At night, when it was already dark, He Si'an walked above the city, frowning at the soldiers below who were still struggling to attack the city.

Originally, Liu Bei had already withdrawn his troops an hour ago, and everyone thought that the battle was over, but what people didn't expect was that just after dinner, Liu Bei actually launched an attack again, and he had the intention of attacking the city overnight.

"Those who climb the city wall will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver!"

"Capture the king of Hongnong alive, reward 1,000 taels of gold, and reward 2,000 stones!"

Hearing a shout below, He Si'an frowned, what else is the reward of a hundred taels of silver for those who climb the city wall, is this reward so easy to take? Not to mention whether you can come up, even if you come up, will you still live?

Shaking his head to abandon distracting thoughts, the corners of He Si'an's mouth hooked a good-looking arc. Since you still choose to siege the city at this time, then...

"The lord and the lord and the mother are ten thousand gold, so let's go back and rest quickly, and I and Xuangao (Zang Ba's character) will be guarding here."

Gao Pei stepped forward and said to He Si'an with his fists clenched.

"It's okay, then it's hard General Gao!" As he spoke, he patted Gao Pei's shoulder and walked down the city tower with Niuniu on the side.

"Brother Si'an, are you really okay? Looking at the intensity of Liu Bei's siege, it seems that it is much higher than in the daytime! On the way, Niuniu looked at He Si'an and asked, with a little worry in her tone.

"It's okay, it's just a trick, it's quite difficult to attack the city at night, Niuniu and go back with her husband to rest for a night, tomorrow is the most critical moment..."

"Chen Gong, Cai Mao, don't let Gu down..."He Si'an thought in his heart while comforting Niuniu.

At the same time, when the eastern, southern, and western flanks were in full swing, a team appeared outside the north wall silently, and the leader was Chen Dao, a general under Liu Bei.

Looking at the tall city wall in front of him, Chen Zhi ordered the prepared wooden sections and ladders to be carried under the city wall, and the soldiers assembled the wooden sections and fixed them with hemp rope, and after about an hour, all the preparations were finally completed. Under the cover of the beating of drums not far away, five cloud ladders side by side were set up on the city wall with a 'clang'!

Through the faint moonlight, you can see that the top of the ladder at this time is less than half a meter from the upper edge of the city wall! Chen Zhi was immediately overjoyed.

Originally, he planned to send a few people up to test it first, but he was afraid of startling the snake, so he simply ordered the whole army to dispatch. I didn't dare to delay more, and made an offensive cleanup, and countless soldiers with long knives on their backs came to the city wall, lined up to climb the ladder, and climbed up under the cover of the dim sky!

"General, the soldiers below have already started to climb the ladder, shall we do it now?"

At the head of the city, Cai Mao's lieutenant came to his ear and whispered a question.

"Have you decided where the ladder is?" Cai Mao asked while calculating the time in her mind.

"We didn't dare to probe too much for fear of being discovered by the enemy, but we could still determine the approximate location! But don't worry, because Your Highness has specially instructed us a few days ago, we have prepared enough rolling logs here! ”

Standing below, Chen Zhi stared at the climbing soldiers, but for some reason, a bad feeling always lingered in his heart. Maybe it's an illusion, Chen Zhi always feels that someone on the city wall above pokes his head out from time to time to look down, the feeling of uneasiness becomes stronger and stronger, and the string in Chen Zhi's heart is getting tighter and tighter! Just when his soldiers saw that they had climbed to the top of the city, a sudden shout finally broke the strings in Chen Zhi's heart!

The sound of slaughter above the city was followed by an overwhelming barrage of arrows and the wailing of heavy objects being thrown down the walls and smashing on the ladder soldiers.

'It's over...' A thought flashed through Chen Zhi's mind...

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Bei and Chen Gong were pacing anxiously, and suddenly Liu Bei's ears moved, looking at the north, his heart was getting heavier and heavier!

He could clearly hear the violent shouting and killing sound that suddenly sounded over there, if Chen Zhi's sneak attack was successful, he would definitely not make such a sound of fighting.

As if to confirm what Liu Bei was thinking, I saw a guard stumbling towards this side!

"What's going on?" Without waiting for the guard to speak, Liu Bei took a few steps to hold him up.

"Your Excellency... General Chen... General Chen was ambushed by the defenders during his night attack and suffered heavy losses..."

The guards looked at Liu Bei's gloomy face, and they didn't dare to hide it, and finally told them about the situation over there.

"Hey, you stand down, give the order, the whole army will stop the siege, and have a good night's rest..."

At this time, Chen Gong was also beside Liu Bei, knelt down and said: "It was Chen Gong's misjudgment that led to the sudden increase in casualties in our army, please punish the lord!" ”

"How can you blame Gongtai for this." As he spoke, Liu Bei helped Chen Gong up, dusted off his body for him, and then continued to speak: "Hey, what is the crime of Gongtai, you and I didn't expect that King Hongnong would appear here, and a large number of Yizhou troops would follow.

Not only did the originally chaotic four counties of Jingnan be wiped out, but the reinforcements that would arrive at any time made the war confusing! That's why we're so passive! ”

"Hey, but after all, this night attack was still unsuccessful..."

Chen Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"What's the trouble with the public platform? Even if Guo Jia is resurrected and Jia Xu reappears, facing such a situation, knowing that it may be the trap of the other party, but in order to bet on the slightest possibility, he will choose to give it a try, go back to the account and rest, tomorrow we will do our best to fight, if we can't win, we can only say that God will do so..."

Looking at Liu Bei's lonely back, Chen Gong muttered to himself: "Providence? ”

Then he shook his head, as if he thought of something, Chen Gong's original expression suddenly became hideous, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes.

If it is really providential, then is Lu Boluxe's dream also providential? ‘

Thinking of this, Chen Gong thought for a moment and went to Tai Shici's camp.

It is estimated that even He Si'an didn't expect that an unintentional word a few days ago almost cost him his life.

…

About 100 miles away from Xiangyang, a force of about 5~60,000 people is stationed here.

At this time, everything was silent, the soldiers had already fallen asleep, Xu Shu sat alone on the grass in front of the barracks, looking up at the starry sky, but his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago...

Different time and place, but the same night...

How immature was I when I was a fledgling? The body that was hit by Jia Xu, Li Ru, Cao Cao and others was incomplete. Time has passed, and when I think back to everyone present at the time, Tong Yuan, Li Ru, and Zhang Yan are dead, Jia Xu is missing, Lu Bu, Hua Xiong, and Zhang Heng have all retired, and now that I think about it, it seems that only myself and the lord were still fighting in this mortal world among the people present at that time...

"Mr. Wenhe... In the past ten years, if I am lucky enough to meet you again, I don't know if Xu Shu can now achieve what you expected back then..."Xu Shu muttered to himself, and before he knew it, his cheeks were wet with tears...
