The Pei County had already been surrounded for half a month, and there were more than 20 battles with heavy casualties. Of course, the casualties in Qin Army were five times greater than in the Dragon Army. At this time, there were still six to seven thousand people waiting outside the city for reinforcements.
There were already four thousand defending troops inside the city, but most of them were newly recruited, without strict training, their arrangement wasn't good. This was also the reason why Long Tianyu didn't want to face them head on, if not in battle, he had no confidence.
On rainy days, the allied army of the city had to step up their military training. Physical training was something that everyone needed to train themselves to be able to fight for a long time in the future.
Long Tianyu practiced like usual for four hours, he had completely digested and mastered the sets of sword techniques imparted to him by the Sword Saint. He only felt that his inner breathing was calm and his energy was vigorous, he was not tired at all, to the point of Qi Cultivating Stage.
After inspecting the troops trained by Cao Can and Fan Kuai, he went to Xiahou Ying's living quarters.
At this time, there were already two hundred members of the anti-Qin special forces. They trained day and night in climbing, fighting freely, throwing daggers, ambushing in the streets, sensitive senses, and other items. Their rapid improvement was quite effective.
After Long Tianyu learnt a few more simple hand gestures and tactics, he returned to the warm world inside the Lu Manor.
Xiao Xiang and Lv Zhi sat on chairs by the window. The former was currently taking up a piece of silk embroidery, and the latter was reading a bamboo scroll attentively, and after hearing the door, they immediately remembered that their beloved had still taken the time to come back and accompany them even after being extremely busy with work. Their beautiful eyes were bright, and their hearts were blooming with joy.
Long Tianyu hugged his two wives and sat on the edge of the bed. He smiled and said, "Ladies, you two are so free and leisurely, your husbands are going to die of exhaustion soon."
Xiao Xiang laughed coquettishly as he removed his embroidered shoes, then knelt on the bed and extended his snow-lotus-like delicate hand to massage his shoulders and neck.
Long Tianyu was enjoying the blessings of Qi Ren, and said: "What book was my child reading just now, he used his spirit!"
Lv Zhi said intoxicatedly: "When a child reads the morning breeze of the [Book of Songs], there is a saying, 'There is a bud on a mountain, and a tree; one does not see a gentleman; one's heart is intoxicated with worry. Previously, when he was reading, he didn't have much of an emotional reaction. Today, he had to carefully savor the contents before truly experiencing the profound meaning. He has never seen a gentleman before; his worry was intoxicating, and his mental state was beautiful, just like when he was reciting his husband's name. "
The "Book of Songs" is the source of Chinese verse. According to the nature of the melody, it can be divided into three categories: wind, elegance and eulogy. It is rich in content and reflects all aspects of the society of the same generation.
However, Long Tianyu had not studied much about this, but he had a unique love for Tang Shi and Song Ci. When he was free, he had read a few books, and when he was brought to the cultural field by her, he suddenly became interested: "Although the is wonderful, but its charm is not enough, ha! [The water of the Yellow River has never come from the heavens, rushing to the seas and never coming back. The sky has never been clear and the sky has been clear and the white hair has been white. Only this kind of poem was interesting! Eh? "Why did your husband continue massaging Xiang'er?"
When the two girls heard this, their bodies trembled. When had they ever heard such a moving poem? They were all stunned for a moment.
The next day, Long Tianyu called Xiao He, Cao Can and the others over to the secret room to discuss the matter. According to the latest military intelligence sent back, due to the continuous rain, the roads were muddy and the journey was temporarily extended.
Long Tianyu had already guessed that this would happen, the enemy's reinforcements would not arrive, the time to counterattack had finally come. He ordered, "Brother Xiahou Ying, train more and more special forces, I have a use for them, General Cao and General Chong, we will defeat the enemy in three days!"
Fan Kuai saw that everyone had a mission, but he did not, and anxiously asked: Tian Yu, then what does my Old Fan do?
Long Tianyu smiled and ordered: "General Fan is in charge of leading people to produce a thousand grass men in half a day.
Everyone had always admired his wisdom. Although they did not know how he was going to defeat the enemy, they did not complain as they wanted to follow his orders.
Night descended, the mist became heavy, Long Tianyu stood calmly on the city wall, as though he was dominating the world, and ordered the five hundred scarecrows to be hung below the city walls.
After the Qin Army's sentries discovered him, they immediately blew their horn, causing waves of arrows to fall down like rain, in an instant, they had obtained more than 10,000 arrows, the allied forces were cheering for them, the Qin Army knew that they were tricked and cursed loudly.
On the second night, Long Tianyu sent someone to hang another five hundred grass men. After the enemy guards blew their horn, they only released a few thousand arrows, all of them shooting at the grass men.
On the third night, Long Tianyu led a thousand men to prepare for battle, with Cao Can as the left vanguard and Guan Ying as the right vanguard. Fan Kuai led the troops behind him and charged forward.
Xiahou Ying and the two hundred elite warriors wore night attire and special equipment. Each of them carried their own fire spark and fire piston, and laid on the wall while waiting for orders to be given.
Long Tianyu raised his head, seeing that the time was near, he ordered for Xiahou Ying and the rest to be suspended outside the city. The enemy sentries guarding the city thought that the allied army was doing the same thing again, and became smarter.
Xiahou Ying and the two hundred elite warriors trained as usual as they climbed past the realms, eliminated a dozen guards, and easily snuck into the enemy's camp. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the flames suddenly shot to the sky behind Qin Army, and the horses attacked chaotically.
Long Tianyu's anxious mood finally relaxed. Waving the command flag, the three city gates opened up at the same time, and Cao Can, Guan Ying, and Fan Kuai rushed out, surrounding and attacking from three sides.
The Qin Soldier in the army camp had already noticed it, but after seeing the food starting to catch fire, the horses running around and the army coming towards them, they were in a panic, how could they still have the will to fight?
A few elite warriors cut down the wooden gate and fence, causing Cao Can and the other loyal soldiers to rush in, working together to attack. The thousands of Qin Army were flustered, seeing the enemy invading from all directions, they all abandoned their armor and ran.
As Xiahou Ying and the others fought, they would spread fire everywhere, causing the Qin Army to become even more chaotic.
In this battle, they had cut down two thousand enemies, captured three thousand people alive, and were not even able to put on their armor before they were captured. In the chaos, there were also several thousand people escaping, and Lu Xiong and Zhu Qianzhi led the hundreds of defeated soldiers to flee back to the Yong Qiu in a hurry.
led his men to transport the enemy's unlit rations to the city. Lv Ze led his men to collect the weapons, clean up the battlefield, and then, the allied army began to work in an orderly fashion according to the division of labour.
Fan Kuai, Cao Can and the others returned with their troops, causing the inside of the city to be even more lively. After a while, Guan Ying also returned with her army, led by four soldiers tied up a Qin Army general and placed him in front of Long Tianyu.
To recruit and suppress the enemy general Na Wei was originally the best plan, but after thinking about it carefully, he had once killed his son and made a public announcement to the world. It would be useless even if they let him go, not to mention the fact that the father and son, Fu Biao, had committed many evil deeds, killed someone who was against the will of the people, encouraging their morale, and so on and so on, he decided to hand Xiao He over the accusation to Xiao He, and then behead him off.
Long Tianyu then ordered Xiao He to search through the grains and give a portion of the captured food to the impoverished refugees in the county, in order to win the support of everyone. At the same time, he was also creating the reputation of a righteous teacher, because Long Tianyu was originally an outstanding merchant, and knew that reputation and integrity were extremely important in the competition.
At the same time, they pardoned the prisoners and let them choose their own ways to stay. Half of them were laborers who had been captured by the poor peasants to enlist the army. When they saw that the allied armies were easy to approach, and also sought blessings for the world, they stayed behind to join the dragon army.
That day, Zhou Bo returned from Fengyi City with his army, causing the Pei County's allied army to reach a total of 6000 troops. After arranging the troops, Cao Can, Guan Ying, Zhou Bo, Fan Kuai, Lv Chen and Lu Sheng each led a team of 1000 people to train day and night in preparation for their plans to advance into the west against Qin.
