After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding darkness seemed to turn into a sticky black substance, making the people on the city wall feel a little depressed.
I don’t know who it was, but suddenly shouted:
"Look! What is that?"
Everyone who had been napping just now suddenly woke up and stood up to look outside.
I saw some light floating in the darkness.
Someone swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly:
"Yes, is it a will-o'-the-wisp?"
After everyone heard the words, they felt that the sticky feeling around them became stronger and seemed to have solidified.
The governor looked at it and said:
"What a will-o'-the-wisp! The Kunyu National Army is coming, that's a torch!"
When everyone took a closer look, they saw that it was not a torch. The will-o'-the-wisp was bluish-white, instead of a warm orange-red.
This time the frozen feeling was gone, and they started to move, ready to attack and be attacked.
But, gradually, the people on the city wall became a little confused. It seemed that there were not many torches. Didn't it mean there were tens of thousands of people? Why did it feel like there were only ten thousand people?
The governor was also very confused and turned to look at a few scouts. The scouts had nothing to say. They were clearly looking for tens of thousands of people.
The general said to the governor:
"Could it be a trick to deliberately make us think there are not many people in order to lure us out of the city? It's night now, and we can only judge the number through torches, but we can't see clearly."
The governor suddenly understood, and the scouts also relaxed and bowed to the general in their hearts.
When the distance was about the same, the general ordered to use rocket arrows to light a large bonfire under the city. A circle of bonfires was instantly lit under the city wall to prevent Kunyu's army from taking advantage of the darkness and touching the city wall.
Among the advancing Kunyu army, Ning Xu and Ning Hui had long since disappeared. The leader was Lei Heng, and the number of troops was greatly reduced. Only Hou Mo and Chen Chong were left among the two men responsible for escorting the baggage.
When they were approaching the city, Lei Heng ordered them to disperse, and the generals led their teams away as agreed.
The governor and general on the city wall saw that the torches were scattered, and there were even fewer torches left. Looking at the direction in which the torches were scattered, the general slapped his thigh:
"They want to besiege the city! Do they want to surround us here?"
He's dead before the fight even starts. Doesn't this boost the enemy's morale and destroy your own prestige?
The governor glared at the general:
"They don't have many people to begin with. If they are separated like this, each city gate will be assigned fewer troops, and they still want to surround us?! Although Kunyu Kingdom is stronger, they are so overestimating their own capabilities.
No matter how tough you are, you will still lose! It seems that the leader of the army this time is not a veteran of Kunyu Kingdom." He sneered, "He is training newbies in our Yinping Kingdom! He looks down on us too much!"
After everyone heard the words and thought about it again, it seemed that it was indeed the case. They were immediately filled with indignation and their morale was mobilized.
The general wiped his hands with cold sweat. His gaffe just now almost made a big mistake. He looked gratefully at the governor who glared at him.
Although the governor said this, he was not at ease at all. Although the veteran generals of Kunyu Kingdom were powerful and all of them were well-known, the newly-grown generals were not vegetarians either. They thought over and over in their minds about what they were going to do.
Lei Heng had been waiting for time. Hou Mo and Chen Chong looked at the sky and said to him:
"The appointed time is coming soon."
Lei Heng looked up at the sky and nodded to Marquis Mo Chen Chong.
When the time was up, Lei Heng gave the order to the messengers. The fast and passionate drums quickly resounded through the sky. The shouts of killing were heard from everywhere outside the city, and the soldiers in the city were shaken by the sound.
The governor also ordered to prepare a counterattack, but where to attack? Kunyu's crossbows have a farther range than bows and arrows. Even if the bows and arrows can shoot straight, it is in vain if the Kunyu army does not enter the shooting range. Even if the bows and arrows can shoot straight, they have to order attention.
Protect yourself and don't expose yourself to the enemy.
Kunyu's army did not enter the range of bows and arrows. They stood in a safe place and shot fireballs at the city walls. This was done at every city gate. The soldiers were not busy fighting, but busy putting out fires.
I originally thought that the Kunyu Kingdom would need a good fight to calm down, but after releasing a few waves of fireballs, it became quiet. Everyone looked carefully outside the city, and the darkness outside the city returned to the previous darkness.
The fire was put out, and there was a big bonfire crackling under the city wall. Everyone really thought they had just seen an illusion.
The general wiped his blackened face and remembered it this time. He came close to the governor and asked quietly:
"Sir, what is Kun Yuguo going to do?"
The governor also hoped that someone could answer his question, but unfortunately, no one knew what Kun Yuguo was going to do.
After waiting for a long time, everyone in Kunyu Kingdom was quiet, and everyone took the time to sleep.
After daybreak, everyone looked out and saw a large number of tents on the opposite side, which surrounded the city. The governor was glad at this time that he did not rush out because he saw few torches last night. If he had rushed out last night, the city would have been destroyed today.
broken.
The soldiers fought... No, no, they put out the fire for a long time at night. Now that it was dawn, they all got up again and prepared for today's hard battle. However, after waiting and waiting, there was no movement on the side of Kunyu Kingdom.
If it weren't for the patrols, everyone would think those tents were empty.
The general and the governor are really going crazy now. What on earth is Kun Yuguo going to do? They arrived in the middle of the night and had a fight. They are already up to three hours a day, and they are still quietly. Could it be that they are catching up on sleep?
That's right, Kun Yuguo is really catching up on his sleep. Anyway, the city is surrounded. Those who leave can't get out and those who enter can't get in. The rest are not in a hurry. If there is no hurry, why bother with two pandas?
Fighting with your eyes open? It’s better to sleep peacefully.
At noon, there was finally movement in the camp of Kunyu Kingdom. Everyone rubbed their sleepy eyes and came out to wash themselves and eat. The soldiers on the city wall also carried rice bowls and slurped rice into their mouths. However, what they ate was
Not leisurely at all, the army of Kunyu Kingdom finally woke up, so is there another battle?
The general shouted while eating:
"Don't eat too much, it will affect you during the battle!"
The soldiers emptied the food into their stomachs, grabbed their weapons and guarded the crenellations, nervously observing the movements of Kunyu's camp.
Looking at the troops of Kunyu Kingdom, they washed up leisurely, finished their meals carefully and slowly, and then stood around outside the city wall, talking to each other.
The general felt like he was going to vomit blood. Did the Kunyu army treat them like monkeys? This was the first time that they had been so useless in a war!
The troops of Kunyu Kingdom looked at the "monkeys" for a while, and then dispersed. Those who continued to maintain their weapons maintained their weapons. Those who continued to rest went back to their tents to continue resting. Those who chatted gathered together to chat. The soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded. Kun
Is Yu Guo here to fight, or is he here to take a walk and enjoy the scenery?! Hey, there are still a lot of people here waiting to fight with you!
The governor also felt helpless, Master Zhuo did not come, but with this abnormal fighting style, it felt as if Master Zhuo was in the opposite camp.
The governor widened his eyes and looked across to see if Mr. Zhuo was there. However, after looking for a long time, his eyes were chilled by the wind.
Helpless, it lasted until dark. The soldiers planned to eat and go to bed early. The day after day was very tiring.
They gathered together in twos and threes, chatting about today's worries while eating.
The general and the governor also talked about Kunyu's army, but they were not as optimistic as the soldiers. They were worried about whether there would be a night attack.
The big bonfire under the city had long been burned out, so it was impossible for them to go out of the city to set it up. Moreover, there wasn't much firewood in the city, so they had to use it sparingly.
The general took a bite of the steamed bun and said:
"Kun Yuguo is not planning to attack at night. Attacking at night has some benefits for them."
The governor looked worriedly outside the city and saw that the troops of Kunyu State were also eating. However, the atmosphere of the meal was obviously better than theirs. They were very happy and did not look like they were fighting at all.
He sighed secretly and pushed a plate of dishes in front of the general:
"Don't think so much. Eat your fill first. We are already nervous enough. We can't be hungry anymore. Otherwise, we won't be able to survive for long."
The general sighed and ate silently with the governor.
After taking two bites, the general said:
"We shouldn't be guarding in the city, we should go out and fight them! They only have tens of thousands of people, divided into various city gates, and there aren't many in each city gate. With our strength, we should concentrate on killing them first and wait for their reinforcements.
Come here, we have finished killing them. As long as the Kunyu National Army in other places moves, we can attack from both front and back. If we deal with a group first, the pressure will be less."
The governor shook his head:
"Kunyu Kingdom has never won wars with numbers. They use weapons. Those weird weapons have repeatedly created almost zero deaths. Not only did they have zero deaths, but the troops fighting them also had almost zero deaths.
Relying on the protection of the city wall, we can still hold on with them for a while. When reinforcements are transferred from the city in front, we can attack from both front and back. However, we must not leave the city now. If we leave the city, we will be defeated."
The general waved his hand disapprovingly:
"You are too cautious. The Kun Yu Kingdom has been surrounding us for a whole day and has done nothing. This shows that they have a shortcoming. I think this must be because they do not have enough troops. Why don't we take advantage of this opportunity to drive the Kun Yu Kingdom back?
?Maybe we can also break through their walled city."
The governor disagreed with his view.
The two were arguing when they heard several bangs and bangs. A question popped up in their minds at the same time: What happened? But before this question was fully formed in their minds, they saw the top of the tower on the city wall being smashed out.
After digging several holes, the soldiers in the room escaped one after another, all rustic and panicked.
The first reaction of the governor and the general was to climb to the crenel and look at the Kunyu State camp. What they thought was that such destructive power could not be caused by crossbows. Could it be that they spent the whole day waiting for the siege machine?
!
But after climbing the crenel and looking at it for a long time, the sky was a little dark now, but not to the point where I couldn't see anything clearly. In the dimness, I could be sure that there was no siege machine in the Kunyu Kingdom camp. So, such a huge destructive power
Where did it come from?
The two of them turned to look at the damaged tower, and then looked at each other. Neither of them could explain anything to the other.
