At the head of the Great South Gate City, Zhou Yuji, Cai Maode and other civil and military officers had solemn faces, and some even had a hint of panic.

Li Zicheng is not a vegetarian either, Chang Yu froze the southern city wall overnight, and his backhand is a dumpling!

He used all the troops at hand to surround Taiyuan City with cannon fodder, success or failure in this move, this is the real big deal!

And what makes Chang Yu the most headache, under the cover of such a dark night, there are dense thief armies all around, and until the moment of the real siege, you can't tell which side is the cannon fodder, which side is the thief soldiers, which side is the feint, and that side is the main attack.

Chang Yu looked outside the city and squinted in silence, and Zhou Yuji was busy ordering the guards at the city gates to closely monitor the movements of the thief army, trying to see the clues from some details.

However, Cai Maode and other civil officials were not so calm and looked panicked, after all, they had never seen such a big battle.

"Xicheng Moat...... Impossible, it is impossible to ...... behind the north gate," Chang Yu closed his eyes and pressed his temples with his hands in his mouth, muttering in his mouth.

"The South Gate and the East Gate are still the best possible...... But what if the thief army besieges at the same time......" Chang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to meet Zhou Yuji's gaze.

"Is this possible?" Chang Yu asked with a heavy breath.

Zhou Yuji exhaled a few long breaths: "The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, everything is possible, but if this is the case......"

"But if this is the case, although it is tricky, it also means that the thief is at the end of his rope, and he has started gambling again!" Chang Yu sneered.

Seeing Chang Yu's expression, Zhou Yuji didn't know how to answer for a while, but felt that the eunuch in front of him was becoming more and more incomprehensible.

His purpose was to let the thieves retreat, but Chang Yu repeatedly insisted on luring the enemy to attack the city, taking advantage of the high walls of Taiyuan City to take the opportunity to cripple Li Zicheng.

The purpose is different, and the vision and pattern of the two people are destined to be different, and the things they think about are even more different.

The torches outside the moat of the southern city were dense, illuminating the night sky, and Cai Maode lay on the battlements and sighed repeatedly: "The devil knows whether there are homeless people or thieves under this torch, and who knows if they are three people holding one torch or one person holding three torches......

Li Zicheng did this trick beautifully, and it was obvious that he had mastered the rhythm again.

However, how could Chang Yu be led by his nose as he wished, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly ordered all the artillery to be transported to Xicheng to bombard the moat.

The decision came as a surprise to everyone, but it didn't take long for everyone to react.

The moat outside the west city is the main trunk of the Fen River, just shell the river, once the river ice breaks through, it is a natural barrier, the thief army is very tricky regardless of whether it advances or retreats, except for bypassing the south gate, so that the west city and even the north city can be excluded as the main attack point.

Moreover, when the thief was deploying troops, he suddenly opened fire, which would definitely catch the opponent off guard and be confused, so that his rhythm would be out of order.

The artillery on the city had originally been placed at the southeast of the city, and at this time, Chang Yu gave a military order, and these big guys were hurriedly transported to the west city.

The artillery is about two tons at every turn, and it is extremely inconvenient to carry it, but at this time, the military situation is urgent, Chang Yu ordered all activities in the city to make way for the artillery, and soon ten red-coated cannons were transported to Xicheng in less than half an hour.

At the sound of an order, ten artillery pieces fired in unison, shattering the night, waking up the people in the city and terrifying the thieves outside the city.

In particular, the thieves outside the west city were assembling along the moat at this time, and some of them were marching across the river towards the north gate......

Sure enough...... Uh, how did it all fall on the river?

As Chang Yu expected, this fluctuation really made Li Zicheng frown, but then turned his head and smiled at Niu Jinxing and the others.

After a stick of incense, the sound of cannons in the city gradually died out, and the surface of the Fen River outside the city was already sparkling, and the thief army obviously had a commotion and retreated far away, while a small part of the thief army who had crossed the river also hurriedly detoured back.

However, the thief army in the south and east of the city is still assembling in an orderly manner, just looking at the torches makes people's hearts tremble, Li Zicheng gave everything to the siege of the city this time!

On the southwest corner of the building, Chang Yu and the others climbed high and looked left and right, and their eyebrows were extremely solemn.

The Fen River broke the ice and became a moat, but it was really strange that the thieves who had gathered outside did not move.

"It's suspicious, why should they take a detour at this time, but they don't move?" Zhou Yuji also couldn't understand it.

Let's take a look and talk about it, maybe it's just a trick, Chang Yu also can't understand it, but what should be done at the moment has been done, the thief army is besieging the city on all sides at this time, and he also dispatched troops to deal with it on all sides, the deputy commander-in-chief should be in the east city, Cai Maode is in the west city, Wang Jimo is in the north city, and the south city is handed over to Zhou Yuji.

"Let's go......" After waiting for another half pillar of incense, the thief army outside Xicheng was still motionless, Chang Yu waved his hand and turned around and went downstairs.

"But ......" Zhou Yuji pointed to the thieves outside the West City.

"Bait!" Chang Yu directly interrupted him, at this time he could be sure that Li Zicheng's army outside Xicheng was just playing tricks, and the purpose was to attract attention, make you feel restless, and suffer from gains and losses.

Otherwise, there was no other explanation, Chang Yu didn't believe that they could brave the wind and float across the Fen River to attack the city. And it is highly likely that the thieves hidden under these torches are actually just some cannon fodder.

Have you started to wit Lao Tzu? Descending from the corner tower, the cold wind at the head of the city was very fierce, Chang Yu glanced out, sneered on his face, and then turned over and got on the horse, as expected, the thieves still attacked the two cities in the southeast!

On the far gate of the north town, Yang Zhenwei stared at the city with a murderous face, countless torches under the city were flashing, people and horses were neighing under the torches, and there were still thieves in the northwest who crossed the Fen River and gathered here one after another.

"General Yang, in your opinion, will the thief army attack the city on all sides at the same time?" Wang Jimo looked at everything under the city with a solemn face.

Although Wang Jimo is now an empty shelf, after all, he is the governor of Xuanda on the surface, and he is really Yang Zhenwei's boss, and he is several levels higher, so he does not dare to slack off.

"Lord Hui, in the opinion of the last general, it is very likely, you look at the battle of the thief army, it doesn't seem to be just a show."

Wang Jimo nodded slightly, and sighed heavily: "Taiyuan City is in danger"

"My lord, please rest assured, the last general and General He will definitely defend the northern city and not let the thief army take a step forward!"

Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin were ordered to guard the Zhenyuan Gate and Gongji Gate in Beicheng respectively.

Wang Jimo glanced sideways at him, and suddenly asked, "Can you be on the side when Jiang Zongbing died in Datong?" ”

Yang Zhenwei was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what he wanted: "Back to my lord, at that time, I had already led the troops on the way to Taiyuan, and I didn't know anything about Datong!" ”

Pushing it so cleanly, Wang Jimo's eyes were cold, Yang Zhenwei's words showed that he didn't want to wade into troubled waters, and as Jiang Huang's former general, he didn't want to have nothing to do.

The thief army is still assembling, and a full hour and a half have passed since the initial warning of the officers and soldiers, and the thief army still has not moved.

At this time, Taiyuan City was surrounded by bright torches, like an isolated island besieged by mountain fires.

As Wang Jimo said, the danger is at stake!

Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji went from Xicheng to the Great South Gate to watch with Cai Maode for a while, and then went to the Little South Gate (Cheng'en Gate)

Who knew that as soon as he arrived at the small south gate, he saw Zhu Xianxuan hurriedly going to the city, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What are you doing?" ”

"The thief army is besieging the city, Taiyuan is in danger, is it possible for this king to drink tea and listen to music in the house? Naturally, you have to go to the city to kill the enemy! Zhu Xianxuan straightened his chest and said with a proud face.

Hold the grass, this forced the acting skills to become more and more exquisite, and I saw that I knew that it was too embarrassing during the day, so I came to find the field.

Chang Yu smiled secretly, walked up to him and whispered, "How could the queen agree to let you come out?" ”

"I came out secretly" Zhu Xianxuan touched his nose and glanced at Zhou Yuji, who seemed to be smiling not far away.

"Won't the little county lord come with him?" Chang Yu looked behind him, but there were only a few family members.

Zhu Xianxuan waved his hand, it was too dangerous here, how could she come over, and he glanced out of the city as he spoke, and his face instantly became very embarrassed: "So many!" ”

"This is only the tip of the iceberg, the thieves are besieging the city this time, and it is the same outside the four cities and eight gates," Chang Yu walked beside him and said lightly.

"Ahh ...... on all sides" Zhu Xianxuan was shocked, his legs were weak, and he took a few steps back and almost fell.

Chang Yu stretched out his hand to support him: "Lord Wang, you won't pee your pants."

"You ......" Zhu Xianxuan snorted, pushed Chang Yu away and said, "What is there to be afraid of?" Doesn't this king seem to be a person who has never seen a big scene? ”

"Yes, our family likes your serious appearance" Chang Yu sneered, and then ordered someone to bring a set of armor clothes for Zhu Xianxuan to wear.

In the blink of an eye, a handsome king of the second generation turned into a heroic young general, and Chang Yu secretly admired it, handsome!

"Tonight, our family will take the prince to see what a real big scene is" Chang Yu patted Zhu Xianxuan on the shoulder.

Zhu Xianxuan swallowed hard: "Do you have a thicker armor?" ”

Li Zicheng poured all his troops to besiege the city of Taiyuan, the momentum was monstrous, Chang Yuzi did not dare to slack off, while dispatching troops to let the generals guard the gates, while mobilizing all kinds of war preparations to transport to the city, and at the same time ordered the prefect Sun Kangzhou to make every effort to maintain stability and ensure that the city was not chaotic.

Chang Yu took Zhu Xianxuan, together with Zhou Yuji, and the three of them to inspect the east along the city wall to check whether the troops were defending and whether the combat readiness was in place.

When Kankan walked to the southeast corner of the city, a herald came to report that the thieves outside the west city had moved!

Hehe, I can't go on! Chang Yu sneered!

"Report to the lord, the Xicheng thief army made a detour to the north and south and gathered under the city" It didn't take long for the herald to report again!

Gather under the city? Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and then shouted: "Prepare for war!" ”

As if it was for Ying and Chang Yu, just when his roar didn't fall, boom boom...... The sound of intense artillery tore through the night sky!

The thieves have begun to attack!
