Chapter 554:

Chapter 554
Waist cut is the second to Ling Chi's capital punishment, which cuts people from the waist. At that time, people were often not dead. They could see their own internal organs flowing all over the ground. The kind of pain, despair and fear was the greatest for people before they died. Degree of devastation.
The name Ning Jiang heard the words, his face pale and frightened, his legs were soft, and he couldn't stand up if he wanted to. Regardless of the wind sergeant on either side, step forward, grab Ning Jiang, and drag out.
"Wait a minute ... wait for the general to die, the general to die--" At this point Ning would throw all his bones and temperaments behind his head, screaming at Zi Zi.
Zixi laughed secretly in his heart. He lowered his hands to the soldier, then looked at Ning Jiang with a smile, and asked: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Ning would be ashamed but difficult to explain, and there was only one thought in his head, which was to save his life first. He begged for mercy, and wailed in a wailing voice: "General forgiveness ..."
Ziyu smiled, turned and sat back to collapse. Because of being attacked by the Ning Army, the Flying Eagle Army has been stationed in place, Zi Zi said here is a handsome account, but only a circle around the canvas. His gaze was like electricity, staring at Ning Jiang for a long while, Fang asked slowly: "What's your name?"
"Little ... villain Zhang Siting ... this sneak attack ... it wasn't my idea to sneak in your army, the villain was just acting on orders." The Ning Zhang Zhangting explained in a continuous voice, leaving out the relationship and fearing the child I hate myself and then order to cut myself off.
"Zhang Siting?" Ziyu read his name again, nodded, and asked, "Who did you come to attack our army?"
"Yes ... it is the order of the county magistrate." Zhang Siting didn't dare to conceal and told the truth.
"Gun?" Ziyi raised his eyebrows curiously.
"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Jun Li You said the wind ... Your army is fierce and it is difficult for our Ning army to make a positive confrontation. Only to restrain your army as much as possible and slow down your army's pace. After the reinforcements arrive, I Only then could he compete with your army in the front, so he sent the villain and General Wang Tie to ambush here. "Zhang Siting explained all the facts in one breath.
"Who is Wang Tie?" Ziyi asked casually.
"Already ... Jiang Fan of your army ... General has been beheaded ..." Zhang Siting said in horror. Until now, he recalled that Jiang Fan suddenly appeared behind Wang Tie, and he couldn't bear the coldness in his heart when he cut off a ‘knife’. The spiritual practitioners were really terrible ...
At first Jiang Fan was wearing a black armor, but now that his armor is scattered, Zhang Siting naturally does not recognize him.
Zixi nodded, and at the same time glanced at Jiang Fan with admiration. With such a brilliant general assistant, he was really relaxed a lot! It's no wonder that the king valued this person so much. Jiang Fan did have something special. He rolled his eyes and said to Zhang Siting with a smile: "In my view, there are no rocks and no jungle cover, and it is not suitable for ambush. If it were not for today's thick fog, you would hardly approach our army, Li Jun Sending you here to ambush, wouldn't you let you come to death? "
"No, no, no ..." Zhang Siting shook his head again and again and said positively: "Master Shijun has a clever idea. It has long been expected that there will be heavy fog here."
"Oh?" Zixi moved inwardly, and leaned forward subconsciously, waiting for Zhang Siting to continue.
Seeing that Ziyi was interested, Zhang Siting hurriedly said, "Adults in the county have already found out that there is often a thick fog in this area in September and it is difficult to see things outside Sanzhang, so they sent me to wait and sneak in your army. The rear army, mainly fire attack, consumes as much of your army ’s weight and grain as possible, so that your army ’s advancement is not peaceful, so as to slow down your march and fight for the arrival of our reinforcements time."
So clever! Ziyu took a breath. Ning Guo, Li You, Hedong County, was not a mediocre man. He could count the fog in this area and sent ambush in advance. If there were two generals, Jiang Fan and Zhanhu, Is it really possible that the Ning Army will succeed in the attack! Once the heavy weight and forages are burned and destroyed, where can the country continue to march, it can only be stationed in place and wait for logistics supplies.
Thinking of this, Ziyi couldn't help but feel a little scared. With only a small number of troops, he has exerted the greatest restraint to gain time for his own side. Li You is not a civilian, but a handsome man who is good at strategy. He asked, "Is Li You a military general?"
Zhang Siting froze, then nodded again and again and said, "Yes! Master Li was once the deputy commander of the five Central Army Corps, and was named lieutenant general."
That's no wonder! Zi Xi sighed, and Yan Chu planted such a capable lieutenant general in Hedong as Hedong County, which is quite useful.
After a pause, he asked the most critical question, saying: "What is the current urban defense in Qingyuan City? How many defenders are there?"
Zhang Siting hesitated, his eyes fluttered, and he stuttered slightly: "The defense of the county town is very complete and there is sufficient food and grass, but there are not many defenders, probably ... only more than 20,000 people ..."
Zi Xuan blinked, leaned back, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's more than that ?!" His words were tentative, and he saw that Zhang Siting's expression was unnatural when he talked, and deliberately lied to him.
Sure enough, Zhang Siting inhaled secretly and swallowed hard, saying, "At most it's about 30,000 troops."
In just one sentence, 10,000 more troops were scammed, and it seemed that there was still water in it. Ziyu laughed, raised his hand and said, "Since you don't want to tell the truth, why should I keep you? Come, drag him out!"
"Wait, wait!" Zhang Siting originally wanted to leave a way out for himself. Now it seems that the other party knows his own situation very well. He hurriedly said: "General, the original strength of the county town was indeed only 20,000, but when heard that your army invaded the west, Lord Li immediately recruited reserve forces and transferred all the troops scattered in the towns. At present, the county town Its military strength is close to 50,000. The sentence is true, and there is no falsehood, please check the army! "
Yep! Ziyu nodded secretly and was also surprised. He originally estimated that Qingyuan's troops were at least 30,000. Now it seems that he is wrong. Qingyuan has gathered 50,000 people. It is even more difficult to lay down Qingyuan in three days. More difficult.
Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, Zhang Siting mentioned his throat and trembled and said, "The villain has told the general what he knows, and the general will be out of court to spare the villain's life!"
Ziyi returned to God and waved his hand and said, "Take him out first, detain him, and keep him under strict supervision."
"Yes!" Sergeant Feng promised to take Zhang Siting away. At this moment, Jiang Fan suddenly said, "Wait a minute!" He stopped the soldier in front, and then asked Zhang Siting: "Armadillo Marsh what is the place?"
Even though I have never heard of this place, I don't understand why Jiang Fan asks this, Zi Zi looked at him in puzzlement.
Zhang Siting glanced at the puppet and then replied: "The armadillo swamp is a large swamp in the southeast of the river. Because there are too many mice there, the armadillo has the name."
"Oh!" Jiang Fan responded, then smiled at Zi Zi, and said, "He and that Wang Tie originally planned to introduce our army into the swampland when they ran away, so I asked this one."
"Ah!" Of course, Ziyu knows about the Everglades in the southeast of the river, but if he says Armadillo swamps, he won't understand. The armadillo is a giant rat, which is much larger than a normal mouse, and is covered with a thick layer of scale armor. The beast is hard to hurt, and the sword is not afraid. It is a very difficult rodent. Because there are too many armadillo swamps in the southeast of the river, the Ningren named the armadillo swamp there.
The climate in the Hedong area is very suitable for food production, but there is such a large swamp area inside Hedong, which is a traffic jam and a waste of Hedong's space. There were several generations of Ningjun monarchs who wanted to transform the armadillo swamp into a good field. However, whether it was rock-filling or soil-filling, the engineering was too large in terms of productivity at that time. It required the strength of the whole country and it could be completed through the tireless efforts of generations. In the end, the idea of ​​the monarch of Ning Jun came to an end. No matter what, until now the Armadillo Marsh is still well within Hedong.
Ziyu looked at Zhang Siting with a sneer and said, "You want to lead our army into the swamp?"
Zhang Siting, who had heard the question at this time, was Jiang Fan, who had just killed Wang Tie and captured himself. He was afraid, grinning broadly, kneeling on the ground, rushing at Zi Zi and Jiang Fan in a hurry. He said, "General kills, general kills ..."
"Hello, you're so stupid! It's okay to forgive you ~ EbookFREE.me ~, but you can use your stupid plan to help me come up with a strategy to break the city!" Zixi said with a smile.
"Strategy to break the city? This ..." Zhang Siting was sweating anxiously, not to mention that he couldn't think of it. Even if he could think of it, it would not be possible to help Feng Jun beat himself.
"If you can't figure it out, I want your head!" Zixi said slowly.
Life and death are at stake. Zhang Siting is really anxious at this time. His eyes are turning, his mind is turning sharply, and his eyes are blinking for a long while. His eyes are suddenly sharp and he says, "General, you can put the villain back to the county first. As a response to your army, you secretly opened the gates for your army. In this way, your army won't have to fight to win the county! "
What a great idea! The camp generals almost laughed and let you go back? Can you blame us if we can do it? This thief is treating everyone as a fool. Zhan Hu grinned, stepped forward to Zhang Siting, and clenched his big hand to his neck, yelling, "You ca n’t do it when I wait for a three-year-old child ..."
Before he finished speaking, Ziyi waved his hand to him, motioned him not to move rough, then looked at Zhang Siting, and asked with a smile: "This is a good policy, but how can you let me trust you? "
