[], provide free reading of the full text of the truly completed novel!
There are not many people on the street.
The Uto people waited outside the city, the people in the city could not sleep at night, the street vendors had already closed their doors, and the street walked over, cold and deserted, poor and poor.
Mipu had closed his shop as early as a few months ago, and from time to time on the road, women with children were seen digging wild vegetables in the dirt. It's a pity that people in the city can't go out for a few months, and outsiders can't come in. The food that has been eaten has already been eaten, where can you see wild vegetables. Occasionally, when I saw a mouse, I was very happy as if there was meat.
Although everyone is worried now that the Uto people outside the city do not know when they can fight in, hunger has spread to every corner of the city. When the last grain of rice is eaten, even if the Uto people do not attack the city, something serious will happen in the city.
Someone is walking slowly in this bleak street. It's a man and a woman, all of them have excellent looks. The man is dressed in an indigo robe, warm and beautiful, and the woman's eyes are gorgeous and charming.
Ying Xiang took out a piece of dry food from the bag and handed it to Chu Zhao, saying, "Four sons, the shops here are closed. First eat some dry food and pad your stomach."
This dry food was previously eaten by the guards in Liangzhou Weili. It has been put in the baggage, dry and hard, and now there are no inns to eat around here, and I can only pay attention to it.
Chu Zhao took it, was about to eat, and glanced at a little girl standing under the tree. The little girl was about five or six years old, her face was dirty, her clothes were ragged, she didn't wear shoes, she was barefoot. I don't know whose child it was, and he stared straight at the dry food on his hand and didn't speak.
Chu Zhao smiled, stepped forward, squatted down, and handed her the dry food.
The little girl froze for a moment, then glanced around, as if afraid of Chu Zhao's repentance, she snatched the dry food into her arms, turned her head and ran away, and soon disappeared at the end of the deserted street.
Chu Zhao stood up and said, "Four sons..."
"Nothing." He shook his head. "Run can't hold it for long."
Ying Xiang was worried. The two of them came out from Liangzhou Wei and hurried back to Shuojing. As soon as they arrived at Rundu, the Uto people followed. The general of the city, Li Kuang, ordered to guard the city gate and could neither enter nor leave. Anti trapped here.
"We have to leave Rundu as soon as possible," Ying Xiang whispered: "Uto people have been tempting the siege for several days, and want to come to attack in these few days. Once the city breaks... we are also in danger."
Those Uto people are sly and fierce, even though Chu Zhao has a way to retreat, whether she is a woman or a very beautiful woman, the beauty is always miserable in the troubled times. Ying Xiang couldn't help shivering.
Chu Zhao seemed to see what she was thinking, and only said: "We will leave tomorrow."
Ying Xiang let go of her heart and grateful: "Thank you, Sisong."
"Before that, we have to find Li Kuang, the general of the city." Chu Zhao smiled. "Without his help, we can't get out of the city."
Ying Xiang nodded, even though the gates were blocked, but she never doubted that they could not retreat. In every city there are secret passages, family members of high-ranking officials, and important people will be sent out at a particularly critical time as vitality for their stay.
It is impossible for Li Xiang to ignore Xu Xiang's face.
...
"Sneak attack? Impossible, this is too risky!"
"That is, it's easy to say, and it's clearly death. Although all of us are not afraid of death, we can't just target people!"
In the room, people who heard He Yan spoke one after another.
Li Kuang looked to He Yan. The boy said that he had a good sense of mind, and he didn't know what to do. The deputy soldiers in the City Gate Army and several other brothers of He Yan were in the house.
When the voice of everyone's discussion was a little calmer, He Yan said, "I know you can't believe me now. But I have asked Master Li. In the past ten days, Uto people took advantage of five days and nights. Attacked the city gate at night, although they gave up in the end, like temptation, the Uto people have not moved in the last three days."
"In my experience with the Uto people, it is not a good thing to be quiet at this time. I am afraid that the Uto people are calculating the total offensive. They have already touched the situation in Rundu City similarly. The Uto people have spent a long period of time, and their morale and physical strength are not as good as before. The Uto people launched a general attack and the city gate will be broken."
"Why do you say that? Are you cursing us?" said a grumpy vice soldier.
"Is it true that it can be called a curse? Can you only listen to good words?" Wang Ba sarcastically said, "Then I can now say that the gates of your Rundu city are as stable as iron and iron, and it is impossible to break the city. Possibly. Do you believe it? You use this to ask anyone on the street and ask if they believe it or not!"
"Rundu Shoucheng relies on self-deception to deceive others. My mother-in-law has never seen such a funny thing!"
He originally came to Rundu with He Yan, with the heart of deciding to live for justice, and now his blood was not cherished by others, and the blood was instantly turned into anger, and the person who cursed was speechless.
The atmosphere is a bit frozen.
Huang Xiong looked at Li Kuang: "Master Li, my brother He is not easy, he is very proficient in art of war. In Liangzhou Weili, except Xiao Dudu, he is the most powerful." He gave He Yan every effort to wear a high hat, "Since he says he can sneak attack, he must have his own way. You veto so arbitrarily, why don't you listen to what he said first, it's better for everyone to negotiate with him kindly?
What he said was very kind and mature, but when he spoke, he touched the sword in his waist from time to time, which made people shudder.
Someone boldly said, "He... Lord He, it's not that we don't want to sneak attack. It's just that we have fewer soldiers and horses, and then we go to sneak attacks, and there are no soldiers to guard the city. And now those Utos People stared at the city gate very tightly, just because they were shot out of the sieve by their arrows before they left the city. How can they get into their camps at night?"
"Arrow?" He Yan paused and looked at the person who had just spoken. "How much are Uto's arrows?"
"A lot." The man replied bitterly. "In fact, when the Uto people came, we played against them on the city gate. But then our arrows were few, but their arrows were still many. Very well, some people used to ambush them to assassinate their generals, but they didn’t expect to go out of the city gate, but they were penetrated by the arrow before they sneaked in. The Uto people cut off his head and hung on the branches outside the city Make fun of it." When it comes to this, everyone in the room is choking.
Such provocation is really unbearable.
"You mean, our arrows are few, but their arrows are many?" He Yan asked.
The other party nodded.
He Yan looked at Li Kuang again, "If we lead those Uto people to the city gate when we attack, how many Uto people can be killed by the archers ambushing on the tower?"
"Thousands to 10,000." Li Kuang replied, "But we don't have so many arrows."
"We have."
Everyone was stunned.
"Let those Uto people come and cast arrows for us." The teenager smiled, his eyes bright and amazing, and in a flash, Li Kuang thought of another person. He didn't see the face under the mask at that time. He only remembered the eyes. Just like the eyes in front of him, he was confident and calm. Even in the chaotic and harsh circumstances, he could kill the miracle of encirclement.
With him there, the military will be stable and never give up.
"What are you going to do?" he asked, recovering.
"I need to summon all the craftsmen and women in the city to make the grassman for me."
...
Late at night, in the wilderness outside the city gate, thousands of tens of thousands of camps stood quietly. Looking from a distance, the wilderness seemed to turn into an endless hill, and the momentum was amazing.
The soldiers on patrol were walking around.
Kuyat, the Uto leader who led troops to attack Rundu, was pouring wine into the bowl. The wine was fragrant, he bowled his stomach, patted his stomach, and said, "This is the wine made by Rundu people? How is it different from sweet water? It is just a woman's preference. Everyone in Dawei likes to drink this. It’s no wonder that the weak and timid of the birth, cut it with a knife!"
Faithful and flattering said: "Yes, yes, Dawei's wine, where is it comparable to Uto's spirits!"
Hu Yat laughed, and said: "Go to the captive, pick a few women over!"
The Rundu people are now closing the city gates tightly, but when they are stationed here, there are still many people lingering outside the city. Including the nearby Zhuangzi, Uto soldiers wiped out these Zhuangzi, the woman stayed, and the rest were killed, not even the children. These wines are also robbed from Zhuangzi. Those people have no power of chickens, and they can easily cut the vegetables and cut the whole village.
The Uto people envy the Da Wei people and look down on them. They envied the Dawei people with ornate silk, exquisite porcelain, a large area and many people, as well as beautiful tall houses. And they live in the desert, by the grassland, with only the sound of wind and nothing.
They despised the great Wei people's weakness, timidity, and even lacked the ability to protect themselves. Guarding against the so-called "benevolence" and waiting for others to invade. A piece of unprotected fat always attracts all kinds of eyes. The Uto people were silent for many years, and finally couldn't help it.
"We have been waiting here for a month," said the confidant on one side: "He Rufei still did not come. As the Lord said, He Rufei will not come again."
Hu Yate laughed: "That's really great!"
Dawei emphasized on the importance of military affairs. Over the years, a lot of generals have appeared, but the most feared ones are General Feihong and General Feng Yun. The stupid Maca, relying on his cousin of the sovereign, volunteered to seize Jiyang, who would have hit Xiao Huaijin. He was also unlucky, but it was a pity that 150,000 troops were completely lost to Uto, causing Uto's vitality to be seriously injured.
He wasn't Maca. The choice of the errand of Rundu must be due to complete assurance.
"Da Wei has a saying, what is called'The red dust on the other side is busy like a fire, when Xuan Qingzhang is cold as ice.' What we are doing now is'Watching the fire from the other side'. Weaknesses. Using power and beauty is no different."
"Sometimes I really don't understand the Dawei people," Hu Yat's face was filled with real confusion. "Why do they always like to kill each other? If there are people like Xiao Huaijin and He Rufei, in our Uto , The sovereign will inevitably offer the best preferential treatment. They will become the two most advantageous swords of Uto. With them, all the world will be included in the bag. However, the Dawei people have no such good players. Once someone rises, They are to be stepped into the mud. However, this is just right. If Xiao Huaijin and He Rufei are really impeccable, it will be a big problem for us.
A close friend also said: "Yes, this is just right, thanks to many years of planning by the proprietor, letting the fire burn bigger and bigger early, now we don't need us, they Dawei himself helped Uto fight their own people Now."
Laughter came from the tent. At this time, Uto Bing, who had just left, brought back several Wei women. They were all captives from the nearby Zhuangzi. The women were still young and pretty, and they shivered when they entered.
Hu Ya's character is brutal, and there are not many women who have been torn to death by him.
He grinned and grabbed a woman beside him without moving. Suddenly he heard a horn sound from outside. Everyone was stunned.
"what happened?"
"Someone is out of town!"
The camp was suddenly in chaos, and suddenly Yate had no interest to continue, pushed the woman away, stood up and walked out, and a Utopian soldier hurried forward to report: "General, someone outside the gate is coming down from the tower! "
"What?" Kuyat shook.
Those Rundu people are timid like mice, and dare to hide in the city and dare not speak out. In the past, he tried to sneak attack once, but before the man came down, he was shot as a hedgehog by their Uto people. How dare you come back now? This is somewhat unexpected from Huyatt. It stands to reason that those Rundu people should not be like this.
Could it be that the mountains and rivers were exhausted and decided to fight desperately? Kuyate strode toward the wilderness, "Go, go and see!"
Outside the dark tower, it turned out that hundreds of ropes were hanging down, and it seemed that one person after another went down from the tower. From a distance, there are still many people.
"Are these people crazy?" a Utopian said: "What's this not to die?"
"We have a dog badger in Utopia, timid as a rat. It is said that when meeting a hunter, not only will he not run, but he will panic and take the initiative to gather on the hunter's arrow. I think these are the Rundu people, and they have been scared. , Can't tell the difference between southeast and northwest!"
"Is there any reason not to hunt the prey?" Hu Yate also felt proud in his heart, and before the battle was fought, these Rundu people were frightened by their courage, showing how powerful his Uto army was. Immediately: "Let the archer be ready! It just happens to be a quasi-head. The last time I did not have fun, I can practice arrows this time. Such a good target will not be much in the future!"
The Uto archer immediately prepared.
Arrows flew towards the people on the ropes of the tower, but Xu Shi saw that they were shot as hedgehogs, and countless arrows were shot in one person. The Rundu people seemed to realize this too, and quickly put away the ropes and replaced them with new ones.
Hu Ya Te Le: "I think they are really crazy."
"It's called...they said to the great Wei people, the bravery of ordinary people!" A close word came out of the close friend.
"What a brave man's bravery, I think it's stupid!" Huyat laughed and commanded loudly, "The next batch of archers, prepare!"
On the castle tower, ropes are constantly being lifted, and each rope helps a lot of "people". These people are filled with arrows on their chests and backs. When they are picked up, where is the shape of people, so they are free. Arrow target, looking creepy. But if you look closely, you will find that these are straw people made of straw, and they put on black clothes, and under the darkness of the night, they are just like real people.
Wheat excitedly said: "A lot of arrows, a lot of arrows, Brother Ahe, we are rich!"
"Send a fortune," Wang Baxing said, "these are not silver and can't be eaten."
Li Kuang on the side looked very excited, and almost burst into tears. They have no arrows and can only be beaten down by those Uto people. They dare not even dare to show their heads on the tower in the daytime. Those sentries who patrol the tower will be sacrificed by one or two arrows every day, and they But there are not enough bows and arrows to fight back.
And now it is.
This group of grass-men in black brought out countless arrows, and He Yan put another group down, and before the Uto people discovered them, they could harvest a lot. What a miracle this is? This is a business without cost!
In the daytime, He Yan asked Li Kuang to summon all the craftsmen and women in the city to rush the curb. When the people heard that it was to deal with the Uto people, even the children participated, but in a day, they rushed out a lot. He Yan also asked Li Kuang to borrow the black clothes worn by many ordinary people and dress them neatly.
When the plan was first proposed, Li Kuang also doubted whether Uto people would be so stupid? Do they really send arrows honestly?
The current scene has confirmed his doubts, Uto people are really so stupid.
He looked at the young man standing on the city tower, and there was a sense of admiration in his heart. No matter what the future of Rundu was, at least the grassman tonight borrowed an arrow to allow Rundu to resist some time. Li Kuang walked to He Yan and said: "Brother He is a good man, Li is ashamed of himself."
He Yan glanced at him sideways, and the wind blew the broken hair in the ear of the teenager. He smiled indifferently: "It's just a fluke. These Uto people think that there are so many people in their hearts, they are proud in their hearts, and they are bound to get a run for Run. , When I saw the Caoren, I wouldn’t think of anything else.

"The Uto people think we have nothing, no foreign aid, no weapons, no horses, and we will give him something to do nothing, unexpectedly."
"What if we fail?"
Juvenile said: "Then think of other ways, there will never be only one way in the world."
Li Kuang is speechless, he always feels that this young man feels familiar to him. He shook his head and put aside the ridiculous idea in his mind, only why these thoughts appeared, but because the situation today is particularly similar to that of the year, and even more difficult.
Tonight, this is just the beginning.
He Yan looked at the wilderness in the distance under the tower, and there was a faint light of star ignition, which was the camp where the Uto people were stationed.
Nothing is shown, but also blamed. It is not long and easy to perceive, so it is impossible to disappear. If there is nothing out there, then it will be true and false, and virtual and real. You can defeat your opponents all the time.
He Yan was very puzzled when he read this paragraph in the soldier's book. Take the soldier's book to find Liu Buwang, Liu Buwang only said: "'None' is false, the purpose is to cover up the'true'. If you want to succeed in'out of nothing,' you have to master the other party's psychology, this is The highest level of fighting among generals."
He Yan played with the Uto people three times, and every general of the Uto people had nothing to look at. He was extremely proud and arrogant in his heart. Perhaps it is related to the advocacy of strong force in their country, thinking that if you have soldiers and horses, you will have everything, but you forget that arrogant soldiers will lose.
She looked at the arrows that were flying continuously, and there was a smile on her lips: "Change the batch."
...
The arrow flew towards the direction of Rundu City Gate, and it was fierce.
"What's the matter with Rundu people, aren't they afraid? How many people have they changed?" Uto soldier asked.
Kuyate also had some suspicious feelings in her heart. These Rundu people... it seemed like a continuous flow of death. It has been several hours. Are they going to fold all the soldiers and horses of Rundu here?
The sky was already dawning, and all night long, they were shooting arrows here.
A bird flew across the sky, fell on a branch, and tweeted, breaking the surrounding silence. That is, this is when Hu Yat suddenly remembered something, he asked: "You have put arrows all night, but have you heard those people scream?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
Very quiet, it is too quiet. They shot so many arrows, and the miserable death of those Rundu people did not even yell? Why is this? Fear of the screams being heard by the people in the city, or fear of affecting morale? If that's okay, if it's for other reasons... there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
"Stop it!" Kuyat shouted, "Stop shooting immediately!"
Uto stopped and waited for Huate's next order.
Arrow stopped at the same time, He Yan sitting on the tower yawned and shook his head with regret: "Oh, it was found."
Li Kuang has been very satisfied, this night, they harvested at least one hundred thousand arrows. This is faster and easier than forging by craftsmen. The soldier at Chengtou pulled up the last scarecrow with a rope, rubbed his sore wrist, and turned back to ask He Yan: "Adult, do you need to let the grassman down again?"
"Release." He Yan said: "Put a clean one and show them clearly."
Li Kuang was shocked: "Brother He, does this not let the Uto people know our details, and it will be difficult to cheat the arrow in the future."
He Yan smiled and smiled: "Master Li, I am a grass man. I didn't intend to borrow an arrow. After this night, the Uto people have already discovered something wrong and can't hide it."
"Bullied us for so long, now, they are angry!"
The first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and cast into the wilderness, illuminating the verdant tower of Rundu.
Outside the city gate, a figure hangs quietly. This figure hangs in mid-air, shakes, and at first blurs, and then gradually becomes clear and distinct in the sun, falling into the eyes of Uto people in the distance.
A... a straw man in black.
"Fuck!" Huarte was furious.
