Chapter 150: What's the call in the middle of the night?

The cool breeze is blowing at night, and the clouds cover the stars and moons.

A lonely city in Hefei stands quietly in the darkness, and the sound of insects gradually fades away in autumn.

In the quiet wilderness, there was only the sound of gurgling water, and then there was the sound of rustling footsteps, which were the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong.

"There is no fire in Hefei. I really think we won't attack the city at night? Will Lu Su exaggerate it?"

Seeing that there was no trace of light ahead, Sun Ce couldn't help but complain to Zhou Yu beside him.

In the darkness, Zhou Yu analyzed: "Zi Jing is undoubtedly talented. Don't look at the city without light at this time, but there should be sentry monitoring in the dark. As long as the fire outside the city sways, the defenders in the city will definitely move, and you can see it at a glance.

, maybe knowing that we don’t have large equipment, it’s normal to relax our vigilance.”

"So Gongjin took advantage of the situation and let the soldiers walk without raising the fire. Although it is good to use night cover, the movement speed is really slow, and it is easy to fall when encountering pits."

"There is no way, the guardian of the city is waiting for the effort. If we don't act like this, we will not have the effect we should do."

"After a while, the four groups attacked together, and I wonder if there is a chance to break the city directly."

"There is a possibility, but it is not great. Long Xiang is as arrogant as Lu Su and is assisted by him. I guess he is prepared.

The key is whether the city is in chaos. Not to mention whether Deng Dang can succeed. Just the tens of thousands of refugees who fled from Lujiang are enough for them to drink a pot of food."

"Well, I hope to break the city sooner, we don't have much food and grass."

"Don't worry, Bo Fu will see results within three to five days."

"Well, the reason why Lujiang was difficult to fight back then was not only because the lack of troops given to me by Yuan Shu was also related to the fact that there were too many soldiers and enough food in Lujiang City. Now it is different from the past."

Sun Ce outside the city and Zhou Yu were walking in the dark. The hall of the Sima Mansion of the city was brightly lit, and senior generals and think tanks gathered together.

In the southeast corner of the room, there were a few stacks of bedding neatly placed, which were prepared by Longxiong for everyone.

Before the enemies outside the city retreated, they slept on the ground at night to facilitate collaborative measures and command and dispatch.

After dinner, Longxiang asked the governor of the fifth camp to report on his work one by one.

At that moment, he seemed to have returned to his former world and learned about the progress of the project with the heads of various departments.

The left and right city defense camp was at the front line, and Tang and Xu Ding reported the most, and they were very careful about how to dispatch and change defense at night, where did the soldiers in the camp rest, how to deal with dangers, etc.

After listening to this, Long Xiang specially reminded Feng Zhong: "In addition to the city defense camp, the busiest camp of Zhong Shu's craftsman is the busiest at night. If Sun Ce and Zhou Yu raid at night, the logistics supplies will be replenished by you. In addition, Lujiang is coming soon.

There are many refugees, and I am very worried that they will run around at night.”

"Don't worry, Yunqi, I have deployed people at every resettlement site, and the cavalry battalion will also strengthen patrols at night to ensure that newcomers will not cause trouble."

Feng Zhong patted his chest and promised.

Seeing everyone's expressions serious, Long Xiang smiled and comforted: "Don't be so nervous. Let's rest when you settle down. As long as Sun Ce doesn't do anything, we should eat and sleep."

The mood of the generals before the war was the same as that of the students before the exam. It was obviously impossible to say that they were not excited, but they would be able to stabilize if they really fought.

Long Xiang's words were not effective. After a while, Tang Xu, who was straightforward, asked Lu Su: "Mr. Zijing, I heard that Zhou Yu is resourceful. Will he come to seize the city at night?"

Lu Su stroked his beard and shook his head: "Zhou Lang is familiar with strategies and is well versed in the way of reality and reality, and I can't say it well."

"What else can I sleep? I'm going to the city."

Tang Xu said as he stood up, Xu Ding, Hao Meng and others all got up, but Long Xiang stopped him in time.

"Everyone stopped, aren't there any guards in the city? Everyone can sleep with peace of mind. It's not too late to wait until Sun Ce attacks the city. Now it's pitch black outside, and you can see the ignition light."

"What if Sun Ce climbs into the city in the dark"

Tang Xu muttered quietly and sat back.

Seeing that everyone was still worried, Long Xiang took the lead in lying on the soft mat beside the table.

He looked at the roof with his hands and murmured: "The sight at night is unclear. Sun Ce crawled into the city in the dark and followed them. It is impossible for him to have no sound at all, right? Just let the brothers throw stones, and they dare to light the fire, and it is even more exposed.

You can greet the bow and arrow.”

"Haha, why don't I let the city ignite? I didn't want to expose the target of the defenders. Where did Yunqi learn how to defend the city?" Lu Su also slept on the ground.

"Who taught this? It's just random thoughts. If you do something wrong, you have to remind me."

The civil engineering that Longxiang learned in his previous life, and there was no elective course for military arts in the school. His vision control was learned in the Summoner's Canyon and he often played with Captain Timo who could blind him.

"Okay, climbing the wall in the dark may break through weak defense cities, but Yunqi has just been deployed, and even Zhou Lang can't take advantage. The city is condescending and has a natural advantage. You are doing a good job."

"That's fine. Everyone closes their eyes and rest, and only then can they get better at raising their spirits."

"good."

"Old Tang, I'm a little quieter, I'm all asleep."

At this time, the conference hall was like a student dormitory that opened up to a bed. It was chattering before going to bed, and finally calmed down slowly.

The remaining one or two people who were not asleep closed their eyes and learned the method of counting sheep taught by Long Xiang.

The breathing sounds mixed with snoring sounds, and the concerto is played in the room with weak lights.

Until midnight, urgent military reports came from outside the hall, and enemy situations appeared at the four gates of Hefei at the same time.

Xu Ding, Tang Xu and Hao Meng, the three generals of the city defense camp, got up as soon as possible to sort out their clothes and armor, asked Long Xiang for instructions, and then went to the front line.

Xu Chu then clasped his fists and volunteered: "General, Sun Ce besieged the city from all sides. They went to the three gates in the southeast, north and north. I will lead the Huwei Camp to help the West Gate?"

Long Xiang waved his hand gently: "Bo'an (Xu Ding) has deployed a defender at the Ximen Gate. The Huwei Battalion has not been moved for the time being. You can go with me to the Xicheng Tower to take a look and let the brothers who should rest continue to rest."

"only."

Long Xiang shook his clothes and told Feng Zhong, "You all do your own jobs. Just take care of the affairs in the city and continue to sleep if there is no situation."

Feng Zhong and Cao Xing looked at each other and smiled, thinking that everyone has work to do now, how can they sleep?

After a while, Long Xiang and others climbed to the West City Tower, and a few torches were lit on the city at this time.

Looking down, I saw the fire shaking under the city.

Judging from the number, there are about a few hundred people below, all standing outside the moat and shouting.

There are only a few kittens? They don’t sleep in the middle of the night, so they run down to the city to support them?

“What’s the situation?”

Xu Chu found a guard's armed force and took it to Longxiang for questioning.

Huotou replied: "The thief originally climbed the city in the dark, but we hit a lot with stones. Now we retreated outside and made a noise. I don't know what the intention is."

Long Xiang nodded slightly: "Don't pay attention to the noise of the enemy. You put off the torch and continue to be alert. They shouted that they would leave when they were tired."

"Vei." Huoto clasped his fists and left.

"We are obviously a feint attack on Ximen. Let's go to the other three gates to take a look."

Long Xiang turned around and went downstairs without saying a word. It took half an hour to catch a quick look. The situation in each city gate was similar, and it was obviously Zhou Yu who was playing tricks.

"Zijing, please analyze it for me. Why did the Jiangdong Bing stop sleeping in the middle of the night? He went to the city to shout for him?"
