Time passed quickly, and the sun had already set.

The forbidden soldiers woke up one after another, washed their faces with Anfengtang water, and checked their equipment one by one energetically.

This trip is not a small fight, it is a real deep into the belly of the enemy, and there is no room for sloppiness, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life!

Ying Xuan also checked himself, and after confirming that it was correct, he led everyone along the bank of the Huaishui River all the way north.

Walked to a wooded area ten miles away from Shouchun, abandoned the horses and burrowed into the surrounding bushes with the homeless people.

Zhang Han looked at the moon twice.

"It's almost August, and the moon is in this position, so it should be the end of the day!"

Ying Xuan looked at it from a distance, and there were too few places to hide in the last ten miles of Shouchun.

If the Huaiyang Army can't contain the other party well and attract all their energy, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to approach!

Ying Xuan frowned, he couldn't be sure if the Huaiyang Army camp would follow the order and attack with all its might.

It was impossible for him to gamble with his life, so he thought about it and called Zhang Wangcai.

"How many of you are among the messengers?"

Zhang Wangcai lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Back to the Imperial History! There were dozens of us, and we usually gathered near the big rock in front of us to swim across the moat and into the tunnel! ”

Ying Xuan glanced at the position of Zhang Wangcai's finger, and there was nothing.

"We all gathered around the stone after the hour had passed, and it was only when the time had passed that the tunnel would be opened!"

Ying Xuan nodded and turned around to explain to Zhang Han.

"With that big stone as the center, touch all the obstacles within a radius of three miles, and kill people when you encounter them!"

Ying Xuan's words made Zhang Wangcai shudder.

After a while, he saw that shadows quickly spread out and surrounded the vicinity of the big rock.

Then I started searching inside one by one.

He couldn't see clearly in the moonlight, but he could clearly see some shadows that would be delayed for a while.

This meeting is a human life.

Zhang Wangcai swallowed his saliva, he was very glad that Chang Lin had brought these people to arrest him.

Otherwise, I don't know how I died tonight.

After the cleanup was completed, dozens of forbidden soldiers waited on the ground in place of the messengers.

Occasionally, you can see one or two late shadows, which disappear as soon as they get close to the big rock.

At this time, the forbidden army will rush over and replace the two of them.

As the moonlight gets higher and higher, the southwest corner of Shouchun City is the far right of Yingxuan's line of sight.

The flames suddenly brightened.

Immediately after that, a large number of rushing kills can be heard here.

Ying Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists.

Those Huaiyang troops did not resist the order, they were really desperately attacking the city.

……

South of Shouchun Castle.

An army of 30,000 poured out.

The firelight lit up the entire sky.

The county lieutenant was divided into dozens of phalanxes with a thousand people.

With the siege vehicle as the center, three thousand people were set up on the left and right to attack the entire southern city wall.

Except for the siege engine in the middle, which only storms the city gates.

The rest of the battle formations took turns attacking without stopping!

The county guard stood at the back with a solemn expression.

He didn't want to be able to take the city wall, but only that these soldiers could die less, or die more slowly, and hold on until two hours later, and survive one more.

But at the same time, he also knew that the imperial historian didn't know where he had touched Shouchun City.

A slight slack on his own may lead to him being discovered by the enemy and annihilated in the city, and his achievements will fall short.

His inner struggle kept him from making up his mind.

At this time, the county lieutenant on the side stepped forward.

"No! The attack of the six phalanxes also failed to make the opponent pull out all the troops! ”

"If this continues, Yushi will not have a chance to enter safely!"

"Captain obeys!"

The lieutenant on the side suddenly stood up.

"The last general!"

"Five thousand soldiers! Storm the southeast corner and open up another battlefield! No matter what method you use, lure me out all the regular troops in Shouchun City! ”

The Lieutenant did not hesitate.

"The last general will not be dishonored!"

The county guard's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something.

Opening up another battlefield is equivalent to increasing the speed at which the soldiers die again!

If this continues, it is likely that it will not be able to reach for two hours, and 30,000 soldiers will be killed and wounded!

He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say anything.

……

The time has come.

On the west and north walls of Shouchun City, ninety percent of the guards have been reduced, and most of them have gone to the south city wall to support.

The Huaiyang Army's offensive was even more ferocious than Ying Xuan expected.

He also knew that this was all the time that the soldiers had bought with their lives.

Seeing that the time had come, he was about to give the order to enter the city, but Ying Xuan suddenly found out.

The guards on the two walls were partially withdrawn, and there were almost no more people left.

Ying Xuan frowned, is the Huaiyang Army crazy? Shouchun City, which was pressed by such an offensive, almost abandoned the other sides, and was it really filling the moat with his life?

But there was no time for him to hesitate at the moment.

Ying Xuan gave an order.

"Change your strategy, and fifty people will follow me into the city from the north tunnel."

"All the displaced people and the rest of the people go to take the west city wall and gate, and leave two people to send a letter to attract the Huaiyang army to attack the west city!"

Zhang Han was also sent to the west city wall by Ying Xuan.

"Yushi can't, I'm not by my side, who will protect you!"

Ying Xuan turned around and slapped Zhang Han on the shoulder, and said to him seriously.

"Remember you're a general! Not a guard! Now is your chance to perform! ”

"This is your first battle, lead these people to take Shouchun City for me! Let the world see who my Ying Xuan's staff are! ”

Zhang Han clenched his fists, this was an opportunity for him, but at this moment, he valued Yingxuan's safety more.

Ying Xuan smiled.

"Don't worry, the people in this world who can kill me haven't been born yet!"

Then he said with a serious expression.

"Zhang Han listens to orders!"

With Ying Xuan's official order, Zhang Han could only turn around and lead one hundred and fifty forbidden soldiers and hundreds of homeless people to the west city wall.

And Ying Xuan took the remaining fifty forbidden soldiers along the embankment of the Huai River to Shouchun City dozens of meters away.

The north side of Shouchun City is close to the Huai River.

Under the guidance of Zhang Wangcai, everyone crossed the flat land of dozens of meters at a very fast speed and came to the inner bank of the moat.

In the process, the few remaining guards on the city wall, some saw these figures, but they did not make a single movement.

I thought it was the messengers who had touched it again.

Ying Xuan looked at the tunnel on the slope of the riverbank, which was not much higher than the water level, and frowned slightly.

Sure enough, it was the handiwork of that group of Yue people.

I still like to make holes!

Before coming, Zhang Wangcai had already said that there were dozens of armor guards at the exit of the tunnel.

If you want to live in peace, I'm afraid it's not too easy.

But now, with such a shortage of manpower outside, they should have fewer people to defend.

After all, a one-meter-high tunnel, how many people can come in if it is dead, and the guards on the city wall have already discovered it if there are too many people.

Ying Xuan waved his hand, and behind Zhang Wangcai was ten forbidden soldiers who had changed into the clothes of the homeless.

Take them as the vanguard, wait for the other side to relax, and then attack.

……

At this moment, the siege battle of the southern city wall has entered a white-hot state.

The county guard looked at the soldiers who fell from the siege ladder one by one, and his heart ached.

The lieutenant's clenched palm never let go.

The soldiers relied on their bloodiness and rushed to the city wall several times, but they were still pressed down by the other party.

Seeing that the six battle formations in the first round were almost dead and wounded, the county lieutenant could only grit his teeth with red eyes.

"Second round, give it to me!"
