Chapter 627

In the eyes of the non-commissioned officers of Wuwei, the Shanyang Army, which was preparing to attack the city just now, all of them withdrew to the barracks at once, and the entire battlefield was silent.

"General, the Shanyang Army has withdrawn!" Sun Qilian was stunned on the city wall with a pale face, and the general next to him whispered.

"I know! We've been tricked. They did this on purpose, so that we might all assemble ourselves at the head of the city so that we might hear him preach. Shanyang Army, ruthless enough! Sun Qi said with hatred.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Sun Qilian knew that by the Xiaoguo Army like this, these soldiers lost their confidence in defending the city.

"Let Li Jin get here! Immediately! Back at the county office, Sun Qilian roared angrily.

A moment later, Li Jin walked in with a pale face.

"Li Jin, how many of the soldiers with you have entered the city?" Sun Qilian asked coldly.

"More than 100 people!" Hearing Sun Qilian ask like this, Li Jin felt bad.

"Where are they now?"

At the beginning, he stayed in the military camp in the south of the city. Now, I should still be there, my subordinates have been dismissed from their posts and become guards of the city, so naturally I can't let them continue to follow me. Li Jin replied in a trembling voice.

"In that case, there should be quite a few people who escaped from the city besides you, right?"

"The subordinates didn't know that after the defeat in the city, the subordinates rushed back and came to report the news to the general, as for the rest of the ......"

"Having said that, the city sergeant has confirmed the loss of Fengwei County! Get out of here! Sun Qilian said coldly. Ever since he became a Shanyang Army and roared outside the city, Sun Qilian realized that he had neglected something. Then I remembered Li Jin's return to the city, think about it, among the nearly 1,000 soldiers in Nanying, I am afraid that the news has spread all over at this moment. Moreover, because the south of the city is the rear, the soldiers in the south of the city barracks are more wounded soldiers and those new soldiers.

"General, do you want to control these more than 100 people, and then block the military camp in the south of the city." The general whispered.

Sun Qilian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's too late at this moment, I'm afraid that this kind of news has already spread!" Hundreds of people rushed back, but it was not one or two people who saw it. ”

"Report ...... General Qiyu, who became the Shanyang Army, began to throw notice leaflets into the city, and the impact was extremely bad! A soldier hurried in, a large stack of notices in his hand.

Sun Qi took a look at it, and cursed secretly in his heart, what was written on it was the words that he had shouted outside the city before, and in addition, he also openly and openly wooed the soldiers from Yanzhou in the city.

"Bastard!" Sun Qi scolded angrily, then got up suddenly, sat down weakly for a while.

"General, are we going to seize these notices immediately, if they fall into the hands of the soldiers, we don't know what will happen." A general said urgently.

"Confiscation? What's the use of collecting it now? In this way, it means that our situation here is the same as what the Shanyang Army shouted? Those who are here, I am afraid that the city sergeants have already known the news. If we do this, not only will it not work well, but it will make the soldiers more nervous. Sun Qi frowned and said hatefully.

"But, General, if you go on like this, sooner or later there will be an accident." The general said urgently.

Sun Qilian shook his head and said, "Go and appease the soldiers and tell them that their families are all in the rear, not here." For the war dead, the bereavement can be settled. If you surrender, you will even have the whole family. Besides, what if Fengwei County is breached? Our army in the south of Fengwei County will definitely send troops to rescue. Let the soldiers hold this city, and they will surely be able to break the enemy's army. ”

After a pause, he said, "Take out all the money and wealth in the generals and reward the soldiers." In addition, it is also a reward for the young men who defend the city. Sue everyone, the three-day siege of the city, the Shanyang army outside the city suffered a lot of losses, and after the city is broken, it will definitely avenge its soldiers. When the time comes, they will not be able to protect their heads. Don't forget, that's what the Yanzhou government army did. Surrender? Let them think for themselves, whether it is worth it. ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Several lieutenants left in a hurry.

"What a Shanyang army, it is really ruthless enough to break the heart of our army! Someone came, and sent someone to the south to send a scout horse to inquire about the situation in Fengwei County. As soon as an enemy arrives, report it immediately. Sun Qilian ordered in a cold voice.

Although there were no other changes in the defenders of the city, Sun Qilian still noticed the commotion among the soldiers. There is nothing he can do about it. Although, now he knew that the Shanyang Army was going over the mountain, but at this moment, what else could he do? We can only hope that the Wuwei army in the south will go north and recapture Fengwei County. According to the soldiers who came back with Li Jin and the deserters who came back intermittently later, the Shanyang Army that took Fengwei County was only three or four thousand people, and in a battle with Li Jin's troops, only more than half of them were intact. As long as the Wuwei army in the south is dispatched, it can still take Fengwei County. If it weren't for the fact that this Changli was an important place to resist the southward movement of the Shanyang army, I am afraid that at this moment he would have led the army south to capture the city.

At midnight, dark clouds suddenly appeared, obscuring the crescent moon and starlight in the sky. The night was darker than ever, like a viscous mass of ink that could not be dissolved.

At this time, in the city, with the exception of the sentries on patrol, most of the defenders fell into a sweet sleep.

Sun Qilian sat on a chair in the center of the room, holding a white silk cloth in his hand, carefully and slowly wiping the long sword in his hand, the sharp blade of the sword flashed with a palpitating cold light under the light of the brazier, and Sun Qilian's face was filled with anxiety that could not be erased. Now, he is also a little unoptimistic about the guards of this city.

"Forget it, go to sleep, as long as you stick to it, you'll be fine." Sun Qilian muttered to himself. As he spoke, he put down his sword and prepared to go to bed.

That's when ......

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Kill......"

"Up, kill in! The city is broken tonight......"

The earth-shattering drums and trumpets rumbled, and the shouts of the killing god came from afar.

The loud shouting of killing stunned Sun Qilian, who was about to rest, and then sat up suddenly, clenching the long sword hanging on the side. Then, he pushed open the door and walked out.

"What's going on?" Seeing that the soldiers outside the door were busy, the guards who had been resting in the house rushed out of the house in a hurry, disheveled, and couldn't help but ask angrily.

"Subordinate......

Before the guard at the door could answer, he looked sideways to the north, east, and west.

"Quick! Gather men and horses, send people to immediately send an order to the four gates, the Shanyang army has attacked the city, let them go to the city to guard. The rest of the people, along with General Ben, immediately went to the Nanyu Gate. Sun Qi hurriedly ordered.

The Armed Guards are indeed a Guard Army and are well-trained. Its reaction speed was also extremely fast, and when Sun Qilian arrived at the south gate, the two thousand defenders of Shen Sheng were all in place, sword and shield soldiers, pikemen, and archers, all of which were complete and guarded on the city wall.

However, at this moment, it was pitch black, silent, and there was no movement.

"What's going on? What about the sentry? Sun Qilian asked angrily.

"General Hui, the enemy army outside the city raided and shot fifteen of my soldiers guarding the city, and then there was no movement." An officer on duty reported urgently.

"Tired of the army? Damn it! Seeing that some of the soldiers were still untidy, Sun Qilian's heart was full of anger. The soldiers knew without asking that they must have been asleep and awakened by the sound of the siege.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside the city, and Sun Qi even hated it in his heart, but he was helpless.

"Double the duty, and the rest, go back to the camp and rest! A is not separated! Sun Qi said with hatred.

Sure enough, not long after Sun Qi finished inspecting the four gates and just lay down, just as he was about to fall asleep, there were shouts of killing, drums, and horns outside the city.

Sun Qilian wanted the soldiers to ignore it, but he wasn't sure if the enemy forces outside the city were really attacking the city.

He went up to the city wall full of anger, only to see that the sound of shouting in the distance was getting closer and closer. The torches were like stars in the dark night, dotted with stars, and it was obvious that a large number of people rushed to kill them.

"Are you really going to attack the city?" Sun Qilian's heart moved. But seeing that many soldiers were yawning and listless, they couldn't help but shout angrily.

However, what is surprising is that this large group of men and horses suddenly stopped when they were about six or seven hundred meters away from the outside of the city, and then the torches were lit up in a dark light, and it could be vaguely seen that these people were the Shanyang Army, about seven or eight hundred people, with swords and guns like a forest, and bright armor. These Shanyang soldiers, beating their armor and shields, shouted for killing, but did not approach.

"The whole army is ready, the archers come forward!"

Sun Qi gave an order, and seven or eight hundred people on the city wall immediately stepped forward and bent their bows and arrows. At the same time, there was a sound of metal resonating from the city wall, the long sword was unsheathed, the sharp axe was raised, the spear was pointed forward, and the blade flashed with cold light.

However......

"The momentum is good, worthy of the Armed Guards! Hahaha...... Remove! ”

At this moment, no one expected that the officers riding on the war horses led by the Shanyang Army outside the city suddenly burst into laughter, and with a wave of their hands, hundreds of Shanyang soldiers all turned around and walked back in laughter, and soon disappeared into the vast night, without the slightest intention of attacking.

"! And so it is again! Seeing this, Sun Qilian couldn't help but scold angrily. This is especially true of the soldiers, who will not be comfortable if they get them up in the middle of the night. On the city wall, a series of angry scolding suddenly came.

"Back to camp and rest! The soldiers were all divided into two parts, one to defend the city and the other to rest. Hear the sound of shouting and killing, drums and trumpets again, rest the soldiers, and do not give military orders, and are not allowed to come out. Sun Qi roared with hatred.

"This time, I have to sleep with my ears plugged, otherwise, even in the barracks, I won't be able to stand up to this! Fuck, Sanyo Jun, it's so shameless! One of the soldiers scolded angrily.

"Yes, in the quiet night, let them make such a fuss, how can they sleep!" Another soldier couldn't help but say.

"You say, this drum and trumpet is just that, why is the shouting and killing sound so loud, few of them come out!"

"Who knows, go to sleep!"

After returning to the county government and inquiring about the other three gates, Sun Qilian learned that in addition to the south gate, the other two gates were the same, and he was stunned and was tricked by the Shanyang army.

"Tired soldiers! What a tired plan! First of all, it broke the hearts of our army, and then it was a strategy to exhaust the troops. This Shanyang Army should not be underestimated, and it is much more powerful than the Yanzhou Mansion Army. Sun Qilian frowned and said.

"Give an order to the other three gates, like the north gate, the soldiers are divided into two parts, one sleeps and the other guards the city."

Outside the city, the Sanyang Army camp.

"Hahaha...... General, you don't know what the guards in the city have been played by us, and they all hurriedly ran up the city wall to defend the city, yawning for a long time. Li Guochang laughed.

Zhao Xun also laughed secretly, speaking of which, there is nothing special about it. But at this special time, it can play a special role, but I don't know what the situation in the city is.

"No wonder the general let us rest in the afternoon, it turns out that we are here, if we continue like this, the enemy troops defending the city will have to scold our mother." Zhang Yongxue laughed.

Li Guochang smiled: "I'm afraid, they are scolding their mother now." ”
