Shengle is the old capital of Wei State. It was built to resist the nomads in the north. The city wall is high and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.Wei Emperor Tuoba Tao urgently ordered Weiyuan General Xie Qichen to change his path to Shengle, even if the blood flowed like a river, he must win Shengle in the shortest time.The edict ordered Situ Zhang Sun Han to lead the West Road Army and Xie Qichen to switch defenses to block the reinforcements from the direction of Rouran.

Even if there is no urgent order from the emperor, Xie Qichen will take Shengle at all costs. According to reports from scouts, Rouran has cut off the food road and the army has no supplies. Without food, they will be defeated without a fight, and the safety of the emperor who is far away in Pingcheng is in danger.

Xie Qichen led his army to Shengle in the starry night, camped five miles outside Shengle city, quickly set up a siege position, and started a tug-of-war with the Duosu Feng Department under the moat.Duo Sufeng relied on the moat, and Duolun supervised the battle. He kept harassing but did not entangle with Wei Jun. Two days later, it was basically a small fight, and the periphery of Shengle was still controlled by Duo Sufeng. .

The big tent of the Chinese army stayed up all night, Xie Qichen summoned all the generals and military leaders to come to discuss matters, the topographic map and the sand table were full of people, and there were many people talking, but so far no combat strategy has been drawn up.The army will run out of food in a few days, and Sun Hanruo, the leader of the west road, can't resist Rouran's reinforcements, let alone capture Sheng Le, when the time comes, they will face the enemy, and their entire army will also be wiped out...In such a pessimistic situation Under the emotion, Xie Qichen slapped his palm on the sand table angrily, and there was a sudden silence in the tent.

He waved his hand wearily, and said, "Let's all go down, we'll discuss it tomorrow."

Since it was known that the food road was cut off, the daily rations in the army have been limited, so save as much as you can.As the leader of an army, Xie Qichen set an example by ordering all armies and ministries to save as much food as possible to prepare for the war.In the past few days, what Zhiqing ate was only a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, barely enough to be seventy percent full.She is an idler who doesn't have to work and doesn't feel full to eat, let alone these soldiers who go to the battlefield to fight.She suddenly thought of King Dali of Yuchi Building. When he was not saving food, he didn't have enough rations according to the rations allocated to each person and would rob scholars. Now he only has one steamed bun every day. Is he going to be so hungry that he has no strength?

Zhiqing, who was standing in the corner, couldn't help sighing, and when she looked up, she found that all the people in the Chinese army's tent had disappeared, and Xie Qichen was sitting in front of the table, propping his head on one hand, frowning deep in thought.Zhiqing didn't want to disturb him, so she walked out of the camp lightly.Everyone in the kitchen rested, and Zhiqing could only heat Xie Qichen's useless dinner on the stove by himself.There was only gruel and steamed buns, such a tasteless meal might not be appetizing, she searched for the sauce jar in the kitchen, but there was nothing to add to it.

I accidentally found a dark jar under the stove, and opened it by candlelight. There were still some pickled pickles left. Based on Zhiqing's experience as a soldier at the stove, these should be the stove's private possessions.She took a bowl, put back the remaining jars, smelled the bottles and jars on the stove, sprinkled some condiments on the pickles, and left the kitchen with the tray.

Xie Qichen was studying the terrain around Shengle in front of the topographic map, when he heard the movement behind him and turned around, Zhiqing came in with a tray.Looking at the steaming food, Xie Qichen felt that his stomach was empty.

Zhiqing asked Xie Qichen to sit down, put the tray on the table, "General, let's eat."

Xie Qichen stretched his brows, picked up the pickles with chopsticks, Zhiqing lightly pressed his arm, and brought a bowl of porridge to him, "The weather is getting colder, the general is hungry, it's better to drink the porridge first."

He put down his chopsticks, took the bowl and took a sip of the hot porridge.Zhiqing was not idle either, and turned to clean the bed.There is already a tacit understanding between them, the discipline in the army is strict, even if Zhiqing is alone in the tent, she still treats herself as a soldier.

After tidying up the beds on both sides, Zhiqing was about to turn around when she was caught off guard by a tall and broad embrace.She stood there in surprise and did not dare to turn around. He is a bit unusual today.

"Qing'er..." Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he called her that way.A gust of hot air sprayed on her neck, and there was a pleading feeling in the mellow voice, "Go back to the Valley of the Five Phoenixes, this battle... I can't put you in danger."

"The general doesn't need to care about me, Zhiqing can take care of herself." Zhiqing turned her back to him, took a deep breath before turning around slowly, looked into his eyes and said, "I believe in you."

Xie Qichen looked away and shook his head, and said softly: "I am a soldier, and it may be my destiny to fight the horse leather shroud on the battlefield, but you are not. Go back to Wufeng Valley and wait for me. After this battle, I will definitely pick you up."

"No, I won't go!" Zhiqing looked at him firmly, "If Sheng Le can't be taken down, Rouran's iron cavalry will go straight to Pingcheng and flatten the Kingdom of Wei. Same. In that case, I am willing to stay with the general."

Xie Qichen looked at Zhiqing, unable to speak for a long time.A gratified and bitter smile appeared on his lips, and he supported her arms, "It's my fault, I shouldn't have said such a thing. Xie Qichen will definitely capture Shengle, don't worry."

With his assurance, Zhiqing smiled slightly and said no more.As the night grew deeper, they each blew out their candles, closed their clothes and lay down to sleep.

In the morning of the second day, Xie Qichen did not summon all the troops to live in the camp, and took Li Jiang, Wu Kui, two school lieutenants, and Zhiqing out of the camp.

"Let's go for a run." He turned around and bent his lips towards Zhiqing who was behind him, then got on the horse.

They also got on their horses and were about to turn their horses while pulling the reins, when they saw two horsemen galloping towards them. The leader on the white horse was Mulan, and the pillar behind them.Xie Qichen glanced at Mulan and Zhuzi, flicked the rein, and the horse under him was about to go out, only to hear a shout: "Follow up."

A group of six of them ran around Shengle City, and finally stopped on a high slope.This is facing the city tower, within about half a mile, the Duosu Feng Department under the city gate and the defenses at the top of the city can be seen clearly.

"Do you have a way to defeat the enemy?" Xie Qichen who was standing in front of everyone suddenly asked, his tone was calm, and he no longer had the impatience and restlessness of last night.

Mulan brought Zhuzi to the Chinese army, but it was actually for food and grass, and Yuchizhuang's rations could only last three days.As the owner of the building, she really couldn't watch her soldiers starve, so she wanted to discuss countermeasures with Xie Qichen. Now when she was asked about the war, she looked at the Rouran barracks under the high slope, and said: "The Duosu wind department relies on the moat Confronting us, if you want to attack the city, you must first break through his first line of defense."

Xie Qichen nodded slightly, looked at the tower and pointed, "That's where Duolun supervised the battle. He occupies the commanding height above the tower, echoes with Duosu Feng's troops, and can clearly see the deployment of our army , This is the biggest difficulty for us to attack the city. Shengle City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if there is no perfect strategy, rashly sending troops will only lose troops and lose generals."

"General Xie, the food in Yuchi Building can only last for three more days." Mulan said anxiously, and the pillars behind him also looked anxious.

Zhiqing looked at the city tower in the distance, and then moved her eyes to the rising sun, the glare was a bit dazzling, making people dare not look at it.She lowered her head and closed her darkened eyes. Suddenly, her thoughts moved and she couldn't help raising her head, "The Art of War says: See your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. If you attack the city at night, isn't there such a thing?" worried."

Xie Qichen turned back and smiled at her, "It seems that your book of war is not in vain. But if you can lure Rouran's main force out of the city, we can take the opportunity to attack again, and maybe we can regain Shengle."

Although night attack is a way, it is also a constraint for the Wei army. It is bound to be very difficult to attack the city under the night.Xie Qichen came here to observe the terrain just to consider this problem.Now that the terrain around Shengle City was completely in his mind, he led the people back to the barracks, and immediately held a military meeting.

The generals gathered in front of the sand table, Xie Qichen pointed to a high ground directly facing Shengle City, and planned to send a group of troops to attract the attention of Duosu Fengbu, lead him out of the archery range of the city gate, and then divide the left and right wings to attack the city at the same time If a main force presses back to meet the troops of that building, if the main force of Rouran can be drawn out, it will be able to fight head-on, delaying time for the two wings of the siege.

Lieutenant General Xi Jin has always been conservative in fighting. He thinks that they may not be able to attract the main force of Rouran, so they can only defeat Duo Sufeng's wolf camp at most. They are disadvantaged instead.

However, the vast majority of generals support General Xie's strategy. Rouran's reinforcements are already approaching the border. Although Changsun Han's west army is blocking them, the battle situation is changing and no one can guarantee anything.If they don't take down Sheng Le and suffer enemies from both sides, they will only face annihilation. With the current battle situation, the only way to open the situation is to take a risk.

It's past noon, and the military meeting in the Chinese army's big tent is still not over. In front of the sand table, surrounded by the surrounding terrain, Xie Qichen is discussing with others about the distribution of troops and what may happen on the night of the attack.

A soldier came from outside the tent to report, "The owner of Yuchi Zhuangzhu wants to see you."

"pass!"

Zhiqing looked at the tent opening and saw Mulan striding in, knelt on one knee and said, "General Xie, please leave Duosu Fengbu to Yuchi Building, we vow to avenge the owner of Yuchi Building!"

"Presumptuous!" Xi Jin walked out of the crowd and yelled, "Where do you think this is? Fighting is no joke. It's not for you to hold personal grudges."

"Xi Jin, wait a minute, let Hua Hu finish speaking." Xie Qichen blocked Xi Jin and ordered her to get up.

Hua Hu stood up and approached the sand table, saying: "We plan to ambush here, the terrain here is very close to Rouran's camp."

Several military leaders around nodded after hearing this, and the general Wang Maozhen next to him said: "Your idea coincides with that of General Xie."

Xie Qichen glanced at the crowd, "Huahu, continue talking."

"I discussed with the other brothers, and I plan to throw the oil bag and then shoot it with an arrow coated with phosphorous powder, so that the oil bag will turn into a fireball in the air. Using this method to attack Duosufeng's wolf camp will definitely make people He is in a mess, and he can use this method to harass the city tower and cause panic. I think that Rouran's main force will definitely leave the city by then."

"Okay, very good!" Xie Qichen laughed a few times, he pointed to a place on the sand table and said, "My main force will join your troops here, and then we will work together to attack their main force. Xi Jin, the left and right flanks attack The soldiers and horses of the city are dispatched to you, and Sheng Le must be captured!"

"Yes, General!" Xi Jin took the order.

Xie Qichen assigned the task, and gave an order, "All generals obey the order, and send troops in the middle of the night, there must be no mistakes!"

In the middle of the night, when there was no one around, a group of people touched the high ground not far from Duosufeng's headquarters, and then one by one fireballs suddenly fell down. With the sound of explosions, Duosufeng's camp instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.The sound of shouting and killing and crying is continuous...

Duo Lun was used to patrolling the tower every night, but when he was about to go down the tower, something happened. He ran to the top of the tower, looked at the flames below the tower, and shouted to Yeshu beside him, "Order the archers to prepare and guard the tower!"

Sheng Le's suspension bridge was put down, and Duo Lun led the troops out. He had to kill the Wei army's troops who came to attack at night as soon as possible, otherwise, under such an attack, the soldiers in the city would be in chaos.He charged all the way out and immediately dispersed Yuchizhuang's team.Mulan retreated in the melee, preparing to lead the Rouran soldiers who had left the city to the main force of the Wei army.

Duo Lun passed by with a knife, and Wei Jun's corpse was already connected.Yu Chizhuang couldn't resist Duo Lun's bravery, and his sword would no longer be merciful.The team has been dispersed, and Mulan leads the people back all the way, but they will be caught up soon.At the same time, Xi Jin led his troops to attack Sheng Le in two ways...

The flames outside Shengle City erupted into the sky for a while, and a scuffle was going on.Zhiqing was standing in the big tent, and she could clearly hear the continuous shouts of killing. She felt like beating a drum in her heart, she only hoped to go there quickly tonight, and also hoped to win Shengle tonight...

The author has something to say: I could have gone earlier today, but my computer was unable to connect to the Internet, and after an hour of tossing, I was finally able to access the Internet.I feel better writing today, I will continue to work hard...
