Knowing that this battle was a matter of life and death, the soldiers of King Qin's army launched a stormy offensive during the darkest period before dawn.The soldiers in front were thrown to the ground by the feather arrows, and the people behind stepped on their bodies and continued to move forward.There are no war drums, no war songs, only the hoarse shouts of soldiers.

I don't know if I am emboldened by myself, or I want to scare the enemy?

The soldiers of Yanyun Army were divided into two teams, and most of the light armored infantry and archers gathered on the front line of the camp.The soldiers holding giant shields squatted on the ground, forming two layers of shield walls on the outermost periphery.The archer stood behind the giant shield, shooting arrows through the gaps deliberately left between the shields.

The well-trained Yan Yun army is extremely experienced in both offense and defense.After ten years of fighting, this army has the temperament of winning every battle.After restoring order from the initial pretense of panic, it was difficult for King Qin's army to move forward easily.The contest between archers is not as bloody as a hand-to-hand combat, but the number of casualties is shocking.

When the archers of the Yanyun army emptied a quiver, Qin Wangjun, who had lost thousands of soldiers, finally rushed outside the camp.A large number of infantrymen began to remove the antlers of the repelling horse under the cover of the shield hand, and then threw the noose on the fence of the camp. Dozens or even hundreds of people worked together to yank back, trying to pull the fence of the camp over.

The archery tower began to shake, and the archers of the Yanyun Army on it couldn't help but exclaimed.Many people began to jump vertically, and before they had time to jump down, the arrow tower collapsed with a groan from the overwhelmed load.The soldiers above fell together with the broken wood, and before they could stand up, they were hacked to death by the crazy soldiers of Qin Wangjun.

An archer of the Yanyun Army did not stand up immediately after landing, but rolled sideways for several steps toward the camp of his fellow robes, grabbed a horizontal knife from the ground, and swung it backwards a few times without looking at it. Down.Feeling the resistance from the blade, he knew someone had been cut by him.

While waving the knife frantically, he rushed towards the camp.

"help me!"

He yelled loudly, and when his fingers were about to touch the giant shield, he was grabbed by the soldiers of King Qin's army behind him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it forward with all his strength. At this time, he wished that someone could rush from behind the shield. Come out and give yourself a hand.But the reality is so cold, Yan Yunjun, who is waiting for the battle, will never open a hole in the shield because of him. If that is the case, the enemy will undoubtedly open a door to victory.

The archer, whose feet were grabbed, wailed, but could not stand up.Soon the archers, dragged into the crowd of enemies, were lost.Blood and shredded flesh continued to fly out in the crowd, including internal organs and severed limbs.The crazy crowd is like a pack of hungry wolves, biting everything they see in front of them.

When the fence of the camp was gradually pulled over, several layers of shields appeared in front of the soldiers of King Qin's army.The archers of the Yan Yun Army had already retreated as a whole, and the shield array slowly closed to form an airtight wall.Behind this wall, a large number of lightly armored spearmen quickly ran to their positions, replacing the archers as the main force of the defense.

When the wolves-like soldiers of King Qin's army rushed up, dense spears pierced out of the shield in an instant.The entire shield formation looked like a huge cactus, and the sharp spears poked out quickly and fiercely.The muffled sound of puffing was endless, and the soldiers of King Qin's army who had just rushed to the front of the shield formation were immediately overturned.

Like a group of walking corpses ignoring death, the fallen soldiers hadn't died yet, but the people behind rushed up again with red eyes. A fully powered meat grinder is constantly harvesting life.

Finally, a soldier of King Qin's army rushed to the front of the shield array at the moment when the spear in front of him was withdrawn. With a cry, he flew forward and slammed into the shield array with his shoulder.

The soldier who squatted on the ground and carried the huge shield on his shoulder was immediately hit by the huge force and almost sat on the ground, as if his shoulder had been hit by a heavy hammer.

He gritted his teeth and stood up the shield again, only to find that there was an extra human head in front of him at some point.

The human head had its eyes open, and its severed neck was covered in blood.

Do not look down.

This is the soldier of King Qin's army who hit the giant shield, but was accidentally killed by his companion behind him after hitting the giant shield.The red-eyed companion frantically waved the horizontal knife, not even noticing that the person in front of him struggling to stand up was his own robe.

The human head flew into the shield formation, and the bloody corpse fell outside the shield formation.

When more and more soldiers of King Qin's army rushed to the front of the shield formation, the soldiers of King Qin's army at the front had no other choice even if they didn't want to die.When the people behind came up, they couldn't even turn around.Pushed and squeezed forward by his companions, he was stabbed to death by the spear that came out.

The dead bodies piled up a high slope in front of the shield formation, and the soldiers behind jumped into the shield formation stepping on the high slope formed by the corpses.

The fighting became even more brutal.

………Liang Emperor Xiao Mian, who was standing on the city wall of Xiangyang City, turned pale. What he held in his hand was something he had never seen before.This magical thing can make the distant scenery very close, and it also allows him to see the fighting outside the city clearly.With this thing, he could even see blood being splashed out in mid-air.

He slowly put down the things in his hands and took a deep breath to calm down.

"What's this thing called?"

he asked in a low voice.

"clairvoyance"

A young man in a black robe standing beside him said in a low voice: "It was the idea of ​​His Highness King Yan, and then it was made by the craftsmen of the Second Department of the Military Inspection Department. It can enlarge the things in the distance. It is very useful for generals on the battlefield to observe the enemy's situation."

"It's really useful."

Xiao Mian sighed, and asked with some emotion: "I heard that His Royal Highness King Yan is an omniscient person, as if... he was born knowing everything. He can always think of many things that others can't think of, It is said that the powerful gunpowder pack in your army was also thought up by King Yan?"

"Yes"

Guan Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Many people say that His Highness King Yan is a person who is born with knowledge."

"Such a person...is a person favored by the heavens. No wonder he has achieved today's achievements."

There was some helplessness in Xiao Xian's tone, the kind of helplessness when facing an enemy that he would never be able to defeat.He would never believe that there are really people who are born with knowledge in this world, but when Guan Xiaoshu told some things about King Yan, he found that God was really unfair to everyone.

At the very least, God's care for Yan Wang Li Xian made others jealous.

"you are wrong."

Guan Xiaoshu shook his head and said: "God will not favor anyone, because God is ruthless. Don't you know? The life of King Yan before he raised his army seems to be not at all satisfactory. If you say that God favors him, what is the arrangement? All kinds of tribulations? Or the kind of catastrophe that will never be restored if you are not careful?"

Xiao Xian had heard about Li Xian's past, so he couldn't answer Guan Xiaoshu's question.

"It's up to people, what's up to God?"

Guan Xiaoshu smiled: "I didn't say that, it was the King of Yan. Before I entered the Military Inspection Office, I never knew that the King of Yan didn't care about the sky. But this is also my pride, Isn't it something to brag about having such a lord?"

"congratulations!"

Guan Xiaoshu looked at Xiao Mi and said, "You made the most correct choice."

Xiao Mian looked sad, looked at the clairvoyant in his hand, and said bitterly: "His Royal Highness asked you to give me this thing, did you want me to see with my own eyes how he trampled the enemy under his feet? If so , this thing is also a disgrace to me."

Guan Xiaoshu smiled and said: "I don't admit it, what a shame it is for you to lose to my lord."

"Perhaps in the near future, you will be thankful or even proud of the choice you made today. Instead of standing here annoyed and disappointed as you are now. His Royal Highness King Yan's achievements today are not due to good luck. So the failure is not due to bad luck... Maybe you will think, if Li Shimin, a lunatic, did not attack your Liang country at any cost, maybe you don't have to surrender to His Royal Highness King Yan now."

"But what I'm going to tell you is..."

Guan Xiaoshu looked at Xiao Xian, and said in a calm but serious tone: "The reason why Li Shimin was able to leave Chang'an alive, why he was able to make a comeback in a short period of time, and why he was able to besiege your Xiangyang City and drive you to nowhere is not his luck." Well...but because King Yan asked him to do this."

"From the very beginning, Li Shimin was just a pawn played by my lord. The lord asked him to fight you. After both losers...wouldn't it be much easier for the lord to go south again? You should understand now that Li Shimin is no match for the lord at all. , It’s just a chess piece... What you see in front of you is a chess piece fighting against its own destiny, but when have you ever seen a chess piece walk out of the chessboard?”

Hearing these words, Xiao Xian was so cold that he couldn't resist.

It's like falling into an ice cave, unable to struggle out at all.

... The purpose of the negotiation is to convince the opponent, or it can be said to make him give up.Guan Xiaoshu is a master negotiator, he made Xiao Mian feel what despair is and what powerlessness is.

He is right, Li Shimin is indeed a pawn that Li Xian has been playing around.But there is no doubt that Li Shimin's chess piece almost broke free from the shackles of the chessboard and stepped out of his own world.Right now, it is still possible for Li Shimin to smash the chessboard and rebuild a chessboard that belongs to him.

But Li Xian came in person, just to press him firmly on the chessboard.

Li Shimin looked at the distance and finally there was some collapse
