Rebirth of a Star General Chapter 172: borrow arrow

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!

There are not many people on the street.

The Uto people are waiting outside the city, the people in the city can't sleep at night, the street vendors have already closed, and a street walked past, deserted, sad and pitiful.

Mipu had closed the store a few months ago, and from time to time on the road, women with children could be seen picking up wild vegetables in the soil. It is a pity that people in the city cannot go out for several months, and people outside the city cannot come in. The edible food has already been eaten, and wild vegetables can be seen everywhere. Occasionally seeing a mouse, you can be overjoyed as if you are embarrassed.

Although everyone is worried about the Uto people outside the city who don't know when they can come in, but hunger has spread to every corner of the city. When the last grain of rice is eaten, even if the Utuo don't attack the city, something big will happen in the city.

In this bleak street, someone is walking slowly. He is a man and a woman, both of whom are born with excellent looks. The man is dressed in indigo robes, is gentle and handsome, and the woman is beautiful and charming.

Ying Xiang took out a piece of dry food from the baggage and handed it to Chu Zhao, saying: "Four sons, the shops here are closed, first eat some dry food to cushion your stomach."

This dry food is the food that the guards ate before traveling in Liangzhou Weili. It has always been in the baggage, dry and hard, now there are no inns where you can eat here, so I can only pay attention to it.

Chu Zhao took it, was about to eat, and caught a glimpse of a little girl standing under the tree. The little girl is about five or six years old, her face is dirty, her clothes are in tatters, she has no shoes, and has bare feet. I don't know who's the child, staring straight at the dry food in his hand, without speaking.

Chu Zhao smiled, walked forward, squatted down, and handed her the dry food.

The little girl froze for a moment, then glanced around, as if she was afraid that Chu Zhao would regret it, she snatched the dry food into her arms, turned her head and ran, and quickly disappeared at the end of the deserted street. .

Chu Zhao stood up, Ying Xiang said: "Four sons..."

"Nothing." He shook his head, "Run Du can't last long."

Ying Xiang was a little worried. The two of them came out of Liangzhouwei and hurried back to Shuojing. As soon as they arrived at Rundu, the Utuo people followed. Can't get out, but trapped here.

"We have to leave Rundu as soon as possible," Ying Xiang said softly: "Utuo have been trying to attack the city for several days. It will be only a few days before they want to come. Once the city is broken...we are also in danger."

Those Utopians are cunning and cruel. Even though Chu Zhao has a way to retreat, she is a woman or a very beautiful woman. In troubled times, the beauty is always extremely miserable. 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 and said gratefully: "Thank you Si Gongzi."

"Before that, I have to find Li Kuang, the city chief soldier." Chu Zhao smiled, "Without his help, we can't get out of the city."

Ying Xiang nodded, even though the city gates were sealed off, she never doubted that they could not retreat all together. There are secret roads in every city, the families of high-ranking officials, and important people will be sent out at critical times as a vitality to stay.

Li Kuang can't ignore Xu Xiang's face.

……

"Sneak attack? Impossible, this is too risky!"

"That is, it's easy to say, and it's clear to die. Although we in Rundu are not afraid of death, we can't be a target for people in vain!"

In the room, everyone who heard He Yan's words spoke up.

Li Kuang looked at He Yan, the young man said with confidence, he didn't know what idea he was making. The deputy soldiers of the city gate army, as well as several other brothers of He Yan, were all in the house.

When everyone’s voices calmed down a bit, He Yan said, “I know you can’t believe me now. But I’ve already asked Master Li. In the past ten days, there have been five days and nights. The trustees attacked the city gate at night, although they gave up in the end, like a temptation. In the past three days, the Utuo has not moved."

"From the experience I have fought against the Utuo, it is not a good thing to be quiet at this time. The Utuo may be planning a general attack. They have already felt the situation in Rundu City, the soldiers and horses in Rundu City. They have been consumed by the Uto for a long time, and their morale and physical strength are not as good as before. The Uto initiates a general offensive, and the city gate will definitely be broken."

"Why do you say that? Aren't you cursing us?" a sergeant who looked a little grumpy said angrily.

"To tell the truth, can it be called a curse? You can only listen to good things, right?" Wang Ba immediately sarcastically, "Then I can say now that the gates of your capital are as stable as iron, and the city is impossible to break in this life. It's impossible. Do you believe it? You use this to ask anyone on the street, and ask them whether they believe it or not!"

"Rundu defends the city by deceiving himself and others, my mother has never seen such a funny thing!"

He originally came to Rundu with He Yan, with the heart of giving up his life for justice, and now he is not cherished by others. He immediately turned his blood into anger, and the person who scolded could not speak.

The atmosphere is a bit stagnant.

Huang Xiong looked at Li Kuang: "Lord Li, my brother He is very difficult and very proficient in the art of war. Liangzhou Weili is the most powerful except for Xiao Dudu." He gave He Yan a spare no effort to wear it. Gao Hat, "Since he said he could sneak attack, he must have his own way. You arbitrarily veto it, why not listen to what he said first, it’s better for everyone to negotiate with him?"

What he said was very kind and mature, but when he spoke, he stroked the treasured sword on his waist that was suffocating when he looked at it, which made people shudder.

Someone boldly said: "He..... He Da people, it's not that we don't want to attack. It's just that we have fewer soldiers and horses. If we enter and then sneak attacks, there will be no return, and there will be fewer soldiers defending the city. Besides, the Uto people are staring at the gate very closely, and they are afraid that they will be shot into a sieve by their arrows before they leave the city. How can they get into their camp at night?"

"Arrow?" He Yan paused, looking at the person who had just spoken, "How many arrows do Utuo people have?"

"A lot." The man replied with a grimace. "In fact, when the Utopians first came, we fought against them at the city gate. But then we had very few arrows, but their arrows There were a lot of them. Someone used to lie in ambush and assassinate their generals. They didn’t expect to leave the gate of the city. Before sneaking in, they were pierced by arrows. Those Utuo cut off his head and hung him in the city. Make fun on the branches outside." At this point, everyone in the room was stunned.

Such a provocation is really unbearable.

"You mean, we have few arrows, but they have many arrows?" He Yan asked.

The other party nodded.

He Yan looked at Li Kuang again, "If we lead the Utopians to the gate of the city during a sneak attack, and prepare to ambush the archers on the tower, how many Utopians can be killed?"

"A few thousand to ten thousand." Li Kuang replied, "But we don't have so many arrows."

"We have."

Everyone was taken aback.

"Let those Utopians come and cast arrows for us." The young man smiled, his eyes are amazingly bright, and for a moment, Li Kuang thought of another person. He didn't see the face under the mask back then, only remembered those eyes, just like the eyes in front of him, confident and calm, and under the chaos and bad conditions, he can beat the miracle of the encirclement.

With him, the military will be stable and will never give up.

"What are you going to do?" He regained his senses and asked.

"I need to summon all the craftsmen and women in the city to make a straw man for me."

……

It was late at night. In the wilderness outside the city gate, thousands of tents stood quietly. From a distance, the wilderness seemed to have become endless hills with amazing momentum.

The soldiers on patrol were walking around.

Huyat--the Utuo leader who led the attack on Rundu this time, was carrying the wine jar and pouring wine into the bowl. The wine is fragrant, he slapped his stomach, patted his stomach, and smacked his mouth: "This is the wine made by people in Rundu? How is it different from sweet water? It's just a woman's preference. Everyone likes to drink this. , It’s no wonder that I was so weak and timid that I was chopped to pieces with a single knife!"

The cronies said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, Dawei's wine, how can it compare to Uto's spirits!"

Huyat laughed loudly and said, "Go to the captives and pick some women over!"

The people in Rundu are now closing the gates of the city tightly, but when they are stationed here, there are still many people who linger outside the city. Including the nearby Zhuangzi, Uto soldiers wiped out these Zhuangzi, the woman stayed behind, and all the others were killed, not even the children. These wines were also snatched from the village, and the people had no power to bind the chickens, and it was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables to destroy the whole village.

Utuo people both envy and despise Dawei people. They envied the people of Wei who had gorgeous silks, exquisite porcelain, a large area and a large population, and beautiful tall houses. And they live in the desert, beside the grassland, there is only the whistling wind, nothing.

They look down on the Wei people's weakness and timidity, and they don't even have the ability to protect themselves. Guarding the so-called "benevolent government", waiting for others to invade. An unguarded piece of fat will always attract all kinds of eyes. The Utuo had been silent for many years, and finally couldn't help it.

"We have been waiting here for a month," one of his confidants said: "He Rufei still hasn't come. As the Lord said, He Rufei will not come again."

Huyat laughed: "That's great!"

Da Wei emphasized literature and despised martial arts. Over the years, many generals have been produced, but the most feared ones are General Feihong and General Fengyun. The idiot of Macha, relied on being the cousin of the country lord, and volunteered to take Jiyang, but he did not expect to bump into Xiao Huaijin. He was unlucky, but it was a pity that the 150,000 army was completely wiped out in Uto, and Uto's vitality was greatly injured.

He is not Marcha. Since he chose Rundu, he must be sure of it.

"Da Wei had a saying, what it is called, "The red dust across the bank is as busy as fire, when Xuanqingzhang is as cold as ice." What we are doing now is to'watch the fire across the bank. There will be other weaknesses. Using power and beauty is nothing more than that."

"Sometimes I really don’t understand Dawei people," Huyart’s face was full of real confusion, "Why do they always like to kill each other? If there are people like Xiao Huaijin and He Rufei, in We Utopia, the country lord will inevitably offer the best preferential treatment. They will become Utopia’s two most profitable swords. With them, the world will be in the bag. But the big Wei people don’t see such a good general. Once someone To rise, they must be stepped into the mud. However, this is just right. If Xiao Huaijin and He Rufei are really invulnerable, for us Utuo, it will be a disaster."

The cronies also said: "Yes, this is just right. Thanks to the master’s years of planning, he made the fire bigger and bigger. Now we don’t need us, they are helping Uto fight. They are their own people."

Laughter came from the tent. At this time, the Utuo soldiers who had just left brought back a few big Wei women. They were all captured from nearby Zhuangzi. These women were young and pretty, and shivered as soon as they came in.

Huya has a cruel temperament, and there are not a few women who have been tortured to death by him.

He grinned and grabbed a woman next to him. Before he moved, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn outside. Everyone was taken aback.

"What's the matter?"

"Someone is coming out of town!"

The camp suddenly became chaotic. Huyat lost the interest to continue. He pushed the woman away, stood up and walked out. A Uto soldier hurried forward to report: "General, someone is coming from outside the city gate. Down the tower!"

"What?" Huyat was shocked.

Those people in Rundu are as timid as a mouse, they only dare to hide in the city and dare not speak out. He tried to attack him once before, but before he got down, he was shot as a hedgehog by their Uto. Now dare to come again? This was somewhat unexpected by Huyat. It stands to reason that those people in Rundu shouldn't be like this.

Could it be that you have reached the point where the mountains are exhausted and you have decided to fight to the death? Huyat strode out into the wilderness, "Go, go and see!"

Outside the dark tower, hundreds of ropes were seen hanging down, and it seemed that one by one people descended from the tower. From a distance, there are still a lot of people.

"Are these people crazy?" A Utopian asked: "What is this not here to die?"

"There is a kind of dog badger in Utuo, who is as timid as a mouse. It is said that if you encounter a hunter, not only can you not run, but you will also take the initiative to join the hunter's arrow. I think these Rundu people are like this. I'm broken, I can't tell the difference between the south, east, and the north!"

"The prey delivered to the door, is there any reason not to hunt?" Huyat was also proud of his heart. Before the battle was fought, these Rundu people were scared out of their courage, which shows that his Utopian army is powerful. Immediately he said: "Get the archer ready! Just practice a precise head. I didn't enjoy it last time. You can practice archery this time. Such a good target will not be much in the future!"

The Uto archers immediately went to prepare.

The arrows rushed towards the people on the ropes of the tower, but after a short while, they saw that those people were shot as hedgehogs, with countless arrows hitting one person. The people in Rundu seemed to realize this, and quickly put away those ropes and replaced them with new ones.

Huyat was happy: "I think they are really crazy."

"It's called... what they said, the courage of a man!" The cronies racked their brains and came up with a word.

"What the bravery of a man, I think it is the stupidity of a man!" Huyat laughed loudly, and ordered loudly, "The next batch of archers, get ready!"

Upstairs, ropes are constantly being hoisted up, and every rope helps a lot of "people". These people are filled with arrows on their chests and backs. When they are picked up, there are no human shapes. It's an archery target alive, and it looks creepy. But if you look closely, you will find that these are straw men made of straw, put on black clothes, and under the shroud of night, they are no different from real people.

Mai said excitedly: "Many arrows, many arrows, Brother Ahe, we are rich!"

"Make a fortune," Wang Ba is lacking in interest, "These are not silver and cannot be eaten."

Li Kuang on one side looked very excited, almost tears in his eyes. They have no arrows. They can only be crushed and beaten by those Utopians. They dare not even show up on the tower during the day. Those sentries who patrol the tower will be sacrificed by arrows every day. But there were not enough bows and arrows to fight back.

And now there is.

This group of grass men in black brought out countless arrows, and He Yan let a group go down. Before the Utuo found out, they could gain a lot. What a miracle is this? This is a business without capital!

In the daytime, He Yan asked Li Kuang to gather all the artisans and women in the city to rush to make grass men. As soon as the people heard that it was to deal with the Utopians, even the children participated in it, but in one day they rushed out a lot of them. He Yan asked Li Kuang to borrow a lot of black clothes worn by ordinary people, and put them neatly on the grass.

When he first proposed this plan, Li Kuang was still skeptical. Are utopians really so stupid? Will they really send arrows honestly?

The current scene has confirmed his doubts, Uto is really so stupid.

He looked at the young man standing on the tower, admiring him, no matter what the future of Rundu is in the future, at least the grass man tonight can use the arrow to let Rundu resist for some time. Li Kuang walked up to He Yan and said: "Brother He is a brilliant calculation, Li is ashamed."

He Yan glanced at him sideways, and the wind blew the broken hair in the young man’s ears, and he smiled indifferently: “It’s just a fluke. These Utuo people think that there are so many people, they are proud of them, and they are very proud of Rundu. I am bound to win, seeing the grass man, I will not think of other profound meanings."

"The Uto people think that we have nothing, no foreign aid, no weapons, no men and women, so we will give him a turnaround and surprise him."

"What if we fail?"

Juvenile Road: "Then think of other ways, there is always one way in the world."

Li Kuang couldn't speak, he always felt that this boy felt familiar to him. He shook his head and put aside the absurd thoughts in his mind. The only reason was why these thoughts appeared, but it was because the situation today is very similar to that of the past, and even more difficult.

Tonight is just the beginning.

He Yan looked down at the tower and in the wilderness in the distance. The starlight was faintly visible. It was the camp where the Utuo people were stationed.

If nothing is shown, it's ridiculous. It is not long and easy to feel, so nothing can be lost forever. To produce something out of nothing, then from false to real, from imaginary to real. You can defeat the enemy without fail, and you will lose the enemy when you live.

He Yan himself was very puzzled when he read this paragraph in the book of war. Looking for Liu Buwang with the book of war, Liu Buwang just said: "'Nothing' is false, and the purpose is to cover up the'true'. If you want to succeed in'making something out of nothing', you have to master the other party's psychology. This is The highest level of wit among generals."

He Yan fought against the Utuo three times, and every general of the Utuo was arrogant and arrogant deep in his heart. Perhaps it has something to do with their country's advocacy of strong force, thinking that if you have a warrior, you have everything, but forgot that the arrogant soldier will be defeated.

She looked at the steady flow of arrows, with a smile on her lips: "Change another batch."

……

The arrow flew in the direction of Rundu City Gate, aggressively.

"What's the matter with Rundu people, aren't they afraid? How many people have been changed?" A Uto soldier asked.

Huyat was also a little suspicious, these people from Rundu... it was like a steady stream of people coming to die. It has been several hours, are they going to fold all the soldiers and horses of Rundu here?

The sky is already bright, and they have been shooting arrows here all night.

A bird flew across the sky, landed on a branch, chirping, breaking the silence around it. That is, Huyat suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "You put arrows all night, have you ever heard those people scream?"

Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads.

It's quiet, it's too quiet. They shot so many arrows, those people in Rundu died miserably, but they didn't even scream? Why is this? Are you afraid of the screams being heard by the people in the city panic, or are you afraid of affecting morale? If so, it's okay, if it's for other reasons... a trace of anxiety passed through his heart.

"Stop!" Huyat shouted: "Stop archery now!"

The Uto stopped his movements and waited for Huyat's next order.

Arrow stopped at the same time, and He Yan, who was sitting on the tower, yawned, and shook his head regretfully: "Oh, I was found."

Li Kuang was already very satisfied. They had harvested at least 100,000 arrows this night. This is faster and less laborious than craftsman forging. The soldiers at the head of the city pulled up the last scarecrow that was filled with ropes, rubbed his sore wrist, and asked He Yan back: "My lord, do I need to let the straw man down again?"

"Let it go." He Yan said: "Put a clean one and show them clearly."

Li Kuang was startled: "Brother He, isn't this letting the Utuo know our details, and it will be difficult to cheat arrows in the future."

He Yan smiled and said, "Master Li, I was not for the purpose of borrowing arrows. After this night, the Utuo has already discovered something wrong and can't help it."

"Bullied us for so long, now, **** them off!"

The first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and cast into the wilderness, illuminating the vermilion tower of Rundu.

Outside the city gate, there was a figure hanging quietly. The figure was hanging in the air, shaking, blurry at first, and then gradually became clear and distinct in the sun, falling in the eyes of the Utuo in the distance.

A...a straw man in black.

"Fuck!" Huyat was furious.
