Compared with Lu Yao's rare arrogance, Shi Le seemed very calm.

He looked at Lu Yao steadily, and suddenly remembered his experience during the Jinyang War a few months ago.

At the beginning of last year, the army of Gongshi Liang, which had swept Hebei, failed, and General Gongshi Liang himself was killed by Tu Bo Gouxi. The Hebei bandits who were attached to him were scattered for a while. Ji Sang fled to Chiping Ranch to hide, and he was not willing to accept such an outcome, and led a number of cronies to cross Taihang and go to Bingzhou to defect to the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.

At first, everything did not go well, due to his weak strength, he was not reused by the Xiongnu Han State at all, so he could only rely on the Wuhuan chieftain Volidhu's men and follow the Xiongnu Han champion general Qiao Xi to attack Jinyang. Who knew that Qiao Xi was killed by Lu Yao's night attack, and the Xiongnu army was in chaos under the victory of the Jin army, and Shi Le had the opportunity to seize military power.

Then came the Battle of Tuanbai Valley. Before this battle, he pretended to be entangled with the main force of the Jin army, but in fact, the whole army detoured north and attacked the Baigu Valley. And Lu Yao saw through this plan to secretly cross Chen Cang, and intercepted his own army in Tuanbai Valley.

At that time, the two armies also confronted each other, and it was the first time I saw this young general from Bingzhou, who was unknown before. It's funny to think about it, at that time I thought that I had the chance to win, and I didn't know that it was Lu Yao himself who was guarding the Tuan Bai Valley, so he even told Wang Yang that if he had the opportunity to capture the brave general who defended the Tuan Bai Valley......

This carelessness brought destruction to thousands of soldiers; The cronies and colonels who have been entangled for several years have been killed or injured in nearly half; Even his own life was almost lost there.

The battle of Tuanbai Valley was a painful memory for many of Shile's subordinates. Shi Le looked around, and the cronies and generals such as Kui'an, Ji Bao, and Wu Yu on his side all showed expressions of bitter hatred, and he had no doubt that as long as he gave an order, these loyal and brave subordinates would immediately launch a fierce offensive and tear to pieces the great enemy who dared to provoke many times in front of him.

But instead of giving the order, he clasped his hands on his chest and stared at the wall platform a hundred and fifty paces away, as if he was lost in thought, and was silent. The generals around him exchanged glances with each other, and some of them showed impatience, but they didn't dare to disturb Shile.

Even though he suffered heavy setbacks in the war in the annexed states, Shi Le has been reorganizing the army and training and selecting generals in the past few months, and with his extraordinary skills, he can't help but quickly recover his vitality and greatly expand his ranks. For all the generals under his command, they all felt that this sweeping general and the Marquis of Zhongming Pavilion were becoming more and more majestic and unfathomable.

Only when Lu Yao raised his middle fingers in his hands did he ask lightly, "What does this mean?" ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison and said that they didn't know, anyway, it wouldn't be a good intention, so why bother to dig deeper. And Shile did not ask again, but continued to fall into deep thought.

In Yecheng, where there are loud noises everywhere, it seems that only this wall platform is so quiet that it seems to be isolated from the world.

Marked by the news of King Xincai's death, the thief army under Jisang had almost all dispersed, and the laughter and roars of the thieves could be heard in every square of Yecheng. They are like wild wolves, completely irrational by the tender fat of Yecheng, and they only know how to loot and kill to their heart's content.

And the 3,000 men and horses of Shiler's department are simply like a cloud of mud compared to them. This army did not participate in the massacre and looting from beginning to end, and after capturing Santai, they rushed all the way along the walls of the outer city of Yecheng, and successively took the four city gates of Jinming, Fengyang, Zhongyang, and Guangyang, and closed all the passages in and out of the southern part of Yecheng. Yecheng's weak defense in front of this army, like Tang Woxue, was completely unstoppable, until the last gate of Yecheng that had not yet changed hands, Jianchun Gate.

In charge of serving as the vanguard of the whole army is Zhixiong. Because Wang Yang died in battle to cover Shi Le in the Tuanbai Valley, Shi Le promoted Wang Yang's wife and brother, who was also one of the "Eighteen Cavalry", to lead the rest of his army, including 300 elite spear throwers trained by Wang Yang.

Zhixiong is also a well-known warrior in the Hebei group, and his temperament is like fire, brave and daring to fight, so he has to accept the heavy responsibility of the forward. Schler had considerable hopes for his performance. Who knew that after he knew that the enemy was Lu Yao, he was anxious for revenge, but he was too aggressive, resulting in a thwart defeat under the resolute counterattack of the Jin people, especially the casualties of the spear throwers were very heavy. And Shi Le's plan to urgently take the Jianchun Gate was also blocked because of this!

The stone steps rattled, and Zhixiong hurried towards him with a dejected face, kneeling at Shile's feet.

Shile looked coldly at the back of his head and was silent. It wasn't until the back of Zhixiong's neck gradually oozed bean-sized sweat that he sighed: "Get up!" These of us are all brothers with different surnames when the Red Dragon Ranch raised troops, although they are not related by blood, but they are like brothers and sisters...... Could it be that I will punish you for this little thing? ”

Only then did Zhixiong relax. Obviously, Shi Le only glared at him for a moment, but when he got up, he felt that his feet were weak.

Wait until Zhixiong thanked Shile and stood aside. Only then did Shi Le look around at the generals around him, and said slowly: "In the battle of Tuanbai Valley, eighteen horsemen killed seven people, and this hatred cannot be eliminated. Shile prayed to Heaven day and night, pleading for a chance for revenge...... Right now, this opportunity has come, and I, like everyone, expect to kill this Lu Yao and avenge Wang Yang, Taobao and other brothers. But I hope you don't forget that our most important goal is always Yecheng! ”

He took two steps back and forth and continued, "Have you ever thought that this Lu Yao is a subordinate of the Bingzhou Army, not a soldier of Wei County. What does the war in Yecheng have to do with him? Why did he lead the army to fight against us, and even impatiently raise this land flag? ”

The generals frowned, and no one spoke for a long time.

Liu Ying, a native of Qingzhou, has the most reckless personality, he looked at his colleagues and took the lead in replying: "It's just because this guy is young and vigorous, and he is eager to make a name for himself so that he can be promoted." ”

Shi Le bowed slightly: "Perhaps." ”

Liu Zheng groaned and said, "Brother Liu Ying is reasonable. That Lu Yao is a general that Liu Kun relies on very much, and he has made many contributions in recent years. Such a character, whose fame must be extremely prosperous, participated in the battle of Yecheng, and also said. It's just that at the moment he only has two or three hundred troops in his hands, less than one-tenth of our army. But he set up a military flag with the word land, lest we not know that the great enemy is here...... Don't...... Did he do it on purpose? ”

"He's there to get our attention, to cover...... What is he going to cover? "Zhang Yue belongs to the eighteen horsemen who are quite literate and ink, and his brain is also very flexible. After thinking about it with Liu Zheng's train of thought, his face immediately changed: "Beggar Army!" Only the beggar army! He wants to draw our attention to this city platform, so as to cover the beggar army from Jianchun Gate into Yecheng! ”

"It must be so!" Shi Le struck with his fists, making a crisp crack. He nodded heavily and said loudly: "Order, the enemy in front of you is a poor thief, don't pay much attention!" Kui'an, you lead 500 people to be stationed here, first, to escort our army, and second, to monitor Lu Yao, don't let him escape. The rest of the soldiers, follow me to find another way and go straight to Jianchun Gate! ”

As soon as this military order was given, thousands of people moved like a storm. They immediately abandoned the access road of the city wall, bypassed the wall platform guarded by Lu Yao and others, and instead went to Jianchun Gate along the road in the city.

And Lu Yao and the others, who were looking in this direction from a distance, were all furious.

"Fuck!" Lu Yao rarely said a foul word, and smashed his fist on the stone bricks of the wall. The rough surface of the stone bricks cut through his palm, and he was dripping with blood, but he didn't realize it.

"Didn't Captain Tian Zhen set fire along the line from Qili in the north of the city to Anleli in the south of the city? As long as the road is blocked by fire, those thieves will not be able to pass. Xue Tong groaned.

"Shiler's character is stoic and decisive, and he is not a man who will be stopped by a mere fire. Since he is determined to go to Jianchun Gate, even if he uses human lives to fill it, he will fill in a path! Lu Yao shook his head again and again: "There is no point in guarding here, let's go back to Jianchun Gate and prepare to fight to the death with Shi Le's department!" ”

"Yes!"

All the generals and schools have received orders. Since Shile's army was difficult to stop, there was no point in defending the city. If there is anything wrong with Jianchun Gate, the Jin soldiers stranded in the city will only have a dead end. Therefore, it is better to return along the original road of the city wall and guard the Jianchun Gate firmly.

The soldiers were just about to raise their feet and disperse, but they heard someone whisper: "Wait! ”

The sound was not loud, but it seemed to be drunk in everyone's ears, straight into the mind, and the eardrums buzzed. Everyone was taken aback, and stopped to look, only to see Ding Miao, the general of the military guard, who was a little depressed because of Ding Jin's death, stood up proudly, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

"If Li Yun's ability to use troops is not too bad, the beggar army that entered Jianchun Gate at this moment has already been rectified. Jianchun Gate is a fortress after all, and it is not so easy to be taken by the thief army. There are more than 200 of us here, and even if we go back, it won't make much difference! ”

"Brother Wen Hao means ......"

Ding Miao is a guide to the city platform one hundred and fifty steps: "Let's counterattack again and take that city platform; Then follow the pursuit along the path of the Shile thief army, and give them a ruthless heart! ”
