Liuliu was also happy in his heart, "This is all thanks to Mr. Xiaogan's clever plan, and he thanked Mr. on behalf of the people of the whole city."
Liuluo led the officials of the city to salute Zhongli Mu.
Zhong Li was busy and said, "Why should the prince be polite, protecting the homeland is the duty of the grass people, and I really dare not do it."
Liuluo also understood Zhong Limu's surname, led everyone into the palace, and said, "Although the thief army is defeated, it can hurt its muscles and bones in the end, but I am afraid that it will go to the city without saying it, I don't know if there is a good way to retreat from the enemy?"
Zhong Limu frowned slightly, "This time it has dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the thief army, as long as you delay for two days, you can wait for the reinforcements to arrive, but the thief army has suffered setbacks repeatedly, and it must be fierce, and this wave attack is not easy to deal with."
Liuluo was also uneasy when he heard this, and he was really not sure in his heart to resist Shanyue's attack.
"My lord, in fact, there is no need to worry too much, these few days the city is prepared together, and a lot of defensive equipment is also prepared, and the thieves only know how to loot, not good at attacking the city, as long as everyone works together, Luling will be safe."
It was a young scribe who was left behind, who was Zhong Limu's younger brother Zhong Liqiu.
"Oh?" Liuxiao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Why is Mr. Xiao Shi so sure?"
Zhong Liqiao looked up at the sky outside the house and replied, "I observed the celestial phenomena, that is, the heavy rain is coming, and the thieves will lose the first battle.
Liuwei looked at the sky suspiciously, the sun was in the sky, and the wind was warm, the dazzling sun almost made him cry, hesitated, and said, "It's a bright day, it doesn't look like it's going to rain."
Zhong Limu seemed to be full of confidence in this younger brother, smiled, and said, "Although the prince of the mansion can rest assured, the younger brother likes to study the celestial phenomena since he was a child, and he has been guided by masters, and he has studied the phenomena of Qianyi, so it will not be groundless."
Seeing that Liuliu was still hesitant, he had to comfort him, saying, "Even if it doesn't rain, the thieves have come from afar, and there will be no siege equipment, as long as they can hold the wave attack, the morale of the Shanyue thieves will fall to a low point, and the morale of the army will be weakened, and there will be no more threat."
Liuxiao nodded when he heard this, knowing that he was the lord of the city, and he should set an example, and re-shake his spirit at the moment, saying, "The mountains are not more than the rabble, as long as the soldiers and civilians in my city are up and down, the city will be safe!"

Looking at the city that was getting closer and closer in front of him, the hatred in Zu Lang's heart was getting deeper and deeper, and his two hands were trembling slightly.
At this time, he was not so anxious, and it was already afternoon, and the flame was slanting westward, pulling out a long shadow from the corner tower of Luling City.
Zu Lang stared coldly at the city wall built on the mountain in the distance, although only the east gate and the north gate could be attacked, but the city wall here was as he expected, low, dilapidated, and unprotected by a moat.
The Yamayue army marched forward steadily, and the Yamayue army, which had never been in military discipline, was surprisingly unified at this time, and every step made a neat sound, shaking the earth.
It's not that Zu Lang is afraid of any ambush ahead, he wants to let the people in the city feel the pressure and murderous aura brought by these warriors, so that those people are afraid in waiting, maybe they will open the city and surrender.
"Humph!" Zu Lang sneered in his heart, "I want to surrender now, it's too late, this king wants you to understand the serious consequences of needless resistance!" In the beautiful artistic conception he envisioned, step by step, the corner of Zu Lang's mouth flashed a cold smile, and a killing scene had been hidden in his eyes.
------------
305 embarrassed to retreat
Only from the city, the land of arrows, can clearly see the faces of those people in the city, Zu Lang sneered, his right hand raised high, hoarse voice like death from the ground, ordered, "Kill!" At this time, the Shanyue army did not need to boost morale at all, and even the depression and humiliation that came cast a shadow of shame on the warrior hearts of those people, and at this time, seeing that the city was in front of them, they could immediately break through the gate and rob them well, and then the food, wine, and women would be all their own
of.
With Zu Lang's sword pointing forward, everyone rushed to the city wall with red eyes, wanting to enjoy the pleasure of killing as soon as possible.
Seeing batches of warriors fall under the city wall, Zu Lang's expression changed from yin to excited, and then from excitement to surprise, and finally his face was distorted to see any expression, if it wasn't for the pro-ping ping pong pulling him aside, he would have rushed to the city wall. Yunxuan Pavilion
In vain, he lost thousands of ping pong strength, but there was nothing he could do about the short Luling City, the accidents under the city were piled up, the defenders in the city were still busy, and even many people could be seen helping, Zu Lang was in a hurry.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, he had no choice but to weakly order the withdrawal of the ping-pong pong and retreat ten miles back to set up camp, waiting for Ming to continue the siege.
After retreating to the rear, the Shanyue army was relieved, and some of the soldiers simply sat on the ground, regardless of whether there would be any soldiers in the city who would suddenly chase them out.
Zu Lang sat on a stone and looked at the fading sky, sighed, and thought he had made a mistake, but he kicked it on the stone, and he was not lightly injured.
Looking at the soldiers he brought, all of them were exhausted and haggard, and a small city was so difficult to take, it was indeed what he expected, and there was no siege equipment in the army, thinking about the method of attacking the city.
In the middle of the night, suddenly the wind was fierce, the air was damp, and soon it rained heavily, and the sleeping Shanyue army was woken up by the rain, and it was embarrassed.
Those people didn't have much equipment with them, plus they lost a lot of supplies due to the defeat in the battle, and the morale of the army was sluggish, Shi Ping just hastily set up two big tents for Zu Lang and those people, and the rest slept on the spot, and they were not afraid of catching a cold in summer.
Who would have expected that the sky would be clear in the daylight, but in the middle of the night there would be a sudden wind and rainstorm, and even a place to shelter from the rain could not be found.
The gloomy sky was not as paleas as Zu Lang's face, and his eyes were dripping with water, and he couldn't say a word when he looked at the drenched spills in front of him.
Standing outside the tent, listening to the sound of the rain, the low but standing city in the distance was still lit with torches, and the rain seeped in his clothes, Zu Lang came back to his senses and squeezed out the word from between his teeth, "Withdraw!"
The lieutenant general was stunned, unexpected—Xiang had only said two words to the shrewd and calculating Grand Leader at this most critical moment.
The military order was given, and the deputy general also felt that the siege was hopeless, and immediately ordered the soldiers to pack up and withdraw the army, thinking of all the things that came out this time, his heart was extremely indignant, and even the Luling Taishou didn't see it, so he retreated, but I was afraid that the expressions of the other leaders would be very exciting, right?

After Pan Lin and Zulang left, Mao Gan immediately led the table tennis to approach Chaisang, and learned that the Eastern Wu Ping Pong Horse had arrived in Henan, so he did not dare to advance rashly, so he had to stop the army and station.
Jing Hou San said that he was not moving, and Mao Gan was also - he couldn't help but regret secretly in his heart, if he followed Zu Lang and those people, maybe he would have gone into the city to eat and drink, but now he is here to confront Wu Jun, - nothing.
He understood that the Shanyue army was not good at attacking the city, so he sent a small force to collect grain and grass around the city, just waiting for the Wu army to leave the city.
As long as he is in the field, he can give full play to the strengths of the Shanyue army, exterminate the Wu army out of the city, and he can take Yu.
After occupying Henan, he can replenish grain and grass, and then take the opportunity to capture Chaisang.
As for Pan Lin and Zu Lang's people, he didn't have much hope, if he could gain something, it might play a definite role.
These guys who only care about their immediate interests, Mao Gan disdains to argue with those people, how can the jackal understand the dream pursued by the lion?
The corners of Mao Gan's mouth pursed - a proud smile and ordered the army to meet the enemy.
"This time, the Wu army came rashly, not knowing the might of our warriors, and the battle will teach those people a profound lesson, so that the Wu people can understand our strength."
Turning over a small hill, Mao Gan looked at the uneven slopes in front of him, which was not wide and rugged, and said confidently. Although there is nothing to gain so far, but the battle is what You Tu was born to like, nothing than the battle on the battlefield made him feel enjoyable, licked the dry mouth, bowed, and said, "The king is right, we are now also well-armored and ping-pong weapons, like a tiger with wings,
Leave this to me!"
Mao Gan looked at You Tu, who was eager to fight, and said quietly, "The clansmen all say that Pan Lin is a brave general of Shanyue, and in the eyes of this king, the skills of the leader of You Tu are not much worse than Pan Lin's."
When You suddenly heard this, he couldn't help but be excited, if it weren't for Pan Lin's martial arts being slightly stronger than him, this - the title of warrior would be his, and in terms of strength, he would have the advantage of the duel.
