Cang Ri Qing Lan

Shen Haozhe rushed to the corner of the city, reined in his horse and turned around, Huang Mi was blinded by the ink-like armor and the standing horse.Looking from the bottom of the slope, it looks like a military god in front of the casting city, which is unshakable!

The cavalry who followed were startled and almost wanted to run away, but before they could change their minds, a long knife slapped him head-on!Hearing a "buzz", he flew out of the horse and bumped into his companion behind him, and the two of them fell down together.Before he landed, he saw Qingguang Xuanfei slashing several people in front of him continuously, the blade slashed heavily into the leather armor, but the force carried by it was enough to crush their bones!

The people behind were blocked like this, half of their vigor was lost immediately, and no one stepped forward for a while, forming a circle around Shen Haozhe, and the water was blocked in an instant.

In the stable for the horses, Shen Haozhe held the knife in one hand and pointed at the ground obliquely, and stood up with pedals.At the right time, when the wind was exhausted and the air calmed down, I saw that his face was still calm, he didn't see the panic of being in a desperate situation, but a mountain-like aura seeped from him, condensed the surrounding atmosphere, and made the enemies retreat. .

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew towards it with the sound of piercing through the air, coming as fast as lightning!

Shen Haozhe was slightly moved, and swiped the knife horizontally, but was shaken by the shock, the blade trembled non-stop!

This arrow seemed to be beating war drums in the ears of the enemy, and the morale of the captured soldiers doubled again, shouting in unison, and rushing forward without giving up their lives.

Everyone in the city clenched their fists, seeing the flashes of swords from above, the general immediately got a few more corpses, they were sure and applauded.He Jing was mixed with worry and joy. Although he admired Shen Haozhe's bravery, it was definitely not an option to consume him like this, and he was even more anxious when he saw Prince Yi's indifferent appearance.Little did they know that the arrow just now threatened Shen Haozhe more than the soldiers surrounding the city.

Lightly glanced at the fierce battle below the city, Cang Lan cast her eyes on the red handsome flag in the distance.The arrow just now was shot from that side, it was [-] steps away from the city, and the stamina of the arrow was so strong, the range of this arrow is no less than that of a huge crossbow that can only be launched by everyone working together.Such a person is really a tricky and fun thing in the enemy army.

"Pull the rope." Cang Lan ordered briefly, "The ballista fires, and the archers cover."

The generals who watched the battle in fear suddenly took orders.It was only then that He Jing remembered that there was another method, and secretly scolded himself for being confused.

Shen Haozhe is worthy of being Shen Haozhe, and some of the chaos army also noticed the ropes lowered from the top of the city.Immediately swiping the sword, he forced a space of more than one meter in the dense crowd, clamped the horse close to the wall, turned around and grabbed the knot and wrapped it around his arm.

"Pull." Cang Lan gave an order, and saw that the soldier who had judged accurately just now did not neglect, and pulled the rope with all his strength.The enemy soldiers who were chasing came up, but they missed nothing. When the target rose into the air, arrows and rocks intertwined like a net.

Shen Haozhe killed himself in an instant, the blood altitude was still rising, and he heard a beating under his feet, and this round of siege by the enemy soldiers began.

The leading general is still in the air, and his life is hanging by a thread. If he doesn't attack now, when will he wait?The enemy army regrouped and swarmed.

In the enemy's formation, the archers also took aim at this first-class achievement one after another, and Shen Haozhe became the target of everyone's criticism, and he swung his feather arrows into pieces with a flick of his fingers.He is defending from left to right, but after seeing a ray of cold light, he shoots first, piercing through super arrows and grabbing the door!The arrow came so fast that he swung his saber and only touched the feather of the arrow. The arrow was deflected slightly, grazed his cheek hard, and nailed into the city wall.

The crowd was still in shock, but they saw Shen Haozhe touch the wall with his foot, swing away more than a foot, and shoot another powerful arrow close to the place where he just stopped!It was actually two arrows fired in succession!

"General Tiangong!" He Jing saw it clearly, there are not many people in the world who can shoot two arrows at once and be so accurate.I don't know if it was an illusion, but after saying this, he felt that Cang Lan's smile was more perfect, but after a closer look, he felt that he didn't pay attention to what he said, and looked at the thousands of troops below the city as if watching the scenery, and only ordered the attack from time to time. All can effectively block the enemy's charge.

Seeing Shen Haozhe use his strength to connect the rope with the arrows deep into the wall, and accelerate his ascent by more than ten feet, the enemy generals who attacked the city gradually felt that the soldiers not only did not have the panic of being leaderless, but were more orderly and orderly, and everyone was surprised.

"Tie the long rope to the log and push it down the city."

There was a commotion in the enemy's rear, and a general in blue came out in a row from afar, Cang Lan ordered, glanced at the soldiers in a hurry and said again:

"Xing Ye, you go."

A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but Xing Ye did not hesitate in his movements, and the rolling log rolled into the city in an instant.Almost at the moment when Shen Haozhe soared up and reached the top of the city, two arrows roared from the blue-clothed general's hands first, and the momentum was faster than before!Fortunately, he was well prepared this time, he grabbed the knife and dragged it horizontally, and knocked down one abruptly, but at the same time, the direction of the arrow was completely different, and the backhand was thrown back, but he swung it in vain. It's too late.

I just felt that the long rope in my hand was loose, and I lost my focus.

"Great General!" He Jing exclaimed while leaning on the wall, suddenly felt a flash of white shadow beside his eyes, and rushed down to the city.Seeing these two arrows, the enemy army under the city became excited again, and their shouts resounded through the sky.

Beside the ear, the shouts of the enemy crowd were raging, and he clenched his hands suddenly. Shen Haozhe looked up at the sky in disbelief, his long silver hair fluttering in the backlight, and that smile that he always thought was not a smile made him laugh at this moment. Bewildered, he still talked about it vaguely, but he didn't come. With that impeccable smile, a feeling similar to trust spread in his heart.

"You are so heavy." Seeing that Shen Haozhe had no intention of changing the status quo at all, Cang Lan decided to remind him.Hooking the city wall with one hand and stepping on the side of the wall can barely support the two of them, but it is very difficult to pull him up.

His face blushed suspiciously, Shen Haozhe raised his hand in a panic and thrust his sword into the gap of the city wall.Just as he was about to climb up the wall with his strength, the double arrows shot again!But this time they all aimed at the immobile Cang Lan.

Almost without thinking, Shen Haozhe temporarily changed his posture, turned his back to the incoming arrow and hugged the person in front of him.The extremely close contact almost made him unable to tell whether the hot body temperature was his own or the other party's.

"it hurts."

There was no pain as expected, only a deep tone of voice that was completely inaudible and the sound of gold and stone mingling in the heart like a beating drum.My heart trembled, and the voice said again: "Hao Zhe, it's good that you are so enthusiastic... But, the chrome on the armor hurts me so much."

Shen Haozhe was taken aback, he didn't have time to care about Cang Lan's teasing, and was surprised to find that Xing Ye was hanging by his side holding the rope, and he realized that he had shot down the strong arrow just now.

Xing Ye stretched out his hand and helped Shen Haozhe up the city wall. Seeing Cang Lan jumping in, he just turned around and followed, but his expression was really not good.He grasped the rope and came down just in time to see Cang Lan's tentative hand forcefully push aside an arrow. With the strength of that arrow, if he came half a step late, he couldn't imagine whether Cang Lan would be able to defuse another arrow miraculously and safely. Shen Haozhe was nailed to the ground.

The three of them returned safely, and the generals immediately surrounded them, praising the two of them as heroes.Contrary to the decline in morale and the sharp decline in the offensive, there was a burst of joy from the top of the city, and thousands of soldiers cheered up bravely, and their morale became more determined.Cang Lan ordered the ballistas and catapults guarding the city to be divided into several groups to take turns to fire according to the order, and everyone obeyed.I saw him standing firmly on the top of the city, pointing at all the sharpness of the enemy.Xiaocheng's defense equipment was already complete, but not long after, the enemy was suppressed by a well-coordinated attack.

In the distance, I saw the blue-clothed general galloping back and forth on his horse, stretching his bow again and again towards the top of the city, but he could not lead the army forward any more.Another half an hour later, the battle situation was at a stalemate, and Hui's army began to retreat.This time was different from the previous ones, the retreat was quick and without chaos, and they quickly withdrew four miles away like an ebbing tide, leaving wreckage all over the city.

Standing behind Cang Lan, Qingling feels that he is like an eagle in the sky, soaring freely, and everything is under his feet.So much so that he had already seen a little bit of fresh red under his white clothes, but he still held back and didn't go forward.After staring at it silently for a long time, he turned to Shen Haozhe, only to find that the other party was also staring at the trace in a daze, and his heart suddenly twitched.

"Didn't Jiang Lin go back to the city early? Tell him to come up." Everyone was uncertain what Cang Lan's smile meant, only Shen Haozhe's eyes flashed and he recovered from the bloodstain.

"You led the troops in pursuit, but you didn't listen to orders, which caused thousands of casualties to your subordinates, and put the general in danger for your troops to break through. Jiang Lin, do you plan to take responsibility?"

"The last... The last general deserves to die... Please... please spare your life..." Jiang Lin escaped from death just now, and he was already frightened, but now he was crawling on the ground trembling, how could he have the slightest majesty of a general .

At this point, everyone finally understood that the previous words of "at your own risk" were not meant to squeeze Shen Haozhe for military power, and Cang Lan was actually targeting Jiang Lin.Pursuing responsibility now is to rectify military discipline and kill everyone. Jiang Lin happened to be the one who hit the mark.It's just that only Shen Haozhe guessed the intention of Cang Lan Zhun Jiang Lin to send troops in advance, and if he was allowed to lead 3000 troops out of the city alone, thousands of people might be buried with him.Jiang Lin is incompetent, death is not a pity, but for those thousands of soldiers, at least he must try his best to avoid vain sacrifices, so he forced him to fight.

"Forgive me? I didn't say I wanted to kill you."

Cang Lan was still laughing, and everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard him say: "But if I let you go like this, I won't be able to explain to the soldiers who died in the battle. How about this, since you are the first offender, you will start from today. Starting as a soldier, I will promote you to a higher level if you make a meritorious service, and I believe that you will be able to return to your post in the near future."

Everyone just felt the chill behind him, and Jiang Lin couldn't stand up for a long time. Although he survived temporarily, everyone knew in his heart that his official position was based on another kind of skill, and he had to be at the bottom Starting as a pawn, don't talk about making meritorious service, I'm afraid even saving your life will be a problem.

"Pass down my order. From now on, anyone in the army who does not obey the order will be executed. On the contrary, those who perform well will be rewarded based on their merits regardless of their status."

Everyone was excited, He Jing's opinion of Cang Lan had changed greatly in his heart, and he immediately asked people to spread the word loudly.During the battle of defending the city just now, the soldiers defending the city already had some confidence in the new boss, and this made them even more awed.

Some people were ordered to be vigilant, and the rest of the soldiers were to rest and prepare for battle. All the generals were ordered to disperse. Cang Lan smiled at Shen Haozhe:

"If you want to disobey orders and make extraordinary achievements, you must at least be as capable as a great general, right? Haozhe." Can't tell whether this is a sarcasm or a compliment, Shen Haozhe can't help but call him that affectionately judge:

"If you don't have the help of the prince, I am afraid that the lower officials will go and never return."

"You're being polite to me now? The general was unstoppable just now." Seeing Cang Lan raise her eyebrows, Shen Haozhe unexpectedly smiled:

"It's just because the lower officials know that with the lord's intelligence, as long as I can hold on for a while, there will definitely be a way to rescue me."

"You can really trust me." Cang Lan was a little surprised. "I might let you go to die, so that I have a chance to get more military power in my hands."

"Maybe, but you didn't do that after all." Shen Haozhe lowered his eyes and landed on the red spots on his white clothes, as if he was recalling something: "You are willing to take a knife for someone else, so why can't I take a gamble?"

Cang Lan narrowed her eyes, looking angry for a moment, then smiled again:

"That's true. Are you so moved now that you want to promise yourself?"

"You..." Shen Haozhe really wanted to think that he was joking, but [-]% of his eyes were serious, knowing that he intended to end the topic just now, he still became nervous: "My lord's wound seems to have opened again, I'd better go back to the residence and ask the doctor See what matters."

"Yeah, it hurts so much after you say that." Cang Lan covered the wound, "I'm afraid I won't be able to walk back without anyone helping me."

Shen Haozhe couldn't see that he was acting, he still hesitated for a while.Before he could make up his mind, he saw Qing Ling walking over, grabbing his arm and hanging it on his shoulder.

"Qingling..." Cang Lan smiled wryly, and unexpectedly let Shen Haozhe go, and put it on his shoulder.From a distance, it doesn't look like being supported by someone, but it looks a bit like protecting the other party.

Just now Shen Haozhe used his willingness to take the risk to save Qingling as a standard, it was really wrong, he would definitely not do it for others.Most of the rescue of Shen Haozhe was just to buy the morale of the army. One must know that with General Shen's prestige in the army, it would be twice the result with half the effort.What's more, Cang Lan's goal is not just the military power of the Southwest Army, and it will be a greater gain to let this kind of person work for him in the future.In fact, Shen Haozhe didn't understand that Cang Lan's motivation for saving Qingling was completely different from saving himself, but he didn't say it.

"My lord, you can't move too much with this injury..." Tang Tuo frowned, his eyes, which had only one slit, were completely threaded.

"Hmm." Cang Lan took a sip of water and asked Xing Ye to help him re-wrap the wound. Seeing his nonchalant appearance, Tang Tuo had no choice but to give up: "My lord, the wounded person who came with your carriage is fine, and I want to see you." Do you agree to see him?"

"The wounded?...Yiyan?" After thinking for a while, he was about to answer when a soldier outside the door suddenly reported:

"My lord! It's not good, the Hui thief has arrived with reinforcements!"

"How many?" Cang Lan's calm tone immediately reassured the people who came to report.

"Go back to the prince, it seems that there are more than [-]."

In the depths of the yellow sand, the snow-white tents seem to be connected to the sky, densely packed together.

"The Hui thief has already set up camp here, and it seems that they have no plans to attack for the time being."

"There are [-] people in the vanguard,... but only [-] in the follow-up army?" Cang Lan looked into the distance, as if talking to herself.

"Look at the 2 horses with a lot of equipment, they should have brought the whole army's supplies, so they arrived at this time." Shen Haozhe said.

"My lord, how about mobilizing Monan's troops here now?" He Jing actually asked Cang Lan this time.

"Then why don't they attack now, but wait for our reinforcements to arrive?" He Jing was taken aback when he heard this, and looked at Shen Haozhe, but he saw that there seemed to be admiration in his eyes:

"Hui's army has more cavalry, so it's better to fight in the field. The previous raid failed, and our army is prepared. Instead of storming the city, it is really better to use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and fight our army outside the city."

"What the lord means is that the Hui army's move is to lure our army in Monan to come to help in a hurry, wait for work, and prevent our army from being killed?" He Jing suddenly realized that if the army in Monan wanted to come to help, it would come in the same direction as the two opposing armies. The shape is triangular, and Nanhui's army can cut off the way before it enters the city.

"As long as the Hui army takes advantage of its superiority to defeat the reinforcements, the garrison in the city will be in a state of confusion. When the time comes to attack the city, it will surely achieve miraculous results. Helian Yuya is indeed worthy of both wisdom and courage." Shen Haozhe spoke calmly, but He Jing felt chills in his heart :

"So, the reinforcements can't come?" After finishing speaking, he said worriedly, "If they don't come, then... with the enemy, if they want to forcibly attack the city, it may be difficult for only the tens of thousands of defenders in the city. Handle."

"If you attack the city by force, there is nothing to be afraid of. The way to fight depends on the sky, the earth, and the people. Now that we occupy the geographical advantage, they rely on the large number of people. If we really have to compete, we all have no [-]% chance of winning." Shen Haozhe pondered. "Helian Yuya is full of tricks, and he probably wouldn't use such a low-level method unless he had to. I'm afraid he will make another surprise attack."

"Since it's heaven, earth, and people..." Cang Lan stretched out her hand, letting the strong south wind blow over her palm, "So what about that day?"

"It's late autumn, the wind is high and things are dry, what the lord means..." He Jing thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "They will use fire to attack?!"

"Xiaocheng is high, if I attack the city, I might as well take advantage of the strong south wind to blow out the fire, and the fire attack can be regarded as an opportunity." Cang Lan finally looked back at He Jing, "But when will the attack be the key. "

Tang Tuo, who was following the city wall, had been staring blankly at the conversations of these people. Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forgive me for your boldness...According to the view of the sky... Tonight, the southwest wind will blow violently." .”

Shen Haozhe paused, looked at the floating clouds where he was for a long while: "This celestial phenomenon does look like there will be a strong wind." Looking at Tang Tuo, he said again, "Mr. has learned a lot, and few people who live in Monan can predict this wind." inferred."

"Grassmen study astronomical phenomena and gain a little... but they are all useless techniques." Tang Tuo nags.

"How can there be useless techniques in this world? It just depends on where it is used." Cang Lan said a few words so that Tang Tuo felt a deep sense of understanding, and was still speechless. He Jing was worried and brought the words back to the business:

"In this way, our reinforcements can't arrive, and the enemy is planning to attack the city, how should we resist it?" At this time, the two generals are still in the mood to talk about other things...

"I can't be sure that the other party will use this trick." Cang Lan smiled, still looking tepid.

"Even so... Just in case..."

"Then tell me how to defend against it?" Cang Lan said indifferently, intending to see He Jing's ability.

"...The general thought that the dry and flammable things in the city should be removed immediately and buried or wet with water, and then store water for later use. Most of the city is made of earth and stone, so it should not be out of control."

"Precautions are necessary, but at best you can protect yourself, and it is not the way to defeat the enemy."

"Then..." He Jing listened to Cang Lan's words and took it for granted. He looked at Shen Haozhe anxiously, but saw that he was still calm:

"Since the lord has anticipated the enemy's plot, he must have a way to deal with it."

"Don't you think highly of me?" Cang Lan rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, and a smile appeared on Shen Haozhe's face again.

He Jing who was at the side suddenly felt that he had a slight chance of winning for no reason. He had followed the general for so many years, and he could count the number of times he had seen him smile on his fingers.

"Forget it, Miss Nengbo smiles, and I admit no matter how big the misunderstanding is."

Everyone choked on the words, Shen Haozhe's face turned blue and red, Cang Lan said again:

"How long does it take from the camp in Monan to Xiaocheng?"

"The [-] troops will arrive in about two hours with light armor and rapid advance." He Jing was still shocked that someone would make such a joke about their mighty general, but Shen Haozhe had already replied quickly.

"Then General Lao will personally send them to Xiaocheng to help out." Seeing that Shen Haozhe tried his best to draw his subordinates' attention back, Cang Lan smiled brightly.

"Didn't the lord say that reinforcements can't come?" He Jing finally came to his senses and wondered.

"Originally it wasn't possible, but when the time comes, it will be possible."

"My lord wants to flank them back and forth when they attack the city?" Shen Haozhe pondered, "But if you don't grasp one well, you may be overcome by it instead."

"So it's up to you, General, you can just slow down and get to the vicinity before midnight..." Cang Lan smiled, stepped forward and said something, and said, "My life is up to you!" You have it."

Shen Haozhe was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't know how true these words were, and he didn't want to think about them.She turned around with her fists clasped, never raising her head to confirm Cang Lan's expression:

"Your Majesty bid farewell."
