"boom!"

"Boom boom!"

Deafening explosions sounded several times in succession, and the sound came from within the city. All the soldiers raised their heads in surprise and looked around. At this moment, they even forgot about their physical fatigue.

The sound of explosions at this time was enough to make their heartstrings tense to the extreme.

Ding Hui shouted without hesitation:

"Someone is coming!"

"exist!"

"Go immediately to inquire about the military situation, see what is happening in the city, and ask the nearby garrison to rush over as soon as possible.

In addition, inform the garrison officers on top of the city not to relax, and all troops must go to the city to defend!"

Ding Hui's words made Zhao Zhongtian's heart tremble. Zhao Zhongtian frowned and said:

"You mean the Long Army will take advantage of the chaos to attack the city?"

"It's not impossible~" Ding Hui nodded and said:

"The Long Army has many tricks and plans, taking advantage of the high possibility of civil strife in our city to attack.

And the general always has a hunch that the explosion was probably caused by the Long Army~"

Ding Hui has been on the battlefield for many years, and his judgment of danger is still extremely keen.

Zhao Zhongtian frowned and became increasingly panicked.

"boom!"

"Boom boom!"

"Woo~wu~"

"Dong dong dong!"

At the moment when the fire burst into the sky, the Long army, which had been silent for many days outside the city gate, finally made some movement.

Bursts of war drums suddenly broke the tranquility of the night, and the shrill sound of horns began to echo in the night sky.

"Enemy attack~"

"Enemy attack~"

"The entire army is on alert!"

"The Long Army is attacking!"

…

Just as Ding Hui speculated, the Long army really took advantage of the chaos in the city to launch an siege.

The soldiers, who were slumped on the ground with sallow complexions and weak bodies, stood up one after another with difficulty, looking panicked. The faces of Ding Hui and Zhao Zhongtian also became increasingly livid.

Long Jun is indeed cunning~

"Report!"

"Report..."

The soldier who went to inquire about the situation finally came back. He ran all the way to Zhao Zhongtian and said breathlessly:

"Report, sir! There are hundreds of thieves dressed in civilian clothes setting fires everywhere in the city. They are the ones who caused the explosion.

The soldiers nearby are already rushing to put out the fire."

"The thief? Wearing ordinary people's clothes?"

Zhao Zhongtian stared blankly, why are there still such a group of people hiding in the city?

"It must be Long Jun!"

Ding Hui gritted his teeth and said: "The general understands that these spies must have been left behind by the Long Army when they withdrew from Shouchun City, so that they could be used in the future.

Now they are taking advantage of the fact that our army is short of food and our soldiers are tired, and they are cooperating inside and outside. Their intentions are simply sinister!"

Ding Hui and the Long Army were old rivals, and he immediately guessed the Long Army's combat intentions. He now even felt that the Long Army's loss of Shouchun City a while ago was intentional, in order to attract the main force of the Wu Army.

, and then surround and annihilate them.

Of course, due to Zhao Zhongtian's face, he did not express these inferences in his heart, otherwise it would be a huge blow to Mr. Zhao's confidence.

When Zhao Zhongtian heard this, his face became even paler and he murmured:

"Then, how should I fight next?"

Zhao Zhongtian knew very well the state of the soldiers in the city. There were very few soldiers with sufficient physical strength, and the defenders on the top of the city could not stop them for long.

If Zhao Zhongtian has suffered many defeats in his life, then this should be the most dangerous one he has faced.

"grown ups!"

Ding Hui, who still had some injuries on his arm, cupped his fists and said:

"At this point, we can only fight back to see if we can defeat the Long Army's siege today.

If we can hold on to this wave, we may be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive from the rear,"

"Okay!" Zhao Zhongtian grabbed Ding Hui's hand and said in a deep voice:

"I have always believed in your ability. From now on, the defense of Shouchun City will be fully entrusted to you. Don't let me down!"

Zhao Zhongtian looked solemn and his tone was full of worry. He really smelled a hint of death from the momentum of the Long Army's attack tonight.

Looking at the generals around him, only Ding Hui reassured him the most. Now Ding Hui was Zhao Zhongtian's biggest support.

Ding Hui shouted angrily:

"The last general takes command!"

"Someone is coming!"

"My subordinate is here!"

"Beat the drum, mobilize all the soldiers to defend the city, and tell the soldiers that no matter how hungry you are, you must climb to the top of the city! Otherwise, you will die under the butcher's knife of the Long Army!"

"promise!"

"Send the order, prepare the whole army for war, and welcome the Long Army!"

"Carrying crossbows and arrows to the city, where are the wood and rolling stones? Move them all!"

"Everybody move!"

It has to be said that Ding Hui still has some talents as a general and remains calm in times of crisis.

"Hoo ho ho!"

Under the urging of the generals at all levels, Wu's soldiers stood up in twos and threes and walked towards the city with difficulty. They knew that what awaited them was a near-death battle.

When Ding Huihui stepped into the city first, he was subconsciously stunned by the scene in front of him.

The outside of Shouchun City has been illuminated by countless fires, and densely packed Long soldiers are rushing to the top of the city to the sound of war drums.

"The army attacks!"

"Kill!"

"Soldiers, the time has come to make great achievements. Capture Zhao Zhongtian alive, wipe out the rebels, and kill~"

"Kill!"

As expected, the siege vehicles were set up on the city wall, and there was almost no counterattack from the Wu army along the way, because the soldiers on the catapults guarding the city were already hungry and panicked, and there was nowhere left to move.

Move those huge rocks.

Only a few crossbowmen were firing arrows as much as possible.

However, in this situation, the Long army would still attack the city no matter how much it cost.

"The whole army attacks, kill!"

"Whoever captures Zhao Zhongtian alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to the third rank!"

"Whoever captures Zhao Zhongtian alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and promoted to the third rank!"

The shouts echoing in the night made Ding Hui's eyes turn pale. He waved his knife and roared without hesitation:

"The whole army obeys the order and fights back!"

"Crossbowmen nock arrows, prepare~"

"put!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

"The crossbowmen are ready, let go!"

"Whoosh!"

Waves of arrow rain poured out from the top of the city, and Long soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood, with wailing sounds one after another. Although the morale of the Wu army had dropped to the lowest point, the skinny camels were still bigger than the horses, and their counterattacks were the same.

Not to be underestimated.

Of course, although Wu Jun's counterattack was fierce, it did not affect the Long Army's momentum of rushing forward at all, because they received a fatal order to capture Shouchun City~

"Kill!"

"The whole army attacks, and the archers and crossbowmen cover it!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In front of the Long Army formation, more than ten military generals lined up, all sitting on horseback. Behind them were thousands of elite cavalry. This was one of the few field cavalry in Ruan Zhixiong's hands.

The Southern Border Road Jiedushi, who is said to be taught by Fifth Xinrou, had a sneer on his face and said:
Chapter completed!
