The sun is scorching and the blood is empty.

Countless bones, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

The setting sun is like blood, and broken flags are everywhere.

The sky is raging with flames of war, and the flames of war are raging.

As the multi-day battle against Qishan continued, both Cao's army and the various defenders suffered extremely heavy casualties.

Broken Flag, Corpse Mountain Rainforest.

The cruel battlefield has become a meat grinder.

At Qishan Village, every surviving defender was covered in blood, like a bloody man.

She was panting even more, obviously she had lost too much energy.

This is also due to the fact that Zhang He has intensified his efforts in recent days to attack Qishan and attack the city at all costs, which almost leaves the Han army no extra resting time.

Every soldier is gritting his teeth and fighting hard.

Even the commander-in-chief Zhao Tong no longer had the high-spirited and heroic image he had before. Instead, his hair was disheveled and countless blood stains were stained on his armor and complexion.

Even so, every time after the war, he and his personal guards would visit various villages to express their condolences to the injured soldiers!

Let all the soldiers in the army realize his humanistic care.

This is exactly the case, even though Cao Jun had spared no effort to attack Qishan.

However, the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Han army was still high and there was no degradation in the slightest.

"The enemy...the enemy is coming up again, prepare to meet the enemy!"

"General, the enemy has started a new round of offensive."

Following another loud shout, Commander Zhao quickly returned to the main camp to take command of the situation without taking any rest.

A new round of battle is coming again!

Even though Zhao Tong was covered in blood, he was still stationed on the front line with a green sword that was as sharp as clay. This also inspired the Han soldiers who had already reached their limit and their fighting spirit continued.

All the Han armies fought bloody battles to the death.

Even though Cao Jun was not afraid of the death-like attack, Qishan still showed no sign of being lost.

As dusk approaches, the sun sets.

Another day of hard work came to an end.

In the evening of that day, the generals of Cao's army who had been attacking the city for a day had no time to rest and lose their fatigue, so they were summoned by Zhang He to the military tent to discuss the military affairs.

"Our army has been attacking Qishan continuously for more than ten days now. The enemy's fighting spirit is much stronger than we imagined."

"I thought we couldn't continue the attack like this, otherwise even if we break Qishan Mountain, the losses would be too great."

As soon as Zhang He said this, all the generals couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Ah? General, now the enemy has become a tired army. The general feels that as long as our army continues to increase the firepower, the enemy army will collapse!"

"To suddenly cancel the offensive at this time will give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

"Without breaking the Qishan Mountains, our army will not be able to enter the Wudu Plain, and it will be difficult to control the overall situation and respond to the King of Wei who is marching south to Hanzhong."

"Or is it that General Zhang has other plans?"

After a few words, each of the generals put forward their own opinions.

"Of course!"

After hearing the words of the generals, Zhang He responded calmly, and then said, "The villages in Qishan Mountain are built close to the mountains, and the terrain is difficult."

"Although our army has a large number of troops, it cannot deploy it and can only launch an offensive in steps."

"On the siege side, the disadvantages are too great!"

Having said that, there was a hint of respect in his words at this time, and he continued, "Besides, Commander Zhao is indeed very skilled. It may not be that easy for our army to attack Qishan Mountain by force."

"Therefore, I have been thinking about a strategy for nearly two days, which may cause internal chaos in Wudu."

"When Zhao Tong has no time to take care of it, it may be a good opportunity for our army to defeat Qishan."

"Hmm? General Zhang, what's the best plan?"

As soon as these words came out, Sima Guo Huai from the side took the lead and asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang He briefly conveyed his new plan to the generals in a few words.

All the generals are relieved!

If that's the case, there's nothing wrong with delaying the offensive.

"General Zhang has such a good plan. If you think about it, Zhao Tong will definitely be at his wits' end and will be captured by our army!"

"That's true. After Qishan is defeated and Zhao Tong is captured, I want to see what kind of abilities this man has at such a young age."

…

As Cao camp decided on a new strategy.

Starting from the next day, Cao Jun's offensive inexplicably slowed down a lot.

This also surprised the guards in various villages in Qishan Mountain.

"Huh? What's going on? Why is Cao Jun's offensive so sparse today?"

"Isn't this some kind of trick?"

"Yes! In the past ten days, Cao's soldiers attacked like crazy dogs. Why did they launch a tentative offensive today?"

"How evil!"

The Han soldiers in each camp first noticed something unusual and gathered together to discuss it.

The news soon reached Zhao Tong's office.

Liu Yin, Zhang Yi and other generals raised their hands and said separately, "General, what is Zhang He doing? Why did he suddenly suspend the offensive?"

"Yes! As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong!"

"Our officers and men are already at the end of their battle, and the physical strength of the soldiers in each department has reached their limit. Logically speaking, Cao's army should take advantage of the situation to attack and not give us a chance to breathe."

"What kind of operation is this?"

Even Huo Yi, the personal guard on one side, felt deeply puzzled.

After hearing this, Zhao Tong naturally frowned and was confused. He was also thinking deeply about Zhang He's intention.

For a moment, I had no thoughts.

After pondering for a while, he had no choice but to go ahead and comfort the generals, "As the old saying goes: when soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the earth will cover them."

"Qishan Mountain is the only way to connect Longyou. If the main force of Cao's army wants to march into the hinterland of Wudu, it cannot go around it."

"We just need to be careful not to lose Qishan, and we can just sit back and watch what happens!"

Just one word.

The generals could not figure out the enemy general's intentions for a while, so they could only accept their orders with amusement.

Next, Qishan Mountain seemed to have returned to its former tranquility!

The main force of Cao's army just besieged the surrounding areas and blocked all key points.

The defense of each village in Qishan is still on heightened alert.

The Han army was also deeply afraid that Cao Bing would suddenly take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

The two sides were confronting each other.

After a stalemate for several more days, a letter came from Ma Su, a soldier in charge of the governor's affairs, and the Qishan battlefield, which had been silent for a long time, took on new changes.

"What?"

"Cao Xiu's troops stationed in Chencang are leading their troops in the east direction of our military capital, trying to wait for an opportunity to attack Xia Bian?"

"That's it! Old thief Zhang He is indeed extremely cunning."

"No wonder he suddenly suspended his offensive. It turned out that he was using the main force to hold us back, and then ordered Cao Xiu to attack our flank."

"Yes! This is not the most important thing. I heard that Zhang He also sent Guo Huai to lead his troops along the west to assist Fei Yao's troops in attacking Lintao."

"The pressure faced by DXN at this time is quite big!"

"What should we do? Our army is now in a dilemma of insufficient troops, but there are many places to defend. Is the enemy taking advantage of our army's weakness and adopting a multi-line offensive strategy?"

Suddenly, after the generals and commanders heard the military information coming from the rear announced by Zhao Tong, everyone's expressions changed almost immediately, and they all started to cluck their hands with worried expressions on their faces.

Even Zhang Yi and Huo Yi, who have always been relatively calm, are a little impatient!

"General, the enemy is attacking like this, how should our army respond?"

One word.

Zhao Tong's face was gloomy and he seemed to have been silent for a long time. Then he looked directly at the generals and said, "I am not worried about Lintao. With the ability of virtue and trust, it is not difficult to guard Lintao and Qiang Road."
Chapter completed!
