Night fell slowly, and the outside of Tongzhou City was shrouded in endless darkness, and not a single sound could be heard.

Dots of starlight shine in the night sky, and the night wind whistles, lingering on the earth with a whistling sound, like a ghost.

A series of torches moved slowly on top of the city, and the shouts of the patrolling Long Army sometimes echoed in the night sky. As the core of Tongzhou's defense line, this city's defense was quite tight.

To this day, Liang Jun has not figured out how many soldiers and horses are stationed in Tongzhou City, but Chenyue knows that there must be more than the original Quannan Pass.

A military flag with the word "Long" fluttering slowly in the night wind, giving it a quiet atmosphere.

Fifth Xinrou appeared quietly on the top of Tongzhou City, wearing a blue gown that made his figure particularly tall and elegant.

He came all the way from the land south of the Yangtze River and only rested for one day before taking action against Chen Yue.

In the first battle between the two, Fifth Xinrou had already gained the upper hand.

Dugu Chengye and Xun An were on either side of him, silently. The fifth flag had not been raised in the city, and even now, few people in the city knew that the Minister of War had arrived in Tongzhou.

city.

Fifth Xinrou calmly looked outside the city and said softly: "Is there any latest news from Yu Wenmao?"

Dugu Chengye said in a deep voice: "I received an urgent military report from Yu Wenmao two hours ago. They have surrounded 20,000 Liang troops on Qingwupo and are fighting fiercely. We don't know the situation of the battle yet. There should be no problem.

big."

"Twenty thousand~" Fifth Xinrou murmured: "I wonder if Yu Wenmao and Yuan Man can eat it~"

Xun An bowed slightly and said: "Our army is twice as powerful as Liang's army, and it still has the advantage of the terrain. Even if we cannot kill 20,000 people, we should have no problem in inflicting heavy losses on them."

"It would be great if it can be severely injured~" Wu Xinrou raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although this was his first time fighting Liang Jun, he would give Liang Jun enough attention.

Fifth Xinrou slowly raised her hand and pointed to the endless night ahead and said:

"There are murderous intentions outside this city wall~ I just don't know if King Liang will be fooled."

…

The night is dark and cold.

Although summer is coming, the night still has a hint of coolness, and the coolness also carries a hint of murderous intent~

Densely packed Liang soldiers had quietly formed formation outside Tongzhou City. The infantry formations were neatly arranged, and all the soldiers had murderous looks on their faces.

Tall siege engines and catapults were placed one after another, and the soldiers with heavy backs and thick backs had already gathered on the side and were on standby.

And those big leather drums are about to make their own roar.

Chen Yue and others did not board the general platform, but sat astride the horse, looking at the city head dotted with flames with slightly focused eyes.

The moonlight tonight is still a little dim, and the firelight on the top of the city is like a beacon in the darkness, extremely conspicuous.

Unlike the Long Army, which was as convenient and quick as sending messages to and from the Liang Army, the Liang Army was attacking deep into the enemy's defense line, so it was difficult for military reports to be delivered in a timely manner.

The last military report Liang Jun received was the military information that Anfu City was breached. So far, everything is still under control.

"Your Majesty." Chu Yucheng called softly from his side: "The army has been deployed and ready to attack at any time."

"Hmm~"

Chen Yue responded calmly: "Now it depends on whether Bi Hu and Wu Qiu can arrive on time~"

According to the agreement before the war, after Anfu City was captured, the two cavalry armies would rush to Tongzhou day and night, attacking the Long army's back. During the period, the Liang army attacked the north gate in a large scale, attacking from both sides, catching the Long army by surprise.

As long as everything goes well, Tongzhou City will be captured tonight.

The Liang army's strategy was clear at a glance. Wang Rusong's east-route army captured Anfu City, and then sent cavalry to attack Tongzhou, attacking from both sides.

The first key to this battle is whether Anfu City can be successfully captured, and the second is whether the two cavalry generals can arrive at the Tongzhou battlefield on time.

wait!

Now all Liang Jun has to do is wait!

There was silence inside and outside Tongzhou City, and the air was so heavy that it almost dripped with water. Tens of thousands of Liang Army elites had quietly arrived outside the city to form an array.

This time Chenyue did not send out the first campers to crawl forward and sneak attack the city.

Because the Long Army dug a deep ditch outside Tongzhou City, and every once in a while the defenders would shoot out a wave of rockets for illumination, so there was no possibility of a sneak attack.

It can also be seen from this that the Long Army's defense was extremely tight.

"Ready! Release!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Waves of rockets were fired sparsely from the top of the city, probably just a few dozen steps from the edge of the city wall, which was enough to ensure that the defenders at the top of the city would not be attacked by surprise.

"Chi chi chi~"

The rocket illuminated a small area, and Long Jun, who saw nothing unusual, retracted his head with satisfaction.

The two armies were waiting in this restless atmosphere. In fact, neither side was sure whether the other side was preparing for war. They were both betting~

…

"Uh huh~"

"Kill, kill, kill~"

I don't know how long it took, but there seemed to be a slight commotion in the southeast of Tongzhou City. There were faint roars, and the shouts got louder and heavier.

Soon, the riot spread to the whole city, and even angry shouts came from the north gate:

"The south gate is under attack. The Liang army is approaching. Go to the south gate quickly to support!"

"Quick, assemble in formation and head to the south gate, quick!"

"Damn it, it's you, move faster! If you wait any longer, I'll chop you with a knife!"

…

There were a lot of fires on the top of the city, and the figures were chaotic. You could vaguely see many light spots starting to move towards the southeast for support.

It seems that a huge change has occurred in the southeast of Tongzhou.

This situation made the generals of the Liang army outside the city excited. It seemed that Bihu and Wu Chou had arrived at Tongzhou City as agreed, and had already launched a sneak attack at the city gate, otherwise the Long army would not have caused trouble.

Such a big movement.

"Your Majesty!"

All the generals shouted angrily, waiting for Chen Yue to issue an order.

After waiting for so long, all the generals were exhausted.

Chen Yue looked calm and waved his hand:

"Go to camp first and attack!"

"promise!"

Several fast horses galloped out from Chen Yue's side, went straight to the front of the formation, and shouted in a low voice:

"The king ordered us to attack the camp first!"

Fu Zi'an, who was standing in front of Xianden Camp, gave a ferocious laugh, twisted his neck, his bones creaked, and shouted angrily:

"Brothers, follow me to attack!"

Murderous!

"Ouch!"

A large number of black shadows flashed out of the darkness and headed straight for the north gate of Tongzhou. The army also carried a large number of wooden planks and bamboo ladders. These were the light equipment used by the first echelon of the siege. Large cloud chariots would follow later.

Enter.

The Liang army was well prepared for today's siege.

"Puff puff puff~"

The black wave rolled forward, and the night was filled with a murderous atmosphere. When the first camp arrived and was only a few dozen steps away from the North City Gate, it was finally illuminated by the Long Army's rockets.

The Long Army infantry who first discovered the Liang Army didn't know what was going on. He just trembled all over when he saw the dense Liang Army, and then howled at the top of his lungs:

"Liang, Liang's army is here!"

"The enemy is attacking, the Liang army is coming!"

The Liang army, which was as dense as locusts, made his face turn pale with fright, and his palms trembled.

"Woooooo~"
Chapter completed!
