Qin Dynasty: Sword Asks the Bright Moon

"Is he actually a robber?" Gongsun Li listened to her grandfather's words and found it difficult to connect the boy she saw at noon that day with the murderous and swindling robber in her grandfather's words.

"Yes, and he is also the biggest robber in the world." Gongsun Yu said angrily. What does a robber mean in front of Yang Ming? All robbers in the world are insignificant in front of Yang Ming, the 'big robber' who attacks cities and destroys countries. You have to bow your head obediently.

"How could someone like him be a robber? He obviously looks good." Gongsun Li said puzzledly, as if she was asking her grandfather as well as herself.

"Conceit about one's ability is just due to greed." Gongsun Yu said calmly.

"If he was a robber, how could he come to visit my grandfather? Moreover, at that time, I saw that my grandfather seemed to be very polite to him." Gongsun Li said after realizing it.

robber? No matter how he thought about it, Gongsun Li still found it difficult to connect the young man he had seen with the robber his grandfather had spoken of.

Hearing Gongsun Li's question, Gongsun Yu's face became even stiffer. He had made a start and really didn't know how to end it. After all, what he said just now seemed to be a bit motivated. If such an image fell into the eyes of his granddaughter, Gongsun Yu still felt that Somewhat embarrassing.

He couldn't say that his mentality was about to collapse due to the torture of the great devil of this city, right?

"It's hard to explain in one sentence. He is also the son of my old friend. He came to Diqiu City for some special reasons." Gongsun Yu made up a reason that he thought was reliable.

"A special reason?" Gongsun Li thought, and wanted to ask her grandfather what the special reason was.

But Gongsun Yu no longer gave Gongsun Li a chance, and said directly: "Li'er, don't mention this matter anymore. It has already passed. Just pretend that you have never met that person."

Gongsun Li saw that her grandfather didn't want to say anything more and his face was full of exhaustion, so she stopped asking any more questions, but she felt a little sad in her heart. After all, it was a life. The robber was too far away after all, but that person had appeared alive. in front of her.

While the grandfather of the Gongsun family went through all kinds of difficulties to deceive his granddaughter, Yang Ming's deception process was even more complicated, but the results were quite good.

When Wei Yong received the main force of the Qin army and marched directly towards Baimajin from Diqiu City, the first thing he did not recall the five thousand soldiers sent to capture Baimajin was to directly target Diqiu City.

Since the main force of the Qin army is no longer there, I can completely attack Diqiu City directly. The Qin army has newly occupied Diqiu, and the people in the city will definitely be unstable. If I use a large army to suppress the situation, the possibility of victory is very high. On the road leading to Diqiu, looking at the advancing army, Wei Yong couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

What happened to Wei Yong at this time turned into words appearing on Yang Ming's writing desk.

"Wei Yong, we are really an old friend." Yang Ming looked at the words on the bamboo slips and couldn't help but smile.

If Wei Yong was hiding in a big city like Chaoge, Yang Ming would really have nothing to do with him, but now that he is out, everything will be much easier.

"Send this military order to General Wang Jian of Baimajin." Yang Ming took out a sealed scroll from the desk and handed it to the soldiers beside him.

"promise."

As Yang Ming issued military orders one after another, the entire city of Diqiu had quietly changed.

When Wei Yong and the Wei army under his command were heading towards Diqiu City, Yang Ming also set his sights on Chaoge City.

Under the night, the moonlight was like water, pouring on the plain on the south bank of the river. Under the gate of Diqiu City, a group of two thousand cavalrymen, one man and two horses, quietly came out of the military camp. The sound of horse hooves hitting the ground made this quiet man The long night has a different flavor.

When the main force of the Wei army was heading towards Diqiu City, the Qin army was also heading towards Chaoge City.

Compared with the Wei army's infantry-based army, the Qin army's elite cavalry was undoubtedly much faster in marching. When Wei Yong and the Wei army only felt that Diqiu City was in sight, the Qin army's elite cavalry had already appeared at dawn. Appeared at the foot of Chaoge City.

While the soldiers of Chaoge City were still sleeping, the snare killer who had been mobilized from South Korea ten days earlier and lurked into Chaoge City had already taken control of the city gate.

Luo Wang, such a top killer organization, is not only used for assassinations. When it cooperates with the army, it can also explode with huge power.

Under the cooperation of Luowang Killer, in the dawn sunshine, the Qin army launched an attack on Chaoge City. Before Chaoge's defenders could react, the Qin army occupied the city gate.

As more and more Qin troops poured into the city, several important places in Chaoge City, from government offices, to granaries, to arsenals, were all exposed to Qin troops' attacks.

At this time, Wei Yong and his army had just had a feast and were preparing to walk the last thirty miles to recapture Diqiu City from the Qin army.

In the afternoon, the Wei army finally appeared at the gate of Diqiu City. The Wei army seemed to be very stable, and the closed gate of Diqiu City was obviously what Wei Yong had expected. So the Wei army set up camp in an orderly manner, and under the Qin army A pot is cooking in sight.

On this day, the Wei army outside the city and the Qin army inside the city were at peace with each other. Until the early morning of the next day, the sound of ancient drums as the Wei army marched completely broke the tranquility that had lasted from yesterday to the present.

In this era, there are only a few ways to attack a city. When both sides are not stupid and have never made fatal mistakes, in an offensive and defensive battle, the battle will ultimately fall on the will of the soldiers on both sides. Whichever side's soldiers are the first to have their morale collapse when they continue to die, will lose the victory of the war.

The Qin army's fighting will is definitely the strongest in the world. If the Wei army under the city is still the Wei soldiers who devoted all the country's efforts to support it, they can still compete with the Qin army in terms of fighting will. Unfortunately, now The Wei army is no longer the Wei soldiers it once was.

With the failure of Wei's foreign wars and the continuous encroachment of its territory by Qin, Wei had long lost its national power and naturally could not afford to support real Wei soldiers.

Therefore, in terms of fighting will, the Wei army cannot be stronger than the Qin army. This is why Wei Yong took advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the Qin army went to Baima, and then came out from Chaoge City to attack Diqiu City.

During the high-intensity attack by the Wei army that lasted for three full days, Diqiu City remained motionless, but the Wei army suffered a lot of casualties.

In the main tent of the Wei army, Wei Yong looked at the map of Diqiu City in his hand with a look of thought on his brows.

"Lord Sikong, we can't go on like this. This Diqiu City is guarded by the Qin army. It is impregnable and very difficult to attack." A school lieutenant in charge of attacking the city walked in from outside the tent and said to Wei Yong .

"Don't I know? But Diqiu City is at its most empty right now. If we can't capture Diqiu City at this time, there will be no chance in the future." Wei Yong said calmly.

"But?" The captain wanted to say something else. After all, no matter how well Wei Yong said it, he did not go to the battlefield, but he was different. In one morning, all ten of his commanders were standing tall. The figure on the city wall shot nine people alive, seven of them died directly, and the remaining two were seriously injured. Whether they can survive depends on whether they can survive this day.

The pressure felt by the captain who was facing death could not be understood by Wei Yong in one sentence.

"No but, if you can't do it, I can replace someone who can." Wei Yong said.

"Report, urgent report to Chaoge." At this moment, a messenger's loud call came from outside the military camp.

When Wei Yong heard this voice, his heart suddenly sank, Chao Ge urgently reported? What urgent report can Chaoge make at this time?

Wei Yong couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

After a moment of panic, Wei Yong quickly ordered: "Stop his mouth."

"What happened in Chaoge City?" asked Wei Yong, who brought the messenger into the Chinese army's tent.

"Reporting to Master Sikong, the Qin army suddenly appeared in Chaoge City in the early morning three days ago. The whole process was carried out, and they were caught off guard and were attacked by the Qin army. Chaoge soldiers and civilians fought hard for three days. At present, only the arsenal is still holding on, and the rest are All the land was captured by the Qin army." The messenger said with a mournful face.

"How many Qin troops did they go from?" Wei Yong asked.

"There are probably thousands of them. They are all cavalrymen with two horses. They should be cavalry leaving from Diqiu City." The messenger replied.

"This?" Wei Yong hesitated for a moment.

He is not a stupid person. He knows very well that rescuing Chaoge City is not the best choice at the moment. The army is frustrated at the foot of Diqiu City. If he retreats hastily to rescue Chaoge, it is very likely that the Qin army will take advantage of him. Qiucheng, trying to exchange city for city is the best choice.

However, such a decision cannot be made by him alone. If something happens that he doesn't want to see, he has to find some people to share the responsibility.

Thinking of this, Wei Yong ordered that all officers from the lieutenant colonel level of the army come to the central army tent to discuss military affairs.

As something strange happened to the Wei army, the Wei army that was attacking under the city of Diqiu stopped their offensive.

Wei Yong looked around at the many captains in the Chinese Army's tent and told what happened in Chaoge City. For a moment, the atmosphere in the Chinese Army's tent was condensed.

"Lord Sikong, please return the troops to rescue Chaoge City." The captain who was born in Chaoge City quickly stood up and said.

"That would be a taboo for military strategists, and they would completely fall into the rhythm of the Qin army." Another person shook his head.

The army retreated hastily. They could still maintain their true intentions, but those soldiers under their command who did not know the truth would only think that the Wei army had been defeated. The morale of the army was in disintegration. If the Qin army took advantage of the situation to attack again, it would be really terrible. It is possible to lose.

"But Diqiu City is difficult to attack, but Chaoge City is different. The Qin army has newly occupied Chaoge, and the city will definitely be unstable. As long as the army returns to support, Chaoge City can be easily recaptured."

For a while, there was endless debate in the Wei army's tent.

"Everyone, have you ever thought about it. The Qin army in Diqiu City already has few troops, and they sent out elite cavalry to sneak attack Chaoge City. At this time, the troops in their hands will only be even more stretched." Wei Yong said.

"The Qin army's sneak attack on Chaoge City certainly caught us off guard, but didn't it also expose the lack of their military strength, and they had to use such a strategy to force us to return to Chaoge City to aid?" Wei Yong continued, his eyes twinkling. A light called wisdom.

"I don't know who is right between continuing to attack Diqiu or returning to Chaoge, but I know that it must be right not to let the Qin army get what they want." Wei Yong's face was filled with determination as he spoke. color.

As Wei Yong's words fell, the quarrel in the Chinese army's tent stopped. What Wei Yong said made sense. It made sense.

But something seems to be wrong.

"The last general is willing to obey the command of General Sikong." Someone immediately expressed his position.

"Very good. You can join me in writing a letter to inform the king about this matter." Wei Yong said with a smile.

This was his real purpose. Although he believed that continuing to attack Diqiu City was the right decision, he was afraid of any accidents, so he thought of using this method to share the risks. If there were any accidents, he would He won't be able to fight it all alone.

For example, the king’s confidant Yang Lingjun. Wei Yong was thinking, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at a middle-aged man.
