Chapter 93: Arrive in Time

"kill!"

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the sound of countless people gathering under the city seemed to form a tangible and qualitative wave of air, shaking the entire city of Ye.

The city walls on the north and east were shaking under the continuous impact of the crowds.

The bright moonlight and the burning fires under the city illuminated the way forward for the Minshan bandits' siege troops. Simple long ladders were constantly laid on the city wall. The Minshan bandits holding various weapons were holding the falling rolling stones, gold juice, and arrows kept climbing up the long ladder.

At the two city gates, a thick log was held by dozens of people and hit the city gate hard, making a series of dull sounds. As several pots of hot oil fell from the city, a large area was burned to death, but soon someone rushed up the log and continued to hit the city gate.

On the top of the city, Wang Hu led his black armored army to fight bloody battles and repel waves of enemy troops, but his own casualties were gradually increasing. The thick leather armor on the soldiers had cracked apart, and his blood and the enemy's blood mixed together, forming blood stains. The sharp horizontal knife in his hand also cut out gaps.

A person's physical strength is limited, and even the brave soldiers are exhausted.

The city guards for several days have almost drained every bit of the black armored soldiers. They have been able to fight until now and have not been defeated because of their loyalty to the lord Liu Feng.

Not long after, Dongcheng was the first to break through. With the increase of casualties, Dongcheng's defensive power continued to weaken, and finally the Minshan bandits under the city found an opportunity and rushed up.

On the top of the city, a black armored army was siege by three Minshan bandits and tried hard to resist it for a few times. Because of the loss of force, the movement could not be kept up, and the enemy found a gap. Two long swords stabbed into his stomach, one left and one right, and then stirred hard.

"Puff!"

The black-armored army suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, raised the horizontal knife in his hand weakly, and fell to the ground.

At this moment, a black armored army who fainted on the ground next to him suddenly stood up. He stretched out his hands to hug two of them, rushed towards the female wall, and took the two of them down from the top of the city together.

······

"Captain, the East City Wall is in a hurry, brothers are almost unable to withstand it!"

On the north wall of the city, a black-armored thief with broken arms and blood all over his body lay in front of Wang Hu.

"I have to bear it even if I can't stand it. Everyone is here, there are no reinforcements, only fighting to the death!"

Wang Hu was also haggard at this time. He originally thought he could hold on until tomorrow afternoon. Unexpectedly, the Minshan bandits outside the city didn't know what crazy they were going. The offensive had never stopped from daytime to now. Now everyone hasn't even eaten a bite of food, and they are tired and hungry. If no miracle happens, it will be not far from the city breaking.

Not only Wang Hu thought so, but Cao Yu and others also thought so in the big tent outside the city. Seeing his soldiers rushing to the top of the city, everyone thought the overall situation was settled.

"Dad, Dongcheng's resistance is getting weaker and weaker. Once the city gate is opened, the army enters the city, and the entire Yecheng will be ours!"

Cao Fei pointed at the soldiers who were climbing upwards in front, his face full of excitement.

"Who led the troops to attack Dongcheng?"

Cao Yu also rarely showed a smile on his face. He had been coveting the city of Yecheng for a long time. This city was built around the Green Water River, which was connected to the canal. It has convenient water and land transportation. When there was no drought, it was a city with prosperous business. The big families in the city could be said to be rich.

In recent days, after the drought, the water of the Green Water River has been refilled, and more ships are transporting grain. So now there is not only silver, but also food in the city. As long as the city is robbed, their army will not need to worry about food and wages for a long time in the future.

"If you go back to the plate, it will be Yu Yang's men who will attack Dongcheng."

A leader said with envy.

Although Cao Yu was extremely strict in controlling the plate, he also had clear rewards and punishments, and he was very generous in rewarding those who had made contributions. This is one of the reasons why everyone was willing to work hard with him.

"It's that boy Yu Yang. Since Lao Yu died, this boy has indeed grown a lot. Send someone to tell him that as long as he can open the gate of Dongcheng and after our army breaks the city, I will allow his troops to keep 50% of the supplies!"

As soon as Cao Yu finished speaking, the eyes of the leaders around him were no longer envy, but jealousy. According to the previous rules, after the army attacked the city, each unit could only leave 20% of the materials obtained, and the rest had to be handed over.

Yecheng is already rich. If Yu Yang's troops could leave 50% of the supplies, it would be equivalent to plundering a small county town. Using this money and grain to expand its strength, the power in the military would definitely have increased significantly.

"Look, there seems to be something wrong on the top of the city!"

At this moment, someone suddenly pointed ahead and said.

When everyone heard this, they immediately raised their eyes. Although it was very blurry, they could still distinguish the enemy and us from the color. The defenders on the city were all unified black armor, while the colors on their own were brighter. Most of them were mainly red, bright red as fire.

At this time, the bright red, which was like fire, was swallowed by darkness. The red, which originally occupied two-thirds, quickly retreated to one-third, and was still decreasing.

This is also the case not only in the East City, but also in the city on the other side of the North City.

"What's going on?"

"It seems to be reinforcements from the enemy!"

Someone exclaimed, aren’t the darkness that is devouring red? They are just black armored soldiers wearing black armor?

"What the hell is going on? Didn't it mean that there are only three thousand black armored troops in the city? Where did these reinforcements emerge?"

Cao Yu looked at a young man standing next to Cao Fei, his eyes filled with evil spirits.

The young man quickly knelt on the ground with a panic on his face, "Reporting to the plate, our spies did see only three thousand people entering the city, and there were no other troops!"

"Then how do you explain where the reinforcements in front of you came from, whether they flew out of the sky or escaped from the ground?"

Cao Yu said without waiting for the young man to explain, he pulled out his waist knife and chopped him up with one knife.

The leaders around him were all frightened.

"Why are you still so sad here? Get out of here and attack the city. If you can't capture this city tonight, don't come back!"

"yes!"

When the leaders around him heard this, they all felt like they were amnesty and retreated one after another.

Soon, besides the personal guards guarding the periphery, there were only two Cao family father and son left here.

"Do you think your father is doing too much? You will kill someone in anger!"

Cao Yu said as he threw away the blood from the long sword and slowly inserted it back into the scabbard.

"Dad, you should know that he has been with me for a long time."

Cao Fei looked at the corpse on the ground, his eyes turned red.

"So what?"

Cao Yu's face was chilled, "If you want to accomplish great things, you cannot be kind to a woman. Just because he is yours, I can't keep him. Otherwise, who will bear the responsibility for the information error? Are you?"

"Dad, I was there that day, and I did see only three thousand black armored troops entering the city-"

"This doesn't matter anymore!"

Cao Yu waved his hand, "The important thing now is that reinforcements appear on the top of the city. You also know that these days, the continuous siege of the city has suffered a lot of losses. Each unit has complained. They are all holding up a breath and looking forward to breaking the city and making a profit. It is about to take down Yecheng tonight. If the siege fails due to the emergence of reinforcements, someone must bear the consequences. This person cannot be you and me!"

Speaking of this, he patted Cao Fei's shoulder earnestly, "Child, don't look at those guys who are as afraid as mice in front of your father, you really treat them as mice? If you really think so, you will have a pair of white eyes. Don't forget what we started with. They are all wolves, a group of evil wolves that will eat at any time. If you can't make them afraid of you or fear you, then you can wait to be shared by them!"

"What Dad taught me is that the child was wrong."

Cao Fei was not a pedantic person, and soon understood his father's good intentions, so he quickly wiped his eyes.

"It's good that you can figure it out. Your father is not young anymore. In the future, the position of the plate will be handed over to you sooner or later. However, if you want to keep this position, you must mature quickly and not be emotional. If you can't suppress the people below in the future, if you give this position, you can't keep it!"

"Children follow the instructions!"

······

"See lord!"

On the top of Beicheng City, Wang Hu knelt on one knee, looking at Liu Feng who suddenly appeared with excitement on his face.

"Get up! Thank you for your hard work, let them all go down and rest."

Liu Feng reached out to help Wang Hu up. The three thousand defenders held on to this day, and more than 2,200 people died in battle! When he arrived, only 300 people were left on the city wall on the east side of the city, and the Minshan bandits almost occupied the entire city wall.

"Thank you lord!"

Wang Hu was about to stand up when his eyes suddenly turned dark and he fainted. The hard battles he had been exhausted for days had already made him exhausted. Now that he was relaxed, his body could not bear it.

"Hurry, take Captain Wang down to rest."

Two Jinyiwei in flying fish suits immediately walked out behind Liu Feng and took Wang Hu off the city wall.
