Dust was flying for several miles outside the city, and the Zhao army was setting up camp in full swing. One mile from the city gate, thousands of Zhao elite cavalry, led by Shi Hu, were getting on horseback and guarding to prevent the Zhongshan army from suddenly rushing out and attacking.

In fact, the Lord's father's caution was completely unnecessary. The small soldiers in Shiyi City were few, with only more than 10,000 soldiers, and most of them were temporarily recruited new soldiers. The city was still useful. If you were taken out of the city to fight with the Zhao cavalry, this would undoubtedly be a way to die.

You should know that the advantages of cavalry lie in its maneuver power and attack power. A lack of heavy equipment in the field will only be a unilateral massacre. The weak armor of light infantry cannot stop the sharp arrows of the cavalry, and the high-speed maneuverability of the cavalry can completely eliminate the weak counterattack of the infantry.

The only infantry who can truly fight against the elite cavalry of Zhao State is the tiger and wolf army that has a longer ranged lethal crossbow soldiers, the famous "Wuzhu" heavy infantry legion of the Wei State, and the Qi State's high-skilled martial arts soldiers.

In less than half a day, earth-shaking changes occurred in Shiyi City, but the Zhao army outside the city was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, Zhao Yong rode around Shiyi in a crowd of generals and explored the surrounding terrain.

This is Zhao Yong's habit. Whenever he fights, he must personally inspect the terrain and do it in his heart, so that he can respond to changes in the same way. Shiyi's attack and battle is no exception.

Zhao Yong stood tall on his horse and stood on the high ground outside the city. The sunlight coming towards him was a little dazzling. He squinted his eyes and looked at Shiyi not far away. After a long time, he said slowly, "When will Zhang'er's infantry arrive?"

Han Sheng bowed slightly and replied, "I have already told the eldest son that he would arrive at Shiyi as soon as possible. It was only because the Hejian infantry had not arrived yet and the transport of siege equipment was very slow, so it was delayed. The eldest son wrote that he would bring a group of 50,000 people first in the seven days."

Han Sheng was the doctor who commanded the Yulin Guards by his father, and he was naturally responsible for the communication between letters and edicts.

"Seven days." Zhao Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head and said decisively; "Send someone to tell Zhang'er that in three days, I will only give him three days to bring him as much as he can, as long as he can."

"No." Han Sheng bowed and accepted the order, "I will go and order the censor to draft an edict."

After saying that, he turned around and left with a horse and whip, and acted vigorously, as if he had the style of the Lord's father. In fact, these generals who were promoted by the Lord's father were all influenced by the Lord's father and also acted according to the style of the Lord's father.

Zhao Xi, behind him, urged him to step forward, and stood up to his master's father and said, "Master, Zhongshan is now in your control, why are you still so anxious? In three days, even if the young master can bring people to him, his equipment will definitely be insufficient."

Zhao Xi has always had a good relationship with Zhao Zhang and is a clan of the royal family, so he spoke for Zhao Zhang.

Zhao Yong's expression was not as good as the anger, but he said lightly, "Weapons are the most important. We need to take down Zhongshan as soon as possible to avoid other countries taking advantage of the situation. Although Qi has acquiesced to us to annex Zhongshan, I think the King of Qi will not mind secretly adding more trouble to us. And the old man of King Wei, he is not a lord who calms down. Queen Mother Qin doesn't mind letting me fall into Zhongshan and is unable to interfere in their Qin affairs."

"Once the war drags on for a long time, the Central Plains will likely cause unpredictable changes. Therefore, we must fight quickly and swallow Zhongshan as soon as possible, create a fait accompli, and leave the nations speechless."

"The Lord's father is very proud, and he will sigh that he is not as good as he does." Zhao Xi bowed and said with conscience.

"It's just a hasty infantry, and the siege equipment is bulky, so it's inconvenient to carry it. If our army is frustrated under Shiyi, it may affect morale."

Zhao Yong smiled and looked at Shiyi not far away, saying, "Although Zhao Xin is a little young and crazy, he has always been very steady in his work. Since he said there is a way to make Shiyi self-defeating, even if he is too truthful, he will inevitably cause chaos in the city. Now that our Zhao army is approaching, it has made Shiyi's 100,000 soldiers and civilians frightened. If he puts a little pressure, Zhao Xin will definitely be much smoother in the city."

Zhao Xi laughed and said, "Master, you value this boy very much. He boasted about the seventh day of the city. Today is the seventh day. You don't blame him, but instead defend him everywhere. If we dare to make a military order indiscriminately, even if the heads can be kept, I will suffer a lot of flesh and blood. Alas, Master, your bias is really jealous and envious!"

"Nothing nonsense." Zhao Yong cursed with a smile; "I have never been biased."

"It's just that this kid's qualification is a piece of beautiful jade, but it has not been crafted. If he is carefully trained, he will definitely be a wise general in my country of Zhao in the future and will definitely become He'er's supporter."

After saying that, he laughed again and said, "As for being jealous of you, there is no need to do it. Since he has issued a military order, I will make him suffer if he cannot complete it. I will inevitably be able to serve dozens of military whips. This kid is very smart, but he is too young after all, and his arrogance is too heavy, so he needs to be polished and tempered."

When the generals behind him heard that Zhao Xin was suffering, they burst into laughter. They all looked gloating, but they had no malice.

Just as Han Sheng said before and Zhao Xin, the atmosphere in the army is different from other places, exuding a strong and heroic spirit of Hu. It is based on real skills and hard skills. Accepting one person is just as simple as rejecting one person. Zhao Xin has gained the acceptance of most people through the past few months. Except for Shi Hu still being a little cold to him, other generals no longer make things difficult for this junior and have taken him as his own people and included him in the circle.

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Yong raised his whip and turned around and said, "Okay, go back."

After returning to the camp, Zhao Yong inspected Xinzha's camp and was quite satisfied. Just when he was about to return to the tent, he suddenly heard the sound of a warning horn in the Zhao army. The Zhao army in the camp quickly put down his work and returned to his post. Zhao Yong's face moved, but he was still calm, and immediately urged the horse and his people to rush back to the central army at lightning speed.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yong couldn't wait to ask the messenger.

"When I returned to the master's father, there was a huge noise at the city gate. General Shi was afraid that the Zhongshan army in the city would open the door and attack, so he warned him."

In the siege, the city gates were the most easily broken line of defense, so after the Zhao army besieged the city, the Zhongshan army in the city blocked the city gate with huge stones to prevent the Zhao army from breaking into the city from here. Everything has its pros and cons. Since the city gate is blocked, it is very difficult to go out of the city to fight naturally. These woods and stones need to be moved away, so the movement is naturally quite large.

"I understand." Zhao Yong nodded, his expression could not show his joy or anger, but he just looked at the city gate intently, thinking about something.

"Zhao Xi, Niu Jian, Ji Hu Chu."

"At". The three generals behind him stepped forward and shouted to accept the order.

"You three will return to your own army and make decisions when encountering problems."

"No." The three generals quickly turned their horse's head and quickly returned to the camp. Zhao Yongze personally led the guards and ordered Han Sheng to stay in the central army, while he himself rushed to the distance to meet with Shihu's troops.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Yongle immediately stepped forward and stopped side by side with Shi Hu, turning his head and asking.

"The Lord Father, don't worry." Shi Hu laughed, "As long as the children in Zhongshan dare to rush out of the city, I will surely wipe them out. If one person is let go, I, Shi Hu, come to see you."

Zhao Yong glared at him and said in a deep voice, "Be careful of fraud."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiyi's bulky city gate slowly opened with a "squeaking" sound. The first thing he saw was that the Zhao army, who was facing the city gate, quickly prepared for the battle and set up a charge formation to welcome the Zhongshan army that was leaving the city to fight.

However, after a long time, no army rushed out, but half-covered the city gate, not knowing what the defenders in the city meant. Zhao Yong's face became tight, but hesitated in his heart, thinking about whether to take the opportunity to lead the army into the city, but he was worried that the defenders in the city would be cheated.

While thinking, a cavalry drove out of the city and slowly rushed towards the Zhao army. The soldiers of Zhao, who were on guard, quickly raised their bows and aimed at them. After the orders of the master's father, they shot arrows, and wanted thousands of arrows to penetrate the hearts of the people.

When Zhao Yong saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, raised his hand and said loudly, "Relieve the alert and do not attack."
