[1 twenty chapters]

Chi Heng half supported and half pressed Rong Yue's shoulder, trying to make him fall asleep.The two were in a stalemate for a while, and with a bang, Rong Yue stiffly threw his head back and fell on the bed.

There was a deep nail cut on his forehead, and the skin was torn.

A dead night.

Rong Yue just lay there upright, breathing heavily, without saying a word, feeling gloomy like never before.Chi Heng didn't know what to do, so he said a few words of comfort, but it didn't help, so he had to pretend to be asleep.In the middle of the night, he suddenly saw Rong Yue sitting up, slowly bending his legs, burying his face in his knees, and then choked up, sobbing sadly.

Very clear at night.

Looking at Rong Yue's trembling back, Chi Heng wanted to hug him and comfort him.The corners of his eyes were wet, and Chi Heng grabbed the tiger's mouth so that he didn't make any sound.

The uncontrollable sobbing quickly disappeared, and Rong Yue fell asleep on his side.

Like nothing ever happened.

The next day, Chi Heng woke up with sore eyes.Rong Yue jumped up beside him, jumped out of the bed, tied his clothes, and turned his back to him: "Chi Heng, I will reorganize all the soldiers today, what do you think?"

The voice is a little hoarse, but calm and high-spirited.

Chi Heng held Rong Yue's arm and spoke a thousand words, but what he said was: "Okay. Don't forget, the original team consisted of 500 people, and reorganized, preferably three or four hundred. With fewer people, the formation is still strong." We have to let it go, don't let Luo Wuyu find out our details."

"Don't worry!" Rong Yue strode out of the camp without looking back.

After the storm, the white clouds are like clouds, and the sky is clear for thousands of miles. It is so blue and blue that people will be sucked in after watching it for a long time.Chi Heng tried his best not to think about yesterday's fierce battle, shuttling between the camps, arranging matters, even if there was nothing to do, trying to find something to do, such as changing the layout of the camp to make it more conducive to the counterattack after being attacked, such as appease the restless soldiers, in short Too busy to touch the ground.

It's not without remorse, it's useless to look back.

Cen Pojing also recovered very quickly, without mentioning the fierce battle yesterday, he quickly threw himself into the busy task of rearranging King Yan's army.As soon as he was busy, Chi Heng took some time off. The whip horse patrolled around and ran to the place where the mudslide collapsed. The original depression was filled with mud. The mud had stopped raging, and many trees fell in the mud. , a mess, those former lives were just swallowed up.

This blocked road, Chi Heng thought, it is impossible for Shicheng to be captured, but he also cannot attack from this road.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, fortunately, Yan Wangjun is not the only one.

Today, the culvert to the north, which was originally a backup for raids, now seems to be the main choice of last resort.When he was about to bypass the mudslide, he saw Wen Yunbai sitting on a rock in the mountain.

Holding a bamboo flute in hand, the sound of the flute whimpers.

The sound is like flowing water that is blocked and whispering, like a lingering dark cloud, like the pain and confusion of a sad person when he is silent, it is illusory, but it is like a needle piercing the heart, even if people who don't know the music reason listen to it , and couldn't help feeling sad.In the short song "Cloud Sacrifice", the sound of the flute stopped several times, and then sounded again several times.

At the end of the song, Wen Yunbai stared ahead.

Stone City, towering into the clouds.

Chi Heng didn't disturb Wen Yunbai, he raised his whip and galloped north without stopping.

Huo Chi was commanding the soldiers with his arms akimbo to practice formation. When he saw Chi Heng, he couldn't help being surprised: "Chi Heng, why do you look like this? After fighting, you lost your ambition?"

Chi Heng didn't know what it was like, it was nothing more than decadence and depression.

He is sad, but not yet depressed.Huo Chi and Gu Zhaochuan had already learned of yesterday's battle report.Yan Wang's army suffered a serious setback, and Shicheng's army was not much better.Chi Heng cut straight to the point, now that the tunnel has just been completed, if he can take advantage of this opportunity to catch Luo Jinghan by surprise, it will be much better than waiting for him to recover.

Gu Zhaochuan said: "No rush, there is good news waiting to be told to you right now."

good news?

"A few days ago we spread the rumor that 'the Luo family will perish in ten years'. Guess what? It was as expected! It turned out that the prophecy ten years ago was not simple. Luo Wuyu was born of a concubine, and Luo Jinghan was his wife. Born. But Luo Wuyu has been strong since he was a child, and Luo Jinghan is a little weaker. His father originally wanted to make Luo Wuyu his successor. Luo Jinghan's mother was unwilling, so she asked people to pretend to be a fortune teller, and finally made his father change idea."

The prophecy is: ten years later, Leizhou will be in trouble, if Luo Wuyu takes power, the Luo family will surely perish, and if Luo Jinghan takes power, at least the Luo family will be safe.

Unexpectedly, no more, no less, exactly ten years later, King Yan's army invaded.

"As soon as our rumors spread, the Luo family panicked. Luo Jinghan's mother blurted out the past, trying to make everyone not panic. But who knows that the mother of Luo Wuyu has been suppressed as a disaster for many years and has no future. The truth is that he was so angry that he vomited blood and died." Therefore, Luo Wuyu did not go out to fight because of the great chaos within the Luo clan.

This is really good news, I thought Luo Jinghan was sitting upright like a stone city, but unexpectedly the inside has turned into a mess.It is conceivable that Luo Wuyu got the truth first, and then his mother died, how can he be in a good mood?And the chain of events must have something to do with Luo Jinghan's mother and son.

Chi Heng was ecstatic: "Are Luo Wuyu and Luo Jinghan fighting for the position now?"

"It's hard to say, but the two have always been at odds. Luo Jinghan hates his brother very much, let alone a dispute between his son and son."

Chi Heng didn't understand. In his opinion, Luo Wuyu was an upright and good general, not to mention his own abilities, but he looked upright. Was Luo Jinghan really narrow-minded?Chi Heng asked again: "Since Luo Wuyu is stronger than Luo Jinghan, why didn't he fight before?"

"Why don't you fight? But Luo Jinghan has the backing of Luo's father. He took power in Leizhou when he was young. He personally promoted all the generals. His power spreads all over Leizhou. Although Luo Wuyu is a mighty general, he has only become a general of a city. That's all."

Chi Heng thought for a while, and immediately said: "I have asked Rong Yue to spread out the formation of King Yan's army to confuse the eyes and ears. Wouldn't it be a good idea to add some rumors about Luo Wuyu's secret knowledge of King Yan's army at this time?" Luo Wuyu said The offensive is strong, and the character should also be straight.If he is falsely accused and Dai Xiao is added, the internal competition in Shicheng is bound to become more intense.

Gu Zhaochuan smiled: "Just as I thought, here is a revision book for Luo Wuyu, and I am going to ask you to write it."

Repairing books is the evidence of "secret communication".

Chi Heng suddenly realized, and immediately copied it with a swipe of a pen. In fact, there was nothing important to explain in the letter, but if someone read it, it would be in a very familiar tone, and Gu Zhaochuan immediately instructed someone to do it.Chi Heng couldn't help admiring his quickness, and asked again: "Is there anything else besides faith?"

"Rumours are always spreading, each has its own shape, and there is no need for special instructions." Gu Zhaochuan laughed again, "Just wait and see the good show. Also, you once said that Luo Jinghan was sick, and it was not groundless. The chaos in Shicheng , A lot of things have come to light, he really suffers from anxiety and is preoccupied, since we besieged Shicheng, he hasn’t had a full night’s sleep.”

Chi Heng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

On the same day, Chi Heng walked a secret path, feeling confident in his heart, and returned to the camp. Mingli still laid out the camp with great fanfare, but secretly moved the soldiers to the north to join the Yishan army. The soldiers of the city were dispatched here.

Originally thought that Gu Zhaochuan's trick would take at least seven or eight days to take effect, but he received a shocking news only the next day: Luo Jinghan chased Luo Wuyu angrily, and several of Luo Wuyu's subordinates were imprisoned.

Chi Heng's first reaction was: counter-measures.

How could it be possible that Luo Jinghan fell for it so quickly?It must be a trick to paralyze Yan Wangjun.After many inquiries, it turned out to be true. Luo Wuyu was really expelled from Shicheng by Luo Jinghan's order. Luo Wuyu's soldiers were all in Weicheng, so he had no military power, no matter how heartless he was, he was expelled just like that.

After that, Luo Wuyu was never seen again.Between belief and doubt, Chi Heng finally chose to believe: this is a god-sent opportunity.

Because of intuition.

He intuitively felt that Luo Jinghan, whom he had never seen before, was such a person.

Chi Heng and Gu Zhaochuan immediately dispatched spies to sow discord, and Luo Wuyu's loyal soldiers were all filled with righteous indignation.Not long after, Shicheng, which was already panicked, became more like a pool of muddy water, and all kinds of moths came out.And it is said that Luo Jinghan's suspicion completely overwhelmed his benevolence, and he beheaded a soldier who provoked the trouble in public, which completely intensified the matter.

The next day after getting the news, Chi Heng immediately set out to march. He and Cen Pojing split into two groups: Cen Pojing bypassed the original muddy road, still pretending to be attacking the city, led the suspicious troops, and rushed over vigorously, crushing the heavy soldiers of Shicheng. Lead to the southwest corner.

Chi Heng Rongyue personally led the Northward Army and drove straight in from the secret passage.

Huo Chi led the Yishan army to help from the right road, although the road was rough along the way.But because the Shicheng soldiers were too busy dealing with Cen Pojing's provocation and Chi Heng's surprise attack, they had no time to stop them.

And the other lieutenant selected by Chi Heng led a group of elite soldiers to the place where Huo Chi was originally located, and together with the reinforcements dispatched from Muzi City and Zhi City, they mainly held back the onslaught of the reinforcements coming from the north. .

Like a landslide after a long silence.

When King Yan's army and Yishan army were all crushed under Shicheng, Shicheng was caught off guard.After the last battle, it has also been greatly weakened, and it lost Luo Wuyu, a strong general, and its resistance was weak for a while.Seeing this, Cen Pojing and Chi Heng attacked more violently, and saw flaming crossbows and stone throwing raining down on Shicheng.

But the stability of Shicheng is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Even though King Yan's army was so swift and fierce, it still stood firmly.Chi Heng could see the thick smoke billowing from the city, but the city walls and gates were extremely strong and unbreakable.

Cen Pojing and Chi Heng were ruthless, they didn't believe that Shicheng was really strong, they attacked for three days and three nights.Under the situation of besieging the city, all the soldiers of King Yan's army regarded death as home, because more than half of them had lost their troops, because they all had the heart of revenge, and because every general of King Yan's army rushed to the front.

Just on the fourth night.

Just as Rong Yue galloped over, he said to Chi Heng: "I don't believe that Shicheng is so strong, don't say three days and three nights, even 30 days, I will spend it!" The one that hurts the most, so there is no hesitation in attacking.

Chi Heng grabbed him.

But when Rong Yue threw him away and wanted to rush forward, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and a city gate was slowly lowered on the side of the city gate—it turned out to be an open door to meet the enemy?In astonishment, Chi Heng immediately ordered: "Attack!"

The city gate was only half opened, and it was about to close again.

It's like wrestling inside.

God-given opportunity, Chi Heng galloped out, followed by fierce soldiers, swarming towards the city gate.

Like an egg that was finally pried open a crack, Chi Heng and Rong Yue led strong soldiers to cut off the iron chain forcefully under the rain of swords.Soldiers of King Yan's army took the opportunity to enter the city, with swords shining and swords flying, blood and flesh flying everywhere, another bloody battle.

However, the outcome is already decided.

At dawn, Shicheng was forcibly breached, and thick smoke billowed. At that time, the remaining strength of King Yan's army was less than one-fifth.

Later, Chi Heng found out that the city gate was actually opened by Luo Wuyu's subordinates. Because he was indignant at the injustice Luo Wuyu suffered, he angrily led his troops to open the city to meet the enemy after being suppressed again and again.When King Yan's army was attacking Shicheng hard, the inside of Shicheng was already in full swing.This city gate will instantly disintegrate the impregnable stone city.
