"I don't want to go back in embarrassment without doing anything." Si Chen said.

Shen Run glanced at her, smiled, and comforted: "I will definitely take it, I'll be with you, what are you worried about." ”

Si Chen glanced at him and did not speak.

Two hours later, the killing in the outer city gradually stopped, and the burning fire was extinguished, which was a sign that the war was coming to an end.

When the day was about to dawn, the follow-up army of 70,000 came one after another, entered the city and stationed there, forming a formation of two armies facing each other with the outer city of Flame City.

At this time, two people and two horses galloped out from the city gate, and through the clear sky, they saw that the two were Si Qian and Xue Ling.

The two of them rode to the sand dunes where Si Chen and Shen Run were standing, dismounted under the sand dunes, walked up, knelt down and said goodbye.

Xue Ling reported in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the ministers did not disgrace their orders, all the defenders of the outer city were wiped out, and the 20,000 people from the outer city were also incorporated in two batches, and they have been handed over to Lord Si Qian for management." At present, our army is stationed near Shuangyangli, and the people in the inner city have probably received the news that the city gate is closed and heavily guarded, and without His Majesty's order, the ministers and others do not dare to move without permission. ”

Shen Run nodded and whispered to Si Chen:

"Let's take a look before we decide."

Si Chen nodded.

When Si Qian and Xue Ling came, one of them led a horse, and Si Chen turned over on the horse neatly.

Shen Run glanced at her, and his tone was slightly cold: "It turns out that you can ride a horse." ”

Si Chen glanced at him, didn't speak, raised his whip and urged the horse, and galloped towards Flame City.

Shen Run remembered that when she retreated from Long Xiguo that year, he thought that she couldn't ride a horse, so he thought that no matter whether she was in a car by herself or taken away by others, it was impossible for her to escape so fast, and now it seems that she ran away on horseback by herself.

Shen Run rode a horse to follow her, thinking that if he found an opportunity, he must find more information about her, so as not to turn around and be confused by her weakness and be sold by her, and think she was a little pitiful, of course it is okay to indulge her, but it is not okay to be deceived as a fool.

The two entered the outer city.

The commanders of both countries are very good, and the outer city has been cleaned up very neatly after the battle, and the 80,000 combined troops are stationed not far from the inner gate of the Flame City, outside the range of the opponent's archers, and the two sides form a standoff position.

The inner city of the Flame City was probably ready for such a war, and they were able and skillful in the face of the siege, and many stones, boiling water, and hot oil pans were already prepared on the high towers, and the archers all stood on the towers, like straight logs that would not get tired, and behind these "woods" there were shadows hovering the figure of the chief.

The inner walls of Flame City are different from the outer walls, and the inner walls are sloping in an arc that slopes smoothly and smoothly, which is a subtle design to protect against the strong winds of the desert and the enemy army attacking the city. With this kind of inclined arc, it is difficult to catch the ladder, and if you want to climb it with your bare hands, even for the highest, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

There is no shortage of food in the city, and there is no need for horses without fighting, and the siege cannot be attacked, once it enters the range of the inner city of the Flame City, bows and arrows, stones, and boiling water come one after another, not only can the inner city not be captured, but also cause unnecessary casualties.

The weather in the desert is hot, and once a wound appears, it is extremely difficult to heal, and if a serious epidemic is caused by a large number of casualties in the hot weather, the battle will not only not achieve any benefits, but will suffer heavy losses.

Shen Run, Si Chen, and several leaders of both sides stood at the front of the camp, looking at the tall walls of the inner city from afar.

The environment was unfavorable for the combined forces of the two countries, the inner city was on high ground, they were in the low place, and the low place was uncovered, and they were stationed in a wasteland, and there were too many parts exposed to the enemy's view.

The situation observed at the scene was even more dire than expected.

Without resting, Si Chen and Shen Run, together with the senior commanders of the two countries, all entered the military tent to discuss the countermeasures for the siege.

Xue Ling had already drawn a map of the inner city of Flame City and hung it on the display board, and several people frowned around the board to study it carefully, thinking about countermeasures.

Shen Run sat behind the long table.

He originally wanted to find a place for Si Chen to sit down, but Si Chen turned around and sat in the corner of the long table as if no one was around, causing Shen Run to see her graceful back curve as long as he glanced to the side, he couldn't help but always want to see her, and half of his mind was no longer on the map.

Si Chen sat on the long table, staring intently at the map.

Huo Wu, Si Qi, and Si Ba came in from outside, holding the tray in their hands, Si Qi first gave a glass of water to Chenguang, and whispered a few words in Chenguang's ear before putting the teacup in Shen Run's hand, and Huo Wu led Si Ba to send the tray to the main generals of Long Xiguo, with a smile, and said softly:

"This tea was brought by His Highness from the Feng Ming Kingdom, please use it, generals."

The tea brought by His Royal Highness Lord Feng, the people of Longxi didn't dare to slack off, they thanked Si Chen first, took it politely, and said "Thank you, girl" to Huo Wu and Si Ba.

Qin Shuo was the last to get the tea from the tray of Huo Wu, his ears were slightly hot, his eyes were staring at Huo Wu, he took it with a smile, and said in a very gentle tone:

"Thank you, girl."

It's a bit of a crack.

Fire Dance almost got goosebumps.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome." Huo Wu pouted with a polite smile and said softly.

Qin Shuo smiled innocently.

This kid behaved too obviously, the girls had already gone out, his eyes were still glued to the door curtain, and the people of Long Xiguo, including Shen Run, felt that he was very embarrassed.

Xue Ling couldn't stand it anymore, and coughed, Qin Shuo came back to his senses, a little embarrassed, and the roots of his ears were red.

Attention was refocused on the war.

Mu Han opened his mouth and said in a solemn voice: "It is not possible to storm the walls of the inner city, they can only force them to open the city gate by themselves, or let them die in the city." I don't know where the source of the water source in the inner city is. ”

Si Chen understood what she meant, Mu Han wanted to start with the water source in the inner city, cut off the water source, or simply poison the water source.

"There is no flowing river near Flame City, which means that they use the water of the underground river, the distribution of the underground river in the desert is very complicated, and I have just told Si Qi to take a look, the only water source in the outer city flows out of the inner city, so we should be careful when using water these days, our side will not cut the water source of the inner city, but the inner city side may use the water source to poison us."

Mu Han didn't expect that the question she was thinking about had been investigated by Si Chen first and came to a conclusion, she looked at her, with surprise and embarrassment in her eyes, she felt embarrassed for herself who spoke hastily, her thoughts were as naïve as a child in front of His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord, her face began to get hot, fortunately, her skin was darker, and it was in the shadow of the light, so she couldn't see it.

Shen Run didn't expect Si Chen to send someone to investigate so quickly, and he glanced at her.
