After listening attentively, Yao Ruoyu showed a smile: "It seems that there is already a fight at the East Gate." ”

"Chu Hao has an arrogant temperament, and he was naturally unwilling to lose to Ren Jiasheng last time," he smiled sarcastically, Xu Xuanrong said disdainfully, "Now that Chu is in a hurry to attack the city, he is naturally eager to attack the city, so that he will be the first to break through the city gate and atone for his crimes." ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said: "Although there are the three sons of the Chu family over there, Mad Dog, Siyu, Xunhuan, Chaozan, Abu and others are all in the Three Realms, and it is not false, but I am worried that they will dispatch the Four Realms." ”

"There may be, but there must not be many, to enter the four realms, you need to break the human barrier, you are already a master of Xiaocheng, naturally you can't be damaged in this kind of place. Xu Xuanrong smiled.

Nodding, Yao Ruoyu turned his head to look at the Yanggu Army who was still calm outside the city, and frowned: "After a small defeat, why didn't there be any movement?"

After all, Chu Xuan's eyesight was not as good as Chu Zheng's, and he couldn't see the problem of these iron nets, he had already led the army to attack once just now, but he was made a mess by the iron nets and ditches, and he was also bombarded by ballistas, leaving dozens of corpses behind and retreating.

Grinning, Yang Renjie smiled evilly: "Maybe Chu Da Bang mallet was thinking about abandoning the darkness and turning to the light, and came to join us, but he was discovered by Chu Xuan, and then led the army to besiege it, and finally lost the enemy and was captured, and now he is being interrogated by the king of Chu!"

"You can go write a novel......" Touching his chin a little speechlessly, Yao Ruoyu smiled foolishly.

Just as they were talking, the Yanggu Army, which had always been quiet and motionless, finally moved.

I saw that all the soldiers in the phalanx on the left retreated, and then began to set up camp, while the soldiers in the phalanx on the right were divided into five, one of them went to the first ditch under the leadership of Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan, dug and filled in the soil, and the others rested in place.

Seeing this, Xu Xuanrong bowed slightly, and chuckled: "Not arrogant or impatient, but also steady." ”

"You're as old as him!" Yao Ruoyu glanced at her and said with a smile.

"The one who reaches first, what's wrong?" Xu Xuanrong pursed his lips lightly and said disdainfully.

Shrugging her shoulders, Yao Ruoyu didn't bother to argue with her, turned her head and said to Yang Renjie: "Tease, Meng Mengda and I are responsible for dealing with the Five Realms and Chu Yuan, and you are still in charge." ”

"Good. Yang Renjie nodded aggressively, turned around and commanded Jia Hang and Luo Jiaxin, and immediately the two of them left separately, and after a while, they saw the city's ballistas firing in unison, and countless stone bullets rose into the air and smashed towards the outside of the city.

Seeing the countless stone bullets flying, Chu Yuan immediately pursed his lips disdainfully, he wanted to pick up the war hammer for defense, but after thinking about it, he put down the war hammer, and then snatched the war knife of the attendant on his side, aimed at a stone bullet and threw it out directly.

The steel sword flew out of his hand, like a flash of silver light, and directly slashed a stone bullet to pieces. But when the stone was shattered, the steel knife had already twisted into a twist, and it could not be used at all.

"Haha, I know!" Chu Yuan said with a grin.

Because he was born with divine power, ordinary weapons would not be destroyed in a few days in his hands, so after a long time, he simply only used inferior weapons, which were all inferior anyway, and it would not be a pity if they were broken.

However, at this moment, the war was imminent, and he naturally didn't want to destroy his weapon, so he had an idea and directly grabbed the squire's weapon and threw it as a hidden weapon, so that he could defend against stone bullets and not damage his own weapon, which was really a double win.

Chu Yuan, who felt that he was satisfied, snatched several sabers one after another, and threw them out again in the same way, shattering several stone bullets.

It's just that he is proud here, and the attendants on his side are full of wry smiles, they are responsible for protecting Chu Yuan, but before the battle is fought, the weapon was first damaged by the person he wants to protect, and those war knives are made of stainless steel, how can the stone bullets be damaged, and the reason why they become twisted is completely caused by Chu Yuan's divine power.

After tossing for a while, Chu Xuan and the others finally filled in the first ditch, and then everyone retreated, and more than five hundred people immediately came out of the four remaining parts and continued to fill the second ditch in their place.

Because there were only about five hundred people in each dispatch, and Chu Xuan deliberately dispersed the formation, almost half of the stone bullets shot at the head of the city were missed, and the rest were stopped by Chu Yuan and Chu Xuan, and only a few stone bullets hit people.

In this way, in just a few hours, Chu Xuan and the others had already filled in four ditches in a row. And they didn't fill all the ditches, only the middle section, so that the two phalanxes could quickly come to the city wall.

Yao Ruoyu and the others couldn't help but secretly bow their heads when they saw this, and Yao Ruoyu even sighed: "It is said that Chu Zheng's strategy is the head of the five sons of the Chu family, but now look at it, Chu Xuan's strategy is not lost in the slightest!"

Yao Ruoyu didn't know that the attack at the East Gate was because Chu Hao insisted on attacking, and thought that Chu Zheng did not see through the role of the ditch and the iron net, so he sighed like this.

At this time, Yang Renjie had already strode over with his armor on, and frowned: "Old demon, the situation is not good, in this way, they will be able to open up the road under the city wall tomorrow morning, and their losses are not big, even if we fight back desperately, they will lose a hundred people at most." ”

The ballistas in Hezhou City are not endless, there are only seventeen on the south gate, and only five or six can hit people in each attack, even if they attack without sleep, they will kill a maximum of 100 people by tomorrow morning, and they will not be able to hurt the opponent's bones at all.

Smiling, Yao Ruoyu explained: "The original purpose of arranging these iron nets and ditches was not to use them for combat, but to disgust them and consume their physical strength, and I didn't think about relying on these things for actual combat, so it doesn't matter." ”

Glancing at the soldiers of the Yanggu Army outside the city, who had turned into a construction team, Yang Renjie grinned: "Then you have hired people to dig for so long?"

"It's not official, how can you let Chu Xuan and them work hard?" Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly, and then glanced at Xu Xuanrong, who groaned slightly, and said: "The iron net can be said to be the cavalry nemesis, I believe that with Chu Yange's eyesight, he will not fail to see this, so the other party will naturally value our wisdom more and cherish it." ”

Only then did Yang Renjie understand that he dared to love Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong to do such a trick, mainly to show Chu Yangge the talent of himself and others, and to stimulate the other party's heart of cherishing talents.

Glancing at Yao Ruoyu and Xu Xuanrong, Yang Renjie couldn't help but crook his mouth, he could see that although these two guys seemed to be out of everything, they didn't know how much they were hiding, and even their group of classmates were hiding it, this kind of action was simply ...... Shameless!

*——*——*——*

Because of Chu Hao's stubbornness, they lost at least 300 people in the first attack, and in desperation, he could only follow Chu Zheng's advice and order his soldiers to dig the mountain soil, fill the ditches and sweep the iron fence.

Until dusk, seeing that the Yanggu army did not attack again, Yao Ruoyu knew that the other party planned to wait for the ditches to be filled in before officially attacking, so he told Yang Renjie to send people to keep an eye on the movements outside the city, and then returned to the city lord's mansion with Xu Xuanrong and others, and went to eat and rest.

Yao Ruoyu and the others also knew that there were more than ten ditches and barbed wire fences outside the city, and the city was brightly lit, so they didn't have to worry about the enemy attacking at night, but they were afraid that the other party would take advantage of the night to speed up the filling of the ditch and then launch an attack in advance, so they still needed to send people to monitor.

Of course, Chu Xuan and the others also knew this, so they had no intention of attacking at all, and directly let the whole army rest in the camp and continue to fill the ditch tomorrow.

However, after nightfall, Chu Hao asked Chu Xuan to stay in the camp, and he took Chu Zheng to the Yanggu Army camp outside the south gate to discuss the siege strategy with Chu Xuan.

And when they were discussing, Chu Yangge and the other Five Realms battalion generals who accompanied the army were also sitting on one side, but they would not open their mouths to give instructions, but let the five sons of the Chu family play.

Although the literary army occupies the two cities of Hezhou and Diaoyu at the same time, Diaoyu City is now guarded by Luojiaying and the remnants of the two clans, and its overall strength is much higher than that of Hezhou City, so Chu Xuan and the others did not think of attacking Diaoyu City.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Hezhou City is a lonely city, although the strength is equal to his own, but his strength is weak, and the only thing to be afraid of is Yao Ruoyu's combat power that is enough to match the five realms, as well as the tricks of the other party.

However, in Chu Hao's opinion, now that Hezhou City is surrounded by regiments, and the remnants of the two clans have retreated to Diaoyu City, the literary and artistic army can be said to have no reinforcements at all, no matter how cunning Yao Ruoyu is, it is impossible to have a plan to turn the situation around.

Chu Yuan naturally agreed with this, but Chu Xuan and Chu Zheng were skeptical, after all, the previous two defeats were all defeats to the strategy of the literary and artistic army, as the so-called wise people are afraid of strategy, and the brave are afraid of power, the more people who are good at wisdom and strategy, the more cautious they will be in this regard once they fail, so they still suspect that Yao Ruoyu and others still have some back-ups.

Of course, after discussing for a long time, the focus of their dispute was on Yao Ruoyu, and they were all analyzing Yao Ruoyu's character and his layout, but they didn't know that these two layouts were all from Xu Xuanrong, the owner of Hezhou City, who was not put in their eyes at all.

In this era, women are often belittled, even if she is Cao Yuying, the first chief bookkeeper of Chongqing Prefecture, she is often considered to have climbed to this position with the help of Xu Jingmiao's momentum, not to mention the fact that she is the head of a small city in Hezhou, and she has never been valued by them.

While the discussion of the Chu family was lively, Yao Ruoyu and the others were sleeping in the city lord's mansion, Yang Renjie and Fu Feng only arranged soldiers to patrol and guard, and they took a few generals to the camp behind the city and fell asleep, not caring if there would be a night attack outside the city.
