Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

After a short half-day rest, the Tubo army, whose morale had recovered, launched another fierce offensive against Qinzhou City under Li Lizun's personal command.

As for the guards of the Song Dynasty on the city wall, under Lu Ci's order, only a group of the most energetic guards remained, and they fought back with arrows without fear.

When the battle was at its most intense, Di Qing, who had unwittingly fallen asleep in the bathtub, finally woke up due to exhaustion of physical strength, and second, because of an ulterior distraction.

When he learned that the front line was on fire again, he was both annoyed and anxious.

He grabbed the bow and arrow in a hurry, and the armor was simply put on the body while rushing towards the city wall.

It was also because of his impressive physical strength, he came all the way at a fast speed, only panting a little more quickly, and his face was not even red.As soon as he rushed to the bottom of the city tower, he was about to climb the ladder, when he saw the most striking Gongzu at a glance.

There was a gentle smile on the corner of Lu Ci's lips as always. Even though the battle situation was very anxious, the arrows were about to be exhausted, and the situation seemed to be getting worse, he still looked calm and relaxed.

Calmness is like panic, and it has always been contagious. Under his influence, even though Li Chao knew that the arrows were running out and he was about to run out, he couldn't help but panic.

What he was looking for Lu Ci to discuss at this time was the tactic of capturing the thief and the king that General Cao Wei had deployed before leaving.

After listening to Lu Ci, he shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't trust Li Junwei's ability, but that this strategy is too risky, and it depends on whether they are willing to cooperate."

Li Chao's archery skills are excellent, but Li Lizun is a life-saving one—from the beginning to the end, he never showed his face in the middle of a shot, and he was surrounded by many armored men.

It is not easy to get close to Li Lizun and take his life.

Li Chao said anxiously: "The final general only needs more than a hundred cavalry to open the way, and he will be able to get close to the monk!"

Lu Ci said gently: "Li Junwei is brave and loyal, I deeply admire it. It's just that the monk is cunning and always cherishes his life. This strategy relies on a person who is careless and caught off guard. How can it be guaranteed that he will stay where he is in a daze, instead of turning his head and going away?" run?"

"If you ask the monk to escape, it will be tantamount to scaring the snake away. If you try to get closer, you will be hopeless. And if you fail to achieve your goal, Li Junwei went deep into the enemy camp alone, what will happen?"

I am afraid that he will be surrounded by the enemy and die on the spot.

Li Chao never dreamed that he would hear such concern from the civil servants who had always looked down on them, the "mud legs" of his followers.

His heart was hot, and he was so moved that he couldn't speak for a moment.

After hearing Lu Ci's last sentence, he woke up suddenly, and said without hesitation: "The last general is not afraid—"

Lu Ci said helplessly: "I fought side by side with Li Junwei. How can I not know that you are loyal and courageous, and you are definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and afraid of fighting? It's just that the two sides have a huge disparity in strength. The Flying Eagle Battalion is also the most elite combat force. If Li Junwei makes a slight mistake, our morale will drop sharply, and our combat power will also suffer a severe setback. I'm afraid it will be terrible if we retreat and defend the city."

Apart from the two points he pointed out, what he didn't mention was the point of control in the barracks.

When Cao Weiyuan knew Qinzhou, he valued Li Chao the most, appreciated him a lot, and specially created a battalion of flying eagles for him to display his strengths.

The latter was extremely grateful for Cao Wei's promotion, and had always obeyed Cao Wei's exhortation to "obey Lu Ci's instructions" before he left office, and never violated it.

If it weren't for the unreserved support and coordination of Li Chao, who is extremely prestigious in the army, although Lu Ciming had the power to dispatch Qinzhou's army, the orders were carried out layer by layer, and the subordinates had their own thoughts. But there is no guarantee to what extent it will be implemented.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to let Li Chao go, and it was as if he was putting all his eggs in one basket to carry out the plan.

Li Chao heard that Lu Ci was determined and was persuaded, so he murmured for a moment, and finally chose to remain silent.

I don't know when he has climbed to the top of the city, but Di Qing's eyes light up after hearing the second half.

However, before the words of voluntary volunteering came out of his mouth, he silently swallowed them back.

——Gongzu, who was most concerned about his safety, would never agree with him committing suicide.Then, if I made this frivolous request in public, it would definitely embarrass my grandfather.

But let him turn a blind eye to the opportunity that was almost presented to him, he really couldn't do it.

Di Qing was in a dilemma, holding his bow tightly, and made up his mind for a while. After Li Chao left, he stepped forward, mustered up his courage, and said to Lu Ci: "Grandfather, I... have a presumptuous request."

Lu Ci's mind was still on the battlefield where the battle was fierce. He only woke up when he heard Di Qing's voice, and asked unexpectedly, "Why did you wake up so early?"

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, and heard Gongzu say: "I even asked someone to light up a few more incense sticks, just to let you rest for a while, so you don't have to come here too early. You are still young, if you Excessive consumption will definitely do harm to the body."

Di Qing stared at Lu Ci in a daze, her heart softened and she was completely moved.

No wonder he slept so deeply for the first time, it turned out that his grandfather had specially ordered him...

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Ci thought it was because he didn't believe him and didn't dare to refute, so he sighed and said old-fashionedly: "As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of your eyes. Don't take it as an alarmist, I will not fool you for nothing. .”

Di Qing shook his head quickly: "Qing will definitely obey the words of the grandfather, and there is absolutely no reason not to believe it."

Lu Ci glanced at him.

After getting along for so long, he didn't know that although Di Qing was young and honest, he was very determined in his heart.

Now that people have come here, it would be bad if he forcibly sends people back to rest.

So he raised his eyebrows helplessly, and said loosely, "...today I will let you stay for another two hours at most."

Sure enough, the dignified Di Qing cheered: "Thank you, Grandpa!"

Lu Ci couldn't help laughing: "It's obvious that you are making you suffer and work hard, but judging by your reaction, it seems like you have taken advantage of something."

The corners of Di Qing's lips were pursed vigorously, but they couldn't restrain themselves from rising.

In his eyes, it was indeed a big deal.

For many years, he has only brazenly accepted the care and care of his father-in-law, and failed to pay a single bit, just trying not to cause extra trouble as much as possible.

Now it's finally a godsend opportunity, with this little skill that I learned from my father-in-law's blessing, I can finally do something for my father-in-law and pay back a little, how could he not be happy?

——Before such strong obsession and concern, even ten times stronger tranquilizing incense would not be effective.

Facing the menacing and ferocious Tubo soldiers, although he was new to the battlefield, he had never been afraid at all.

Not only because he is condescending and wearing armor, but because he always remembers what is behind him.

——Behind him is the unsuspecting Song Dynasty city, and in the city is his most beloved grandfather, who is willing to risk his life to protect and repay him.

You can't take half a step back, and you can't quit for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Ci was about to leave, Di Qing woke up like a dream, and grabbed a piece of Lu Ci's sleeve without thinking: "Grandpa, Gongzu. I still have something to say."

Although the strength of the grip was not strong, Lu Ci was a little surprised.

He smiled leisurely, stood still, turned around, and looked at Di Qing with great interest: "Brother Di, please tell me."

Di Qing's cheeks became hot and his heart skipped a few beats when he watched him, but after all, he remembered that the business was important, so he quickly calmed down and elaborated on his little plan.

The difference between him and the other soldiers who are happy as long as they can shoot the enemy soldiers is that from the beginning to the end, he was distracted to stare at the enemy general with the most flashy armor and the most majestic horse - Li Lizun.

However, Li Lizun valued his own life very much, and he was firmly in the middle army all the time, only commanding from behind, and never approached half a step within his range.

A few times it was a little closer, but after he calculated it, he still felt more than [-]% sure, fearing that it would startle the snake, he had to bear the pain and give up.

Wanting to get close to Li Lizun, Li Chao wanted to take the initiative to go out of the city and launch a surprise attack with a small number of cavalry to create chaos. It is bound to be difficult to implement.

What Di Qing thought was the complete opposite.

Rather than taking the initiative to approach Li Lizun, it is better to try to get Li Lizun to come closer.

Then when will Li Lizun give up his vigilance and take the initiative to step forward?

It's nothing more than when you think you have a chance to win, or when you find a weakness in the Song Army and are eager for quick success...

After Lu Ci listened carefully, after pondering for a moment, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

Di Qing couldn't believe it: "Is it really possible?"

Lu Ci teased him, "Do I seem to be a selfish person?"

Di Qing shook his head vigorously.

Lu Ciyuan wanted to make fun of him, but seeing his serious appearance, he couldn't bear to tease him, so he said solemnly: "If it can be done, then it would be great, even if it doesn't work, there is no loss at all. In your heart Don't take too much burden, and your performance will be abnormal."

Di Qing nodded like pounding garlic.

Lu Ci told him a few more words before turning around and leaving leisurely.

As soon as Lu Ci left and Di Qing turned around, he suddenly returned to his expressionless indifference.

He didn't pick a place, he glanced around and found an empty space, and leaned down.

Then he swiftly took out his bow and arrow, and fired at the bottom as usual.

Arrows never go unnoticed.

In this siege, because Li Lizun was prepared and the arrows were not as strong as before, in this stalemate, the casualties of the Tubo army wearing clumsy armor were no more than those in the first confrontation, but they could not really get close. The city wall is half a step away.

Before the arrows were completely exhausted, Lu Ci ordered people to stop the arrows, and then ordered people to immediately set up the improved forty bed crossbows.

As a result, what made Song Jun's side feel dumbfounded was that even though the arrow stopped suddenly, Li Lizun, who had lost trust in Song Jun's 'credibility', was still full of vigilance because he had been played around not long ago.

Li Lizun was even furious, and said without even thinking about it: "This guy still wants to repeat his old tricks. Could it be that he thinks I'm brainless!?"

The dead body You Wen, but because he tasted the sweetness on the other side, he still regarded him as a fool who didn't know how to learn, so he wanted to continue playing tricks!

So, in this real gap, instead of taking advantage of the situation, the Tubo army took a step back without thinking, stared at Song Jun, and insisted that this was another fatal scam.

Lu Ci: Not really.

Li Lizun, who thinks he is smart, realizes that although the Song army has a strong foundation, its arrows are by no means endless, and what is exposed before his eyes is a completely empty space...

One by one, the powerful bed crossbows flashing with cold light and capable of piercing and rewiring have been successfully placed in place. Under the control of the soldiers, they aimed murderously at the Tubo soldiers who were like frightened birds.

Li Lizun's face was numb.

This is extremely hateful, extremely damnable, despicable and shameless... Song people!
