Millions of soldiers attacked the city overnight and finally succeeded in occupying the city wall, but because the enemy's reinforcements blocked the inner stairs of the lower city wall, coupled with endless crossbow arrows, they were finally defeated and retreated.

Neither Chen He nor Mu Yong would tell the soldiers that this battle was originally an attempt, or that it was to dispel some of Yan Shixun's doubts and pave the way for the next attack, otherwise, they would really be sorry for the morale of the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy.

In the face of Chen He's praise, the soldiers in the rear military camp felt ashamed, because they still failed to take the south gate in the end.

Chen He saw that the soldiers in the rear camp suffered heavy casualties, and did not delay much, and immediately asked people to heal their wounds and let them recuperate, and he summoned the two major military divisions and Mu Yong, and the four of them entered the camp tent and began to discuss the next siege matters.

In Daosheng City, after a night of fighting, the city head was lost for nearly half an hour, and the casualties naturally did not need to be said, all the crossbowmen on the city were killed, although the ironclad soldiers did not die much, but there were also many injured limbs and broken legs, in general, overnight, nearly a quarter of the casualties of the special troops, plus the losses of the previous few days, Yan Shixun felt that the special troops under his command were a little insufficient.

"Isn't there a single reinforcement army coming from the surrounding cities?" Yan Shixun asked with a gloomy face, it has not been ten days, and the loss of the special troops has already exceeded one-third, this is because they have a rotation, if there is no rotation, the loss of the special troops, I am afraid that it will be even greater, so he urgently needs reinforcements from the surrounding cities.

"Yan Zhangshi, according to the scout's report, Chen He's army has arranged a lot of obstacles outside, so almost none of the letters asking for help can be sent!"

"These guys, even if they don't receive a letter asking for help, but they don't know that Daosheng City is in danger now, won't they take the initiative to send reinforcements!" Yan Shixun gritted his teeth and said, to be honest, he was very annoyed by the ignorance of the surrounding cities.

"Yan Zhangshi, it's Chen He outside, who single-handedly caused the current crisis in the Daosheng Temple, just ask those guys outside, how do they have the courage to provoke Chen He's army!" For Yan Shixun's anger, others also understood, but understanding was useless, because they asked themselves, if they were in the position of the city lord outside, they would not send troops, because sending troops would mean being wiped out.

"Hey, today's city, let the special troops occupy a dangerous position, and at the same time send one-third of the ordinary soldiers to the city wall, it's only been five days, and there are still more than twenty days, so you have to calm down!" After Yan Shixun finished complaining, he also knew that it would never be better to rely on himself than to rely on others, so he made arrangements again.

Naturally, others would not oppose Yan Shixun's arrangement, because in the past few days of fighting, they all realized that Yan Shixun really has the ability, just like last night, if it were them, they would never decisively give up the city, and then block the way down the city, supplemented by the crossbowmen, and take the city back!

In the battle last night, the soldiers of the rear army camp were exhausted, Chen He ordered them to rest temporarily and withdrew from the siege sequence, but the others were not idle, and continued to attack the city under the command of Mu Yong, although they repeatedly attacked the city, but they were finally defeated.

They firmly believe that as long as they go to the city, they can open up a solid front for the soldiers, and then seize the city, and then capture the city gate, but they were all vetoed by Chen He, because how to open the city gate is a difficult problem.

No matter how fierce the fierce general is, there are people on the other side who can entangle them, supplemented by the arrows of the crossbowmen, one is not good, the fierce general will become a fierce sauce, this is not what Chen He originally intended to see, plus he is also waiting, waiting for Yan Shixun's reinforcements to enter the city, once they enter the city, they will definitely not be sent to the city head for the first time, but there will be a short repair, this time they are more as a reserve, so that as long as they can take the city again, under the combination of inside and outside, they can smoothly attack the city, As long as a steady stream of armies entered the city through the walls, the opening of the gates was just around the corner.

After a day of fighting, the two sides ceased again, Yan Shixun sat in the study a little tired, studying the future situation, Feng San pushed the door and walked in, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, my subordinates have found that several fierce generals under Chen He have never participated in the siege of the city, and it seems that a big war is brewing, and last night's night attack is probably also paving the way for the next big war!" ”

Yan Shixun nodded, he also knew that there were several fierce generals under Chen He's command, which was also what he was focused on, but Chen He had never used them, so his preparation had been useless, but he was very relieved that Feng San had also seen this.

"Feng San, once the opponent's fierce generals participate in the siege, you only need to do a little, don't support your own martial arts, but cooperate with others, and focus on killing the opponent's fierce generals, if you focus on one person, although you drag one person, but it is not of much use to the overall situation, can you do it?" Yan Shixun looked at Feng San and said seriously.

"Rest assured, although my subordinates really want to compete with the other party's fierce generals, they also know the priorities, and the top priority is that they must not lose the South City Gate!" Feng San nodded and said.

"Feng San, I've wronged you!" Yan Shixun got up and walked in front of Feng San, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a pity that I haven't recruited special troops in order to keep a low profile all these years, otherwise, for the sake of war, I can also surpass the army to compete with Chen He!" ”

"Lord, it's true that you are low-key, it's just that Chen He's appearance has disrupted your rhythm, if you wait until you become a blockbuster, it will definitely be the day of invincibility!" Feng San has been following Yan Shixun for a long time, so he naturally understands his master's thoughts, and he understands the truth of the arrow shooting the first bird.

"Well, but the change in things is too unexpected, I knew that there would be such a predicament now, and I will replace all the troops with special ones!" Yan Shixun also regretted it a little, in order to develop in a low-key manner, over the years, he had never said to anyone that he was Tianjiao, or that except for the records of the personnel department of the temple, at his request, few others knew that he was Tianjiao.

"Lord, my subordinates swear to follow you!" Feng San said with some excitement, as a general, it is his sin not to be able to share the worries of the Lord, so Yan Shixun's confiding at this moment is like a knife cut for Feng San.

"Feng San, to be honest in this battle, I don't have much confidence in the first place, now the internal special troops are seriously damaged, and the external reinforcements dare not come, although there are tens of millions of troops in Daosheng City, but to no avail, the combat effectiveness of the army under Chen He, you have also seen it, if you send ordinary troops to defend the city, I am afraid that you will not be able to hold it for a day!" Yan Shixun looked at Feng San and continued.

"Lord, my subordinates feel that although the crossbowmen are more suitable for defending the city, the general archer troops can also come in handy, and there are not many others, but the archer troops, there are still millions in the city, even if it is used as consumption, it should be able to suppress Chen He's army!" Feng San felt that Yan Shixun's will was a little depressed, and spoke again.

"Yes, I also understand what you said, originally according to my arrangement, the special troops guarded the city wall for ten days, one is to wear down the morale of Chen He's army, and the other is to consume the troops under Chen He's command, as well as their siege equipment! However, now you have also seen how sharp the archers under Chen He's command are, even if they are ironclad soldiers, if they are hit by several arrows, they will also suffer internal injuries! As a last resort, I can only send ordinary soldiers to assist, but in this way, it will increase the consumption of ordinary soldiers, and because Chen He's army is now in full swing, almost every time the city is attacked, it can occupy the city wall, which greatly reduces the morale of ordinary soldiers! Yan Shixun said with a wry smile.

"Lord, why do you still have a chance, Chen He's daily siege of the city is also a heavy loss, especially that night attack, at least a million elite soldiers were lost! His subordinates felt that it was impossible for every army under Chen He's command to have such combat effectiveness! Feng San persuaded again.

At this moment, a guard came to report: "Enlighten the Lord, there is an army at the east gate to help, and now it has entered the city!" ”

Suddenly hearing the reinforcements, Yan Shixun instantly stood up and said, "Reinforcements, how many people are coming from that city?" ”

"Back to the Lord, it is the reinforcements of Sanhuai City, led by the city lord Ding Sheng, with an army of more than 1.2 million!" The guard reported again.

"Okay, okay, it seems that there is still a city lord who has Daosheng City in his heart, and immediately summons everyone to welcome Ding Sheng City Lord!" Yan Shixun's original frustration disappeared in an instant, because with the first support army, there will be a second one, so that the thing he was most worried about was gone, and he had the confidence to compete with Chen He.

Feng San also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, as long as the Lord's will was not depressed, he had the backbone, and he believed that the Lord would definitely be able to stop Chen He and lead the Daosheng Temple to a new life.

The appearance of the first support army not only inspired Yan Shixun, but also inspired all the God of War envoys in Daosheng City, because they were no longer fighting alone, and this time in the reinforcements, there were nearly 200,000 divine crossbowmen and 500,000 ironclad soldiers, which ruthlessly replenished the battle losses of these waves.

At the same time that Yan Shixun led people to meet Ding Sheng, on the other side, a support army also arrived at the east gate, compared to Ding Sheng's reinforcements, the volunteer army at the east gate was much more miserable, and the clothes were ragged, obviously after a big battle, only more than 300,000 soldiers rushed to Daosheng City.

When Yan Shixun received the report of the guards, he immediately ordered a war king in charge of the personnel department to take some people to greet them, no matter how many, as long as it was reinforcements, it was that there was still the Daosheng Temple in their hearts, and the most important thing was that these people dared to support them at this time, at least they were not afraid of Chen He's army.
