The soldiers were all tired, and Ye Hao had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw his troops. And they set up camp five hundred meters away. However, the way several large battalions were stationed maintained at all times to encircle the city wall of Nanfeng County.

In this battle alone, the losses of the Ye family's army amounted to two thousand, and due to the advanced siege equipment of Le'an County, there is no need to think about it carefully, the death toll in Nanfeng County will be at least five or five. Looking at the 'medical team' treating the wounded, I am afraid that the next siege battle will be more tragic, and even evolve into a war of attrition, Ye Hao couldn't help but sigh.

The sledgehammer came to Ye Hao's side, only to see that his whole body seemed to be watered with blood, and there was an arrow wound on his left arm, his face was a little tired, and he said to Ye Hao: "Lord, you go and rest first, there is a sledgehammer to watch, no problem." ”

"Oh, does it matter if you're injured?" Since Wangcai's death, Ye Hao didn't want anything to happen to the sledgehammer, otherwise he would have to die of guilt.

"Young master who is out of the way, it's just a small injury."

At this moment, the soldiers on Nanfeng City heard that the city had withdrawn their troops, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, this difficult day had finally passed, and they were exhausted. Although there are a lot of garrisons prepared on the wall of Nanfeng County, their total number of soldiers and horses is only 6,000 people, and they lost almost half of them in today's battle.

The most important thing is that Nanfeng County can't withstand such attrition, the Ye family's army can attack their city at will in various sections of the city wall, but Nanfeng County can only be tired of running, so it is easy to be attacked by bows and arrows and stones.

At this time, there were already more than a dozen soldiers defending the city, slumped on the ground. Their faces were extremely pale, for they all understood that today's siege was a tragic prelude, but it was only a prelude to a tentative one.

The Ye family army has not all been engaged in the siege, and what awaits them tomorrow will be a more fierce offensive. Moreover, what made them most sad was that Linzi City, the capital of Qi State, was itself in the midst of war, and would not give them the soldiers and horses sent to rescue, which meant that their Nanfeng County had become an isolated city. If the Ye family army does not retreat, Nanfeng County will fall sooner or later.

The soldiers in the city sat together in groups of three or five to discuss today's battle. discussed the bravery of the soldiers of the Le'an Army, and became even more afraid of the Ye Family.

At night, the moon hangs high and the stars are dotted.

That night, more than 1,000 soldiers defending the city defected to Nanfeng County, and a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform and a thin appearance mixed in the fleeing team, heading towards the north gate outside the city, a camp of the Ye family's army.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for Ye Hao, and he is worried about how to break the city next. This time. Suddenly, I heard a heavy footstep outside the camp. Ye Hao turned his head and saw a sledgehammer striding in, and several soldiers behind him tied up a man in an official uniform.

"Young master, this person said that he was looking for you for something, I suspect that he is a spy, I specially inquired just now, he is the master of the county order of Nanfeng County."

Touts? When Ye Hao heard this, he looked at it with a pair of eyes. I saw that this middle-aged man was a little thin and small, and his face was small. It's a bit like Wangcai, with thief eyebrows and rat eyes, a lewd look on his face, and his eyes are drifting.

Seeing this person, Ye Hao's face showed a slight smile, and he stepped forward to untie him. said in a gentle tone: "I was offended just now, please don't be surprised, you said you wanted to see me, what is the matter?" ”

The master fell to his knees with a plop and nodded his head to the ground. Crawling up, he said loudly: "Lord Taishou, please let go of the fathers and villagers of Nanfeng County, don't slaughter the city, the villain begs you, please." ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed vigorously.

"Why did the master say this? I didn't say I was going to kill civilians, where did you hear that? Ye Hao stepped forward to help this master and asked a little puzzled.

"Really?" The master was obviously a little skeptical.

"Of course it's true, I, Ye Hao, have never said such a thing."

"But my lord said that you said so." Later, after the master's eyes rolled and he understood, it turned out that this was Liu Xi's strategy, and he was just to promote Ye Hao's cruelty and arouse the anger of the people in Nanfeng County. But even he, the master, was deceived. But that's not what he's here for.

"I think you're misunderstood, I don't know where you heard this, I didn't say anything like that anyway. Now that our army has swept through all the counties of Qi State, it is bound to go straight to Linzi and take the entire Qi country! Now our army is at war with you, Nanfeng County Commander Liu Xi is incompetent, if the master can help me take Nanfeng County, I will let you serve as the county commander of Nanfeng County! Ye Hao also somewhat understood the meaning of the person in front of him, and took the initiative to speak.

Is this to make yourself a prefectural magistrate? The master was a little moved, trembled slightly, and said respectfully: "Liu Xi is mediocre, he shouldn't let the entire Nanfeng County fall into the flames of war, let everyone follow him to accompany the funeral, the villain is willing to accept the position of county order." ”

So, on this night, Ye Hao and Master began to talk. Talking about the time of tea, the master happily went back to Nanfeng County.

On the second day, at ten o'clock in the morning, the army of Le'an County moved in a neat military formation and approached the city wall of Nanfeng County again.

The county lieutenant on the city wall saw the Ye family army under the city wall move, and scolded loudly.

The Ye family's army advanced and retreated in a measured manner, not moved at all, and did not fight back when he heard the scolding. The whole army was in good order, but this time it was not seen that the vanguard began to attack the city, but in the middle of the grind, two thousand archers were outside the range of the archers on the city wall, and their arrows were aimed at the city gate, and the bow was not slackened at all. Lock the gate of this city firmly, so that the enemy looks a little puzzled, which one is this singing? You're just around us, okay?

"Siege!" Ye Hao burst out and ordered the siege of the city.

"Brothers, kill!"

Hearing the earth-shattering sound of war drums, a majestic and heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor rushed out from behind the archers' troops, but seeing that they were all holding large shields in their left hands and steel spears in their right hands, led by Chen Zhi, they took the lead in killing the city gate. A fierce aura like a golden iron horse echoed throughout the battlefield.

"Boom!" The sound of horses' hooves roared, a thousand heavy cavalry rushed to the city gate, suddenly parted to the left and right, a huge siege vehicle appeared in front of everyone in the middle, the beam of the siege vehicle was fifteen meters long, hundreds of heavy infantry pushed forward quickly, the sharp cone at the top of the collision car was forged, and the cold light was shining.

Crashing and crashing, creaking against the ground.

"Boom!" The siege engines began to ram the gates, making a loud noise that resounded through the heavens and the earth. The junction between the huge paulownia gate and the city wall fell piles of masonry and broken wooden blocks under the impact of siege vehicles.

The huge impact force was so huge that even the entire Nanfeng County Gate Tower was shaking, like an earthquake! (To be continued......)
