Chapter 730
The sun is gradually setting down the mountain.

Longxi City darkened, as if sinking into a night dream.But in the darkness, how many alert eyes are still open?

Li Chi didn't know, he only knew that these days, he stood guard on the city wall day and night, supporting himself with the belief that he swore to live and die with Longxi.From the panic at the beginning to the current indifference and numbness, Li Chi felt that those half a month seemed to be as long as a hundred years.

Li Chi didn't tell anyone about the pressure and hesitation during this period, and kept it firmly in his heart.It's just that when he accidentally entered the dream, he would immediately be awakened by the afterimage nightmare on the battlefield.Drenched in cold sweat, he didn't know how to face it.

But why could the person next to him sleep peacefully in such a situation where the enemy was in front of him?Moreover, he slept so peacefully and quietly, every breath, as if he was enjoying the peace and comfort of a dream.

Li Chi didn't dare to wake up that person, even though that person was only about his age.But Li Chi knew that that person had experienced too many conquests and killings, and the many halos of glory on his head were enough to make him stand in awe.

However, at this moment, Li Chi saw a fire bursting out of the sky in the distance. The flame ignited the sky and the grass together, as if it was going to burn Longxi City.When the torches all over the sky were raging like a billowing fire, Li Chi hesitated whether he should wake up Ma Chao.

Perhaps stimulated by the flames, Ma Chao opened his eyes slightly.After getting up and running quickly to the top of the city to have a look, he relaxed after thinking for a moment, and lay down behind the battlements again when he came back.But Li Chi couldn't bear it at this time, and he bravely said to Ma Chao: "General, the enemy is coming so blatantly, it is obvious that they are going to attack on a large scale. But why do you seem to have not seen it? Instead of commanding The subordinates are guarded and guarded, but they still want to sleep soundly?"

"They won't attack the city tonight." Ma Chao muttered a few words, then bowed his head, as if to find a more comfortable position.

"The soldiers are in danger and the battle is fierce, and the offense and defense change instantly. Since the enemy has come, even if it is possible to set up a camp, we must not take it lightly!" Seeing Ma Chao's indifference, Li Chi really felt that Ma Chao was a bit unbelievable, and couldn't help but said again: " General, the last general is not sleepy, if the general can trust me, let me set up the defense first!"

After being persuaded twice by Li Chi, Ma Chao seemed to lose sleepiness.He took a careful look at Li Chi, and then said: "If I remember correctly, you are the son of Li Xiangru, the prefect of Longxi whom I just appointed. Your surname is Li, your name is Chi, and your name is Liaoyuan. You are the successor of Han Flying General Li Guang..."

Li Chi standing in front of Ma Chao was the young general who had led his troops to be burned into Gongying's siege equipment a few days ago. Ma Chao had some impression of him in a daze.And Li Xiangru was the prefect of Longxi before Jiang Jiong, and he also followed Han Sui and Ma Teng to kill Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, so he had a certain affinity with Ma Chao.Coupled with the fact that Li Chi has a strong figure, extraordinary martial arts and a background in the general family, Ma Chao felt that after several times of bloody training, he could become another young general of the Ma family.

Therefore, Ma Chao wanted to test Li Chi's understanding.After standing up, Ma Chao pointed to the densely packed torches outside the city, and asked, "Liaoyuan, can you guess how many enemies there are based on these torches?"

"When marching at night, it is enough for each person to hold a torch. Judging from this number, the enemy army may not be less than 10!" After Jiang Jiong was killed, Li Xiangru became old and frail.And Li Chi has been guarding the city for half a month, and has already learned some tricks of war.

"Well, not bad." Ma Chao nodded slightly, just as he was about to say more.Suddenly, I saw the enemy's sniper charging close to the city, the sound of rumbling horseshoes and roaring shouts, as if the sky and the ground were suddenly opened in this night.It is like a strong wind sweeping the sea and roaring, and like a rainstorm washing away the forest.The ground of the entire Longxi City seemed to be trembling slightly under the enemy's charge, and the approaching horse's hooves seemed to step on the apex of people's hearts, making people tremble with fear.

"The enemy is about to attack the city!" Seeing this, Li Chi's face changed drastically, and he said to Ma Chao in panic, "General, please give the order quickly to let the last general go out of the city to fight, otherwise the enemy will attack like a tiger, and Longxi County will be in danger." Yea!"

Ma Chao remained silent at this moment, standing upright on the top of the city like an iron sculpture.And the contempt at the corner of the mouth is the finishing touch of the iron carving: that kind of contempt is sarcasm, a sneer, and the contempt in his heart that sees through the enemy's tricks!

"I said, the enemy won't attack the city." Tie Diao finally spoke, but after speaking, he was more bored.After seeing Li Chi's anxious expression, he actually dragged Li Chi back to lie behind the battlements: "Sleep peacefully for a while, the second half of the night is the most difficult time..."

"General!..." Li Chi broke free from Ma Chao's grip, and was about to fight, when he saw that every guard around Ma Chao was lying behind the battlements, as if he hadn't heard the battlements. The shouts outside were normal, and he fell asleep peacefully.

"Pacify Longxi, kill Ma Chao!" The roar of the enemy army gradually became clear.

After Li Chi heard the shouts of the enemy troops under the city, his expression became more anxious. After he glanced at the indifferent Ma Chao, he said angrily: "Since the general doesn't care about the lives of the people in Longxi, then the general will boldly invite you to fight! "

After saying that, Li Chi wanted to summon hundreds of soldiers from the Li family to go out of the city to fight the enemy.But Ma Chao seemed to be intentional or unintentional, he turned sideways, raised his foot, tripped Li Chi to the ground, and muttered, "The enemy army has just arrived, and they came to attack the city before setting up camp. If you were a general, You will?"

When Li Chi stood up, the anger in his chest was already overwhelming.But after hearing Ma Chao's muttering, Li Chi couldn't help being taken aback.

"I'm in the city, and I have a good location. The enemy's tricks can't be carried out. The only way is to attack the city. But if you rush in in the dark, use your own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, can Liaoyuan do it?"

"Shadow intelligence, there are only 6 enemy troops, but at this time there are more than [-] torches. Isn't it a tactic to attack the heart?"

After Ma Chao finished his three sentences, every sentence hit Li Chi's heart like a heavy hammer.After listening to Ma Chao's analysis, Li Chi didn't have a valid argument to refute Ma Chao.Because Ma Chao's words are indeed invaluable words, unless the enemy generals are stupid, otherwise, they will never come to attack the city in such a strange way.

"The general is saying that the enemy's strategy is just a bluff. Firstly, to shock the Longxi defenders, and secondly, to prepare enough time for the enemy to set up camp?..." After carefully thinking through what Ma Chao meant, Li Chi hesitated asked.

"Of course, it's also possible that it's to create momentum for their arrangement in the middle of the night." Ma Chao then turned over again, and said in a daze, "The enemy has attacked Longxi County for more than half a month, and every time it was a feint. I really can't think of it." , what reason does he have, not taking advantage of this half a month to sneak into Longxi with spies?"

"That's impossible!" Li Chi refused when he heard Ma Chao's questioning about the secret work in Longxi County.But although the words were absolute, the bottom of my heart gradually loosened before Ma Chao's casual and indecent sleep...

"Maybe, maybe I'm suspicious, but in the middle of the night when I have nothing to do, it's quite interesting..." Ma Chao didn't bother to argue with Li Chi, because what he had to do in the middle of the night was to create something out of nothing!

It's good to have careful work, and I'll cook it together.Without meticulous work, the shadow and Ma's personal guards pretended to be the enemy's secret work. Anyway, if they have the conditions, they must do it, and if they don't have the conditions, they have to do it: whoever let Ma play with that guy, when he swore an oath in Longxi County, it was so sincere Cut, it's almost on par with Ma Chao, the super actor's skill!
"Ma Wan, don't disappoint me. If you're not the film king, then this era is too empty..." Ma Chao muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.After saying this, he fell asleep again.

And Li Chi was not in the mood to listen to Ma Chao's soliloquy.Because, after Ma Chao finished speaking, the drumming and noise under the city really gradually subsided.Li Chi stretched out his head to look, and vaguely saw the enemy army, holding two torches, and retreated dejectedly...
