The eldest grandson Mingyue outside the city quickly launched an attack after depositing it for a few days, which made Chen Zhi a little puzzled.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, Wei Muzhi, who was stationed at the junction of the Tianma River and Zihu, was going to wait until tomorrow to launch a surprise attack, and it happened that the eldest grandson Mingyue launched an attack today. Could there be some connection? Could it be that the plan of attack agreed between himself and Wei Muzhi has been discerned?

Now he can't attack for the time being, because so far, he hasn't gotten the details of the Wind Warriors outside the city, but he only knows that there are about 30,000 people.

Although he has gained some advantages in defending the city these days, he knows that the key to breaking the game is not in himself, but in reinforcements.

He quickly led the lieutenants and lieutenants to the city wall, only to see a dragon flag waving in the wind in the Chengfeng army outside the city, and nearly fifty catapults lined up.

"Everyone, watch the catapult!" He had a vague sense that something was wrong with the catapults.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, I saw that the enemy put stones on the catapult, poured fierce fire oil, and then the catapult was released, and countless fireballs fell from the sky and rushed straight to the city wall, the scene was extremely spectacular.

The lethality of these stones, which have been poured with fierce fire oil, cannot be compared.

On the city wall, there was a wail, and nearly a hundred soldiers defending the city were smashed and burned into flames.

He looked up at the sky, where the sun shone on the earth, and there was no sign of rain at all.

"Extinguish quickly!" Chen Zhi quickly ordered countless soldiers to carry water above the city walls and pour it on those burned places.

After a few rounds of stone throwing, the walls were filled with a sea of fire, and the water poured on the fierce fire oil not only did not control the fire, but burned more and more.

This kind of thing is usually used to make torches, and its output is very rare and expensive, and the eldest grandson Mingyue is used to siege the city, which he never expected.

"General, you can't go on like this." Tan Qihe opened his mouth and said, "The defense is too passive, it can't go on like this!" ”

Chen Zhi looked at the situation under the city, frowned, and ordered loudly, "Archer, suppress!" ”

The archers prepared to take their positions, and the arrows rained down into the catapult formation, causing many casualties and causing the catapult to fall silent for a while.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the catapult seemed to have been suppressed, and it was at that moment just now that he found that the catapult's position seemed to be much closer than when it was attacking the city before, and it was within the range of the archers.

It's no wonder that today's stones are much more powerful than the stones of the past, and not just because of the fire oil.

"Whew!" A long horn sounded under the battlefield, and then a tidal wave of soldiers poured out of the camp outside the city, and the siege battle began with great sound.

"General! The enemy army has officially attacked! Jiang Yiming's face changed and he said.

"Not good! They're here for real! "Judging from the soldiers who poured up, there were at least five thousand men, and there were three thousand cavalry to follow, intending to open the gap in Heyuan City, and then quickly charge.

On either side of the foot soldiers were a dozen or twenty carts, none of which were driving anything they didn't recognize.

Chen Zhi was a little frightened, he had analyzed the style of Sun Mingyue, the commander of the enemy army outside the city, and never liked to make fearless sacrifices, so he had always tried every means to capture the city at the lowest cost, and had never dispatched troops on such a large scale.

These soldiers and horses have at least accounted for forty percent of her total strength, she is real, and this time she plans to fight herself!

However, he didn't know that the eldest grandson Mingyue did not have 30,000 people, and these soldiers who went out of the battle were already all the troops, and now the large battalion of the Chengfeng Battalion was not left.

even let Shangguan Xiu's 2,000 people be mixed in to fill the shortage of troops.

In order to give Chen Zhi the illusion that he intends to attack in an all-out way.

But in any siege battle, there will be no such way of fighting. After all, who knows if there will be other people who will come to attack their camp, once the camp falls, it will cause a series of reactions, and after the defeat of the army, it will fall like a mountain, and there is no way to recover.

The eldest grandson Mingyue was able to grasp the dilemma that Chen Zhi couldn't send a spy at present, so he had a bold move.

It was clear that she succeeded.

"Transfer all the 2,000 people on the other side of the West City Gate!" At present, Chen Zhi knows that although the South City Gate has deployed heavy troops, it cannot deal with the "30,000 people" of the eldest grandson Mingyue, and he can only do everything possible to strengthen the strength of the South City Gate.

"But, General, there are only more than 2,000 soldiers on the West City Gate, what if the enemy army has troops at the West City Gate?" Tan Qihe asked with some concern.

"Impossible!" Chen Zhi replied calmly, "The direction of the West City Gate is full of mountains, if you want to attack from the West City Gate, the army of Changsun Mingyue must bypass the mountain, even if it is three thousand people, it is not so easy!" Although our spies can't get out of the city, if there are enemy troops on the mountain peak on the west gate, they will definitely be able to find it! So, I'm sure she has no intention of attacking Simon! ”

"Report!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a panicked voice.

Seeing this soldier running over in a hurry, his heart sank, and he muttered, "How is it possible, how is it possible?" ”

He seemed to have been hit hard, and fell back weakly, and Tan Qihe hurriedly supported him.

He stood firm, raised his hand and refused Tan Qihe's support, looked at the soldier who ran over with a somewhat pale face, and asked weakly, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

He recognized at a glance the number on the armor worn by this soldier, and it was a soldier of Simon's colonel.

Now, the soldier's appearance came in a hurry, which can only mean that something happened at the West City Gate.

The soldier cried and said, "General, there's an accident at the West Gate!"

"Say it! What's going on? ”

Tan Qihe looked at the crying soldiers, they all knew that there was a situation at the West City Gate, and they were still going around in circles here, not directly explaining, this is to kill people in a hurry?

"We were patrolling in Xicheng, and suddenly we heard a few muffled thunders, and all the people above the tun chief suddenly fell to the ground! Their helmets were pierced, and blood was scattered all over the floor. And with the thunder, every time it sounded, one person died. Now the people of Xicheng are hiding under the city wall, and they dare not look inside the city to check the situation outside the city, and they are in a mess. There is no one who can make an idea, so please send someone over quickly! ”

Chen Zhi was in a trance for a while, and his heart tightened.

Unexpectedly, he said that Xicheng would be safe and sound and would not be attacked, but the reality slapped him in the face.

"Didn't you find out what's going on?" Chen Zhi forced himself to calm down, if he sent troops to the West City Gate now, without knowing the situation, it was very likely that he would fall for the scheme. It's just that if you don't go, I'm afraid that the west gate will be threatened.

Therefore, if he can know how many enemy troops are currently outside the West City Gate and who is leading the army, maybe he can also make targeted arrangements.

"I don't know! No one dared to look out of the city! ”

"Is it true that there is not a single movement outside the city, and it is not possible to judge how many enemies there are from the pace and sound?" Tan Qihe frowned and asked.

"We didn't hear a single sound, and we couldn't tell how many people were outside the city!"

At this moment, another voice came, "The East City Gate is urgent!" The East City Gate is urgent! The East City Gate was attacked, and General Chen was asked to send troops to support! Please send troops to help! ”

Chen Zhi's face is like earth, is the eldest grandson Mingyue planning to attack from three sides?

"General! What to do? Tan Qihe was also a little panicked, Nancheng was attacked by a strong attack, and before the enemy's infantry attacked, there was a strong shield soldier who blocked the archers' arrow rain attack, resulting in the current defenders of Heyuan Mansion not killing many people.

And those infantry have already forced their way under the city walls to attack the newly renovated and still crumbling gates!

Chen Zhi forced himself to calm down, it turned out that this was the true strength of the eldest grandson Mingyue.

"There is no choice but to hold on!" Chen Zhi said, "I estimate that the eldest grandson Mingyue is planning to attack from three sides!" Judging from the current situation, there are 10,000 people here in the south, and the particularity of the west gate and the east gate should not exceed 5,000! Excluding the baggage and logistics, she should have less than 10,000 garrisons! As long as we can hold out until tomorrow when General Wei raids her camp, then we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory! ”

"But will General Wei really come?" Tan Qihe asked with some concern.

Chen Zhi's eyes looked in the direction of Zihu and said seriously, "I will definitely come!" With my knowledge of General Wei as a person, I am sure that he will definitely come! ”

Subsequently, he immediately ordered Jiang Yiming and Lu Wenqian to quickly bring 1,000 people each to support the east and west city gates, and be sure to find out the situation of the enemy troops outside the two city gates within an hour.

Although all the troops are currently concentrated in the south city gate, he cannot take the other city gates lightly.

The battle with the eldest grandson Mingyue in the past few days let him know that the other side is by no means mediocre, otherwise it would be impossible for Xuanyuan to determine the emperor to conquer in person, and completely hand over the power to the eldest grandson Mingyue.

Time passed bit by bit, and although the south gate was not breached for the time being, there were many losses, and it was almost a thousand people.

However, these people did not die from the hand-to-hand encounter, but from the injuries inflicted by the weapons on the carts, so far apart, that after a burst of fire, his people fell.

Although the shield was raised, the iron shield could not be blocked for long.

There was no good news from the east and west gates, and anyone who showed his head on the city wall would die immediately.

Jiang Yiming and Lu Wenqian both wrote a unique letter, saying that as long as they are alive, they will definitely defend the two city gates and not fall into the hands of the enemy!

It was getting late, but the Heyuan Mansion, which was swept by the war, was blazing red, and it was not shrouded in darkness at all.

In fact, after fighting for so long, Chen Zhi felt that the enemy's willingness to attack did not seem to be so strong, but deliberately created a huge attack, trying his best to ensure that there would not be much loss, which was also in line with the style of Changsun Mingyue.

Therefore, he thought that the eldest grandson Mingyue was creating pressure on him that the city was about to be breached.

While creating this pressure, he was reluctant to lose too many soldiers' lives, so he has not been able to break through the southern city gate.

After eating this character of the eldest grandson Mingyue, he immediately changed his defensive strategy, so that he could hold the city without losing many soldiers.

He felt that he had made the right bet, and that the enemy's attack had been halted and made no progress.

"Eldest grandson Mingyue, you miscalculated. If you are willing to sacrifice some more soldiers, maybe the South City Gate will not last so long! As long as General Wei comes tomorrow, you will be finished! Chen Zhi was not so flustered in his heart at this time, and arranged defensive tactics in an orderly manner.

It's just that he just finished arranging defensive tactics and was about to go to rest, but he received bad news again.

Although he can hold the city for the time being, there is a problem in Heyuan Mansion that he can't solve.

The people panicked!

In the past, the siege of the city had never been so fierce, which made the people in the city more and more panicked, and the sense of security they had built up with great difficulty disappeared without a trace.

Since nightfall, hundreds of people have carried parcels on their backs, pushed carts, and driven cattle and horses to the north city gate!

They don't have Chen Zhi's vision, they think that Heyuan Mansion is in danger, and if they don't leave at this time, they won't be able to leave.

"General! Send me to the north gate and stop the people? If there is a large-scale exodus of the people, it will inevitably lead to civil strife in the whole city, and the morale of the soldiers will be greatly affected! Tan Qihe said.

Chen Zhi sat weakly on the stool, feeling like he was lacking in skills.

"No need, you can't stop it!" He said helplessly.

He finally understood what kind of trick the eldest grandson Mingyue used.

She was worried that the loss of her troops was only one thing, and most importantly, she wanted to create a continuous sense of oppression in Heyuan Mansion, and it was not until the evening that it broke out.

"Why? The end will pass, and the people will be able to stop the escape! Tan Qihe asked puzzled.

"Do you think that the people fled on such a large scale because they fled spontaneously? And bring those cattle and sheep and the like, and really get to the point where you have to escape, and you can still take care of these livestock? ”

"General, what do you mean?"

"The eldest grandson Mingyue must have arranged many spies in the city to encourage the people to flee! Not only that, but he also took the lead in bringing livestock, which caused chaos in the whole city! ”

"This ...... General, what should I do? I'm going to arrest those leaders? ”

Chen Zhi shook his head and said weakly, "There is no solution." This is a dignified conspiracy! I'm running out of tricks too! Heyuan Mansion, it's over......"

"General...... I didn't expect this eldest grandson Mingyue to be so vicious as a woman, isn't she afraid that we will kill the people of Heyuan Mansion? Xuanyuan is the emperor, it is impossible not to know the importance of the people, right? She did this, and Xuanyuan Ding didn't stop it! is also a dog emperor who doesn't care about the life and death of the people! ”

"Forget it! Go and gather them together, I have something to say to them. ”

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared on the city wall.

"Husband......
