Chapter Eighty-Five: Attacking the Heart
Chen Feng was determined to go back and sleep beautifully.
But when I slept until midnight, I suddenly heard a bell ringing!
Chen Feng suddenly got up from the bed and hurriedly put on his armor and climbed to the top of the city wall, only to find that there were only a few cavalry circles under the city wall of Yecheng.
"What's going on? What's going on? Could it be that Zhao Jun has hit! ”
The lieutenant who was guarding the city hurriedly replied.
"General, then the Zhao army just made a gesture to attack the city! Seeing that the ladders were about to be transported, but the sappers who carried the ladders turned around and retreated, and then these cavalry kept circling under my city walls! ”
Chen Feng just wanted to scold, but after thinking about it, it was no wonder that this deputy general was frightened, rang the alarm bell, and 100,000 troops blocked the city gate, which was like hanging a sharp sword on people's heads.
Although this deputy general didn't see through this Zhao Jun's feint attack, he might not be able to grasp it if he changed it.
"Forget it, you go down and rest, I'll guard it myself!"
Chen Feng stood on the wall for a night, and he didn't see that the Zhao army had the intention of attacking the city.
From Yin Shi to the morning, Chen Feng never closed his eyes, and his spirit was tense, he was tense as a general, and the soldiers below were also tense.
In Zhao Jun's big tent, Su Chen changed into light clothes, sat in the camp tent, listened to the scout's report, and knew that Chen Feng personally went to the city to guard it, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Pass on my general's order, when the sun sets today, our army must beat the drum and shake! 100,000 soldiers must shout to the sky, the louder the better, we must make a posture of the whole army dispatching and vowing to attack the city! ”
"Order!"
As soon as the sun set, Zhao Jun beat the drums here, and 100,000 elite soldiers shouted in unison to the sky, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains, and the sound of shouting and killing from twenty miles away had already reached Yecheng.
God is pitiful, this Chen Feng has guarded the city gate for a day during the day, and he didn't dare to close his eyes.
When night fell, Chen Feng really couldn't stand it, so he replaced the deputy general to rest by himself, planning to recuperate his spirits and make plans tomorrow.
But who knew that when he took off this armor and closed his eyes, he fell asleep with another bell! Frightened, he hurriedly put on his armor and ran to the city.
Listening to the earth-shattering shouts outside, even Chen Feng felt that this time the Zhao army was really going to attack the city, but who would have thought that he would not even see a shadow!
"What is this Zhao Jun going to do? Attack and don't attack, just know how to shout! ”
Coincidentally, the lieutenant who sounded the alarm bell was the one last night.
"General, admiral... The last general ......"
This Chen Feng was so angry that he didn't sleep well, he was angry in his heart, he didn't know where to vent, he wanted to lead the troops to succeed, and he couldn't wait to fight with Zhao Jun and was afraid of fraud.
"You guys open your eyes for me, when do you see that Zhao Jun is really attacking the city, when is it ringing this bell!"
After Chen Feng finished speaking, he ran back in a huff, and Zhao Jun did not move any longer that night.
By the morning of the next day, Chen Feng had already raised his spiritual head, and when he climbed the city gate, he happened to see a few cavalry of the Zhao army, rushing towards Yecheng.
I thought it was time to attack the city this time, but I didn't expect those cavalry to shoot arrows with bows and arrows at the gate of Yecheng.
The defenders of Yecheng naturally wanted to fight back, but the cavalry was too fast, and they immediately withdrew after shooting a round, and not a single arrow was fired at the people of the Zhao army.
When Chen Feng calmed down, he found that the arrows he shot were all tied to letters.
"The letter says that Chen Feng is cowardly and timid, the Zhao army came from afar, Chen Feng waits for work but has no courage to lead the army to fight, and has sent reinforcements to Xuchang for help, how can such generals defend the city?"
"Wait for the quick surrender, capture Chen Feng alive, the reward of 10,000 gold, the first to open the city gate, the reward of 10,000 gold, if within two days, do not see the city gate opened, when the Zhao army breaks the city, will slaughter all the chickens and dogs in the city!"
Chen Fengqi's beard was crooked, he knew that this was Zhao Jun's tactics to attack the heart, and he must not let the news get out, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly burn all the hundreds of arrows that shot at the city gate.
But people's curiosity is sometimes so strong.
Especially when they saw Chen Feng's beard's crooked expression, they were even more curious, and they had to open the letter and take a sneak peek at the risk of cutting off their heads.
After reading the contents of the letter, these soldiers and soldiers were shocked and frightened, and they were shocked that Chen Feng didn't even have the heart to fight.
What I'm afraid of is that if this Chen Feng is defeated by the Zhao army, the Zhao army will attack the city, and the chickens and dogs killed in the city will not be left, how can it be good?
You must know that most of the 50,000 soldiers of the Yecheng defenders are in Yecheng, and it is not anyone else who slaughters the city, but their relatives and families.
And the letter also said that if Chen Feng could be captured alive and the city gate was the first to be opened, there would be 10,000 taels of gold!
Ten thousand taels of gold, what a temptation!
The contents of this heart spread farther and farther with people's curiosity and greed, and before the dawn even came, the soldiers of the whole city already knew the contents of this letter.
On the following day, Zhao Jun's activities became more frequent, not only feinting many times, but also shooting a lot of arrows tied to letters, destroying the military hearts of Yecheng's soldiers all the time.
The defenders of Yecheng are nervous, and once people's spirits are tense and they are played around, sooner or later there will be a time to collapse.
Su Chen rode a horse and looked at the defenders of Yecheng, even if he looked at it from a distance, he could see that the defenders of Yecheng were no longer as good as when he first arrived in Yecheng, one by one they were depressed, and there was no morale in the army!
"It's almost time! Pass my orders, today is the time to besiege the city! ”
These 100,000 elite soldiers were trained quickly, and once the order was issued, they were immediately put in order, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the 100,000 elite soldiers were prepared.
Even if the 100,000 army did not rush forward and march slowly, its momentum was unstoppable.
These soldiers defending the city were played by Zhao Jun in the dark, their eyes were blank, and they thought it was a feint when they saw Zhao Jun coming this time.
So no one dared to ring the alarm again, after all, if it was a feint attack this time, Chen Feng would probably cut people.
Generally, when the siege army marches to the city for about five miles, it is time to let go of wolf smoke and beat the war drums.
But now that he has marched under the city wall, the closest place to the city gate is only a hundred zhang, but Yecheng still has not let out wolf smoke to beat the war drums and sound the alarm bell!
Su Chen touched his chin, he didn't expect his plan to succeed so thoroughly.
"Herald! Besiege! ”
The 100,000 army began to attack the city with great momentum, but it was not until the ladder was put up on the city wall that the first Zhao army soldier slashed down a soldier defending the city with a knife, and the soldiers defending the city knew that they were really attacking the city!
