Sicheng is a new city.

More precisely, at the beginning of the discovery of signs of spiritual famine in the Southern Dynasty, a new fortress was built at the confluence of the lower reaches of several large rivers from the north.

The rocks used to build the city were all transported by water from the upper reaches of Minggu Mountain, and the huge stones were heavy and tough, even cultivators could not easily shake and break them, and because they were newly repaired, the shady side of the smooth stone walls had not even had time to grow moss, shining with a metal-like cold light.

Before sunrise in the early morning, the Northern Wei army had besieged for nearly an hour, and in the morning light, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty on the city wall were shocked to see that it was just one night, and the fields around Sicheng, and even on the tidal flats on the side of the river, had been densely covered with black tents.

These black tents of the Northern Wei Dynasty are made of felt made of the cow hair of a kind of long-haired cattle in the north, ventilated, but the natural oiliness of the surface can prevent rainwater from seeping in, and can shade the sun in summer, and in winter, this kind of camp tent can play a good role in keeping warm, and even if a bonfire is lit in the tent, the smoke can quickly penetrate out from the top of the tent.

Many of these black tents have hideous wolf head markings, and a small half of them have a terrifying white bone totem painted with some kind of white paint in addition to the wolf head.

Both of these clearly reminded all the Southern Dynasty soldiers in the city that these were the troops of Yuanying, the king of Zhongshan in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The difference is that those white bone totems painted with terrifying white bones are the personal soldiers of Zhongshan King Yuanying, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the White Bone Army of Zhongshan King was originally one of the most elite armies in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and any sergeant in the White Bone Army is the kind of veteran army who follows Yuan Ying through a hundred battles and treats himself extremely cruelly.

The white paint used to draw the totems was ground from the skulls of the enemies they killed, and was real bone meal.

Even in the Southern Dynasties, people in many places believed that after a dead person lost his head, he could not die, and the ghost would never disperse, but in the eyes of the White Bone Army, this resentful spirit of the enemy they killed would make them stronger and make the current enemy more fearful.

According to the military situation, Yuan Ying's White Bone Army had just finished the battle in Zhongqian City at nightfall yesterday, even if it was not counted as the time to clean up the battlefield, from Zhongqian City to this place, and then join the siege, these White Bone Army would not be able to rest for more than half an hour.

Most of the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were not afraid of the existence of bravery, but almost no one would be afraid of the kind of perverted existence that could continue to fight without sleep.

There was a constant and scattered whistling in the air.

The arrows fired by the Northern Wei army around were still scattered.

......

Some Northern Wei sergeants, under the protection of heavily armored Northern Wei sergeants with huge shields, piled up earth outside the city facing the east gate.

This earthen platform is located less than fifty paces from the east gate, and any arrow shot from the eastern wall can easily fall here.

Yuanying, the king of Zhongshan, stood behind the rudimentary earthen platform, and beside him stood a taller, more unruly and rugged general than him.

The general was shirtless, his muscles bulging high like rocks, and his dark skin was covered with horrific scars.

A delicate black soft armor was casually tied around his waist.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing, why are you just pretending like this?" Listening to the shouts and screams on the surrounding city walls, the tall and mighty Northern Wei general couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in confusion, "Heap this bird feather soil platform to see inside, what's so beautiful, it's better to give me 10,000 white bone troops, I will rush directly to the city wall from here." ”

This Northern Wei general, who also spoke rudely, was Yang Lu, the commander of the White Bone Army.

In the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a killing maniac that even children would stop crying when they heard his name. He was the first to cut off the heads of his enemies and hang them behind his horses, and after marching, he scraped off the flesh and bones of his skulls on the ground after marching.

In some places of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the white bone army dragged more than a dozen white bones on the ground behind each horse, when the white bone army marched, the sound of the white bones hitting each other and rubbing on the grass made everyone who heard it along the way unforgettable, it seemed to be the wail of countless souls that could not be relieved.

"What do you guess I'm trying to do?" Won-young listened to his words, smiled, and asked.

"Do you still want to train soldiers?" Yang Yan frowned and said, "Do you want these tender eggs to see the gap between them and the real White Bone Army?"

"If that's all there is, there's an opportunity. Yuan Ying laughed.

Yang Luo didn't bother to guess again, he looked at the side of the earth with some annoyance, and shouted at Xing Lian, who was squatting on the edge of a fire pit and eating something with several generals: "Xing Lian, why do you say it?"

Xing Lian is too familiar with Yang Lu's temper, and knows that if he doesn't pay attention, he will make trouble next.

"Be quiet, don't let the southerners hear. He raised his head, chewed a slightly charred scone, and said softly in a vague voice: "The prince wants to besiege the city and send reinforcements." ”

"Siege the city and send reinforcements? Is it deliberately to keep this city from being breached, and destroy the reinforcements from all walks of life in the Southern Dynasty first?" Yang Yan scratched his head, he could understand the literal meaning, but he still didn't understand the deep meaning, he didn't bother to think about it, and said: "Why? The siege of the city was so hurried before, why wait when you get here?"

"Lan Huaigong is not in the previous cities, and now most of Lan Huaigong is pressed into this city, and the overall situation here has been decided. With such a feint attack in batches, our army can also get time to rest, but the army of the Southern Dynasty inside is always tense and will be exhausted after a few days. Xing Lian then took a few bites, and simply walked over with food, and said: "The previous attack was urgent, which is to form the current situation, just like if the previous fortified city was not broken, our army would be in danger. If you understand this, can you understand why the prince is in a hurry to storm at this time and end the battle in the summer?"

"I can guess somewhere. Yang said angrily, "If you want to say it quickly, be careful if I hit your food bowl again." ”

"Okay, you black calf. Xing Lian couldn't help but pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "I don't need to use my brains to still want to sprinkle on me, any use of troops is based on military intelligence, at this time, Xiao Hong has just taken over the power of the army, and the dispatch itself is chaotic, and there are still many people in the Southern Dynasty who are not convinced, plus we suddenly have a surprise army, if Lan Huaigong's army is wiped out by us, they will be defeated by the enemy." Now that the situation is so critical for them, it is naturally more impatient to dispatch, and we will seize this opportunity to annihilate them one by one, just to best preserve the combat strength. And it won't work too early, if we destroy Lan Huaigong too soon... The reinforcements from all over them have not yet arrived, Lan Huaigong's war here has ended, and the reinforcements from all walks of life have naturally been transferred to other places, although Xiao Hong is not good, but he still has a few powerful people under him, if they are given time to knead, these local troops get together, the number is not good, and it will be a big trouble for us in the future. Now we are waiting for the rabbits, waiting for them to come and surrender in a hurry, it is much simpler than us working hard and attacking everywhere, and the Zhenwu army in these places is empty, and then we will win a big victory here, this place in the Southern Dynasties is a white land for us, and it is easier to march and fight. ”

"Where are there so many twists and turns in my mind, just draw a knife and cut at these southerners. Yang Yi understood it thoroughly, but when he looked at Xing Lian and Yuan Ying, he still had rough air in his nostrils, looking righteous and extremely unhappy.

Yuan Ying glared at him fiercely, and said: "Soldiers, deceit, is to make people unexpected, if you, a rough man, lead the troops, one day a flash of inspiration, so that the southerners are unexpected, you may be able to easily win, draw a knife and slash, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, even if you win, it is not unusual." ”

"Then you have time to help me think about it. Yang Yi looked at Xing Lian angrily and said, "Let me have some treacherous changes." ”

Xing Lian ignored him, looked at Yuan Ying, took a deep breath, lowered his voice, and said: "It's just that if the Southern Dynasty changes slightly, if there is an unfavorable situation in our war here, we will definitely be powerless, how to deal with it?"

Although the battle situation here seems to be under control everywhere, although the use of troops this time is strange, it is based on the situation of squeezing the army under their command to the limit, no matter how tenacious the sergeant's will is, after all, his physical strength will not be able to support it, in his opinion, it is too dangerous after all.

"There are 100,000 reinforcements coming. Yuan Ying understood his trouble, but he smiled confidently and said softly.

Xing Lian was taken aback, raised his head in disbelief and looked into his eyes, and after a moment he came to his senses a little, "You mean, Lord Demon Sect, he will take the soldiers and horses of the six divisions in the north..."

Yuan Ying nodded, he raised his head and looked at the stray arrows flying in the sky, and said, "The reason why Lord Demon Sect can become Lord Demon Sect is that what he said and promised never fell through. For many years, he was worshipped as a god because of his credibility. ”

Xing Lian didn't ask any more questions, and he returned to the fire pit to eat with peace of mind.

Although he didn't know who and what army was arranged by Yuan Ying to deal with the reinforcements from the states of the Southern Dynasties, he shouldn't have to worry about it, and he could know it within a few days.
