Chongxi [rebirth]

Outside the city of Weizhou, the Xihuang Military Camp.

An unusually tall man stood in the tent of the central army with his hands behind his back, looking up at the map hanging in front of him. In the tent, there were three equally burly men, all of whom were important generals in the West Yellow Army.

"Tell me, is this Li Fengqi's scheme?" The man standing in the center asked.

He is Lu Qiufeng, the general of Xihuang, who has confronted Li Fengqi dozens of times in the past few years, but he still can't figure out his way.

This winter has been snowing heavily, and Xihuang's country has been greatly affected. In order to alleviate the pressure of the snow disaster, Xihuang raised its troops from all over the country and sent troops to the northern border. When Li Fengqi was seriously injured, he wanted to tear a gap in Beizhao's defense line.As long as they capture the three cities of Beizhao, they will have enough chips to negotiate terms with Beizhao.At that time, whether it is gold, silver, food, grass, or wine and women, they will be at your fingertips.

But what they never expected was that Li Fengqi's legs were healed!

In the last small-scale battle, Xihuang's morale plummeted due to Li Fengqi's sudden appearance.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, half a month had to be trimmed.

Seeing that the New Year in Beizhao was coming soon, they originally planned to launch an offensive on New Year's Eve, but unexpectedly, spies from the city came to report that all the people in Weizhou City had left the city, and Weizhou City was already an empty city.

This sudden change made Lu Qiufeng wonder if Li Fengqi had already noticed their plan.

"If Li Fengqi wanted to lure us into the urn with an empty city, he would be too straightforward." A general said, "This doesn't look like his style."

Li Fengqi's use of troops has always been cunning and changeable. You think he is going to strike east and west and hold the west side firmly, but in fact he bypasses the east and west sides and goes to the middle.In short, it is very hard to guard against.According to his style of acting, it is absolutely impossible to use such a trick that people can see through at a glance.

"But it's really strange to evacuate the people from Weizhou City at this time." Another suspicious general asked, "Have the spies found the latest news yet?"

"It's almost time to send back the news." Lu Qiufeng said.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive, the curtain of the tent behind him was lifted, a man dressed as Bei Zhao walked in, knelt down on one knee, and saluted: "General, I have already found out the situation in the city."

"Say."

"The evacuation of the people in Weizhou City seems to have nothing to do with King Yong'an. It is King Yong'an's concubine who set up a dharma ground outside the city, saying that she wanted to pray to the heavens for the snow to stop as soon as possible. All the people in the city have gone to the dharma ground to pray for blessings. I I saw that there are still many soldiers of the Northern Border Army on the execution ground." The spies reported the news one by one,

"Is this too much of a coincidence?"

"It's a bit of a coincidence." The general who had been silent before said: "But today is Beizhao's New Year's Eve. They have always believed in gods and Buddhas, so it is normal for them to pray for blessings."

When they said this, the expressions of the others became more and more hesitant.

Lu Qiufeng put his hands behind his back and said, "This is the best opportunity. If we miss this opportunity, the Beizhao Army will not be so slack again."

This is the most important reason why they chose to attack the city on New Year's Eve.

The three generals looked at each other for a while, and finally said: "The opportunity is not lost, the time will never come. Then take a gamble!"

Lu Qiufeng was obviously inclined to go to war, and several generals reached an agreement to prepare for the battle separately.

***

At this time, on the extreme north city wall.

Li Fengqi was wearing Xuanjia, with a long knife on his waist, and was looking at the direction where the Xihuang Army was stationed.

Behind him, Jiang Shu boarded the city wall and reported in a low voice: "My lord, everything is ready, just wait for the Xihuang army to attack." He paused, not sure: "Will Lu Qiufeng really be fooled? "

It is impossible for Xihuang not to know that Weizhou City is now an empty city. Jiang Shu thinks about it in another place, and thinks that if it were him, he would never rush to attack the city.

"They can't wait." Li Fengqi pursed his lips, with a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: "And they think I won't use such a straightforward strategy."

Xi Huang had been tricked by him a lot, even if he sent someone to tell them bluntly that he had set up an ambush in the empty city and waited for them to enter the urn, Lu Qiufeng would probably feel that he was playing an empty city trick.

Besides, Ye Yunting's magic field set up outside the city is also very reliable. He followed Lu Qiufeng's thinking, and there is an [-]% chance that the opponent will attack the city.

"Go down and get ready." Li Fengqi ordered.

Jiang Shu responded, and was about to turn around and leave when he heard him ask again: "How is the situation in the court?"

"The court is full of people, all of whom are chanting scriptures and praying for blessings." Jiang Shu never expected that the princess could really lure the whole city's people to the outer city.

Now that the weather is freezing, these generals, who are used to the severe cold, can't stand it anymore, but those common people, men, women, young and old, are chanting sutras devoutly against the wind and snow.

He still remembers the shock of seeing that scene for the first time.On the pitch-black execution field, only the bonfire on the altar was burning in the wind and snow, and the people below were sitting next to each other, kneeling or cross-legged, all clasping their hands together and bowing their heads to pray for blessings.The princess and the old princess were kneeling at the front of the altar, with proud postures and solemn expressions.

The old monk who was chanting in the center of the altar was not as shocked as the two of them.It's no wonder that the common people followed suit one after another, and more and more people followed suit.

After Jiang Shu finished speaking, Li Fengqi looked at him silently and said, "What else?"

and also?

He was about to say that it was nothing, when suddenly Fuzhi understood what was going on in his mind, and said: "My concubine has a clever strategy, and collected a batch of discarded cotton clothes from the army and distributed them to the people who came to pray for blessings. If the Xihuang spies saw it, they would probably believe it even more. "

The cotton-padded clothes in the army are naturally different from ordinary cotton-padded clothes. After fighting with them for so long, Xihuang knows each other very well.If the Xihuang spies saw those civilians wearing military padded clothes, they might think that the soldiers in the army also participated in the blessing ceremony.

Li Fengqi nodded slightly, showing a little pride.His princess is naturally unusual.

He originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that it was unnecessary.When Xihuang is destroyed, he will go and see for himself.

He waved his hand, motioning Jiang Shu to attend to other matters.

……

At the end of Haishi, New Year's Eve is coming to an end, and the new year is coming.

Cheers of congratulations could be faintly heard from the Beizhao army, and the forward spies returned quietly and told Lu Qiufeng about it.

"They really are slack." Lu Qiufeng looked slightly calm, pulled out the scimitar at his side, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, follow me to kill them all, and take down Weizhou City!"

The voices in the Xihuang army shook the sky.

In the dark night, 10 horses and horses rushed forward with the force of thunder. The guards on the northern city wall were probably drunk. It was not until the army approached the city that the wall was lit with smoke and a sharp horn sounded as a warning.On the city wall, soldiers shouted and footsteps hurried.

"Bump the door!" However, at this time, Xihuang's siege logs had already begun to hit the city gate vigorously.

The siege log hit the solid city gate, making a dull "dong dong" sound, but it was extraordinarily clear in the darkness.

Sure enough, the Beizhao army was thrown into disarray by the sudden attack on the city. After the city gate was knocked open, Luqiu Feng led his troops across the city wall, and then confronted Li Fengqi, who was leading the army to meet the enemy.

He reined in the reins, and the tall war horse under him stepped on the fallen city gate. He pointed his machete straight at Li Fengqi's direction, and his voice was like a bell: "King Yong'an, this Weizhou city should change hands today. !"

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Li Fengqi retorted, and raised his sword: "Kill!"

The two armies fought together in the open space between the extreme north city wall and Weizhou city.

In the dark night, the flames of war raged, the drums beat rapidly, and the sounds of soldiers shouting and fighting were endless.

Lu Qiufeng licked the blood off the scimitar, rode his horse and swung the saber, charged into the Beizhao army, pointed the saber at Li Fengqi.

Zhu Wen beside him wanted to fight, but was stopped by Li Fengqi. He swung his saber backwards, and the half-man-length thick-backed heavy saber dragged deep marks on the ground...

During the melee, the two rode their horses and galloped wildly, pointing at each other with sharp killing intent.

The heavy blades collided and passed by each other, sparks were emitted from the blades.

In front of Luqiu Feng Hengdao, his eyes swept over Li Fengqi's legs, and he smiled maliciously: "I heard that King Yong'an was poisoned by a strange poison before, and his legs are not good for walking. Looking at it now, it is no different from ordinary people."

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have time to reminisce with you." Li Fengqi sneered, but his legs on the stirrups moved imperceptibly.

It seems that he guessed right.

Lu Qiufeng's eyes flashed across, and the chances of winning were even greater in his chest.He smiled again, and when he swung the knife again, the knife hit Li Fengqi's legs directly.

He had heard before that Li Fengqi had been poisoned by a strange poison and had become a cripple, but in the previous battle when Li Fengqi suddenly led the troops to fight, he couldn't see that he had been poisoned at all, so he felt something was wrong.Try it now in a confrontation, although the other side acts as if nothing happened on the face, but the body movements can't deceive anyone.

His legs are not yet fully healed, and now he is mostly supporting himself to stabilize the morale of the army!

After Lu Qiufeng figured it out, he intentionally attacked Li Fengqi's legs, and saw that the originally calm person showed a trace of panic even though he tried his best to remain calm.

"I'm going to take your head today and sacrifice it to the heroic spirit of my Xihuang soldiers!" Lu Qiufeng's eyes sharpened, and he slashed at Li Fengqi's legs with a heavy knife.

Li Fengqi sensed his intentions, his expression was startled, and he wanted to ride his horse to dodge, but the movements of his legs were visibly sluggish, a step slower.Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, he could only roll off the horse in embarrassment to avoid it.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Lie, who was fighting the enemy bravely, shouted when he saw this, and galloped over on his horse, pulled Li Fengqi who had fallen from his horse onto his horse, and led him back to the rear.

Seeing this, Lu Qiufeng laughed loudly, and raised his voice: "King Yong'an is my defeated general, Xihuang warrior, follow me into Weizhou City!"

As soon as the words fell, the morale of Xihuang was greatly boosted, and the army of Beizhao was visibly commotioned.The army even sounded the horn of withdrawing troops.

How could Lu Qiufeng waste such a great opportunity, the vast Xihuang army flooded into the northern city wall like a flood, the morale of the Northern Zhao army plummeted, and the small part of the army that had no time to retreat fled like scattered sand.

The Xihuang Army brought in siege logs and began to hit the gate of Weizhou City again.

***

The sound of fighting spread to the outer city, and the people who were devoutly praying for blessings raised their hands to look around, with panic looming on their bewildered faces.

"what happened?"

"Why are the drums and horns sounding? Did the Xihuang army come to kill them?"

"With the prince here, even Xihuang wouldn't be able to kill him, right?"

"..."

Amidst all kinds of discussions, some people looked at Ye Yunting and the old concubine at the front of the altar, and saw that the two were still kneeling straight, with their hands clasped together to pray devoutly, turning a deaf ear to the faint sound of fighting, so they followed suit and calmed down a little. I made up my mind.

"The princess and the old princess haven't moved yet, so it must be fine."

"That's right, people from Xihuang haven't invaded since the prince was in charge, and they will definitely win this time."

The praying people whispered their opinions, and the commotion gradually calmed down.

The sound of fighting from the direction of Weizhou City has never stopped, and I don't know how long it has passed, when the horn of the retreat suddenly sounded.The people of Weizhou were no strangers to this voice, and there was a relieved smile on their faces.

"The troops are withdrawn."

"It must have been another victory."

"Sure enough, God bless Northern Xinjiang!"

However, when they were discussing, they heard another loud sound of heavy objects collapsing in Weizhou City, followed by a clearer shout of killing.Even the ground beneath him trembled slightly, as if thousands of horseshoes galloped past.

At the same time, flames ignited soaring into the sky in the city.

Someone stood up abruptly on the execution ground, his pupils reflected the blazing fire, and he murmured, "Weizhou City, is it broken?"

After the words fell, more and more people staggered to their feet and looked at each other in disbelief: "The city is broken?"

These murmurs were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, which soon aroused violent waves.It took less than a few breaths for everyone to go from disbelief to panic.

Everyone stood up one after another, pushing and shoving each other, looking at the blazing Weizhou City anxiously.
