The night moon rises.

Outside the Dingdu City, after a day of hustle and bustle, it finally calmed down at this time. In this tranquility, except for the sound of the night wind blowing the fierce black flags above the city, I listened for a while, and I could barely hear that someone seemed to be climbing the city wall carefully under the night shadow. If it weren't for the crisp, subtle sound of the weapon in his mouth hitting the city wall, I am afraid that it would be extremely difficult to find someone climbing the city wall.

However, it was precisely because of hearing that the guards who stayed on the city gate and were sleepy were startled and shouted: "There is an enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!" ”

Just shouted these three words a few times, no need to shout other words, the originally quiet city suddenly jingled and jingled, one by one staring at the faintly visible black figure under the city wall, smiling or shooting arrows, or throwing swords and stones, just a moment later, I heard a scream from under the city wall, and it lasted for nearly half an hour.

Looking at the failure of the first wave of raids after nightfall from a distance, Kong Zhongyi did not have too much resentment, in his opinion, although it is indeed a pity that his son-in-law died tragically, but as the commander of an army, what he did was not to regret and cry, the most important thing to do now is to capture the capital city and kill all the enemy troops to avenge these young sons who have shed their blood and lives!

"General, the two hundred brothers who led the battle are all ...... They have all died tragically at the hands of the wicked! The general came in to report, although he didn't say anything, Kong Zhongyi still heard the dissatisfaction in his words.

"I ......naturally know what you think in your heart," he sighed lightly, he instructed the people to get up, and said: "According to the people who survived yesterday afternoon, the number of people who set up ambushes on the left, right, and rear flanks of our army is far from as few as we saw at the beginning, and I am afraid that this is also because their Di brothers have fought hard to bite off a piece of the old man's flesh...... Less than 5,000 of the 45,000 people came back, and counting their previous advantages in terms of terrain and timing, they didn't want to gnaw this piece of meat and bone if they didn't come up with something, so I estimate that there are less than 50,000 people in the city......"

"General, if you know, why don't you give the order to continue the assault? You must know that after two days of continuous bombardment, there are only 10,000 people in the city now, as long as you give the order, which of the other gates in the city cannot attack? Why bother staring at this heavenly gate! The general was already dissatisfied in his heart, but at this time, listening to Kong Zhongyi's gentle attitude, his straight temper collided again, and he said with displeasure.

"You don't know, if we capture the other gates at the same time, although we may capture the city sooner, the casualties will be greater...... We know that we will die, and if we fight back again, we will suffer in the end! This is also the reason why Kong Zhongyi only captured the Heavenly Gate, firstly, the painful lesson of the last detachment attacking the city is still vivid, and he has to deal with it carefully; Second, what he was most worried about was that he worked hard to capture Dingdu City, and in the end, when Song Changgong came, there were few people who could stand up and fight, if this was the case, he Kong Zhongyi would have made a wedding dress for someone else with the name of Raozhou Erlang!

The city shall continue to be attacked, so that the defenders of the city will be tired and let their guard down; The rest of the gates must continue to be left unattacked, except for the small team of men and horses used as guards and surveillance, there are no heavy guards - of course, this is just that there are no heavy guards at the city gate, and after leaving the city gate, continue to walk for a mile, which is the scene of this person out of the city.

"But if we continue to wear it out like this, our losses will be greater and greater...... "Isn't it, the siege can only be carried out quietly in the night, and once discovered, there are only two ways to go: to meet the front and be hacked to death; Retreat backwards and be hacked to death by your own people. Especially those who are between high and low, climbing up, almost every step is a sharp arrow and a stubborn stone; Jumping downward, jumping from a place several feet high, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you are bound to be broken hands and feet, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"The loss is inevitable, even necessary, you know?" When he said this, a trace of coldness appeared on Kong Zhongyi's face, and he looked up at his partial general, who was frightened by his expression and took a few steps back. When he reacted, he couldn't help but be ashamed.

"If there is a sea of fire ahead, someone must act as a sandbag to extinguish the fire; If there is a trench ahead, someone must be willing to jump off the layer upon layer of wall to fill the trench...... Don't you understand this truth? In the end, Kong Zhongyi almost gritted his teeth and asked these words.

However, the effect of this is also obvious, the general hurriedly knelt down, and immediately said: "The last general will not dare!" ”

"Forget it, you keep an eye on it a little more, at most there will be two or three waves, and this city will have to be destroyed!" Kong Zhongyi said this categorically, and when the general heard it, the glint in his eyes could not be hidden, and he retreated even if he responded happily.

However, will this city really be broken after two or three waves of raids?

Although I don't want to admit it, the sound of the flute and the sound of the flute in the city is very clear, and there are only less than 20,000 people at the moment, if you want to survive under the attack of Kong Zhongyi's army, no matter how you look at it, you can't think it's possible.

"Little brother, what did the spies who went out say?" The flute, who was about to go up to the castle tower, saw his younger brother come out of the house and immediately asked.

"Didn't see, still didn't see ......" said this, the red-eyed flute roared like a madman, "how can there be no trace?" Can he Song Changgong's people still spread their wings? ”

"Don't rush!" At this time, he saw that Di Xiang's composure as the eldest brother and the commander of the first army came, and he stretched out his hand to press the flute who was about to go crazy and said, "What are you panicking about?" It's useless to panic! Besides, isn't the time agreed with Mr. Nachou yet to come? Let's hold on a little longer! ”

Mr. Sorrow? The flute was stunned for a moment, but laughed again, which shocked the flute on the side, and while shouting Mr. Xu to come, he stepped forward to ask what happened.

"Mr. Sorrow? Ha ha! This Mr. Sorrow is not as good as this Mr. Xu in front of him! The flute pointed at Mr. Xu, who came closely, and smiled, but this smile is too exaggerated in the eyes of ordinary people!

Although he didn't understand what the flute was saying, but looking at his reaction, the flute vaguely guessed that maybe the little brother had something to hide from him, so he immediately lowered his face and shouted: "Do you still have something to hide from me?" ”

"I ......" the flute smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, but Mr. Xu on the side knew what the flute meant, he was still sad and saw that the time was dragging on for more and more time, and his task had not yet had ......a chance to be completed.

Speaking of this, he paused deliberately, and the flute suppressed his laughter and hurriedly asked, "How?" Say! ”

"Yes!" In response, he pretended to ponder before saying: "In the eyes of the lowly position, the other party ...... No fake! ”

"No...... You mean? Hearing Mr. Xu say this, the flute was stunned for a moment, and then asked with great joy.

"It should be." Mr. Xu nodded.

"But...... Why did he use another identity to ......" Joy flashed, and in the blink of an eye, the flute's face was covered with a cloud of sorrow - if this sorrowful gentleman was true, then why did he come to help him? Why did you come to Queensland?

"I want to come...... I'm afraid I'm going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Lowering his head, Mr. Xu said in a deep voice.

"Sitting on the mountain and watching the ...... Oh! Is he deliberately trying to drive a wedge between us, so that he can reap the benefits of the fisherman? At this time, the flute suddenly exclaimed, and the flute on the side also turned pale when he heard this.

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? The flute drew a knife and was about to cut Mr. Xu, but the flute was busy pulling him, so he narrowly avoided it.

"Big brother! What are you doing? Di Sheng secretly said that it was fortunate that he was fast, otherwise he wouldn't know who else to find the Shenglong Pill he wanted in the future! If it weren't for the fact that Teng Hu was worried about the accident of this trip, and before leaving, he told himself the fact that Mr. Xu was refining the Shenglong Pill, I am afraid that the first person to do it would not be the eldest brother's flute!

"Why don't you tell us in advance? Don't...... Are you one of them? Looking at Mr. Xu, who was already overly frightened and paralyzed on the ground, the flute asked sharply.

"No...... No! Mr. Xu didn't expect that the flute would sound and he didn't even say hello, and the knife just now had no momentum at all, if he really caught up, I am afraid that he would be dead at this time!

"It took nearly two days for the humble post to feel that something was wrong, and then I remembered what he had been talking about in a daze when he was in a coma in my camp, and then compared it with the four sorrows where the real Mr. Sorrow was, I realized that what he was talking about in his coma was the four sorrows! I wonder if I am not really one of them, why would I keep thinking about it like this? After thinking about it, there are only two results, the first is that this person was originally very deep in the city, and even when he was unconscious, he subconsciously used the identity of Mr. Chou to protect himself from the suspicion of others; Second, naturally, he is really worried about Mr. After saying the words in one breath, Mr. Xu stared closely at the knife in the hand of the flute, he had already made up his mind, if the flute still slashed at him at the next moment, he would definitely make the strength to eat milk and run desperately out of the city!

"So, you're only recently aware?" Fortunately, the flute did not move again, but asked coldly.

"Specifically, it's also a matter of the side, the lowly position was about to find the general and the city lord, and halfway through, I heard that you were in a hurry to find the lowly position......"

Mr. Xu's statement is naturally reasonable, otherwise it can't explain why he quickly caught up with the flute as soon as he greeted him, you must know that if ordinary people follow too closely, the sound of the flute and the sound of the flute will not be noticed.

Despite this, Di Xiang didn't seem to choose to fully believe what Mr. Xu meant, and said coldly: "Then in your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

"Continue to pretend you don't know, and do it as planned." When he said this, Mr. Xu straightened his neck as if he was not afraid of death.

"Why?" After hearing the flute, he was also puzzled, and asked with a frown.

"From the humble point of view, it seems that Mr. Chou only wants to drive us out of the city, and has no intention of destroying the enemy, besides, you still have some friendship with him, otherwise he would not have been injured by you when he first met you......"
