Chapter 34: Blood and Tears

"Drums! Pound hard! Li Xian shouted above the city.

For a while, the drums in Longcheng were loud, and the mountain passes on both sides actually formed the sound of thousands of troops and horses, which made Dai Ling, the cavalry general who was originally pinning Li Xian under the city, a little flustered, and quickly ordered all the cavalry to stabilize their positions to avoid Li Xian's surprise attack from the city.

Longcheng City Head.

Ma Tan broke through with the only remaining 500 personal soldiers, but encountered the Dai Ling cavalry army formation that was clamping down on Li Xian in front, if it were not for the general Huang Xian to sacrifice his life to seize a war horse, to assist Ma Tan to escape to Longcheng, only afraid that Ma Tan had died in the formation, in order not to open the city gate, Wang Ping could only use the grappling hook rope to forcibly pull Ma Tan to the city, the ridiculous is the main general of 25,000 people, and now only one person is left to return to this Longcheng.

"Take General Ma down to rest!" Li Xian ordered, obviously he didn't want to say a word to this stubborn defeated general, and still commanded the defense on his own.

.....

The Wei army battalion.

"A good golden cicada came out of its shell, so that Ma Jian escaped again!" Le Lin said indignantly.

"Nephew worry-free, that Li Xian has never been out of the city to fight, even if Ma Tan broke through, he has not supported, I expect that he must not have many soldiers in the city, at most not more than 10,000, as long as our army tries its best to attack the city, it will definitely be able to take it within three days." Zhang He pinched his beard and said.

"If the city is attacked, the little nephew is willing to be the vanguard!" Lelin arched.

"Good! Let them see their nephew's martial arts today! You take our infantry, go to the front to replace Dai Ling, and attack hard! Even if he is a piece of iron, he will gnaw him a tael or two! ”

"The last general obeys!"

.....

Longcheng City Head.

"General, Zhang He has changed formation! Don't you want to attack! Wang Ping arched his hand, his heart was shocked, he knew that there were only more than 10,000 soldiers in this city, and if the Wei army completely spared no cost, it would not be a fantasy to break the city in three days.

Unexpectedly, a slight smile appeared on Li Xian's originally calm face, and then slowly increased, and then laughed.

"Why is the general laughing!" Wang Ping was also a little confused for a while.

"General Wang, don't worry, with me, Longcheng will be fine!" Only then did Li Xian pull out the sword at his waist, pointed at the sergeants who were changing formations under the city, and said loudly to his own sergeants: "Soldiers! Under the city are the traitors who slaughtered our people! They think we are lambs to the slaughter, so let them see today who the real wolves are! For the sake of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives! Avenge them! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! For a while, the tsunami-like sound of the mountains on the city wall swept in, and Gong Jie had already led the Divine Arm Archers to prepare for the fire, just waiting for Le Lin to lead the army into the firing range.

After the change of formation was completed, Le Lin led the infantry to cover the military formation with shields, quickly reached the bottom of the ten-meter fault, and immediately ordered: "Build a ladder for me!" ”

"General! Ladder! Out of reach, ah! Before the soldier could finish speaking, he was shot through the head by a sharp arrow.

Le Lin immediately asked, "What's the situation?" Why can't the ladder stand go up! ”

"General, this fault is too high, there is no such long ladder at all! And I haven't heard of the rain of arrows above Longcheng! Assault can't be done! ”

Le Lin was furious when she heard this: "There is no ladder? Then give me a ladder! Testimonials for retirees! Ben is going to be the first to get there! ”

When the soldiers heard this, they said, "Yes! "Hurriedly formed a human ladder with shield soldiers, and only then did he barely reach the wall of Longcheng.

"General Zhang has an order, and Le Lin's troops are withdrawn."

Le Lin was about to attack the city just now, and when she heard the words, she was puzzled for a long time, and it took a while to come to her senses, so she had to retreat to the Chinese army with her headquarters.

"Uncle! What a situation! The disciples were about to attack the city, so why did they order the troops to be collected? Le Lin said indignantly.

Zhang He shook his head and replied: "I sent you there today, it's not for a strong attack at all, the height of the cloud ladder can't be raised, and if you want to attack, it's even more fantastical, not to mention that they still have that kind of invulnerable armor, how can this be overcome?" ”

"Uncle, is there still a way?" Le Lin looked at the world's number one player again.

Zhang He said: "The general has a plan, but ....."

"But what?" Le Lin was already in a hurry, and by this time Zhang He would still have to sell Guanzi.

"There will be a law, he will definitely fight!" Zhang He said: "Didn't our army take many prisoners in Nanshan? The general is like this, I think he will definitely go out of the city to meet the battle. ”

After hearing this, Le Lin immediately broke out cold sweat on her forehead, and she only felt that this method was too damaging, but she wanted to refuse a little.

"Report! General Zhang, Shanggui County Guard, General Guo Huai's blood book! ”

Zhang He was shocked when he heard this: "Hurry up!" Immediately disassembled, looked, shocked, "Why is it so tragic!" ”

Le Lin hurriedly took the letter, until he read it, he couldn't cry, that Guo Huai has been out of food for more than three days, the war horses in the city have been eaten up, yesterday he personally beheaded his concubine, for the public to share the food, only to stabilize the heart of the army, the words are fierce, if Zhang He can not break the city in three days, he Guo Huai can only be martyred.

Le Lin said: "General Guo is loyal and martyrdom, how can we not do our best to tie those prisoners to the front of the battle!" "Then he went out of the big tent and came to the bottom of Longcheng.

"The guards of the city listen! If you don't dare to go out of the city to fight, it's the rats! Didn't you see it clearly! Today, I will show you how these captives died! Le Lin shouted loudly, and then with a knife down, blood gushed and heads fell to the ground.

Longcheng City Head.

"General! This Zhang He is too deceitful, even if our army does not defend the city, it is not afraid of him, why bother to defend here! Wang Ping said again.

"General Wang! If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan. Li Xian said again, "Don't fight!" ”

"Could it be that our army watched these soldiers die under the city walls for no reason!" Wang Ping was indignant, he was looking at these soldiers from Sichuan at the moment, which one didn't think of reviving the Han dynasty before joining the army, but because of the general, he became a prisoner at this time.

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it! They just did it on purpose, don't you understand! Li Xian once again stopped Wang Ping's impulsive move.

Gong Jie still didn't speak, but he just pressed his teeth and forcibly held back the tears in his eyes, but the soldiers guarding the city at the head of the city all had tears in their eyes.

......

The slanting sun of the Gobi will shine the blood in front of the battle is extremely red, Le Lin's behavior of killing prisoners before the battle, has lasted from day to afternoon, has killed more than 5,000 people, and then look at the city wall, Wang Ping because of a long time of holding back tears, at this moment has been bleeding tears, but I don't know who sang the tune of Xiongguan Mandao really like iron in the formation, and the three armies are at the head of this Longcheng city, under this bloody sun, echo the voice, the scene is tragic and abnormal for a while.

"General!" Wang Ping had already knelt down at this time, and cried suddenly, "I, Wang Ping, am definitely not a person who disobeys the general's orders, but Zhang He slaughters compatriots like this, is it tolerable or unbearable, I can't fight today, I can't fight tomorrow, when can I fight, if I can't sword this thief, what face does my Wang Ping have to live in the world!" ”

"General Wang, hurry up!" Li Xian watched Wang Ping kneel down and quickly helped him up, "General Wang, listen to Li's words, as long as you wait until the prime minister's army comes back and Shanggui is broken, I guarantee that our army will definitely be able to fight for a while!" ”

Wang Ping shook his head silently: "General.... That's all me.... Son of the Great Man....."

Li Xian also cried: "General, these people behind me are also the sons of the Han Dynasty, I can't let the general fall into the same situation as them, and now, our army can only rely on this terrain to defend it!" ”

"Will.... General, Wang .... Wang Ping lost his temper. Wang Ping immediately wiped away the tears on his face, "General, can I beat the drum?" ”

"If the general feels uncomfortable, beat the drum and see off those sons."

Wang Ping nodded tearfully and went straight to the drum, but a generation of famous generals could only rely on constantly waving drumsticks to vent the depression in their chests.

The blood and tears in his eyes did not stop for a moment with the waving drumsticks, until his arms were no longer sensational. The sound of drums accompanied by the tune of remembering Qin'e continued to echo and hover above Longcheng.

"General, Zhang He's envoy, here again."

"What did he bring with him this time?" Li Xian asked without raising his head.

"He brought a women's outfit." Li Xian was taken aback, "Good guy, take me as Sima Yi, I don't have the cheekiness of him, pull it down and cut it down." ”

"Yes."

.......

Zhang He looked at the head of Longcheng City, which still had no movement that day, beat his horse to the front of the battle, looked at the city wall from afar, and sighed long: "This son is really a good general in the world!" I'm afraid that it will be difficult for our army to cross this city. ”

Le Lin arched his hand and asked: "General, if you kill prisoners like this, you won't go to war, and the general will not go to war if you send women's clothes, and it is not advisable to attack by force, our army is in a dilemma, what should we do?" ”

Zhang He's voice was obviously much quieter: "You will kill another day tomorrow, if this person doesn't come out, we can only go back to Chencang, it's better than being trapped here." ”

Le Lin was puzzled: "Could it be that the general won't attack?" ”

Zhang He said: "General Le, this plan is to retreat as advance, our army pretends to retreat, then Li Xian will come to chase, and I will ambush in the middle of the road, it will definitely be successful." ”

Le Lin was also a little shaken at the moment: "General, is this plan really feasible?" In the pocket array that day, Li Xian was not in the trap, and he was not in the trap today, so why did he withdraw from the army, he would definitely be in the trap? ”

Zhang He said with a smile: "Even if he Li Xian can control the field again, he can't stand the soldiers' desire for revenge, the situation is compelling, he will definitely come to chase, and he can't help but not pursue." ”

Le Lin nodded suspiciously, and according to what Zhang He said, he began to kill prisoners in the morning and killed until noon, and then looked at it, there were really no prisoners to kill, and the head of Longcheng City could not see the slightest movement, so he had to wait in the battle.

"General Zhang He's order! The whole army retreated and withdrew to Chencang! ”

"Order!"
