Chapter 163 The fog rises and the strong men walk, and the banner hunts and hunts the clouds

Things were as Li Hengchuan wished, and the night was really calm.

After the third watch, the Tiande army still did not move, and Li Hengchuan left with confidence and returned to the camp. However, the guards in the city did not relax, but tightened a little more to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Li Hengchuan's big tent was near the city gate.

Since Tiande launched a general offensive two days ago, in order to keep abreast of the battlefield situation and dispatch troops and horses, Li Hengchuan ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, resolutely set up the big tent near the city gate, and hung the commander's flag high, knowing the whole army.

This move made the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who were still in the gap respect, and they had no objections to Li Hengchuan's order. Because of this, in the two-day offensive and defensive battles, soldiers and horses from all walks of life were able to cooperate sincerely, fight bloodily, hold the crumbling front several times, and strive to ensure that Taiyuan is not lost.

As soon as the sky was dawning, the Nanqi soldiers who were resting on duty were still asleep. In the past few days, they have been fighting on the death line every day, and their physical strength, energy, and psychology have been exhausted, and as long as they find a place to sit, they can immediately fall into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a noisy sound sounded from not far away, and several soldiers suddenly bounced up from the ground, their eyes not yet opened, and they reached out to grab the knives and guns beside them. However, when a few people came to their senses, they found that it was not the Tiande army that attacked the city.

"What's going on? Huh? What's going on?"

I could vaguely see a white patch in front of me, it seemed that the morning fog had not long risen, and it was not too thick, but the distance of five hundred meters away had become very blurry.

A shout came from the crowd: "Go and invite General Li quickly! Let him come to the city quickly!"

"Yes!" there was a sound of footsteps, and someone hurried down the city.

Not long after, Li Hengchuan took Zhuang Xiaowei and other relatives to hurriedly climb to the top of the city.

"What's the matter? Why is it suddenly foggy?" Li Hengchuan's face was heavy, and the bun under his helmet looked a little messy, obviously because he hadn't had time to freshen up.

Li Chengde stepped forward: "The last general doesn't know. Looking at last night's celestial phenomena, there shouldn't be fog!"【#* *... Better, newer, faster]

Yang Tang on the side said: "This fog started very suddenly, it was very thin at the beginning, and everyone didn't care, but it was so thick after a while, it seems that this fog is even more powerful." ”

Li Hengchuan approached the edge of the city and looked down, the Tiande camp that was originally clearly visible had become blurred, and his brows furrowed tightly.

The sudden rise of the fog and the intensification of the momentum are undoubtedly worse for the defenders of the city, and it is a great disadvantage.

Especially at this time, the defenders of the city head are in short supply of bows and arrows, and the ballistas and trebuchets are also heavily damaged, these powerful weapons that can balance the enemy army of Tiande are already limited, and if they encounter heavy fog again, the defenders of the Southern Qi will be tantamount to a group of blind men, and the only sharp weapons in their hands will also lose their effectiveness.

The Tiande army only needed to take advantage of the fog to launch a few feints to exhaust the few arrows in the hands of the Southern Qi defenders. On the contrary, if the Southern Qi did not care about these and did not use bows and arrows, the Germans could take advantage of the situation to launch a real attack that day, and wait until they climbed the city in large numbers to engage in hand-to-hand combat, long-range weapons

It loses its value. In other words, the Tiande Army can be virtual or real, and completely occupy the initiative!

"General, what should I do?" None of the generals present were mediocre, Li Hengchuan could think of this, and they could naturally think of it too.

"General Li!" At this moment, Han Xueqing in the distance also led a group of people over, and his brows were also deeply furrowed: "The fog is sudden, and it is very disadvantageous to our army! Tiande people will never miss the opportunity, and will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the city, do you have a way to deal with it?"

Li Hengchuan shook his head and said, "Now I can only act at the opportunity!" immediately arrange for the foot knife men to squat on the city wall, once they find that the hook is on the wall, they will immediately find a way to cut off the hook as soon as possible, and organize the archers to retreat to the back wall, ready at any time!"

Han Xueqing said: "The archers are our only reliance, let them stay in the rear, won't they only be beaten passively?"

Li Hengchuan smiled bitterly: "Then what else do you say?"

Zhuang Xiaowei on the side suddenly said: "The last general has a way to probe the truth of heavenly virtue, so that our archers have a target!"

Li Hengchuan raised his eyebrows and said happily: "What is Xiaowei's clever plan?

Zhuang Xiaowei clenched his fists and said: "My subordinates are willing to lead my brothers all the way deep into the fog and probe the enemy with their bodies! The fog is full of invisible objects, and my subordinates can take people to sneak into the fog and lurk within the shooting range of our archers.

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was stunned, and Han Xueqing immediately praised: "This plan is wonderful! It's just ......."

Han Xueqing didn't say the next words, but the people present knew it.

Although this plan is wonderful, the brothers who leave the city are destined to go and never return! Not to mention that after these people speak out, they will inevitably be discovered by the Tiande army, and even the next arrow array will include them. Under the double threat, those who leave the city are almost dead.

Li Hengchuan was silent for a while, and shook his head resolutely: "This plan is absolutely unusable! How can I kill my comrades under the Southern Qi Arrow Array? This move is contrary to righteousness, and I, Li Hengchuan, disdain it! How can I let my brothers sacrifice even though I know that I am dead?"

Zhuang Xiaowei hurriedly said: "General! The great enemy is coming, the city is in danger, and after Taiyuan, I have a million soldiers and civilians, so Taiyuan must not be lost! Defend Taiyuan, this is the great righteousness! Sacrifice small righteousness to take great righteousness, this is what her husband does! You also know that with our current strength, if we passively defend, we can only sit back and wait for death! Only by taking a risk can we have a glimmer of life! Don't hesitate!"

On the side, Li Chengde said: "General! General Zhuang is right! Taiyuan must not be lost! However, General Zhuang is now the deputy general of Taiyuan, how can he take risks lightly? The last general is willing to replace the general and go out of the city to explore the enemy!"

As soon as Li Chengde spoke, several nearby generals asked for their lives.

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

Li Hengchuan had tears in his eyes, and swept over everyone in turn, his lips opened slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

The crowd knew that he had acquiesced.

But who to send out of the city is still a matter of choice

Think about it.

All the people present petitioned one after another, each stating their reasons.

Zhuang Xiaowei waved his hand and said: "This task is most suitable for me to complete, don't compete with me!"

He glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I was originally a Tianguan guard, and I should have been buried in the fire with my brothers a long time ago, but I was lucky to survive by my brothers with my own protection. Without me, the army will still have its own commander, and there will be no confusion in the rules, and without you, who will lead the soldiers under your command? Who else can be more familiar with the soldiers under your command than you?"

"General......

Li Chengde was about to say more, Zhuang Xiaowei patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "There is another point, everyone is far less suitable than me Zhuang Xiaowei! This mission is dead or alive, I, the dignified deputy general Taiyuan, will personally go out, so the brothers can be willing, right? Which of you can have such an advantage as mine? Therefore, you should not fight with me! Ben will go, it is the most suitable!"

As soon as he turned around, he hugged his fist towards Li Hengchuan and said, "General, time is running out, the fog has already filled the whole city, and if you wait any longer, you will lose the opportunity!" General! Give the order!"

Li Hengchuan stared at Zhuang Xiaowei deeply, with tears in his eyes, suddenly turned his back to him, and said in a loud voice: "Where is Zhuang Xiaowei, the deputy general of Taiyuan?"

"The last general!"

"I will order you to lead the army out of the city to explore the enemy! Help my Southern Qi Arrow Formation identify the target, there must be no mistake!"

"Obey the general's order!" Zhuang Xiaowei solemnly clenched his fists and turned away suddenly.

Behind him, Han Xueqing, Li Chengde, Yang Tang, and a group of generals and soldiers clasped their fists and saluted, watching Zhuang Xiaowei's figure disappear above the city.

Li Hengchuan stood with his hands in his hands, never looking back, and two lines of hot tears slowly flowed down his face.

Half an hour later, on the city wall, including Zhuang Xiaowei, a hundred Southern Qi soldiers walked down the rope along the city wall, and their figures slowly disappeared in the thick fog.

On the city wall, dense archers lined up neatly, looking ahead, waiting for the battle.

After a while, the ropes at the head of the city shook one after another, and all the soldiers had landed, and the soldiers at the head of the city immediately stepped forward and pulled the ropes back. In this way, the soldiers of the lower city had no way to retreat.

In the camp of Tiande.

Yelu Tyron sat on his horse, and on either side of him, seven beast masters and hundreds of generals from various tribes were surrounded by him.

"Your Majesty is really blessed with great blessings, and the wolf god blesses you!" The eagle lord Coco was full of excitement and said loudly: "Yesterday, Your Majesty stopped the siege of the city, presumably it has already calculated that there will be a heavy fog from the sky today! This is the divine mist that the wolf god has sown for His Majesty!"

"Hahaha. Yelu Tailong let out a hearty laugh, and said in his heart: What Wu Feng said yesterday, if you don't deceive me, this fog is so thick, the people of Nanqi have suddenly become blind, how can they stop my siege army?

"Jeruth is innocent!" cried out Jerrytyrone.

"Yelu is here!" a loud shout came from the thick fog, and he rode and stopped in front of the formation. Jerod turned and dismounted, strode forward, and fell on his knees before Jerodalon.

"I said that if I want to attack the city again, I will still take you as my general!" Yelu Tailong said in a loud voice: "I have sent you 30,000 wolf horses, and you may open the gate of Taiyuan to welcome my army into the city?"

Yelu Wuxie crossed his arms to his chest, his eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "Yelu Wuxian is willing to use the head of the Master to make a military order! If Taiyuan cannot be taken down today, Yelu Wuxian is willing to kill himself under the city of Taiyuan to thank Your Majesty!"

"Good!" said Yelu Tailong, "Then I will wait here!

Yelu Wuxian stood up, turned over and stepped onto the war horse, and with a "cang" sound, the snowy saber was already out of its sheath.

"Ride!" shouted, and after Yelu Wuxie's sword slammed the horse, the war horse let out a high-pitched neigh, galloped away, and disappeared into the dense fog in a blink of an eye.

Yelu Tyrone looked up, and on the flagpole on the side, the Sirius battle flag was flying in the wind, and the hunt sounded!
