Gao Shun ran around last night and led his soldiers to put out the fire that lasted all night. As a result, the food and grass were still burned to pieces, and he felt angry in his heart.
Just at this moment, a soldier suddenly ran in from outside the barracks, with a hurried expression and evasive eyes, as if he was hiding something unspeakable.
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?!"
"General...general..." The soldier hesitated, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Gao Shun felt furious in his heart. He felt as if a big hand was strangling his throat. Even if he had one of the best cavalry in the world, he couldn't break free.
This feeling of being played in the palm of his hand made his patience almost gone.
The soldier seemed to feel Gao Shun's anger, and then said timidly: "General Qi, the defender of Xiaopei placed a couch on the city wall, and then the defender actually... actually hugged the lord's daughter on the city wall.
In my arms, in public..."
"Public humiliation!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Gao Shun raised his finger angrily, pulled out the sword from his waist, and slashed at the table.
"Shu Zi Dare you!"
In just an instant, the originally solid table was split into two. Such a powerful momentum made the soldiers who came to report were frightened into silence.
Gao Shun has always been steady, but now he is really angry. Scholars cannot be killed without humiliation. Although the war is life and death, it will not bring harm to the family. This garrison is so shameless!
"Instruct all officers and men to prepare for war!!"
"only!"
...
An hour later.
The soldiers under Gao Shun's command were disgraced and completed their formation outside Xiaopei City. However, at this time, everyone looked depressed, their eyes were distracted, and they had no fighting spirit.
After a battle last night, there are only more than 300 soldiers and auxiliary soldiers left in the trapped camp. There are still 1,800 auxiliary soldiers left. Not counting those who are seriously injured and need to be treated, there are soldiers and horses who can continue to fight.
, the number is only one thousand two hundred, even if it is full.
Before even seeing the shadow of the enemy, more than half of the casualties were already suffered, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers trapped in the camp.
Although everyone didn't say anything, they were a little afraid of Xiaopei's defenders, that is, the soldiers of the Three Hundred Traps camp at the front. Their eyes were still sharp and their expressions were as usual.
Gao Shun, with his troops capable of fighting, took the lead and came to a place three arrows away from Xiaopei City and stood there, looking at Xiaopei City coldly.
At this time, the South City Gate was the same as the previous few days. The city gate was wide open, and there were still a few people cleaning the door as if no one was around.
Gao Shun looked up along the city gate and found that just as his men reported, the enemy thief was lying on the couch with his lord's daughter in his arms.
It didn't matter if he moved his hands or feet, it was even more difficult to speak. Even though he was so far away, he could still hear the lustful sound of silk and bamboo on the city wall.
Shameless!
Obscene!
This scene on the city wall was also clearly displayed in front of the soldiers trapped in the camp.
Seeing this, everyone's faces turned red, their eyes were split, and they all shouted to avenge their lord. The morale that had been low due to the defeat last night actually increased at this time.
I saw a general standing up from behind Gao Shun, clasping his fists towards Gao Shun and saying, "General, if you give me a certain army, I will definitely defeat Xiaopei and avenge my lord!"
"I would like to issue a military order. If I cannot take this city, please behead me!"
Looking at the unsightly scenes on the city wall, Gao Shun closed his eyes and raised his hand to stop the deputy general from asking for a fight.
Just as Lin Zhe expected, although Gao Shun was filled with anger, he suppressed it forcefully.
Because...he didn't dare to throw all his soldiers into the attack!
Gao Shun admitted that he did underestimate the capabilities of Xiaopei's defenders at first.
In his opinion, except for Guan and Zhang, there was no one under Liu Bei who was good at fighting, let alone a good strategist, so he sent 800 people to test Xiaopei's strength.
Although he successfully tested it out, what he never expected was that Xiaopei, who clearly had no strength in the city, would dare to take the initiative to attack at night!
The people who defend the city are by no means ordinary people!
Who is he?!
It was this preconceived concept that made Gao Shun dare not easily invest the remaining troops in siege.
He was worried that this was a strategy of the city defenders, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, deliberately showing himself weak so that he could take this opportunity to eat up his trapped camp!
You must not fall into the trap!
Thinking of this, Gao Shun shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Go down and order the soldiers to camp where they are. No one is allowed to move without my order!"
After that, he quickly sent a group of scouts to report the situation here exactly to Lu Bu, and asked his lord to make a decision.
In addition, he also sent messengers to ask for help from Zhang Liao who was stationed in Pengcheng. He did not dare to gamble without knowing whether Xiaopei was real or not.
...
...
Seeing the tall soldiers and horses retreating slowly under the city wall, Lin Zhe, who was holding Lu Lingqi, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Although in the eyes of others, Lin Zhe seemed calm and composed, with not only fine wine in his mouth but also a beautiful woman in his arms, only Lin Zhe himself knew how risky his move was. At this time, his back was covered
Full of sweat.
Lu Lingqi could also feel Lin Zhe's nervousness. Her back was pressed tightly against Lin Zhe's chest, and the sweat on Lin Zhe's body even soaked through her clothes.
It wasn't until Gao Shun's army disappeared from his sight that Lin Zhe sat up, rubbed his sore shoulders, and spoke to Lu Lingqi underneath him.
"You lose!"
"Come here, prepare pen and ink!"
After his soldiers brought the pen and ink, Lin Zhe also ordered someone to untie the rope from Lu Lingqi's hand, then inadvertently took a few steps back and stood beside the guard.
When Lu Lingqi finished writing, Lin Zhe looked at the beautiful handwriting in his hand and couldn't help but feel secretly happy, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although Lu Lingqi was very nervous, she keenly noticed something was wrong with Lin Zhe.
For no other reason...
Lin Zhe's smile is so evil!
"Little thief, tell me honestly, what on earth do you want me to write this letter for? Do you really want to report that my father is safe?"
Lin Zhe carefully handed the letter in his hand to the guard behind him, and ordered him to hand it to Jian Yong. Then he turned around, smiled at Lu Lingqi, and said, "I'm not lying to you. I'll give this letter to you."
It is indeed to be handed over to your father!"
"???"
Lu Lingqi was a little puzzled. This letter was written by her herself, and she had read the contents, so there was nothing wrong with it.
If Lin Zhe really planned to give this letter to his father as he said, what was his ultimate purpose?
"Return the letter to me, I...I...regret it!" Lu Lingqi started to act rogue.
Lin Zhe was in a good mood at this time, but he was not as knowledgeable as the little girl. Instead, he smiled and said: "Don't you want to know why I wrote this letter?!"
