Chapter 55 Fishing in Muddy Water 9

When the morning sun shines on the dark cyan stone bricks of the city wall, the sky in the distance is full of smoke and dust.

At the end of the field, the long horn sounded, accompanied by the thunderous roar of the horse's hoofs, and the dark clouds slowly gushed out from the sky, and the end could not be seen at a glance.

At the head of Shiyi City, the alarm bell was ringed crazily, and a large number of Zhongshan Jiashi rushed to the head of the city one after another, holding the halberd nervously, and looking at the black cavalry outside the city from the wall with a frightened face.

On the tall tower, Ji Xin's generals looked at the powerful Zhao cavalry in the distance, and everyone's face was low.

The Zhao army did not hide their strength at all. The whole 40,000 cavalry, more than half of the elites of the State of Zhao, appeared in front of the Zhongshan army without reservation.

The banners outside the city covered the air, the horns shook the sky, and a large number of cavalry retreated to both sides, and a neat cavalry slowly gushed out of the middle army.

Finally, the command, which symbolizes that the main general of the Chinese army, was erected. In an instant, 40,000 Zhao soldiers drew their swords in their hands and raised their arms and shouted wildly; "Hang live."

The sound resounded through the clouds like thunder, like a tide, alarming the birds in the forest, fluttering away from the trees in the air, and quickly passing through the head of Shiyi City.

The Zhongshan soldiers who clenched their weapons behind the wall looked like dust. Many of them went to the battlefield for the first time. Seeing such a terrible momentum, many of them couldn't help trembling.

On the tower, Nie Gai's face was tense, and his voice trembled and said, "Master Zhao is here."

In fact, what Nie Gai said was completely nonsense. Everyone already knew it, but he still couldn't help trembling when listening to the words "Master Zhao".

Ji Xinxin has been sinking. Although he is a famous general of Zhongshan, he has never met such a huge cavalry. You should know that in the State of Zhao, the cavalry is a new favorite, and the selection is extremely strict, so it is extremely valuable. Almost all the cavalry are transferred to Shiyi City at such a large scale, and Zhao Yong really looks up to himself.

It seems that Shiyi is already a must-have for Zhao Yongzhi, and it is also the only way to attack Lingshou and eliminate Zhongshan.

After a long silence, Ji Xin moved his already stiff body and turned around and said slowly, "Let's go down first. Zhao's army will not attack today. They don't carry any siege equipment. Such a posture is nothing more than making my army cold and chaotic. We must not be fooled by them. "

Before the words fell, suddenly a cavalry gushed out of the Zhao army and quickly broke away from the middle army and rushed straight to Shiyi.

"Zhao Jun is going to attack the city." A general said in panic. Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows.

Ji Xin stared at him fiercely, and the general suddenly woke up and quickly closed his mouth.

Ji Xin turned around and ordered loudly with a calm face, "Ready to shoot arrows."

The Zhongshan soldiers at the head of the city opened their bows and arrows one after another, looking nervously at the approaching Zhao cavalry.

Two arrows.

One and a half arrow.

One arrow.

The first cavalryman has rushed into the maximum range of the bow and arrow.

A trace of fierceness flashed in Ji Xin's eyes, thinking that Zhao Yong, you despised me so much, so don't blame me for being rude.

"Arrow!"

With the roar, a rain of arrows shot out, and the first cavalryman was about to be shot into a sieve, but the muta suddenly appeared.

Almost at the same time when the arrow feathers were shot, the cavalryman suddenly pulled the reins, and the horse turned his direction with a hiss and galloped to the left. Then the dense rain of arrows nailed to the ground, which was really unacceptable. The horse's knight quickly pulled out his long bow, drew arrows, arrows, and shot. The movement was extremely smooth, and there was almost no stagnation.

Only a scream was heard on the wall. A Zhongshan soldier who poked his head out and watched was hit by an arrow in the door. He screamed and fell down from the high wall and immediately fell into mud.

You should know that shooting up in the city is much more difficult than shooting from top to bottom, but this Zhao cavalryman did it easily. His excellent archery and equestrian skills are really jaw-catching. But depending on his costume, he is just an ordinary pawn in Zhao's army.

The Zhongshan Army has not yet recovered from the shock, and more than 100 cavalrymen who rushed to it have also roared and killed, with dozens of steps apart, becoming a scattered formation. There was a whining in his mouth, and Zhang Gong launched a shot against the Zhongshan army on the tower.

The cavalry moves extremely fast. After the soldiers in the city aim and shoot out, they are often short of a horse position. Even if they are shot, the knights on the horse dodge by their superb riding skills. However, their return shot always brought casualties to the Zhongshan Army. The arrows were almost in vain, and people kept screaming and falling down the wall.

There was a thunderous roar and cheer in the Zhao army camp behind him, and there was a mockery of the Zhongshan army. The Zhongshan generals at the top of the city were red-faced and ashamed. The timid Zhongshan soldiers had stopped shooting arrows, but they did not dare to stretch out behind the wall.

Zhao Jun undoubtedly attacked Zhao Jun's morale through this kind of nud provocation. There is no doubt that this team of cavalry are the elites in the Zhao army carefully selected by the master, relying on outstanding riding and archery to show off their power.

Ji Xin's face turned blue and white, and his face was extremely ugly. He suppressed the fury in his heart and gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Our military order is not allowed to fight back without authorization. Unless Zhao's army attacks the city, he will avoid standby in place."

"No."

Ji Xin's military order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers who had scared the courage just asked for it. They let Zhao Jun provoke under the city, but no one dared to stand up.

The cavalry of the State of Zhao shouted for a long time under the city. Seeing that no Zhongshan army dared to fight, they returned to the camp after a burst of laughter.

Zhao Jun's laughter was undoubtedly very harsh to Ji Xin. He gritted his teeth with a blue face on the head of the city, but he had no choice.

"General, please allow me to lead my troops out of the city to fight." Zhao Xin took the opportunity to take a step forward and said loudly with a sad and indignant face.

Ji Xin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes and said, "No, Zhao Yong's intention is obviously to provoke us. If we are fooled, please don't hit him."

Zhao Xin gritted his teeth, patted his chest with a sad face and said sadly, "Zhao Jun insulted me too much. Can we only swallow our anger?"

Ji Xin sighed, looked into the distance, and said with a complicated look: "Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we can only tolerate it. Only by sticking to the city and waiting for foreign aid can we have a glimmer of vitality in Zhongshan.

.......

While Ji Xin was looking far away, in the army of the State of Zhao, Zhao Yong was also squinting at the head of Shiyi City in the distance, thinking about what had been on his mind for a long time before saying, "Zhao Xin really said so?"

Zhang Xin, who was beside him, quickly looked at Li Wei and quickly bowed his head and said respectfully, "Lord, Captain Zhao did this to tell me to wait before he left. He asked us to go back to the camp to report to you, ask your army to suppress the situation, and let us wait patiently until seven days. He will definitely find a way to seize Shiyi for our Zhao army.

"Do you think Zhao Xin's words are credible?"

This time, Li Wei summoned up his courage and said, "Master, I think it's difficult to do this. If the captain does it naturally, it's a wonderful thing. If he doesn't do it, it's all right."

Zhao Yong smiled and squinted and said, "If you help him, fill up the words for him first, so that there is room for turning around whether it is successful or not."

Seeing that this little intention was recognized by the master, Li Wei couldn't help but look embarrassed. He smiled awkwardly and dared not talk nonsense again.

Zhao Yong didn't mean to blame him, but looked at Shi Yi in the distance and said with a smile on his face: "This boy is very bold, just like when I was very young, how his hands worked, but he can only talk big and boast. This time, the command actually came to me. I don't care about you. Today is the seventh day. Let me see what you can do.
