Lu Su frowned and replied: "Yunqi doesn't need to pay attention to it, we have seen that the move is good, maybe it is a simple feint, and the vision is not clear at night, so it is not suitable for attacking the city."

"Well, that makes sense."

Long Xiang nodded in affirmation, and turned to explain to Tang Yu: "Go back to rest when you settle down, let's not stay up late with Jiangdong people."

After hearing this, Tang Yu hurriedly reminded, "I'd better stay, right? What if they turn out to be true?"

Long Xiang pointed to the fire under the city and explained with a sneer: "There are only a few hundred people below, so why are you afraid of really attacking the city? Temporary scheduling is in time, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? The tough game is definitely during the day, arrange the rotating team, and then go back to rest."

"Okay." Tang Yu nodded in response.

Lu Su was secretly surprised, and said in his heart that Long Xiang often has a witty outlet, although he doesn't understand the art of war, but he does things just right, just by looking at his own scheduling, he can learn to walk seven or eight points, which is really an amazing learning ability.

On the way back to the military Sima Mansion, Lu Su asked curiously, "There are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, Yunqi is really not panicked at all? Sun Ce is much stronger than Zheng Baoke."

"It's useless to panic, I have no way out, I can only fight to the end, and there is enough food in the city, no matter what tricks Zhou Yu plays, we can afford it with him."

"That's a good point, as long as the soldiers and food are sufficient, there is no civil strife in the city, and the defending side has a great advantage, and according to Ziyang, Liu Xun took 30,000 troops to Yuzhang, and it is impossible for Jiangdong to divide too many troops to intercept it, so Sun Ce does not dare to spend it in Hefei for a long time."

"So if you're worried, it's better to sleep with your head covered."

"Hehe, I just like Yunqi's mentality."

In the second half of the night, Hefei is as lonely as a cemetery.

According to Zhou Yu's plan, the Jiangdong army shouted under the city in batches and times, and the southeast and southeast gates also tried to attack twice, trying to disturb the rest of the defenders and make the people in the city panic and sleepless.

It's a pity that the defenders of Hefei did not cooperate, and the Jiangdong army actively defended the siege of the city, and ignored the clamor and shouts under the city; This is especially true in the residential areas of the city, where the artisan battalion is manned and the cavalry battalion does not stop patrolling, and there is no chaos.

Early the next morning, the siege officially began.

There is the danger of falling rocks in the front, and there is the power of military law in the back.

The soldiers who surrendered in Anhui County were forced to charge and climb the city with arrows and stones, and they could make meritorious contributions when they entered, and there was only one way to retreat.

Sun Ce's tactics at this time were similar to the Mongols attacking the city with slaves, and compared with the defensive battle in Anhui County, Liu Xun's soldiers fought very "actively".

In just one morning, eight or nine hundred were killed on the Jiangdong side.

For the first time, the defenders encountered a "mad dog" charge, and although the casualties were far less than those of the attackers, the supplies such as bows and arrows, masonry and stone were quickly consumed.

After Long Xiang inspected the four gates of Hefei, he focused on the city, he knew that logistics supply was the key, but fortunately, Feng Zhong did a very good job, and the whole city was in good order as usual.

At noon, Long Xiang walked to the middle of the north-south arterial road and found a familiar figure, and the other party also saw him at the same time, and greeted him excitedly.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I'll look around, how are you?"

In an open space next to the road, there are a lot of materials to be transferred, and Qiao Ling is responsible for counting and arranging vehicles.

"It's an easy job, I heard from the craftsmen who transported the goods, the fighting was fierce on all sides, we can hold it, right?"

"It's necessary to hold on, just look at my appearance, but the war has just begun, and since Childe wants to help Hefei, he can't give up halfway, huh..."

In the middle of Long Xiang's words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the pile of materials, and there were a lot of vegetables, melons and fruits and other ingredients, so he pointed and asked, "Childe, these things are..."

"The people in the city sent to reward the soldiers, and Feng Dudu gathered them here for me, and they will be pulled and cooked into food in a while, and they will be added to the officers and soldiers defending the city later."

"I see... Do a good job..."

When Long Xiang was under Yuan Shu, he had seen officers and soldiers robbing the people's food, but he had never seen the people who took the initiative to sacrifice the army.

At this moment, Long Xiang was very pleased,

sighed that he didn't seem to have done anything, and the popularity was actually not bad.

In fact, the people's ideas are simple, whoever gives me food will support whom, they live a stable life here, naturally do not want Hefei to change hands, there are always a few noble morals, take out the surplus grain at home to support the defense of the city.

Leaving Qiaoling's work area, Long Xiang went to the settlement of the new homeless people.

Because they had just entered the city to catch up with the war, these people were undoubtedly panicked in their hearts, but fortunately, Feng Zhong provided a simple shelter and two meals of porridge and rice for free.

During the war, except for the arrow-making workshop, the rest of the workshops and construction sites in Hefei were all suspended.

The new people have nowhere to work, and Long Xiang feels that these people are in danger, so he has to confirm it in person, but the scene is different from what he imagined.

There was no panic, no complaints, and even a hint of satisfaction in the eyes of these people.

Later, after asking Feng Zhong, I learned that these homeless people were hungry and full of food in Anhui County, and it was better to eat relief food in Hefei, so it was impossible to respond to Sun Ce.

Before Long Xiang left with satisfaction, he called Feng Zhong aside and instructed, "Uncle Zhong, half of these homeless people are craftsmen, and they are also skilled craftsmen from Shouchun, Hefei needs them very much, you have to take care of them for me."

"Yunqi don't worry, the craftsman battalion is not enough, they will all be my soldiers in the future, and they can't treat their own people badly..." Feng Zhong smiled and nodded.

"Very good, I'll look elsewhere..."

"Okay."

Feng Zhong's assurance, Long Xiang had no doubts, and left to continue the inspection.

Go out in the morning and return home in the evening.

After a day of running around in Hefei, Long Xiang was like moving bricks on the construction site for a day, although his body was a little tired, but his heart was very steady.

Although Sun Ce's attack was fierce, the defenders also defended well, and logistics supplies were provided in an orderly manner.

If there are no external factors, if we continue to defend like we do today, the besieging side will surely fail.

Real wars are different from games, and if there is no deep hatred, it is impossible to storm at any cost.

Sun Ce is brave and ruthless, but he is not a simple martial artist, Long Xiang thinks that Sun Ce will retreat in the face of difficulties, but the war is not as simple as he thought.

As night fell, Long Xiang prepared a sparse drink and waited for the camp owners to return for dinner, but Feng Zhong and Cao Xing were not seen reporting for a long time.

Is something wrong?

Long Xiang personally inspected the key points today, and there will be an accident in the scene of Haiyan River Qing in the streets and alleys? He struggled to convince himself that it was impossible.

"What's going on with them? Shouldn't I have not seen my wife and children for a day, and secretly ran back to Fat No. 1, right?"

Tang Yu's joke caused everyone to laugh, but Liu Ye beside Lu Su looked solemn.

Seeing Long Xiang's frowns, Liu Ye arched his hand and said: "None of them are public generals who have been abolished for personal gain, Long Sima had better send someone to take a look, maybe he was stumped by something important, today's craftsmen and cavalry battalions are not easier than the city defense battalions."

"I'll go." Tang Yu was the first to stand up.
