This siege battle lasted until nightfall, so they could not meet each other.
After a whole day of fighting, coupled with the inconvenience of darkness, the shouts of death were no longer so intense.
Many soldiers were just killing the enemy with their heads down, and the only sound in their ears was the dull sound of the blade entering the flesh.
When you are tired, you find a place to sit for a while. When you are hungry, you take out your army rations and take a few bites.
Yang Shu's armor was covered with blood. He rode back to Zong Xu and asked, "General, if we continue, the casualties will be too great. Do we really have to fight like this all night?"
The army brought out by Zong Xu were all elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, but they were not afraid of these barbarians.
But these barbarians are desperate for their lives. Yang Shu thinks it is a pity to use the elites of the Northwest Army to waste their numbers with them.
While watching the battle, Zong Xu asked him: "What would you do if it were you?"
Yang Shu hesitated for a moment.
Today's personal experience on the battlefield subverted his ideas a lot, and he realized that military chess omits many details. And these details often affect the outcome of victory or defeat. Therefore, he does not dare to make random ideas now.
"Tell me, if you make a mistake, I will take care of it for you." Zong Xu said with a smile.
Yang Shu was encouraged and boldly said: "If it were me, I would send people to steal the city gate. These barbarians are not good at defending the city, and they certainly don't know much about the means of stealing the city."
Zong Xu nodded. The captain of his personal guard over there came over and reported: "General, the people have been selected, and they can go and steal the city right away."
Yang Shu was surprised. It turned out that Zong Xu had decided to steal the city?
Just listen to Zong Xu saying to him: "You are already sharp enough in making general decisions. You should be more confident in yourself. Just how to steal the city is not something you can just say. Do you dare to take the risk?
"
Yang Shu was excited: "Can I go?"
"Okay." Zong Xu said, "You choose two personal guards to follow and go with them. But you must also be prepared. This task is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will end up there. If you die in battle, I will
I will only report to the Holy One that you were hit by a stray arrow and died."
He cannot have military merit, and Zong Xu will naturally not say that he allows him to go to the battlefield. Therefore, if he dies, he will die in a cowardly manner.
"How are you doing? Do you dare to go?" Zong Xu asked.
Yang Shu took a deep breath: "I'm going!"
Zong Xu watched Yang Shu gradually submerged in the darkness, and sighed after a long time.
"What a waste of natural resources!"
The guard captain didn't understand: "General, you mean..."
Zong Xu raised his chin at his back: "If I, the son of the Zong family, started to teach on the battlefield at the age of twelve, I would be able to stand alone now."
The guard captain smiled and said: "The general really loves talents."
Zong Xu said: "With one more excellent general, many soldiers will die less."
The guard captain said sadly: "I'm afraid half of the brothers who went on this expedition will have their bones buried here."
Zong Xu said nothing, only patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up and go have something to eat and drink. There will be a hard fight tonight."
"yes."
…
Not far outside the city gate, on a remote hilltop, there was a figure moving in the darkness.
"Khan, I brought the things." A foreigner said.
The person in the shadow moved and came out of the hiding place. When the moonlight came down, it was Su Tu's cold and handsome face that was revealed.
"Set it up." He ordered calmly.
"yes."
They did not light a fire, but just used the faint moonlight to set up a crossbow machine.
This crossbow machine was obtained from the Qi army and is very rare.
"Khan, it's settled." The guard replied respectfully.
Su Tu walked over, leaned down, and aimed at the target through Wangshan.
"It's a bit far." He whispered.
Here, we are at least two hundred feet away from the Chinese army, which is the ultimate range of the powerful crossbow.
It has to be said that Zong Xu, a famous Qi general, lived up to his reputation and left no flaws at all.
Not only did he choose the command distance just right, but he was very careful and arranged shield guards around him. In addition, he didn't even light a torch in the dark, so it was impossible to tell who was him.
Su Tu aimed for a while and then gave up.
He asked the bodyguard: "How many people do we have now?"
The guard replied: "Only your Snow Wolf Guards have arrived, there are about a hundred people. Our soldiers are rushing over overnight and will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"The day after tomorrow, it's too late. Zong Xu will definitely end the battle before tomorrow." Su Tu pondered.
If he wanted to kill Zong Xu, the safest way would be to launch a surprise attack while he was attacking the city. However, the intelligence network of the Qi army should not be underestimated. He was afraid of arousing Zong Xu's vigilance, so he had to keep the main force in the royal court.
Su Tu thought for a long time and still felt that he could not give up this opportunity.
The sooner someone like Zong Xu is killed, the better. Now let him enter the gravel slope city gate, who knows if he can really last three months.
He had put so much effort into temporarily putting aside the huge hidden dangers within the tribe just to kill Zong Xu, how could he give up so easily?
Only if Zong Xu dies will such sacrifice be worth it.
"Call the Snow Wolf Guards." Su Tu finally made a decision. Under the moonlight, he raised his head slightly, revealing his sharp and sharp jaw line. His face was obviously very delicate, but there was a cruel and bloody aura, "Attack the Qi army.
Chinese army, push Zong Xu into range!"
"yes."
He turned to look at the old servant standing quietly on the other side: "You want to avenge your grandmother, now you have a chance..."
…
The big bird has finished its work. Mingwei and Ning Xiu briefly drank some water and continued to watch the battle from the rear, guarding against possible side attacks.
The little white snake in the sleeve moved, stretched out and said softly: "Sir, the smell of blood is too strong. My senses are a little off. I don't know if I am right."
Mingwei said: "That's what you say."
"Yes." Little White Snake said, "I feel something approaching. A living person doesn't look like a living person, and a dead person doesn't look like a dead person. It's very strange."
"A living person doesn't look like a living person, and a dead person doesn't look like a dead person?" Ming Wei asked curiously, "A zombie?"
"I don't know, it's a bit familiar, but I can't smell it carefully now."
Mingwei thought for a while and said to Ning Xiu: "Sir, let's go take a look. It would be better to make a mistake, otherwise it would be bad if we miss it."
"Um."
When they arrived at the place pointed by the little white snake, the Snow Wolf Guards had already assembled and entered the Qi State formation.
These Hu cavalry were all elite, and because they were waiting for work, they caused the Qi army to suffer greatly as soon as they joined the battle.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, and the general in charge of the rear quickly mobilized his troops to surround them.
Mingwei and Ning Xiu found a few sneaky figures in the crowd.
"This smell is indeed a bit familiar." Mingwei murmured.
"Do you know it?" Ning Xiu asked.
Mingwei thought for a while: "Oh, are they those people?"
When she took the caravan to Hu Di, she passed by a small town and met Nasu there.
She nodded: "Sure enough, they are the living dead guarding the tomb of Princess Yongqing." (To be continued)
