"Ding, ding, ding!"

In the crisp and loud sound of gold, the soldiers of the Cao army who were besieging the city quickly withdrew from the city and slowly retreated to the camp on the north bank.

The sun is setting in the west, and the night is slowly falling.

The evening breeze blew, and the air was wrapped in a strong smell of blood, shrouding Yecheng under the night, and the wind permeated the empty field for a long time.

In the battle that just ended, although Cao's army did not break through the south gate, it was still a complete victory.

In front of the battle, Cao Chun killed Ma Yan, a close general under Yuan Tan's account, with a knife, and severely injured Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, if it wasn't for the Lu brothers who stepped forward to resist in time, I am afraid that these two people would have already become ghosts under the knife. After Jiao Touch and the two escaped from death, Cao Chun fought against Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang brothers with one enemy and two. The two sides fought for a long time, from morning to afternoon, and finally Cao Chun was still brave, and killed Lu Xiang's mount with a knife, forcing Lu Kuang to have no intention of fighting anymore, and hurriedly grabbed his younger brother Lu Xiang's shoulders and dragged him back to his main formation.

Subsequently, Cao Chun, who was about to ride his horse to chase and kill, was attacked by the defenders at the head of the city, and had to give up the pursuit and retreat to his own position.

At this moment, Cao Cao waved his army to cover up and try to seize the city gate in one fell swoop. However, the defeated Yuan army did not love to fight, and after rescuing the Lu brothers, he withdrew to the city, so that the Cao army that rushed over was empty, and then attacked the city again.

When the city gate was closed, Li Li, who was watching the battle on the hill three miles away from the south gate, couldn't help but shake his head, and then stopped staying, turned around and returned to the camp on the south bank with tens of thousands of war horses.

"In Zicheng's opinion, how is Cao Chun's combat power? Who is the enemy of our army? "Sitting in the tent of the commander of the Chinese army. Li Li skillfully made tea with his own hands, and asked softly with a heavy heart. You don't need to look at it, at this moment following him is Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Yiwei. The word is sincere.

After Li Zhi heard the sound, he walked out of the tent curtain at the west corner of the big tent and said respectfully: "Today, Cao Chun showed his might in front of the battle, breaking three generals with one sword, but he was suspected of opportunism. However, his people are indeed extraordinary in combat and superb in horsemanship. Strong in martial arts, with the strength of the middle and upper ranks of top generals, he can be called a rare top general in the world. But. His strength is not a top master, and there are not a few top generals in our army who have this kind of combat power. ”

Just as Li Zhi was speaking, Li Li waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and poured two cups of hot tea. There was a pause. Li Zhi thanked him. After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "The five tiger generals under the command of the lord are all not inferior to Cao Chun's combat power, and even surpass it. In addition, General Tatar, General Teng Xiao, and General Teng Yu also have skills, while the last general, Feihu and Zilong are above him.

If he is a fighting general, he can still fight with me, after all, it is not my forte to fight head-to-head; If you talk about charging on the battlefield, he is not as good as Zilong. Not to mention the opponent of the Flying Tiger. There is also the lord himself, if Cao Chun and the lord are in charge. It is certainly not an opponent of the lord. At the end, Li Zhi suddenly remembered that the lord Li Li, who was sitting opposite him, was also a peak general with supreme skills, and Cheng Dù, who had reached the peak of his Ben Thunder Battle Sword. It's just that Li Li has rarely taken action in person in recent years, so that Li Zhi almost forgot that his lord himself was a battle-hardened warrior, and there were dozens of famous generals who died under the sword of Jin Li. (Five Tiger Generals of the Western Liang Army: Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Dian Wei and Xu Chu.) ）

When Li Zhi finished speaking, Li Li drank two cups of hot tea one after another, and then he reached out and poured out Li Zhi's cup of tea that had been cooled, and poured him another cup of hot tea.

"Drink tea while it's hot, don't drink it when it's cold, it hurts your stomach." Explaining casually, Li Li said thoughtfully: "Today's battle in front of the battle is a bit strange, but I can't think of the reason yet." Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. ”

With an understatement, Li Li's words changed sharply: "Has Zicheng ever had an ominous premonition recently? Especially in the last few days, have you felt anything unusual? That's what Li Li wants to know most. If he had a delusion because he had been thinking too much about things recently, then Li Zhi should not have this delusion. After all, Li Zhi did the same thing every day, guarding the safety of the tent, and there was nothing else to distract him.

"This ??????" Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't seem to have thought about this question, let alone why Li Li asked this question. After a moment's hesitation, he said respectfully: "There has been nothing abnormal around the camp recently, and the last general has placed two thousand scouts and five hundred guards (dead soldiers) within a radius of fifteen miles from the camp. If there is an ominous premonition, it is really there, that is, the moment when Cao Cao led the army to the Liyang camp more than 20 days ago, the last general felt faintly uneasy, and it seemed that something big would happen. Afterwards, the last general secretly investigated and found that the generals of the Cao army were extremely hostile to us, and nothing else was found. ”

"Oh? Is it also Cao Cao? Li Li frowned and groaned, and immediately instructed Li Zhi: "From tonight, send an additional 3,000 scouts to expand the scope of vigilance, and every corner within twenty miles of the camp must be investigated, and patrolled day and night." Ordered Gao Shun to strengthen the vigilance of the battalion, change the password every half an hour at night, patrol once every half an hour, and increase the number of soldiers guarding the camp to 10,000 at night, and rotate every two hours. In addition, send someone to inform Zhou Yu to keep an eye on Cao Cao and his soldiers and horses at all times, and if there is a slight change, immediately besiege him, and if necessary, allow him to annihilate Cao's army, leaving no room for survival! ”

"No, I'll give the order at the end." Li Zhi got up to receive the order, then turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" Li Li stretched out his hand to stop him and asked in a low voice, "How many sets of dragon scale battle armor did you bring with you on this expedition?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi's voice changed when he heard this, his expression instantly became solemn, and he stretched out five fingers without thinking: "Five sets." This has been the case on all expeditions, and he has always carried five sets of dragon scale armor, but he has never used it. The remaining seven sets of armor and twelve sets of half-body soft armor, the lord gave a set of armor to the chariot general Li Dao and the general Li Xian of Zhengnan, in addition to the lord also sent out five pieces of soft armor, respectively: the eldest lady Li Xin, the eldest son Li Hao, the Xiliang thorn Shi Li Xuan, the left army division Jia Xu and the Zhenbei general Teng Xiao. In addition, the remaining twelve pieces of dragon scale armor are all in the secret room of the Chang'an General's Inner Palace, and only the lord and the last general can open the secret room. ”

Before the words fell, Li Zhi added, "Oh. By the way, the lord's two sets of soft armor, a full set of dragon scale armor and a golden armor are no longer among them. These two sets of soft armor and dragon scale armor will always be with the general. so that the Lord may need it from time to time. ”

The dragon scale armor that Li Zhi mentioned was the skin and scales of the deep pool poison dragon that was hunted in the past. After extremely elaborate leather treatment, the skin of the poisonous dragon can be made into soft armor, and the dragon skin with scales can be made into battle armor. The skin of the poisonous dragon is extremely tough, and the sword is injure, and only the best heavy weapons and great strength can pierce it, while the scaled armor is even tougher, and only a powerful warrior can pierce it with a divine weapon.

I don't know how many years the deep pool poisonous dragon lived. The cortex is extremely thick, and the abdomen is covered with scales, making it invulnerable. The bow and crossbow are hard to hurt. The reason why Li Li was able to kill it that day was because he used a divine weapon to pierce the eyes of the poisonous dragon and penetrate the cranial cavity, so he killed it. It can be described as an extremely fluke. Even so. Huan Fei, who dragged the poisonous dragon, was also seriously injured. It took three months of recuperation before he recovered.

It is a poisonous dragon with a treasure all over its body, and its body is huge, in order to transport it back to Chang'an in the past, it took a lot of thought and effort. First, the two warships were connected together and transported to the mouth of the Danjiang River by water, and then the eight carriages were combined and lengthened, and sixteen fine war horses took turns pulling the carts in front. Nearly a thousand Hercules followed the carriage and pushed the cart along the way; It took nearly a month to toss back and forth before it was transported to Chang'an.

Followed by. In order to divide the body of the poisonous dragon, hundreds of craftsmen worked for more than half a year to complete the division and process it one by one. Fortunately, the body of the poisonous dragon exudes a special smell all year round, and except for the internal organs, there is no sign of decay for half a year. Because of this, the craftsmen also had a lot of time to divide and process, and finally the craftsmen's workshops made zuò into soft armor and battle armor. And there is a credit to Li Zhi, the special smell on the poisonous dragon skin and scale armor was all managed by him to get rid of, and then he participated in the whole process of making zuò soft armor and battle armor, and supervised the completion of the construction.

Since then, he has kept all the twelve pieces of soft armor and twelve sets of battle armor in his custody and is responsible for daily maintenance. So he knew exactly where these soft armor and battle armor went, and even he remembered who Li Li gave the soft armor to and when he sent it. And the dragon scale armor carried by each expedition is also personally responsible for him, and others don't know the storage of the dragon scale armor at all. But the place where Li Li is located is the storage place of the dragon scale armor, which has never changed, because Li Li's Chinese army marshal tent has always had a secret room, or underground or in the mezzanine of Li Li's bedroom, it is different. In addition to Li Li and Li Zhi, the people who knew that there were zài in the secret room were the dead soldiers who were selected by Li Li and trained by Li Zhi himself. They were responsible for building the Chamber of Secrets.

??????“ Five sets? Take them all out, and distribute them tonight. ”

Just when Li Zhi was stunned, Li Li spoke. Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this: "Ah, send it all!" The lord 、、、 will not understand why this is. "Obviously, Li Zhi is reluctant to take care of these treasures who have been taken care of for more than four years, and he really can't figure out how good everything is, is it necessary to use dragon scale armor?

Li Li looked up at Li Zhi, who was full of surprise and puzzled, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how precious the dragon scale armor is, if you don't use it there, it is just a pile of dead things, worthless." Today I don't know why I am restless, and I have a vague sense of foreboding, which I have felt since the early morning, and now this sense of crisis is getting stronger as time goes by. So, in order to prevent it from happening, it is now necessary to use it. You keep one set for yourself, and send the rest to Guo Jia, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Zhou Yu, and tell them to wear the battle armor on their bodies in the next few days, and they can't take it off even if they sleep. This is a military order, and it must not be disobeyed! ”

"No, the last general will take the order." Seeing that Li Li had made up his mind, his tone was unquestionable, Li Zhi said no more.

After a while, seeing Li Zhi walking out of the back tent with four guards, Li Li raised his hand and pointed to the golden armor hanging next to the handsome case, and said, "Take this set of armor with you and send it to Gongsun Zhan's tent." Although this set of armor is not as good as the dragon scale armor, it has followed me to fight for many years, and it is really an extremely rare and superb battle armor. Give it to Gongsun Chan, I don't want anything to happen to him. Go for it??????"
