Li Zhao didn't know the progress of Shi Ai's side, and he was not in the mood to think about the affairs of Shu at present, and Zhao Wujun had been under a lot of pressure recently.

Yang Xu attacked like crazy every day, even if the Qi army suffered heavy casualties, he had no intention of stopping. Although the Zhaowu army struggled to resist, due to the disadvantage of troops, most of the trenches in the outer positions had been filled, and the rest was estimated to not last long.

Shen Tian learned from Wei Hongyang that Feng Yunsong was defeated and Chengdu was besieged. Worried about the loss of Shudi, he was anxious like fire, and in recent days, he has frequently urged Yang Xu to strengthen the offensive.

Wei Hongyang had previously advised Shen Tian to give up attacking Li Zhao, and the whole army would retreat into Jianmen Pass and eliminate Shi Ai first. After all, the huge Shu land and the importance of aligning the country are far from being comparable to Hanzhong.

During the siege of Li Zhao by the Qi army during this period, no Zhaowu army came to support it, nor did any grain and grass be transported to the Zhaowu army camp. This made Shen Tian even more convinced that as long as he broke through the camp of the Zhaowu army, Li Zhao would definitely be defeated.

Shen Tian thought for a long time and decided to eliminate Li Zhao first. Anyway, the Jianmen Pass is still in the hands of Wei Hongyang, and the Qi army in Hanzhong can enter Shu at any time through the Jianmen. As soon as Li Zhao died, the Zhaowu army in Shu would not be worried.

In front of the Zhaowu Army's position, looking from a distance, there were dead soldiers on both sides everywhere, and many corpses had already decomposed. Once the wind blows, the air smells so thick that I want to vomit.

Shen Ning thought that people wanted to be buried in the ground, and once wanted to bring back the bodies of the sacrificed soldiers to be buried. But in the process, he was hindered by the archers of the Qi army, and finally failed.

At this critical moment, Fan Shuo finally dug the tunnel, Li Zhao breathed a long sigh of relief, if he didn't dig it through, he would really die.

The defense of the periphery of the camp was mainly in charge of Shen Ning. Shen Ning has been able to hold on until now, and he has almost reached the limit. He told Li Zhao that according to the current attack of the Qi army, the camp could only hold for three days at most.

Li Zhaozheng was about to send someone to contact Qi Jingyun and Liu Haoyan, and agreed to come here in three days to fight to the death with the Qi army.

Fan Shuo suggested that the decisive battle should be advanced a day earlier, Li Zhao was puzzled and asked why.

Fan Shuo thinks that the weather has been bad recently, and there is a possibility of rain. Due to the rush of time, some areas in the tunnel still need to be improved. If it rains, there is a possibility that water may seep into the tunnel, and it will not be usable.

Li Zhao's face turned dark, and he was speechless in his heart. It took so much time, energy, and so many young people to dig day and night, and finally dug through the tunnel, and it turned out to be a tofu scum project. He was most worried now about whether the tunnels would suddenly collapse when the soldiers passed inside.

Liu Haoyan's headquarters is fifteen miles away, and he can rush over at any time. The problem is Qi Jingyun's department, the distance between the two is farther, and it has to avoid the surveillance of the Qi army, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, in case he does not arrive in time, the Zhaowu army's counterattack plan will be completely ruined.

"Immediately send someone to inform Qi Jingyun and Liu Haoyan that when the ugly time (one o'clock) tomorrow night, you must rush to my side on time to jointly exterminate Yang Xu. Li Zhao said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the scout received the order and quickly left.

Yang Zhi was not very relieved in his heart, "General Qi's side is a little far away, is it a little hasty?"

"I can't do it anymore, if it does rain, we will all be trapped here." Even if Qi Jingyun loses his legs, he has to rush here for me. Li Zhao said decisively.

Song Jun said: "There are still thousands of Zhaowu troops in Nanzheng City, and the last general thinks that he can let General Wang bring them all."

Li Zhao hesitated and did not agree to Song Jun's suggestion. Nan Zheng is too important to allow a little slip up. And there were a large number of Qi army scouts outside the city, and Wang Yankai was easy to find out when he went out of the city.

The scout entered Qi Jingyun's camp through a secret passage, unlike Li Zhao's tofu slag project, Qi Jingyun's tunnel was built for a long time, and the interior was long and wide, so he never worried about water seepage.

After receiving Li Zhao's order, and learning that the tunnel on Li Zhao's side was finally dug through, Qi Jingyun and Chen Zhe were both happy in their hearts, and their hanging hearts were finally put down.

Since the Qi army focused on besieging Li Zhao, Qi Jingyun, Wang Yankai and others have been worried. Their future is all pinned on Li Zhao's body, if Li Zhao encounters an accident, they don't want to be prosperous and rich, and it is not certain whether they can survive or not.

Qi Jingyun wanted to support Li Zhao more than once, but Li Zhao refused, allowing him to hold his position with peace of mind and continue to monitor Jianmen Pass.

He was also worried that the Qi army would suddenly send troops from Jianmen to Hanzhong, but after the war had been going on for so long, there was no movement at all at Jianmen Pass, and not a single soldier had come out. Objectively speaking, the Shu Qi army did not send troops to Hanzhong, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Zhaowu army in Hanzhong. Due to the lack of troops, Shen Tian did not attack Nanzheng, and could only be forced to storm Li Zhao's camp.

According to Chen Zhe's guess, it should be Shi Ai who entered Shu and successfully contained the Shu Qi army. Chen Ran was forced by Shi Ai's threat, so he did not dare to send troops to Hanzhong.

Qi Jingyun agreed with Chen Zhe's opinion, only in this way can it be explained that the Qi army in Shu had no movement. The two couldn't help but sigh that after the end of the battle with Shen Tian, Shi Ai, who was not in Hanzhong, may be the first hero of this battle.

In order to shorten the time to Li Zhao, Qi Jingyun let some of the soldiers enter the tunnel in advance, ready to set off at any time. At the end of the tunnel, there were no Qi army scouts watching, and Qi Jingyun was not worried that he would be discovered when he set off.

At dawn the next day, Yang Xu once again started a day of crazy fighting. The Qi army besieged on all sides, pushing and filling in the trenches while advancing forward. Shen Ning sent spearmen and crossbowmen to desperately stop the Qi army.

This trench attack and defense battle has been going on for so many days, and both sides have long been familiar with the tactics of the enemy forces on the opposite side. At first, the casualties of the Qi army were far higher than those of the Zhaowu army, but as Yang Xu improved his tactics and tactics every day, and the Qi army continued to advance, the situation was very bad for the Zhaowu army. A large number of bed crossbows and stone-throwing carts of the Qi army have been able to attack the camp of the Zhaowu army in the rear. Now the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army must be careful of the heavens even when eating.

Li Zhao was once resting in the tent when a boulder suddenly hit the corner of the tent. Frightened, everyone hurriedly urged the craftsmen to urgently build a simple wooden house for Li Zhao. And arrange for the soldiers to take turns to patrol the side, and then a big stone flies.

It was getting dark, and the exhausted Qi army began to slowly retreat.

Li Zhao was even more nervous, he saw a dazzling white light, which pierced the night sky in the distance in an instant.

Damn God, it hasn't rained for so many days, so I won't choose tonight.

In order to prevent being discovered by the Qi army scouts, Qi Jingyun would only lead his troops to arrive when it was dark. When it rains, the ground becomes muddy, which will inevitably affect the speed of the march.

Li Zhao had a bad premonition in his heart, there were no stars in the night sky tonight, and there was no light of the moon.
