Chapter 45: A Powerful Enemy

After a while, Huang Zhong said: "The enemy will not attack the city before dawn, so the young master should go and rest." ”

I shook my head: "Where can I sleep, or the old general will take a rest." ”

Huang Zhong smiled: "Okay. Then he sat on the ground and put his cloak around his body, and in a moment, he snored like thunder.

I secretly laughed to myself, this old general is really a big-hearted person who is not confused by things. And I still have to practice.

The enemy army in the west did not attack the city, and after shouting for half an hour, they gradually converged in one place, gradually extinguished the torches, and fell silent, while in the east, there was a light and dull voice, that is, the enemy arranged an ambush of troops also rushing here.

I guessed right, fortunately, I was not intimidated by the enemy and fled overnight, otherwise I would have been a prisoner at this moment.

Who is the opponent? Can you even guess my hesitation and weakness? I felt the chill again.

The soldiers at the head of the city, except for those who were on guard, all slept at their posts. I also wanted to close my eyes, but when my eyes closed, I was startled again: "Someone, go tell Zhao Zheng to prevent the enemy from coming in through the tunnel." ”

The herald agreed, and I went "fishing" at the head of the city with my eyes open and closed for a while. I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes violently, but I found that it was already dawn, and I was astonished to think that I had really slept on this cold city before the great battle, and was anxious to see the enemy, but only surrounded the small city and did not attack. And Huang Zhong had already gotten up and was patrolling the city. He bent over and said something to a crossbow-wielding general, the morning light shining on the snow-white hair, the roots like silver threads.

I breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that my whole body was sore and painful, this heavy armor looked safe and majestic, but the weight was really not something that a frail person like me could easily bear.

"Old General." I called Huang Zhong and got up and walked over.

Huang Zhong turned around and smiled: "Okay, young master, I thought you wouldn't dare to close your eyes all night, but I didn't expect that before this big battle, you would still be able to sleep." ”

I blushed: "It's not like you're infected." What about the enemy forces? ”

Huang Zhong said: "Maybe he was afraid of us, so he didn't dare to attack for a while." ”

I shook my head, knowing that Huang Zhong was deliberately looking down on the other party when he said this. But why did the enemy come with open fire all night, but instead of attacking overnight, he had to wait for dawn? What is the reason for this?

If I come to lead the army, and I know that the enemy army will be in the city, I will definitely sneak attack, and the people will pick up the bells, and sneak to the city, and with a shout, the army will move together, attack it by surprise, and take advantage of its unpreparedness, this is the catechesis of the attack, how can I do the opposite everywhere?

No, no, no, it's not that he doesn't want to attack, but he can't do it, last night they must have been tired after a long march, so they only beat the drums and shouted, and did not attack, they just suppressed us from the momentum, so that we did not dare to attack, so that they could calmly go down to the village--of course, if they could scare me away, it would be more convenient.

Thinking about this reason, I can't help but be annoyed, if Mr. Kong Ming is here, he will definitely see through this mechanism, even if there are few people in the city, he will take the initiative to send them a head-on attack. But I'm still tender!

But at this time, it was too late to say anything, and there was only one way to meet the enemy's attack head-on.

As the day dawned, the enemy saw more and more clearly, and when the day dawned, there were not as many enemy troops as they did in the night, and in order to frighten me, they lit about twice as many torches. However, for the time being, there are no more than 20,000 enemies in this mountainous area, and the quail is like a leaf in the vast ocean, which seems to be overturned by the waves at any moment.

The enemy drummed, the big sword shook gently, the flag door opened, and fifty rattan players and fifty sword and axe players rushed out. The soldiers of the river are accustomed to using the long sword, and since it is the rattan player and the knife and axe player dispatched, it seems that the enemy army is about to go out.

When this mysterious adversary finally appeared, I felt a strange thrill in my heart. After seeing the rattan card, the two war horses strolled out leisurely, not like before the murderous battle of the two armies, but like in their own yard. At present, he is a scribe, with a strange appearance, long sleeves and fluttering, and he has a bit of a fairy wind and bones, and he is only about forty years old. Behind him was a military general, wearing a black iron pocket and black armor, holding a spear in one hand and covering his eyes with the other hand to block the sun in the east.

Huang Zhong suddenly shouted: "Yan Yanming! ”

The black-clothed general raised his head, and his eyes ejaculated: "Huang Hansheng!" ”

There seemed to be a small burst of sparks in the air, and it was a clash between peerless masters. At this moment, I noticed that Huang Zhong's robe trembled violently.

But the person who attracted my attention more was not the terrible Yan Xing who had awakened me in my dreams, and even, at this moment, in the silent confrontation between Huang Hansheng and Yan Xing, all my eyes were attracted to the scribe in front of Yan Xing.

This person, at first glance, does not have any power, but the more closely he looks, the more he feels that he cannot see clearly, cannot see through, and seems to be floating high in the sky. Although I did not speak, I have deeply believed that this person must be the person who has made us slump and embarrassed these days. Only such a person is worthy of my expectations of him. He gives people the feeling that he is completely the same as Kong Ming's water mirror, what kind of experience and cultivation must be passed to form such a gorgeous and peerless ethereal posture.

I finally spoke first: "Who is Your Excellency?" Why are you willing to rebel and resist my Han Heavenly Soldiers? ”

The man smiled slightly, and said in a faint voice that seemed not to eat the fireworks of the world: "In Xia Runan Meng Jian, are you Liu Adou who assisted Kong Ming after Liu Xuande's illness?" ”

Runan Meng Jian, is it Mr.'s friend Meng Gongwei? My heart was stirring. The opponent who set up a lot of tricks against me and made me restless in sleep turned out to be Mr. Kong Ming's former friend. When Mr. Kong Ming was in Longzhong, he had four friends, namely Xu Shu, who had supported his father, Cui Zhouping, who taught me Dayu Dingdingtu, and Shi Guangyuan, who was the captain of Cao Wei's tired official to the agricultural school, and Meng Gongwei in front of him.

I had imagined that my opponents might be many people, I had thought of Sima Yi, I had thought of Zhang Ji Guo Huai, and even Deng Ai and the unborn Zhong Hui, but I never thought that I would be an old friend of my husband. Although in history, this Meng Jian was the assassin of Liangzhou after Zhang Ji and Huan Wen, and the commander-in-chief of the military and political power of Liangzhou.

How could it be him? He is an old friend of Mr. Kong Ming. I have the impression that these friends of his, who could not have been my rivals, were so good, as good as the clouds in the sky, so good that they were not stained with any trace of the world. I know they're in Cao Ying, but I always subconsciously think that even if I do meet them, they will show mercy to my men, and maybe they will join me. But he, he tried to put me to death several times.

Mr. Kong Ming had four friends that day, Xu Shu first followed his father, and then fell into Cao Ying, Meng Jian and Shi Tao were also in Cao Ying, and Cui Zhou Ping did not help each other, but he also had a close friendship with Sima in Hanoi. Could it be that these former friends, sir, will not be able to meet us in battle?

I tried to calm my confused thoughts, and replied loudly: "It is Liu Chan, since Your Excellency is a friend of Mr., why are you willing to be a thief?" ”

Meng Gongwei ignored me: "How old are you this year?" ”

He didn't answer me, but asked me what I was doing at my age. But I replied, "Fifteen." As soon as the words came out, I knew that I was wrong, my age, no matter where I put it, would give people a feeling that it was difficult for a little hairy child to trust, and he asked me like this, obviously thinking of himself as an elder and looking down on me.

Sure enough, Meng Gongwei laughed: "Fifteen, hehe, fifteen years old, Kong Ming, Kong Ming, you will have to suffer in the future." ”

I must not lose to him in momentum, I represent the Han Dynasty, leading the army on behalf of my father, how can I lose morale. He laughed, and I laughed, because the child's voice was not extinguished, and the voice was so sharp that it overshadowed him.

Meng Gongwei said unhappily: "What are you laughing at?" ”

I said loudly, "Whatever your Excellency laughs at me, I will laugh at your Excellency!" You deceived me when I was young, but I laughed at your old age, and it was all in vain! You don't know the destiny of heaven, you don't argue about good and evil, you don't help the big man, but you help the thief! If you are the enemy of the world, you will have Zhang Yi's talent and Pang Juan's wisdom, and you will not be able to escape defeat! ”

My words drew applause from all the soldiers at the head of the quail city, and for a while, the drums and cheers rang out.

Meng Gongwei smiled indifferently, and his face was much calmer: "The person next to him didn't learn, but he learned a sharp mouth, and it didn't cost him a piece of his heart." But at such a young age, what destiny do you know? Since ancient times, has there been an immortal country? The Immortal King? For more than hundreds of years, the two Han Dynasty have run out of gas, and today only the virtuous live there. After your father's pseudonym Han family, he fled to Bashu, his body was difficult to support, Jingzhou has been lost, Guan Yu has died, the famous generals are all old, only the Kong Ming Duzhi Building remains, how long can it be supported? You are young, you don't hide in Yizhou, you can enjoy happiness with peace of mind, you dare to go north to Yongliang, and fight the strong with weakness, what is it if you don't seek your own death? Now that you are surrounded by me, if you don't surrender, how when? ”

I snorted and scolded with a broken face: "Shameless man, willing to be a thief, and so many things to say, Mr. Delusion and you have an acquaintance." What kind of skills do you have, just use it? The descendants of the Han Dynasty, there is no one who is afraid of death! ”

Meng Gongwei said: "It's a big talk. Do you know that Wei Yan was poisoned by arrows and was already dead, Guan Ping was led into the Valley of Despair, and there was no way to escape, Jiang Wei was surrounded by our army, and his defeat was only in the blink of an eye. You are trapped in a lonely city, there is no way to escape, my lord raised an army of 300,000 in Tongguan, stormed Chang'an, Kong Ming is also difficult to be alone, if you surrender at this time, you can also get half a life of wealth, if not, I give an order, this small earth city, jade and stone are burned! ”

I laughed and said: "Your big words only deceived others, I got the three generals Wei, Guan, and Jiang overnight to pass the book, and all of them were safe, but it was you, the labor army attacked from afar, and your life was in a moment, and you dared to say more!" ”

What I said is actually a lie, since the division of the army, where have I gotten any information from the three generals, but no matter whether it is true or not, I can't believe that Meng Gongwei is true.

Meng Gongwei said leisurely: "Okay, if you refuse to surrender, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Kong Ming, Kong Ming, I heard that you are in Shuzhong, working day and night, and you are tired, I don't know that my attack this time will make you grow a few more gray hairs! ”

He turned his horse back to the team, and suddenly turned back and said, "Do you think that with me, they may return here before you are captured?" But without waiting for me to answer, he rode away.

Yan Xing was on the battlefield independently, and slowly raised his spear: "Siege!" ”
