Ye Shaolong spent a lot of time in order to appease the iron tower, and this guy seemed to see his previous sniff in the end, and he was not poked out by Li Chengke.

In addition to being secretly grateful to Li Chengke, he didn't dare to shout anymore, so he honestly obeyed Ye Shaolong's words and stayed at home to recuperate.

Receiving the grateful eyes cast by the tower, Li Chengke was also relieved. This guy is a bomb, and if it is detonated, it will always cause trouble.

Seeing him like this, he was a little self-aware, and he knew that he was wrong to be so reckless before. Now that he himself realized his mistake, he would not dare to make it again.

Leaving the room of the iron tower, it was already late at night, Ye Shaolong, accompanied by Li Chengke, inspected the whole city together, and only after finding no flaws did they go back to rest.

I slept late last night, but early in the morning, the genius began to brighten, and suddenly, the whole capital woke up in a loud cheer.

Even the place where Ye Shaolong stayed was not spared, only to hear someone shouting outside the house, as if something major had happened.

Ye Shaolong, who was in a daze, had just been woken up, and before he got up, he heard a knock on the door.

Then, Li Chengke's anxious voice sounded outside the house: "Da Shuai, is Da Shuai awake?" ”

"What happened? In! ”

Ye Shaolong suddenly sobered up, turned over and got out of bed.

After Li Chengke got permission, he immediately pushed the door and entered, and said: "Just now, a spy from Zhangjiakou sent news that the Seven Nations Alliance Army is pulling out of camp and starting to come to the capital. ”

"Oh, the damn enemy is finally moving." Ye Shaolong sneered and began to get dressed quickly.

Before he could even wash up, he hurriedly put on his armor and walked straight out the door.

Li Chengke then followed and continued: "According to the news of the spies, the enemy army will arrive outside the capital in the afternoon. Now I have ordered the whole army to be on alert and ready to go into battle at any time. However, the 5,000 soldiers and horses sent by Tianjin City for reinforcements have not yet arrived in the capital, and I wonder if there was an accident on the way to delay it. ”

Ye Shaolong suddenly stopped, and coldly ordered: "Send someone to find out immediately, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Li Chengke looked like he was stunned and shouted: "Yes, handsome!" ”

Then, he saw Li Chengke leave in a hurry, and only turned back after a while, telling Ye Shaolong that it had been arranged.

Ye Shaolong nodded when he learned about it, and came to the city tower of the east gate with Li Chengke.

The sun has just come out of the mountains, the golden sun is very soft, and the sky is cloudless, obviously it is a very hot weather.

If nothing else, the weather today is definitely above 37 degrees in the afternoon, and under such high temperatures, it is absolutely not suitable for combat.

Especially after a long journey, the enemy army must have been tired when they arrived in the capital. At this time, if the enemy still dares to send troops to attack the city, it is thought that its leader should have been kicked in the head by a donkey, so he would make such a counterintuitive order.

Estimating such a result, Ye Shaolong suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

Outside the eastern city was originally a large area of farmland, and this entire farmland belonged to the former imperial relatives. It has been abandoned for a year now, and it has long been full of weeds.

In some places, because of the drought and the lack of human management, it has already become barren land. Moreover, desertification has begun in some extremely arid places.

As soon as a strong wind blows, it will inevitably raise a sky full of dust, obscuring the sky, and the line of sight will be completely restricted.

The capital has experienced many battles in the past two years, and the entire suburbs outside the city have been seriously damaged because of the war. In the past, you could still see sparse trees, but now you can't see a single sapling.

Ye Shaolong suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed to the empty wasteland, and said to Li Cheng with a smile: "Do you think that if the enemy army camps on this wasteland in front, will their combat strength be extremely reduced because of the scorching heat?" ”

After Li Cheng heard this, he carefully looked at the surrounding environment according to what Ye Shaolong said, and soon he discovered the beauty of it. He said with a smile: "Indeed, because the irrigation canal in Dongcheng has been destroyed, the water here has been completely cut off. If the enemy dares to camp here, they will suffer from it. ”

Ye Shaolong was slightly stunned, and then asked urgently: "How do you say this?" Isn't there any water source in this wasteland outside the East City? ”

Li Chengke nodded and said, "This was the royal field before, and there were originally many canals, but they all had to be diverted from the moat. Because of the previous wars, and because of the many changes in power, the water of the moat outside the capital is not known to be cut off. ”

When Ye Shaolong heard this, he immediately looked under the city wall, and sure enough, he couldn't see any moat. Below is the entire flat land, and there is not even a ditch in sight, let alone a river.

Ye Shaolong was stunned for a long time, and suddenly a smile gradually appeared on his face: "It seems that we have to take the initiative to do something!" ”

Li Cheng was puzzled: "What is the big handsome going to do?" ”

Ye Shaolong Yin laughed: "Since everyone has hit our territory, we naturally can't be shabby guests." This place to camp is very good outside the eastern city, I think. ”

Li Chengke seemed to understand what Ye Shaolong meant, but he hadn't thought too much: "The marshal wants to take the initiative to invite the enemy army to camp outside the eastern city." ”

Ye Shaolong nodded: "Yes, they must be allowed to camp outside Dongcheng, and they are not allowed anywhere else except here." ”

Li Chengke seemed to realize something, frowned and said, "Then what should we do?" ”

Ye Shaolong said confidently: "It's very simple, immediately send 30,000 troops, except for Dongcheng, send 10,000 troops from other places to go to the house to set traps ten miles away." Remember, any kind of trap is fine, as long as it makes the enemy afraid to camp there. ”

After hearing this, Li Chengke's eyes also lit up, and he secretly praised Ye Shaolong for his cleverness, and then immediately stepped back to make arrangements.

Li Chengke's speed was indeed fast enough, and after a while, Ye Shaolong saw that there was a lot of commotion in the city, but it soon calmed down.

Obviously, it was Li Cheng who went to set the trap before gathering the people to start.

Ye Shaolong turned around and looked outside the city again, at this moment, the sun was already hanging in the air, and after basking on the empty city wall for a while, Ye Shaolong felt the viciousness of the sun.

Fine beads of sweat had begun to form on its forehead, and in the cool morning, it would be dispelled by the sun that was beginning to emit power.

Ye Shaolong felt the temperature rise, and his body began to sweat, but he didn't have the slightest sense of disgust, but muttered in a low voice: "Hot, hotter more!" ”
