Yang Hong got the answer he wanted and left satisfied, but Li Feng fell into deep thought, and then he was absent-minded when he met the generals under his command in the mansion. Many shrewd generals were also worried when they saw it.

At the third watch, the drums outside the city were loud again, and thousands of enemy torches appeared at the three gates at the same time, followed by earth-shaking screams.

Just when all the defenders thought that the enemy was bluffing, they were surprised to find that many infantry were approaching with ladders.

So the captain and Sima on the city wall organized men to defend the city while sending people to report to the governor Li Feng. When Li Feng came to the city wall with a gloomy face, the first thing he saw was not the soldiers on both sides who fought bloodily, but the lord Bo Wang Dan.

Thinking of Yang Hong's prompt and thinking of tomorrow night's action, Li Feng felt that the attack launched by the enemy now was also a little inexplicable. He said hello to Wang Dan and turned his gaze to the outside of the city.

Outside the east gate, more than 2,000 infantry were arrayed at the moat, completely ignoring the defenders on the city walls.

Of course, this is not accurate, because two thousand ???????????????? Behind the heavy infantry were more than two thousand archers with divine arms, constantly suppressing the archers on the city walls. But Li Feng looked at it for a long time and didn't see the enemy put a ladder or a pontoon bridge on the moat, didn't the enemy plan to cross the river?

On the contrary, there were constantly heralds from the north and south gates to report the news, and it was not until Li Feng was reminded by Wang Dan that he suddenly realized that the enemy in the east was all heavily armoured, and the infantry was heavily armoured. This is an army suitable for a field exhibition, and it is not obvious to fight against the wall with such an army.

Then the main direction of the enemy's assist is the north and south gates! Li Feng glanced at Wang Dan with a complicated expression, handed over the command of the east gate to a school captain, and then hurriedly left the city wall and headed towards the south gate.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Feng approached the south gate, he heard the sound of soldiers fighting on both sides. Li Feng couldn't help frowning, the enemy here was too fast in melee combat. When he climbed the city wall, a Sima immediately trotted over and escorted him to the city gate tower, but did not lead him to the city tower, Li Feng looked puzzled, and Sima explained: "Although there are more than a dozen small catapults outside the enemy's city, although they can't hit the city tower, there is a huge catapult that smashed a corner of the city gate tower in the previous attack. Stone projectiles are still being fired in the direction of the gatehouse. ”

Li Feng was a little uncalm when he heard this, Wei Xuan's monkey clan that broke the Yuyuan Pass in one day and broke Lu Bu's town in half a day is said to rely on a powerful catapult, Yuan Shu has sent Xizuo many times to sneak into Wei Xuanjun's workshop to steal the drawings of this catapult without success, but he didn't expect it to appear again in Wancheng.

Li Feng asked anxiously: "Are you sure that the enemy only has one such catapult?" ”

Sima hesitated: "There should be only one, the catapult station seems to be comparable to the city wall from the city wall, such a big guy cannot be transported by long distances, maybe it was made on the spot during this time." ”

Li Feng categorically denied: "Impossible, it must be made of dry wood to make such a giant catapult." ”

Na Sima nodded again and again after hearing this, and then remembered something and said uncertainly: "Could it be that after Bowangpo was burned, some trees were dried up?" "Now even Li Feng asked, if you ask him about the sage book, he can head the way, even if it is a test of the art of war, he can barely deal with it, this matter of workers and peasants completely depends on hearsay.

Li Feng left the city gate tower and came to the edge of the city wall on the east side, poked out half of his head but found that the two sides were really entering the battle here, because tens of thousands of infantry were constantly crossing the moat towards the city wall, and the side of the moat was still an ordinary archer pressing the formation, and the kind of longbow more than one person high followed closely behind the archer phalanx and was constantly throwing arrows in his hand towards the city wall.

Behind the phalanx of archers was the kind of small catapult that was constantly firing stone projectiles at the walls, which made the height advantage of the original defenders not obvious, and the archers on both sides held each other down. The moat had hundreds of toppled ladders, some of which were even laid with wooden planks to facilitate the rapid passage of infantry through the moat.

Although the arrows continued to be shot, most of them passed the moat unharmed, made their way under the walls, and then quickly climbed the ladder.

At this time, a lieutenant came to Li Feng's side and said with a serious expression: "Governor, judging from the number of people,???????????????? There were at least 13,400 enemy men involved in the attack on the east gate, and it seems that there were still quite a few people in the far enemy camp who were preparing to leave the camp, probably in reserve. And our army is stationed at the south gate with no more than 5,000 men, and in order to rotate the less than 2,000 men who are now guarding the city wall. ”

Li Feng nodded, there is nothing wrong with the captain's arrangement, there are many people, all of them stand on the city wall, not only can they not be used, but they are also easy to become the target of the opponent's archers and real cars. A more important reason is that the enemy's attack of 13,000 or 4,000 men must also be rotated, and if there is no rotation and reserves, it is easy for the place to be directly overwhelmed by the enemy's wave of onslaught.

However, Li Feng still frowned when he saw the situation on the battlefield, and in less than half an hour after the battle began, the enemy was already the third wave to attack the city, and according to the captain and Sima stationed at the south gate, most of the soldiers who rushed up were the soldiers of Nanyang before, that is, the prisoners captured from Bowang and the camp outside the city. What puzzled Li Feng was that these captives had only been reborn in just a few days, and they attacked Wancheng so bravely.

As long as you are not a fool, you know that the enemy's main general, Xu Rong, chose to let them fight in the city at the beginning, most of which was to consume cannon fodder.

If you don't understand it, Li Feng immediately ordered his own soldiers to go out, and chose a cloud ladder to wait for the rabbit, and be sure to catch a few alive. Soon Li Feng saw two defenders covered in blood who were ambushed by the former Bowangpo.

Li Feng asked with a gloomy face: "You two should be from Nanyang County, why do you want to help the enemy attack Wancheng?" ”

The two looked at Li Feng and the surrounding soldiers with disdain, and one of them, a strong man in his thirties, sneered: "Help the enemy? You are the enemies of the people of Nanyang County, has the land demon Yuan Changshui exploited the people of Nanyang County less over the years? For his own selfish desires, he raised seventy or eighty thousand soldiers in one county. Not all of this grain and grass are provided by the people of Nanyang. In order to get some treasures from General Zuo, he actually exchanged one million stone of grain that the people of Nanyang had worked hard to save. ”

Li Feng said puzzledly: "These are all the words that the enemy has brainwashed you, this can't be believed." ”

At this time, another younger Nanyang soldier also sneered: "We don't know anything else, we have seen it with our own eyes these days, and we have meat to eat three times a day for General Zuo as a soldier." Also as soldiers, what do we eat in Wancheng? Also, look at the generals under the command of General Zuo, all of whom are victorious generals, but our General Yuan and Captain Yuan are so stupid that they don't guard against enemy fire attacks. The dignified general of 5,000 people guarded Bowang, and was deceived by 500 people to open the city gate and failed to drive the enemy out, and you will only be dead sooner or later. ”

Li Feng was a little unhappy and scolded in a deep voice: "Xu Rong is not dead end when he uses you as cannon fodder, you can stand and talk now, it's just that the governor of Pontus wants to ask you Hu." ”

The strong man from before smiled and said: "Do you think that General Xu is using us as cannon fodder, don't you know that the people who can take the lead in the city today are all applied by ourselves, and people have already prepared death squads." Because he was a soldier under General Zuo, as long as he did not die on the spot, he could be saved, the injured were given subsidies according to their severity, and the dead were given bereavements to their families and relatives. These are not what those generals said, but the ordinary soldiers in the battalion, who said that this time when General Zuo took it, it is estimated that he will take out hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land to reward and compensate the soldiers. We have calculated, even if we die, at least the family will get 20,000 yuan and 30 acres of fertile land???????????????? If he survives, he will be promoted to the rank of tun chief, and then he will have fifty acres. Hey hey ......"

Li Feng: "......"

Soldiers: "......"

Li Feng regretted catching it a little, the locals of Nanyang attacked Wancheng, which greatly hurt the morale of the defenders, and now these two people are crackling and saying that this is equivalent to making propaganda for Wei Xuanjun, publicizing how Wei Xuan is close to the people and how to love the soldiers in the army.

Since they were caught alive, they couldn't be cut directly, after all, none of the people who surrendered to the Weixuan Army were killed, so killing them on the spot may hurt morale even more.

Unexpectedly, these two people seemed to have guessed Li Feng's thoughts, and even shouted at the defenders on the city wall: "Brothers, the old thief of Yuan Shu ran away by himself, leaving you to guard the city for him, how does he treat our soldiers and the people of Nanyang on weekdays?" What kind of person is Lu Bu, the one who killed the master and the father, was actually praised by Yuan Shu as a guest, and he was really a raccoon dog. Why didn't Yuan Shu go to Runan at the beginning, but to divide our territory in Nanyang, not because he was afraid that Runan would like his family to mistake his backbone. Yuan Shu plotted against Jingzhou for three or four years, and General Zuo conquered the east and west, first defeated Dong Zhuo, and then destroyed Yu Fuluo, and then defeated Yuan Shao, and went north to expel the Southern Xiongnu from the entire territory of Bingzhou. Everywhere you go, you can't get back to it. Most of the 37 cities of Nanyang have fallen into the hands of General Zuo, how can Wancheng, a lonely city, compete with General Zuo......"

Li Feng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately asked people to push down the city wall and pull him into the city.

On the road, the two were still chattering: "I am also a soldier, I have three meals a day under General Zuo, and there is meat, and I can divide the fields after the war." Why do you waste your lives in vain for the sake of those who are bound to be defeated......"

Li Feng's lieutenants, Sima and the soldiers around him looked at each other, and they didn't expect Li Feng to find out why Nanyang soldiers worked for Wei Xuan a few days after they became prisoners, but it turned out to be like this.

If it was only one or two people, it could be said that it was a fine work sent by the enemy, but now the person was ordered by Li Feng to be arrested, and he personally asked it, if these people are fine work, then Li Feng is the internal response.

Of course, Li Feng is not an internal response, but more and more once familiar faces are on the city wall to fight with the defenders of Nanyang, which somewhat makes Li Feng and other generals stand on end!
