Chapter 55: Fishing in Troubled Waters (9)

When the morning sun shines on the dark green stone bricks in the city wall, smoke and dust are rolled up in the distance.

At the end of the field, a long horn sounded "whimper" and accompanied by the roar of horse hooves like thunder, dark clouds slowly surged out from the horizon, and there was no end at a glance.

On the top of Shiyi City, the warning bell was ringing wildly. A large number of Zhongshan soldiers rushed to the top of the city, holding long halberds nervously, and stomping the wall with fear on their faces, looking at the dark cavalry outside the city that were overwhelmed by the black cavalry outside the city.

On the tall city tower, Ji Xin and his generals looked at the huge Zhao cavalry in the distance, and everyone looked down.

The Zhao army did not hide their strength at all. The total 40,000 cavalry, most of the elite troops of Zhao, were presented to the Zhongshan Army without reservation.

The flags outside the city covered the sky and the horns shook the sky. A large number of cavalry retreated to the sides, and a neat cavalry team slowly poured out from the central army.

Finally, the commander, which symbolized the commander of the central army, was raised up. In an instant, all 40,000 Zhao troops drew their swords in their hands, raising their arms and shouting wildly; "Long live."

The sound resounded like thunder and fell one after another like a tide, startling the birds in the forest, flapping Li trees in the air and screaming, quickly passing by the top of Shiyi City.

The Zhongshan soldiers holding weapons tightly behind the wall were ashamed. Many of them were on the battlefield for the first time. Seeing such a terrifying aura, many of them couldn't help but tremble with their feet.

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

In fact, what Nie Gai said was completely nonsense, and everyone knew it, but when he listened to the three words "Zhao Master Father", he still couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Ji Xinxin kept sinking. Although he was a famous general in Zhongshan, he had never encountered such a huge cavalry. You should know that in Zhao, cavalry is a new favorite, and the selection is extremely strict, so it is extremely expensive. He transferred almost all the cavalry to Shiyi City at one time with such a big deal, and Zhao Yong really respects him.

In this way, Shiyi is already a must-have item Zhao Yongzhi must-have, and it is also a must-have way to attack Lingshou and destroy Zhongshan Kingdom.

After being silent for a long time, Ji Xin moved his already stiff body and turned around and said slowly, "Let's go down first. The Zhao army will not attack today. They did not carry any siege equipment. Their posture was nothing more than to disappoint our army and be distracted. We must not be fooled by them."

Before he could finish his words, a cavalry suddenly surged out of the Zhao army and quickly broke away from the central army and rushed towards Shiyi.

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

Ji Xin glared at him fiercely, and the general suddenly realized and quickly shut up.

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

The soldiers of Zhongshan on the top of the city all set off their bows and arrows, looking at the Zhao cavalry that were getting closer and closer with nervous expressions.

Two arrows.

One stone and half a stone.

One arrow.

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

A sharp look flashed in Ji Xin's eyes, thinking to himself that Zhao Yong, you actually despise me so much, so don't blame me for being rude.

"Shoot the arrow!"

With a roar, a rain of arrows shot out, and the first cavalry was about to be shot into a sieve, but a sudden change occurred.

Almost at the same time as the arrow feathers shot out, the cavalry pulled the reins violently, and the war horse neighed and turned around, speeding to the left. Then the dense rain of arrows was nailed to the ground, which was really impossible to fire. The knight on the horse quickly drew out his long bow, drew, and shot it out, with his movements extremely smoothly, with almost no stagnation.

A scream sounded from the city wall. A Zhongshan soldier who was poking his head out to watch was caught in an arrow in the face. He screamed and fell from the high city wall, and suddenly fell into a mud.

You should know that shooting up the city is much more difficult than shooting down from top to bottom, but this Zhao army cavalry easily did it. His superb archery skills and proficient equestrian skills are really shocking. But looking at his outfit, he was just an ordinary cavalry in the Zhao army.

Before the Zhongshan Army could recover from the shock, the more than a hundred cavalry that rushed over were already roaring and roaring, each of which was dozens of steps apart, forming a scattered formation. There was a whimpering sound, and Zhang Gong launched a fire with the Zhongshan Army on the city tower.

The cavalry moved extremely fast. After the soldiers on the city aimed and shot, they often lost one horse position. Even if they hit, the knights on the horse would dodge their bodies with their superb riding skills. However, their reshoots always brought casualties to the Zhongshan Army, almost without any slight arrows, and people kept screaming and falling down the city wall.

A thunderous roar and cheer sounded from the Zhao army camp behind him, mixed with ridicule and ridicule of the Zhongshan army. The Zhongshan generals on the city were blushing and ashamed. The timid Zhongshan soldiers had stopped shooting arrows, but they just hid behind the stomping wall and did not dare to stretch out their heads.

The Zhao army undoubtedly used this naked provocation to attack the morale of the Zhao army. There is no doubt that this team of cavalry was the elite of the Zhao army carefully selected by the master father, and they showed off their power with outstanding riding skills and archery skills.

Ji Xin's face turned blue and white, his face was extremely ugly. He suppressed the fury in his heart and said slowly with gritted teeth. "Transfer our military orders and do not fight back without authorization. Unless the Zhao army attacks the city, they will hide on the spot."

"promise."

Ji Xin's military order was quickly conveyed, and the soldiers who were already scared out of their courage were just in their desire to ask for it. They allowed the Zhao army to provoke under the city, but no one dared to stand up to fight.

The cavalry of Zhao State shouted at the city for a long time. Seeing that no one in the Zhongshan army dared to fight, they laughed and then transferred their horses back to the camp.

Zhao Jun's ridicule was undoubtedly very harsh to Ji Xin. He gritted his teeth with a blue face on the top of the city, but he was helpless.

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

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

Zhao Xin gritted his teeth and bent his chest with a sad expression. "Zhao army insulted me in Zhongshan too much, can we just swallow our anger?"

Ji Xin sighed, looked into the distance, and said with a complicated expression; "Now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, I can only endure it. Only by sticking to the city and waiting for foreign aid can we have a glimmer of life in Zhongshan."

....

Just as Ji Xinyuan looked at the Zhao army, Zhao Yong was also squinting his eyes and looking at the Shiyi city in the distance. He thought about his thoughts for a long time before saying, "Why is that boy Zhao Xin really saying this?"

Zhang Xin, who was standing aside, looked at Li Wei quickly, and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully: "Return to the master's father, the Master Zhao did ask me to wait before leaving. He asked us to return to the camp to repay you, Master's father, and ask your army to be on the verge of the border. Let us wait patiently for seven days. He will find a way to seize Shiyi for our Zhao army."

"Then do you think Zhao Xin's words are credible?"

This time, Li Wei mustered up the courage and said, "Master, I think this is impossible to do. If the lieutenant does it, it will naturally be a great achievement. If he fails, it is understandable."

Zhao Yong laughed and narrowed his eyes, "You are very helpful to him, let's talk to him first, so that there is room for reversal regardless of whether it is done or not."

Seeing that Li Wei's little intention was discovered by his father, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and smiled embarrassedly and dared not speak anymore.
