[Chapter 104 Borrowing an Arrow]

“Be careful, Your Highness!”

Xu Lie immediately raised his shield to block Zhao Xu’s head.

He himself was bowing his head, leaving his armor-covered back to the falling arrows.

After a while of tinkling, the air was quiet again.

Xu Lie took the shield away and dropped bows and arrows all over the place.

Chang Wei was the same as Xu Lie. At this moment, he stood up straight and spit while looking at the densely packed arrows on the ground.

The soldiers were still nervous when they saw the arrows coming.

But after a shower of arrows, they were unharmed except for a feeling of being knocked on the back.

“Haha…”

Some soldiers looked at each other and laughed as if they had been released.

On the battlefield, the effect of their armor in actual combat made them feel more at ease, and their fear of the Beidi people was subtly dispelled.

At this time, Chang Wei ordered the general to report the casualties.

Except for a few soldiers who twisted their feet in a panic, there were no casualties.

After all, Beidi people are far away, and the lethality of bows and arrows is not very great.

“Your Highness, do you want to fight back?” Chang Wei said.

He wanted to let Beidi people taste the pulley crossbow.

Zhao Xu shook his head, “Why waste arrows, let Beidi people send more arrows over.”

Chang Wei understood.

At this time, he whispered a few words to a general.

The general left, not long after, a soldier came to Zhao Xu’s side.

After saluting, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly shouted, “Beidi’s cheap dog, my lord knows that your dog king is in the army, and wants us to surrender, hug your mother to sleep, and go live your big spring and autumn dream… …” The

soldier’s voice was so loud that Zhao Xu’s eardrums were trembling.

This guy is quite a tweeter.

The sound of shouting and cursing floated from the city wall and reached Beidi’s army in an instant.

The veins on Mu Tuo’s neck bulged, and he shouted, “Shoot the arrow!” With

a whoosh, countless arrows soared into the sky again, flying towards the top of the city.

At this time, the sound on the wall disappeared.

However, before Mu Tuo had time to be proud, the voice sounded again.

“Beidi Gou, is that all you can do? To tickle your grandfather, just go home and feed yourself…”

“Da Song’s cheap dog!” Mu Tuo’s eyes turned red.

In the past, when I met Dasong soldiers, which one of those soldiers was not like a mouse meeting a cat.

And these great soldiers in Yancheng dare to humiliate them like this.

He wished he could rush into the city immediately and chop them into pieces.

“Let the arrows, let the arrows!” Mu Tuo yelled, and Kutu’s face sank like water.

These Yancheng soldiers are simply hateful.

But after another two waves of arrow rain, the curses of Yancheng soldiers sounded again.

When Mu Tuorang continued to shoot arrows, he was stopped by Kutu.

“It’s a trick. They’re deliberately provoking us to shoot arrows to waste the arrows.” The more Kutu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Mu Tuo calmed down, thinking about it, it seemed the same.

The soldier shouted more and more happily.

“Your Majesty, let’s attack the city and show King Yan some color.” Mu Tuo couldn’t help feeling angry.

It was unbearable to be humiliated by an enemy he had always despised.

“How is the repair of the ladder?” Kutu asked.

When they were stationed here, the cavalry behind had already dismounted to cut down trees to make a ladder to attack the city.

When Mu Tuo heard this, he sent cavalry to inquire, and the news came quickly.

“Your Majesty, you have made twenty ladders.” Mu Tuo reported to Kutu after hearing the report from the cavalry.

Kutu nodded.

Tuoba Lie’s role as an internal agent is extremely secretive, even Mu Tuo’s favorite generals, he did not disclose it.

According to the plan, he will use the siege to contain the troops in the city.

But the plan was to be implemented several days after the attack, until the soldiers in the city were exhausted.

At that time, the vigilance in the city was relaxed, and Tuoba Lie could take the opportunity to act.

“Let them speed up building ladders, tomorrow we will launch an attack on the four walls at the same time.” Kutu said.

After a pause, he said: “Also prepare five thousand elites to rest and wait for orders at any time.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Mu Tuo responded, passed on Kutu’s order, and selected more than five thousand elites to stand by.

city wall.

The shouting soldier squeezed his throat and coughed several times.

Seeing that yelling and cursing had no effect, Zhao Xu and Chang Wei made him stop.

“Go, collect all the arrows, and modify them to use them as crossbow arrows.” Chang Wei grinned, turned to Zhao Xu and said, “Hey, there must be fifty or sixty thousand arrows here, it’s a waste of money.”

Zhao Xu chuckled twice, but his eyes still stayed on Beidi people.

Now the Beidi people have calmed down and even pitched tents, which seems to be besieging the city to the end.

“Looking at it like this, they probably won’t attack the city anytime soon.” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei nodded, looking from above, he even saw some Beidi cavalry started to eat.

“Your Highness, let the soldiers take turns to rest and eat, maybe there will be a fierce battle next,” Chang Wei said.

Beidi people chose to camp here, that is to tell them that they will not leave until they capture Yancheng.

Zhao Xu nodded, and he said, “Is everything ready?”

“Okay, I will wait for His Highness’s orders at any time.” Chang Wei’s face became serious.

This matter is no small matter, if there is a mistake, Yancheng will suffer heavy losses.

Zhao Xu looked at Beidi people again, it was just an appetizer.

I’m afraid I’m going to really see blood next time.

He did not return to the palace.

After the cook in the barracks delivered the food to the city wall, he ate on the city wall with the soldiers.

When the soldiers saw that King Yan was with them during the war, and now eating together, they felt a sense of kinship.

After dinner, Zhao Xu patrolled the city wall until midnight, Fang returned to the bedroom to rest under Chang Wei’s persuasion.

At this time, the night was dense, and the stars in the sky were so clear that they could be picked with one hand.

Neither Luan’er nor Feng’er slept.

Seeing Zhao Xu came back, he hurriedly fetched water to wash and change clothes for him.

When the two were busy, Zhao Xu sighed softly when he saw that both of them were wearing white silk around their waists.

Luan’er heard this, turned around and saw King Yan staring at Bai Ling, and said softly, “Your Highness, why should you sigh, slaves are His Highness’s people when they are born, and they are His Highness’s ghosts when they die, so what’s the point of living in vain?”

Feng Er nodded with a smile nod.

Zhao Xu didn’t say anything, he was a little tired, and fell asleep unconsciously while lying on the bed.

However, his heart suddenly felt unprecedented peace.

Nothing to be afraid of.

He can’t disappoint those who look up to him.

…

Fan Yang.

Yuan Mansion.

Different from the scene of Xiao Sha in Yan County, here is still a happy atmosphere of singing and dancing.

At this time, a banquet was going on in the mansion.

Yuan Li sat at the top, eating meat and drinking heavily.

This has always been what he said, and he did the same, never caring about gossip.

“This King Yan is really stupid. Beidi’s army is approaching the city, and he actually transferred most of his troops to other counties. He is looking for a dead end.”

A member of the Yuan family put down his wine glass and sneered.

“Who said it wasn’t? At first I thought that King Yan was interesting, but after all he was an idiot.”

“Hey, it’s better to die, so as not to be an eyesore.”

“…”

The people at the banquet said one after another.

These words fell into Yuan Li’s ears like fairy music.

Ever since King Yan recovered from his illness, he had a thorn in his heart.

Now the thorn is finally about to be pulled out.

“The king of Yan is not dead, I can’t sleep well.” Yuan Li’s face flushed because of the wine, “to be safe, this time Beidi’s autumn hunting, you can’t fight with the people of Beidi, just go to the counties to show off. , Beidi troops in other counties have looted enough things, and they will go to Yan County to help.”

“Master Zhou Mu is wise.” All the generals praised at the banquet.

They are most afraid of fighting Beidi cavalry.

Now what Yuan Li said was in line with their wishes.

“My lord, just like this, the people of Yanzhou will be slaughtered, and the strength of Yanzhou will be greatly damaged.” A general said suddenly.

Yuan Li looked at the general, who was Du Wei Zhongli, a member of the Xuanjia Army.

With a cold snort, he said: “Women’s benevolence does not exclude the king of Yan. Will there be a place for my Yuan family in Yanzhou in the future?” The

general heard the words and stopped talking.
