[], provide free reading of the full text of the truly completed novel!
In Rundu City, there was a cheer. Downstairs, the soldiers looked at the arrows that could not be pulled by the car all over the ground, and they were happy.
Uto's arrows are sharper and stronger than Dawei's arrows, and now they can get tens of thousands of arrows without effort. No one thought of such a pie in the sky. The second thing is to borrow an arrow. The most important thing is that these days, the Uto people hit the door and were helpless and swept away. The Uto people gave them a stumbling block. They let the Uto people this time. Eating such a big loss is hard to say.
"It's just a group of foolish men who only sell their strength!" Zhao Shiming stroked his beard and smiled: "Where do you know how to outsmart."
He looked at the young man who was at the forefront, trotting to follow, and said, "This time thanks to Master Xiaohe!"
So quickly "Master Xiaohe"? He Yan smiled and said: "If everyone in the city worked together to catch up with so many grass-roots people, I wouldn't be able to do that alone."
Zhao Shiming had a better impression of the young man Lang, and it is no wonder that he was blocked at a young age, neither grabbing power nor being proud, but much better than Li Kuang's dog. He asked: "What shall we do afterwards?"
He Yan glanced sideways at the little old man, then at the people around her. The soldiers around her also stared at her scorchingly. When she first arrived at Rundu, she only felt that the city was dead and everyone was lifeless. It was just waiting for the door to die. Only one night passed right now, and there was a little more thing called'Hope' in their eyes.
Hope is always particularly precious.
"I will discuss the next plan with Master Li, but there is one more thing to ask Master Zhao to help." He Yan said.
Zhao Shiming was busy with a smile and said: "It's easy to talk and talk, Master Xiaohe but it's okay."
"This thing needs to be troubled by all the craftsmen in the city," she lowered her eyes. "The mask is built for me, the sooner the better."
...
In the hall, Li Kuang turned around and looked at the two in front of him. Qiluo stood behind Li Kuang and stared at the beautiful woman in the house.
Ying Xiang handed over the token and hand scroll, Li Kuang took it over, and then looked at Chu Zhaodao after reading it: "It turned out to be the fourth son of Chu."
The name of the fourth son of Chu is more famous than the Wu Anlang who came that day. After all, there is an elegant and well-known father in the country, and another gentleman who is enlightened, and he is still gentle and gentle. Such people are thrown in the crowd, and it is difficult to think without paying attention.
"Master Li, my son is trapped in Rundu on the way back to Shuojing Road. Now Rundu is in this situation... Xiang Xiang is alive, can you ask Master Li to your son out of the city?"
Qi Luo heard the words and breathed easily. This woman was born so beautiful. If she stayed in Rundu, it was really disturbing. What if Li Kuang took a fancy to her and accepted her? The position of her most beloved concubine, can't help others.
Li Kuang looked at Chu Zhao and said, "It's not difficult."
No matter how dissatisfied he was, Xu Jingfu's face could not help but give. Li Kuang couldn't help thinking of He Yan's coming. In this world, people are especially different. Like He Yan, he was far away from Liangzhou, but because he was worried that Rundu would not be far away, he would come to coexist with Rundu and die, while Chu Zilan was in Rundu, but he thought about his whole body and retreated, leaving early.
However, he has no ability to force people to stay. The tunnel excavated by General Feihong in the past was to move the people over, but now it has become a passage to send these young masters who have no power.
Resentment was pressed into his heart, but Li Kuang raised a smile on his face. This smile was even a bit pleasing. "After the fourth son of Chu passed the Jinling or other cities, could he ask for Run? Reinforcement?" He rubbed his hands in embarrassment. "At the moment, Run is already at stake. If Xiangye is willing to help..."
"This is nature," Chu Zhao smiled. "Once Chu Mou and his maid are out of town safely, they will surely find a way to seek help for Rundu."
"Thank you." Li Kuang was a little stubborn. When was the way of Dawei's life was actually being applauded by Quan Xiang. The Uto people were afraid that they would have seen corruption in the royal family before they took advantage of the fire.
While talking, someone came in and said, "Master Li, after today, I plan to..."
He Yan's voice came to an abrupt halt, looking at Chu Zhao, and said in surprise: "Brother Chu?"
"Brother He?" Chu Zhao also stunned, "Why are you here?"
He Yan did not expect that he would meet Chu Zhao in Rundu, and only said: "I... come to the army."
"Why?" Li Kuang also froze, "You two know each other?"
"Four sons of Chu had previously spent some time in Liangzhou Wei," He Yan asked, "Brother Chu, you haven't told me, why are you here?"
"When I and Yingxiang returned to Beijing, they passed by Rundu, and the Uto people attacked the city and were temporarily trapped in the city. I didn't expect to be waiting for Brother He," Chu Zhao said here, but instead laughed, "It's also a fate. ."
Who could have imagined that she and Chu Zhao had left for so long before and after, and they didn't expect to meet at Rundu. This really responded to what Chu Zhao said at the beginning of "together with". Although there are many questions, it is not the time to speak. He Yan said to Chu Zhao: "Brother Chu, I still have something to discuss with Master Li. If you are not in a hurry, can you wait until I finish talking with Master Li."
"Nothing, I'm not in a hurry." Chu Zhao made a "please" gesture.
He Yan said to Li Kuang: "Master Li, let's go into the room and talk."
Li Kuang and He Yan went into the room, Qiluo glanced at them, and quit and quit. Ying Xiang hesitated: "Four sons..."
"We are not leaving for now."
"But Xiang Xiang's side..."
"I have my own opinion."
After a while, Ying Xiang said: "Four sons do not leave, are you worried about girl He?"
Chu Zhao did not answer her words, her smile faded, "Ying Xiang, you said too much."
Ying Xiang stopped talking.
...
In the room, Li Kuang turned his head and looked at He Yan, "Will we still hang the grass man? The Uto people have been fooled once, it is impossible to go to the second time."
"Those Uto people are stupid, but they are also cunning. After a lesson, they will only be more suspicious in the future. Anyway, at night, there will be no loss to hang the grassman. Why don't Master Li try it? If they are still willing to be fooled, It is also good to charge more arrows."
"So what if they are not fooled?"
"That would be better."
Li Kuang shook his head: "Brother He, I don't understand what you want to do?"
He Yan looked at Li Kuang. She also ran across the battlefield side by side with Li Kuang. This person, Li Kuang, is serious and old-fashioned. He fights one by one. Although he is capable, he doesn't like to use tactics. He Yan turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall in the house, saying, "Master Li, if you are a Uto, last night I knew that I was being fooled into a fool, and today I will repeat my tricks and wait until tomorrow, Still, what would you do?"
"I'll be anxious and ruined, and I won't be fooled again!"
"You will not shoot arrows at the people who came down from the tower anymore?"
"of course."
"That's fine," He Yan turned around and stared at him with a slight smile. "Then for the third time, our people can go out of the city directly. Anyway, they will also think that the people who come down from the tower are just fake grass. people."
Li Kuang froze for a moment.
Everyone has heard the story of the wolf coming, once and twice fooled, the third time even a fool would not believe it anymore. The same is true for the Uto people, who have lost so many arrows in vain, and will not shoot arrows at the grassman again, but in the last time, those grassmen were quietly replaced by real Rundu The soldiers just took advantage of the night and sneaked into their camp.
Li Kuang understood He Yan's meaning, but he still didn't understand, "Do you mean, want people to leave the city?"
"Sir Li, I said long ago, it is better to defend than to defend. If we continue to defend like this, sooner or later, the Uto people will attack the city immediately. Yesterday's borrowing of arrows has angered them. Now when they are the least calm, we still I can find an opportunity to wait for them to recuperate and then attack the city. Rundu’s soldiers and horses cannot stop them from breaking through the city gate."
Li Kuang was shocked and couldn't help saying: "I naturally know this, but even if we attack at night, our manpower is still not enough!"
"It's not impossible to kill the Utopian soldiers in a row. This is impossible. What we have to do is burn their grain and break their morale. Without the grain and grass, the Utopians will panic and their military will be unstable. They will be more hesitant about the run. Indefinitely, the time won," He Yan said: "Master Li, please call for help from Jinling."
"Jinling?"
He Yan looked at him: "Master Li, don't put your hopes on the hopeless person. General Feihong will not come. If he comes, he will come long ago. Run wants to hold on, and must seek another way of life. Even if you trust He Rufei and run the lives of tens of thousands of people, you can withstand your trust."
The young man's eyes were firm, his tone was unquestionable, and Li Kuang's heart was shaken a moment. After a moment, he looked at He Yan: "It's easy to say, even if you sneak attack at night, how can you ensure that the Uto people's grains are burnt? They have many soldiers and horses, and they are staying at the grains and grasses, I'm afraid they are not close, Was discovered by Utopia."
"Five hundred people."
"what?"
"I need five hundred soldiers," said the young man. "Master Li knows better than me what the forward battalion means. With me as the head, the five hundred forward battalion will definitely burn their grain. Even if we die on the battlefield It doesn’t matter if you die under the sword of the Uto people, please ask Master Li to continue to defend the city, and don’t waste everyone’s sacrifice.

"Of course," she said, "it would be even better if you could bring Kuyat's head back."
...
Since the grassman borrowed the arrow that day, for three days in a row, every night at night, under the Rundu city tower, dozens of ropes will be hung slowly, and people will be hung on the rope and fall to the ground. "People" follow suit.
At first, Uto people will tentatively shoot tens of hundreds of arrows, and finally, too lazy to be fooled, only a few arrows are scattered and then they close.
All the craftsmen in the city gathered and rushed to make masks overnight. Wang Ba dragged the box of a bullock cart and moved the box to the ground with the rest of the people. He said to He Yan, "It's all here."
Under the eyes of everyone, He Yan stepped forward and stooped to lift the lid of a box, which was covered with dense masks. Zhao Shiming picked up a piece to see, and saw the green-faced fangs of the mask, and his eyes were like copper bells. It was terrible. He could not help but let go of his hands and let the mask fall back into the box. He muttered: "It's scary."
"Brother He, are you going to wear these masks to fight the Uto people?" Wheat asked nervously. "These... these are masks of evil spirits! It's really terrible."
He Yan smiled: "Is it terrible? Not at all."
In Jiyang, a "liar lying" mask could make Ling Xiu avoid them. If you see these at the moment, you will probably be scared. When Zhao Shiming recruited all the artisans of Rundu to make masks for her, He Yan had only one requirement. The more weird and horrible it looked, the better, like the little ghosts in the eighteenth layer of in Buddha statues, ugly and ugly.
She looked at this by herself, and felt that ugliness was really ugly, but terrible but not at all, probably because in her life, people were much more terrible than ghosts, and the real horror and strange things she had seen were far greater than that.
Among the masks in this box, the top one is very different. This one does not seem to have those bells and whistles. The whole mask is made of iron and is airtight, showing only a pair of eyes and chin. He Yan picked up the mask and gently covered it.
Wang Ba is dissatisfied: "Why does your one look so much better? Can it be treated equally? Why do we feel ugly about wearing these dogs?"
Li Kuang, on the other side, took a breath and said, "General He!"
Everyone looked at Li Kuang, and Jiang Jiao smiled: "Master Li, Brother He is now Wu Anlang, and he has not yet been promoted to a general."
Only then did Li Kuang find that his words were misunderstood by others, explaining: "I mean, this mask is the mask of General Feihong."
When he and He Rufei fought side by side, He Rufei wore a mask that looked very similar. He had several times to narrow his heart and wanted to take it, but the mask was like the one on He Rufei's face, so he couldn't take it off. Later, his concubine Qi Luo told him that He Rufei was very concerned about the scars on his face, and it was better not to expose others to short, Li Kuang dispelled the idea.
After a few more years, He Rufei returned to Beijing. He heard that he took off the mask in front of His Majesty's face. He was a handsome and handsome face, and it was amazing. Li Kuang, who heard the news, was very angry and felt that this person was ill. The so-called "ugly and salt-free" were all deceptive nonsense. Buqi is to find a gimmick for himself, just to make a contrast.
In addition to seeing He Rufei once in Beijing, Beijing, and Beijing, the two of them have not seen each other for several years, but now they see the shadow of He Rufei in the young man in front of him. Brave and generous as always.
But he will never be He Rufei.
Li Kuang whispered in his heart, Mo Fei He Rufei still has a brother in his family, this young boy is young, but he already has a general style. They all surnamed He... He Yuansheng, like Chu Linfeng, did he have an illegitimate child outside?
He Yan didn't know that Li Kuang's thoughts had gone so far. Jiang Jiao on the side asked, "General Feihong's mask? Master Li means that this mask is very similar to General Feihong's mask?"
After a long time, he had not remembered the details of the mask worn by He Rufei, but he nodded, and nodded: "It looks very similar."
He Yanwei smiled, and since He Rufei replaced her as "Feihong", she did not expect that one day she would wear this familiar mask.
"Brother He, what are you going to do?" Huang Xiong wondered.
"It's true and false, true and false, and Kuyat has never seen a real General Feihong. But I must have heard of the fact that the mask general fought against the Xiqiang people. I wore this mask and killed the enemy camp, they didn't know the mask Who is the next person? Contradicted, morale chaos, then, that is our opportunity."
"You..." Li Kuang suddenly.
"I'm going to pretend to be General Feihong," the boy said.
...
The night was getting deeper and there was drizzle tonight.
In the wilderness came the sound of insects, and in the camp, the Uto soldiers were resting.
A few days ago, Li Kuang's "Cowman Borrowing Arrows" in Run City caused them to waste 100,000 feather arrows in vain. These days they are cleaning up. 100,000 feather arrows are not a small number. The original plan was also changed. Suddenly corrupted, Huyate cut several archers.
And Li Kuang's "Cowman Borrowing Arrow" continues. Every night, there will be a grassman hanging from the city's head. At the beginning, Uto Bing also shot out the arrow array with vigilant thoughts. Later, it was no longer fooled, even I feel that Li Kuang's move is mocking and insulting them. Kuyate said angrily: "On the day when the city is broken, I will bury all Rundu soldiers and horses alive, and I will unload Li Kuang's king and in front of Rundu people!"
After all, it's too embarrassing to be turned around. He was still mocking Marrakech before, but he didn't expect his turn so soon.
"General, what will Li Kuang do if he releases those grassmen tonight?" the men asked.
"What should I do?" Kuyat asked with a sullen face. "Do you want me to be a fool again? Fool!"
Nono dare not answer.
On the tower, He Yan in black was tying ropes to his body. Behind them, Li Kuang selected five hundred elite soldiers for her in the Rundu soldiers and horses.
Wheat and Hongshan were originally not the people of Liangzhou Wei forward camp, and their skills were mediocre. Looking at the prepared brothers, Wheat worriedly said: "Brother Ahe, those Uto people, really don't shoot arrows here? If they shoot arrows here, wouldn't everyone want to look back too late."
He Yan tiptoed and touched his head, although the wheat had grown taller than her, but many times he was more like a child, always reminding He Yan of He Yunsheng. She patiently said: "Everything in the world is born of something, and something is born of nothing. On the first day, we used the grassman to borrow arrows to create such an illusion, and deliberately let the Uto people see through. They thought they knew our strategy, We relaxed our vigilance, and after that, turned nothing into nothing, turned false into true, turned false into reality. When our people really attacked them at night, Huyat must think that it is false, and do not take precautions. They are invincible."
"How can you be sure?"
He Yandao: "There is nothing in the world that can be confirmed. I can only guess Guart's ideas to the greatest extent."
This is a heart-warming battle and a gamble.
He Yan turned his head and looked at the people behind him. These carefully selected Rundu soldiers seemed to be thin and haggard due to long-term consumption with the Uto people, but their eyes were on fire. Being beaten to the door of the house, now finally has the opportunity to fight back, even if the price is life, the big Wei man is not hesitating.
"When we go down, maybe the Uto people can't shoot arrows, but maybe they can shoot arrows. The brothers in the arrow must not make a sound or move." He Yan paused and then continued: "Only us Think of yourself as a'cabble', and Uto people will believe that we are really'cabble'."
Li Kuang's face was solemn. He naturally knew what He Yan meant. There will be sacrifices in war, especially the five hundred soldiers tonight. If they make a sound or move after hitting the arrow, they are likely to be caught by the Uto people.
But it is too difficult to endure the pain of the arrow.
"Maybe if this arrow goes down, we will be injured, maybe we will die." He Yan looked at everyone, his voice calm, "but we all have to remember what our purpose is. Even if we die, we are also trying to keep Rundu But the dead, the Uto's feather arrow has no specific object, and may pierce everyone, this person, including me. I need you to understand the possible results, if someone can't accept it now, you can stand up and leave. Otherwise, because one person makes the entire night raid fail, I will never be lenient!"
The young man's eyebrows were cold, his eyes were cold, and he usually saw his temperament and good speech. When he was really cold, no one dared to refute. No one stood up.
Li Kuang was surprised to find that, unconsciously, he even gave Rundu's command to the young man. He was clearly young, and he didn't even know this Wu Anlang named He Yan before that.
But he had the ability to convince people, just like that year, General Feihong, who was still lieutenant general.
"Are you ready?"
"All right!"
"Very good." He Yan hooked his lips and covered the mask in his face.
The mask blocked the teenager's face, so even with that little childishness disappeared, only a pair of beautiful eyes, as sharp as a knife, kept all the sharp edges hidden.
She walked up to Li Kuang. Before Li Kuang recovered, she took the sword from Li Kuang.
"Master Li, your sword lends me a hand."
"Hello..." Li Kuang was slightly annoyed. What this person did was too natural.
Li Kuang's sword is a good sword. Although it is inferior to Qinglang, it is also sharper and lighter than ordinary swords. He Yan grabbed the sword in her hand, and for a moment, seemed to return to the battlefield in the past. She was still the general with the Fu Yue Army charged, and her blood was not cold.
"General Feihong can't miss the sword." She turned her head, her voice was cold, "Ears, wear your masks, follow me!"
