When the sky was about to dawn, the sound of artillery outside the city that had been sounding all night finally stopped, and Mi Xuan, who had fainted due to labor pain, slowly woke up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt that the light was extremely dazzling, and Mi Ni's happy voice sounded in her ears: "Sister is awake?" My sister woke up ......, it's Childe! My sister gave birth to a son! ”

In this era, the prince is no longer the exclusive domain of the descendants of the prince, and the son that Mi Ni said is actually a prince. Mi Xuan struggled to get out of bed, and then collapsed in collapse. Under the candlelight, the witch doctor hugged the child with a smile, and she said with a smile: "It's the prince, I'm the Chu country, and my king has a queen." ”

Xiong Jing is the chief wizard of the Chu State, and even if he is not the chief wizard of the Chu State, the witches pray for him day and night. After the Ao system, the status of the witch was suddenly elevated, and he became one of the courtiers of the Zheng Dynasty, although they were always silent every time they decided at court;

In addition, local witchcraft was also highly valued, and the royal court, together with the county, specially allocated funds to build a magnificent and tall shrine, making it the center of activities in the county and township. The implementation of this policy has made the most magnificent buildings in Yingdu are the Taimiao and Taishe, and in the counties and townships outside Yingdu, the most magnificent buildings are large and small shrines.

In addition to the improvement of social rank, there are also special schools for witchcraft. In addition to training young shamans, the school also collates and studies written and unwritten documents, myths, customs, canons, and fatwas, as well as Egyptian, Persian, and Greek theology and philosophy, as well as sermons and debates.

After several failures, Xiong Jing had essentially given up on whether the Spirit Cult would transform into a monotheistic religion. In the past few years, he has only done two things: one is to establish a suitable mechanism for cultivating witchcraft: witchcraft schools; The second is to learn from later generations to establish a missionary and evangelistic center centered on the shrine, so that the witchcraft can cover every household in an all-round way, forming a strict and solid organization to protect the Chu land from being infiltrated by paganism, and also to protect the gods of the Chu people from being tampered with by paganism.

The people of Chu love the king, and the witches of the state of Chu love the king even more. After the king has a queen, what a happy thing, but it is pitch black outside the city, and the sound of cannons is constant, and the witch can't tell the news to the ancestors in the Taimiao.

The old witch doctor smiled, and the child in the burden cried for a long time, and he slept peacefully for half the night. Mi Xuan looked around, and suddenly smiled when she saw the child, and she said, "Like a king." ”

"Where is it like a king?" It's not that Mi Ni hasn't seen the child, she hasn't seen anything like the king after watching it for a long time.

"The eyebrows and eyes are like kings." Mi Xuan wanted to hold the child and couldn't hold it, and when she wanted to breastfeed, she couldn't feed the child when she fell asleep, so she could only let the witch doctor hold it. "If the king knows ......"

Speaking of this, she remembered what happened last night, first Ying Nan risked her life to report the news, saying that Concubine Zhao was going to kill herself, and then there was a burst of artillery outside the city. "What's going on outside the city?" She asked.

"Outside the city?" It was not yet dawn, and no one knew what was going on outside the city, but it was clear that Zhao Zu did not attack Xiaoyi.

"Zhao Zu doesn't enter Xiaoyi at night, and he can't attack during the day, so don't worry." Win Nan's voice. There were barbs on the arrows, and she first surgically removed the arrows, and then transfused 400 milliliters of blood from a bloody person, and after a good night's sleep, the person was fine.

Ying Nan walked into the big room, including Mi Xuan on the bed, and everyone looked at her. And her eyes were firmly fixed on the swaddling clothes in the witch doctor's hand, and when Mi Ni saw this, her body couldn't help but take two steps back, blocking her gaze.

"I, I'm ......" Ying Nan sensed everyone's vigilance, but she was too envious, she moved her lips, and couldn't restrain herself: "Can I, can I see?" ”

The room was silent, and after a long time, Mi Xuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Qi Ni looked at Qi Xuan and wanted to speak, she quickly shook her head. By this time, Ying Nan had already walked up to the witch doctor and saw the baby in swaddling clothes.

"It's like a king." Ying Nan couldn't help but say, after the witch doctor turned around with the child in her arms, she inexplicably shed tears. Thinking that it was a great joy for a man to have his first heir, and he shouldn't cry, she hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "The concubine is here to congratulate my sister and the king." ”

Ying Nan cried miserably, Mi Xuan wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade him, and the room was silent again. Outside the large room, the sky gradually brightened, and the overnight attack on Zhao was full of casualties, and the moat was full of their twisted and broken corpses. It was only at this time that Sima Mao, who commanded the attack, found himself attacking a city that had never been in the world before, completely defended by artillery.

It is difficult to fill the two wide trenches with human lives alone, and the traditional chariots, rushing carts, cloud carts, and chariots are completely ineffective - these siege vehicles must be close to the walls of the city to attack the city. Because there are two large moats outside the eup, it is impossible for vehicles to get close to the eup wall if they are not filled; And if the trench is to be filled, it will be subjected to heavy bombardment by the artillery on the inside of the trench. As long as there is artillery in the trench, it is basically impossible to fill the trench.

The Zhao pawns led by Sima Mao were all elite pawns, and now these elite pawns are almost exhausted. Only then did he realize that he would never be able to take the city, and that it was dark and even more so at dawn.

The military academy next to the "General ......" pointed to the north bank of Yangshui, and a knight of the Chu army rode a horse. Aiming at Sima Mao and the others on the boat, he shot an arrow at the sky carelessly, and when the arrow fell again, it was already nailed to the board at the front of the boat.

"Please take a look, General." One of the guards pulled out the arrow, untied the Chu paper tied to the shaft, and handed it over.

Chu rode to deliver the letter, it may be a letter from the Chu people, or it may be a letter from the Empress Dowager Zhao, Sima Mao, who opened the letter, changed his face from the first glance, with an expression of disbelief. Like him, another Zhao military academy outside the boat also had an expression of disbelief when he saw the Chu army war boat waving in the upper reaches of the water and the lower reaches of the military flag waving and getting closer and closer. Sima Mao said that he had at least three days, and now it has only been one night, and the Chu army has come.

"My army is also a plan!" A military academy screamed in mourning, and the long sword at his waist was pulled out and stabbed, and the person fell into the water. The identity of the soldier is difficult to identify, but the identity of the lieutenant school is not difficult to identify, once the Chu people find out that it is the Zhao people who are attacking the city, it will be a great disadvantage to the Zhao State.

"Stop! ——!! There was more than one person in the military academy who committed suicide and threw himself into the water, Sima Mao hurriedly shouted to stop, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. Except for the previously injured people, the three military academies who were alive were all in ambush.

"Prince Tyrant, please see General Sima." A small boat approached slowly, and the Chu army officials on it shouted, not afraid of the Zhao army crossbowmen on the boat board and on the south bank of Yangshui.

"No." Sima Mao agreed without hesitation, and before the strategists beside him could persuade him, he jumped onto the boat outside Zhangyu with a brisk step. The boat sinked and then swung, but he stood firm.

The northerners have never been watery, and at the same time they are very unaccustomed to the ripples on the boat. Chu Yan didn't expect Sima Mao to shirk at all, and he came up with a brisk walk, and he didn't get seasick. Surprised to surprised, the boat official took advantage of his leap to drive a sudden retreat, and a moment later he was sent to the king boat where Xiong Han was.

"General Sima." Xiong Han stood on the battle boat in Wei Ben's suit, he first looked up and down at Sima Mao, who was dressed in Qin army armor, a little surprised by his youth, and only said a word to Sima Mao after being surprised.

Xiong Mao looked at Sima Mao, and Sima Mao also looked at Xiong Mao rudely. The younger brother of the King of Chu, who has not yet been crowned and just tied his hair, is younger than him, and his well-fitting armor sets off the heroism of the man, but unfortunately this heroism is a bit like a newborn willow branch in spring, no matter how much he hides it, he can't hide his innate immaturity. Xiong Han is not alone, there is also a veteran of the Chu army wearing patent leather armor standing next to him, and the veteran squints his eyes and looks at him, his gaze is substantial.

"What does General Sima think of this city? Is it difficult to attack? "In the news received by Sima Mao, all the generals of the Chu State went north, and only Nao Cunning, Zhao Huang, and Lan Hao Sanao stayed in Yingdu, could this veteran be Yin Nao, the Great Sima Mansion?

"This military academy sacrificial wine Lu Yang Jun also." Xiong's reputation is not as good as his name, not only is he not fierce but he is empathetic. When he saw Sima Mao looking at Lu Yangjun, he naturally introduced Lu Yangjun to Sima Mao. Lu Yangjun was not as polite as him, he just snorted, which was regarded as a greeting.

"General Sima thought it was ......," Xiong Han continued with the previous question.

"The subordinates thought that they could not uproot this town without 30,000 soldiers and a month and days." Sima Mao took the initiative to talk about Xiaoyi's attack. This is the estimate that Zhao Jun exchanged for blood, and when Sima Mao said it, his heart seemed to be dripping blood.

"Really?" Xiong Han's smile pierced Sima Mao's eyes, but as a defeated general, he had to bow his head.

"Will General Sima surrender?" Lu Yangjun didn't talk nonsense, no matter what the reason, he was disgusted with Zhao Ren's behavior.

"What is said in this letter...... Sima Mao took out the letter he had just received. Really? What will happen to my sergeants? ”

"Enter my Chu realm, attack my Chu Yi, and kill my Chu people, how can they wait for the king to fall." Lu Yangjun shouted.

"There are many casualties in the overnight attack army, if General Sima really pities the soldiers, how long will he wait if he doesn't surrender at this time?" Xiong Han also said. "The kid specially ordered the doctor of Yingdu to marquis Xianghou, and every moment of delay of the general will have a lot of Zhao pawns die."

Speaking of the casualties of Zhao Zu, Sima Mao's face showed a painful look. He suddenly knelt down on the deck of the war boat and said, "Why is this so? Why does the king do this?! So far in the attack last night, our army has suffered 2,000 casualties. These two thousand, these two thousand......"

With a 'choking' sound, Sima Mao pulled out the iron sword on his waist, closed his eyes and stabbed at the chest after a moment's pause, Xiong Han was closest to him, and hurriedly stopped him. Lu Yangjun felt bad, and wanted to hold Xiong Han but didn't stop. As expected, as soon as Xiong Han rushed into Sima Mao's side, the tip of the sword aimed at his chest reversed, and his foot kicked again, and Xiong Han stumbled as if thrown into his arms.

"Rude! Daring!! On the deck, the Chu soldiers hurriedly shouted, or wanted to draw their swords and step forward, or wanted to bend their bows and shoot angrily. It's a pity that the iron sword that was about to kill himself just now was already on Xiong Han's neck, and no one dared to act rashly for a while.

"Sima Mao, what do you want?!" Lu Yangjun stopped everyone and drank urgently. "You don't listen to your father?!"

The well-planned operation fails, and suddenly a letter from his father appears telling him all about the situation. Unwilling, bitter, remorseful, and hateful ......, Sima Mao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know why he wanted to kidnap Xiong Han, he only said, "I don't believe what my father said!" ”
