Chapter 417 This doesn't make sense
Outside the camp, the shouts and cries of killing were deafening, as if they were going to completely tear apart the silent night.
The sound was like a surging wave, one after another, constantly hitting the camp's defense line.
However, Li Zhi, who was in the camp, looked calm, as if the noise and fighting outside had nothing to do with him. His eyes were fixed on the old dog and pickled vegetables in front of him, with scrutiny and oppression in his eyes.
"Tell me, who are you?"
Li Zhi's voice was deep and powerful, but in this chaotic atmosphere, it was clearly heard by Old Dog and Sour Pickles.
The old dog subconsciously glanced outside the camp, where shouts and cries of killing were heard. A glimmer of hope surged in his heart, and he said bravely: "My brothers are here. If you know what's good for you, let us go quickly. Otherwise, when they rush in, you will be in big trouble!"
Li Zhi shook his head slowly, his tone still calm, but revealing an unquestionable majesty: "You haven't answered my question yet, who are you?"
The old dog frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled. How could this man not be worried about the situation outside? He couldn't help but ask again, "Aren't you worried?"
Li Zhi shook his head again, his voice was very soft but irresistible: "I ask you questions, can I answer them?"
Li Zhi's calm tone inexplicably made Lao Gou feel uneasy.
Under this seemingly gentle gaze, the old dog actually felt as if an invisible pressure was looming over him.
He swallowed subconsciously, his throat felt dry, and his voice became a little softer unconsciously: "We are from the Daweishanzi Camp."
"Da Wei? Shanziying?"
When Li Zhi heard this answer, his brows furrowed even more. He continued to ask, "Why did the Wei army attack us?"
Under Li Zhi's gaze, Lao Gou felt uncomfortable all over. He did not dare to hide anything at this moment and replied honestly: "Whenever a delegation from a vassal state comes here, our general will let us play with them..."
"Just for fun? What if someone dies?"
Li Zhi's voice remained calm, making it impossible to detect his emotional changes.
The old dog replied subconsciously: "Those people from the vassal states are not as skilled as us, so if they die, they die..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, and was shocked and quickly shut his mouth. He looked at Li Zhi in horror, his eyes full of regret and fear.
However, Li Zhi unexpectedly smiled at him, and that smile seemed more terrifying to the old dog than anger: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is no way I could kill you..."
As he spoke, Li Zhi's voice suddenly lowered, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was saying to Lao Gou: "Killing people right after arriving in Wei... This is not a good idea..."
Duan Heng had been listening quietly at the side. He then asked, "What should we do now?"
He looked at Li Zhi, waiting for instructions.
Li Zhi smiled, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Tell Captain Yang to fight well and show the power of our Yong State!"
Duan Heng nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and stopped and asked, "What if a fight breaks out and someone dies?"
Hearing this, Li Zhi grinned and a smile appeared on his face again, but there was a hint of coldness in that smile: "In a war, it is normal for a few people to die..."
As he spoke, the black sword in his hand suddenly flashed a cold light, and with a "swish", the heads of the old dog and the pickled vegetables fell down.
Li Zhi's voice sounded slowly, as if coming from a faraway place: "In my case... there is no reason why you can kill me and I can't kill you."
His eyes were cold as he looked at the corpse on the ground, without a trace of mercy.
At this moment, the shouting and screaming outside the camp was still deafening, but inside the camp, there was a suffocating chill.
…
Xu Dayan's bulging eyes were filled with disbelief at this moment.
He found it hard to believe. His side launched round after round of fierce attacks, but the enemy's camp was like a towering mountain, standing firmly and impregnable.
Xu Dayan thought to himself that the opponents of a camp that could hold out under such an attack must be extraordinary.
If none of his companions had fallen into the hands of the enemy, given Xu Dayan's personality, he might have decisively ordered a retreat and sought other ways.
However, he is now in a dilemma.
A soldier beside Xu Dayan saw that he looked serious and asked cautiously, "Boss, what should we do? Do we still need to charge?"
Xu Dayan slowly turned around and glanced at his fellow soldiers behind him. He saw that in the previous few charges, everyone was injured to varying degrees.
Xu Dayan gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He looked at the camp that was as solid as a turtle shell again, and ordered decisively: "Lao He, Lao Ma, and Yang Zi, each of you take two people to follow me, and the others continue to attack the camp. I will see if there is a chance to rush in!"
Hearing this, everyone nodded, with determination in their eyes.
They turned around and threw themselves into the fierce battle again without hesitation. The shouts and sounds of weapons clashing intertwined and echoed through the night sky.
This time, Xu Dayan did not lead the charge as usual. He crouched like a lurking cheetah, staring at every corner of the battlefield, not missing any details.
This observation made Xu Dayan's heart tremble.
When attacking, he did not realize the enemy's strength, but when he left the battlefield and calmed down to take a closer look, he was surprised to find that the defense of the camp in front of him was perfect.
The enemy's soldiers were all fierce and fierce, and were in no way inferior to their Great Wei's elite troops.
However, Xu Dayan felt a little relieved immediately.
He keenly discovered that the other party seemed to have some concerns within the territory of Wei. Although their defense was impeccable, they did not dare to take the initiative to attack.
This is a common problem for almost every envoy from a vassal state that comes to the Wei Dynasty.
After all, they were facing the mighty Wei Dynasty!
It was precisely because of this that Xu Dayan dared to attack the camp so unscrupulously time and time again.
In his opinion, as long as the enemy did not dare to step out of the camp and take the initiative to attack, no matter how good the defense was, it was just a turtle hiding in its shell, seemingly invulnerable but actually trapped in a corner.
And he has plenty of ways to deal with turtles.
Just as Xu Dayan squinted his eyes and concentrated on looking for the opponent's flaws, his gaze suddenly fixed on a place in the camp.
He was overjoyed, because there was an obvious loophole in the opponent's defense.
But he was a veteran after all, so he quickly calmed down. This flaw was too strange, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was a trap set by the other party.
However, he thought again: since the people of these vassal states did not even have the courage to take the initiative to attack, how could they have the courage to set a trap to plot against them?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that his idea was a little ridiculous. He threw away his doubts and quickly gestured to the person behind him.
Then, they rushed into the defensive loophole like the tips of sharp knives!
