The severe lack of sleep made him extremely mentally weak and his temper extremely irritable.
He was not completely turned into a straw bag, of course he understood that this was the opponent's intention, which was to raise troops to attack the city from time to time, just to make him sleepless and foodless.
This is a plan!
However, it doesn't matter if you don't want to, because once the city gate is broken and the opponent attacks, everything will be over.
Now, deploy troops? No?
Lin Yao didn't know what to do.
He only has so few troops now, what can he do?
"Your Majesty!" Ma Wenze said again, "Make a decision quickly!"
Lin Yao clenched his fists, paused, gritted his teeth and said, "No! No!"
"Kings!!"
"Well, no!" Lin Yao raised his head, "This must be the other party's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. While I was able to lighten the people in the north gate, they immediately circled back and attacked! Moreover, I can't move all the troops to the south city to make amends.
, I must have my own family background! Yes, I can’t mobilize troops!”
The word "family wealth" made Ma Wenze frown.
Yes, they can't lose all their wealth. If all the soldiers and horses go to Nancheng and they can't defend it, then they have to have some manpower to follow them. Even if they leave Peifeng and become a bandit, they still have to have subordinates to help them.
Then, it won't be adjusted.
"Then, I'll go back to the north gate first!" Ma Wenze said.
"Go back quickly! Keep an eye on me!" Lin Yao shouted feebly.
Seeing Ma Wenze leading the people away, Lin Yao walked to the terrace behind him and looked up at the night sky.
The moonlight was very pale and there were not many stars, but the sky was clear.
Back then, he was the one who led thousands of troops outside the city to attack Peifeng. At that time, Peifeng was so difficult to defeat, and even with so many troops and horses, he could not capture it.
...Yes, Peifeng is very difficult to fight!
Not afraid, not afraid, Lin Yao comforted himself like this.
Outside the city, the fighting became increasingly fierce.
Li Xiao went up to the city wall several times and was beaten down again.
He considers himself to be very skilled and has been practicing hard over the years.
However, facing the spears and iron plates pushed out by dozens of people from the opponent, he was helpless and even almost fell off the high wall several times.
His troops are less than 10,000, which is really limited. He must attack the city wall as quickly as possible and seize the top of the wall.
And, he had to take care of the situation on Ah Li's side.
Thinking of that woman, Li Xiao felt furious in his heart.
This bitch!
It’s Pei Feng again! It’s Ah Li again!
Li Xiao once again rushed to the city wall and killed two soldiers, only to be pushed back by the enemy with spears and iron plates.
But this time, he made a quick judgment.
There are not many spears and iron plates, so as long as they all climb up the city wall at the same time, making it difficult for them to take care of each other, they can gain space for a battle.
But then, Li Xiao discovered women burning oil outside the inner city in the distance.
There were pots of oil and water, and the women were adding firewood and running around tremblingly.
Behind them, several soldiers were whipping and shouting at them crazily.
Boiling oil and boiling water!
Li Xiao cursed in his heart and quickly returned to the ladder, avoiding the spear and iron plate. At the same time, he listened attentively to the sound. When the spear and iron plate attacked the other side, he quickly jumped up the city wall and killed three more people.
But it's a pity that the spears and iron plates coming from both sides at the same time drove him back.
At the same time, he was being targeted, and the stones and crossbow arrows were coming towards him.
However, while attacking him, the soldiers on the other flying ladders will seize the time to climb up.
On the city walls and under the city walls, there was a murderous atmosphere.
After paying a heavy sacrifice, a battering ram finally broke through the thickened horizontal bars behind the city gate. Further inside the city gate, there were stone walls one after another.
The men roared violently and continued to charge towards these stone walls with their battering rams in hand.
Compared with the huge ancient city gates, these temporary stone walls are really vulnerable.
The soldiers and horses in the city quickly gathered, and when the stone wall collapsed and hit the group of soldiers, their crossbow arrows also whizzed away.
"Report!!" The messenger rode back with a few horses, "Your Majesty, the Tianhui Gate in Nancheng has been destroyed!"
Lin Yao fell asleep several times and was awakened by the sound of horse hooves several times. He sat on the spacious terrace and listened blankly to the news, his hands shaking involuntarily.
"The city is broken, the city is broken?" Lin Yao murmured, "How come it was broken so fast!"
"But we blocked it, blocked the attack! We can drive people out!" the messenger said.
"Report!!!" followed by another messenger, "Your Majesty, we are short of manpower!"
"How come there is a shortage?! There is no way it is missing!!" Lin Yao shouted excitedly.
"The opponent's attack is fierce, one against three, their skills are amazing!"
"Well, how about..." Lin Yao clenched his hands and finally ordered, "Then, return to the inner city! Everyone, return to the inner city!!"
"Yes!" The two messengers responded, quickly rode on horseback, and ran quickly.
Lin Yao was restless, holding his head in his hands, feeling that there were a few tendons in his head that kept beating around.
"Zhao Hui!" Lin Yao looked at a soldier.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The soldiers hurriedly stepped forward.
Lin Yao paused for a moment and said: "Go to Beicheng to mobilize troops quickly. Don't finish the deployment, deploy half, half!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded.
"Remember! Only half!" Lin Yao shouted again.
"yes!"
Lin Yao was still out of breath as he watched his soldiers run away.
His chest rose and fell violently, partly because of fear, and partly because he had not slept well for a long time and was really feeling unwell.
This calamity tonight will definitely pass, definitely!
But what if you can't make it through?
Lin Yao's eyes suddenly became confused.
He had to prepare for the worst and had to do it. He had to leave a way out and at the same time...
"Someone is coming!" Lin Yao suddenly became energetic, stood up and said loudly, "Someone is coming quickly!"
Several soldiers ran up to him: "Your Majesty!"
"Okay, prepare the torches," Lin Yao murmured, "Attack my city and destroy my peace. If I really want to leave, how can I spare my efforts and the thieves?!"
Several soldiers raised their heads and looked at him. Some didn't know why, and some already had guesses.
"I'm going to burn those granaries," Lin Yao's eyes became fierce, "I'm going to burn them all!"
Without a horse, the soldier named "Zhao Hui" ran all the way to the North City Gate, his legs almost weak.
When he was about to see the city gate, he fell to the ground with a crash. He couldn't get up and could only yell.
Hearing movement at the city gate, the three of them ran over quickly.
"What happened!" someone said while running.
Zhao Hui took several breaths before finally speaking out Lin Yao's order.
One person quickly went back to the city wall to report.
"It seems Nancheng can't hold on any longer," Ma Wenze said in a deep voice, "I'm going to mobilize troops right now, half and half."
There are really not many soldiers and horses. If we take out half of them, the remaining ones are not even 4,000.
But just as half of the soldiers and horses were assembled, a voice suddenly came from outside the city gate.
Ma Wenze suspected that his ears had heard wrongly.
Several soldiers beside him also stopped what they were doing, blinked and looked around.
"Is someone shouting?" one person said.
"What do you mean?"
"It's from outside the city!"
"Yes, it seems to be from outside the city!"
…
Several soldiers on the city wall looked outside the wall battlements.
"Quickly, open the city gate quickly and let me in! Quickly!!" Fang Genghou shouted outside.
Hearing Fang Genghou's voice, Ma Wenze was shocked and quickly turned around and ran towards the city wall.
The soldiers beside him also hurriedly followed.
"Open the city gate quickly! What the hell are you doing! Open it quickly!" Fang Genghou's voice almost became hoarse.
The city wall is too high, and the view below is very blurry, but they all recognize this voice.
"It's really General Fang!" someone shouted.
"Wait a minute!" Another person said, "General Fang doesn't seem to be the same person?"
In the dim light, he seemed to be holding something in his hand.
"You fucking open the door!!!" Fang Genghou was furious.
"Yes, open the door first and let General Fang in first!" said one person, turned around and ran towards the inside of the city wall, shouting at the people below, asking them to open the city gate.
There was a very thick log behind the city gate. After holding it open together, a gap was opened for only one person to pass through.
Fang Genghou was barefoot and his right leg seemed to be lame. His clothes were the same as before he left, but they were in tatters and full of mud.
He walked in quickly and pulled a girl in from outside the city gate with a flick of his wrist.
The girl in the dim light can still be seen with a slim and graceful figure. She is dressed in light-colored clothes, which is especially elegant at night.
Fang Genghou pulled her like this, and the girl almost fell in. Her figure was as light as a willow tree, as if she could fall down if the wind blew.
As she was pulled in, all the surrounding soldiers who were staring at the city gate were in some kind of tacit agreement, booing in unison, and some even whistled.
