and he coughed softly as soon as he finished speaking.

Yi Xiaodao said slowly: "Zhou Xiang's injury is not healed yet, I hope you don't get angry easily." As for this solution, it is feasible. ”

"Well, General Pei led 30,000 soldiers and horses from the north to withdraw from the city, or twenty miles to the east or west to wait for orders, but when he saw the smoke of the city, he immediately cut off the retreat of the Beiyi army!"

"Wuding Gong's Fubei Army doesn't need to be too far away, just wait about ten miles outside the city. The whereabouts of the Beiyi scouts must not be discovered. If there is a fire in the city, the Fubei army will come immediately, lock the east, west and south gates, and leave only the north gate for Beiyi to escape! ”

"I led 80,000 Yulin troops to ambush the city, and when the fire started, I would fight in one fell swoop!"

Zhou Ziru arranged the soldiers and horses of the three parties and looked at the other two: "Do you two have anything else to say?" ”

Yi Xiaodao said: "Eighty thousand Yulin Army, not a small number, ambushed in the city, no matter how hidden it is, I am afraid that it will be discovered soon." It may be better for Zhou Xiang to lead the army to block the three gates, and I will lead the Fubei army to hide in the city, which may be more appropriate. ”

"And once the fire starts, the more people there are, the more dangerous it is. Zhou Xiang's army of 80,000 remained in the city, and he was afraid that he would also suffer from this fire. ”

Zhou Ziru was silent, Yi Xiaodao was right, when the time comes, the three gates will be blocked, leaving only one door, and the soldiers and horses in the city will definitely rush towards this gate.

If this battle is over, the 80,000 Yulin army really doesn't know how many percent will be left.

"But your 30,000 soldiers and horses are all elites who have survived, if that's it... It's a shame. ”

Yi Xiaodao laughed loudly: "I have my own way, so I don't have to worry about this!" ”

As soon as the three of them had decided on the discussion, a sergeant outside the door entered the report: "Report to General Pei, Beiyi soldiers and horses have been found outside the city!" ”

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned at the same time, and Zhou Ziru hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"About forty or fifty thousand."

The three of them looked at each other, and Yi Xiaodao said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this Beiyi and the vanguard army in the vanguard army would come to test it like this." ”

"Two, then I'll lead the army out of the city now?" Pei Shuozhang was in a hurry, standing up and leaving.

"Hey, General Pei is slow. Can this city be burned once, but can it be burned twice? Wouldn't it be a pity to burn down this city of refusal for the sake of 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses? ”

Zhou Ziru said to Yi Xiaodao: "There are countless capable people under the command of Duke Wuding, and I hope that Duke Wuding will fight this battle... Retreat from the enemy. ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded: "It's easy to say." ”

"I will ambush 30,000 soldiers outside the city, if Beiyi has a rout, the soldiers and horses will be killed together to meet the Duke of Wuding!"

Yi Xiaodao didn't speak, and left the hall directly: "Then there is Lao Zhouxiang!" ”

Pei Shuozhang hurriedly got up and chased after Yi Xiaodao.

Compared with Zhou Ziru, Pei Shuozhang is still closer to Yi Xiaodao, after all, he once saved his life.

And Yi Xiaodao treats people kindly, unlike Zhou Ziru, who does not have the slightest human touch.

"Wuding Gong, Wuding Gong is slow. I will help 10,000 soldiers, I wish the Wuding Gongqi a victory! Pei Shuozhang said earnestly.

"Good! Thank you, General Pei! ”

After the two separated, Yi Xiaodao hurried quickly and came to the north of the city alone.

Sure enough, Li Dingxing and others had already gathered here.

"Big brother, you're here. This Beiyi soldier is coming so fast! Li Dingxing pointed to the city and said.

Yi Xiaodao fixed his eyes and saw that the flags were waving outside the city, and people shouted and neighed. If it weren't for the plains outside the plug, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see the end at a glance.

Yi Xiaodao took the Siqing sword handed over by Qin Xiangqian and asked everyone: "Do you dare to kill this wave of soldiers and horses?" ”

Man Yong was the first to jump out: "Kill it directly?" Master! You don't have to capture it alive or something? ”

"No, you don't! Kill directly! If you kill a hundred, find a beautiful little girl in the Central Plains to be your daughter-in-law! Yi Xiaodao quipped.

"How's that going to work? Kill a thousand, or I won't be at ease with that daughter-in-law! ”

"Hahahahahaha~"

Man Yong's words drew a burst of laughter from everyone.

"Li Dingxing, you are at the head of the city, specializing in shooting enemy generals, Yi Xiaoling, Li Dingxing's safety will be handed over to you. And..."

"And sister-in-law, I understand!" Yi Xiaoling grabbed the conversation and said.

Yi Xiaodao smiled lightly, turned to everyone and said, "As for everyone, I don't have anything to arrange. If you don't have enough strength to fight, retreat to the city in time, don't be reckless and impulsive! ”

"Good!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and when they were about to leave, they were suddenly stopped by a shout.

"Everyone, wait!"
