"Report..., Taishou, there is a movement in Zhu Wei's military camp outside the north gate, it seems that he is preparing to cross the river and attack the city! Please also go to the north gate to have a look! ”

It turned out that the guard of the north gate found that Zhu Wei's army seemed to be building a pontoon bridge over the Anhui River, and there was also a large army in the rear preparing to send troops, and he was worried that Zhu Wei's army at the north gate was also about to attack the city.

Therefore, the guards at the north gate did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly asked people to inform Liu Xun's side, hoping that Liu Xun could send him reinforcements.

Liu Xun's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't help but glance at Liu Ye, as if he was right by Liu Ye again, maybe Zhu Wei's army was really attacking the west, no wonder Fang felt that Zhu Wei's army was attacking the city, and it seemed that he had not done his best.

"Okay, let's go and see it quickly, well, transfer another 3,000 soldiers and 5,000 young men to go with you!"

In the end, Liu Xun didn't dare to slack off, so he transferred some troops from the south gate and rushed directly to the north gate, and now he left about 2,000 troops on the north gate, and he was really worried that he would be raided by Zhu Wei's army.

However, Liu Ye's expression changed, he was originally just talking, but he didn't want Zhu Weijun to really have such a move, but after thinking about it, he turned up slightly at the corner of his mouth, he understood that this north gate should just be a false alarm.

Then Liu Xun rushed to the direction of the north gate with his men and the army, and sure enough, he saw that on the Anhui River about four or five miles away from the city gate, there were nearly 10,000 Zhu Wei's army building a pontoon bridge, and it seemed that the more than 10,000 troops were auxiliary soldiers, and there were still 1 or 20,000 troops in Zhu Wei's army village in the rear who were eating and preparing for war.

I don't know what means Lu Su used, but he actually let his 5,000 soldiers and 3,000 auxiliary soldiers get such a scale, and from the distance from the north gate of Anhui County, there is really no flaw.

This inevitably made Liu Xun, who was watching from the city gate, confused in his heart, "How many troops did this Zhu Wei bring this time, how come there are so many soldiers hiding here, alas, how can this be good!" ”

Originally, Liu Xun thought that he had 20,000 troops on his side plus 10,000 young men to defend the city, which was already a large number of troops, and the strength to defend the city was abundant.

But yesterday lost half of the main soldiers in the first battle, and today looking at the scale of Zhu Wei's army, it seems that there are 20,000 or 30,000 people here at the south gate, and now there are 20,000 or 30,000 troops outside the north gate.

Such a scale of troops really frightened Liu Xun's heart, and he felt that he really underestimated Zhu Wei's determination to attack Lujiang.

With the current scale of Zhu Wei's army, it is completely possible to attack the city in the north and south at the same time, with the combat effectiveness of Zhu Wei's troops attacking the city today, Liu Xun felt that the remaining troops in his hands were a little insufficient, thinking of this, he once again swept his eyes to his advisers and generals, hoping to get some encouragement and support from them.

But even Liu Xun himself has no bottom in his heart, how can these people under him have confidence.

Many people looked at the scale of Zhu Wei's army outside the city, and their expressions changed one by one, but Liu Ye frowned, and said to Liu Xun seemingly sincerely, "Liu Gong, it seems that the north gate is now unguarded, before, the terrain outside the north gate is restricted, so that Zhu Wei's army can not set up a formation to attack the city, but now if he waits to build a pontoon bridge on the Wan River, then Zhu Wei's army will inevitably be able to line up on the riverbank, and then use the pontoon bridge to cross the river, and the north gate can also threaten!" In this way, we are at the north gate, and I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it! If there are no 5,000 defenders here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop the strong attack of Zhu Wei's army! Well, in Yiye's opinion, it is better to draw 3,000 pawns as the base, and then deploy 4,000 young and strong people as supplements! ”

"Ziyang is very right! Well, so be it! Alas, it's a pity that so many troops were lost in vain yesterday, and if there were more than 10,000 troops lost yesterday, they would not be so overwhelmed! ”

Liu Xun sighed again at the loss of troops yesterday, and at the same time looked in the direction of Shu County, north of Anhui County, and said to Liu Ye, "Ziyang, it seems that we need to send another order to Liu Kai and ask him to send troops to help, otherwise I am afraid that Anhui County will not be able to wait for Shouchun reinforcements!" ”

"Don't worry, Gong Liu, this matter will be arranged immediately!"

Liu Ye seemed to agree very solemnly, but he thought in his heart that if tonight's incident came to pass, maybe it would be just the right time to transfer Liu Kai to Anhui County to die.

Then Liu Xun looked at the progress of Zhu Wei's army to build a pontoon bridge on the Anhui River over there, and for the time being, he was not worried that Zhu Wei's army would attack the city immediately, but he was worried that Zhu Wei's army would attack the north gate at night, so he ordered and arranged for a while at the north gate, and then returned to the yasi in the city, and discussed the specific matters of defending the city with his subordinates again.

In this way, the time passed little by little, and soon the sky darkened, and there were scouts at the south gate of Anhui County to report, and the cavalry of Zhu Wei's army outside the south gate seemed to have retreated, so Liu Xun asked Liu Ye to arrange to prepare to take the soldiers in the fort outside the south gate back to the city.

At about nine or ten o'clock in the evening, Liu Ye personally led more than 1,000 soldiers who originally belonged to Chaohu thieves to the south gate, and asked the generals on duty at the city gate at night to open the inner urn city and the outer city gate.

And the general on duty didn't doubt it much, after all, Liu Ye had the general order given by Liu Xun in his hands, and some of the soldiers guarding the city tonight belonged to Liu Ye's troops composed of soldiers who were originally born as Chaohu thieves, how could he have any different intentions.

Not long after, the city gate of the urn city in Nawan County was first opened, and then another member of Liu Ye's seemingly majestic family walked out with more than 1,000 people, as if to pick up the soldiers in the fort outside the city.

As for Liu Ye, he didn't go out with him, but just went up to the city gate tower with more than 20 guards, and it seemed that he was going to wait for the soldiers in the fort outside to return with Liu Xun's generals on duty.

However, after Liu Ye went up to the city wall, several of his guards quietly left and went to gather the troops who were on duty on the city wall, and then these people gathered on Liu Ye's side.

It's just that Liu Xun's generals on duty still don't have much suspicion, in fact, not far from the city gate, which is where Liu Xun's defenders in the city are stationed, although a lot of troops have been transferred to the north gate, there are at least three or four thousand people stationed here.

Therefore, if something happens on this side of the city gate, the soldiers in the garrison will naturally rush to support as soon as possible.

In comparison, the city gate is naturally very safe, and Liu Ye is also assuming the identity of the military advisor and strategist next to Liu Xun at this moment, deliberately pulling the general Liu Xun who is on duty at night to teach some words on the city gate, it seems that he is also careful to guard against the possibility of a sneak attack by Zhu Wei's army at night, how can people suspect anything.

At this time, as the soldiers around Liu Ye entered the fort outside the city, there seemed to be some shouts inside, as if something was going on over there.

"Sir, but when I hear the movement outside, there can't be something wrong over there!"

Liu Xunbu, who was on duty at night, couldn't help but glance over there suspiciously, and then asked Liu Ye with a bit of deliberation......
