The tragic siege of the city, in the feeling of living on both sides of the attack and defense, five days passed little by little.

With the perseverance of the coalition forces, there has been an additional slope about five meters high under the southern city wall of Wu'an, and I don't know how many corpses of displaced people are mixed in the middle. Because the casualties were so severe, in the past two days, no matter how much the rebels tempted them with food and starved them, those frightened homeless people did not dare to enlist.

At this critical juncture, the coalition forces of the thirteen forces invariably chose to tear their faces.

Until then, they had only used relatively mild means to induce the displaced people to use them for their own purposes. Seeing that the displaced people were no longer obedient, the coalition forces began to use strong measures, drawing one out of ten, and letting these displaced people choose their own people.

This is also the method that Chen Wu learned from "Empire".

If the rebels come forward to forcibly pull people, the hatred of the displaced people will undoubtedly come directly at the rebels. Now that one out of every ten people is drawn and they are left to choose, the situation is different. The displaced people found an opportunity to take advantage of it, either in tandem or by personal force, and elected others to be sent to death.

In this way, the hatred is indirectly transferred to these companions who elected them.

Moreover, this method of drawing one out of ten has also given many homeless people a sense of luck, so as not to completely push them to the opposite side.

Relying on this method of exploiting human nature, the coalition army once again requisitioned a large number of displaced people. Under the pressure of the powerful bullets of various forces, they were driven to death little by little. Although this will be much less efficient, the slope height of the earth has become higher and higher under the successive filling of the wheelbarrows.

When the outcasts were finally able to stand on the slope without relying on the ladder, they could raise their spears and stab the officers and soldiers on the city wall. The battlefield was briefly quiet.

Soldiers on the side of the coalition forces. There was an amazing cheer.

Officers and soldiers at the head of the city. It was a dead silence.

In the face of the thieves' ladder siege, they can keep killing the thieves and destroying the ladder, so that they will never be able to climb the city. But in the face of this siege, the officers and soldiers felt a little helpless. Although the progress was very slow, the slope was steadily increasing little by little, which was the most demoralizing. Even, the more thieves they killed, the faster the slope seemed to rise......

There are no walls to rely on. Can Wu'an City still be as stable as a mountain as they thought, and it will never be breached?

Not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even the captains and captains of many officers and soldiers couldn't help but be a little shaken in their hearts. They knew very well that despite the heavy casualties of the thieves these days, those who died were almost all worthless outcasts. A real elite army of thieves, almost unscathed.

On the other hand, in the Wu'an official army, several trebuchets and bed crossbows have been damaged due to wear and tear. Although it has been re-put into service after emergency repairs by the Ordnance Division, this is enough to explain something. What's more, the previous reserve of rolling wood and stones. As the earthen platform continues to be piled up, the power is getting smaller and smaller. The brigade commander of the garrison brigade, Kang He. Even the abandonment of this kind of city defense equipment has already begun.

By any measure, the shape is getting worse and worse.

Day 7!

The dirt slope under the southern city wall has finally reached a critical point. Some of the taller people who had ascended to the camp could climb onto the city walls on tiptoe and fight the officers and soldiers defending the city.

At this point, the real siege seems to be close at hand.

Realizing that the crisis was approaching, the officers and soldiers transferred the bed crossbows and stone throwers of the other three city walls, almost to saturate the firepower of this small section of the city wall. All the forces that can be mobilized are also concentrated, ready to fight a fierce battle with the thief army at any time. Martial law has also been imposed at various important points in the city to prevent possible destruction by thieves.

On the rebel side, they are indeed ready to attack the city.

However, when inspecting the city defense of the official army yesterday, Chen Wu unexpectedly recognized a familiar person in "Empire" on the east city wall: He Shixiang, the captain of the first garrison brigade and the third wing of Wu'an!

Originally, if he hadn't happened to meet him to inspect the official army, Chen Wu would probably not have remembered that there was such a person. Although a wing commander is also a high-level officer, it is still a bit inadequate compared to the entire Wu'an. But this coincidental encounter stimulated Chen Wu's memory.

He remembered a piece of information about He Shixiang's background.

This information made Chen Wu think of a plan temporarily. Maybe in the end, it won't have any effect, and it will be a waste of effort, but if it succeeds, it can add a lot of chaos to Wu'an's officers and soldiers.

At this critical juncture, even if he can win more than half a point, Chen Wu is willing to try.

So, after coming back and plotting, Chen Wu summoned Lin Anluo in the Chinese military tent.

After the coalition army arrived at the city of Wu'an, the son-in-law of the Lin family and the general of the Wu'an army has been detained in the camp. At this moment, I was suddenly received, and after a little surprise, I quickly thought of something. He remembered that Chen Wu had said before that he would consider what to do with him when he arrived in Wu'an City. Now that the siege is halfway through, could it be ......

Guessing a few possibilities in his heart, Lin Anluo walked into the big tent.

"Brother Lin, please take a seat!"

Chen Wu looked full of spring breeze, as if he had some great joy, and even his attitude was a lot warmer.

Lin Anluo's heart moved, his face remained unchanged, he sat down after bowing, pretended not to notice Chen Wu's joy, and asked, "When the general saw Lin, he didn't know what was going on?" ”

Chen Wu motioned to the soldiers in the tent to serve tea, and then said: "Naturally, it is to fulfill the previous promise!" Now that the army has arrived in Wu'an, and the siege is about to have results, the general can be sent back. ”

After listening to Chen Wu's words, Lin Anluo's face showed just the right amount of joy, and said, "Is this true, general? Nothing else? ”

"There is no condition, but there is a sentence I want to ask Brother Lin to help convey it."

Chen Wu said casually while drinking tea.

Lin Anluo nodded and said, "This matter is easy, but I don't know who the general wants to pass the word to?" ”

"Transfer it to your master!"

After pointing out the target, Chen Wu glanced at Lin Anluo, and said in a tone with great confidence, as if he didn't care that the Lin family would refuse: "Just say it." If the Lin family is in the city when our righteous army is attacking the city. No private soldiers get in the way. After the city is broken, I can keep Lin's house safe. ”

This thief is so arrogant!

Lin Anluo's first reaction was this idea, just a thief, and he dared to make such a request to the Lin family of the Eight Great Gates. Even if the rebel army is now grounded to the level of the city wall, it will be able to attack the city in the near future, but it is still unknown whether it can be captured. What's more, although the main force of the righteous army was not damaged, the main force of the official army was even more not. Two integrated brigades were there. Even if there is no city wall, everyone fights equally, Lin Anluo does not think that Wu'an will lose.

However, in Lin Anluo's impression, Chen Wu is not like the kind of person who likes to speak wildly.

There is only one most likely reason why he dares to boast like this and let himself talk - what decisive hole card he has in his hand, and after it is revealed, it can be determined that the city will be broken. Even, even if the Lin family has a private army, it may not be able to save the situation. That's the only way to go. The other party can be so sure.

What exactly is the means?

Lin Anluo's heart thought quickly.

At the time of Rum Mountain. He didn't mind doing Chen Wu a favor, that was because he didn't think Chen Wu could defeat Wu'an. But now, the shape is different, and his attitude has naturally come to a fundamental reversal. After all, most of the Lin family's foundation and three hundred years of accumulation are in Wu'an City. Once the city is broken, the Lin family's loss will be the greatest, followed by the empire!

However, there are too many factors that may have led to the destruction of the city. Without clues, it was difficult for Lin Anluo to guess.

"Brother Lin, why, don't you even want to say a word?"

Seeing that Lin An was slightly distracted, Chen Wu aggravated his tone with some displeasure.

"The general's words are serious!"

Lin An came back to his senses slightly, hurriedly surrendered his hand, and said: "Thanks to the general's grace of not killing, and he has been taking care of him these days, Lin will definitely do his best to help with this little thing." No matter what the head of my Lin family decides, Lin will immediately send the reply back. ”

"That's very good."

Chen Wu nodded, and was about to serve tea to the guests, but on a whim he thought of something, and said: "Tonight, I will prepare to invite the leaders of the armies, if Brother Lin is interested, you might as well come over together, and I will resign for you." ”

Lin Anluo was worried that he didn't have a chance to contact Chen Wu further, and when he heard this, he immediately agreed.

Although drinking with a group of thieves will definitely be criticized if it spreads, if you can hear some news from the banquet, it will not be able to change the situation of Wu'an.

At this moment, he cares very much about the "hole card" that Chen Wu may have!

Just as he got up and left the tent, with the help of a glance back intentionally or unintentionally when he went out, Lin Anluo saw Chen Wu pick up an arrow from the case in front of him and throw it aside. Before he could take a closer look, the two volunteers blocked his view again and pushed him back to the camp where he had been held.

An Arrow......

How could there be an arrow on General Tiangong's marching case?

Could it be that the flying arrows shot from Wu'an City passed the book?

Lin Anluo suddenly thought of a possibility, and his heart was shocked!

………

"Come on, everyone, let's have this toast together! He captures Wu'an one day, and we are the overlord of this Taiping County! ”

"Haha, if you were only five points sure before, after today's event, you will have to be eight percent to say the least."

"Eh, Lord Caomen is cautious! Don't divulge it! ”

"Yes, yes, be cautious! Don't talk about military affairs today, just drink good wine! It's a pity that there is no wine like Hanjingfang, but there is no beauty to accompany it, which is a big pity. ”

"Lao Cao, you can bear with it. After waiting for these two days, I took Wu'an, are you still afraid that there will be no ******? ”

"! This glass of wine, I wish us success in advance! ”

The leaders of the thirteen forces of the coalition gathered together, drinking and having fun in a profligate manner, and a few vulgar words were heard from time to time. The war is imminent, but the leader has such a posture, which makes Lin Anluo secretly disdainful in his heart. If the officers and troops in Wu'an City are bolder, they will send troops to attack at night tonight, and the thieves will be leaderless, and they may be able to make miraculous achievements in a battle.

It's a pity......

Looking at the guards outside, Lin Anluo gave up this unrealistic idea. The patrol of the rebels in the camp was quite strict, and even if the leader was drunk, it would be difficult for the officers and soldiers to sneak attack.

Thinking like this, he looked at Chen Wu, who seemed to be about to get drunk, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

For the first time, Lin Anluo began to take the initiative to persuade Chen Wu to drink! (To be continued......)
