In the actions of the Shenwu Army, Fang Xuan, as half an outsider, did not participate in power, and he also maintained considerable restraint after gradually identifying with Qin Jin. But not being able to smell is one thing, caring or not is another. After using up the very simple military food, he lay down on the military couch and turned to his side. One is because of the gradually obvious swelling pain in the abdomen, the military food in the Shenwu Army is baked bread in advance, and then soaked in hot water to soften it when eating. The second is the group of people who are always thinking about leaving the city after nightfall.

However, the expected sound of fighting and the sound of war drums did not appear. The silence of the barracks after nightfall was as deathly silent, and not even the sound of frogs that had not been extinguished in the past did not appear. At dawn, Fang Xuan finally fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took, a series of rapid bells woke him up from his sleep.

Maybe it was because I woke up suddenly, but as soon as I opened my eyes, I already found that I was sweating all over my body, and my middle clothes were so wet that I could almost wring out water.

After the initial trance, Fang Xuan came to his senses, this is the morning bell of the Shenwu army, after the bell, all the generals must complete the account and eat within two quarters of an hour. Fortunately, Fang Xuan is not bound by this kind of military law, and as soon as the morning bell rings, someone will bring him today's breakfast.

Breakfast was simple, the same as last night's, hard and stone-like dough, and a large earthenware bowl full of hot water.

After the almost dehydrated dough is baked, it can be stored for at least seven or eight days without spoiling even in the middle of summer, which is the standard military food of the vast majority of **. But the Shenwu army is different from various details.

Among the guards that Fang Xuan came into contact with, only the Shenwu Army provided boiling hot water to all the soldiers in the army.

Water can be eaten hot and cold, if it is just to increase the comfort of eating, then Qin Jin is too fussful.

Fang Xuan broke the dough into several large pieces and put them in the steaming pottery bowl, and before he could move the chopsticks, he saw Qin Jin open the curtain and walk in.

Qin Jin had only slept for less than two hours that night, and he had almost just fallen asleep before he hurried up again. However, although he slept less, his eyes were still shining, as if he had endless energy.

"I just heard the miscellaneous officers in the army say that Xianggong has a bad complexion, but is there anything uncomfortable?"

Of course Qin Jin wouldn't come here to gossip without anything, after all, Fang Xuan was an old man in his fifties, and he had experienced the blow of defeat, he didn't want this person to fall ill in the Shenwu Army.

"I didn't sleep well last night, it's fine, Dr. Lao is concerned. However, since the doctor asked, the old man really has something on his mind, so it's not easy to ask!"

"What does the minister care about, just ask, if it's convenient, it's all about it!"

So, Fang Xuan briefly told the story of seeing the group of people and horses mysteriously out of the camp last night, and he didn't hear any movement all night, he really couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Qin Jin's gourd.

Qin Jin laughed after hearing this, it turned out that Fang Xuan was in a hurry for this matter, and suddenly the mischievous mind surged, and he planned to hang this person's appetite, and he was noncommittal.

"Xiang Gong will follow Qin to the front of the battle to watch the battle after eating a good meal!"

"Huh!?"

The answer made Fang Xuan inexplicable, but his heart was even more itchy, and he just wanted to know as soon as possible what kind of medicine was sold in Qin Jin's gourd.

After snoring and eating the hot water cake, Fang Xuan wiped the water stains on the side of his mouth.

"Let's go, the old man will go to the front of the battle with the doctor now!"

The two of them went out of the military tent one after the other, and Fang Xuan suddenly remembered a question, that is, why the army had to spend time and effort providing hot water for every meal.

Qin Jin gave the answer very happily this time.

"There are thousands of insects in the water, which are difficult to identify with the naked eye, and there are many of them that can cause people to get sick. If you boil the water, you will kill more than ninety percent of ......."

At a distance of three or five miles, the longitudinal horse arrived immediately, and Qin Jin's banner appeared in front of the formation, which immediately aroused cheers like a tide.

However, Fang Xuan was dumbfounded, because the expected battle scene did not appear, and a large number of people were carrying baskets to resist the shovel, interspersed with busy outside the city, and they were actually filling the trenches that were less than half completed.

Fang Xuan asked in surprise:

"When did the doctor recruit a lot of people?"

Qin Jin replied indifferently:

"Take it from a thief, use it for a thief!"

Fang Xuan thought to himself: Could it be that those people who quietly came out of the camp last night were arrested?

Qin Jin turned his head and glanced at Fang Xuan, and explained:

"The Xin'an city wall is long and narrow from east to west, narrow from north to south, and there are more of these trenches in front of the wall of about three miles, and it is difficult for the army to perform, and these trenches can be filled in to make the siege more smooth!"

The expected battlefield actually became a construction site, Fang Xuan only felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat absurd, but if he was asked to make specific accusations, he couldn't say why.

In a daze, I suddenly heard a burst of exclamations in front of me, and it was actually the Xin'an Pass City that began to release arrows, and many people were caught off guard and fell to the ground with arrows.

However, the rain of arrows lasted only three or two rounds, because the people in the city found that as long as the people hid in the trenches and leaned to the side of the city, the crossbow arrows could not hurt them in the slightest. On the contrary, the constant release of arrows from the city will only make it consume the arrows in vain.

Perhaps the thieves in the city did not want to waste their arrows on the people, and only fired three or two rounds from time to time as a harassment, and there was nothing else to do.

"Doctor Qin, the old man has a sentence that I don't like, but I still have to say it!"

"It's okay to be public, Qin listens. ”

"The battle of Xin'an Guancheng, it should be fast rather than slow, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that I will repeat the mistakes of the old man......"

Fang Xuan's voice trembled when he spoke, and it was obvious that his heart was also fluctuating violently.

Qin Jin seemed to be very sure, and said calmly:

"Within three days, Xin'an Guancheng will go down, and Xianggong dares Qin to make a bet?"

Seeing that he was so confident, Fang Xuan almost thought that he was talking big, with Xin'an's current situation, even if the most elite army in the world was here, it would be difficult to capture it within three days. But Qin Jin is a rising star in the famous pass, and the Shenwu army he leads is also the only one who has defeated the rebels head-on, this kind of words come from his mouth, he really can't imagine that this is nonsense.

"If the doctor can really recover within three days, the old man will lose willingly! It's just that the old man can't afford to pay the bet......

Qin Jin was actually joking with Fang Xuan, and he just waved his hand and smiled:

"The old man just needs to wait for the good news!"

Until the sky gradually darkened, the Shenwu army watched the people fill the trench in front of the battle all day long, and looking at this posture, it seemed that it would take another three or two days to completely fill it. Because if it is a simple excavation, it is even a matter of taking soil from a distance and filling it in the trench, which greatly slows down the progress.

As the sound of Mingjin resounded in the sky outside the city, the Shenwu army gathered its troops. Fang Xuan followed Qin Jin back to the barracks in a huff.

At the same time, the guard in Xin'an City, Ling Fox Chao, is also the second monk is confused, the trench outside Xin'an City is only half dug, even if it is not filled, the Shenwu army can calmly bypass it, it is just a little more troublesome than usual, and the efficiency is a little lower, so as not to consume food to feed the thousands of people who were captured back to fill it up, right?

In the end, Ling Hu Chao came to the conclusion from all kinds of speculations, either Qin Jinlang had a false name, or this person was delaying time and had other tricks.

Of the two possibilities, he prefers the latter.

However, the field battle may be able to win by cunning and ingenuity, and the only way to attack the fortification is the hard fight of real swords and guns, as long as he raises his vigilance, can Qin Jin still play flowers and go to the sky?

Thinking about it according to this line of thought, Ling Fox Chao's mood turned from apprehension to excitement and even pride.

I am afraid that Qin Jin is also poor in donkey skills, and he is unwilling to consume the already small number of descendants in the siege battle. However, it is not a way to watch the Shenwu army fill the trench like this, but it is a pity that at the beginning of defending the city, Linghu Chao ordered people to seal the city gate, and completely blocked the dangerous river valley north of the city.

In this way, although the Shenwu army was blocked, they also blocked themselves in the city and couldn't get out, otherwise taking this opportunity to send some people out of the city to harass them would seriously slow down their progress in filling the trenches. And the longer the battle of Xin'an offensive and defensive drags on, the more beneficial it will be for them.

After several measurements, Ling Fox Chao decided to dig up the blocked West City Gate tomorrow and send troops out of the city to harass him.

……

In the middle of the night, Fang Xuan was suddenly awakened by the military officials, and he asked the reason casually. However, the military officials only said that Dr. Qin invited him to observe the important military situation. As for what happened, Fang Xuan asked in depth, but the military officials only answered.

After a simple clean-up and out of the military tent, Fang Xuan was immediately taken aback. Because although there are only a few wind lanterns lit in the barracks, in the dark night, there are densely packed soldiers in full armor.

Suddenly, Fang Xuan, who was still a little confused, was completely awakened by the scene in front of him, could it be that Qin Jin was going to attack Xin'an City at night?

This is a great defence to common sense, not to mention the fact that it is difficult to see at night, and it is not easy to climb the walls without hindrance. Even if the Shenwu Army had the advantage of launching a sudden attack, this advantage would inevitably be gradually reversed with the awakening of the Xin'an traitors.

Although Fang Xuan admits that he is inferior to Qin Jin in military affairs, the current situation does not seem to be a wise move.

Thinking of this, Fang Xuan decided to ask Qin Jin for a clear understanding, but he couldn't find him when he searched left and right.

"Where is Doctor Qin?"

The officer who was with him replied:

"The doctor has already left the camp first, and I ask the minister to move and go with the general. ”

"What's the point, let's go!"

Fang Xuan was so anxious that he got on the war horse and was about to leave the gate, but was stopped by the military officer.

"The doctor has a military order, the war horse must be chewed well when it comes out of the camp, and the horse's hooves are wrapped up, please don't embarrass the general......"

Fang Xuan also knew that the Shenwu Army was in a lot of trouble, so he turned over and dismounted again, and let the military officer be busy near the left side of the war horse.
