It was the first time I had been so close to the war, I used to be in the barracks, I was cooking in the kitchen, it was not my turn to charge, I could only see the corpses and the wounded after the war.

But now, the sky is not yet bright, but it is as bright as day because of the fire, and I can hear the earth-shattering shouts when I stay in the courtyard of the Zhou Mansion.

Qin Yuefeng handed over the affairs of the rear to Zhou Lie and Xue Yutian, and he was about to go up to the city tower to command the battle, but before he went out, I stopped him.

"I'm going too, take me with you. I stopped in front of him with my arms outstretched.

"No, I can't. He refused without hesitation.

"I'm going!"

"No!" Qin Yuefeng rejected me again, and before I could say it a third time, Qin Yuefeng suddenly became angry, pulled me aside, lowered his voice and said angrily: "This is not the time for you to be petty! Can you understand something?!

To be honest, Qin Yuefeng was quite terrifying when he was angry, and I was a little afraid of him in my heart, but at this time, I didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, bit my lip, and said, "Take me there! The new weapon of the Youta clan is only known to me, whether it is a cannon or not, whether it is an ordinary cannon or an artillery, I have to go to see it to know." ”

This moved Qin Yuefeng a little, but he still hesitated, and glanced at my lower abdomen with complicated eyes.

Seeing this, I continued: "General, this is a war! Tens of thousands of soldiers are fighting hard with you, but it's not a joke!"

Qin Yuefeng finally nodded, but his anger did not subside, and he said in a sullen voice: "Follow behind me, don't leave a step." ”

I nodded, silently followed Qin Yuefeng two steps away, and followed him step by step to the top of the city tower, although I was prepared, but when I saw a large number of people under the city tower, my feet were still soft, and I almost fell to the ground.

Qin Yuefeng reached out to help me at the right time as if he had thought of it in advance, then glanced at me, sighed lightly, pulled me forward with his arm, asked me to stand close behind him, and then put my hand in his palm and didn't let go.

I felt like I had found the backbone of the heart in an instant, holding him tightly, trying to even out my breath, and after a while, Qin Yuefeng leaned close to my ear and said, "Look at the one in front, is it a cannon?"

I also stabilized my mood at this time, so I raised my eyes and looked down carefully, only to see that below was a black pressure of the Youta soldiers, all wearing strange costumes, well, it is the traditional costume of the Youta tribe, among which the most strangely dressed person is in the center, it is easy to identify, it is not Tang Rick, it must be the deputy general in his previous mouth.

In the first half of the army, there were four behemoths, majestically lined up, indeed four cannons, huge in size, and behind the cannons, there were really shells with leads, and there were quite a few shells.

I gasped, pulled Qin Yuefeng's sleeve, and said, "It's artillery! It's huge! If you use it to break the gate, these few feet thick city gate won't last too long." ”

Qin Yuefeng frowned when he heard this, and immediately called a small soldier to come over and ordered to use sandbags to strengthen the city gate, after all, if the city gate was broken, it would be meaningless to deploy it in the city.

Not long after the order to strengthen the city gate was passed down, the Youta clan over there took action.

The lieutenant general surnamed Cui at the head rode on his horse, bent down and said something to the little soldier next to him, the little soldier listened and leaned forward, with a strange smile on his face, he stood still in front of the city gate, scratched his ears and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Yuefeng, and said loudly: "The general of the Wind Sparrow Empire, our general said, please resist stubbornly, you must resist stubbornly!" After saying that, he laughed twice, turned around and quickly returned to his army.

Stubborn resistance? Shouldn't we be persuaded to surrender? Why is this still a place for us to resist stubbornly?

Before I could react in my mind, the shouting under the tower suddenly stopped, and in silence, there was a sudden boom, and a cannon threw a cannonball at the city gate.

Where have our soldiers ever seen such a thing, and when they were bombarded like this, the soldiers on the city tower panicked, and half of their souls and six spirits were gone.

"Don't panic!" Qin Yuefeng turned around and roared, "It's just something that has a façade, what are you afraid of?!"

Forced by Qin Yuefeng's military might, the soldiers temporarily stabilized their minds, but they could see that their expressions were still shocked.

On the other side, the Youta clan who had fired a cannon did not make any other moves, they were quiet for a while, and then began to shout in unison and loud again.

This call lasted three hours.

Three hours later, it was dawn, and then the Youta clan fired a second shot. A crack was blasted out of our gates, but the Wanderers still had no intention of attacking, and continued to shout.

They seemed to be tireless, shouting wave after wave, and their voices were earth-shattering, and there was no intention of subsiding.

They were not in a hurry to attack, and we did not dare to act rashly. But compared with the real fight, this situation is even more terrifying.

It's real hell.

At that time, I was nestled in a leeward corner of the city wall, my ears were shaken to the point that my ears were ringing, and I was shouting incessantly, the artillery that flew in every few hours, and the city gate that would be blown up at some point, this uncertain, unknown fear destroyed our military spirit little by little.

Although Qin Yuefeng had ordered the city gates to be strengthened and the soldiers on the city walls to work in shifts to minimize the shouting they could bear, the disintegration of the soldiers' spirits was still clear at a glance.

"This is psychological warfare, it can't go on like this, no one can stand it if it goes on like this!" I said to Qin Yuefeng.

Of course Qin Yuefeng knew, but at the moment we were very passive, and the appearance of artillery almost made us helpless.

At this moment, Vice General Cui under the city tower seemed to have received some news, a strange look appeared on his face, and then with a wave of his hand, the shouting stopped abruptly.

The sound stopped suddenly, and my head was still in a state of confusion, and I hit myself with two big mouths to get better.

"Report!" A soldier stumbled up under the city tower and handed Qin Yuefeng a note.

Qin Yuefeng saw it and was shocked: "Sima Yang is besieged!"

"What? How could it be? Didn't you arrange for Jiang Yitang and them to be with Sima Guards? How could they meet the Youta clan?" I wondered.

"Hmph, it's okay, it's just that from supporting the Star Sparrow to dragging the enemy army, it is also good for the Star Sparrow to be able to hold back some more enemy troops. Qin Yuefeng frowned, thoughtful.

"What are you thinking?" I saw Qin Yuefeng's expression, and I knew that he must have noticed something.

"I'm wondering, where is Ruiqing. Qin Yuefeng said thoughtlessly, but did not continue to explain.

As he spoke, the soldiers of the Youta tribe who had just been born under the castle tower began to shout again, and it seemed that they were going to fire the third shot.

"Xiuxiu," Qin Yuefeng suddenly stopped me, "Is there a limit to the number of times this artillery?"

"No," I wondered, "as long as there are shells, you can use them all the time." ”

"But, you see, all the cannons used by the Youta clan have not been used a second time. Qin Yuefeng gestured to me with his eyes, I raised my eyes and looked, sure enough, the two cannons that had been used were moved to the side, looking like they didn't plan to use them anymore, but there were obviously a lot of shells behind the artillery.

What's going on?

"I know!" I patted my head and realized that although the Youta clan has cannons, they are all wooden, even if the wood is strong, it is difficult to withstand the impact of the cannonballs again and again, so the artillery of the Youta clan, to a certain extent, is disposable.

It turns out that the Youta people are here to engage in psychological warfare, and they want to use the so-called artillery and shouts to break down our mental defense line and disturb our military morale, so that they may succeed in attacking the city without spending a single soldier.

Seriously, they were almost on the verge of success, because the soldiers on our side were driven crazy by the shouts and the sound of artillery.

Since I was talking about psychological warfare, an idea popped up for me, and when it came to me, I was taken aback myself, because it was too risky.

I tugged on Qin Yuefeng's sleeve, told Qin Yuefeng what I had just seen, and seeing him nodding, I asked, "Even if you know this, you still can't break the current stalemate, do you have a way?"

Qin Yuefeng looked at me and couldn't help pinching my face: "It seems that you have a good way?"

I hesitated for a moment before I said, "There is a way, but it is a bit risky." ”

After that, I leaned into Qin Yuefeng's ear and told me about my plan.

"So?"

"So, let's open the gates. ”

Qin Yuefeng's body stiffened, and he froze for a while before he said, "Xiuxiu, you are not only taking some risks, you are simply gambling." ”

I didn't refute, but responded: "It's gambling, since the Youta clan is playing psychological tactics with us, let's also gamble, and see who can win at this time." Or do you have a safe solution?"

Qin Yuefeng was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "It's nine deaths." ”

With that, he waved his hand to summon the soldiers on standby, and issued a military order: "The whole army is ready for battle, and after the fourth cannon is fired, open the city gate." ”

The order was passed down layer by layer, and the soldiers on standby in the corners of the city seemed to be shocked by the military order, and came back repeatedly to confirm with Qin Yuefeng several times.

Zhou Lie was also summoned to the city tower, Zhou Lie rushed to the city tower in a hurry, but was stopped outside by Qin Yuefeng's order, and couldn't help but scold: "Qin Yuefeng! You are pushing Linbo City to a dead end! The northern front of the empire is going to be destroyed in your hands!"
