The attack did not last long, and when the sun had cast its last rays of light, the land was covered in a faint night, and wisps of green smoke still rose from the city, but it was obviously not the smoke from the fires that had been lit in the homes of the people after dusk.

With a few rounds of sparse crossbow arrows intermittently ascending the city wall, the attack of the Feng family army finally ended, and many battlements of the city wall were also densely packed with wooden pole crossbow arrows, scattered around hedgehog-like shields, and the rebel soldiers on the road were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

Pulling out the crossbow arrows and putting them away, or supporting or carrying the wounded slowly down the city wall, groups of reserve rebels went up to the city to change their defenses, and generals of different ranks up and down patrolled around, pacifying the soldiers and counting the losses, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Dragging his tired body, Chen Jingxuan simply arranged the subsequent affairs, and under the escort of his own soldiers, he slowly went down to the city to rest with a heart that was more painful and tired than his body.

Under Lin Feng's order, the rear team of the whole army became the front team, and with the "turn back" instructions of the two sides, they slowly withdrew from the battlefield, leaving only Pan Zhigang's Thunder Pioneer Regiment stationed in the same place, responsible for the task of breaking the rear.

With the moon slowly floating in the sky, under the blinking stargaz, and stepping on the faint moonlight scattered on the ground, the Fengjia army set off to return to the camp, leaving a majestic and vague back of the rebels in the city.

Although there was no siege battle, after a few hours, with a round march, the crowd was tired enough. However, after returning to the camp, everyone was greeted with fragrant hot meals, which immediately swept away everyone's fatigue.

After dinner, the whole army entered a state of rest, but the generals were gathered in Lin Feng's tent to discuss the next military affairs.

"Everyone is tired today, but don't worry! Tomorrow will be a lot easier! "Dinner was a bit too much, so when Lin Feng stood and spoke, one hand was still on his lower abdomen, and the other hand waved at everyone, and then explained with a light smile: "Tomorrow, we will still send troops to attack the city according to today's time, but the number of people should not be so large!" I'll go there as usual, but only with 5,000 soldiers!" ”

Seeing that Li Xiaofeng was about to speak, Lin Feng waved his hand at him first, and then turned his head to Pan Zhigang and said, "Pan Xianxian, you don't have to go tomorrow, but you have to send a thousand people to open the way for me to suppress the formation!" ”

"Hou Ye, rest assured! Do it! Pan Zhigang nodded heavily and replied.

"Brother-in-law! There are so few people, what if the rebels in the city come out? I think it's better to have more people! Taking advantage of the fact that no one was talking, Li Xiaofeng hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay! Just rely on Chen Xiaoer? If he dares to kill out of the city, he will do it long ago! Lin Feng pursed his lips and replied with disdain on his face, and then continued to instruct Pan Zhigang: "In addition, at the end of tomorrow afternoon, you will take the remaining two thousand people and set off in two teams!" I've probably calculated the time, and by the time your men arrive outside the east and west of the city, it should be completely dark! At that time, there is no need to worry that the rebels will find out your true strength! ”

"Master Hou, but you want us to harass the rebels tomorrow night?" Pan Zhigang, who understood everything, immediately understood and asked with a smile.

"Hmmm! Precisely! That's right! Lin Feng nodded approvingly and praised with a smile, then changed his words, shook his head and smiled: "But! It's not exactly harassment either! ”

"Huh?" Pan Zhi had just been praised, his smile had not fully bloomed, and he looked at Lin Feng with a hint of doubt.

"Remember, before leaving the camp tomorrow, each brother will bring two days' rations! One horn for every five people! Lin Feng didn't immediately solve the other party's doubts, but talked about his plan in detail: "From tomorrow night, the two teams will blow horns outside the east and west cities respectively and pretend that our army is going to launch a night attack, which will last for a quarter of an hour!" Then you can retreat, but you have to retreat to the north and south of the city, and wait until the hour, and then blow the trumpet to attack! Until the next day, after the last trumpet blowing! Each of the two teams sent 500 men back to the camp, but they had to leave the horns and rations with them! The remaining 100 people, outside the southern city of Yazhou, are looking for a suitable place to disperse and hide! ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng turned around and walked behind the handsome case, stretched out his hand and pointed to the hanging map and said: "About seven or eight miles south of Yazhou City, there is a tributary of the Tsing Yi River, you can let the brothers camp in the upstream zone, the specific location is up to you to arrange and decide!" ”

"The last will obey! Mission completion guaranteed! Pan Zhigang responded with a confident fist.

"Oh, yes!" When he turned to everyone again, after a little thought, Lin Feng patted his head and added: "Remember, after feinting and harassing the rebels at night, the march must be steady, just walk slowly, don't let the rebels in the city hear the sound of the march of the army and arouse suspicion!" Otherwise, the plan may be discovered! But before dawn, when you return to the camp, you must make a big fanfare, and you can make a lot of noise and move as much as you can! ”

"Got it! Please rest assured! I'll lead the team myself! Pan Zhigang patted his chest and smiled and promised.

"Hmmm! That's your task for tomorrow! Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and commanded Yin Bo: "General Yin, you will stay tomorrow!" As soon as we send out our troops, you will lead 3,000 soldiers to the vanguard camp in front of our army, dig traps, and set up ambushes! ”

"Master Hou, this..." Obviously, Yin Bo couldn't understand the reason why Lin Feng told him to do this, and he was a little reluctant for a while, so he almost vetoed it directly.

Glancing around, Lin Feng found that the rest of the people were also puzzled, obviously not understanding why they wanted to attack the city and dig traps inside and outside their own camp.

Looking at everyone's expectant expressions, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, and explained in a low voice: "I don't know how long Chen Xiao'er in the city can endure it!" But if our army continues to toss like this, even if Chen Xiao'er is not crazy, the generals under his command will not be able to stand it! What's more, our army basically tossed in the afternoon and night, and most of them were feints at night, but the rebels in the city didn't know the truth! It is inevitable that the rebels in the city will take advantage of this opportunity to suddenly kill a light cavalry out of the city and come to rob the camp! I don't know if it's going to happen, but it's always good to be prepared! Just in case it really happened then, but our army was caught off guard! ”

"Huh! I'll just say that the entire Datang will count you as a loss, and you still don't admit it?! Li Xiaofeng on the side pursed his lips and chuckled and said "count", but his face was full of admiration.

"Be prepared!" Yin Bo also laughed, nodded and responded: "I understand, don't worry, Master Hou!" Leave it to me! The trap must be dug so deep that the turtle sons can't climb out if they fall in! ”

"Haha." Looking at Yin Bo's gritted teeth when he spoke, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
