Chapter 656: The Eve of Dawn (Part I)

"Hurry, hurry! Open the gates! Before he reached the city wall, Fan Jiang yelled at the soldiers on the city tower.

The soldiers defending the city did not know why, but when they saw the two thousand soldiers fleeing back in embarrassment, they did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly asked the soldiers guarding the city gate to open the city gate.

Fan Jiang led the soldiers to rush in, and the first thing he did after entering the city was to let the soldiers at the city gate block the city gate to death.

"It's not just here, it's the other three gates! Move fast! The enemy is almost there! Fan Jiang shouted, and the surrounding soldiers were suddenly startled, most of them didn't know that there were more than 100,000 enemies coming, Chen Fei didn't reveal this news in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

"It's too late to explain, go and block the city gate, by the way, what about Lord Chen? Where have they all gone? Fan Jiang said anxiously.

He couldn't be sure if the enemy was coming, but he had to prepare for the worst.

"They... It seems to have gone back to sleep. There were soldiers muttering.

"Go and call them all! There is something important to discuss! Fan Jiang roared, scaring the two soldiers in front of him, and his neck shrunk and hurriedly went to call someone.

In less than half a burnt of incense, the sleepy-eyed generals were all called over, and Fan Jiang recounted what had happened to him, threatening that the enemy's large army had arrived at the original camp, and it was only five miles away from them, which could be said to be within easy reach.

At this moment, the sleepy-eyed generals were not calm, they all woke up and began to discuss.

"Coming so soon? Didn't the scout scout just enter the customs before? ”

"Why did they come at night? Could it be because of the sneak attack just now? That's not right, it doesn't add up to more than an hour, how did they get there? ”

The generals talked a lot, and they were impressed by the speed of the enemy.

"Unless, the other party is also on the road at night!" A general said, and everyone fell silent.

Soon, someone broke the silence: "The other party is in a hurry at night, it must be a tired army, and most of them will not launch a night attack." ”

Someone else chimed in: "Most likely, it is the vanguard of the enemy, but there are only tens of thousands." ”

Many of the generals smiled lightly, guessing that it was probably the enemy's vanguard army, and it was also a vanguard army that was tired of hurrying, so there was nothing to fear. The previous army of 80,000 was repelled by them, and they are still afraid of these tired divisions?

I have to say that after a big victory, the mentality of the generals has changed subtly, and they don't take the enemy very seriously.

"Everyone, don't sleep tonight, get ready to meet the enemy." Chen Fei said with dark eyes.

The generals were puzzled and looked at him one after another.

"No matter what the enemy's situation is, we must be fully prepared, and then we will no longer face tens of thousands of enemies, but hundreds of thousands, the difference in numbers is several times, the gap is very different, everyone must be careful, not to underestimate the enemy. At night, whether the enemy comes to attack the city or not, we need to re-arm, take care of the other three sides of the city, and ask the generals to work hard and rearrange the city defenses. Chen Fei bowed deeply.

The generals waved their hands one after another, and they didn't dare.

According to reason, Chen Fei's control in the army is not high, but on the fifth grade, some of the generals present have higher official positions than him, the reason why he respects him so much, headed by him, is that in addition to Chen Fei is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, it is more of a means to fear him.

The thunderbolt and the special forces were all tossed out by him, and the beautiful battle of annihilating the enemy just now was also planned by him, and he had such means at such an age, which had to be convincing.

Therefore, even if these generals were not very reluctant in their hearts, no one said anything, and honestly arranged the defense of each city wall.

The hour hand turned another stick of incense, and Chen Fei, Cheng Chumo and several other generals sat boredly on the west city wall, leaning on the back city wall and looking up to count the stars boringly.

Everyone didn't sleep, and as the leader, they naturally didn't want to go back to sleep, so they were lying on the city wall and dozing off lazily.

Yin Ping's willpower is the best, his body is straight, and he meditates cross-legged. As for the others, Chen Fei and Cheng Chumo leaned against each other, their mouths opened widely, and they almost snored.

Look at the sky, it's not far from the dawn, the dawn of the Western Regions always comes later, it's about four o'clock in the morning, the sky is still dark, the soldiers standing on the city wall have lost their spirits, and they begin to snore for a while.

Just when everything was sleepy, the sound of "clang" footsteps was slowly heard in the distance!

The sound grew louder and louder from far to near, and many soldiers on the city wall who were dozing were awakened and looked at the city wall in disbelief.

The sound became closer and faster, and the walls began to shake.

Experienced veterans shouted: "Enemy attack!" Fast! Early warning! Enemy attack! That's a lot! Hurry up, hurry up! ”

The drummer on the tower of the city immediately beat the big drum, and the drum beat rapidly, passing to every corner of the city, and waking up the soldiers who were still dozing off.

Everyone changed their faces when they heard the drums, and such a rapid drum beat could only indicate one situation: the enemy was coming in large numbers, and the situation was very critical!

Almost the moment the drum sounded, Cheng Chumo was awakened, and his years of military career made him very sensitive to this kind of drum sound.

Standing up with a "swish", Chen Fei, who was leaning on his back, fell to the ground all of a sudden because of the lack of support, and he also woke up in pain.

"Ah Fei, something is wrong, the enemy is really coming to attack the city!"

Cheng Chumo pricked up his ears and listened to the enemy's footsteps, with a serious expression: "Listen to the sound, the enemy is more than 100,000!" ”

It seemed that in order to cooperate with what Cheng Chumo said, the enemy's roar of rushing and killing suddenly sounded, and the roar shook the sky, which made people's hearts moved.

Hearing the voice, Chen Fei changed color, but he didn't expect that he was really right, the enemy really took advantage of the night to attack!

"Thunderbolt! Throw a few thunderbolts down first! Look at the situation of the enemy! Chen Fei yelled, and the special soldiers who had already prepared threw out a few thunderbolts.........

"Boom!" After the loud noise, the sky-high firelight allowed the Tang army to get a field of vision, only to see that where the firelight shone, it was densely packed with enemies! I can't count how many!

It's serious! Chen Fei suddenly realized that this might be the most severe predicament he had encountered after being reborn! Life or death!

"Damn, no matter what, destroy the enemy's morale first! Come on, adjust the cannon, and give me a few rounds to the enemy! "Chen Fei jumped to his feet, now that there is nothing to hide, he has to overwhelm the enemy with the advantage of weapons first!

"Boom, boom!" On the city walls, several cannons roared and spat out tongues of fire at the enemy.

There was a wail from the shouts of the enemy, but it was quickly silenced. And the next moment, a rain of arrows fell on the city wall!
