Everyone looked at Li Yi, who was rushing towards the city wall like the wind, and they didn't understand what was wrong with him at all.

However, Li Yi was very anxious to confirm one thing, one thing that might be related to the entire defense line of Yuyang County.

Details determine success or failure, and Li Yi generally pays more attention to details than ordinary people.

Just now, Qi Chao said: Let whoever you want to know, let whoever knows, suddenly woke up Li Yi, who was still thinking hard.

He immediately thought about why Yuyang County had not received any notice from the beginning to the end.

It's just that he still needs to confirm his thoughts.

When he rushed to the wall, the defending soldiers all looked at him in astonishment.

These days, they also have some understanding of this young man who can control the return cannon at will.

It's just that they don't understand why Li Yi, a young man, is running to the city wall in a hurry in this cold and windy weather.

Li Yi saw that everyone was looking at him, but he didn't care at all, he ran to the tower of the city wall in three or two steps, and looked towards the camp of the grassland tribe on tiptoe.

Because the dark clouds in the sky blocked the sun's rays, it was difficult for the grassland tribe camp more than ten miles away to see clearly.

So he immediately circled his hands in a circle, squinted his eyes against the circle, and looked carefully into the distance.

His movements looked strange, and the soldiers around him all looked at him curiously.

"What is this little brother Li doing? This time he stopped drawing talismans and used spells instead? ”

A soldier stabbed his companion in the arm.

"What kind of spell is this!"

Saying that, this guy followed Li Yi's example and circled his hands into a small circle, and looked through the small circle towards the outside of the battlement.

It's okay not to look at it, but when he looks at it, he realizes that something is wrong.

Originally, he couldn't see clearly, but he could see clearly through the small circle formed by his hand.

"I'm afraid it's not the legendary clairvoyance!"

It was the soldier muttering to himself.

When the surrounding soldiers heard them say this, they couldn't help but follow Li Yi's example and look in the direction of the grassland tribe.

As a result, they were all taken aback, and many of them carefully compared the difference between not passing through the small circle and passing through the small circle, not to mention that the effect was still very obvious.

"This little brother Li is really a Taoist cultivator, and his methods are really admirable."

Several soldiers deliberately raised their voices and said in the direction of Li Yi.

It's just that Li Yi didn't have time to deal with them at this time, but at this time he was carefully looking for something along the camp of the grassland tribe.

After a while, Li Yi put down his hand and frowned, and then rushed down the city wall again.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at the busy Li Yi in astonishment again.

Then they looked at each other, and then shrank back behind the battlements and continued to take shelter from the wind.

"I know why we haven't received any news from Yuyang County!"

Li Yi pushed open the door of the barracks, startling Jing Zizheng, An Su, Qi Ning and Qi Chao.

At this time, Li Yi was obviously very excited.

He closed the door, kept the cold wind out, and walked briskly to the middle of the barracks.

"What is the reason?"

The four asked in unison.

"It's because someone doesn't want to" let us know anything. ”

Li Yi said with a sigh of relief.

The four of them couldn't help but be stunned, and then they all rolled their eyes.

"Isn't this nonsense, of course we know that this is because the North Division and the Ministry of War don't let us know any news, what's the use of you talking about things that everyone knows."

Qi Chao couldn't help complaining.

"Listen to me!"

Li Yi was not annoyed, he continued to explain.

"You heard me clearly, I said that someone didn't want us to get any news, but I didn't say anything about the North Division and the Military Department."

"Senior brother, do you mean that the grassland tribe doesn't want us to get news?"

Thinking that Li Yi rushed to the city wall just now and must have gone to observe the camp of the grassland tribe, Jing Zizheng guessed what Li Yi meant.

"That's not right, Childe, are you mistaken, how did the grassland tribe let the Beisi and the military department not deliver information to Yuyang County?"

Ansu didn't figure out the trick for a while.

"At the beginning, I was also thinking about why the North Division and the Military Department did not deliver the news to Yuyang County, according to reason, Yuyang County is also very likely to be used as a breakthrough."

Li Yi slowed down and continued.

"But then Qi Chao said that whoever he wanted to know would let whoever know, and it was this sentence that woke me up, since the North Division and the Military Department would theoretically not fail to deliver news to Yuyang County, then who didn't want the Northern Division and the Military Department to deliver news to Yuyang County the least?"

"Prairie tribe!"

The four of them spoke in unison again.

"But how did they do it?"

Qi Ning couldn't figure it out.

"Actually, the principle is very simple, that is, to convince the North Division and the Military Department that this time the target of the grassland tribe's attack is Shanggu County. Let them completely dispel the idea that Yuyang County will be a breakthrough. ”

Li Yi's words were sonorous and powerful.

"Could it be that the grassland tribes outside the city have gone to Shanggu County on a large scale? If that's the case, then the point of attack could really be Ueya-gun. ”

Jingzizheng said with a worried face, so he had to hurry up and inform his eldest brother, so that he could inform General Long to go to Shanggu County to rescue.

"Senior brother, don't worry, none of the grassland tribes outside the city have gone to Shanggu County, but there should be a large number of grassland tribes in Shanggu County and Yunzhong County who are rushing to Yuyang County."

Li Yi grabbed Jing Zizheng, who was in a hurry.

"Senior brother, aren't you playing senior brother, those guys from the North Division and the Military Department have been making battle plans all year round, and the cavalry of the grassland tribe does not go to Shanggu County, how can they believe that the grassland tribe will use Shanggu County as a breakthrough?"

Jing Zizheng was still thinking that Li Yi was talking nonsense at this time.

"Li Yi, don't beat around the bush anymore, just tell what the hell is going on."

Qi Ning was already very disgusted with Li Yi's way of speaking at this time.

Looking at Qi Ning's frowning brows and already dissatisfied eyes, Li Yi had to explain obediently and seriously.

"In fact, everyone has misunderstood a point, in addition to the cavalry, the most important role of the grassland tribe in the siege of the city is those trebuchets, which is what everyone calls return cannons and crossbows and other siege equipment."

"I see!" Keiko slapped her thigh and jumped up immediately.

"What do you understand?"

Qi Ning, who was already very impatient, couldn't help but roar angrily when he saw Li Yi's words being interrupted again.

Seeing Qi Ning's devouring eyes, Jing Zizheng had no choice but to sit back in place and didn't dare to say a word more.

Seeing his senior brother deflated, Li Yi couldn't help but laugh secretly.

"You go on."

Qi Ning was now like a general commanding the battlefield, scolding Fang Xuan.

"I just went to the city to observe, and now there are no trebuchets left in the grassland tribe camp outside the city, and I guess the crossbows may all be gone."

"Wouldn't this be a good thing, these things are gone, and it will be even more difficult for the grassland tribe to attack our Yuyang County in the future."

This time it was Qi Ning who interrupted Li Yi, and he completely ignored Qi Ning, who was already on the verge of exploding.

"I'll explain this to you next, and I'll move on to mine."

Li Yi replied and continued.

"I estimate that even all the trebuchets and crossbows in Yunzhong County have been concentrated in Shanggu County now. In this way, if you are the Northern Division and the Military Department, where do you think the grassland tribe will attack? ”

After hearing this, the four of them were all silent, indeed, as Li Yi said, if they were judged from the perspective of the Beisi and the Military Department, they would definitely judge that the breakthrough point of the grassland tribe's attack this time must be Shanggu County.

"Next, I will answer the question asked by Qi Chao just now, if the grassland tribes do not use trebuchets and crossbows, how should they attack the city."

The four of them couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen carefully, because this was the key to the whole plan.

"Just now when I saw that the trebuchets and crossbows of the grassland tribes had all disappeared from the city, I was also wondering if they really planned to attack Shanggu County, but I thought it was unlikely, because according to my assumption, Yuyang County was far easier to conquer than Shanggu County in terms of geographical advantage, numerical advantage or combat effectiveness of troops."

Li Yi took a deep breath and continued.

"The grassland tribes have always liked to learn from wild wolves in wars, and they will definitely choose weak enemies to attack first, but how to take Yuyang County at the lowest cost without long-range siege equipment is the key."

Li Yi opened the door of the barracks as he spoke, and the cold wind rushed in all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.

"But just now I spotted the dark clouds in the sky, and I realized the real plan of the other party."

Li Yi pointed to the dark clouds in the distance.

Jing Zizheng and An Su both understood in an instant, and at the same time, the faces of the two of them were full of shock.

But Qi Ning and Qi Chao were at a loss, and their reactions always seemed to be half a beat slower than others.

"They're going to storm the city in the rain?"

Ansu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right, they just want to attack the city in the rain, so that our archers, trebuchets and bed crossbows will all be unusable because of the rain, and their trebuchets and bed crossbows will also be useless, so they will send the trebuchets and bed crossbows to Ueya County to confuse the secret agents of the North Division and the military department."

Li Yi continued to explain, this time Qi Ning and Qi Chao finally understood the mystery.

"Sending the trebuchet and crossbow that were not used in the first place to Ueya County to confuse the North Division and the military department is simply a ploy to kill two birds with one stone."

An Su secretly admired the person who could come up with such a plan, and at the same time, he was also surprised by Li Yi's insight, and he couldn't help but believe that prophecy a little more.

"The grassland tribe sent trebuchets and bed crossbows to Shanggu County, not only did the people of the Northern Division and the Military Department believe that the breakthrough of this attack was Shanggu County, but they also successfully made the people of the Northern Division and the Military Department not dare to pass on the information of the troop transfer to Yuyang County and Yunzhong County."

"Why is that?"

Qi Ning felt that her own head seemed to be a little insufficient today.

"Because the people of the Northern Division and the Ministry of War are worried that once the two counties are prepared and are discovered by the secret agents hiding in the two counties, the grassland tribe will know that Dayu has insight into their plan, although this plan is a fake plan at all."

Finally finished saying all the speculations, Li Yi finally breathed a long sigh of relief, he knew that Yuyang County would usher in the most brutal battle to defend the city next.

This battle will be a bloody battle to defend the city in the true sense of the word.

The steppe tribes abandoned their proud cavalry archery, and it was indeed surprising that they chose this method of siege.

"I need to hurry up and inform my brother, seeing that it is about to rain, it looks like the steppe tribes will attack tonight."

Jingzi immediately got up and ran towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Anjun, you hurry up and inform your centurion, hurry up and go to the city to find the clothes and hats, and then fight in the rain These things will largely ensure that everyone's body will not be frozen by the rain and cold wind."

Li Yi commanded An Su, and An Su immediately nodded and rushed towards the barracks where his centurion was.

"Qi Ning and Qi Chao, hurry up and find your uncle, and ask him to get more clothes from the grassland tribe from the beggar army."

Li Yi said as he squatted on the ground, pulled out a dagger, and began to carve it.

"Oh, by the way, you have to ask your uncle to invite a few good men of the beggar army to come over, and at the same time ask him to call the prince of Linguo over, don't ask too much, hurry up, you will know the answer in a while."

Li Yi didn't raise his head and continued to draw something on the ground.

Qi Ning and Qi Chao saw that Li Yi was serious, so they had to listen to his instructions to do it.

Soon Jing Zizheng passed the guards' proclamation and entered the Chinese army's big tent, and he immediately repeated all the words Li Yi told him.

When Li Yi finished speaking, the silent needle drop in the big tent could be heard.

They were still discussing how the grassland tribe should act next, and they were still racking their brains to guess why the North Division and the military department didn't give them any news.

But now Keiko has told them all the answers.

This made them suddenly feel that the mouth was suddenly opened, and the situation that was originally like a fog suddenly became clear.

It's just that when they fully understand the current situation, they are all at a loss.

Because although they now have a complete insight into the war plan of the grassland tribe, the time when the grassland tribe plans to attack should be tonight, which makes them have no chance to prepare again.

Next, they must use their flesh and blood to resist the siege of the other party.

Both sides have lost the means to use long-range attacks, so the only factors that will decide the outcome tonight are numbers, courage and willpower.

In terms of numbers, Yuyang County is at an absolute disadvantage, so the key to victory lies in courage and willpower.

All the generals present in this kind of war have basically never been there, and they feel that the only thing they can do now is to go back and boost the morale of the soldiers.

Just when the generals were still thinking about how to motivate their soldiers, a personal soldier of Song Shilong outside the big tent of the Chinese army walked in and said a few words in Song Shilong's ear.

Song Shilong confessed to General Long and walked out of the Chinese army's tent.
