Chapter Seventy-Four: A Glimmer of Life (3)
Late at night, inside the Wu army camp.
"Li Mou's words are all here, if the governor doesn't believe it, he can make your 100,000 Jiangdong sons freeze to death here, or, fight, as long as you enter this Yong'an, then Lu Xun will not be able to compete with the general." Li Yan was dressed in black and spoke slowly in the Wu army camp.
Obviously, this Li Yan is not afraid that this Quan Cong will not believe in himself, even if this Quan Cong does not believe it, he will not dare to kill himself here, because this Li Yan is Quan Cong's only choice now, of course, this is the absolute military superiority that brings this Li Yan's solid confidence, only under the sword, there will be effective diplomacy.
Quan Cong is still silent for a long time, but he never knows what choice to make, if he doesn't believe in Li Yan, he can't wait for reinforcements, he can only let the 100,000 troops freeze to death in the wilderness, if he believes in Li Yan, if he falls into this Li Yan's plan, Dongwu will no longer have the right to speak in the army, after all, the previous battle of Xiaoshi Bridge has not eased up for many years.
"If the governor doesn't believe it, then Li Yan will retire this time." Li Yan said again, and after that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Quan Cong finally spoke: "Why is General Li so anxious? Wait for Pontus to think for a moment, making a decision. ”
The candle flame in the tent began to shake slightly, and slowly out of the tent was only the light in front of the door, and in the flickering tent, Quan Cong, Ma Zhong, and Li Yan all fell into a state of speechlessness, and a cool autumn breeze blew the leaves outside the tent to make a salsa sound.
After a while, Ma Zhong took the lead in speaking: "General Li, if we all want to believe you, you have to show some sincerity, otherwise how can my family governor believe you?" ”
When Li Yan heard this, his originally gentle face suddenly turned bloody, and bloodshot was almost visible in his eyes, and he was furious and asked, "Sincerity? General Ma, what is sincerity? Is it my nephew's life or my Li Yan's infamy for thousands of generations? Ben will go out of the city on a starry night and enter the camp alone, what is the sincerity you want! ”
Ma Zhong was overwhelmed by this sudden shout, but Quan Cong immediately waved his hand to signal Ma Zhong to shut up, and Ma Zhong was speechless.
"Governor, since this is the case, you still don't believe me Li Yan, then I will leave, but just watch these 100,000 Jiangdong sons and daughters freeze to death here!" Li Yan waved his sleeves angrily, got up again and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Quan Cong.
"General Li, General Ma Zhong is also straightforward, in this way, Bendu will believe you!" Quan Cong looked at Li Yan, who was about to leave angrily, and immediately said, "We will make an appointment now, do you think it?" ”
Li Yan turned around and immediately arched his hand and said: "It's not that Li Yan is unwilling, but the general is really suspicious of me, if the general really believes in me, why bother to stalemate for a long time?" My son Li Feng will return in ten days, I wonder if the general will have ten days of military rations? ”
Quan Cong immediately signaled to Ma Zhong and asked him to quickly persuade Li Yan to come back and sit down, and personally pour wine to apologize.
"General Li, it's not a secret, there is only these five days' food in the lower army, and most of the rest is on General Ling Tong's iron-masked ghost." Quan Cong said at this time.
Li Yan shook his head: "Dudu, I must last until ten days, I have no nephew, and I must not live without this son again." ”
Quan Cong nodded: "As for the matter of grain and grass, the governor of Pontus can personally dispatch it, but after these ten days, can the general sacrifice the city?" ”
Li Yan nodded: "I have investigated, ten days later, just Xu Zhi changed his guard, then Zhao Tong is not afraid, only ten days later, it is the best time." ”
Quan Cong immediately stroked his palm and said, "Okay! Then ten days later, when will the general have an hour? ”
"Hey. If he had seen a red flag raised at the head of the city, the general would have lowered the drawbridge for the general despite the siege of the city. Li Yan still said without any expression.
"Good! Then the governor of Bendu made a decision with the general! ”
"It's a deal!"
Wu State Water Army Battalion.
Ling Tong was reading a book on the iron-faced ship, the Shu army had not launched an offensive for several days, and he really couldn't think of a good plan to break through for a while, so he could only read at night, trying to find a way to break through the siege from the book.
"General! There is MeSign! A sergeant immediately removed the sharp arrow that had been pinned to the ship and tied a bag to it.
"Get it quickly!"
Ling Tong couldn't wait to open it, but he saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked closely at the clever plan in the bag, and at the last moment, his brows suddenly loosened, and he said with great joy: "Soldiers, the governor of Boyan still has ten days to arrive, and today he has taught me the way to get out of trouble, don't worry!" ”
In the early morning of the next day, Luo Xian, who was squatting at the mouth of Qutang Gorge, unexpectedly found that these iron-masked ghost ships he was besieging were actually slowly docking, and the soldiers on the ships almost went ashore one after another.
"General? They're not going to pass through here, are they? One of Luo Xian's personal soldiers asked.
"No way, unless he really wants to climb the mountain! All give me vigilance, I must not relax, Wu Jun has a change today, if you let go of a Wu Jun, only you ask! Luo Xian ordered.
But until noon, on the iron-faced ghost ship, the Wu army was still going down, and even Ling Tong got off the boat and began to build a stove on the shore, and soon the smoke of the Wu army's rice had begun to spread around.
"What's going on with this Wu State Water Army? How did you start eating at Yamaguchi? Gong Jie at the top of the mountain was puzzled for a while, and looked at the smoke drifting around with the autumn wind, as well as the aroma of food that invaded his nostrils.
"General? They don't want to go over the mountain, do they? The cliffs of this Wuling Mountain Range are everywhere, shouldn't they plan to save up enough physical strength to climb over? ”
"Fart!" Gong Jie glared at the officer who was speaking, and scolded in passing: "Are you fucking a Muggle?" The Wuling Mountains wait until the winter freezes so that Lao Tzu shivers, you expect them to start turning from here, it's a blessing not to get lost, and they will fucking climb the mountain. ”
The officer who was scolded shouldn't have fought back, and just looked at his helmet with a smile and was slapped by Gong Jie.
What's even more helpless is that the Wu army has been eating on the shore for seven or eight days, and the number of this stove does not look like the number of 50,000 people at all, but like the scene of 100,000 people eating together, and by the eighth day, even Luo Xian began to doubt his judgment, this Ling Tong would not really take these 50,000 sailors over the Wuling Mountains, right? After all, this Ling Tong has been on the shore for seven or eight days, and he has not been on the ship.
Although Luo Xian didn't dare to relax his vigilance, he couldn't stand the soldiers under him, he had already started hip-hopping, and he knew that he was on duty at night to play haha, and even more, he was on duty after drinking.
Finally, such laxity brought them a disaster that bordered on despair.
On the eighth day, the commander on duty at night drank a lot of wine, stared at the post on the deck in a daze, and before he could open his eyes, he was almost blinded by countless torches lit in an instant, and directly rushed to the eight iron-faced ghost ships, this kind of sprint is the kind of indomitable sprint, and even the soldiers of these eight ships have come with a mortal mentality from the beginning of the ship, and this kind of movement also woke up Luo Xian in an instant.
"What's the situation!" Luo Xian didn't even have time to put on the armor, he put on a thin pajamas, and immediately went out of the cabin to check, only to see that the eight iron-masked ghosts were rampage, and even within the range of entering the bed crossbow, the armor on duty did not notice it, but instead talked about wine.
Luo Xian scolded, kicked the sergeant away, immediately drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "The Wu army has broken through!" Fast! Press on! ”
It's too late, it's too late, these eight iron-masked ghosts struggled to crash into the Zhiyuan locked in the middle of the gorge at almost the fastest speed, only to see them shouting in unison in an instant: "Die for General Ling!" For Your Majesty! ”
After a while, there was a burst of loosening of the iron cables on the Zhiyuan, and it was obvious that the trebuchet was no longer able to produce effective damage at such a close range.
"Upper crossbow!" Luo Xian is also a famous general in the end, and immediately transferred the crossbowmen out, but the giant shields on all sides of the iron-masked ghost played a lot of protective roles, and these ships that struggled to collide with the Zhiyuan finally dug a huge hole in the Zhiyuan, followed by a loud noise, these Wu troops who fought desperately regardless of life and death actually tore the Zhiyuan alive from the middle at the cost of the lives of the eight iron-masked ghosts and all the soldiers on board, and the huge movement finally woke up Gong Jie, who was sleeping soundly on the mountain.
"It's broken! Hurry up and release the arrows! Gong Jie was also wearing thin pajamas, and immediately got up to check the movement at the foot of the mountain, and was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and when the autumn wind blew, he suddenly only felt a chill down his spine, so let Ling Tong and his navy go, how should he explain to Li Xian when he went back, he could only quickly remedy his loopholes.
"Hurry up and release the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! For the first time, Gong Jie felt a hurried order, and the Divine Arm Archer, who had already relaxed his guard, was finally awakened by the sound of the mountaintop, coupled with Gong Jie's shouts, he also came to his senses and started a three-stage shooting.
Ling Tong finally spoke: "Resist General Ben!" Broken gorge! We'll be able to go home! ”
The eighteen building ships behind him once again galloped out like arrows from the string, and at this time the mouth of the gorge was already wide open, and it was no longer something that the divine arm bow and bed crossbow could stop, although Luo Xian had already commanded the bed crossbow and stone throwing of the Dingyuan to smash wildly, completely sinking six iron-masked ghosts, and one was stuck alive and dead in the gorge by the Dingyuan, and the rest of the iron-masked ghosts had already rushed out of the gorge under the command of Ling Tong.
"Hahahaha! Go back and tell your home governor! General Ben is going to laugh at him for the rest of his life! Ling Tong laughed loudly.
Luo Xian was extremely angry when he heard this, and hit the deck with a punch angrily, only to feel that his achievements were in vain, and he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly: "I have a negative governor!" After that, he was about to draw his sword and kill himself, but he was stopped by the surrounding soldiers, and immediately stepped forward to persuade: "General Luo, this time the harvest is not small, almost abolished half of the Dongwu naval army, the governor will definitely be considerate of the general, not to mention, last night should be the first warning of Gong Jie on the mountain, we didn't even have a warning, the fault is not the general!" ”
Luo Xian was speechless for a long time, so he had to sigh.....
