Xi Yinglong sat on the main seat. The expression is serious.

Next to him, Xi Changzhen also had a tense face.

Xi Yinglong was the first to speak: "Brother, Li Zhen has already started attacking the north gate, and he definitely wants to copy our back road." The soldiers stationed at the north gate blocked an attack during the day, but if they want to continue to resist with the help of the city gate, it must be difficult, especially the possibility of completely annihilating the other party, so I plan to open the north gate and introduce Li Zhen's troops into the city. ”

"What?"

Xi Changzhen exclaimed in surprise and said in surprise: "The north is our belly, once Li Zhen's army attacks, it will be attacked on both sides, and it will be attacked in front and back, are you sure?" ”

"Sure!"

Xi Yinglong stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "The art of war says that if you put yourself to death, you will live later, I will walk around the place of death first, and then push Li Zhen into the place of death, so that Li Zhen has no chance to escape." ”

Xi Changzhen said: "How to arrange it?" ”

Xi Yinglong said: "The specific arrangement, I plan it like this......" Immediately, Xi Yinglong explained the next arrangements in detail, and told Xi Changzhen all of them, before he said seriously: "The success or failure of this time is all in the strength of the army under my brother's command, please send my brother to send the Black Dragon Guard, send the elite under his command, and be sure to stop the opponent's army." ”

"I understand!"

Xi Changzhen had a solemn expression on his face, and responded solemnly.

He had already understood Xi Yinglong's strategy, and even recognized Xi Yinglong's strategy. The so-called taking in advance must be given first, and giving great concessions now is to lay the foundation for the next victory.

Xi Changzhen left the study, and the oil lamp in Xi Yinglong's study went out.

……

When the first light of the morning came, the entire Lingui County looked like it was about to face the slaughter. The army under Li Zhen's command quickly split up and attacked from all sides.

As soon as the attack began, Lingui County fell into an encirclement.

The gates of the four sides were attacked, and the pressure was great.

Li Zhen personally came to the north gate of Lingui County to supervise the formation and urge the soldiers to attack. The south gate and the north gate belong to a straight line, and once the armies on both sides are opened, it must be a good opportunity to destroy Xi Yinglong. As long as the north gate is taken, the opportunity will come, so Li Zhen attaches the most importance to the north gate, and the east gate and the west gate are handed over to the generals under his command to deal with themselves.

The attack on Simen has increased the pressure on Lingui County. In particular, the attacks of these four gates were mainly artillery fire, which made the soldiers defending the city feel great pressure, and they all raised their spirits to respond.

Li Zhen stood outside the north gate, watching the cannonballs fall on the city tower, his eyes full of anticipation.

Smith said: "Commander, take the north gate, you can definitely win." ”

Li Zhen shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "This idea is good, and I hope so." But until the results are reached, such statements are unreliable. Because you can't predict what will happen next, didn't Yang Banhou also swear to take Lingui County before? The result? was stopped twice, failed to take Lingui County, failed to catch Xi Yinglong! ”

Smith was slightly embarrassed and said, "Sure victory!" ”

Li Zhendao: "Look at it! ”

Smith ran to the side of the soldier who fired the cannon and shouted: "Aim at me, destroy the north gate as soon as possible, we will kill it and take Xi Yinglong." He kept cheering up the soldiers, wanting to break down the gates as soon as possible. But the defense on the north gate was also very strong, and it was subjected to continuous artillery fire, and it did not show the slightest invincibility.

……

Governor's Palace, Xi Changzhen hurried over.

When he saw Xi Yinglong, he immediately said, "My lord, the situation has changed. Last night, we estimated that only the North Gate was attacked, and now the North Gate, the East Gate, and the West Gate are attacked at the same time. In particular, Li Zhen personally supervised the battle at the North Gate, and the North Gate was under the greatest pressure. If the north gate is opened, they will be able to receive the soldiers at the east and west gates as soon as they enter the city, which is not easy to do! ”

Xi Yinglong lowered his head and pondered, and only raised his head for a while before he said loudly: "Brother, it is impossible to do things without risks. When you do big things, you take a big risk. Li Zhen wants a large-scale attack, okay, I'll give him a large-scale. Open the north, west, and east gates, and let Li Zhen's army all enter the city, but it must be blocked today. If we can't stop it today, we won't be able to sing anymore. ”

Xi Changzhen swallowed his saliva when he heard this.

What does it mean to open the North, West, and East Gates?

All four doors open!

Who has ever seen the gates of the four sides open during the war, isn't this looking for death? However, Xi Changzhen clearly knew Xi Yinglong's strategy, and also thought that Xi Yinglong's idea could be tried, so he nodded and said: "My old Xi has given up his old roots, and sent all the soldiers of the Black Dragon Guard and the Zhennan Army out, and he must guard the four city gates." ”

After a pause, his tone became heavy, and he said slowly: "Ying Long, this time is related to the survival of our Xi family. I will lead the troops to resist, and when the gates of the Quartet are opened, if I can't stop them, you will flee with the people of your family. Remember what you promised me, keep the people of the Xi family, and keep the bloodline of the Xi family. ”

With that, he turned and left the hall.

Xi Yinglong sat alone in the hall, looked up at the blue sky outside the hall, and muttered: "If the skin does not have hair, it will be attached, without the Xi family, what is the point of living?" ”

……

Xi Changzhen came to the north gate to sit in the town, and quickly conveyed the order to open the west gate and the east gate. He ordered the three city gates to be opened, and the soldiers defending the city were all retreating, and then set up checkpoints for defense, set up artillery fire, etc., to block Li Zhen's army.

Outside the North Gate, Li Zhen had a puzzled expression.

The north gate opens?

What's going on?

Li Zhen's mind was already confused, and he couldn't understand the true thoughts of Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen. From the beginning when the south gate was opened, his army entered the city, and now the north gate was opened, and his soldiers entered the city, but it was also intercepted halfway, which is too strange. Instead of blocking the city in the middle of the road, it is better to directly guard the city gate.

What prompted them to open the gates?

"Report!"

When Li Zhen was deep in thought, a soldier ran over.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, the west and east gates are opened. Our army has entered the city. However, the army that entered the city was stopped by the army in the city. The soldiers on the other side are extremely elite, and they can't take it for a while, so they ask the commander to send troops to support. ”

Li Zhen chuckled in his heart, and even had a bad premonition.

Four doors wide open, what is this concept?

Once the Sifang City Gate was opened, Li Zhen's army entered the city and surrounded the entire city, forming a huge encirclement. Xi Changzhen and Xi Yinglong will both become turtles in the urn and will not be able to escape. Li Zhen's mind turned, and he secretly wondered if Xi Yinglong wanted to let his forces disperse and then break them individually?

No!

After all, after Li Zhen's army formed an encirclement, it was all connected in series, and troops could be deployed to support it at any time. Even if it is attacked by the army under Xi Yinglong, it will not affect the overall situation. But Li Zhen couldn't understand the reason, and now the other party gave an extremely tempting opportunity, which made it difficult for Li Zhen to give up.

Therefore, Li Zhen ordered the soldiers to march cautiously and constantly advance towards the city.
