The sudden retreat of the armies of all nations made everyone happy.

But Chen Yang had a bad premonition. As the God of War, General Han would never give up on attacking the city. He must have other plans.

"Princess, send someone out quickly to check every move of the armies of all nations. I always feel that this is a bad omen?" Chen Yang said worriedly.

"Brother Chen Yang, isn't it a good thing that the enemy soldiers have retreated? This means that they are afraid of us and are so scared that they retreated!" Heizi said with a grin.

"General Han is not easily scared off. We must be prepared to defend the city for a long time, especially food, water sources, and necessary medicines. We must make plans now." Chen Yang said.

"Brother Chen Yang, we have won the battle now, but I think you are worried instead. Did you not sleep well last night? It just so happens that the armies of all nations have retreated. You and the princess can rest! We are guarding the city.

Just stare." Heizi said.

"Heizi is right, what can we do if we don't take a rest? The defense of the city below depends entirely on your advice!" Mingyue also advised.

"How can I fall asleep if I don't understand the situation?" Chen Yang sighed.

Mingyue and Heizi were both dazzled by the victory in front of them, which was not a victory at all. The battle was still to come. In Chen Yang's mind, many cases of defending the city appeared, some were successful and some were unsuccessful, regardless of whether they were successful or not.

Or failure, both are cruel.

The city was defended to the end, with no food and grass, all the bark of the trees in the city was eaten away, no one buried the people who died of starvation, and there were even cases of cannibalism. Coupled with the plague, it makes people shudder to think about it.

"Heizi, Qinglong obeys the order!" Chen Yang suddenly said.

The two of them were stunned for a moment and said, "Yes!"

"The two of you immediately lead a thousand soldiers each. Heizi is responsible for collecting food and grass in the city, including the food and grass from the people's homes in the city, and gathering them all in the city lord's palace for unified deployment. Also, starting from tomorrow, there will be two meals a day. Notices for the peace of the people will be posted immediately. No one is allowed.

Wrong, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"

"Qinglong, you are first responsible for guarding the water sources in the city's rivers, and you are also responsible for mobilizing the people in the city to load everything that can hold water into the water sources. There must be no mistakes, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

Chen Yang ordered the two of them in a stern tone.

Heizi and Qinglong glanced at Mingyue in confusion.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm not going to follow Chen Yang's orders immediately!" Mingyue said.

After the two left, the generals asked: "Master Chen Yang, did you notice something?"

Chen Yang said: "Defending a city has been the most rare thing since ancient times. What's more, compared with the armies of all nations, the power gap between us is really huge. One thing we didn't consider is that this is our burial place."

"Reporting to Your Highness the Princess, the troops of all nations have begun to build a dam on the upper reaches of the river to intercept the water source, and are digging the moat to let the water in the moat drain away. They have also captured soldiers of all nations. Here is a letter to Prime Minister Zhou!" Tan Ma

Report.

Mingyue was shocked. General Han was indeed cutting off their retreat. Without water, how could they defend the city?

Mingyue opened the letter and saw that inside it was a request for Prime Minister Zhou to send troops to attack Pengcheng in a flanking attack, but to block Zhang Chu's reinforcements.

Mingyue handed the letter to Chen Yang and said, "You were right. We have become an isolated city here!"

Chen Yang simply read the letter and said: "Don't panic, everyone, hurry up and prepare food and water sources now. As long as we don't leave the city to fight them, it will not be easy for them to invade the city, especially if the moat is gone."

The water will become deeper, which will be good for us."

Seeing Chen Yang's calm appearance in the face of danger, Mingyue's confidence increased a lot. She handed him the commander's golden seal and said: "From now on, you have the final say on everything in Pengcheng. Give us orders."

!”

As more and more people's peace notices were posted in Pengcheng, and the sound of soldiers beating gongs and drums, the people in the city began to run to each other and panic, especially when their own food was taken away from home, and they complained even more. But in the face of

The common people dared not speak out against these vicious soldiers.

Some even had conflicts with the soldiers, and it was the soldiers who were hurt. These soldiers just took away the food and allowed the people to beat and scold them without fighting back, which puzzled the people.

It turns out that Chen Yang ordered Heizi and others to collect grain and not to beat or scold the people. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed.

There was chaos in the city, but the troops from all countries outside the city stopped attacking the city. General Han followed the advice of the army staff, surrounded the river, drained the water source of the moat, and prepared to let Chen Yang and others out of the city within half a month without spending a single soldier.

surrender.

It was night, and the lights in the city lord's palace were brightly lit. Chen Yang and Princess Mingyue had just returned from a week's tour of the city when they heard Heizi shouting in the city lord's palace: "My eldest brother has become timid now, why can't he go out of the city to attack the enemy?"

"Master Chen is not wrong. Didn't you see the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, waiting for us to go out and die?" Yu Weiwei said.

"Heizi, facing tens of thousands of elite soldiers outside the city, do you dare to send troops to kill the enemy?" Chen Yang entered the courtyard and asked loudly.

Seeing Chen Yang and Princess Mingyue behind them, everyone did not dare to speak and reported to themselves the situation of preparing food and water.

"Brother, if you give me two thousand soldiers and horses, I will dare to rush out of the city and take the enemy's head right now!" Heizi waited until everyone had finished reporting and then said boldly.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "I can let you lead troops out of the city to kill the enemy, but you must promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" When Heizi heard that he was allowed to go out of the city to kill the enemy, Heizi said excitedly: "Don't say one thing, ten things are fine!"

"After you leave the city, you must move forward in concealment. As soon as you come into contact with the enemy, beat the drums and start a battle. The purpose of this battle is not to kill more enemy soldiers, but to seize horses. That's all. Can you agree to this?" Chen Yang said.

"If you don't let the enemy be killed, it's fine if you can get the horses back." Heizi said.

"Heizi listens to the order. At the fourth watch tonight, I order you to lead two thousand infantry and five hundred people holding spears to kill the enemy in front. The rest just snatch the horses, mount the war horses and lead all the soldiers back immediately. I will send someone to respond." Chen Yang.

commanded.

"As ordered!" Heizi replied.

As soon as Heizi left with his 2,000 elite soldiers, Chen Yang immediately ordered Qinglong and other officers to follow Heizi's mission, to go out of the city to harass the enemy and seize horses. Although the generals were confused, they all believed in Chen Yang's plan and acted accordingly.

Mingyue knew that Chen Yang was taking advantage of the enemy's carelessness, taking advantage of the enemy's carelessness, and attacking at the fourth watch when men and horses were exhausted, so he would definitely win.

Chen Yang said: "Now that the enemy dares to go out to kill the enemy without thinking that we are under siege, they will definitely think that we have abandoned the city and fled. In the dark and unclear circumstances, we will not attack rashly, but will only defend. They will gain a lot."

Returning victorious."
