The sun gradually went down.
Longxi City, darkened, seemed to have fallen into a night dream.
But in the darkness, there are still many pairs of alert eyes open Li Chi didn't know, he only knew that these days, he had been guarding the city wall day and night, relying solely on his belief that he would live and die with Longxi to support him.
From the panic at the beginning to the indifference and numbness now, Li Chi felt that those half-months seemed as long as a hundred years.
Li Chi did not tell anyone about the pressure and hesitation during this period, and kept it firmly in his heart.
But when he accidentally entered the dreamland, he was immediately frightened awake by the nightmare of the afterimage on the battlefield.
He was covered in cold sweat and didn't know how to face it.
But why could the person next to him sleep peacefully in the face of such a formidable enemy?
Moreover, he slept so peacefully and calmly, as if he was enjoying the peace and comfort in his dream with every breath he took.
Li Chi didn't dare to wake up the man, even though the man was only about the same age as him.
But Li Chi knew that that man had gone through too many conquests and killings, and the many halos of glory on his head were enough to make him awe.
However, at this moment, Li Chi saw a fire suddenly bursting out from the horizon in the distance.
The flames burned the sky and the grassy fields, as if they were going to burn up Longxi City.
When the torches all over the sky came like a rolling wave of fire, Li Chi hesitated whether he should wake up Ma Chao.
Perhaps stimulated by the fire, Ma Chao had opened his eyes slightly.
He got up and quickly ran to the top of the city to take a look.
He thought for a moment and then relaxed.
When he came back, he lay down behind the battlements again.
But Li Chi couldn't help it anymore.
He bravely said to Ma Chao: "General, the enemy is coming so blatantly, and it is obvious that they are going to attack in a large scale.
But why don't you seem to have seen it?
Not only did you not take command, My subordinates are on guard, but they still have to sleep soundly."
"They won't attack the city tonight."
Ma Chao muttered a few words, then arched his head as if to find a more comfortable position.
"The army is in danger and the battle is fierce.
The attack and defense can change instantly.
Now that the enemy is coming, even if there is a possibility of setting up camp, we can't take it lightly."
Seeing Ma Chao's nonchalant look, Li Chi really felt that Ma Chao was a little weird, and couldn't help but say again: "General "The general is not sleepy yet.
If the general can trust me, then let me set up my defense first."
After being persuaded twice by Li Chi, Ma Chao seemed to have lost his sleepiness.
He took a careful look at Li Chi and then said: "If I remember correctly, you are the son of Li Xiangru, the governor of Longxi whom I just appointed.
Your surname is Li, your given name is Chi, and your courtesy name is Liaoyuan, after Han Fei General Li Guang."
Li Chi, who stood in front of Ma Chao, was the young general who led his troops to burn them into Gongying's siege equipment a few days ago.
Ma Chao had some vague impression of him.
Li Xiangru was the prefect of Longxi before Jiang Ji, and he also killed Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, with Han Sui and Ma Teng, so he had a close relationship with Ma Chao.
In addition, Li Chi has a strong body, extraordinary martial arts skills, and is a general.
Ma Chao feels that after several rounds of blood and fire, this person can be another young general of the Ma family.
From this, 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: "Liao Yuan, can you use these torches to estimate the size of the enemy?"
"When marching at night, each person holding a torch is enough.
And judging from this number, the enemy army will probably not be less than 100,000 people."
After Jiang Jiong was killed, Li Xiangru became old and frail.
Li Chi had been guarding the city for half a month and had already learned some war tactics.
"Yeah, not bad."
Ma Chao nodded slightly and was about to say more.

Suddenly, I saw the enemy's sniper charge below the city, the rumble of horse hooves and the roar of shouts, as if the sky and the earth were suddenly lifted open in this night.
It is like the roaring of the sea by the strong wind, or the roaring of the forest by the heavy rain.
The entire ground in Longxi City seemed to be shaking slightly under the enemy's charge.
The horses' hooves getting closer and closer seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, making people couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"The enemy is about to attack the city."
Upon seeing this, Li Chi couldn't help but change his face.
He panicked and said to Ma Chao: "General, please give an order quickly to have the last general come out of the city to fight.
Otherwise, if the enemy makes a big move and becomes as powerful as a tiger, Longxi County will be in danger." " Ma Chao was silent at this time, standing like an iron sculpture at the top of the city.
And the disdain at the corner of his mouth is the finishing touch of the iron sculpture: that disdain is sarcasm, a sneer, and the contempt from the bottom of his heart that has seen through the enemy's tricks.
"I said that the enemy will not attack the city."
Tie Diao finally spoke, but after speaking, he was still bored.
After seeing the anxious look on Li Chi's face, he actually pulled Li Chi to lie back on the battlement and said, "Let's 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 pull.
Just when he was about to fight, he saw that every personal guard around Ma Chao was lying behind the battlements, as if he had not heard the shouts outside the city. , fell asleep peacefully.
"Penetrate Longxi and kill Ma Chao."
The enemy's roar gradually became clearer.
After Li Chi heard the shouts of the enemy troops below the city clearly, his face couldn't help but become more anxious.
After taking another look at Ma Chao who was indifferent, he said angrily: "Since the general doesn't care about the life and death of the people in Longxi, then the general will have the courage to join the battle."
After saying this, 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, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, turned sideways, raised his foot, tripped Li Chi to the ground, and muttered: "The enemy has just arrived and attacked the city before setting up camp.
If you were the general, You will be like this" 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 but be stunned.
"I am in the city and have an advantageous position.
The enemy's tricks cannot be used, so the only way is to attack the city.
But if you rush in at night, you can use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points, and you can start a prairie fire."
"Shadow intelligence shows that the enemy army only has 60,000 people, but there are more than 100,000 torches at this time.
Isn't it a trick to make such a noise?"
After Ma Chao finished speaking, each 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 what Ma Chao said is indeed true.
Unless the enemy general is a fool, he will never attack the city in such a strange way.
"The general is saying that the enemy's plan is just a bluff.
Firstly, it will shake the morale of the Longxi defenders, and secondly, it will prepare enough time for the enemy to set up camp."
After carefully thinking about Ma Chao's meaning, Li Chichi asked.
"Of course, it's also possible that it's to build momentum for their arrangements later in the night."
Ma Chao then turned over again and said confusedly: "The enemy has been attacking Longxi County for more than half a month, and every time it was a feint attack.
I really can't think of it. , What reason does he have not to take advantage of this half month to sneak spies into Longxi?"
"This is impossible."
Li Chi heard Ma Chao questioning Longxi County's detailed plans and refused without thinking.
But although he said it absolutely, deep down in his heart, before Ma Chao's casual and indecent sleeping state, he gradually became relaxed.
"Maybe, maybe I'm paranoid, but it's quite fun to hunt rabbits in the middle of the night."
Ma Chao was too lazy to argue with Li Chi, because in the middle of the night, all he had to do was make things out of nothing.
It’s good to have some careful work, so I’ll cook it all together.
Without careful preparation, the shadows and the Ma family's personal guards pretended to be enemy troops.

Anyway, they had to do it if there were conditions, and they had to do it even if there were no conditions: Who let Ma play with that thing?
When the Longxi County Sheriff took the oath, he was so sincere.
Yea, it’s almost as good as Ma Chao, the super movie king.
"Ma Wan, please don't disappoint me.
If you are not the best actor, 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 noise in the city gradually subsided.
Li Chi stretched out his head and looked around, vaguely seeing the enemy army, holding two torches on one horse, and retreated dejectedly. s: Thanks again to Mr.
