While Chen Qingzhi was pondering, the sixteen dead soldiers personally selected by Zhong Jing were really dead.

All of them were suicides, and not a single one survived after being besieged by enemy troops.

This surprised Tang Jun.

Isn't it good to be alive?

But they don't understand at all, what is Wei Wushu, what is the Great Wei Dead!

Before they died, these sixteen people still remembered in their minds what His Majesty had said.

His Majesty said that he would return a peaceful and prosperous world to all the people of the world.

They can't see the peaceful and prosperous world in the future, but for the sake of His Majesty the Emperor, they can go to the soup and go to the fire, even if they die, they will not hesitate.

Time flies, and at dawn, only Zhong Jing broke through the blockade and came to the Wei army camp.

But it stopped there.

He was covered with scars, some of which had already hurt his meridians and intestines, that is, he couldn't survive.

In his hand, His Majesty's letter was firmly grasped.

Before I died, I only heard a lot of noisy sounds, but these voices sounded so delightful,

"It seems to be General Zhong?"

"It's really General Zhong!"

"General Zhong, wake up!"

“”

Zhong Jing passed away with a smile.

In addition to the most senior generals such as Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming, almost all the generals who followed Zhao Changqing from the beginning of guarding Chang'an were dead and wounded, and there were few of them.

The cruelty of war is much more than that.

Chen Qingzhi heard that Zhong Jing had fallen outside the tent and went to see what was going on in person.

Probing his pulse, Chen Qingzhi sighed, "Bury General Zhong thickly!"

Suddenly, at this moment, he observed Zhong Jing's vision, and from Zhong Jing's firmly clenched hand, he got the letter written by the emperor himself.

Chen Qingzhi was ecstatic.

After he ordered his soldiers to bury Zhong Jing, he went to the camp to carefully analyze what the emperor wanted to pass on to him.

Zuo Buqun only had 150,000 troops, which was not enough to trap Chen Qingzhi's army.

Since they have a conspiracy, they must need a lot of troops.

But where do these forces come from?

It must be transferred from Deng Xia and the others.

At this moment, Deng Xia and the others must try their best to help Zuo Buqun.

In other words, the direction in which the two of them are stationed must be empty of troops.

If an elite army were allowed to attack their camp at this time, they would definitely not be able to come to the rescue in time.

In this way, they will be able to burn all their food and grass.

Although the reinforcements of the Tang Army are coming in a steady stream, supplies have not been sent here for a long time.

If they burned their grain and grass at this time, they would definitely jump over the wall in a hurry and desperately chase and intercept the Wei army.

Once they do this, the pressure on Zhao Changqing's side will be much less, and he will be able to wait for an opportunity to break through.

This is currently the most cost-effective and cost-effective approach.

But this strategy lacks one of the most important links, that is, who will attract the attention of the enemy army?

Chen Qingzhi thought about it for a long time, and finally made a heart-wrenching decision.

This decision is likely to put an end to his career.

But in order to win the battle, he has no regrets.

Chen Qingzhi had a close general named Niu Ben.

This manpower is infinite, with the power of a tiger and a wolf, and difficult tasks such as attacking cities and grabbing land, generally speaking, are handed over to him.

Now, Chen Qingzhi wants him to carry out an extremely difficult task, "Niu Ben, Your Majesty is trapped, the army is unstable, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to let you go into danger." ”

Niu Ben said righteously: "Although the general orders, I Niu Ben will definitely complete the task!"

Chen Qingzhi looked at his expression, a little unbearable, turned his back, and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to go, Ben Shuai can find someone else." ”

Niu Ben patted his chest and said: "What's the matter, general, why are you so spitting today? Your Majesty is surrounded, and we, who are courtiers, naturally have nothing to say, and swear to save Your Majesty to the death!"

Chen Qingzhi took a deep breath, turned around and hammered Niu Ben's chest, and said word by word: "Ben Shuai is asking you to die, do you dare to go?"

When Niu Ben heard the word 'send to death,' he froze on the spot, and after a while, he laughed and said: "Hey! Although the general commands, I am afraid of everything, but I am not afraid of death!"

Chen Qingzhi nodded heavily at her and told Niu Ben about the top-secret plan.

An hour later.

Niu Ben led the team on the expedition.

Chen Qingzhi's eyes.

When the army was out of the camp, he burst into tears and murmured: "Brothers, if you want to seek revenge underground, come to me!

Niu Benqin led an army of 50,000 and rushed straight to the enemy camp.

His army is to send him to death.

Of course, the soldiers in the army don't know, and the only people who know are oxen.

After Niu Ben and the Tang army started a battle, Chen Qingzhi led 100,000 cavalry to start a sneak attack on Deng Xia's camp.

Zhao Changqing, who was trapped in the valley, felt a fight on the outskirts of the valley.

He frowned deeply and secretly guessed, "Even if Chen Qingzhi didn't receive my secret letter, he wouldn't be able to break through at this time, right?"

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, Zhao Changqing does not intend to delay.

He gathered his army and began to break through to the perimeter, intending to join forces with reinforcements.

However, Zhao Changqing didn't know that this army was actually here to send them to death.

Their army, helping the trapped army, waded through all the minefields.

Forcibly tore a hole for Zhao Changqing to break through.

It's a pity that after Zhao Changqing's army arrived, the 50,000 army had already been lost.

The oxen had also been killed.

knew that it was death, so he went to die brazenly, which was bold.

"What exactly is Chen Qingzhi doing? Why did he choose to send troops over at this time?"

Zhao Changqing looked at the corpses in front of him, and his heart was very depressed.

These soldiers shouldn't have died here!

After the enemy army finished solving the 50,000 army led by Niu Ben, they went to intercept Chen Qingzhi.

Because they received the war report, Chen Qingzhi went to steal his home.

Grain and grass were also burned.

This matter can be big or small, and there is no room for sloppiness, and they quickly dispatched troops to rush to the aid of the battalion.

This invisibly reduced Zhao Changqing's pressure.

After all the 50,000 horses were killed, Zhao Changqing was able to enter no man's land.

Although it has also experienced a hedge with the enemy, it is not an elite unit after all.

The news of Zhao Changqing's breakthrough, Zuo Buqun is an afterthought.

By the time it was known, it was too late.

In this battle, between Wei and Tang, it was barely a draw.

The Wei army suffered many casualties, but the Tang army's grain and grass were gone.

After Zhao Changqing returned to the barracks, Chen Qingzhi also returned safely from the enemy camp.

The Tang army, which rushed to the aid in the past, had an error in time and did not block Chen Qingzhi.

Zhao Changqing saw that he was covered in blood, and most of his arrogance disappeared in his heart, but he was still a little angry, "The tens of thousands of soldiers who died outside the unknown valley, I hope that you can give me a reasonable explanation." ”

Chen Qingzhi didn't intend to defend himself, because this matter was indeed decided privately without His Majesty's consent.

But the military situation cannot be delayed.

If you don't, Your Majesty's breakthrough will be extremely difficult.

He knelt down on one knee and said in grief: "The last will be guilty!"

Zhao Changqing said in a deep voice: "Yes, you are guilty! But before punishing the crime, I still want to ask, where is your sin! Why do you have this crime that you should not commit!"
