The fierce battle of the bird clan, which was like a purgatory on earth, lasted for ten days, and almost all the Liangzhou troops stationed in stability were reinforced, and the state of Chu also paid a great price, except for Wang Xu who was stopped by Guo Jia, Zhuge Jin and Pan Jun and other courtiers, and failed to go into battle to kill the enemy in person, even the non-main forces of the general headquarters of Yan Yan and Zong Pre who transported supplies were pushed up.

In fact, Wang Xu himself couldn't sit still for a long time, and wanted to personally lead his troops to attack the enemy village, but Guo Jia, Zhuge Jin and others saw that the battle was so tragic, and the generals and generals died one after another.

Guo Jia even knelt in front of him, crying bitterly and bluntly: "If the lord wants to go into battle, he will first cut his subordinates and step over the minister!" ”

This is not Wang Xu's impulsiveness, but the scene at that time was too uncomfortable, watching one after another his subordinates who had followed him for many years die one after another, his heart was dripping blood!

When the war reached the tenth day, Yan Liang, Chen Zhi and other generals in the army were all wounded, Zhao Yun woke up from a coma, learned the battle situation, and was so anxious that he turned over and sat up from the bed, shouting to prepare the horse, which caused the wound to burst and fall asleep again, forcing the medical officer to tie him up to avoid being too excited after waking up.

On the ninth day, Jianwei General Zhang Ren was hit by seven arrows and returned, and when he was carried to the rear, his flesh and blood were blurred, so anxious that Wang Xu jumped to his feet and personally took first aid with the medical officer!

That night, Wang Xu stood in front of Zhang Renmen for most of the night.

Zhang Ren woke up halfway and learned from the medical officer that Wang Xu had not only personally treated him, but had been waiting outside the door for most of the night, and he was very moved and asked to meet.

Wang Xu, who was lying outside the door, was reported by the medical officer. Immediately rushed in. Then he held Zhang Ren's hand tightly. In the melting mood.

Since the state of Chu pacified Yizhou, Zhang Ren has descended to Chu, and has been loyal for many years, with outstanding military achievements, and has a high status in Wang Xu's heart!

Zhang Ren, who was seriously injured and dying, was very emotional when he saw Wang Xu.

"Lord...... Lord, the end will not be ...... Unwilling! ”

"I know. I know! Wang Xu gritted his teeth and kept nodding in response.

"The last general has not yet seen ...... Seeing the sky...... The world is unified, there is no ...... Didn't follow the Lord...... Main Public ...... Expand your territory, don't want to ...... I want to die! ”

"Yes, I will definitely see it, take care of my injuries, and gallop with me in the future!"

A teardrop slipped from the corner of Zhang Ren's eyes, and he shook his head weakly and slowly, his face as pale as paper.

"Lord...... Lord! End...... The end will be feared...... I'm afraid it's really not...... No, really...... It's really good...... I'm so unwilling! ”

"Don't give up. Trust me, you'll be fine! Wang Xu was full of tears. The heart is like a knife.

"If the end is going to die...... Die, beg for ...... Pray to the Lord ...... The Lord General...... Convert my ...... Gun Legend...... Pass it to me...... My son ......"

"Don't worry, if you have an accident, I will take good care of your family, and I will hand over your war gun!" Wang Xu choked up and made a promise.

Zhang Ren didn't reply, and with endless regrets, he fell asleep again!

After dawn, Wang Xu had to leave, the war still had to continue, he needed to go to the front line to suppress the formation, and before leaving, he repeatedly told the medical officer to do his best to treat him.

On the night of the tenth day, the offensive and defensive battle of the Bird Clan was still going on, but the desperate and stubborn Liangzhou army never dreamed that the nightmare began at this moment.

Lingjing, Anding County Governor's Office, is also the place where Ma Teng stationed heavy troops earlier, but with Ma Teng personally leading troops to break through Qi County and expedition to Chang'an, coupled with the continuous reinforcement of the Bird Clan, there are only three or four thousand people left here, and now all the eyes of Liangzhou are focused on the battle between the Bird Clan and Chang'an, and no one pays attention to this safe rear.

At the time of the third watch, more than 400 figures appeared in the dense forest in the distance of Lingjing City like ghosts, they did not gather together, but in groups of three or five, scattered in all directions, covered in cloth the same color as the land, agile and secretive.

Yes, these people are the elite of the spy shadow of the Chu State, as early as a few months ago, they were ordered to gather from all over the country, make a detour to the north, and lurk near Lingjing in batches. This kind of work couldn't be easier for them who have been in the dark all year round.

This is exactly the dark chess that Wang Xu asked Shan Huaibu to play earlier, the purpose is to prepare for the capture of Lingjing, but he didn't expect Ma Yi to use the same method, and act first to successfully capture Qi County, almost making this move a waste chess, and the reason why he is now confident in attacking stability and refusing to order the army to retreat is because of this chess, so he dares to gamble.

At this time, it was none other than Shan Huai who led the spy department, and Zhang Jing, who had disappeared for a long time, followed him with Yi Rong and gave him advice.

After all, Shan Huai had not directly participated in the war, and there might be mistakes in the process of cooperating with the army, so when Zhou Zhi's incident happened and Zhang Jing had to disappear temporarily, Wang Xu directly asked Zhang Jing to secretly meet in the north with the spy department.

"General Zhang, when is the right time for us to attack?" Shan Huai, who was crawling in the grass, asked in a low voice.

"Wait, it's a little early to attack now, the general Gao Shun is a very strict person, since he said that the fourth watch can only arrive when he contacted him earlier, it must be the fourth watch, we just need to shoot half an hour in advance, and soon after seizing the city gate, it will be able to kill, if it is too early, the casualties of the spy will increase!"

"Then it's up to you!" Shan Huai nodded.

"By the way, should there be an appointment time in the city?" Zhang Jing asked again

"No, it's a signal that we've rushed to the East Side and been discovered!"

"Are they reliable?"

"They are all the core characters of our spy shadow lurking in Lingjing for many years, there is absolutely no problem!"

When Zhang Jing heard this, he didn't say much, just lying on the ground quietly, waiting for time to pass, because they were wearing cloth of the same color and appearance as the land, so when they lay still, they almost blended with the land.

After a long time, Zhang Jing suddenly spoke up.

"Commander Shan, action!"

"Let's go! Take the East Gate in three quarters of an hour! Shan Huai decisively ordered.

A moment later, the Shadow Crew sprang into action, and they were prostrate on the ground. Approach the walls at breakneck speed! It was late at night. It's the rainy season again. The sky is covered with dark clouds, not to mention the camouflage like them, I am afraid that even if you walk directly to it, it will be difficult to be found if it is not illuminated by torches at the head of the city.

There are soldiers on duty at the head of the city, and there are torches shining at night, but the light of the torches is limited, and there will always be some dark dead corners in the city. For the Spy, that's where they're looking.

Soon, the nearest front was the first to lurk under the city, and one by one the iron hooks that had been specially treated and connected to the rope flew up to the top of the city and hung dead on the edge of the city wall.

The spy crew was already familiar with these vehicles, grasping the rope and lifting their breath, like agile apes, they climbed to the top of the city in a few blinks of an eye. The martial arts of the people in front of them were the highest, and they landed silently. With lightning speed, he assassinated the soldiers on duty on the city wall.

"Up! Hurry up! ”

The spy group began to climb the city in an all-round way, and more than 400 people climbed the city in batches from three locations. But there was almost no sound, everyone was very agile, everyone was extraordinary, it could be seen that this must be the elite of Shan Huai drawn from the spy department.

The assassination lasted on the city wall for a long time, and the spy shadow department covered each other, with the help of the layout of the city wall, with the help of the actual environment of the scene, from the shadows to the city gate, a large number of Liangzhou soldiers on night duty fell silently, and this situation was not discovered by the night generals of Liangzhou until the spy department approached the city tower and was only more than 20 meters away from the city gate.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

A series of high-pitched screams followed, followed by a piercing sound of gold and iron.

"Bell! Clang!! Clang!!!! ”

At this time, the traces were exposed, but the spy shadows in the city did not panic, and quickly roared out from the shadows everywhere, killing directly to the city gate, and those who were still in the city no longer had any scruples, and accelerated the speed of ascending the city in the whistle of the commanders of each department.

It is impossible to have too many soldiers on duty at night, and there are even fewer on a single section of the city wall, although the Liangzhou soldiers are shouting and making a gong at this time, but they still can't stop the attack and killing of the spy department. When the defenders of the city woke up from their sleep and quickly assembled, the city tower had been completely occupied by the spy crews, and the city gate slowly opened with a heavy "squeak" sound.

The spy department acted silently, but it was extremely disciplined and tacitly cooperative.

Some of them stood at the head of the city, aiming their bows and crossbows at the city as a suppression. Some of the men stood on both sides of the city, taking advantage of the narrow terrain of the city wall to block the soldiers rushing from the walls on both sides. There are also some people who stay in the passage of the city gate, using sandbags, fences and other items in the city defense facilities to block the passage on the spot, and wait for the battle.

Neiying, who was in the city, also quickly joined in and began to set fire to the surrounding open area to block the movement and reinforcement of the Liangzhou army.

Zhang Jing has rich experience in such a city attack, and keeps telling Shan Huai how to arrange and deploy, so as to get the best effect at the lowest cost.

Soon, the panicked Liangzhou army swarmed in, shouting and killing to the earth, and fought back.

The Butterfly Shadow Tribes were completely different, they were silent and expressionless, like the Grim Reaper in the night, just quietly waving their blades and harvesting life.

In fact, no one thought that it would be so easy to capture the Lingjing City Gate earlier, but because the battle on the Bird's side was too fierce, the Liangzhou army was forced to reinforce again and again, as many as tens of thousands of people before and after, plus Ma Teng personally led part of the main force to expedition to Chang'an, Lingjing was naturally empty, which is also the reason why Wang Xu ordered to storm the Bird's defense line, if he did not put enough pressure on it and did not attract the Liangzhou troops, then Lingjing would be difficult to capture.

Although the final tragedy of the Bird's offensive and defensive battles exceeded Wang Xu's expected bottom line and gradually got out of control, it exceeded the intended goal.

Today's Lingjing is only more than 3,000 people, and there are more than 400 spy masters lurking, who were recruited from all over the country by Shan Huai, and almost one-third of the core elite of the spy shadow was recruited. The original intention was to prepare for the main force in Liangzhou, but now there are only 3,000 people here, and the density of soldiers has been greatly reduced, how can it not be easy?

The current situation, even if there is no Gao Shun's army, more than 400 people can take Lingjing alone, but Zhang Jing and Shan Huai both know that the cultivation of these spy elites is extremely difficult, and it is the accumulation of many years in the Chu State.

This battle did not last long, at the fourth watch, Gao Shun arrived as promised, and the dense cavalry of Chu State poured into Lingjing like locusts, and all the outside of the city gate of the Quartet were blocked, and the soldiers were all wearing the uniforms of the Liangzhou army.

Of course, this is Gao Shun's means to confuse the enemy, although he travels day and night along the way, and walks in the sparsely populated wilderness mountains and forests, but if he is dressed as a Chu army, it is inevitable that he will be seen by someone after all, and there is a possibility of leakage, and it is difficult to attract attention when advancing in enemy clothing, coupled with multiple covers, the probability of being discovered is naturally infinitely reduced.
