After Xia Qi's raid at dawn, two days passed quietly, and these two days were undoubtedly easy for Xia Qi and them, because the only thing they needed to do was to adjust their state, but for Liu Chen, the general who defended the city of the original River City, this day was not so easy.

There is a way that once he was bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, after being tossed for a while, these two days, he lived a frightened heart, and at night, he did not dare to relax at all, at night, the garrison on the city wall increased to one hundred people in one breath, directly standing in a row, Liu Chen himself could not sleep steadily, and the soldiers under him also did not sleep steadily.

This tense state was maintained until the evening of the next day, looking at the reinforcements slowly entering the city, Liu Chen's whole person was obviously relieved, after all, the number of troops is the confidence.

When Wang Ting learned that his big rear was almost knocked down, a layer of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, if Xia Qi succeeded, then his chrysanthemum must not be stabbed by the other party?

So he hurriedly transferred his former reinforcements over, and the general who was responsible for leading the troops was a general who had a good relationship with Liu Chen, so Liu Chen didn't have too many scruples when he spoke.

"Grass, why are you here now?!"

"Isn't that all right? You don't know how difficult the road behind the original river city is. Guo Wei, who was stationed in Yuanhe City with a thousand reinforcements, had a trace of fatigue on his face, and the march for days was not an easy thing.

"It almost happened!"

Thinking of the wave of attacks at dawn two days ago, Liu Chen still has palpitations on his face, the battle to defend the city, his own heart is also hanging, he has no confidence in his heart, and in the end, he fought hard.

And when he mentioned this, Guo Wei's expression was also a little serious, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

As he spoke, Liu Chen explained the ins and outs of the whole matter in detail, and after listening, Guo Wei's brows furrowed directly.

"I didn't expect that these outsiders would ignore the army outside the new city and directly transfer troops to attack the original river city."

Thinking of this, Guo Wei turned his mind and asked Liu Chen: "Didn't the outsiders attack the city again in the past two days?" ”

"Nope."

When he said this, Liu Chen's mood was full of complexity, the other party did not come to attack the city, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief, but on the contrary, he also had a feeling of being played by the other side as a fool, after all, he had been worried for two days!

"Have you sent scouts out of the city to reconnoiter the situation?" Guo Wei asked again.

"Yes, no trace of the other party has been found near the original river city, should this matter be reported to the king?"

"Take the road behind the original river city, even if it is a person and a ride, fast horses, a one-way trip will take three days, a trip back and forth for six to seven days, and according to the plan arranged by the king in advance, three days later, at noon, the new city will officially start to attack the city, I will set off immediately after a day of rest in the original river city, so as to form a front and rear encirclement formation with the army of the new city, and capture the new city in one go, and the time is not at all."

Speaking of this, Guo Wei's voice paused slightly, and after relieving himself, he continued to speak, "Moreover, according to what you said, there is basically no trace of the enemy near Yuanhe City, and it is very likely that the opposite side will come to raid a wave, and after the raid fails, he immediately turned back to the new city." ”

"So what do you say?" Liu Chenqiang asked with spirit.

In the past two days, he has been overly nervous, and now that he is relaxed, his whole body begins to feel sleepy.

"While our troops are resting, you send a reconnaissance team of one hundred more people to conduct a carpet search near the original River City! If this fails to find the whereabouts of the other party, it means that the other party has really retreated, and in this case, I only need to continue to act according to the original plan. ”

Guo Wei said this quite simply, but Liu Chen, who heard this, was secretly speechless in his heart, a hundred people, is it still called a reconnaissance team? That's already the vanguard, okay?

But now, Liu Chen doesn't matter, he didn't have many troops in the city before, and he was worried that too many people would be intercepted and killed by the other party, causing a loss of troops, which was not conducive to his future defense of the city, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, obviously there is no need to worry about this problem, a hundred people is a hundred people, he just wants to arrange things quickly, and then go back to his mansion and sleep well!

The next morning, the strength of a hundred people quickly dispersed, although these were just ordinary soldiers of the garrison force, not professionally trained scouts, but there were a hundred people, enough for them to complete a wave of carpet searches around the original river city......

"Damn, how did this happen to us?" One of the former River City soldiers wearing axe and shield equipment walked on the road with a worried face, and as he walked, he couldn't help but mutter, which made the other soldier walking next to him look irritated.

"Who told us not to keep vigil last night? Now that the vigil have gone to sleep, won't this happen to us? Don't be verbose, look for it quickly, and go back quickly after looking for it. As he spoke, the soldier had already seen the circle.

"Okay, not here, change to another place."

"Wait, haven't you seen it over there?"

"Over there?" Hearing this, the soldier frowned, and glanced impatiently in the direction the other soldier was pointing.

"What's over there? How many trees, a bush, how many stones? Is the army of the outsiders hiding in those bushes, or in those trees? ”

After saying that, the soldier shook his head speechlessly, and then turned around and walked away, while the other soldier obviously didn't want to wander around in the field alone, so he hurriedly followed in two steps.

In order to bring the results of the reconnaissance back to the original river city in time, the soldiers sent out to reconnoiter the situation began to turn back at sunset, and when the sun completely set, the whole field was silent again, until a strange bird chirping sounded.

"Goo! Goo Goo ......"

The cry with a certain rhythm seemed to send out some kind of signal, and then, under the moonlight, the branches and leaves on a certain big tree suddenly shook strangely, and a figure wearing a leaf camouflage suit jumped lightly from the tree, and the same figure also drilled out of a bush one or two hundred meters to the left of the big tree......

With the guidance of the moonlight, one by one the figures rushed in one direction at the same time, and after gathering together, they found that there were more than a dozen people hidden in this area!

The results of the reconnaissance team's search after a day made Guo Wei feel a little relieved, and then after resting in Yuanhe City for one night, he went out of the city with a thousand troops, planning to save the physical strength of the soldiers, and rush to seventy percent of the road on the first day, and the next day, that is, on the day of the move, rush to the outside of Songhe City in one go, and directly attack the city after a short rest!

Guo Wei, who had made a plan, did not relax his carelessness, kept the soldiers vigilant along the way, and sent scouts along the road to reconnoiter the surroundings.

But it turned out that he seemed to be a little too nervous, because there were no accidents along the way, and he could be said to have completed the first day of the march unharmed with a thousand men and horses.

"It seems that the other party has really turned back to the new city."

Thinking of this, Guo Wei couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and after confirming that those outsiders had evacuated, he was also ready to return to the new city, just to give the other party a front and back attack.

Camped for the night, the calm night eased his tense nerves, and early in the morning, after the soldiers had eaten a little dry food, the army began to advance again, and his march was quite efficient.

"General, there's a new city ahead."

And this is indeed the case, listening to the report of a soldier under his command, although it was before the war, Guo Wei was still relieved, at least so far, there has been no mistake in the whole plan.

Looking up to confirm the position of the sun in the sky, there was still some time before noon, Guo Wei waved his hand, signaling the soldiers under his command to sit down, eat something, and rest for a while.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dense sound of breaking the air suddenly entered Guo Wei's ears, and before he could think about it, he saw a rain of arrows in the sky in the distance directly attacking their scattered military formation!

"There is an ambush?!" In the face of this sudden attack, Guo Wei's troops were caught off guard on the spot, and a salvo caused them obvious casualties, and the already scattered military formation became even more chaotic in an instant.

As a general with troops, Guo Wei was even more angry at this moment, he never thought that the other party was not ambushed near the original river city, but near the new city!!

"Calm down, everyone! All the axes and shields form a defensive formation to resist the rain of arrows, and the halberders pay attention to the infantry units that are rushing around! Guo Wei waved the bronze long sword in his hand to sweep away all the arrows that were shooting towards him, and gave instructions loudly.

At the same time, his gaze quickly swept over the archers standing on the high ground in the distance.

"Damn! Is it the terrain, is this archer army hiding under the high ground by taking advantage of the effect of the difference in terrain on the line of sight?! ”

Although he figured out how the archer army came out, Guo Wei still couldn't let go of it in his heart.

"Who is the commander on the other side? How did you choose to fight an ambush in this position? ”

In a moment's time, Guo Wei thought a lot in his mind, but the other party obviously didn't intend to let him continue to think about it, and at the same time as the archer troops were exposed and attacked, the axe and shield troops ambushed on the other side also quickly killed!

Xiong Xiong, who was dressed in bronze armor, took the lead in rushing to the front of the troops, his eyes swept over Guo Wei who was sitting on horseback, Xiong's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment, he was eager to kill the enemy general who vented his anger is not this, but in any case, as long as it is the enemy, then kill them all.

There were more troops waiting to ambush him here than Guo Wei expected, and the moment the axe and shield soldiers of the two sides collided together, they almost scattered the military formation that he had managed to stabilize again, and Guo Wei was so surprised that he hurriedly began to command the axe and shield troops in front to meet the enemy.

Guo Wei secretly complained in his heart, here he faced the entanglement of the enemy, and it was not so easy to get rid of it, and the other party probably would not let him go so easily.

So far, Guo Wei can only command his soldiers to resist with all his might, hoping that the siege army of the king on the other side can break through the new city as soon as possible, and then rush here to support him.

However, Guo Wei was destined to be disappointed.

At this moment, as noon approached, outside the city wall on the west side of the West City, the siege army led by Wang Ting gathered again.

During this period of time, this army would come almost every day, and they lowered their eyelids to brush a wave of presence, but the white wolf, who had been temporarily appointed by Xia Qi as the general of the new city guard, did not have any trace of relaxation.
