Chapter 19: The Night Battle

Captain Xiong stood on the walls of Tucheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is not his first military exercise to defend the city, as the best general to defend the city. The general was quite partial to put him in the position of defending the city, which was a sign of trust in him. And Captain Xiong himself is also good at this, and he is not dissatisfied with such an arrangement.

Compared to other captains who like to charge into battle at every turn, Captain Xiong prefers to ensure the safety of the rear in the city.

He has a meticulous personality and is very cautious. Years of combat experience make him pay great attention to details, and always have to meticulously arrange all defensive matters.

Of course, Captain Xiong understands that no matter how capable the kid called Egret on the other side is, it is absolutely impossible to take this Tucheng from his hands using conventional combat methods. Then the other party's method is nothing more than to target the troops transporting grain and grass, and make a fuss through this only force that may enter the earth city during the siege.

In order to increase the difficulty, the grain transport team arranged by the old general came at night. This is undoubtedly to give the siege troops on the opposite side a slim chance. But if it is against the newcomers defending the city, this method may be effective. But in the face of the battle-hardened Captain Xiong, no matter what means the other party uses, he can't pass this level.

However, Captain Xiong did not want to simply deploy for this matter. He didn't want his subordinates to starve and defend the city during these three days.

He not only hopes to get grain and grass, but also hopes that the other party will take the initiative to send grain and grass in.

It's not impossible. If you want to use the grain convoy to enter the city, you must hijack the grain and grass and transport it to the door. If you disguise yourself as a grain transport team, you must at least have grain and grass to get through.

And the other party can't just take a fully armed army and directly pretend to be a grain transport team to request entry, in the previous cavalry formation competition, although the egret is not very old, he doesn't want to be a brainless idiot.

So these details, Captain Xiong believes that the other party can consider them.

It is because of this trust that Captain Xiong is very relieved that the other party will act according to his own ideas.

For the whole day of the day, he only arranged a team of less than 200 people to routinely defend on the city wall, and let Captain Xiong rush back to the camp to rest. He expected the battle to take place at night, and at that time, he would stage a show of catching turtles in an urn at the inner city site in the area of the city wall gate that entered the earth city.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The siege situation was indeed as Captain Xiong had predicted.

The egret led the army to come, only to set up camp in the open space that was unwilling to be from Tucheng. It seems that there is no intention of attacking. A frontal hard attack is obviously not a choice that a general with a brain will make. Captain Xiong rested peacefully in the barracks, as if the two of them had a tacit understanding in common, and there was no battle during the whole day.

It's night. Captain Xiong rested for a whole day, and appeared on the city wall in good spirits. 500 soldiers arranged many braziers in the earthen city. And the earth city that shines is like daylight.

"Is there any news from the arrow tower?" Captain Xiong would ask the guards around him every once in a while, even at night, if there was movement in the big tent opposite, these soldiers who relied on the moonlight to observe from a high place could also find the corresponding dynamics.

"Lord Qiyu, there is no signal on the arrow tower. "The guards just asked the herald, and this should be correct.

"Let the soldiers on the arrow tower be a little more energetic, tonight is likely to be the first siege on the opposite side, let the brothers cheer up, and give our guests a good dismount!" Captain Xiong said in a muffled voice, he was very optimistic about the egret, even if the other party showed some cleverness in the previous cavalry battle, but the cautious Captain Xiong was not afraid of small tricks.

Whether it is the soldiers on the arrow tower who have to signal safety every other moment, or the soldiers who constantly wander around the city wall and check whether there is movement in the nearby woodland, they are all defensive measures arranged by Captain Xiong.

In every detail, Captain Xiong has done it to the extreme, and he has not broken the record of defending the city for ten consecutive years, but he doesn't want to be taken the lead in the military exercise.

At midnight, suddenly the shouts of battle could be heard in the distance. This shocked the soldiers on the city wall, and they quickly reported the situation to Captain Xiong. Captain Xiong smiled flatly, "It seems that the other party has already executed according to the plan." As expected. ā€

As he spoke, Captain Xiong took his sword and walked up to the city wall with his guards. In his expectation, it would not be long before the other party would bring soldiers and horses, disguised as an ambushed grain delivery team, and ask him to open the city gate for help.

In this place, Captain Xiong had already let more than 300 soldiers stand in line inside the city gate, all holding bows and crossbows in a row, just waiting for people to be annihilated in one fell swoop. By the way, the grain and grass brought by the other party were brought to the earth city safely.

Captain Xiong was already familiar with such a routine, and stood quietly on the city wall and waited. However, a quarter of an hour passed, and there was no movement from the other party. He frowned slightly, but did not speak.

After half an hour, there was still no movement under the city wall outside the earthen city. It seemed silent, as if no one would come at all.

Captain Xiong waited for a long time, his face was a little ugly, and then he felt that he might be thinking wrong.

This idea was soon confirmed.

It didn't take long for a group of cavalry to come out of the forest on the side, this was the girls of the Feng Dance Army, they had no intention of changing their disguises, they ran straight to the city wall not far away, and laughed loudly at Captain Xiong.

"Our military advisor shouted to you not to wait! Captain Xiong, go back to sleep obediently! You won't have anything to eat for the next two days! Hahaha. ā€

In the silence of the night, such shouts are particularly prominent.

Captain Xiong's face sank, although he was not angry by the few words of the cavalry outside the city, he was also annoyed by his mistake in prediction.

originally thought that the other party would take this opportunity to come to deceive the city gate once, but I didn't expect the other party to play cards according to the routine at all. As a result, Captain Xiong, who was supposed to pick up the grain delivery team, did not get any food tonight due to his self-confidence.

It is also thanks to the fact that his soldiers have the habit of carrying dry food, so that they will not be so hungry that they have no strength to fight because they have no food for a day.

However, Captain Xiong's men were not so good-tempered, and the soldiers on the city wall were blushing and unhappy. If it weren't for Captain Xiong standing on the city wall, they would have been impatient and would have shot arrows to drive away the shouting women's army below.

I was tricked.

Captain Xiong was a little unhappy, but then he also remembered one thing. The delivery of grain and grass can only be this one. The other party did not take advantage of this opportunity, and I am afraid that he will decide to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Since it is about to attack, the other side will not carry out it now when its own troops are full of strength. It should wait until the soldiers on their side are hungry for two days and are not in good shape.

Then in these two days, at least the egret will not come to attack the city with soldiers and horses, after all, this is not a good deal for the egret.

Thinking of this, even if it was unpleasant, Captain Xiong had no choice but to arrange for his soldiers to take turns to send a team to the nearby mountains and forests to look for some wild fruits or prey, even if it was a drop in the bucket, it could also ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers defending the city to a certain extent.

It's not unprecedented, but there's no need to worry too much.

After arranging things, Captain Xiong also went back to the camp to rest. Reducing consumption can alleviate hunger, and in the past two days, he is not prepared to stare at the siege troops on the opposite side and do some meaningless consumption.

The clock went on.

Captain Xiong had already fallen asleep in the camp tent, and after some time, in a half-asleep and half-awake state, he suddenly heard shouting and killing outside the barracks. This movement was so real that he turned over from the bed with a quick wit, and he didn't even have time to put on his armor, and rushed out of the barracks just by picking up his sword.

As soon as he went out, Captain Xiong's eyes widened.

It was not yet dawn, but it was the darkest time before dawn. The soldiers who had been guarding for a day were exhausted. Even half an hour later, that is, the time for a shift change, I didn't expect that at this hour, the troops outside the city actually began to attack the city.

The guards were at the door of the barracks at this time, and when they saw Captain Xiong rushing out, they walked over, but before he could get closer, a dark arrow shot from unknown ground suddenly made a white mark on his body.

On the battlefield of the military exercise, this can be regarded as a death.

But the important thing is not whether the guards died in battle or not, but where did this inexplicable dark arrow come from!

Captain Xiong almost instantly activated his own qi and blocked another dark arrow shooting at him. His complexion changed drastically, and he shouted in the direction of the dark arrow: "Who!"

It was not the gentle whispers that answered him, but the merciless dozens of crossbow arrows that chased him. Captain Xiong's body turned violently, and he was possessed by his anger, and he dodged left and right several times before he dodged unharmed.

However, this sudden attack made Captain Xiong's qi consume more than 20%, and the meaning of this made him break out in a cold sweat.

However, no matter what he thought, it was of no use.

A little cold came first, and then the gun came out like a dragon.

Captain Xiong didn't even have time to think about it, so he reached out and raised his knife to block the gun. He fixed his eyes, but a few words popped out of his mouth with an extremely ugly face: "Qin girl, how did you get in!"

Qin Yu smiled quietly, did not reply, but stepped up the offensive. The spear was used by her like a swimming green dragon, and it continued to stab forward around Captain Xiong's body, and Captain Xiong blocked it very hard.

His heart was confused, and he didn't understand the current situation at all, and he didn't know whether the other party had already captured the city wall or opened the gate. However, all this has no meaning under Qin Yu's gun.

Captain Xiong's guards didn't arrive, and their fierce fighting didn't even attract a single soldier.

The more he fought, the more Captain Xiong's heart sank.

"What the hell is going on?!!"
