Dark clouds rolling, muffled thunder.

It was only about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky was already completely dark, and even if hundreds of bonfires were lit on the city walls, they could barely illuminate them, and it was impossible to see what was going on under the walls.

The 'unknown' and 'darkness' are the hotbeds of fear, especially those who have been temporarily recruited, staring at the eyes of those suffering from night blindness, looking down hard, and the slightest wind and grass is a gust of wind.

The only thing that is still safe is the city gate where Wu Kai himself is sitting - anyway, he is pretending to be sick, he simply put a soft collapse in the city gate tower, and since noon after dinner, he has been lying on the bed and snoring like thunder.

The attitude of no one on the side, but it happened to appease the people around him, making people think that he was a sure winner.

At this moment, a figure approached the city gate silently, but as fast as lightning, and with a flick of his hand, he hooked the battlements with the claws of the flying tiger, and pulled the thin rope with both hands.

"Who?!"

The militiamen who were standing guard nearby were all shocked when they saw someone suddenly jumping onto the wall, and hurriedly erected their shields in front of the city gate tower.

"Don't get me wrong, it's ......"

The man spoke in a sharp voice, and was about to explain a few words, but he heard Wu Kai's voice from the city gate: "Is it Brother Shi Qian?" Come in and talk! ”

In fact, where can Wu Kai sleep?

It's just lying on the bed and pretending, but after a long time, lying down is really a little suffocating, but when I happened to hear the movement outside, I turned over and sat up as if I had been amnestied, and called Shi Qian in.

Shi moved into the city gate tower, and saw that there was no one else except Wu Kai inside, so he arched his hand and said: "Master Qiqi, the coalition army organized by the Zhu family has set up camp seven or eight miles south of the city, and it doesn't look like it's going to take advantage of the night to sneak attack - but that old thief is treacherous, maybe he is using a suspicious strategy!" ”

Wu Kai nodded, and asked again, "How about the ladder they brought?" ”

Shi Qian hurriedly said: "There are about three or four zhang, and there is no hook on the top, but it is actually an ordinary ladder, which is not a cloud ladder for war." ”

If you want to use a ladder three or four feet long to attack the city wall, which is three or four feet long, although it cannot be said that it is absolutely impossible, the difficulty is as high as climbing to the sky -- with the angle of going straight up and down, and without a hook that can be stuck in the wall, the militia defending the city can do it with a simple push, even with a ladder.

Wu Kailuo groaned, and suddenly shouted outside: "Notice, let all the people go home and rest immediately, and wait for tomorrow morning to get the notice, and then go back to the city wall!" ”

Since there is a problem with the ladder used to attack the city, in a short period of time, it is impossible for the Dulonggang coalition army to attack the city on a large scale, and the sky is like this, I am afraid that there will be a violent storm at night.

Therefore, there is no point in letting the people stick to the city wall, it is better to let them go home and have a good rest.

"Brother Shimi."

After passing the order, Wu Kai said slightly apologetically: "Now that it's like this, I'm afraid I will trouble you to go out of the city and continue to monitor the Zhu family's every move." ”

Although it is basically certain that the Zhu family will not attack the city on a large scale tonight, the possibility of using a small number of elite soldiers to sneak attack still exists, especially now that the city is almost out of sight.

"What is the matter within the division, what is the gentleman being polite to me?" Shi Qian arched his hand and said, "I'm ...... this"

"Wait."

Wu Kai stopped him again, took out the cow tendon handcuff from his arms, threw it to Shi Qian, and said: "Take it for self-defense, if you encounter any danger, withdraw it immediately, don't be greedy!" ”

"Sir!"

Shi Qian held the handcuff, and his excited eyes were a little red.

As Wu Kai's last means of self-defense, it is difficult for Wu Song to touch it on weekdays, but now he does not hesitate to hand it over to himself for self-defense.

――Dividing Line――

However, it was said that when Wu Kai was inviting people to buy people's hearts at the city gate, in the temporary camping camp outside the city, Zhu Chaofeng was roaring angrily.

"Idiot! A bunch of idiots! ”

His face was bruised, and he paced impatiently in the tent of the Chinese army, waving his arms viciously, as if he was going to cut off someone's head.

What made Zhu Chaofeng so angry was naturally the sudden increase in the height of Yanggu City, and this sudden change made the thousands of cloud ladders prepared by the Zhu family in advance all of them become waste.

That's not all, what made Zhu Chaofeng even more annoyed was the reaction of Li Ying and the leaders of the bandits after hearing this unexpected news-that expression, that gaze, it was simply that he regarded Wan Mao Zhu as mentally retarded!

"Big brother!"

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Huo Ran turned around and pointed his gun at Zhu Long, and scolded with a splash of saliva: "Could it be that the spies you selected with your own hands are all blind?!" I knew all day about reporting those gods and ghosts, but I couldn't even see such a big movement as the construction of the city wall! ”

"Daddy's anger!"

Zhu Long was sprayed with saliva by him, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe it, so he said embarrassedly: "The child doesn't know what's going on, it stands to reason that such a big movement, even the blind should ...... The child has already sent someone to inquire nearby, and there must be news soon! ”

"Report!"

Before the words fell, someone outside the door said loudly: "Qiqi Zhuang, Tanma brought back a few nearby villagers, and now they are waiting outside......"

"Bring it in, I'm going to interrogate it myself!"

Zhu Chaofeng didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he gave a quick order, and then strode back to the back of a few cases, putting on a posture of not being angry and arrogant.

However, a few panicked people were brought in and knelt timidly in front of Zhu Chaofeng.

"You need not be afraid." Zhu Chaofeng said as pleasantly as possible: "Let me ask you, when did the walls of Yanggu City start to be built?" ”

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, and suddenly they said in unison: "The city wall was built since yesterday afternoon." ”

"Bold!"

Zhu Chaofeng jumped up all of a sudden, kicked down the few cases in front of him, pointed at the people and said angrily: "You few are splashy, are you fools to be an old man?!" How could such a big thing as the construction of a city wall be done overnight?! ”

Several people were so frightened that they trembled, and only one of them was bolder, and said in a trembling voice: "The king spares his life, the little ones dare not deceive the king, this city wall was indeed built overnight, I heard that it was the fight to defeat the Buddha and exert boundless mana, so it ......"

"Shut up! You damn spy! ”

Zhu Chaofeng roared and jumped up, drew the sword at his waist, stepped forward and cut the people to the ground, and shouted left and right: "Come on, push out these spies who lie about the military situation and try to disturb the hearts of our army!" ”
