The night is breezy and clouds cover the stars and moon.

Hefei, a lonely city, stands quietly in the dark, and the sound of insects is gradually extinguished in autumn.

In the silent wilderness, there was only the sound of gurgling water, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and it was the Jiangdong soldiers and horses moving.

"Hefei City is not equipped with fire, so we really won't attack the city at night? Could Lu Su be exaggerating?"

Sun Ce saw that there was no light in front of him, and couldn't help but complain to Zhou Yu beside him.

In the dark, Zhou Yu analyzed: "Zijing is undoubtedly talented, don't look at the city at this time, but there should be sentries in the dark to monitor, as long as the fire outside the city is shaking, the defenders in the city will definitely move, and the city can see at a glance, you may know that we don't have large equipment, and it is normal for some to relax our vigilance."

"So Gong Jin will plan and let the soldiers walk without fire, although it is good to cover with night, but the movement speed is really slow, and it is easy to lose your footing when you encounter potholes..."

"There's no way, the defenders of the city are waiting for work, if we don't act like this, it won't have the effect it should have."

"When we wait for a while, we will attack in all directions, I don't know if there is a chance to break the city directly..."

"There is a possibility, but it is not large, Long Xiang is so arrogant, and with Lu Su's assistance, it is estimated that he is prepared.

The key depends on whether there is chaos in the city, not to mention whether Deng Dang can succeed, just the 10,000 displaced people who fled from the Lujiang River are enough for them to drink a pot..."

"Well, I hope to break the city soon, we don't have much food and grass..."

"Don't worry, Bo Fu, within three to five days, you will see results."

"Well, the reason why Lujiang was difficult to fight back then was not only due to the lack of soldiers and horses given to me by Yuan Shu, but also related to the fact that there were many soldiers and enough food in Lujiang City, and now it is different from the past..."

......

Outside the city, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu traveled in the dark, and the palace of the military Sima Mansion in the city was brightly lit, and the senior generals and think tanks of Hefei gathered together.

In the southeast corner of the room, there were several stacks of bedding neatly stacked, which Long Xiang had prepared for everyone.

Before the enemy retreated outside the city, they slept on the ground here at night, so as to facilitate the discussion of countermeasures and command and dispatch.

After dinner, Long Xiang asked the governors of the five battalions to report to their work one by one.

At that moment, he felt as if he had returned to the previous world and learned about the progress of the project with the heads of various departments.

The left and right city defense battalions were at the forefront, and Tang Yu and Xu Ding reported the most, down to how to dispatch and change the defense at night, where the soldiers in the battalion rested, how to deal with dangerous situations, and so on.

After listening to it, Long Xiang specially reminded Feng Zhong: "In addition to the city defense battalion, the Shushu Zhong craftsman battalion is the busiest at night, if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu raid at night, the logistics materials will have to be replenished by you, and there are many homeless people in Lujiang recently, I am very worried that they will run around at night."

"Yunqi rest assured, I have deployed people in each resettlement site, and the cavalry battalion will also step up patrols at night to ensure that the newcomers will not cause trouble."

Feng Zhong patted his chest and assured.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Long Xiang smiled and comforted: "Don't be so nervous, everyone, rest when you settle down, as long as Sun Ce doesn't do anything, we should eat, sleep, and sleep."

The mood of the generals before the war was the same as that of the students before the exam, and it was obviously impossible not to be excited, but it would be stable when they really fought.

Long Xiang's words had little effect, and he was silent for a while, and the straightforward Tang Yu opened his mouth to ask Lu Su: "Mr. Zijing, I heard that Zhou Yu is resourceful, will he come to seize the city at night?"

Lu Su shook his head: "Zhou Lang is familiar with Tao Strategy and knows the way of truth and fiction, and I can't say it well..."

"Then what are you sleeping? I'm going to the city..."

Tang Yu got up as he spoke, Xu Ding, Hao Meng and others all got up, but they were stopped by Long Xiang in time.

"Stop, isn't there a guard in the city? Everyone sleep peacefully, and it's not too late to wait for Sun Ce to attack the city, now it's pitch black outside, and you can see a little fire."

"In case Sun Ce climbs the city in the dark..."

Tang Yu muttered quietly and sat back down.

Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Long Xiang took the lead and lay down on the soft seat next to the table.

He rested his head on his hands and looked at the roof, and muttered, "I can't see at night,

Sun Ce climbed the city in the dark and followed them, it was impossible for him to make no sound at all, right? Just let the brothers throw stones, they dare to light a fire to expose their sight, and the bow and arrow can be hailed..."

"Haha, I said why don't you let the city be set on fire, I didn't want to expose the defenders' targets, where did Yunqi learn the method of defending the city?" Lu Su also slept on the ground.

"Who taught this? It's just a cranky thought, if it's not right, Zijing, you have to remind me..."

Long Xiang learned civil engineering in his previous life, and there was no elective course in the art of war in the school, and the vision control was learned in the summoner's canyon, and he often played Captain Teemo, who would blind him.

"Okay, climbing the wall in the dark may break the weakly defended city, but Yunqi has been deployed just now, even Zhou Lang can't take advantage, defending the city is condescending, there are natural advantages, you have done a good job..."

"That's okay, everyone close their eyes and rest, and recuperate enough to fight."

"Okay."

"Old Tang, you keep your voice quiet, I'm asleep..."

......

At this time, the main hall of the council is like a student dormitory with a bunk, and after experiencing chatter before going to bed, it finally slowly quiets down.

The remaining one or two who didn't fall asleep closed their eyes and learned the method of counting sheep that Long Xiang had just taught.

The sound of breathing mixed with snoring unfolds in the dimly lit room.

Until the time passed, there were urgent reports of military information outside the hall, and the four gates of Hefei appeared at the same time.

Xu Ding, Tang Yu, and Hao Meng, the three generals of the city defense battalion, got up as soon as possible to tidy up their clothes and armor, and went to the front line after asking Long Xiang for instructions.

Xu Chu followed with a fist and asked: "General, Sun Ce besieged the city on all sides, they went to the three gates of the southeast and north, and I led the Tiger Guard Battalion to rush to the west gate?"

Long Xiang waved his hand lightly: "Bo'an (Xu Ding) has deployed defenders at the West Gate, and the Tiger Guard Battalion is temporarily holding its ground, you can follow me to the upper floor of the West City to have a look, so that the brothers who should rest can continue to rest."

"Yui."

Long Xiang shook his clothes, and instructed Feng Zhong and Cao Xing: "You all perform your duties, just take care of the affairs in the city, and continue to sleep if there is no situation."

Feng Zhong and Cao Xing looked at each other and smiled, and said in their hearts that everyone has work now, how can the two of them sleep?

After a while, Long Xiang and others climbed the West City Tower, and at this time, a few torches were also lit in the city.

Looking down, I saw the fire shaking under the city.

In terms of numbers, there were about a few hundred people below, all standing outside the moat and shouting.

Just a few kittens? I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I ran down to the city to help?

"What's the situation?"

Xu Chu found a defender and brought him to Long Xiang for questioning.

Huotou replied, "The thieves used to crawl the city in the dark, but we hit a lot with stones, and now they retreat outside to make noise, and I don't know what the intention is."

Long Xiang bowed slightly: "Don't pay attention to the noise of the enemy army, you put out the torches and continue to be vigilant, they will leave when they are tired."

"Yui." The fire head clenched his fists and left.

"It's obviously a feint on the West Gate, let's go to the other three gates."

Long Xiang couldn't help but turn around and go downstairs, and spent half an hour looking around, but the situation at each city gate was similar, obviously Zhou Yu was playing tricks.

"Zijing, you give me an analysis and analysis, Jiangdong soldiers don't sleep in the middle of the night, why do they call under the city?"
