There is no moonlit night, and the time is over three watches.
The stars reced, and the night was dark and the wind was high.
Da-da-da-da!
On the official road, under the wind lamps swaying left and right on the side of the road, a team of war horses galloped against the whistling evening wind.
Fufeng Station was right behind them.
Just now, the team had planned to rest at the post station for a night before leaving, but unexpectedly, a red light suddenly rose in the southwest sky, and the air was faintly wrapped in the smell of smoke.
Suddenly, the group had no intention of resting, and after drinking a large bowl of water in one go, they immediately turned over and got on their horses, and hurriedly beat their horses and left.
Half an hour later, they could already hear the sound of killing in the wind, and the cool cold wind seemed to be mixed with the smell of blood.
"It seems that the war has been going on for a long time, and I will be one step too late to hurry up!"
On the golden beast mount of the divine horse, the man was wearing a dark red battle robe and a golden crown of jade dragons, and he sighed as if he felt something while running with a whip.
"Don't worry, lord. Half a month ago, the lord had already determined the battle plan, and told Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun and others many times that nothing would happen in the future. "Following the red-robed man was a general who rode a red horse, with an extremely slender figure and superb riding skills, and the war horse under his crotch could go hand in hand with the golden beast, and it was not inferior, and it was a rare BMW horse.
After a pause in the man's voice, he continued: "The only thing I am worried about now is that five days ago, the lord hinted that the old general Huangfu Song had spread the news. Originally, everything was in the plan, but unexpectedly, the little emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, which disrupted the whole plan. As a result, the plan of the suspicious soldiers has been extraneous. If the lord is in the city, the morale of the army will be greatly shaken, and the morale of the generals is high, even if the army of Hanzhong has 100,000 soldiers and horses, our army is not afraid. Now that it has been delayed for a few days, I don't know if Fa Zheng and the others can stabilize the situation and act in accordance with the lord's military orders. If you do what you are told. It is expected that there will be no accidents, but if there is a slight difference in the middle, I am afraid that the battle situation will not be as optimistic as previously thought. ”
The officials have seen it. This team of people was Li Li and his party who set off from Yiwu in the early morning, and the people who spoke were Li Li and his personal guard commander Li Zhi.
For a whole day and night, Li Li and his party galloped for hundreds of miles, during which most of the soldiers' horses were already tired and lay down. I had to rest in the post stations along the way. Now. There were only about 300 people who could really keep up with Li Li's speed, and all of them were ordinary horses that had been temporarily transferred from the post station, and their own mounts would then be sent to the front line of Chencang, and then the post horses would be brought back.
Such a swift speed seems to be easy, but in fact, in order to achieve this convenience, Li Xuan and the county guards of the assassins in various states and counties have put a lot of effort into it.
But now it seems. The effort was worth it, and the speed of the march was greatly increased. Ten hours traveled more than 300 miles. This is definitely the fastest marching speed in Dahan, and it can be regarded as the first of its kind.
Judging from the red light rising from the sky, Zilong should have succeeded. However, the smell of blood in the air could be smelled dozens of miles away, which showed that this battle must have been extremely tragic and suffered heavy casualties. If Zilong captures Zhang Wei's camp, but Chen Cangcheng is captured by Zhang Wei, it will be more than worth the loss! Li Li said in a worried voice.
"This ?????? Not impossible. After hesitating for a while, Li Zhi finally had to admit that what his lord said could indeed happen.
Immediately, he comforted: "Right now, we are not far from Chen Cangcheng, and we will be able to arrive in half an hour." Judging from what has been observed so far, the battle is not over yet, and it is still too late. Even if Chencang City falls, as long as the enemy army has not taken over the whole city, we will have a chance to recapture the city. The worst result is that the last general sneaks into the city to attack and kill Zhang Lu, as long as Zhang Lu dies, the Hanzhong army is bound to be in chaos, and it will be easy for our army to recover the city. ”
When Li Li heard this, he immediately shook his head and vetoed: "No, Zhang Lu can't die right now, and he can't kill him lightly." This person is not very talented, and he kills him like a pig and a dog, but there is also a Five Bucket Rice Sect behind him, as well as those people who are related to the idle clouds and wild cranes. This kind of sect and idlers are quite troublesome, don't provoke them, once you provoke these people, they will be like maggots on tarsal bones, and they can't get rid of them. We still have a lot of things to solve urgently, and I don't have time to entangle with these people, otherwise we will delay the big thing.
In addition, once you decide to move them, you have to cut them down and wipe them out. If not, then leave him alone for the time being, and wait until the right time to make a difference. would rather provoke a gentleman than recruit villains, what he is talking about is these so-called out-of-the-world masters. ”
Before the words fell, Wang Yue, the great swordsman who had been following Li Li to the left but had never spoken, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. As far as the last general knew, there were indeed many cultivators living in seclusion in the southwestern mountains and rivers, and most of them were hermits from the Five Doumi Sect. These people are secretive, have no fixed residence, do not ask about the world, and boast that they are not stained with red dust, but most of them are stunts, happy and unruly, and the only people who are bound are their relatives and old friends. These people are better known as hermits and masters, but in fact they are a group of people who despise the king's law, who are outside the law, acting on their own whims, and completely reckless of the consequences. ”
“?????? Therefore, it is an eventful time now, and the lord cares about the world, so he has no time to take care of such idlers. Therefore, if it is not necessary, it is better not to provoke them lightly. After all, these people are unpredictable and elusive, and they are really difficult to guard against. ”
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that I am still afraid of them?" Come and kill one another, why be afraid? ”
Li Li laughed when he heard this: "Zicheng is not in a hurry, what Wang Yue said is good, and it is not a bad thing to endure for a while." In other words, these people have some ability, but they are not strong enough to pose a threat to us. The people of the grass and the wilderness, for my Xiliang Legion, what is the way? It's just that we don't have the time and energy to play a game of cat and mouse with them right now; As long as they don't come to the door, they don't need to pay attention. More things are better than less things, the world is chaotic, we should look at the world, how can there be idle time to entangle with such idlers? ”
"Well, the last general will be at the behest of the lord." Li Zhi nodded happily in response.

"Woohoo!"
"Ah??????h
Wave after wave of arrows and arrows roared in, and the armor warriors who were about to climb the city were caught off guard, and there was no way to avoid them. Within a few breaths, more than 300 armor-piercing warriors were killed by arrows and fell down screaming. At this time, Huo Ran, the three Wudou Mi Sect elders who were standing on the mountainside and commanding the Guardian Guards to attack the city, found that the hidden arrows were suddenly attacking from behind, which meant that there were still a large number of archers hidden behind him, which was ?????? Ambush!
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" Great Elder Zhang Cheng was the first to react, and in an exclamation, he turned his head to inspect the top of the mountain behind him, and once again saw a dense array of arrows piercing the night sky, whistling towards his location.
"Get out of the way!" Suddenly, Zhang Quan, who was over sixty years old, stretched out his hand to push away the two elders who were standing beside him, jumped up high, and actually took off several feet in the air, which was able to dodge the dense rain of arrows. The two elders who were pushed away by him suddenly woke up, and immediately threw themselves and rolled without thinking about it, narrowly avoiding the sudden dark arrow.
At this time, the Great Elder Zhang Gong, who jumped into the air, flipped in the air and landed on a pine tree more than ten steps away, and then raised his eyes to look up at the top of the mountain. But I saw that a brigade of Xiliang Army appeared on the top of the mountain, and the number of them was as many as six or seven thousand, and even ?????? Tens of thousands. Moreover, it is full of archery archers who are extraordinary, just the first round of test firing, only a few hundred archers rushed to release the arrows, but now a large number of people are arriving one after another, and thousands of archers have mounted their bows and wound their bows.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Quan's expression changed greatly, and his heart was anxious. He is not afraid of the strength of the Xiliang army, nor is he afraid of these archers, but what is the use of him not being afraid of dark arrows, the thousands of guardian guards around him are flesh and blood, and they are all within the range of the archers of the Xiliang army. Once these thousands of archers fired their arrows, the thousands of Protectors under his command would suffer unprecedented casualties, and it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out.
For a moment, Zhang Quan had mixed feelings and was anxious. After seeing the approximate number of the Xiliang army on the top of the mountain, he decisively gave up the idea of seizing the top of the mountain, and decided to make a desperate attempt to storm the city. Because the Xiliang army on the top of the mountain has 8,000 people, and the strength alone is 2,000 more than the guardian guards led by him, and it occupies a favorable position, condescending, and has an absolute advantage. In this case, if he led his troops to seize the top of the mountain, he would undoubtedly kill himself, and before the Protector Guard could climb up, he would be shot into a hedgehog by 8,000 Xiliang archers.
"Listen to my orders, capture the city, advance without retreat, kill with me!" The decision had been made, Zhang Quan did not hesitate any longer, immediately jumped down, shouted without hesitation, drew his sword, and led more than 5,000 armor warriors to rush straight to the city wall fearlessly.
"Bang, bang——— whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Seeing the dense swarm of armor warriors, more than 30 giant crossbows on the east side of the city were lined up on the city, and hundreds of strong wrestlers worked together, bundles of crossbow arrows like javelins were carried up to the city and put them into the arrow slots. Immediately, a powerful bowstring vibrated and a bolt of crossbow arrows shot out, roaring away at the rushing warriors.
At the same time, more than 600 archers and 300 defenders at the head of the city were waiting for the armor warriors to approach the city walls, and then they fired arrows and pushed the stones and logs that had been prepared down the city. Let these warriors who don't know whether they are alive or dead feel what it is like to die, and let them know that Chencang City is not so easy to capture, and even if it is close to the city wall, it will cost a huge price.
