Two days have passed in the blink of an eye,

That afternoon, Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong were inspecting the city wall, looking at the trench that had been dug outside the city, Gao Yanzong said proudly:

"The city is like this, it is already impregnable, even if there are millions of thieves, we don't need to be afraid."

Lan Ziyi smiled and said:

"I don't think that's enough to see."

Gao Yanzong glanced back at Lan Ziyi and said with a slight teasing:

"Wei Hou is timid again?"

Lan Ziyi did not look back at Gao Yanzong, but leaned against the female wall and groaned for a while, saying:

"Things are man-made, so the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people,

I have fought with thieves, and I know that thieves are bewitched by witchcraft, and they are not afraid of death, Xiangcheng is not a dangerous city, and this little trench dug will not last long in front of the army of thieves. “

Gao Yanzong smiled after hearing this:

"It is precisely because it is man-made that we will win,

In just two days, we have gathered nearly 20,000 forbidden troops, plus the original people of Xiangcheng and the people who were accepted later, now there are more than 30,000 people in the city who can fight, and the people's labor force is more than three times.

This is the people, this is the victorious division. “

Lan Ziyi looked back at the high-spirited Gao Yanzong, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Now Lan Ziyi and they are sticking to the lonely city, and the reinforcements of the imperial court are still unknown, at this time, having such a brave general can definitely boost morale,

But Gao Yanzong is still a civil official in the end, and he has never experienced a battle formation, will he not listen to the command after he really engages the enemy? Will he be just a strong outsider and a middle-class cadre now, if he really goes to the battlefield but is cowardly, it will be a disastrous blow to morale.

However, judging from the reaction when he saw Wei Qionglou running that day, Gao Yanzong's courage was still very strong, so I hope he didn't close his eyes and die in a battle.

Lan Ziyi looked at Gao Yanzong, his facial features were tense and then relaxed, and then tense after being relaxed,

Gao Yanzong looked at Lan Ziyi's face uncertain, a little puzzled, and asked:

"What doubts does Wei Hou have?"

Lan Ziyi pinched the bridge of his nose, he couldn't sleep for a few hours every day these days, and there was still a lot of physical work to do, and people who were tired were choked.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"Of course, it is a good thing that there are many people in the city, but this Tianqiu Mr. Wenruo has been asking me to collect grain and grass, and I didn't expect that there would be so many people when the city originally prepared grain and grass, and there were more than eight thousand horses entering the city, which Xiang Cheng was not prepared for before."

Gao Yanzong touched his chin and thought about it, and said:

"I also heard Mr. Wen Ruo talk about these things, yesterday I sent people out to the nearby villages and towns to collect grain and grass, but the grain was tight in the early spring, and at the beginning of the year, it would fully support the Northern Expedition.

Transporting grain and grass from other cities is the right move. “

Lan Ziyi nodded and said:

"I have also sent people to the cities to send documents and ask for food, but the time is ......."

Before he could finish speaking, a voice came from far and near outside the city:

"Someone's coming! Someone from the west! ”

Gao Yanzong teased when he heard this:

"It can't be another false alarm, right?"

Lan Ziyi tightened his eyelids slightly, looked into the distance and said

"No, it's going to be real."

Gao Yanzong turned his head to look, the weather was clear, the sight was good, and above the distant horizon, a thick line was slowly drawn in thick ink, and then this infinitely wide line slowly and firmly advanced step by step, constantly devouring the land it passed, and finally turned into a torrent, an ocean, as if only in a moment, the illusion that it was not real at all far away from the sky became a crowd all over the mountains, where the people passed, the earth no longer existed, and they could no longer see what they were stepping on. For the soil that had been under their feet had been shoveled up by the waves of men that had been rolling forward, and had flown into the sky.

At that moment, everyone, all the people standing on the wall of Xiangcheng City reflected a picture in their minds, in that picture, the vast sea in front of them flooded the city wall under the feet of the soldiers without any condensation, as if this city was just a stone at the bottom of the sea.

Driven by this huge wave of humans and accompanying animals, several high-pitched clouds of smoke and dust were galloping towards Xiangcheng, which were the remaining scouts who had not yet entered the city.

On the side, Gao Yanzong looked at the thieves who were gradually approaching, and said with a smile:

"If I knew I could see with my eyes, I wouldn't have had to send so many scouts out of the city."

Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, the military situation goes first, how can there be no reconnaissance in the war,

It's just that when the difference in strength is as big as it is now, no matter how clear it is, the usefulness will be so great. “

Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong said lightly, but in fact, the garrisons on the city wall were already busy.

The people of the city beat the gongs and drums, and reported on all sides, that the soldiers under the city walls had come to the city, and the men had brought grain, and the stone throwers used to defend the city had been dragged out of the storehouses.

The detachment guarding the city gate was already heavily armed and blocked the gate, shouting loudly urging the people outside the city who had not yet entered the city to move quickly.

Those who were still outside the city ran into the city without looking back, although the thieves were still some distance away, but the big guys ran to the city with all their strength, and they did not dare to look back, as if they would be devoured if they looked back.

After the last of the scouts galloped into the city, the gates were slammed shut, and a huge bolt a man thick was lifted by a group of men, and then the gates were sealed.

The three brothers of the Tao family and Wei Qionglou have also led the armor to the west gate where Lan Ziyi and Gao Yanzong are located.

Before these people could speak, Lan Ziyi spoke and arranged:

"General Zhulu stayed, leaving the three of you to hold the east, south, and north gates.

Take advantage of the fact that the thieves have not yet taken over the city, go quickly, otherwise there will be no soldiers and no generals, and the thieves will be caught by the weakness. “

Peach Chase Tiger, Peach Chase Rabbit and Wei Qionglou looked at each other when they listened, and were a little puzzled,

Lan Ziyi was right to let the three of them go to the city gates to hold on, but those who usually stayed by Lan Ziyi's side were Tao Zhutu, why did he let Tao Zhulu stay this time?

Tao Zhutu still wanted to ask, but Lan Ziyi urged:

"What are you doing here if you don't obey orders, why don't you go quickly?"

Seeing that Lan Ziyi had made up his mind, the three of them didn't want to ask too much, so they hugged their fists and led their soldiers to the other three city gates.

At this time, Gao Yanzong was also busy on the city wall to command the city to send equipment or something to the city, one of these equipment has a long pole that Lan Ziyi has never seen, this dry foot is more than a zhang long, one end is in the shape of a "ya", and one will be put down every few steps on the city wall.

Lan Ziyi was about to ask Gao Yanzong about the use of this thing, but he leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and said:

"I've already driven nails into the work of the thieves in the city."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look around, and found that the people around him were busy preparing to defend the city, and no one cared about the two of them, so he pulled Tao Zhulu to the edge of the city wall and asked:

"So do you know anything useful?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"The thieves have calculated that they can rush to Xiangcheng today, and plan to open the city gate from the inside at night tonight, and then the thieves outside the city will enter the city from all sides.

The thief Kou Tianwang heard that Wei Hou ordered that Xiang Cheng must be taken in the city and that Wei Hou should be captured alive. ”

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"Aren't you tired of using this routine?

It's just that the thieves are so far away a few days ago, how do the thieves get in touch with each other? “

After asking this, Lan Ziyi saw a smile on Tao Zhulu's face, and he also understood, and laughed together. The thieves' communication must have been kept unimpeded, so how else would they get information?

Lan Ziyi asked again:

"Have you gotten in touch with our Thief Camp Eyeliner?"

Tao Zhulu shook his head and said:

"As far as I know, there are a few of the thieves in the city who have the possibility of taking refuge in them, but they are still uncertain, and they dare not talk to them directly, so there is no way to rely on them to pass on the news on both sides.

Our own scouts have approached the bandits' base these days, but the bandits are now heavily guarded, and my men have no chance to infiltrate them.

But as long as the thief is willing to attack the city and is willing to camp outside the city, I will have a chance to connect with my eyeline. “

Lan Ziyi listened and nodded.

It's just that when they spoke, the city wall was already full of soldiers, and most of them were sitting behind the female wall, with bows and arrows aside, did they look outside the city from the battlements of the city wall?

The thieves outside the city have blocked the west gate of Xiangcheng, and the other three groups of city gates are also about to be surrounded, and there are many dazzling bright lights reflected on the city wall in the black oppressive crowd, and the people who are shaking can't open their eyes.

Different from before, the number of thieves wearing armor has increased dramatically, and their behavior is quite orderly, and there are marches forward, retreating into arrays, forming formations, changing formations, and opening and closing without confusion. Compared to the current garrison of Xiangcheng mixed with many people, the thieves seem to be more well-trained.

Lan Ziyi couldn't help but gasp when he looked at this scene, why did the thief become so sharp for a few days.

Next to him, Tao Zhulu scolded:

"It must be the one who surrendered."

Sure enough, just outside the outermost trench, there was a rider shouting around the trench, what a bastard who had surrendered to the thief,

The bastard shouted:

"Listen to the people of the city, who are righteous and evil, and cruel to the people,

I, the king of heaven, inherit the will of heaven, eradicate the righteous demons for all beings in the world, and uphold the way of heaven.

I was originally in the demon to help the abuse, until I listened to the teachings of the Heavenly King, I suddenly opened my mouth, and realized the principles of heaven, and now I am a reincarnated heavenly general.

As long as you descend early, this reincarnation of immortals is also yours! “

Gao Yanzong listened to the screams of the young seed outside, gritted his teeth in anger, the corners of his eyes were about to crack, and he shouted loudly, asking someone to bring him a bow and arrows.

Lan Ziyi said:

"Don't be angry, this thief is out of the range of the bow and arrow, and we can't reach it."

Gao Yanzong scolded:

"Where did this bastard come from? Surrender to the thieves! ”

兰子义 says:

"He is the bastard who fled in the middle of the night in Yuzhou City."

When Gao Yanzong heard this, he scolded again, and sang and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors.

At this time, one of the thieves came out and said that he would change his seed back, and raised his head and shouted to the city wall:

"In the next day, General Lei Youde, dare to ask who will be the defender of this city?"
