The offensive and defensive battle at the head of the city soon began to end with the setting of the sun, and in today's battle, the two sides can be regarded as having damage to each other, but in general, the losses of the besieging side are larger, because they are at a disadvantage of the terrain after all, but the soldiers at the head of the city are not veterans of a hundred battles, so they also have certain casualties.

Hearing the sound of Mingjin outside the city, Chen Junji was also relieved, he was not worried that the enemy army would be able to knock down the city in one day, but he was worried that the recruits at the head of the city would not be able to slow down, they had not experienced such a strong offensive, if these recruits were defeated, it would always cause a lot of trouble.

After collecting the troops, Yuan Zonghao was also a little helpless, this kind of siege warfare, unless there is a strong military advantage or can give the enemy strong pressure, otherwise it is always necessary to fold the cost, kill the enemy 800 and lose 1,000, but there is no way to do it, where is the city, you can't always imagine that the people in the city are crazy and then kill out of the city.

However, Xiao Lian transferred the 500 people who did not participate in the battle today, so that they could cheer up and prepare to do things at night.

These people didn't know what to do, and one of the leaders said: "Your Highness, if we want to attack at night, I'm afraid it's not easy, before we can climb up to the city, the people in the city are awake, and the archers can't aim at night, and we don't even have cover." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "When have I ever suffered a loss in a war?" ”

This person patted his forehead: "It's a subordinate who is talking too much, of course His Highness will think of this kind of thing, what do we need to prepare?" ”

"Prepare the palm thunder and the war drum, we haven't tried the palm thunder yet, you have to be careful, don't hurt yourself."

"Your Highness, don't worry, when the palm thunder arrived in the camp, the general manager had already demonstrated it to us, this thing is powerful, but it's too troublesome. And the number is so small that none of our 500 brethren can divide it. ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "Let's just order some belongings, we can save these by making more than a dozen a day, you have to be cheap if you are useful, and you can get three taels of silver for making this thing." We have to throw out five hundred taels of silver tonight, and I understand now, as soon as the cannon goes off, the saying that ten thousand taels of gold is true. ”

"Hehe, Your Highness, this thing is so valuable, brothers are really reluctant to throw it away."

"Fart, you have to throw it when you need to, and you won't be allowed to give out the money. Okay, let's go and rest, there's still something important to do during the night. ”

Soon the sky had darkened, and the soldiers at the head of the city had eaten and then began to rest, and after a day's fighting, although there was no hand-to-hand combat, the spirit had been tense, so they were also tired, so they all began to rest, not to mention them, even their superiors, those old soldiers in the army, did not expect that anyone would come to attack the city at night, so everyone slept peacefully.

Of course, Chen Junji would not give the army outside the city a chance, arranged the soldiers on duty at night and told them to greet them immediately once there was an enemy situation, and they must not fight alone, if there was really a large group of men and horses attacking the city, they would have to become a joke.

He was also tired from commanding a day's battle, so after telling these things he went back to sleep in the house by the city wall, which he certainly had as a general, but he did not dare to sleep in a comfortable place in the city, only near the city wall.

Originally, he was supposed to share the weal and woe with the soldiers at the head of the city, but firstly, the situation has not yet reached this point, and secondly, if the expectation is good, he is afraid that he will have to deal with more difficult battles tomorrow, so it is very necessary for him to rest well.

When it was the second watch at night, Cheng Xiaolian sneaked out of the city with a team of men, and his advantage was that the siege battle during the day could be handed over to Yuan Zonghao, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to rest at night.

At this time, he looked back at Jia Xu dissatisfiedly: "Let's go to war, what are you a scholar doing with us?" ”

"Your Highness, but what you said, made me look at it with wide eyes, it's so dark this night, if I don't follow you, even if my eyes are wide, I'm afraid it's useless."

"I warn you, we are not here to enjoy the scenery, there is danger at any time, if you don't want to be killed by an arrow, just wait for news in the camp."

"Your Highness is not afraid, how can I be afraid, hurry up, it will be dawn in a while."

Cheng Xiaolian didn't have time to take care of him, so he took them out of the camp, Yang Youcai followed Cheng Xiaolian's side, and there were also a lot of brocade guards around, Yang Youcai had already told him that once there was any dangerous situation, no matter how many lives he used, he had to protect Cheng Xiaolian, so these people all had a twelve-point spirit.

As soon as the group left the camp, they began to lower their voices, and any unusual movement would attract the attention of the guards at the head of the city, so they had to be careful. Until he slowly sneaked to the city, everyone was waiting for the signal, Yang Youcai glanced at the city: "Your Highness, you can act." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Send a signal." ”

Yang Youcai picked up the signal tube in his hand and aimed it at the sky, and a beautiful fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the surrounding soldiers immediately began to beat the war drums, and after waiting for half a cup of tea, the soldiers with grenades in their hands began to open the mechanism, and in less than ten breaths, countless black spots were thrown into the city.

However, it was said that the guards on night at the head of the city knew that the situation was not good when they saw the fireworks below, and when they heard the sound of war drums, they immediately shouted: "The enemy is attacking the city!" ”

The soldiers who were at the head of the city and the soldiers who were in the middle of the road all opened their hazy eyes, and the veterans kicked them one by one: "Get up and defend the city, if the enemy army enters the city, you can sleep for the rest of your life!" ”

Chen Junji, who was in the house, also heard the shout, immediately got up from the bed, hurriedly put on his armor, took his weapon and went out, and before he could step out of the gate, a deafening explosion was immediately heard above the city.

But he said that the soldiers above the city, before their sleepy eyes were fully opened, they felt that bursts of black shadows flew in front of them, and many unlucky eggs were hit, and scolded loudly: "Which one who lacks virtue throws iron, if it weren't for Lao Tzu to hide quickly。。。。。。 ”

Then there was no other sound, only the sound of explosions, and then the soldiers of the city beat the war drums with all their might, and looked like they were about to enter the city.

After the explosion, Chen Junji only heard the war drums outside the city with faster and faster frequency, and felt that something was wrong, so he immediately called the brothers around him: "Go and call the brothers of the four city gates, the city is about to break." ”

Yang Youcai under the city was a little dissatisfied: "Your Highness, we are bombing all the time, I'm afraid that the city will already be in chaos, why don't we take the opportunity to kill it, and we will take advantage of the situation to get the city." ”
